Bush could seize absolute control of U.S. government By DOUG THOMPSON Publisher, Capitol Hill Blue Jan 13, 2006, 07:42 Email this article Printer friendly page

President George W. Bush has signed executive orders giving him sole authority to impose martial law, suspend habeas corpus and ignore the Posse Comitatus Act that prohibits deployment of U.S. troops on American streets. This would give him absolute dictatorial power over the government with no checks and balances.

Bush discussed imposing martial law on American streets in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks by activating “national security initiatives” put in place by Ronald Reagan during the 1980s.

These “national security initiatives," hatched in 1982 by controversial Marine Colonel Oliver North, later one of the key players in the Iran-Contra Scandal, charged the Federal Emergency Management Agency with administering executive orders that allowed suspension of the Constitution, implementation of martial law, establishment of internment camps, and the turning the government over to the President.

John Brinkerhoff, deputy director of FEMA, developed the martial law implementation plan, following a template originally developed by former FEMA director Louis Guiffrida to battle a “national uprising of black militants.” Gifuffrida’s implementation of martial law called for jailing at least 21 million African Americans in “relocation camps.” Brinkerhoff later admitted in an interview with the Miami Herald that President Reagan signed off on the initiatives and they remained in place, dormant, until George W. Bush took office.

Brinkerhoff moved on the Anser Institute for Homeland Security and, following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, provided the Bush White House and the Pentagon with talking points supporting revised “national security initiatives” that would could allow imposition of martial law and suspension of the Posse Comitatus Act of 1978, the law that is supposed to forbid use of troops for domestic law enforcement.

Brinkerhoff wrote that intentions of Posse Comitatus are “misunderstood and misapplied” and that the U.S. has in times of national emergency the “full and absolute authority” to send troops into American streets to “enforce order and maintain the peace.”

Bush used parts of the plan to send troops into the streets of New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. In addition, FEMA hired former special forces personnel from the mercenary firm Blackwater USA to “enforce security.”

Blackwater USA, in its promotional materials, describes itself as “the most comprehensive professional military, law enforcement, security, peacekeeping, and stability operations company in the world,” adding that “we have established a global presence and provide training and operational solutions for the 21st century in support of security and peace, and freedom and democracy everywhere.”

Blackwater is also a major U.S. contractor in Iraq and has a contract with the Bush White House to provide additional security work “on an as-needed basis.”

The Department of Homeland Security established the “Northern Command for National Defense,” a wide-ranging program that includes FEMA, the Pentagon, the FBI and the National Security Agency. Executive orders already signed by Bush allow the Northern Command to send troops into American streets, seize control of radio and television stations and networks and impose martial law “in times of national emergency.”

The authority to declare what is or is not a national emergency rests entirely with Bush who does not have to either consult or seek the approval of Congress for permission to assume absolute control over the government of the United States.

The White House press office would neither confirm nor deny existence of Bush’s executive orders or the existence of the Northern Command for National Defense. Neither would the Department of Homeland Security.

But my sources within the White House and DHS tell me the plans are in place, ready for implementation when the command comes from the man who keeps telling the American public that he is a “war time president” who will “do anything in my power” to impose his will on the people of the United States.

And he has made sure that power will be absolute when he chooses to use it.

Classified presidential directives are not technically called "executive orders," and they do not have executive order numbers. All executive orders proper, i.e., all those with executive order numbers, are unclassified.

Obviously, there are many classified presidential directives. An example is Bush's notorious and still-classified Memorandum of Notification to the CIA of Sept. 17, 2001, the apparent origin of the torture policies.

15 years or so after the Bolshevik Revolution. It took years for Hitler and the Nazis to succeed in making the Germans indifferent to what happened to the Jews.

OMG! And we all know how much good the "cavalry" was in saving New Orleans. That was just a foretaste of things to come.

This Brinkerhoff is nothing but a career civil servant who has let power go to his racist pencil-necked head.

With respect to Washington, the attack on the Pentagon has long been anticipated.

Oh that's interesting, and they were so prepared.

Journal of Homeland Security, Interview with Col. John R. Brinkerhoff, September 13, 2001.

A Miami Herald article on July 5, 1987, reported that the former FEMA director Louis Guiffrida's deputy, John Brinkerhoff, handled the martial law portion of the planning. The plan was said to be similar to one Mr Giuffrida had developed earlier to combat "a national uprising by black militants". It provided for the detention "of at least 21million American Negroes"' in "assembly centres or relocation camps".

Today Mr Brinkerhoff is with the highly influential Anser Institute for Homeland Security. Following a request by the Pentagon in January that the US military be allowed the option of deploying troops on American streets, the institute in February published a paper by Mr Brinkerhoff arguing the legality of this.

Foundations are in place for martial law in the US.

With respect to Washington, the attack on the Pentagon has long been anticipated. The Pentagon authorities, Arlington County, and the surrounding jurisdictions of Alexandria and Fairfax County have long planned and rehearsed for responding to such an event. It appears that they are doing a good job of it.

Overall, the consequence management effort has been done very well.

I linked to that too, did you catch this bit?

Why should anyone really worry about being carted off to die in a prison camp?

This is the country we've made. This is the country where our idiocy has finally won out. Take responsibility for your idiocy and laziness and die for your country like a good American sheep.

That's the lesson everyone needs to learn. Your laziness and idiocy will be rewarded. Thinking will be punished. Believing in truth will be punished. Being an American Citizen, will be punished. Being a docile sheep, world citizen, will reward you. I don't care if Bush siezes power of the country or this world. BECAUSE NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. NOBODY WILL DO ANYTHING. THERE WILL BE NO REVOLT BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE TOO FUCKING SPINELESS AND STUPID TO STAND UP FOR ANYTHING.

Better to just wait this crap out. After all, who are you going to get to replace El-presidente? Cheney? Rove? Hillary? Gore? Rice? Chertoff??? COME ON...

Nobody will do anything because assuming the role of leader of this country isn't for anyone born with a pure heart. In fact, for as long as I can remember the choices we've had, have been between a shitbag and a turd sandwich. EVERY GODDAMNED ELECTION, has been the choice between the lesser of two evils. Better vote for the devil you know, instead of the devil you don't.

To think people are indignant, or surprised at what has become of this country is an absolute insult to my intelligence. The people who voted for either mainstream party for the last 80+ years have contributed to the corruption, and treason that has gone on in this country. WHAT THE HELL DID YOU PEOPLE EXPECT WOULD HAPPEN???

I cannot wait for the day when people start getting carted off. That's when the real final solution to idiocy will occur, because it will be these unsuspecting delusional retards who thought that their votes counted, or that there was still time to turn things around who will get carted off. Meanwhile a cynic like me will still live because I'll play the game until I'm dead. I pose no threat to anyone because my rants are crazy in the eyes of the powers that be. They will inspire no-one because I alienate so many people with the way I address this shit.

You people out there who still believe that you have a republic are a bunch of morons. You people who believe that your vote counts for a fucking thing, are a bunch of morons. You people who believe that someone will ever put a stop to the evil and corruption of government, are deluded morons. The best thing you can hope for in this pathetic world is to never fall under the scrutiny of the government or the IRS. There will be no end to tyranny, to evil, to oppression so long as human beings control the world.

The spectacle of the beautiful people, who get paid exorbitant amounts of money to pretend they're other people, is absolutely sickening to me. It ranks right up there with people who play football, or baseball getting millions of dollars for a sport that I play on a weekend just goofing around. It's all about the bread and circuses my friend. The illusion of freedom.

I thank God every day that I have a brain, and eyes to see. It's too bad I'm not reaping the rewards due to me from this insight. Then again... I'm not a corrupt bastard using people.
