Bush / Cheney to Attempt Possible Coup
Bush signs unconstitutional "power grab" presidential directives NSPD51 and HSPD20, giving him full-dictatorial powers in the event of a loosely defined "catastrophic emergency."
The directives define "catastrophic emergency" as "any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government function."
It also states, "The President shall lead the activities of the Federal Government for ensuring constitutional government." In other words, the president gave himself the sole power and duty to interpret the constitution anyway he chooses, and neither Congress nor the public shall be allowed to debate or disagree on such matters.
Right now, the only thing standing between the United States' Constitutional Republic and Bush/Cheney's apparent desire to rule with an iron fist is a lesser event than that of 9/11.
President Bush, without so much as issuing a press statement, on May 9 signed a directive that granted near dictatorial powers to the office of the president in the event of a national emergency declared by the president.
The "National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive," with the dual designation of NSPD-51, as a National Security Presidential Directive, and HSPD-20, as a Homeland Security Presidential Directive, establishes under the office of president a new National Continuity Coordinator.
Translated into layman's terms, when the President determines a national emergency has occurred, the President can declare to the office of the presidency powers usually assumed by dictators to direct any and all government and business activities until the emergency is declared over.
NSPD-51/ HSPD-20 also makes no reference whatsoever to Congress. The language of the May 9 directive appears to negate any a requirement that the President submit to Congress a determination that a national emergency exists, suggesting instead that the powers of the executive order can be implemented without any congressional approval or oversight.
Homeland Security spokesperson Russ Knocke affirmed that the Homeland Security Department will be implementing the requirements of NSPD-51/HSPD-20 under Townsend's direction.
The White House had no comment.
While no one was looking Bush appoints himself DICTATOR
Amtrak will move 90 employees from its Beech Grove heavy maintenance facility by Aug. 1 to Amtrak shops in Chicago and Wilmington, Del.
The cost-cutting consolidation would reduce employment in the suburban Indianapolis rail center to 475, Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari said.
Today, Amtrak workers intend to rally Downtown in protest of the move, at the state Capitol building. U.S. Rep. Andre Carson issued a statement saying he and Sen. Evan Bayh have asked Amtrak to reconsider the move.
Magliari said rail service officials have seen the request but have not responded yet.
Beech Grove traces its origin to the construction of the heavy maintenance shop, which was opened in 1908 by the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway, also known as the Big Four.
