Executive Tyranny

 

Jonathan Metcalfe

 

 

 

" Today Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles

to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful. This is especially

true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond,

whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is

then that all peoples of the world will plead with world leaders to

deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the

unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be

willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted

to them by their world government. "

 

Henry Kissinger speaking at Evian, France, May 21, 1992 Bilderbergers

meeting. Unbeknownst to Kissinger, his speech was taped by a Swiss

delegate to the meeting

 

 

With the unearthing of old and newly improved executive orders

recently we come to realise that this has been an ideological strategy

that was designed long before the present U.S. administration. We are

seeing the death throes of the US constitution and any semblance of

democracy that may have initially existed with the founding fathers.

It seems inevitable that the U.S. will become the epitome of a

totalitarian rule with a further mandate to build on its already

established cultural " McDonaldization " and geopolitical destruction of

the planet. The above words from Kissinger giving a speech at the 1992

Bilderberg meeting in Evian, France, was recorded by a Swiss delegate,

no doubt much to the chagrin of this " elder statesman " , who was

unaware of the taping. The barely disguised contempt for humanity is

only too familiar within the ranks of the " Elite " , and this man is

particularly active at the moment. No doubt he is seeing the

beginnings of a Faustian pay-off for services rendered. I dread to

think what misanthropic propaganda he is peddling behind the closed

doors of conferences and special " interest groups " in 2003.

 

The Bush Reich has recently maneuvered another propagandist into the

frontline in the guise of General Tommy Franks who gave an interview

for the magazine Cigar Aficionado a couple of weeks ago. It stated

that the General was " …the first high-ranking official to openly

speculate that the Constitution could be scrapped in favor of a

military form of government. " Well now isn't't that handy coming hot

on the heels of executive orders and the recent expansion of the

PATRIOT Act? Tough talking Tommy goes on to say:

 

" the worst thing that could happen " is if terrorists acquire and then

use a biological, chemical or nuclear weapon that inflicts heavy

casualties. If that happens, Franks said, " ... the Western world, the

free world, loses what it cherishes most, and that is freedom and

liberty we've seen for a couple of hundred years in this grand

experiment that we call democracy. "

 

Franks then offered " in a practical sense " what he thinks would happen

in the aftermath of such an attack.

 

" It means the potential of a weapon of mass destruction and a

terrorist, massive, casualty-producing event somewhere in the Western

world – it may be in the United States of America – that causes our

population to question our own Constitution and to begin to militarize

our country in order to avoid a repeat of another mass,

casualty-producing event. Which in fact, then begins to unravel the

fabric of our Constitution. Two steps, very, very important. "

 

Why of course! Questioning the constitution leads to militarizing the

country – a natural step, right? It isn't too difficult to see that

Franks has, in all likelihood, the same agenda as Bush and the

neo-conservative/fascist clan that surrounds him. He knows that the

lab-rat population have been manipulated to give the required response

and he is dutifully playing his part in drawing out that response. By

seeding certain thoughts within the minds of those who are susceptible

to such ideas of " America under attack " and defending the largely

false myths of American liberalism he plays his part in the propaganda

machine. Images of Pearl Harbour and the unknown soldier, keeping the

star spangled banner aloft against terrible odds are persistently

evoked in order to keep a patriotic fervour well and truly in the

foreground. Notice too his supreme arrogance in that he manages to

include the whole " Western world, the free world… " as though all

nations are standing shoulder to shoulder with America who has

naturally defined the very idea of democracy. Too bad it never

existed. Such a subjective view of world opinion from a high-ranking

general is disturbing, but not unsurprising.

 

Just as the manufacture of 9/11 was executed on time and on schedule

so too will the next " terrorist " attack following on from the

fattening of the calf that is the American people. No doubt this is

EXACTLY what the shadow government has in mind and, just like any

psychopaths worth their salt, they cannot resist giving out subtle

hints as to how clever and powerful they are. He gives explicit clues

as to the location of the attack and justifies and prepares in the

minds of the population what they must sacrifice in order to protect

the country from further terrorism. Namely, the constitution for a

military dictatorship. He is clearly rather excited over the prospect

of power should such a national emergency arise, though suitably

dressing up such a constitutional disaster with a token layer of

concern. It is as though Franks has been given a script and he is

having a delightful time running through his lines. He manages to

mention the key phrase: " massive casualty producing event " twice in

the same sentence just to drive his point through. For Franks,

democracy is no more than an " experiment " which will inevitably be

done away with. And no bad thing according to this General.

 

Frank's cynical propaganda follows a familiar pattern, yet this clumsy

speculation does not come without a reason, especially when we

consider what is revealed in his sycophantic appraisal of the

President's character. They are obviously batting for the same

ideological team. It certainly gives us a clue to why he has been

wheeled in at this juncture, almost parallel with the bombing of the

HSBC building in Istanbul:

 

" I think he will ultimately be judged as a man of extremely high

character. A very thoughtful man, not having been appraised properly

by those who would say he's not very smart. I find the contrary. I

think he's very, very bright. And I suspect that he'll be judged as a

man who led this country through a crease in history effectively.

Probably we'll think of him in years to come as an American hero. " [1]

 

This evaluation alone, is enough to hold anything General Tommy Franks

has to say with the utmost caution. Not only do we know that Bush is

of extremely low character, of equally low intelligence and that he is

very likely a psychopath, but that he has - probably more than any

other President - been responsible for utterly destroying the flimsy

fabric of American society. By design. By aligning himself so

ingratiatingly with such a criminal, it is clear that Franks has been

promised a big slice of the pie and a role in the New World Order. His

words are so devoid of any humanity, knowledge and basic understanding

of the reasons for this " crease " in history, that we come to the

realisation that this definition of " heroism " can be nothing more than

the predator looking for power at any cost. Purple heart or not. This

general sees a chance to " serve " his country while it swallows up the

rest of the world. It matters little the cause, only the effects.

 

Here we have a nation that has and will invade other countries in

order to bomb and kill thousands of civilians to further its despotic

aims under a pretext of " preemptive strikes " that is deeply insulting

to anyone with half a neuron of humanity. These are dangerous

psychopaths at the helm of a country that has reduced it's populace to

some of the most mind controlled people on this earth, where

successive executive orders most particularly during the Nixon,

Carter, Reagan and Clinton administrations have brought us to a very

dangerous stage indeed. And following the crimes of the PATRIOT Act,

the recently passed obscenity that is PATRIOT Act II, and the Home

Security Act, we find the following executive orders in the Federal

Register which are passed without a whiff of red tape. And should a

National emergency suddenly materialize then an executive tyranny will

replace all notions of just governing. Most importantly, prior

congressional approval is not needed for such directives - they are

instantly effective once the National Emergency is declared:

 

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10990 allows the government to take over all modes of

transportation and control of highways and seaports.

 

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10995 allows the government to seize and control the

communication media.

 

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10997 allows the government to take over all

electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels and minerals.

 

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10998 allows the government to take over all food

resources and farms.

 

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11000 allows the government to mobilize civilians into

work brigades under government supervision.

 

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11001 allows the government to take over all health,

education and welfare functions.

 

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11002 designates the Postmaster General to operate a

national registration of all persons.

 

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11003 allows the government to take over all airports

and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.

 

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11004 allows the Housing and Finance Authority to

relocate communities, build new housing with public funds, designate

areas to be abandoned, and establish new locations for populations.

 

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11005 allows the government to take over railroads,

inland waterways and public storage facilities.

 

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11051 specifies the responsibility of the Office of

Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders

into effect in times of increased international tensions and economic

or financial crisis.

 

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11310 grants authority to the Department of Justice to

enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute industrial

support, to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all

aliens, to operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise

and assist the President.

 

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11049 assigns emergency preparedness function to

federal departments and agencies, consolidating 21 operative Executive

Orders issued over a fifteen year period.

 

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11921 allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency

to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of

production and distribution, of energy sources, wages, salaries,

credit and the flow of money in U.S. financial institution in any

undefined national emergency. It also provides that when a state of

emergency is declared by the President, Congress cannot review the

action for six months.

 

EXECUTIVE ORDER 12148 created the Federal Emergency Management Agency

(FEMA) that is to interface with the Department of Defense for civil

defense planning and funding. An " emergency czar " was appointed. FEMA

has only spent about 6 percent of its budget on national emergencies,

the bulk of their funding has been used for the construction of secret

underground facilities to assure continuity of government in case of a

major emergency, foreign or domestic.

 

EXECUTIVE ORDER 12656 appointed the National Security Council as the

principal body that should consider emergency powers. This allows the

government to increase domestic intelligence and surveillance of U.S.

citizens and would restrict the freedom of movement within the United

States and granted the government the right to isolate large groups of

civilians. The National Guard could be federalized to seal all borders

and take control of U.S. air space and all ports of entry. Many of the

figures in the Iran-Contra scandal were part of this emergency

contingent, including Marine Colonel Oliver North. [2]

 

Let's not forget a selection of long forgotten acts that are now being

homogenized into the above executive orders:

 

National Security Act of 1947

 

Allows for the strategic relocation of industries, services,

government and other essential economic activities, and to rationalize

the requirements for manpower, resources and production facilities.

 

1950 Defense Production Act

 

Gives the President total control over all aspects of the economy.

 

International Emergency Economic Powers Act

 

Property of a national or foreign country can be seized by the

President. These powers were transferred to FEMA during the Carter

administration and the unearthing of further executive orders in 1979.

 

The Violent Crime Control Act 1991

 

Provides additional powers to the President allowing the suspension of

the Constitution and Constitutional rights of Americans during a " drug

crisis " . It provides for the construction of detention camps, seizure

of property, and military control of populated areas.

 

The body responsible for enforcing these orders is the Federal

Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) which has long been recognized as

being a whole lot more than just an administrative agency during times

of environmental disaster or national emergency. In fact, it has the

most extraordinary capabilities that would leave any dictator beaming

with anticipation. The true nature of FEMA has been nurtured for its

role in overseeing the coming police state by branches of a Shadow

Government that has been working steadily behind the scenes in

conjunction with the military to ensure that an appropriate national

emergency can be engineered as part of the Plan for a New World Order.

These branches include: Council on Foreign Relations, Tri-lateral

Commission The Bilderberg Group, National Security Council, Joint

Chiefs of Staff and the National Program Office, all of which have an

interesting history of deception and Machiavellian maneuverings. FEMA

is a hermetically sealed symbol of totalitarian muscle, answering only

to the National Security council, which in turn answers only to the

President.

 

One thing that George IS able to do is scrawl his signature (with a

steadying hand supplied by Attorney General Ashcroft), this is all

that is needed for these orders to take effect. Not only are they

immediately enforceable but they cannot be restricted or altered by

any department or individual - not even congress. If we follow the

line of reasoning from Franks, are we to expect a " terrorist attack "

on Congress? What a perfect solution to those pesky individuals who

would oppose a " Seven Days in May " scenario. Striking at the heart of

a perceived democracy would put paid to any ideological resistance at

home, and to a certain degree, abroad. Remarkably, there already

exists a commission to take over in the event of all or most of

congress somehow being unable to fulfill their civic duty. Ingenuously

named the " Continuity of Government Commission " they have this to say

on their main page:

 

" In the fall of 2002, the Continuity of Government Commission was

launched to study and make recommendations for the continuity of our

government institutions after a catastrophic attack. September 11th

raises the possibility that foreign enemies might seriously disrupt

the filling of vacancies in Congress, presidential succession, and

achieving a quorum for the Court so much so that our basic

institutions might not function in a normal constitutional manner. "

 

Do we find this a little paranoid? I mean, what are the chances? One

would suppose that, particularly in the aftermath of 9/11, the US

Congress and other major government buildings would be some of the

safest places on earth, yet the members of this commission are in fact

expecting and have planned for a successful attack. To understand the

reasons for this we must understand the minds and agenda of the people

behind it. The simple truth is that the " catastrophic event " that they

speak of is not something that they fear but rather something that

they seek to create at their earliest convenience.

 

The Neo Cons that presently inhabit the White house are extracting a

fascist doctrine from the constitution (which, incidentally, was only

ever meant to be a transitional document) whereby past executive

orders from 1939 -1991 are focused into order 12919 which invests FEMA

with astonishing powers. The ambiguity and vagueness of these orders

becomes increasingly disturbing in that they are able to extend their

meaning well into the outer reaches of what is deemed acceptable, then

push it still further according to events as they unfold. What we see

here is a consistent " layering " of the laws that produce an

impenetrable tangle of legislation that serves to reinforce protocols,

procedures, directives, and obscure acts into a solid wall of martial

law from whichever direction one approaches. So serious are the

infringements of liberty, it makes any notion of democracy and the

pathetic justification of " protection " seem hilarious. Unfortunately,

this is not a joke. It is a tragedy.

 

Recall executive order 11002. The end result of this directive means

that all persons can be rounded up and interned indefinitely under the

guise of relocation and " population control. " What do you think is

going to happen to those who oppose the Bush Administration and

Attorney General Ashcroft's reinvention of justice? Are you a threat

to America? Are you a terrorist? Are you an Arab? Do you smoke pot?

According to Ashcroft's and FEMA's say so and the " Presidential stroke

of a pen " - your life is theirs, with no recourse to ANY human rights

or due process of the law. Why?

 

Because much of it doesn't exist anymore.

 

Sensationalist? Sadly, no. We must understand that most of these

people are following their natures. They have no conscience. Their

role is to ride on the backs of those who are vulnerable,

dispossessed, mind-programmed and just plain ignorant. And let us not

forget that micro-chipping the population has already started, as well

as the preparation and use of concentration camps. If that is news to

you please begin to quicken your wrist action on the proverbial can.

Those worms are overflowing.

 

We know that the US government and military is having a jolly time

with suspected " Al-Qaeda terrorists " in the notorious US Marine Corps

Prison camp at Gauntanamo Bay by continually breaching the Geneva

convention, but how many of us realise this may be what is in store

for Americans who are deemed enemies of the state, on opinion alone?

Ashcroft will supply the warrant, FEMA the muscle, and Bush or the

next President will light a cigar while the rest of us burn. The

register has already begun and you can bet your devaluing dollar that

if you are a vocal opponent of the Bush Administration (or even a

silent one) and presently residing in the US – you will be noted as an

enemy of the people.

 

The number of camps in the US is estimated to be well over 800 with

full-time staff and round the clock guards. FEMA will be responsible

for the running of the camps when martial law becomes official.

Various historical reasons exist for the construction of these camps

including the threat of nuclear war during the cold war, population

control during social unrest, protection for the political elite,

detention centres for immigrants etc. They exist in 48 states (as well

as Hawaii) Guayanabo in Puerto Rico, a Federal prison camp facility.

All to protect us from the evils of the outside world; those same

evils that were created by much of American foreign policy in the last

50 years. The largest of these camps is near Fairbanks in Alaska which

can house up to 2 million people. Gives you some idea where FEMA's

house-keeping budget goes. But look on the bright side, when you find

yourself locked up in a wooden shack the middle of nowhere (or

Nebraska), finally you can say that the government has come good on

it's promise, and found a way to keep you safe from those scary

" terrorists " . See, they weren't lying after all, they were just

economical with the truth.

 

Back in the early eighties under the Hollywood politics of Ronald

Reagan, a top secret program known as Rex 84 was established with the

surface rationale of coping with a sudden influx of immigrants or

illegal aliens crossing the Mexican/US border, which could then pose a

threat to law and order. Euphemistically called a " readiness

exercise, " it was thought that appropriate measures must include the

herding of " undesirables " or rather, Central Americans living in the

US without documents. It was also parallel to operations taking place

in Central America at the time. The US army and the National Guard

would be deployed to engage in large scale " sweeps " across America

with the assigned the task of detaining almost 500,000 immigrants.

They would then find themselves herded into the aforementioned

detention centres operated by FEMA. Rex 84 allowed military bases to

be closed down and to be turned into prisons. This is one of a number

of occasions in which the escalating climate of US led internal or

international intimidation and coercion did not result in the

implementation of said exercises

 

However, REX 84 was held in high esteem by FEMA, where access to

information regarding details of the plan were under the highest

directives of secrecy. Lt. Col. Oliver North (of Iran-Contra scandal

fame) was responsible for the logistical and operational planning of

the program. Martial law was the natural result of such a program and

Ollie North was no doubt delighted to have been able to include the

bright idea of rounding up 21 million Black Americans…should the need

arise.

 

An article from the July Miami Herald in 1987 reported that John

Brinkerhoff, the former deputy to a Former director of FEMA dealt with

the implementation of Martial law within this national plan that

seemed to be new and improved. And where do you think Mr Brinkerhoff

is currently residing? Why, at the Anser Institute, a right-wing

think-tank for Homeland Security where he was gleefully asserting the

constitutional imperative to deploy US troops on the streets…should

the need arise. Well, who would have thought it?

 

9/11 has come and gone and already we have the newly occupied country

of Iraq where no links to terrorists or weapons of mass destruction

have been found. It doesn't matter to Bush and his military fawns. All

that was important was the pretext in order to ensure that the need

DID arise. Bush Jr. was consequently advised that it would be

pertinent to seal the details of Reagan's Presidential papers from

further prying eyes. It was obviously far too revealing in that it

would provide a " join the dots " scenario of the current crises.

 

What must also be mentioned is the fact that FEMA is responsible for

operating several top secret facilities most of which do not appear on

FEMA's official budgetary documents. Moreover, members of congress

have been denied access to these expenditures. It seems that FEMA's

budget is a bottomless pit into which huge amounts of money disappear

only to resurface in the guise of refurbished and redeveloped old

underground bases, the most famous of which can be found deep in

bedrock beneath Mount Weather near Berryville, Virginia. Of course, it

officially doesn't exist. This could explain the strange underground

vibrations and sounds that have been heard beneath many US cities over

the past few years. They seem to be preparing for something...

 

REX 84 seemed to be part of a much more wide-ranging ethos of control

during the Reagan Presidency. No surprise there, one only has to

remember how the leap from Hollywood to the Oval office was business

as usual for Ronnie. His " strings " were already untangled and

available for pulling. All the Shadow Government had to do was to keep

the scripts coming and keep those strings taut. As a consequence, much

of the ground-work for the present state of affairs comes primarily

from the Reagan era, with added help from Clinton who created further

gargantuan tears in the fabric of the constitution. It is also

interesting that many key personnel have found themselves back in

their cosy niches ready for the big show, having fulfilled their roles

some years before. This includes key seats in local elections, most

recently with " The Terminator " Arnold Schwarzenegger whose abhorrent

behaviour both onscreen and off was disturbingly prophetic of the

ethos of this administration. This fact alone, that we elect a man who

has made a living out of ultra-violent movies that propose pumping

several rounds of the latest hi-tec weaponry into all those perceived

as villains, should be enough to at least postpone such a vote of

confidence.

 

The more important issue of zero political experience wasn't deemed

worthy of ANY thought it seems. No doubt Arnie's on screen weapons

mirror perfectly the latest advanced weapon technology that is sold by

American and European companies throughout the world, and to the

highest bidder. No doubt innocent bystanders in Arnie's movies who get

mown down by his " heroism " are simply seen as " collateral damage. "

Much like the 10,000 civilians who died in the invasion of Iraq and

much like the thousands more that will die in the continuing

imperialist operations of the US military. America IS Hollywood and

dangerously so. As such, we can understand the predictably juvenile

comment of George Bush when quizzed about the rising resistance of

Iraqi attacks in Baghdad: " Bring `em on. " said the cowboy junkie. The

perception of such a man is very much in keeping with a " blow `em

away, " mentality and so too, much of the American populace. Executive

orders established by an executive branch of a shadow government are

no more than excuses to do what is in the minds of those whose nature

it is to feed, consume, maim and kill for prestige, glory and power.

Nothing more.

 

It is therefore imperative that people wake up to the fact that this

is not play-acting, it is not knee-jerk sensationalism. It is real.

The present administration are carrying out a long awaited

totalitarian agenda that has a rich history, where The Fourth Reich is

alive and kicking and FEMA are its storm troopers in waiting. Once a

National Emergency is declared and FEMA begins to goose step its way

through your front door, there will be no contingency by which

Constitutional power is restored. But hey, no need to worry right? The

Bush administration is doing all this because it loves America and

it's people? Well, this maybe true at certain levels of the

administration. After all, the Nazis believed they were serving God

and working in the interest of the " superior race " , yet as we know,

" Gods " like " superior races " come in many shapes and forms and reveal

themselves to those for whom power and self-interest is the driving

force, whatever your belief system.

 

For those that choose to deny and to scoff that such a thing is

happening in their beloved States, right inside their own back yard,

there will likely be an exceedingly small and brief window of

opportunity to look beyond that white picket fence before it is

replaced with something a little more durable, with less than pretty

watchtowers and less than fluffy guard dogs. The threat of terrorism

will be kept out only by tolerating the rapid disappearance of all

America's recognized freedoms. And once this has been fully

relinquished, the face of governmental salvation will be seen for what

it is: An executive tyranny…for the people, by the people.
