Wonder how many people know we haven't left a state of 'National
Emergency' in over 40 years? I will type up a small portion of a book I
picked up a while back. Even if only 10% of this is true, there are bigger
concerns out there....


Quoted from the book _Black Helicopters over America_, chapter 4, page 97.

National Emergency By Whose Definition?

   The "Special Committee on the Termination of the National Emergency" in
1973 provided two studies to Congress detailing this "continuing
emergency." They stated that, "...the people of the U.S. have lived all of
their lives under emergency rule. For 40 years, freedoms and governmental
procedures guaranteed by the Constitution have been abridged by laws
brought into force by states of national emergency."
   Senator Church of Idaho commented on this incredible state of affairs,
saying that, "...since 1933 it has been Congress' habit to delegate
extensive emergency authority and not to set a terminating date.
Consequently, the U.S. now has on the books at least 470 significant
emergency powers statues without time limitations. These statutes delegate
to the President extensive discretionary powers... which affect the lives
of American citizens in a host of all-encompassing ways. This vast range
of powers, taken together, confer enough authority to rule this country
without reference to normal constitutional processes. These emergency
powers statues are invoked by a Presidential declaration of a state of
national emergency. The U.S. has been in such a state of declared national
emergency since March 9, 1933. In addition to the national emergency
declared by Roosevelt, there is also the national emergency proclaimed by
Truman on December 16, 1950, plus Nixon's declarations on Marh 23, 1970
and August 15, 1971."

...

   What must be made clear is that Executive Orders and Presidential
Directives are scrawled by Presidents of the United States without benefit
of review of the people or Congress. This allows Presidents to unlawfully
delegate to themselves powers which the Constitution rightfully denies, on
the pretext that there is an "emergency" taking place which they need to
respond to. Here are examples of some of the Executive Orders which are
currently in place, and which the President can employ any time an event
takes place which can be characterized as a national emergency (and the
definition of what constitutes an emergency is purposefully and absolutely
vague):

   -EO 10995, authorizing the suspension of the freedom of speech and the
commandeering of all communication media.

   -EO 10997, authorizing the takeover of electrical systems and other
fuel sources.

   -EO 10998, providing for the government control of food sources,
including farms.

   -EO 10999, which authorizes the control or confiscation of the nation's
transportation sources, public and private

   -EO 11000, which gives the government the right to form work brigades
of citizens.

   -EO 11001, providing for the takeover of all health, education, and
welfare functions and facilities

   -EO 11002, authorizing a national registering of the populace.

   -EO 11003, authorizing the takeover of all airplanes and airports.

   -EO 11004, which gives government the mandate to relocate populations
from one area to another.

   -EO 11005, which provides for the government to take over railways,
waterways, and public storage facilities.

   -EO 12148, authorizing the Federal Emergency Management Agency to take
over the executive functions of the government


   With the above Executive Orders ready to be activated virtually at a
whim, there are no longer any barriers to a total dictatorship in the
United States - except, perhaps, that small percentage of the populace who
are informed, and an armed populace who know a police state when they see
one. But don't wait for Ted Koppel to clue you in about any of this on his
nightly report.
