it would be funny to watch them try this. I think some people here seriously underestimate the public.

lalalalaaaaaaaa

Not cool with all that, but nothing some piece of paper says is gonna really matter if a serious economic crisis hit the U.S. No law can control large groups of civilians if they're really pissed off.

People need to think about this stuff.

Powers Assigned To The President & National Security Council.

"Executive Order Number 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 grant 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."

EO 10990: "allows the government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports." [9]
EO 10995: Federal seizure of all communications media in the US.
EO 10997: Federal seizure of all electric power, fuels, minerals, public and private.
EO 10998: Federal seizure of all food supplies and resources, public and private and all farms and equipment.
EO 10999: Federal seizure of all means of transportation, including cars, trucks, or vehicles of any kind and total control over all highways, seaports and water ways.
EO 11000: Federal seizure of American people for work forces under federal supervision, including the splitting up of families if the government so desires.
EO 11001: Federal seizure of all health, education and welfare facilities, both public and private.
EO 11002: Empowers the Postmaster General to register every single person in the US.
EO 11003: Federal seizure of all airports and aircraft.
EO 11004: Federal seizure of all housing and finances and authority to establish forced relocation. Authority to designate areas to be abandoned as 'unsafe,' establish new locations for populations, relocate communities, build new housing with public funds.
EO 11005: Seizure of all railroads, inland waterways and storage facilities, both public and private.
EO 11051: Provides FEMA complete authorization to put above orders into effect in times of increased international tension of economic or financial crisis (FEMA will be in control incase of 'National Emergency').
EO 12919 "Apparently Allows Cabinet Heads to Make Direct Loans to Government Contractors." [10]

Are you cool with all that?

I don't know how JFK had it set up, but I assume it was decided through some sort of "democratic" committee involving form legislative staff. Bush took ALL of it and reassigned it to the EXECUTIVE in SOLE.

Are you happy? Do you have any joy in your life?

Why does questioning the "wisdom" or "good intent" of my government automaticaly put im in to the "miserable fuck" category?

Maybe i derive some enjoyment from having a curious mind.

Ever think about that?

Are you happy with your head in the sand,
believing the the sun will always shine, and the roses will always bloom, and that your government loves you unconditionaly?

I'm sooooo sorry if it makes me a miserable fuck to question why the president would need the direct and unmitigated authority to control EVERY resource in the country, including my bank account, house, and family.

:rolleyes:
