The media are now saying President Bush doesn’t have enough power to conduct the war on terrorism as it should be done. How much more power does he need? Consider the following list of Executive Orders that Bush signed into law on September 14, 2001 (most had been used by former presidents, from JFK onward, for a short while). Each Executive Order (number) “allows the government to:”
(10990) .. take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports
(10995) .. seize and control the communication media
(10997) .. take over all electrical, power, gas, petroleum, fuels, and
minerals
(10998) .. take over all food resources and farms
(11000) .. mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision
(11001) .. take over all health, education, and welfare functions (11002) .. designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons
(11003) .. take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft
(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. (11005) .. allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways, and public storage facilities
(11310) .. grants control to operate penal and correctional institutions
(11921) .. gives the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency control over the mechanism of production and distribution, of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit, and the flow of money in U.S. financial instructions.
Nothing at all happened after Pearl Harbor, until a full Congress voted formally to declare War on the Axis. The President had far less power, even at the height of World War II. Presidents back then had to get what they wanted by persuasion and leadership, not with the stroke of a ball point pen in a secret room buried deeper under the surface than Hitler’s den.
Accepting the fact that none of these Executive Orders have been revoked (it just takes signing another Executive Order), I now ask you what the government hopes to accomplish with the new Department of Homeland Security? The President already has dictatorial power. Now he seeks – with the aid of Congress – to create what can only be called a Gestapo, with the authority to spy upon every American. I’d trust the President with that kind of power – except that its quite well documented, that Bush is a Nazi. The Bush family got their fortune from investing in Nazi Germany during the 1930’s. They sent all their money to Germany when America was in the middle of the Great Depression. Now they’re tantamount to royalty?
Kind of makes the Kennedys, who made their fortune on bootlegging whisky during the same time, look kind of cuddly, doesn’t it? Of course, along with John Kerry, they are all members of that infamous secret society at Yale called the Skull and Bones, those being the most favorite symbols of the Nazi SS.
