The Scary Stuff
This is an issue that is very important to me, I am very passionate about changing the path that america has been on for several years now, and one of the best ways to help change that path is by helping to inform people i care about with what i find…the following information is not some hooplah that i found in an email forward…this is information I have compiled with a few other people over the course of several months. I have dedicated over 200 hours of research into this and I have credible sources for all of my information…Any of the executive orders below can be looked up as public record. here is one site you can do that at: http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/executive_orders.php now on this website you can search any executive order ever in history, you can search by year and executive orders are numbered in orer the ones below are sporadic and not all were signed by bush, bush however did change some of the laws that affected the original EO’s
I know this is long, and a lot of information, if you skim through it the first time please go back and read it through
FEMA has been given responsibility for disaster relief, including urban forest fires, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornado’s, refugee situations, urban riots, and emergency planning for nuclear and toxic incidents.
FEMA was created in a series of Executive Orders. A Presidential Executive order, whether constitutional or not, becomes law simply by its publication in the federal Registry. Congress is bypassed
FEMA has only spent about 6 percent of its budget on national emergencies. The bulk of the funding has been used for construction of underground facilities to assure continuity of government in case of a major emergency – foriegn or domestic.
FEMA has been given control of the state defense forces, A civilian army that will substitute for the National Guard in the event of a declared emergency, if the GUard is called to duty overseas.
Executive orders and bills passed by congress associated with FEMA or the Federal GOvernment that suspend the constitution:
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 US citizens and would restrict the freedom of movement within the US and grant the government the right to isolate large groups of civilians.
Executive order #11003: Allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft including commercial aircraft.
Executive order #11005 Allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways and storage facilities, public and private.
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 governement to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels and minerals, Public and private.
Executive order #10998 Allows the government to take over all food supplies and resources, public and private, including farms and equipment
Executive order # 11921: Allows the government to control the mechanisms of production and distribution of energy sources, and the flow of money in US financial institutions in any undefined National Emergency. Also provides that when a state of emergency is declared by the President, Congress cannot review the declaration for a period of six months
Executive order #11051: Grants authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis
Executive order #11000: Authorizes the government to mobilize American civilians into work brigades under government supervision.
THE PATRIOT ACT:
Third party holders of your financial, library, travel, video rental, phone, medical, church, synagogue, and mosque records can be searched without your knowledge or consent.
Allows Law Enforcement to conduct warrantless searches of your records, place of residence and confiscate your personal property without your knowledge or consent.
THE DOMESTIC SECURITY ENHANCEMENT ACT OF 2003:
Instructs government to build a mammoth database of citizen DNA information, aimed at detecting, investigating, prosecuting, preventing or responding to terrorist activities.
THE MILITARY COMMISSIONS ACT:
Strips the courts of jurisdiction to hear or consider habeas corpus appeals of anyone held in US custody as an “unlawful enemy combatant”
Defines an “unlawful enemy combatant” as any individual engaged in hostilities against the united states who is not a lawful enemy combatant”
The definition of “hostilities” is broad enough to include any american citizen who is acting in a way the president deems hostil to the US
Prohibits any person from invoking the Geneva conventions or their protocols as a source of rights in any action in any US court
NATIONAL SECURITY PRESIDENTIAL DIRECTIVE 51 AND HOMELAND SECURITY PRESIDENTIAL DIRECTIVE 20
(SIGNED BY BUSH MAY, 2007)
the secretary of homeland security shall serve as the presidents lead agent for coordinating overall continuity operations and activities of executive departments and agencies
Allows the president to control and coordinate all 3 branches of government in the event of a catastrophic emergency”
(catastrophic emergency is defined as any incident that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties damage, or disruption severly affecting the US poplation, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions.)
ANNEX A AND section 24;security : CLASSIFIED
KELLOG BROWN and Root recently was awarded a 385 million dollar open ended contract by the department of Homeland security which provides for establishing temporary detention facilities and “processing areas” on american soil
the Real ID:
President Bush is expected to sign an $82 billion military spending bill soon that will, in part, create electronically readable, federally approved ID cards for Americans. The House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved the package–which includes the Real ID Act
Starting three years from now, if you live or work in the United States, you’ll need a federally approved ID card to travel on an airplane, open a bank account, collect Social Security payments, or take advantage of nearly any government service. Practically speaking, your driver’s license likely will have to be reissued to meet federal standards.
The Real ID Act hands the Department of Homeland Security the power to set these standards and determine whether state drivers’ licenses and other ID cards pass muster. Only ID cards approved by Homeland Security can be accepted “for any official purpose” by the feds.
You’ll still get one through your state motor vehicle agency, and it will likely take the place of your drivers’ license. But the identification process will be more rigorous.
For instance, you’ll need to bring a “photo identity document,” document your birth date and address, and show that your Social Security number is what you had claimed it to be. U.S. citizens will have to prove that status, and foreigners will have to show a valid visa.
State DMVs will have to verify that these identity documents are legitimate, digitize them and store them permanently. In addition, Social Security numbers must be verified with the Social Security Administration.
What’s going to be stored on this ID card?
At a minimum: name, birth date, sex, ID number, a digital photograph, address, and a “common machine-readable technology” that Homeland Security will decide on. The card must also sport “physical security features designed to prevent tampering, counterfeiting, or duplication of the document for fraudulent purposes.”
Homeland Security is permitted to add additional requirements–such as a fingerprint or retinal scan–on top of those. We won’t know for a while what these additional requirements will be.
Why did these ID requirements get attached to an “emergency” military spending bill?
Because it’s difficult for politicians to vote against money that will go to the troops in Iraq and tsunami relief. The funds cover ammunition, weapons, tracked combat vehicles, aircraft, troop housing, death benefits, and so on.
The House already approved a standalone version of the Real ID Act in February, but by a relatively close margin of 261-161. It was expected to run into some trouble in the Senate. Now that it’s part of an Iraq spending bill, senators won’t want to vote against it.
What’s the justification for this legislation anyway?
Its supporters say that the Real ID Act is necessary to hinder terrorists, and to follow the ID card recommendations that the 9/11 Commission made last year.
It will “hamper the ability of terrorist and criminal aliens to move freely throughout our society by requiring that all states require proof of lawful presence in the U.S. for their drivers’ licenses to be accepted as identification for federal purposes such as boarding a commercial airplane, entering a federal building, or a nuclear power plant,” Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner, a Wisconsin Republican, said during the debate Thursday.
You said the ID card will be electronically readable. What does that mean?
The Real ID Act says federally accepted ID cards must be “machine readable,” and lets Homeland Security determine the details. That could end up being a magnetic strip, enhanced bar code, or radio frequency identification (RFID) chips.
In the past, Homeland Security has indicated it likes the concept of RFID chips. The State Department is already going to be embedding RFID devices in passports, and Homeland Security wants to issue RFID-outfitted IDs to foreign visitors who enter the country at the Mexican and Canadian borders. The agency plans to start a yearlong test of the technology in July at checkpoints in Arizona, New York and Washington state.
Will state DMVs share this information?
Yes. In exchange for federal cash, states must agree to link up their databases. Specifically, the Real ID Act says it hopes to “provide electronic access by a state to information contained in the motor vehicle databases of all other states.”
Is this legislation a done deal?
Pretty much. The House of Representatives approved the package on Thursday by a vote of 368-58. Only three of the “nay” votes were Republicans; the rest were Democrats. The Senate is scheduled to vote on it next week and is expected to approve it as well.
White House spokesman Scott McClellan has told reporters “the president supports” the standalone Real ID Act, and the Bush administration has come out with an official endorsement. As far back as July 2002, the Bush administration has been talking about assisting “the states in crafting solutions to curtail the future abuse of drivers’ licenses by terrorist organizations.”
Who were the three Republicans who voted against it?
Reps. Howard Coble of North Carolina, John Duncan of Tennessee, and Ron Paul of Texas.
Paul has warned that the Real ID Act “establishes a national ID card” and “gives authority to the Secretary of Homeland Security to unilaterally add requirements as he sees fit.”
Is this a national ID card?
It depends on whom you ask. Barry Steinhardt, director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s technology and liberty program, says: “It’s going to result in everyone, from the 7-Eleven store to the bank and airlines, demanding to see the ID card. They’re going to scan it in. They’re going to have all the data on it from the front of the card…It’s going to be not just a national ID card but a national database.”
At the moment, state driver’s licenses aren’t easy for bars, banks, airlines and so on to swipe through card readers because they’re not uniform; some may have barcodes but no magnetic stripes, for instance, and some may lack both. Steinhardt predicts the federalized IDs will be a gold mine for government agencies and marketers. Also, he notes that the Supreme Court ruled last year that police can demand to see ID from law-abiding U.S. citizens.
Will it be challenged in court?
Maybe. “We’re exploring whether there are any litigation possibilities here,” says the ACLU’s Steinhardt.
One possible legal argument would challenge any requirement for a photograph on the ID card as a violation of religious freedom. A second would argue that the legislation imposes costs on states without properly reimbursing them.
When does it take effect?
in May 2008.
The North American Union:
if you are interested in the immigration issue this is important!!!
The Independent Task Force on North America was a project organized by the Council on Foreign Relations (U.S.), the Canadian Council of Chief Executives, and the Mexican Council on Foreign Relations. It was chaired by former Canadian politician John Manley and advocates a greater economic and social integration between Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
It was launched in October 2004 and published two documents: Trinational Call for a North American Economic and Security Community by 2010 (March 2005) and its final report Building a North American Community[1] (May 2005).
The final report proposed increased international cooperation between the nations of Canada, the United States, and Mexico, similar in some respects to that of the European Union.
Some Internet sources claim that this report, despite its own language rejecting a political union, would create a North American Union, which would link the three North American countries into a political union in the model of the European Union.[citation needed] Some envision this new North American Union as having its own currency known as the amero, which would replace the Mexican peso, U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar
In recent times, the three North American nation-states have increased their economic ties, further accelerating the process with the signing of 1994’s North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
In response to the demands of increasing globalization and shared concerns from abroad, such as the increasing clout of other economic spheres such as the European Union and China, the leaders of the three nations agreed in 2005 to work more cooperatively on shared North American concerns. To this end, they agreed to establish the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America
The North American Union would currently (as of 2007) have a total population of around 440,000,000 citizens. For comparison, the European Union currently (as of 2007) has an estimated population of 493,000,000.
The NAU population would be divided among the three constituent nations as follows:
North American Population By Country Country Population
USA 300,050,259
Mexico 107,449,525
Canada 33,098,932

section 2:
Ron Paul Info
several months ago the ron paul campaign started seeing supporters pop up in random places all over the world and rapidly reproducing everywhere… the growth has blown a lot of people out of the water and no other candidate has the grassroots support that ron paul has.
barack obama has 5,899 members on meetup, in 52 cities, and in 3 countries… looks different from the TV polls huh? 
at technorati.com a popular search engine says ron paul has been number one on their site more times than star wars, britney spears, and iphone combined
was the very first presidential candidate ever on the colbert report and was also featured on The Daily show and G4’s attack of the show.
CNN.com candidate scoreboard after the debates showed RP clear winner with 60% of the votes
msnbc site reported between 50-70% votes as the winner (this poll did not allow voting more than once per IP address so could not have been spamming unless people had more than one computer
Of all the videos of talks at Google to date, Ron Paul’s is by far the most popular – after being on the net for only a week days!. The next closest is Hillary’s talk, after being up for over four months, followed by John McCain (two months). That, ladies and gentlemen is wide appeal.
http://www.dailypaul.com/node/764
ron paul has won all but one debate (there have been 6) in the text and internet polls afterwards on CNN and FOX news.
there have been 27 “straw polls” these are the first elections that have any relevance in the elections. they show where the candidates stand in each state in the beginning, some of them cost a bit to get in and vote some cost none. some of them are no big deal and others like Iowa are extremely important and a lot of money is spent on this event.
hes came in 2nd 5 times. and hes never come in worse than 6 and there are 10-11 candidates possible to vote depending on the straw poll.
he has won several really important ones as well.
these mean nothing to the average joe but in politics they mean a lot.
oh one last thing. this sunday is the last day for each candidate to report how much money has been donated to them this quarter. ron paul asked supporters last week to give him a 500,000 dollar boost before the end of sunday. the donations hit the 500,000 dollar mark on wednesday. it started monday. 3 days into it they hit their goal. at 10 o clock tonight we hiT 1 MILLION DOLLARS. YES 1 MILLION DOLLARS. we have almost 19 hours left too. obviously ron paul is way more popular than the media would make him out to be. hmm i think thats because the message of freedom is popular
(sorry this pic was too funny to resist that caption)
