It always cracks me up that people have time to worry about things that will never affect them. I learned my lesson in the 1960's, I guess each generation has to learn for themselves.

Sure, it's stupid and NWOish but trust me, there's much MUCH worse things being put into action behind the scenes.
Like Monica Lewinski.

Executive Order 11005
Executive Order 10997
Executive Order 11000
^that one's particularly great because it authorizes the government to break civilians into work brigades, without their consent.
USA: Military Commissions Act of 2006 - Turning bad policy into bad law - Amnesty International


Homeland Security Presidential Directive / HSPD-7

Now let's focus on this last one here, NSPD/HSPD-7
Some fun snips:
Quote:
(7) It is the policy of the United States to enhance the protection of our Nation's critical infrastructure and key resources against terrorist acts that could:

(a) cause catastrophic health effects or mass casualties comparable to those from the use of a weapon of mass destruction;

(b) impair Federal departments and agencies' abilities to perform essential missions, or to ensure the public's health and safety;

(c) undermine State and local government capacities to maintain order and to deliver minimum essential public services;

(d) damage the private sector's capability to ensure the orderly functioning of the economy and delivery of essential services;

(e) have a negative effect on the economy through the cascading disruption of other critical infrastructure and key resources; or

(f) undermine the public's morale and confidence in our national economic and political institutions.
Basically what that last bit says to me is, "if you're making people feel uneasy or unsure about the stability of our government we can classify you as a terrorist."

In a nutshell what all of the links I've posted say is

The government can, in a time of "catastrophic emergency" assume control over all public media, modes of transportation, food supplies, gas and electric supplies. It can break civilians into work brigades and divide labor how it pleases. The president can assume control over all 3 branches of government. The military can go over the courts and imprison you if they suspect you of being a "terrorist" and a terrorist is anyone who disagrees with the government.

Enjoy =)

Stuff like this has been going on long before the bush admin, try Nixon, or Ike, or even Roosevelt (FDR) for that matter.

sources for this pile of sh*t?

right, there arent any, because it's "not known to the American public" but somehow some random on an internet forum finds out about it ahead of congress. better call CNN before someone else takes credit for it.

seriously people you believe this?

If you look in the National Archives several of those have been revoked.

Who's going to take the time to make those up?

But yeah, 11000 claims to have been written by JFK, can't blame Bush for that one. Same thing for 10997 and 11005, the other two are during the Bush administration. So yeah, in case of catastrophic emergency, we turn in to 1984 .
