DICTATORSHIP POSSIBLE HERE
|
|
By Lawrence Wilmot and Martin Mann
|
|
Exclusive to The SPOTLIGHT
|
|
Washington, DC -- Hidden in the bureaucratic maze Washington politicians
|
|
call "our Constitutional system of government," a little-known federal
|
|
agency is quietly making plans to turn the United States into a
|
|
dictatorship.
|
|
There are "stacks of blueprints" in the top-secret safe of the Federal
|
|
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) designed to convert American society
|
|
into a "command system," a former deputy administrator of the agency has
|
|
told The SPOTLIGHT's investigative team.
|
|
In a private interview, allowing him to remain anonymous, this highly
|
|
placed source confirmed that the procedures developed by FEMA to "suspend"
|
|
the Constitution and to round up thousands of dissenters nationwide can be
|
|
activated by a simple phone call from the White House.
|
|
"Even people who have become aware of FEMA's existence and know
|
|
something about its activities -- not many do -- think the word `Emergency'
|
|
in its designation means it will go into action only in case of a natural
|
|
disaster or perhaps a surprise nuclear attack," related this expert.
|
|
"In reality, however, this outfit can be mobilized whenever the
|
|
politicians occupying the White House decide they need special -- and
|
|
extra-Constitutional -- powers to impose their will on the nation."
|
|
As Liberty Lobby first revealed, FEMA's bureaucrats can then proceed
|
|
to:
|
|
* Take over all farms, ranches or timberland in order to "utilize them
|
|
more effectively" as decreed in Executive Order (EO) 11490, the so-
|
|
called omnibus emergency preparedness decree promulgated by President
|
|
Richard Nixon on October 28, 1969.
|
|
* Seize all sources of public power: electric, nuclear, petroleum, etc.
|
|
* Freeze all wages, prices and bank accounts.
|
|
* Take over all communications media.
|
|
A FORCE OF FACELESS FEDS
|
|
Such totalitarian measures can be imposed by bureaucrats under FEMA's
|
|
direction, not just in the face of a cataclysmic upheaval, but "[w]henever
|
|
necessary for assuring the continuity of the federal government in any
|
|
national emergency type situation," decreed a subsequent White House ukase,
|
|
EO 11921, issued by President Gerald Ford in April 1976.
|
|
Can such a blueprint for tyranny be clamped on the United States by a
|
|
force of faceless federal officials? It is the role of FEMA has been
|
|
preparing for most intensively, says the former high agency administrator.
|
|
"In recent years, despite talk of spending cuts, FEMA's budget has
|
|
been steadily increasing," revealed this knowledgeable source. "It now
|
|
stands at somewhere around $3000000000 annually. I say `somewhere' because
|
|
part of this agency's funding is appropriated under so-called black
|
|
programs, submitted to Congress with the defense budget without an
|
|
explanation of its purpose, aping the secret CIA appropriation."
|
|
FEMA can draw on the defense budget and on the protection of the
|
|
secrecy reserved for national security projects because it came into being
|
|
under President Jimmy Carter in a move that merged the civil defense and
|
|
disaster relief responsibilities formerly shared by the Pentagon, the
|
|
Commerce Department and the General Services Administration under a single
|
|
powerful agency.
|
|
WHAT'S FEMA REALLY UP TO?
|
|
But FEMA's real focus is not on disaster relief, knowledgeable sources
|
|
say. An investigation of this little-known agency, conducted earlier this
|
|
year by the General Accounting Office (GAO), the congressional watchdog
|
|
unit, has found that less than <data type="percent" unit="%">10%</data> of FEMA's staff -- 230
|
|
bureaucrats out of an estimated 2600 -- are assigned full-time to
|
|
preparing for and dealing with major natural disasters such as storms or
|
|
earthquakes.
|
|
What, then, is FEMA really up to? The SPOTLIGHT's investigative team
|
|
has obtained an advance copy of the GAO report on this secretive agency.
|
|
The study's surprising findings have been reviewed with the help of
|
|
well-placed confidential sources, in order to bring into full view, for the
|
|
first time, the federal bureaucracy's secret blueprint for tyranny in
|
|
America.
