The problem, of course, is that we have become a nation in a permanent state of emergency.
Power-hungry and lawless, the government has weaponized one national crisis after another in order to expand its powers and justify all manner of government tyranny in the so-called name of national security.
The seeds of this present madness were sown almost two decades ago when George W. Bush stealthily issued two presidential directives that granted the president the power to unilaterally declare a national emergency, which is loosely defined as “any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions.”
Comprising the country’s Continuity of Government (COG) plan, these directives (National Security Presidential Directive 51 and Homeland Security Presidential Directive 20) provide a skeletal outline of the actions the president will take in the event of a “national emergency.”
Just what sort of actions the president will take once he declares a national emergency can barely be discerned from the barebones directives. However, one thing is clear: in the event of a national emergency, the COG directives give unchecked executive, legislative and judicial power to the president.
The country would then be subjected to martial law by default, and the Constitution and the Bill of Rights would be suspended.
Essentially, the president would become a dictator for life.
It has happened already.
The Rutherford Institute and John Whitehead should be in every constitutional patriots favorites bookmark. I suspect that he reads Wes on a regular basis .
Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely!
SOS different day different rectums.
The other government principle is, people always get the the government they deserve!
I have watched the slide in to tyranny for sixty years, if ten dollars a gallon for fuel doesn’t wake the sheeple, nothing will! I pray for higher gas prices and gun banning and confiscation! Even if they wake up I am not sure they have the balls to do anything! Oh well, freedom was great while it lasted.
Yes, he is a dictator until he is not TINVOWOOT.
He is NULL & VOID!
This is so serious, it’s painful to think about. Every reliable watchman is saying that this power grab is being executed NOW. Biden is about two weeks behind Trudeau in house-to-house searches to take “domestic terrorists” into custody. If ever a sheriff was to stand up, now is the time. If ever a citizen was to knock on the sheriff and ask him where he stands, now is the time. Think of all the Soros elected DAs and sheriffs and then think of your front door. Lord, have mercy.
Joseph “Idi Amin Dada, DSC, VC, president for life” Bidum. Time for him and his ilk to be removed from the People’s House.
Sooooo, Obama, Trump and Biden have all failed.
BLM and ANTIFA dont trigger it. Huh? Magine that.
Why I bet if “Right Wing Militias” did a 1/10 of what these 2 groups had done, they’d have been hinted, slaughterd and there Family’s and we’d still be Living Under these Decree’s.
Ain’t Politicians, Politics and “Voter Base” something else.
