FEMA - The Secret Government
Harry V. Martin (1995)

(Thread)

Some people have referred to it as the "secret government" of United States. It is not an elected body, it does not involve itself in public disclosures, & it even has a quasi-secret budget in the billions of dollars.

This government organization has more power than the President of the United States or the Congress.

It has the power to suspend laws, move entire populations, arrest & detain citizens without a warrant & hold them without trial, it can seize property, food supplies, transportation systems, & can suspend the Constitution.

Not only is it the most powerful entity in the United States, but it was not even created under Constitutional law by the Congress. It was a product of a Presidential Executive Order.

No, it is not the U.S. military nor the Central Intelligence Agency, they are subject to Congress.

The organization is called FEMA, which stands for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Originally conceived in the Richard Nixon Administration, it was refined by President Jimmy Carter & given teeth in the Ronald Reagan & George Bush Administrations.

FEMA had one original concept when it was created, to assure the survivability of the United States government in the event of a nuclear attack on this nation.

It was also provided with the task of being a federal coordinating body during times of domestic disasters, such as earthquakes, floods & hurricanes.

Its awesome powers grow under the tutelage of people like Lt. Col. Oliver North & General Richard Secord, the architects on the Iran-Contra scandal & the looting of America's savings & loan institutions.

FEMA has even been given control of the State Defense Forces, a rag-tag, often considered neo-Nazi, civilian army that will substitute for the National Guard, if the Guard is called to duty overseas.

THE MOST POWERFUL ORGANIZATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Though it may be the most powerful organization in the United States, few people know it even exists. But it has crept into our private lives. Even mortgage papers contain FEMA's name in small print if the property in question is near a flood plain.

FEMA was deeply involved in the Los Angeles riots & the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Some of the black helicopter traffic reported throughout the United States, but mainly in the West, California, Washington, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas & Colorado, are flown by FEMA personnel.

FEMA has been given responsibility for many new disasters including urban forest fires, home heating emergencies, refugee situations, urban riots, & emergency planning for nuclear & toxic incidents. In the West, it works in conjunction with the Sixth Army.

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 by-passed.

Executive Order Number 12148 created the Federal Emergency Management Agency that is to interface with the Department of Defense for civil defense planning & funding. An "emergency czar" was appointed.

FEMA has only spent about 6 percent of its budget on national emergencies, the bulk of their funding has been used for the construction of secret underground facilities to assure continuity of government in case of a major emergency, foreign or domestic.

Executive Order Number 12656 appointed the National Security Council as the principal body that should consider emergency powers.

This allows the government to increase domestic intelligence & surveillance of U.S. citizens & would restrict the freedom of movement within the United States & grant the government the right to isolate large groups of civilians.

The National Guard could be federalized to seal all borders & take control of U.S. air space & all ports of entry.

Here are just a few Executive Orders associated with FEMA that would suspend the Constitution & the Bill of Rights. These Executive Orders have been on record for nearly 30 years & could be enacted by the stroke of a Presidential pen:

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10990 allows the government to take over all modes of transportation & control of highways and seaports.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10995 allows the government to seize & control the communication media.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10997 allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels & minerals.
