It is not an elected body, but 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.
and the processes of Congress are by-passed. It does not involve
itself in public disclosures, and it even has a 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 and detain
citizens without a warrant and hold them without trial, it can seize
property, food supplies, transportation systems, and the power to
suspend the Constitution and turn over the reigns of government to
FEMA and appointing military commanders to run state and local
governments. 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.
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. During times of domestic disasters,
such as earthquakes, floods and hurricanes it was also provided
with the task of being a federal coordinating body. FEMA has been
given responsibility for many new disasters including urban forest
fires, home heating emergencies, refugee situations, urban riots,
and emergency planning for nuclear and toxic incidents.
Here are just a few Executive Orders associated with FEMA that
would suspend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. These
Executive Orders have been on record for nearly 30 years and could
be enacted by the President at the stroke of a pen:
The National Security Act of 1947, which allows for the strategic
relocation of industries, services, government and other essential
economic activities, and to rationalize the requirements for
manpower, resources and production facilities; The 1950 Defense
Production Act, which gives the President sweeping powers over all
aspects of the economy; The Act of August 29, 1916, which
authorizes the Secretary of the Army, in time of war, to take
possession of any transportation system for transporting troops,
material, or any other purpose related to the emergency; and The
International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which enables the
President to seize the property of a foreign country or national. In
consolidation, these powers were transferred to FEMA in 1979 by
President Carter.
Post Hurricane Andrew study of the agency by media and Congress
found FEMA was spending 12 times more for "black operations" than
for disaster relief. It spent $1.3 billion building secret bunkers
throughout the United States in anticipation of government
disruption by foreign or domestic upheaval. Yet fewer than 20
members of Congress with top security clearance knew.
Purchases from the budget include 300 sophisticated mobile units
that are capable of sustaining themselves for a month. The vehicles
are located in five areas of the United States. They have
tremendous communication systems and each contains a generator
that would provide power to 120 homes, but have never been used
for disaster relief.
The President of the United States now has broader powers (which
have increased with successive Crime Bills, particularly the 1991
and 1993 Crime Bills) to declare martial law, which activates FEMA's
extraordinary powers. Martial law can be declared during time of
increased tension overseas, economic problems within the United
States, such as a depression, civil unrest, such as demonstrations
or scenes like the Los Angeles riots, and in a drug crisis. Even
Congress cannot review a Martial Law action until six months after
it has been declared.
Most experts insisted that a crisis has to appear dangerous
enough before the people of the United States would tolerate or
accept complete government takeover. The typical crisis needed
would be threat of imminent nuclear war, rioting in several U.S.
cites simultaneously, a series of national disasters that affect
widespread danger to the populous, massive terrorist attacks, a
depression in which tens of millions are unemployed and without
financial resources, or a major environmental disaster.
All these premises exist, it could only be a matter of time in which
one of these triggers the entire emergency necessary to bring
FEMA into action, and then it may be too late, because under the
FEMA plan, there is no contingency by which Constitutional power
is restored.
Here's a List

plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and distribution,
of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit and the flow of money in U.S.
financial institution in any undefined national emergency. It also provides
that when a state of emergency is declared by the President - Congress
cannot review the action for six months."

Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.) said on August 11 the government
“might use a pandemic disease or national disaster as an excuse to declare
martial law.” |
