SUBJECT: FEMA GULAG SECRET CONCENTRATION CAMPS The September issue of THE OSTRICH reprinted a story from the CBA BULLETIN which listed the following principal civilian concentra- tion camps established in GULAG USA under the =Rex '84= program: Ft. Chaffee, Arkansas; Ft. Drum, New York; Ft. Indian Gap, Penn- sylvania; Camp A. P. Hill, Virginia; Oakdale, California; Eglin Air Force Base, Florida; Vendenberg AFB, California; Ft. Mc Coy, Wisconsin; Ft. Benning, Georgia; Ft. Huachuca, Arizona; Camp Krome, Florida. The February OSTRICH printed a map of the expanding Gulag. Alhough this listing and map stirred considerable interest, the report was not new. For at least 20 years, knowledgeable Patriots have been warning of these sinister plots to incarcerate dissidents opposing plans of the =Elitist Syndicate= for a totalitarian =New World Order=. Indeed, the plot was recognized with the insidious encroachment of "regionalism" back in the 1960's. As early as 1968, the "greatest land steal in history" leading to global corporate socialism, was in a ="Master Land Plan"= for the United States by =Executive Orders= involving water resource regions, population movement and control, pollution control, zoning and land use, navigation and environmental bills, etc. Indeed, the real undercover aim of the so-called "Environmental Rennaissance" has been the abolition of private property. All prelude to the total grab of the =World Conservation Bank=, as THE OSTRICH has been reporting. The map on this page and the list of executive orders available for imposition of an "emergency" are from 1970s files of the late Gen. =P. A. Del Valle's= ALERT, sent us by =Merritt Newby=, editor of the now defunct AMERICAN CHALLENGE. =Wake up Americans!= The Bushoviks have approved =Gorbachev's= imposition of "Emergency" to suppress unrest. =Henry Kissinger= and his clients hardly missed a day's profits in their deals with the butchers of Tiananmen Sqaure. Are you next? ************************************************************************* SUBJECT: Executive Orders APPLICABLE EXECUTIVE ORDERS The following =Executive Orders=, now recorded in the Federal Register, and therefore accepted by Congress as the law of the land, can be put into effect at any time an emergency is declared: 10995--All communications media seized by the Federal Government. 10997--Seizure of all electrical power, fuels, including gasoline and minerals. 10998--Seizure of all food resources, farms and farm equipment. 10999--Seizure of all kinds of transportation, including your personal car, and control of all highways and seaports. 11000--Seizure of all civilians for work under Federal supervision. 11001--Federal takeover of all health, education and welfare. 11002--Postmaster General empowered to register every man, woman and child in the U.S.A. 11003--Seizure of all aircraft and airports by the Federal Government. 11004--Housing and Finance authority may shift population from one locality to another. Complete integration. 11005--Seizure of railroads, inland waterways, and storage facilities. 11051--The Director of the Office of Emergency Planning authorized to put Executive Orders into effect in "times of increased international tension or financial crisis". He is also to perform such additional functions as the President may direct. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Dangerous Fact Not Generally Known ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THESE EXECUTIVE ORDERS GROSSLY AND FLAGRANTLY VIOLATE ARTICLE 4 SECTION 4 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. "THE UNITED STATES SHALL GUARANTEE TO EVERY STATE IN THIS UNION A REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT, AND SHALL PROTECT EACH OF THEM AGAINST INVASION; AND ON APPLICATION OF THE LEGISLATURE, OR OF THE EXECUTIVE (WHEN THE LEGISLATURE CANNOT BE CONVENED) AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE." "REGIONAL GOVERNMENT IS NOT A REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT!" When Government gets out of hand and can no longer be controlled by the people, short of violent overthrow as in 1776, there are two sources of power which are used by the dictatorial government to keep the people in line: the Police Power and the Power of the Purse (through which the necessities of life can be withheld). And both of these powers are no longer balanced between the three Federal Branches, and between the Federal and the State and local Governments. These powers have been taken over, with the permission of the Federal Legislature and the State Governments, by the Executive Branch of the Federal Government and all attempts to reclaim that lost power have been defeated. Stated simply: the dictatorial power of the Executive rests primarily on three basis: Executive Order 11490, Executive Order 11647, and the Planning, Programming, Budgeting System which is operated through the new and all-powerful Office of Management and Budget. E. O. 11490 is a compilation of some 23 previous Executive Orders, signed by Nixon on Oct. 28, 1969, and outlining emergency functions which are to be performed by some 28 Executive Departments and Agencies whenever the President of the United States declares a national emergency (as in defiance of an impeachment edict, for example). Under the terms of E. O. 11490, the President can declare that a national emergency exists and the Executive Branch can: * Take over all communications media * Seize all sources of power * Take charge of all food resources * Control all highways and seaports * Seize all railroads, inland waterways, airports, storage facilities * Commandeer all civilians to work under federal supervision * Control all activities relating to health, education, and welfare * Shift any segment of the population from one locality to another * Take over farms, ranches, timberized properties * Regulate the amount of your own money you may withdraw from your bank, or savings and loan institution All of these and many more items are listed in 32 pages incorporating nearly 200,000 words, providing and absolute bureaucratic dictatorship whenever the President gives the word. --> Executive Order 11647 provides the regional and local mechanisms --> and manpower for carrying out the provisions of E. O. 11490. --> Signed by Richard Nixon on Feb. 10, 1972, this Order sets up Ten --> Federal Regional Councils to govern Ten Federal Regions made up --> of the fifty still existing States of the Union. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Don sez: *Check out this book for the inside scoop on the "secret" Constitution.* SUBJECT: - "The Proposed Constitutional Model" Pages 595-621 Book Title - The Emerging Constitution Author - Rexford G.

Then, controlling the bedgeting and the programming at every level is that politico-economic system known as PPBS. The President need not wait for some emergency such as an impeachment ouster. He can declare a National Emergency at any time, and freeze everything, just as he has already frozen wages and prices. And the Congress, and the States, are powerless to prevent such an Executive Dictatorship, unless Congress moves to revoke these extraordinary powers before the Chief Executive moves to invoke them. THESE EXECUTIVE ORDERS GROSSLY AND FLAGRANTLY VIOLATE THE INTENT AND PURPOSE OF ARTICLE 4 SECTION 3.

FURTHER, THESE EXECUTIVE ORDERS GROSSLY AND FLAGRANTLY VIOLATE THE 9TH AND 10TH AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION!

A war, even the most victorious, is a national misfortune. --Helmuth Von Moltke, Prussian field marshall George Bush put the United States on the road to its second war in two years by declaring a national emergency on August 2,1990. In response to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, Bush issued two Executive Orders (12722 and 12723) which restricted trade and travel with Iraq and froze Iraqi and Kuwaiti assets within the U.S. and those in the possession of U.S. persons abroad. At least 15 other executive orders followed these initial restrictions and enabled the President to mobilize the country's human and productive resources for war. Under the national emergency, Bush was able unilaterally to break his 1991 budget agreement with Congress which had frozen defense spending, to entrench further the U.S. economy in the mire of the military- industrial complex, to override environmental protection regulations, and to make free enterprise and civil liberties conditional upon an executive determination of national security interests. The State of Emergency In time of war a president's power derives from both constitutional and statutory sources. Under Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution, he is Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. Although Congress alone retains the right to declare war, this power has become increasingly meaningless in the face of a succession of unilateral decisions by the executive to mount invasions. The president's statutory authority, granted by Congress and expanded by it under the 1988 National Emergencies Act (50 USC sec. 1601), confers special powers in time of war or national emergency. He can invoke those special powers simply by declaring a national emergency. First, however, he must specify the legal provisions under which he proposes that he, or other officers, will act. Congress may end a national emergency by enacting a joint resolution. Once invoked by the president, emergency powers are directed by the National Security Council and administered, where appropriate, under the general umbrella of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).[1] There is no requirement that Congress be consulted before an emergency is declared or findings signed. The only restriction on Bush is that he must inform Congress in a "timely" fashion--he being the sole arbiter of timeliness. Ultimately, the president's perception of the severity of a particular threat to national security and the integrity of his appointed officers determine the nature of any state of emergency. For this reason, those who were aware of the modern development of presidential emergency powers were apprehensive about the domestic ramifications of any national emergency declared by George Bush. In light of Bush's record (see "Bush Chips Away at Constitution" Box below) and present performance, their fears appear well-founded. The War at Home It is too early to know all of the emergency powers, executive orders and findings issued under classified National Security Directives[2] implemented by Bush in the name of the Gulf War. In addition to the emergency powers necessary to the direct mobilization of active and reserve armed forces of the United States, there are some 120 additional emergency powers that can be used in a national emergency or state of war (declared or undeclared by Congress). The "Federal Register" records some 15 Executive Orders (EO) signed by Bush from August 2,1990 to February 14,1991. (See "Bush's Executive Orders" box, below) It may take many years before most of the executive findings and use of powers come to light, if indeed they ever do. But evidence is emerging that at least some of Bush's emergency powers were activated in secret. Although only five of the 15 EOs that were published were directed at non-military personnel, the costs directly attributable to the exercise of the authorities conferred by the declaration of national emergency from August 2, 1990 to February 1, 1991 for non- military activities are estimated at approximately $1.3 billion. According to a February 11, 1991 letter from Bush to congressional leaders reporting on the "National Emergency With Respect to Iraq," these costs represent wage and salary costs for the Departments of Treasury, State, Agriculture, and Transportation, U.S. Customs, Federal Reserve Board, and the National Security Council.[3] The fact that $1.3 billion was spent in non-military salaries alone in this six month period suggests an unusual amount of government resources utilized to direct the national emergency state. In contrast, government salaries for one year of the state of emergency with Iran[4] cost only $430,000. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | Bush Chips Away at Constitution | | | | George Bush, perhaps more than any other individual in | | U.S. history, has expanded the emergency powers of | | presidency. In 1976, as Director of Central Intelligence, | | he convened Team B, a group of rabidly anti-communist | | intellectuals and former government officials to reevaluate | | CIA inhouse intelligence estimates on Soviet military | | strength. The resulting report recommended draconian civil | | defense measures which led to President Ford's Executive | | Order 11921 authorizing plans to establish government | | control of the means of production, distribution, energy | | sources, wages and salaries, credit and the flow of money | | in U.S. financial institutions in a national emergency.[1] | | As Vice President, Bush headed the Task Force on | | Combatting Terrorism, that recommended: extended and | | flexible emergency presidential powers to combat terrorism; | | restrictions on congressional oversight in counter- | | terrorist planning; and curbing press coverage of | | terrorist incidents.[2] The report gave rise to the Anti- | | Terrorism Act of 1986, that granted the President clear-cut | | authority to respond to terrorism with all appropriate | | means including deadly force. It authorized the | | Immigration and Naturalization Service to control and | | remove not only alien terrorists but potential terrorist | | aliens and those "who are likely to be supportive of | | terrorist activity within the U.S."[3] The bill superceded | | the War Powers Act by imposing no time limit on the | | President's use of force in a terrorist situation, and | | lifted the requirement that the President consult Congress | | before sanctioning deadly force. | | From 1982 to 1988, Bush led the Defense Mobilization | | Planning Systems Agency (DMPSA), a secret government | | organization, and spent more than $3 billion upgrading | | command, control, and communications in FEMA's continuity | | of government infrastructures. Continuity of Government | | (COG) was ostensibly created to assure government | | functioning during war, especially nuclear war. The Agency | | was so secret that even many members of the Pentagon were | | unaware of its existence and most of its work was done | | without congressional oversight. | | Project 908, as the DMPSA was sometimes called, was | | similar to its parent agency FEMA in that it came under | | investigation for mismanagement and contract | | irregularities.[4] During this same period, FEMA had been | | fraught with scandals including emergency planning with a | | distinctly anti-constitutional flavor. The agency would | | have sidestepped Congress and other federal agencies and | | put the President and FEMA directly in charge of the U.S. | | planning for martial rule. Under this state, the executive | | would take upon itself powers far beyond those necessary to | | address national emergency contingencies.[5] | | Bush's "anything goes" anti-drug strategy, announced | | on September 6, 1989, suggested that executive emergency | | powers be used: to oust those suspected of associating | | with drug users or sellers from public and private housing; | | to mobilize the National Guard and U.S. military to fight | | drugs in the continental U.S.; to confiscate private | | property belonging to drug users, and to incarcerate first | | time offenders in work camps.[6] | | The record of Bush's fast and loose approach to | | constitutionally guaranteed civil rights is a history of | | the erosion of liberty and the consolidation of an imperial | | executive. | | | | 1.
