Became Bush ready to declare MARTIAL law? of http://www.rense.com/general69/control.h ... :
President George W. Bush signed orders giving him sole authority to impose martial law, suspend habeas corpus and ignore the Posse Comitatus Act that prohibits deployment of U.S. troops in the streets of America. That gives him absolute power over the dictatorial government with no checks and balances.
Bush discussed the martial law in the streets of America in the aftermath of 9 / 11 terrorist attacks by activating "national security initiatives" put in place by Ronald Reagan in the 1980s.
These initiatives "national security", hatched in 1982 by controversial Marine Colonel Oliver North, later one of the major players in the Iran-Contra scandal, in charge of the Federal Emergency Management Agency in the administration of decrees that permits the suspension of the Constitution, the implementation of Martial Law, establishment of internment camps, and the rotation of the Government to the President.
John Brinkerhoff, deputy director of FEMA, developed the plan for implementation of martial law, following a model originally developed by former FEMA director Louis Guiffrida to battle a "national uprising of militant blacks. "Gifuffrida implementation of martial law called for imprisonment of at least 21 million African Americans in" relocation camps. Brinkerhoff later admitted in an interview with the Miami Herald that President Reagan signed on the initiatives and they remained in place, dormant, until George W. Bush took office.
Brinkerhoff moved on the Anser Institute for Homeland Security and, after 9 / 11 terrorist attacks provided the Bush White House and the Pentagon with talking points to support the revised "national security initiatives" that could allow imposition of martial law and suspension of the Posse Comitatus Act of 1978, the law that is supposed to prohibit the use of troops in domestic law enforcement.
Brinkerhoff wrote that intentions of Posse Comitatus were "misinterpreted" and that the United States in cases of national emergency the "full and absolute authority" to send troops into American streets to "enforce order and maintain peace. "
Bush used parts of the plan to send troops into the streets of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. In addition, FEMA hired former special forces personnel from the mercenary firm Blackwater USA to "enhance security."
Blackwater USA, in its promotional materials, describes itself as "the most comprehensive professional military, law enforcement, security, peacekeeping, and stability operations company in the world," adding that "we have established a global presence and provide training and operational solutions for the 21st century in support of security and peace and freedom and democracy everywhere. "
Blackwater is also a major contractor in Iraq and has a contract with the Bush White House to provide additional security work "on an as-needed basis."
The Department of Homeland Security established the "Northern Command for National Defense," a comprehensive program that includes FEMA, the Pentagon, the FBI and the National Security Agency. Executive orders already signed by Bush allow the Northern Command to send troops into American streets, seize control of radio and television stations and networks and impose martial law "in cases of national emergency" .
The power to declare what is or is not a national emergency rests entirely with Bush who did not consult either or seek the approval of Congress for permission to assume absolute control over the government of the United States .
The press office of the White House would neither confirm nor deny existenc.
