WHILE NO ONE WAS LOOKING / BUSH APPOINTS HIMSELF DICTATOR
With scarcely a mention in the mainstream media, President Bush has ordered up a plan for responding to a catastrophic attack which puts himself and Dick Cheney in charge of leading the Federal Government ~ a coup in waiting as Congressional investigations nip at their heels: Allen L Roland

Two stolen elections.
Billions in loot from an illegal war.
Did we think they would ever give up control of the gov?

It doesnt even have to be Iraq/Iran. One "lucky" hurricane or "catastrophic emergency" and he dictator of the country. He'll have the time to do whatever he wants: implement any law, change any law, destroy evidence, cook the laws, etc.

4. I've been screaming too!
I have been deeply disturbed by the wording of this directive since hearing about it last week.

Unfortunately, there don't seem to be many others who are paying attention to the dire implications of it, much less who even have a clue!

6. another scenario
If Bozo tries to do that, will the military stand pat and let it happen? I'm looking at the generals who have become more and more outspoken about the effects that Iraq has had on their forces, both in terms of casualties, and in terms of future ability to field effective forces if another crisis explodes.

Could a military coup take place here? Before Bush I would have thought something like that all but impossible. Now, not so much. To have Bozo and the boys openly seize power in this nation might be the last straw for a lot of officers and troopers.

It might sound like a fantasy out of that "Starship Troopers" movie but there are an awful lot of people in uniform who are growing more and more disenchanted with what is going on, and who have access to information (unlike in VIet Nam) about what is happening back home thanks to the internet.

Its hard to maintain illusions of fighting for freedom when the truth is out there for everyone to see. The people in the Armed Forces are NOT stupid, nor are they GOPuke zombies. The day for a man on a white horse may well be approaching, and God only knows what will be the result of that.

8. This morning on Washington Journal a caller brought up
these presidential directives to two reporters who were answering callers questions. NEITHER of the two had heard of the directives! UNBELIEVABLE!! I've printed off copies of the directives to give to friends and family. Tomorrow I'm writing congresscritters and on Tuesday will start calling their offices just so that they know people are catching on. I believe this is very serious. Cannot believe it's happening here.

9. I emailed Sen Casey
Senator Casey,
I am writing you to ask what you and fellow Democrats in congress are doing about George W. Bush's National Security Presidential Directive/NSPD 51 and Homeland Security Presidential Directive/HSPD-20? With the National Emergency Act, this country already has a plan in place in case of a national emergency. These new directives are an obvious step along the path to this administration's attempt at establishing a dictatorship.


Not that it will do any good.

15. (Make sure Casey knows this too:) Cheney: Nuclear terrorist attack inside the U.S.
Edited on Mon May-28-07 12:24 AM by Amonester
http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/news_theswamp/2007/04/cheney_nuclear_.html

> "Cheney: Nuclear terrorist attack inside the U.S. "a very real threat'' "

> "Asked about the observation of some that Cheney himself is a "changed'' man, the vice president said only one thing has changed since he and President Bush assumed office: "9/11.''" <



The dicktatortot's wet-dream of a "New Pearl Harbor" at the time he signed PNAC letters come true... a coincidence? Yah, rrrright!



> "And the stakes of terrorist threats that the United States faces today have only increased since then," Cheney said, <



Infuriating almost a third of this planet's population deliberately for years has surely... "won their hearts and minds" ... NOT!!



> calling fear of the detonation of a nuclear weapon inside an American city "a very real threat....


(OF COURSE, I SURE WISH NOT, BUT) bu$che migth very well be... tsk... tsk... ON VACATION at the precise moment "blackwater" WOULD detonate these war-profiteering neocons' "reichtag fire like" coup??


Who will stop these war criminals once and for all? Please ask Casey... (is Congress "in session" in August??) :scared:

:grr:

17. Emailed both my Senators (Dems) on this last week...
...sent them the text of the bill.

The local offices knew NOTHING about it when I'd called to ask
"You gonna let him get away with this?" :scared::banghead:

10. May I suggest posting this in General Discussion too? Just to
keep it out there longer. I looked in General Discussion and didn't see it but if you already did I may have just missed it.

11. At least if they take over in a Dictatorship they will be out in the open.
Edited on Sun May-27-07 08:57 PM by gordianot
Too many people in this country think this is a Democracy (Republic). Unless the seat of government is destroyed a Dictatorship would not last long. Even then it would be on short legs as the government is replaced by popular demand.

They would have to try to maintain this long term and they do not have the popular support or militia (shipped off to Iraq) to make that happen.

Stealing elections is one thing suspending elections will create more problems than they can deal with it, would be a terrible gamble with many unforeseen consequences.

13. I have been telling everyone this for at least a year now.
My wife rolls her eyes at me with her that will never happen sheep attitude. I believe this will be a joint effort U.S./Israel attack. The people take it to the streets and bam Martial Law. Have your survival kit ready, can goods, flashlight, compass, batteries, blankets, first aid kit.
If the fool is finally out of office I will sleep better. It has been a long six and a half years.

20. So will he invoke this before 2008 elections? Why else would he do it?
Please don't say because he wants to make certain we are prepared for a disaster.
