Congress passes `doomsday' plan
By Noelle Straub
Sunday, January 9, 2005


WASHINGTON - With no fanfare, the U.S. House has passed a controversial doomsday provision that would allow a handful of lawmakers to run Congress if a terrorist attack or major disaster killed or incapacitated large numbers of congressmen.
     ``I think (the new rule) is terrible in a whole host of ways - first, I think it's unconstitutional,'' said Norm Ornstein, a counselor to the independent Continuity of Government Commission, a bipartisan panel created to study the issue. ``It's a very foolish thing to do, I believe, and the way in which it was done was more foolish.''

4. Am I missing something here?

"But under the new rule, a majority of living congressmen no longer will be needed to do business under ``catastrophic circumstances.''

LIVING congressmen? what the hell is that supposed to mean?

[K-W]

6. Exactly what it says.

If there was an attack on washington, it is very possible many congresspeople would die.

11. Thanks, KW. I re-read it....

and get what they're saying. It just struck me as an odd way of putting it.

8. HOLY SHIT! Great find, Al-CIAda!

This is a major precursor to MIHOP 2! It's the equivalent of Dick Cheney putting himself in charge of coordinating the wargames on May 8, 2001. I think we can count on something major coming down this year.

BTW, I love your name. I'd love to put a bumper sticker on my desk at work that says "Destroy Al-CIAda!" Not you personally, just the real organization.

AJ: Alright, bro. Thanks for the call. I just know - the poor folks in Rwanda, when the UN was killing them, thought that it was the anti-Christ and they were about to get raptured out. It didn’t happen. Same thing with Hitler, folks, God helps those who help themselves. I believe in God. I’m a Christian. But I believe we’ve got these phony churches, that have been infiltrated by the government, are telling you to lay down. And we’ve got to say no to that.

SH: The other thing I want to say about the rapture, eschatology and so on, is that a lot of these right-wing churches support Israel because they feel that the Bible gives them the right to extend to the Nile and Euphrates and beyond. And it’s just another propaganda ploy to support our going out there and dying for Israel - because the Bible says so. Now, I don’t think, I mean this idea that Jesus will come with a rapture tomorrow if we support Israel today, we’ve got Armageddon around the corner, I mean this is nonsense. This is just a complete sham. But, why do all the right-wing evangelical Christians support this state which (crosstalk)

Rhonda: You know this Rapture cult kind of fits in good with the Fatherland Security because when people start disappearing, they can just blame it on the rapture. We can’t find them; I don’t know where they are. God must have took them.

SH: In South America, it’s called desaparedetos (sp), which means it disappeared. You have this in Chile and Argentina, etc. - hundreds of thousands of people disappeared. Their families go marching around the central square on Saturday afternoons. I mean that’s what you are going to be seeing here pretty soon - people that have disappeared. I they are going to wonder where did they go? And that’s the goal here - to spread terror, to make you feel that unless you tow the line you are going to be picked up next. That’s the ultimate form of power.
