IT ALSO PROVIDES THAT WHEN A STATE OF EMERGENCY IS DECLARED BY THE PRESIDENT, CONGRESS CANNOT REVIEW THE ACTION FOR SIX MONTHS.
? 12148 CREATED THE FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY (FEMA) THAT IS TO INTERFACE WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE FOR CIVIL DEFENSE PLANNING AND FUNDING. AN "EMERGENCY CZAR" WAS APPOINTED. FEMA HAS ONLY SPENT ABOUT 6 PERCENT OF ITS BUDGET ON NATIONAL EMERGENCIES, THE BULK OF THEIR FUNDING HAS BEEN USED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF SECRET UNDERGROUND FACILITIES TO ASSURE CONTINUITY OF GOVERNMENT IN CASE OF A MAJOR EMERGENCY, FOREIGN OR DOMESTIC.
? 12656 APPOINTED THE NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL AS THE PRINCIPAL BODY THAT SHOULD CONSIDER EMERGENCY POWERS. THIS ALLOWS THE GOVERNMENT TO INCREASE DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE AND SURVEILLANCE OF U.S. CITIZENS AND WOULD RESTRICT THE FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT WITHIN THE UNITED STATES AND GRANTED THE GOVERNMENT THE RIGHT TO ISOLATE LARGE GROUPS OF CIVILIANS. THE NATIONAL GUARD COULD BE FEDERALIZED TO SEAL ALL BORDERS AND TAKE CONTROL OF U.S. AIR SPACE AND ALL PORTS OF ENTRY. MANY OF THE FIGURES IN THE IRAN-CONTRA SCANDAL WERE PART OF THIS EMERGENCY CONTINGENT, INCLUDING MARINE COLONEL OLIVER NORTH.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has broad powers in every aspect of the nation. General Frank Salzedo, chief of FEMA's Civil Security Division stated in a 1983 conference that he saw FEMA's role as a "new frontier in the protection of individual and governmental leaders from assassination, and of civil and military installations from sabotage and/or attack, as well as prevention of dissident groups from gaining access to U.S. opinion, or a global audience in times of crisis."
The Violent Crime Control Act of 1991 provides additional powers to the President of the United States, allowing the suspension of the Constitution and Constitutional rights of Americans during a "drug crisis". It provides for the construction of detention camps, seizure of property, and military control of populated areas.
When the Constitution of the United States was framed it placed the exclusive legislative authority in the hands of Congress and with the President. Article I, Section 1 of the United States Constitution is concise in its language, "All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives." That is no longer true. The Bill of Rights protected Americans against loss of freedoms. That is no longer true. The Constitution provided for a balanced separation of powers. That is no longer applicable.
Perhaps it can be summed up succinctly in the words of conservative activist Howard J. Ruff. "Since the enactment of Executive Order 11490, the only thing standing between us and dictatorship is the good character of the President, and the lack of a crisis severe enough that the public would stand still for it."
