It is hardly surprising not a single corporate newspaper reported

Summary: It is hardly surprising not a single corporate newspaper reported the death of the Constitution Go to Google News and type in National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive and hit enter Google returns ten paltry results not one from the New York Times the Washington Post or related corporate media source Google Trends rates the story as mild that is to say it warrants nary a blip on the news radar screen Of course another death blow to the Constitution already long on life support is hardly news Few understand we now live in a dictatorship or maybe it should be called a decidership The Bush administration has released a directive called the National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive The directive released on May 9th 2007 has gone almost unnoticed by the mainstream and alternative media This is understandable considering the huge Ron Paul and immigration news but this story is equally as huge In this directive Bush declares that in the event of a Catastrophic Emergency the President will be entrusted with leading the activities to ensure constitutional government The language in this directive would in effect make the President a dictator in the case of such an emergency writes Lee Rogers for Global Research The language written in the directive is disturbing because it doesn t say that the President will work with the other branches of government equally to ensure a constitutional government is protected It says clearly that there will be a cooperative effort among the three branches that will be coordinated by the President If the President is coordinating these efforts it effectively puts him in charge of every branch The language in the directive is entirely Orwellian in nature making it seem that it is a cooperative effort between all three branches but than it says that the President is in charge of the cooperative effort In short Bush may now declare himself absolute ruler at any moment and Congress can like it or lump it Naturally this act of betrayal is of so little importance and consequence the corporate media believes you are better served knowing Justin Timberlake is in love This directive on its face is unconstitutional because each branch of government the executive legislative and judicial are supposed to be equal in power Lee continues By putting the President in charge of coordinating such an effort to ensure constitutional government over all three branches is effectively making the President a dictator allowing him to tell all branches of government what to do So much for the first three articles of the Constitution designed to make sure there remains a separation of power between branches of government Ambition must be made to counteract ambition declared James Madison in the Federalist Papers Madison in his original draft of the Bill of Rights included a proposed amendment that would make the separation of powers explicit but this proposal was rejected primarily because his fellow members of Congress thought the separation of powers principle was obvious in the Constitution There was no way for them to read the future or predict the wholesale selling and buying of Congress a judiciary stacked with reactionary troglodytes from the Federalist Society and a largely brain dead public apparently more interested in Britney Spears lip sync concerts than preserving the Constitution let alone comprehending it Bush of course takes his marching orders from higher up on the food chain more specifically the World Economic Forum the club of billionaires and transnational corporations that meet annually in Davos Switzerland where they plot our future In January the Forum with numerous links to business networks policy makers and government NGOs and think tanks at the behest of Merrill Lynch Swiss Re and the Center for Risk Management and Decision Processes and Wharton School produced Global Risks 2007 a report containing various dire global risk scenarios including a full blown influenza pandemic with one million deaths worldwide Other possible global risk scenarios include international terrorism and climate change But what does all of this have to do with Bush and the National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive The Directive slipped out relatively unnoticed by the mainstream media yet it has important and positive implications for the future resiliency of public sector operations in the United States reports Continuity Central The concepts of a National Continuity Coordinator and a centrally directed National Continuity Implementation Plan are to be welcomed in principle and are something which other countries should look seriously at emulating Earlier in the year the World Economic Forum called for such a position to be set up in every government in its Global Risks 2007 report This championed the appointment of Country Risk Officers who would provide a focal point in government for mitigating global risks across departments learning from private sector approaches and escaping a silo based approach
