"Final Warning" by Grant R. Jeffrey, Copyright c 1996; Published by Harvest House Publishers, Eugene, Oregon 97402, Pages 134-138 The President's Powers: Some writers have questioned how America could relinguish her soverignty and join the coming world government in light of the constitutional safeguards that were created by the founding dathers. However, since World War II, the U.S. Congress has passed a number of laws giving the president awesome executive powers that grant him sole control of the government and military forces in the event of nuclear war or some other national emergency. In such situations, it is obvious that the president needs legal authority to direct and control the resources of the nation to protect its citizens. However, these executive orders are a loaded gun that a future president could use to legally establish a dictatorship that brings America to join a world government. Some people have suggested that an "emergency" could be created in the future as an excuse to enact legislation that Congress would never pass in normal times. The range of dictatorial powers available to a president during a declared national emergency are equal to or greater than the legal powers that were held by Adoph Hitler or Joseph Stalin during their dictatorships. The legislation allows a president to suspend the Constitution and exercise these powers whenever he alone determines that the nation faces a "national emergency." The term "national emergency" is not defined by the laws in question. It is left solely to the president to determine when a national emergency exists. The following are just a few of the national security laws that a president could exercise during a national emergency without any further reference to Congress: #10995: Seizure of all print and electronic communications media in the United States. #10997: Seizure of all electric power, fuels, and minerals, public and private. #10998: Seizure of food supplies and resources, public and private, including farms and equipment. #10999: Seizure of all means of transportation, including cars, trucks or any other vehicles, including control over highways, harbors, and waterways. #11000: Seizure of all American people for work forces under federal supervision; it allows the government to split up families if they believe it is necessary. #11001: Seizure of all health, education and welfare facilities, public and private. #11002: Registration by the Postmaster General of all men, women, and children for government service. #11003: Seizure of all airports and aircraft. #11004: Seizure of all housing and finance authorities; authority to establish forced relocation and to designate areas that must be abandoned as "unsafe." Establishment of new locations for population groups, building of new housing on public land. #11005: Seizure of all railroads, inland waterways, and storage warehouses, public and private. #11051: Authorize the Office of Emergency Planning to put the above order into effect in times of increased international tension or financial crisis. Please note that these draconian dictatorial powers can be legally invoked by the president alone whenever he feels there is a time of increased international tension or financial crisis. Every western democracy has similar laws that were set up to provide for the continuity of government in the event of a nuclear war. In both Canada and the United Kingdom, these laws are called Orders in Council and were passed secretly by the Privy Council under the authority of the prime minister. The Washington Report recently pointed out that Operation Dragnet can be implemented under the McCarran Act-Title II. Under this legislation the president can legally suspend the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights with a single phone call and impose martial law. A number of reliable sources have reported that U.S. government agencies have accumulated the names of over one million American citizens in a high-speed Univac computer in Washington as possible targets for arrest during a future time of national emergency. Some sources suggest these lists contain names of prominent Christians and other patriots who have publicly expressed concerns about the move toward the New World Order. Federal agencies could quickly arrest the people named on these lists and hold them in detention camps. Numerous sources confirm that such detention camps exist in several states. These camps may be connected to President Reagan's "Rex 84" national security program, which created eleven federal detention centers in Florida, Virginia, Georgia, New York, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arkansas, Arizona, and California. Numerous confidential sources have confirmed that National Guard units and regular army units are training - in mock-ups of American cities, which are built on large army bases - to attack, seize, and complete door-to-door searches for weapons. A former special-forces officer told me that his unit was training in a live ammunition drill on a firing range recently. During the exercise, agents from the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Agency, who were using the next firing range, began to quietly interview the troops. These agents asked repeatedly if the soldiers would be willing to serve in a future multijurisdictional task force that would seize weapons from Americans. Incredibly, they asked a number of soldiers if they would be willing to shoot their fellow Americans if they resisted surrendering their weapons. Another soldier told me that a similar written questionnaire was handed out to soldiers at a military base in the South.
