Bush Makes Power Grab

The following was published at http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=55824

President Bush, without so much as issuing a press statement, on May 9 signed a directive that granted near dictatorial powers to the office of the president in the event of a national emergency declared by the president.

The "National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive," with the dual designation of NSPD-51, as a National Security Presidential Directive, and HSPD-20, as a Homeland Security Presidential Directive, establishes under the office of president a new National Continuity Coordinator.

That job, as the document describes, is to make plans for "National Essential Functions" of all federal, state, local, territorial, and tribal governments, as well as private sector organizations to continue functioning under the president's directives in the event of a national emergency.

The directive loosely defines "catastrophic emergency" as "any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions."

New Police Quote

"In my personal experience, police seem like aggressive bullies with an inferiority complex who over-compensate by abusing their power. Police don't protect us from victimization. They use 'victimless crimes' as an excuse to victimize us." -Scott Hughes, Police Allegedly Used Excessive Force Against Anti-Poverty Group
