I read another article on WND this morning about the National Security Presidential Directive No. 51, and the Homeland Security Presidential Directive No. 20. They allocate to the office of the president the authority to direct all levels of government n the event he declares a national emergency. How scary is that? I looked up the Directive No. 51 and came up with an article on FourWinds10.com. Long article, but good read. http://www.fourwinds10.com/NewsServer/Arti...ArticleID=16027 Here is just one paragraph I found interesting: That is why “the Militia of the several States” are key to the reinvigoration of self-government in America at the present moment in the course of human events. That the Militia are the indispensable institutions of and for self-government is not simply the hobbyhorse of a lone commentator on NewsWithViews.com. No, indeed. The Constitution itself teaches that the Militia are “necessary to the security of a free State.” Even more tellingly, the Constitution says as much about no other institution or establishment of government. The Constitution never explicitly describes Congress, the President, or the Supreme Court as “necessary,” for any purpose. And certainly imaginable is that all of them could be completely disabled by a “terrorist” strike, some form of natural disaster that struck Washington, D.C., or an epidemic—leaving the country to fend for itself without their direction. Quite unimaginable, though, is what could disable all of “the Militia of the several States,” such that somewhere—indeed, most everywhere throughout the country—sufficient Militiamen would not remain to preserve the continuity of government and protect social order in their Local areas at least, without requiring any assistance whatsoever from the Disgrace of Columbia. You find comments about the directive almost at the end of the article. I couldn't find any more about these directives. Anyone have any info to share? |
