Subject: WHERE Are All the Rats Leaving the Sinking Ship Leaving TO?
http://newssophisticate.blogspot.com/2007/08/shadow-government-
continues-to-depart.html
"There exists a shadowy government with its own Air Force, its own
Navy,its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its
own ideas of national interest, free from all checks and balances,
and free from the law itself."
— Senator Daniel K. Inouye at the Iran Contra Hearings
Something doesn't seem right. Why are the Bush administration 'hot
shots' leaving him at such a critical point in the administration?
There is a strange departing from DC....as if the Shadow Government
is saying 'goodbye' to America for the last time.
Why 'goodbye'? They still have an election to subvert, a rare
chance to watch the economy self destruct, 2 continuous 'surges' in
Iraq and Afghanistan...an impending war with Iran. Surely their
loyalty for BushCo is stronger than 'lame duck presidency' worries.
They're the same players from different scandals. They always stick
around...they're the main characters in this tragedy.
All these presumed departures now led me back to a March 1, 2002
article in the Washington Post. The article detailed that BushCo
ordered 100 officials away from the Capitol to undisclosed bunkers
to ensure the survival of the US government after 9/11. Here are a
few exerpts:
Execution of the classified "Continuity of Operations Plan"
resulted not from the Cold War threat of intercontinental missiles,
the scenario rehearsed for decades, but from heightened fears that
the al Qaeda terrorist network might somehow obtain a portable
nuclear weapon, according to three officials with firsthand
knowledge. U.S. intelligence has no specific knowledge of such a
weapon, they said, but the risk is thought great enough to justify
the shadow government's disruption and expense.
Known internally as the COG, for "continuity of government," the
administration-in-waiting is an unannounced complement to the
acknowledged absence of Vice President Cheney from Washington for
much of the past five months. Cheney's survival ensures
constitutional succession, one official said, but "he can't run the
country by himself."
With a core group of federal managers alongside him, Cheney --or
President Bush, when available -- has the means to give effect to
his orders. Many departments, including Justice and Treasury, have
completed plans to delegate statutory powers to officials who would
not normally exercise them. Others do not need to make such legal
transfers, or are holding them in reserve.
Civilian departments have had parallel continuity-of-government
plans since the dawn of the nuclear age. But they never operated
routinely, seldom exercised, and were permitted to atrophy with the
end of the Cold War. Sept. 11 marked the first time, according to
Bush administration officials, that the government activated such a
plan.
What was missing, until Sept. 11, was an invulnerable group of
managers with the expertise and resources to administer these
programs in a national emergency.
The day after bombing began in Afghanistan, Bush created the Office
of Homeland Security with Executive Order 13228. Among the
responsibilities he gave its first director, former Pennsylvania
governor Tom Ridge, was to "review plans and preparations for
ensuring the continuity of the Federal Government in the event of a
terrorist attack that threatens the safety and security of the
United States Government or its leadership." read the article
In another relevent article in May 2007, "Bush changes Continuity
Plan" indicates the 'plan' is still under way and is being revised
due to increased 'chatter'. Some exerpts to read:
Designated National Security Presidential Directive 51 and Homeland
Security Presidential Directive 20., President Bush issued a formal
national security directive yesterday ordering agencies to prepare
contingency plans for a surprise, "decapitating" attack on the
federal government, and assigned responsibility for coordinating
such plans to the White House.
Other former Bush administration officials said the directive
formalizes a shift of authority away from the Department of
Homeland Security to the White House [alone]. The new directive
gives the job of coordinating policy to the president's assistant
for homeland security and counterterrorism, Frances Fragos Townsend
<almost Bush's Chief of Staff these days>.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff will continue to
coordinate operations and activities. Read the article
Eeeew .. scary .. the Shadow Government rises ... out of the ashes
of 9/11. Paired with the wide ranging executive orders and signing
statements, to use at moments notice, Bush has accured an arsenal
in his desk drawer.
If there is one thing that nobody can deny, it's that BushCo has
effectively politicized all branches of our government. The
judicial, legislative, and executive are all acting as one unit.
Cheney would call it the 4th Branch (We the People, call it
subversion).
....and now they say goodbye?
These guys don't protect themselves, they protect each other.
Think ... Cheney, Libby, Khalilzad, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld,
Gonzales .. you know .. our current core subverters. Our mainstream
press says they're running from the Bush legacy, but that's not the
case. The rewriting of history is already occurring now. Their
legacies have been intertwined for years. They're the same players
from different scandals....and now they go on the run?
Hmmm ... Convienient, but the historical record demonstrates they
stick together...subverting the system along the way.
Are they really leaving, or are they merely moving about with an
impending disaster in mind?
A US/Israeli airstrike on Iran is around the corner. International
chaos will arise. Asymetrical warfare will be used.
Into the 'dark ages we go'.
Meanwhile...they're running to their bunkers leaving US this mess
and saying their final 'goodbye'.
