Continuity of the US government … TOP SECRET!

Rep. Peter DeFazio gives a speech on the house floor to fellow members discussing the fact that Bush Administration has denied the entire Dept of Homeland Security Committee access to the so called detailed plans that the White House has drafted to ensure the continuity of government in case of a major terrorist attack.

Christopher Ketcham: The Last Roundup

RED: This is an incredibly important article–one of the most important we’ve posted. It’s long, thorough, historical, and frightening… Several links for other, related reading are at the end. . . .

For decades the federal government has been developing a highly classified plan that would override the Constitution in the event of a terrorist attack. Is it also compiling a secret enemies list of citizens who could face detention under martial law?

In the spring of 2007, a retired senior official in the U.S. Justice Department sat before Congress and told a story so odd and ominous, it could have sprung from the pages of a pulp political thriller. It was about a principled bureaucrat struggling to protect his country from a highly classified program with sinister implications. Rife with high drama, it included a car chase through the streets of Washington, D.C., and a tense meeting at the White House, where the president’s henchmen made the bureaucrat so nervous that he demanded a neutral witness be present.

Investigation into Whether America is Still a Constitutional Government

Investigation into Whether America is Still a Constitutional Government

George Washington’s Blog: Are We ALREADY Living in a Non-Constitutional COG America?

One of the top investigative journalists in the country, Larisa Alexandrovna (the lead journalist at Raw Story), says the following concerning her attempts to determine whether or not the U.S. is still officially in a state of emergency, such as would justify the continuition of Continuity of Government (COG) Plans implemented on 9/11:

“Well, I have called around… believe it or not, no seems to have an answer as to this simple question: ‘are we in a state of emergency?’ “

Keep in mind that Alexandrovna has broken many top stories, later picked up by the New York Times and other mainstream publications, and has developed a broad network of contacts. And yet she couldn’t find an answer. (…)

Video: COVER UP: Behind the Iran-Contra Affair

Svært tankevekkende. Fra 1988. Med blant annet Peter Dale Scott. Denne må ses!

(…)

According to many sources, it was Cheney – and not Bush – who authorized the shootdown of planes on 9/11. See, for example, this Washington Post story. Perhaps the reason that Cheney, and not Bush, authorized the shootdown was that Cheney became the head of the “shadow” government instituted on 9/11 under Continuity of Government measures. In other words, he became the real Commander-in-Chief of the COG government.

Peter Dale Scott: Congress, the Bush Administration and Continuity of Government Planning

Peter Dale Scott, CounterPunch.org: Congress, the Bush Administration and Continuity of Government Planning - The Showdown

In August 2007, Congressman Peter DeFazio, a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, told the House that he and the rest of his Committee had been barred from reviewing parts of National Security Presidential Directive 51, the White House supersecret plans to implement so-called “Continuity of Government” in the event of a mass terror attack or natural disaster. (1)

Norm Ornstein, of the conservative American Enterprise Institute, commented, “I cannot think of one good reason” for denial. Ornstein added, “I find it inexplicable and probably reflective of the usual, knee-jerk overextension of executive power that we see from this White House.” (2)

(…)

There is nothing wrong with disaster planning per se. Like all governments, the U.S. government must develop plans for the worst contingencies. But Congress has a right to be concerned about Continuity of Government (COG) plans refined by Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld over the past quarter century, which journalists have described as involving suspension of the constitution.

Noen viktige artikler om Halliburton, Iran, KBR, Dick Cheney & interneringsleire

Jeg kommer til å fokusere en del på Dick Cheney fremover, siden han synes å ha spilt en avgjørende rolle i 9/11-plottet. Stikkord: Halliburton, Continuity of Government (COG), preventiv internering …

Halliburton Charged with Selling Nuclear Technologies to Iran
According to journalist Jason Leopold, sources at former Cheney company Halliburton allege that, as recently as January of 2005, Halliburton sold key components for a nuclear reactor to an Iranian oil development company. Leopold says his Halliburton sources have intimate knowledge of the business dealings of both Halliburton and Oriental Oil Kish, one of Iran’s largest private oil companies.

Just good ol’ American politics:

Cheney’s Halliburton Stock Rose Over 3000 Percent Last Year
Vice President Dick Cheney’s stock options in Halliburton rose from $241,498 in 2004 to over $8 million in 2005, an increase of more than 3,000 percent, as Halliburton continues to rake in billions of dollars from no-bid/no-audit government contracts.

Homeland Security Contracts KBR to Build Detention Centers in the US
Halliburton’s subsidiary KBR (formerly Kellogg, Brown and Root) announced on January 24, 2006 that it had been awarded a $385 million contingency contract by the Department of Homeland Security to build detention camps in the United States.

Editor’s Note: A little-known $385 million contract for Halliburton subsidiary KBR to build detention facilities for “an emergency influx of immigrants” is another step down the Bush administration’s road toward martial law, the writer says.

“Almost certainly this is preparation for a roundup after the next 9/11 for Mid-Easterners, Muslims and possibly dissenters,” says Daniel Ellsberg, a former military analyst who in 1971 released the Pentagon Papers, the U.S. military’s account of its activities in Vietnam. “They’ve already done this on a smaller scale, with the ’special registration’ detentions of immigrant men from Muslim countries, and with Guantanamo.”

Viktig Peter Dale Scott-artikkel: Cheney-Rumsfeld Surveillance Plans Date Back to 1980s

Peter Dale Scott: Cheney-Rumsfeld Surveillance Plans Date Back to 1980s

Revelations that the National Security Agency (NSA) has engaged in warrantless eavesdropping in violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act prompted President Bush to admit last month that in 2002 he directly authorized the activity in the wake of 9/11.

But there are reasons to suspect that the illegal eavesdropping, and the related program of illegal detentions of U.S. citizens as well as foreign nationals, began earlier. Both may be part of what Vice President Dick Cheney has called the Bush administration’s restoration of “the legitimate authority of the presidency” — practices exercised by Nixon that were outlawed after Watergate.

In the 1980s Richard Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld discussed just such emergency surveillance and detention powers in a super-secret program that planned for what was euphemistically called “Continuity of Government” (COG) in the event of a nuclear disaster. (Emphasis added throughout)

Peter Dale Scott: Exclusive excerpt: The Road to 9/11: Wealth, Empire, and the Future of America

Terror, oil and the “shadow government”

In this exclusive excerpt from his powerful new book, The Road to 9/11: Wealth, Empire, and the Future of America (Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press), UC Berkeley professor emeritus Peter Dale Scott asks whether there is a connection between America’s historical use of terror as a political weapon and the recent moves by the Bush administration to suspend the Constitution and create a “shadow government” in the wake of the next terrorist attack: . . .

A Must See: Peter Dale Scott - Richard Cheney, Continuity of Government, and 9/11

Dette er hva jeg vil karakterisere “under 2 timer til 9/11-skeptisisme”. Veldokumentert, solid research - og veltalt. Kondensert foredragsversjon av to av kapitlene i boka “The Road to 9/11” (University of California Press, 2007).

Peter Dale Scott bygger en overbevisende sak mot Dick Cheney, og forsåvidt mot 9/11-kommisjonens rapport. Ikke en sak for rettssalen, men en som presser på for at Cheney må forklare seg under ed - for første gang - om sine bevegelser på 9/11. Scotts hovedtese er at Rumsfeld, Cheney og Bush implementerte “COG” (Continuity of Government - eller “Change of Government”, som Scott mer korrekt benevner det) mens nasjonen var under angrep, og at dette er en viktig brikke i 9/11-puslespillet. Det er ingen tvil om at COG ble iverksatt. Washington Post kalte det de facto “skyggemyndigheter”! Fotnoter finnes i transkriptet/artikkelen under.

Peter Dale Scott - Richard Cheney, Continuity of Government, and 9/11

“The 9/11 Commission Report is an example of concerted cover-up, partly by omissions, and just as importantly by its cherry-picking of evidence to create impressions that are in fact authoritatively disputed, and in some cases probably not true. There are many examples of cherry-picking and contrived simulations of fact. More importantly, there is a consistent pattern in this: to minimize Cheney’s responsibility for what happened that day.”

9/11 Commission Deception, Cheney’s Actions on 9/11, and
Why He Should Testify Under Oath

http://journalof911studies.com/volume/2007/ProfScottWhyCheneyMustTestify.pdf

Continuity of Government Measures WERE Implemented on 9/11 . . . Were They EVER Revoked?

George Washington’s Blog: Continuity of Government Measures WERE Implemented on 9/11 . . . Were They EVER Revoked?

Continuity of Government (”COG”) measures were implemented on 9/11. For example, according to the 9/11 Commission Report, at page 38:

“At 9:59, an Air Force lieutenant colonel working in the White House Military Office joined the conference and stated he had just talked to Deputy National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley. The White House requested (1) the implementation of continuity of government measures, (2) fighter escorts for Air Force One, and (3) a fighter combat air patrol over Washington, D.C.”

(…)

You might assume that the COG measures ceased soon after 9/11. However, CNN reports that — 6 months later –

Because Bush has decided to leave the operation in place, agencies including the White House and top civilian Cabinet departments have rotated personnel involved, and are discussing ways to staff such a contingency operation under the assumption it will be in place indefinitely, this official said.

Similarly, the Washington Post stated in March 2002 that “the shadow government has evolved into an indefinite precaution.” . . . (Emphasis added)
