New directives coming from the White House garner little mainstream attention

So here is a 10 minute video from CSPAN with an overview of some recent White House actions.

It is an interview with conservative activist Jerome Corsi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

YouTube - George Bush's Power Grab: Authorizes Martial Law Provisions
YouTube Video
ERROR: If you can see this, then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed.


Seems overall pretty disturbing... this White House seems to want to do everything in its power to bypass the legislature and the people whenever possible.

Bush Re-Authorizes Martial Law Provisions
Americans have officially been living under a dictatorship since at least 1933


President George W. Bush has sparked much alarm by openly declaring himself to be a dictator in the event of a national emergency under new provisions that will effectively nullify the U.S. constitution, but such an infrastructure has been in place for over 70 years and this merely represents a re-authorization of the infrastructure of martial law.


New legislation signed on May 9, 2007, declares that in the event of a "catastrophic event", the President can take total control over the government and the country, bypassing all other levels of government at the state, federal, local, territorial and tribal levels, and thus ensuring total unprecedented dictatorial power......



"Since March 9, 1933, the United States has been in a state of declared national emergency. In fact, there are now in effect four presidentially-proclaimed states of national emergency: In addition to the national emergency declared by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933, there are also the national emergency proclaimed by President Harry S. Truman on December 16, 1950, during the Korean conflict, and the states of national emergency declared by President Richard M. Nixon on March 23, 1970, and August 15, 1971."
