Backbone of Hidden Government
Subversion of the Balance of Power
The plan to suspend the Constitution and declare martial law
It could probably be shown by facts and figures
that there is no distinctly native
American criminal class except Congress,
Mark Twain, 1885
THE BALANCE OF POWER
When our forefathers wrote the Constitution of these United States
they provided safeguards against despotism by providing a balance of
power. The Constitution was set up to provide clear divisions of Legislative,
Judicial, and Executive powers. It was believed that this system
would ensure that if one branch got out of hand the other two would act to
keep the one in check. This balance of power was predicated upon the
assumption that none of the three branches could or would infringe upon
the power of the others.
The Constitution is clear on the functions of each of the branches. The
Legislative will make the laws. The Judicial will interpret the law. The
Executive will decide policy and enforce the law. This, of course, is the
simplest of explanations, but this is not a textbook on government. My
intent is to acquaint you with simple basics of the balance of power so that
you can then understand how it has been subverted.
The Legislature (Congress in the form of the House and Senate) is
required to publish the laws that are made, and this is done in the Congres
sional Record and the Federal Register. Pending or passed legislation can
be obtained by citizens through their Congressmen or from the Government
Printing Office. Citizens cannot be held responsible for the law if it is
not made available to them.
It is paradoxical that the government body most representative of the
American citizen is the one that has been the most easily subverted.
Through PACs, payoffs, pork-barrel politics, professional politicians, Congressmen
who are members of secret societies and through greed and fear,
our Representatives and Senators quit representing us long ago.
Congress has tremendous powers but fails in most cases to exercise
even a token amount. How is it that our Legislature has allowed and at
times encouraged the Executive branch to write law? You probably did not
know that the President and others in the Executive branch of the government
can and do write law. This is done in the form of Presidential
Executive orders, National Security Council memos, National Security
Decision directives, and National Security directives.
NSC memos were broad policy papers in the days after passage of the
National Security Act. NSC memos became narrower and more specific
over the years, and the name has varied. Under Kennedy they were called
National Security Action Memorandums. President Bush has changed the
name to National Security Directives.
There is a tremendous difference between Presidential Executive orders,
NSC memos, and National Security Decision directives. Presidential
Executive orders are listed in the Federal Register or Presidential Findings,
which are made known to the House and Senate Intelligence Committees.
The most important difference between the Presidential Executive orders
and all of the others, no matter what they are called, is that the others do
not have to be reported, reviewed, made available to anyone, or even
acknowledged that they exist.
There is no oversight whatsoever that could maintain a check on the
legality of these National Security directives. The President and others
within the Executive branch have used these supersecret directives to skirt
the balance of power and write law without anyone's knowledge. Justification
of the President's power to write law through Executive orders
stems from the failure of the Government to rescind the declaration of
martial law during the Civil War. In effect, the United States has been
under martial law ever since Lincoln's administration.
These NSDs are powerful, hidden, and dangerous tools. They were
prolific during the Reagan administration: over 300 were written, with no
more than 50 ever leaking out to undergo public scrutiny. Yet most Americans
have never heard of these subversive weapons. They are being used
to destroy our Constitution. I believe that everyone should know about
this corruption of government.
Congress has turned a blind eye to these abuses of executive power.
At 3:30 a.m. Saturday, August 4,1990, the Senate made it even easier for the
Executive branch to subvert the Constitution and may have made George
Bush the first American king. At that time on that day, a minority of United
States senators, maybe ten at the most, passed Senate Intelligence Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 1991 (S.B. 2834). This bill will fundamentally
change our constitutional system and threatens to destroy the very foundations
of our great nation. Since attention has been focused upon the Middle
East crisis, the public and most Congressmen know absolutely nothing
about this bill.
The bill was fraudulently introduced as a reform to prevent future
incidents of the abuses brought to light during the Iran-Contra scandal.
Instead of preventing future abuses, however, it virtually authorizes essentially
every abuse. The bill was carefully brought to a vote by Senator Sam
Nunn in the dead of night when the opposition was gone. It effectively
transfers most authority over the United States government directly into
the hands of George Bush and thus directly into the hands of the Secret
Government.
The President (presently George Bush) was given the power to initiate
war, appropriate public funds, define foreign policy goals, and decide whatis important to our national security. . In "Oversight of Intelligence Activities," Tide VII, S.B. 2834 authorizes the following:Gives the president power to initiate covert actions (this has neverbefore been given to the President); prevents Congress from stopping thePresident's initiation of covert actions; allows the President to use anyfederal ''departments, agencies, or entities'' to operate or finance a covertoperation; empowers the President to use any other nation or privatecontractor or person to fund or operate a covert action; redefines covertactions as operations "necessary to support foreign policy objectives of theUnited States," a definition that is so vague and broad as to be essentiallyunlimited; for the first time officially claims the right of the United States tosecretly interfere in the internal "political, economic, or military affairs" ofother countries in direct and flagrant violation of international law; requiresthat the President prepare and deliver a written finding to theIntelligence committees of the Congress but allows the President to omit"extremely sensitive matters" and authorizes the President to claim executiveprivilege if Congress asks too many questions.There are no penalties in the bill for violating any of its provisions,including the provision requiring a finding. Why should there be? Thisbill has literally handed the power of all the branches of government to thePresident on a silver platter. President Bush is now truly American KingGeorge the First. S.B. 2834 gives Bush the power to use any agency orbranch of the government and any appropriated funds from any agency orbranch of the government for covert action even if they were never appropriatedfor that purpose. The bill effectively prevents any oversight byanyone and allows the Executive branch to skirt the law and to escapeaccountability. This will be done using National Security directives. A fewexamples of past NSD directives that have come to light will help youunderstand the seriousness of the matter. They will be listed in the followingparagraphs under the heading of the subject matter of the NSDDs:NSDD 84: SAFEGUARDING NATIONAL SECURITY INFORMATION[SECRECY], 3/11/83 (Declassified in full). SUBJECT: This directivedrastically expands restrictions on government employees' freedom ofspeech. Those with access to classified information were required to sign anondisclosure agreement; those with access to a special category of classifiedinformation were made to agree to prepublication review of anyfuture writings. The use of polygraphs was authorized. PURPOSE: Preventdisclosure of information that could damage national security. CONSEQUENCES:The polygraph requirement was rescinded due toCongressional opposition. Secrecy restrictions were imposed on more than4 million government employees and CONTRACTORS for more than fiftyexecutive agencies. Many reporters' contacts were shut down. Government employees' unions and members of Congress sued to protect therights of whistleblowers, and the Supreme Court recently sent the caseback to the district level for review.Author's Note: NSDD 84 indicates that John Lear, Robert Lazar, BruceMacabbee, Stanton Friedman, Clifford Stone, and many others may be activegovernment agents. They were all working in government jobs or for governmentcontractors and all of them were subject to this executive order. NSDD84 was not used to silence them, which seems to indicate that they hadexecutive approval in each and every instance.NSDD 17: DETERRING CUBAN MODELS/COVERT ACTION INNICARAGUA, 11/23/81 (Classified). SUBJECT: The Central IntelligenceAgency was given authority to create the contras and "work with foreigngovernments as appropriate" to undermine the Sandinista government ofNicaragua. PURPOSE: To stop the flow of arms from Cuban and Nicaraguansources to the Salvadoran rebels. CONSEQUENCES: The C.I.A. wasgiven $19 million to assemble and arm a force of 500 contras to join with1000 exiles already being trained by Argentina. Scores of operatives arrivedin Honduras; arms shipments from Miami began. The contra warwas set in motion.NSDD 77: MANAGEMENT OF PUBLIC DIPLOMACY RELATIVETO NATIONAL SECURITY, 1/14/83 (Declassified in full). SUBJECT: Thisdirective set up several planning groups to conduct "public diplomacyactivities." It ordered "organizational support for foreign governmentsand private groups to encourage the growth of democratic political institutionsand practices." PURPOSE: To mobilize international and domesticsupport for "our national security objectives." CONSEQUENCES:Created propaganda ministries in the National Security Council, the StateDepartment and the White House that concentrated on, in the words of theNSC staff member in charge of the program, "gluing black hats on theSandinistas and white hats on UNO" (the contras' United NicaraguanOpposition). Stories were planted in the press; journalists were pressured.The General Accounting Office later found that these activities violated thelaw banning "covert propaganda" inside the United States. How manyother covert propaganda programs do you think are operating against theAmerican Citizens? I can assure you that there are many more than youwould ever believe.NSDD 138: INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM, 4/3/84 (Classified).SUBJECT: This directive endorsed the principle of preemptive strikes andretaliatory raids against terrorists and called on 26 Federal agencies torecommend specific measures to combat terrorism. PURPOSE: To lesseninternational terrorism and free U.S. hostages in Lebanon. While this NSDdirective pretends to be concerned about international terrorism, it is reallya thinly disguised authorization of preemptive strikes and retaliatory raidsagainst patriots in this country. When FEMA is activated, patriots will berounded up in the dead of night, most likely on a national holiday such asThanksgiving. Government agents and law-enforcement officers in everycity across the nation have received antiterrorist training under this NSDDdirective, and I can assure you the target is patriots. CONSEQUENCES:Set up the Terrorist Incident Working Group under North in the NSC. Itsfirst major action was the interception and capture of the Achille Laurohijackers, which gave North's career an important boost.Either NSDD 138 or a subsequent NSD directive on terrorismauthorized the training of three Lebanese units for preemptive strikes.When problems arose, Director of Central Intelligence William Casey tookthat operation off the books and enlisted Saudi Arabian help in an attemptto assassinate the head of Hezbollah. A resulting car bombing killed abouteighty in Beirut; Sheik Fadlallah, the target was unhurt. The U.S. military,along with civilian law-enforcement teams, conducted joint antiterroristtraining across America. To allay public fears the participants wore civilianclothing.NSD directives have become the de facto legislative vehicle of thenational security state. It has become known through the research of SusanFitzgerald, a research consultant at the Fund for Constitutional Governmentin Washington who has collected declassified NSD directives, thatmany were released without the White House letterhead at the top of thepage and without the President's signature at the bottom. This, she speculates,is to conceal the fact that the signatures on some of them would revealthat they had been made by autopen, not by Ronald Reagan's own hand.That should give you a taste of what we are up against. Please understandthat virtually all but a very few NSD directives still remain classified, andunless the public forces disclosure their effect will probably never beknown.Somewhere within the volumes of secret NSD directives there is a planto suspend the Constitution of the United States of America. The existenceof this plan surfaced during the Iran-Contra hearings. Congressman JackBrooks (D), Texas, attempted to bring it into the open. When he asked Col.North directly if North had ever helped draft a plan to suspend the Constitution,Brooks was silenced by the committee chairman Senator DanielK. Inouye (D), Hawaii. Senator Inouye stated that the subject dealt withnational security, and any questions regarding the matter could be broughtup during a closed-door session. We never learned the outcome. I wouldlike to know who gave anyone, in any branch of government, with anytitle, the right to suspend the Constitution at any time, for any reason,under any conditions?I believe the plan to suspend the Constitution is directly tied to theunderground facility called Mount Weather and to the Federal EmergencyManagement Agency (FEMA). Mount Weather is so shrouded in secrecythat 99.9% of Americans have never heard of it. FEMA, however, isanother story. Remember Hurricane Hugo? Remember the federal agency(FEMA) that was sent to handle the emergency and was thrown out by thecitizens because of gross incompetence? FEMA was incompetent, because"emergency management" is just a guise for its real purpose, which is totake over local, state, and federal government in case of a national emergency.The only way FEMA could do such a thing is if the ConstitutionWere suspended and martial law were to be declared. Therefore its veryexistence is proof positive that a plan to suspend the Constitution does in fact exist.
MOUNT WEATHER
Just outside of a sleepy little town called Bluemont, Virginia, about 46
miles west of Washington D.C., is an area of wilderness covering what has
been called the toughest granite rock in the eastern United States. The area
is surrounded by signs marked "Restricted Area" and "This installation
has been declared a restricted area....Unauthorized entry is prohibited."
Other signs state: "All persons and vehicles entering hereon are liable to
search. Photographing, making notes, drawings, maps or graphic representations
of this area or its activities is prohibited. Such material found in
the possession of unauthorized persons will be confiscated. Internal Security
Act of 1950." The installation is beneath a mountain and its name is the
Western Virginia Office of Controlled Conflict Operations. Its nickname is
Mount Weather. It was ordered to be built by the Federal Civil Defense
Administration, which is now the Federal Preparedness Agency.
Mount Weather was designed in the early '50s as part of a civil defense
program to house and protect the Executive branch of the Federal government.
The official name was "The Continuity of Government Program."
Congress has repeatedly tried to discover the real purpose of Mount
Weather, but so far has been unable to find out ANYTHING about the
secret installation. Retired Air Force General Leslie W. Bray, director of the
Federal Preparedness Agency, told the Senate Subcommittee on Constitutional
Rights in September 1975: "I am not at liberty to describe precisely
what is the role and the mission and the capability that we have at Mount
Weather or at any other precise location."
In June 1975, Senator John Tunney (D), California, chairman of the
Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights, charged that Mount Weather held
dossiers on at least 100,000 Americans. He later alleged that the Mount
Weather computers, described as "the best in the world," can obtain millions
of pieces of additional information on the personal lives of American
citizens simply by tapping the data stored at any of the other 96 Federal
Relocation Centers.
I know from my stint with the Office of Naval Intelligence that these
dossiers consist of information collected about American patriots, men and
women who are most likely to resist the destruction of our Constitution
and the formation of the totalitarian police state under the New World
Order. The patriot data bank is constantly updated so that when the
appointed hour arrives all patriots can be rounded up with little if any
effort. The plan calls for this to be accomplished in the dead of night on a
national holiday. The most likely holiday is Thanksgiving, when everyone,
no matter the religion, race, or creed, will be at home. The targets will be
ripe for the picking after a heavy meal, maybe some alcoholic beverages,
and during a deep sleep. There is a traitor in the patriot movement who
provides the Secret Government with accurate names and addresses of
patriots who will fight to protect and defend the Constitution.
MY RECOMMENDATION IS THAT NO PATRIOT SHOULD EVER
BE AT HOME OR AT THE HOME OF ANY FAMILY MEMBER ON ANY
HOUDAY EVER AGAIN UNTIL THE TRAITORS HAVE BEEN HUNG
AND THE CONSTITUTION RESTORED AS THE SUPREME LAW OF
THE LAND.
Some sources state that Mount Weather is virtually an underground
city complete with dormitories, private apartments, streets, sidewalks,
cafeterias, hospitals, water-purification systems, power plant, office buildings,
a lake fed by fresh water from underground springs, a mass-transit
system, and many other astounding things.
Several disturbing facts emerge when one researches Mount Weather.
One is the conclusion that a complete parallel government exists at the site.
Nine Federal departments exist there — Agriculture, Commerce, HEW,
HUD, Interior, Labor, State, Transportation, and the Treasury. Apparently
at least five Federal agencies are also in residence: FCC, Selective Service,
Federal Power Commission, Civil Service Commission, and the Veterans
Administration. Two privately owned corporations have offices at Mount
Weather: the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Post Office. There is also an
Office of the Presidency. What makes all this upsetting is that there is a
President and a complete set of cabinet officers in residence at Mount
Weather. Who are they and who appointed them? Where is such a thing
provided for in the Constitution of the United States of America?
Mount Weather is the operational center — the hub — of over 96 other
underground Federal Relocation Centers scattered across the United
States. The majority of these appear to be concentrated in Pennsylvania,
Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina. Each of these
facilities contains computer data banks holding information — not on
enemy agents, Soviet diplomats, or suspected terrorists but on American
citizens, patriots. A list of other files kept at the facilities was furnished to
the Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights in 1975. The list included
"military installations, government facilities, communications, transportation,
energy and power, agriculture, manufacturing, wholesale and retail
services, manpower, financial, medical and educational institutions, sanitary
facilities, population, housing shelter, and stockpiles."
The committee concluded that these data bases "operate with few, if
any, safeguards or guidelines." Senator James Abourzek (D), South
Dakota, a member of the subcommittee, said, "I feel the entire operation
has eluded the supervision of either Congress or the courts." Chairman
Tunney said, "Mount Weather is out of control." Nothing was done by
Congress to rectify the situation, however, and Mount Weather remains out
of control.
Former high-level officials from Mount Weather agree that the base at
Mount Weather is much more than any standby government facility or
storage center for the preservation of records; they describe it as an ACTUAL
GOVERNMENT-IN-WAITING. "We do not merely store essential
information; the facility attempts to duplicate the vital functions of the
Executive branch of the Administration." As stated above, according to my
research, this includes a President and all Cabinet members actually in
residence. Protocol even demands that subordinates address them as "Mr.
President" or "Mr. Secretary." Most of these mysterious appointees have
held their positions through several administrations. "We just act on the
orders of the President in national emergencies," said one former Mount
Weather official.
The FPA in its 1974 Annual Report stated that "Studies conducted at
Mount Weather involve the control and management of domestic political
unrest where there are material shortages (such as food riots) or in strike
situations where the FPA determines that there are industrial disruptions
and other domestic resource crises." The report states that the bureaucracy
at Mount Weather invokes what it calls "Civil Crisis Management."
Officials who were at Mount Weather and who have furnished us with
data say that during the 1960s the complex was actually prepared to
assume certain governmental powers at the time of the 1961 Cuban missilecrisis and the assassination of President Kennedy In 1963. The source saidthat the installation used the tools of its "Civil Crisis Management" programon a standby basis during the 1967 and 1968 urban riots and during anumber of national antiwar demonstrations against the administration bythe American people.Daniel J. Cronin, who was the assistant director for the FPA, outlineda massive surveillance and manipulation program that is directed againstthe American population on a continuing basis. The FPA has organized animpressive armament of resources and equipment. Mr. Cronin describedin an interview his agency's attitude toward its wide-ranging surveillanceprogram. "We try to monitor situations," he said, "and get to them beforethey become emergencies....No expense is spared in the monitoring program."He cited reconnaissance satellites, local and state police intelligencereports, and law-enforcement agencies of the Federal government asexamples of the resources available to the FPA for information-gathering.The only document that I was able to find that attempts to outlinesome of the statutory authority of Mount Weather is Executive Order11490. It was drafted by Gen. George A. Lincoln, former director for theOffice of Emergency Preparedness (preceded FPA) and was signed into lawby President Nixon in October 1969. Executive Order 11490 supersededExecutive Order 11051, signed on October 2,1962, by President Kennedy.Kennedy's order used the language, "Whereas, national preparednessmust be achieved—as may be required to deal with increases in internationaltension with limited war, or with general war including attack upon theUnited States..." Nixon's order began: "Whereas our national security isdependent upon our ability to assure continuity of government, at everylevel, in any national emergency type situation that might conceivablyconfront the nation..." Nixon has deleted any reference to "war," "imminentattack," and "general war" from the order and replaced them withthe phrase "during any emergency that might CONCEIVABLY occur."Nixon's order, which is the one in effect today, allows the governmentin the form of FEMA to suspend the Constitution for literally any reasonthey decide to call a national emergency. I CANNOT FIND A PLAN OREXECUTIVE ORDER ANYWHERE WHICH OUTLINES ANY PROCEDUREOR ALLOWANCE FOR THE RESTORATION OF THE CONSTITUTIONAFTER A NATIONAL EMERGENCY HAS ENDED. THIS LEADSTO THE OBVIOUS CONCLUSION THAT NO RESTORATION OF THECONSTITUTION IS CONTEMPLATED OR DESIRED BY THOSE INPOWER.In 1975, Senator Tunney expressed concern, "We know, from whatwe've heard in the press, that 15,000 names were being maintained by theFBI for detention in an emergency...We also know that the IRS had its fileson individual taxpayers. We know that the CIA had their OperationCHAOS and that the NSA has the records of conversations that have beenintercepted electronically. My question is this: Is there anyone like yourself,General Bray, that is in control of the overall access to this data if it ismaintained in a relocation site? And your answer, as I understood it, isno.'' Tunney continued: "General Bray, I must say that I still don't knowwho's in control of these relocation centers....You say you don't have thatknowledge and still we don't know from the...three witnesses that we hadhere today, that they had information as to who has control of thosecenters.""I am not at liberty," Bray answered, "to describe precisely what is therole and the mission and the capability that we have at Mount Weather, orat any other precise location." I firmly believe that our Continuity ofGovernment program has not provided continuity at all, but has been theinstrument for discontinuing open and democratic government, and thatthe very program designed to protect Americans has actually been turnedagainst us.
