FEMA - Federal Emergency Mangement Agency

FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY Some people have referred to it as the "secret government" of the United States. It is not an elected body, it does not involve itself in public disclosures, and it even has a quasi-secret budget in the billions of dollars. This government organization has more power than the President of the United States or the Congress, it has the power to suspend laws, move entire populations, arrest and detain citizens without a warrant and hold them without trial, it can seize property, food supplies, transportation systems, and can suspend the Constitution. Not only is it the most powerful entity in the United States, but it was not even created under Constitutional law by the Congress. It was a product of a Presidential Executive Order. No, it is not the U.S. Military nor the Central Intelligence Agency, they are subject to Congress. The organization is called FEMA, which stands for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Originally conceived in the Richard Nixon Administration, it was refined by President Jimmy Carter and given teeth in the Ronald Reagan and George Bush Administrations. FEMA had one original concept when it was created, to assure the survivability of the United States government in the event of a nuclear attack on this nation. It was also provided with the task of being a federal co-ordinating body during times of domestic disasters, such as earthquakes, floods and hurricanes. Its awesome powers grow under the tutelage of people like Lt. Col. Oliver North and General Richard Secord, the architects on the Iran-Contra scandal and the looting of America's savings and loan institutions. FEMA has even been given control of the State Defense Forces, a rag-tag, often considered neo-Nazi, civilian army that will substitute for the National Guard, if the Guard is called to duty overseas. THE MOST POWERFUL ORGANIZATION IN THE UNITED STATES Though it may be the most powerful organization in the United States, few people know it even exists. But it has crept into our private lives. Even mortgage papers contain FEMA's name in small print if the property in question is near a flood plain. FEMA was deeply involved in the Los Angeles riots and the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake in the San Francisco Bay Area. Some of the black helicopter traffic reported throughout the United States, but mainly in the West, California, Washington, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Colorado, are flown by FEMA personnel. FEMA has been given responsibility for many new disasters including urban forest fires, home heating emergencies, refugee situations, urban riots, and emergency planning for nuclear and toxic incidents. In the West, it works in conjunction with the Sixth Army. FEMA was created in a series of Executive Orders. A Presidential Executive Order, whether Constitutional or not, becomes law simply by its publication in the Federal Registry. Congress is by-passed. Executive Order Number 12148 created the Federal Emergency Management Agency that is to interface with the Department of Defense for civil defense planning and funding. An "emergency czar" was appointed. FEMA has only spent about 6 percent of its budget on national emergencies, the bulk of their funding has been used for the construction of secret underground facilities to assure continuity of government in case of a major emergency, foreign or domestic. Executive Order Number 12656 appointed the National Security Council as the principal body that should consider emergency powers. This allows the government to increase domestic intelligence and surveillance of U.S. citizens and would restrict the freedom of movement within the United States and grant the government the right to isolate large groups of civilians. The National Guard could be federalized to seal all borders and take control of U.S. air space and all ports of entry. Here are just a few Executive Orders associated with FEMA that would suspend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. These Executive Orders have been on record for nearly 30 years and could be enacted by the stroke of a Presidential pen: EXECUTIVE ORDER 10990 allows the government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports. EXECUTIVE ORDER 10995 allows the government to seize and control the communication media. EXECUTIVE ORDER 10997 allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels and minerals. EXECUTIVE ORDER 10998 allows the government to seize all means of transportation, including personal cars, trucks or vehicles of any kind and total control over all highways, seaports, and waterways. EXECUTIVE ORDER 10999 allows the government to take over all food resources and farms. EXECUTIVE ORDER 11000 allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision. EXECUTIVE ORDER 11001 allows the government to take over all health, education and welfare functions. EXECUTIVE ORDER 11002 designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons. EXECUTIVE ORDER 11003 allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft. EXECUTIVE ORDER 11004 allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate communities, build new housing with public funds, designate areas to be abandoned, and establish new locations for populations. EXECUTIVE ORDER 11005 allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways and public storage facilities. EXECUTIVE ORDER 11051 specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis. EXECUTIVE ORDER 11310 grants authority to the Department of Justice to enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute industrial support, to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President. EXECUTIVE ORDER 11049 assigns emergency preparedness function to federal departments and agencies, consolidating 21 operative Executive Orders issued over a fifteen year period. EXECUTIVE ORDER 11921 allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and distribution, of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit and the flow of money in U.S. financial institution in any undefined national emergency. It also provides that when a state of emergency is declared by the President, Congress cannot review the action for six months. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has broad powers in every aspect of the nation. General Frank Salzedo, chief of FEMA's Civil Security Division stated in a 1983 conference that he saw FEMA's role as a "new frontier in the protection of individual and governmental leaders from assassination, and of civil and military installations from sabotage and/or attack, as well as prevention of dissident groups from gaining access to U.S. opinion, or a global audience in times of crisis." FEMA's powers were consolidated by President Carter to incorporate: the National Security Act of 1947, which allows for the strategic relocation of industries, services, government and other essential economic activities, and to rationalize the requirements for manpower, resources and production facilities; the 1950 Defense Production Act, which gives the President sweeping powers over all aspects of the economy; the Act of August 29, 1916, which authorizes the Secretary of the Army, in time of war, to take possession of any transportation system for transporting troops, material, or any other purpose related to the emergency; and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which enables the President to seize the property of a foreign country or national. These powers were transferred to FEMA in a sweeping consolidation in 1979. HURRICANE ANDREW FOCUSED ATTENTION ON FEMA FEMA's deceptive role really did not come to light with much of the public until Hurricane Andrew smashed into the U.S. mainland. As Russell R. Dynes, director of the Disaster Research Center of the University of Delaware, wrote in The World and I, "...The eye of the political storm hovered over the Federal Emergency Management Agency. FEMA became a convenient target for criticism." Because FEMA was accused of dropping the ball in Florida, the media and Congress commenced to study this agency. What came out of the critical look was that FEMA was spending 12 times more for "black operations" than for disaster relief. It spent $1.3 billion building secret bunkers throughout the United States in anticipation of government disruption by foreign or domestic upheaval. Yet fewer than 20 members of Congress, only members with top security clearance, know of the $1.3 billion expenditure by FEMA for non-natural disaster situations. These few Congressional leaders state that FEMA has a "black curtain" around its operations. FEMA has worked on National Security programs since 1979, and its predecessor, the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency, has secretly spent millions of dollars before being merged into FEMA by President Carter in 1979. FEMA has developed 300 sophisticated mobile units that are capable of sustaining themselves for a month. The vehicles are located in five areas of the United States. They have tremendous communication systems and each contains a generator that would provide power to 120 homes each, but have never been used for disaster relief. FEMA's enormous powers can be triggered easily. In any form of domestic or foreign problem, perceived and not always actual, emergency powers can be enacted. The President of the United States now has broader powers to declare martial law, which activates FEMA's extraordinary powers. Martial law can be declared during time of increased tension overseas, economic problems within the United States, such as a depression, civil unrest, such as demonstrations or scenes like the Los Angeles riots, and in a drug crisis. These Presidential powers have increased with successive Crime Bills, particularly the 1991 and 1993 Crime Bills, which increase the power to suspend the rights guaranteed under the Constitution and to seize property of those suspected of being drug dealers, to individuals who participate in a public protest or demonstration. Under emergency plans already in existence, the power exists to suspend the Constitution and turn over the reigns of government to FEMA and appointing military commanders to run state and local governments. FEMA then would have the right to order the detention of anyone whom there is reasonable ground to believe will engage in, or probably conspire with others to engage in acts of espionage or sabotage. The plan also authorized the establishment of concentration camps for detaining the accused, but no trial. An Executive Order signed by then President Bush in 1989 authorized the Federal Emergency Management Agency to build 43 primary camps (having a capacity of 35,000 to 45,000 prisoners each) and also authorized hundreds of secondary facilities. It is interesting to note that several of these facilities can accommodate 100,000 prisoners. These facilities have been completed and many are already manned but as yet contain no prisoners. Three times since 1984, FEMA stood on the threshold of taking control of the nation. Once under President Reagan in 1984, and twice under President Bush in 1990 and 1992. But under those three scenarios, there was not a sufficient crisis to warrant risking martial law. Most experts on the subject of FEMA and Martial Law insisted that a crisis has to appear dangerous enough for the people of the United States before they would tolerate or accept complete government takeover. The typical crisis needed would be threat of imminent nuclear war, rioting in several U.S. cites simultaneously, a series of national disasters that affect widespread danger to the populous, massive terrorist attacks, a depression in which tens of millions are unemployed and without financial resources, or a major environmental disaster. THREE TIMES FEMA STOOD BY READY FOR EMERGENCY In April 1984, President Reagan signed Presidential Director Number 54 that allowed FEMA to engage in a secret national "readiness exercise" under the code name of REX 84. The exercise was to test FEMA's readiness to assume military authority in the event of a "State of Domestic National Emergency" concurrent with the launching of a direct United States military operation in Central America. The plan called for the deputation of U.S. military and National Guard units so that they could legally be used for domestic law enforcement. These units would be assigned to conduct sweeps and take into custody an estimated 400,000 undocumented Central American immigrants in the United States. The immigrants would be interned at 10 detention centers to be set up at military bases throughout the country. REX 84 was so highly guarded that special metal security doors were placed on the fifth floor of the FEMA building in Washington, D.C. Even long-standing employees of the Civil Defense of the Federal Executive Department possessing the highest possible security clearances were not being allowed through the newly installed metal security doors. Only personnel wearing a special red Christian cross or crucifix lapel pin were allowed into the premises. Lt. Col. North was responsible for drawing up the emergency plan, which U.S. Attorney General William French Smith opposed vehemently. The plan called for the suspension of the Constitution, turning control of the government over to FEMA, appointment of military commanders to run state and local governments and the declaration of Martial Law. The Presidential Executive Orders to support such a plan were already in place. The plan also advocated the rounding up and transfer to "assembly centers or relocation camps" of a least 21 million American Negroes in the event of massive rioting or disorder, not unlike the rounding up of the Jews in Nazi Germany in the 1930s. The second known time that FEMA stood by was in 1990 when Desert Storm was enacted. Prior to President Bush's invasion of Iraq, FEMA began to draft new legislation to increase its already formidable powers. One of the elements incorporated into the plan was to set up operations within any state or locality without the prior permission of local or state authorities. Such prior permission has always been required in the past. Much of the mechanism being set into place was in anticipation of the economic collapse of the Western World. The war with Iraq may have been conceived as a ploy to boost the bankrupt economy, but it only pushed the West into deeper recession. The third scenario for FEMA came with the Los Angeles riots after the Rodney King brutality verdict. Had the rioting spread to other cities, FEMA would have been empowered to step in. As it was, major rioting only occurred in the Los Angeles area, thus preventing a pretext for a FEMA response. On July 5, 1987, the Miami Herald published reports on FEMA's new goals. The goal was to suspend the Constitution in the event of a national crisis, such as nuclear war, violent and widespread internal dissent, or national opposition to a U.S. military invasion abroad. Lt. Col. North was the architect. National Security Directive Number 52 issued in August 1982, pertains to the "Use of National Guard Troops to Quell Disturbances." The crux of the problem is that FEMA has the power to turn the United States into a police state in time of a real crisis or a manufactured crisis. Lt. Col. North virtually established the apparatus for dictatorship. Only the criticism of the Attorney General prevented the plans from being adopted. But intelligence reports indicate that FEMA has a folder with 22 Executive Orders for the President to sign in case of an emergency. It is believed those Executive Orders contain the framework of North's concepts, delayed by criticism but never truly abandoned. The crisis, as the government now see it, is civil unrest. For generations, the government was concerned with nuclear war, but the violent and disruptive demonstrations that surrounded the Vietnam War era prompted President Nixon to change the direction of emergency powers from war time to times of domestic unrest. Diana Raynolds, program director of the Edward R. Murrow Center, summed up the dangers of FEMA today and the public reaction to Martial Law in a drug crisis: "It was James Madison's worst nightmare that a righteous faction would someday be strong enough to sweep away the Constitutional restraints designed by the framers to prevent the tyranny of centralized power, excessive privilege, an arbitrary governmental authority over the individual. These restraints, the balancing and checking of powers among branches and layers of government, and the civil guarantees, would be the first casualties in a drug-induced national security state with Reagan's Civil Emergency Preparedness unleashed. Nevertheless, there would be those who would welcome NSC (National Security Council) into the drug fray, believing that increasing state police powers to emergency levels is the only way left to fight American's enemy within. In the short run, a national security state would probably be a relief to those whose personal security and quality of life has been diminished by drugs or drug related crime. And, as the general public watches the progression of institutional chaos and social decay, they too may be willing to pay the ultimate price, one drug free America for 200 years of democracy." The first targets in any FEMA emergency would be Hispanics and Blacks, the FEMA orders call for them to be rounded up and detained. Tax protesters, demonstrators against government military intervention outside U.S. borders, and people who maintain weapons in their homes are also targets. Operation Trojan Horse is a program designed to learn the identity of potential opponents to martial law. The program lures potential protesters into public forums, conducted by a "hero" of the people who advocates survival training. The list of names gathered at such meetings and rallies are computerized and then targeted in case of an emergency. The most shining example of America to the world has been its peaceful transition of government from one administration to another. Despite crises of great magnitude, the United States has maintained its freedom and liberty. This nation now stands on the threshold of rule by non-elected people asserting non-Constitutional powers. Even Congress cannot review a Martial Law action until six months after it has been declared. For the first time in American history, the reigns of government would not be transferred from one elected element to another, but the Constitution, itself, can be suspended. The scenarios established to trigger FEMA into action are generally found in the society today, economic collapse, civil unrest, drug problems, terrorist attacks, and protests against American intervention in a foreign country. All these premises exist, it could only be a matter of time in which one of these triggers the entire emergency necessary to bring FEMA into action, and then it may be too late, because under the FEMA plan, there is no contingency by which Constitutional power is restored. SECRET UNDERGROUND BASES There have been documented over 60 secret underground virtual cities, built by the government, Federal Reserve Bank owners, and high ranking members of the Committee of 300. Some of these underground areas can be seen in Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas. In addition, there exist underground Satellite Tracking Facilities which have the ability to punch your 911 address into the computer and a satellite can within seconds bring a camera to bear on your property to the point that those monitoring can read clearly the articles of the newspaper on your doorstep. These facilities have as of Oct. 1, 1994, been turned over to the power of the United Nations.

Of course no one is considering who is behind everything that wants to control the world and force everyone to worship under this 2,000 year old institution which opposes the teachings of Christ, yet claims to be of the linage of the apostles. The Papacy is the most powerful political-religious force known to men, with more secrets then the most perplexing mysteries that have ever been filmed. The Jesuits, the enforcers for the Papacy and the Pope have been working behind the scenes to make New World Order possible while putting up a front of being peacable. Millions of people are anaware of the nature of this beast power which they serve. Pope Benedict has already declare that all other religions are not true Christians, but only Roman Catholics who participate in the Mass. In 1929 the Papacy was made a sovereign nation by the Lateran Concordat which was an agreement with Mussolini and Cardinal Gasparri as signers which gave new life to the Papacy which was thought to have been destroyed in 1798. In 1797 Pope Pius VI. fell greviously ill, Napoleon gave orders that in the event of his death no successor should be elected to his office, and that the Papcy should be discontinued. But the Pope recovered; the peace was soon broken; Berthier entered Rome on 10th February 1798 and was proclaimed a Republic.. The aged Pontiff refuesed to violate his oath by recognizing it, and was hurried from prison into France. Broken with Fatigue and sorrows, he died in captivity, inside the French fortress ofValence, at 82 years. No wonder that half of Europe thought Napoleon's veto would be obeyed and with that the Papacy was dead.
The Papacy also made a Concordat with Hitler in WWII that they would support the Nazi regime. At the time Joseph Ratzinger was a member of Hitler's youth and even into his late teens served as a gunner for an anti aircraft battery that would shoot down American and Brittish planes.

While the Papacy claims that the Pope is the Vicar of Christ and follows in the Apostles succession of Peter (whom they claim is the first Pope), the main difference between Jesus and the Pope is that Jesus made Christians of their own free will, throughout history, the Papacy has labled those who did not become Roman Catholics and members of the Roman Church as heretics, and millions upon millions of people have been put to death for not doing what these tyranical rulers demanded they do. So many innocent people who's only crime was to chose Jesus over the Pope, faced the true martyrs deaths. While the Papacy became wealthy over all the possesions that were seized for the Mother Church, from the slain. The Papacy has violated the commandment, "Thou shalt not kill", and convinced those who did the killing in the name of the Papacy were doing the very will of God. It is important to note, that while we currently enjoy seperation of Church and State, that it is very possible that Chuch and State will join forces to evangelize the world with the same force that would love to see our constitution dissapear so that there is only on Religion in all nations instead of the freedom to use ones own conscience in deciding for ourselves. When America falls and soon becomes the North American Union & our freedoms are no more, just remember there is no shame in serving Christ over serving a Church and you could possible be put to death for that. God be with us all.

What is FEMA role on UFO crisis? Is there a section in the manual that talks about in the event of UFOs sightings or attacks.

Kinda strange finding this thread on the 1st page for recent post considering it was created in 2004 and had no responses. Was even stranger seeing it after I just finished reading this..FEMA sources confirm coming Martial Law

I have absolutely no clue if it's a reputable source just happened across it.



Hmmmm.. says there are 4 replies but I only see mine. What gives?

Peace and Love

I guess I will sell my shotgun and consider buying a crossbow...I dont want to be on some one's "list".

Bump..... I think this needs to be read if you haven't already....This is pretty damn important but somehow it keeps getting buried. Read this so when it happens you don't say " when did this happen?... I didn't know they could do this?!?"

this is scary. But, I found something that seems a bit odd and I am not sure how it is related if it is at all even.

Anonymous comes online with their post of: phase two will be initiated in approximately 5 months.

Then I hear of FEMA's plan to initiate a nationwide test of the emergency alert system that will be happening in 5 months on November 11, 2011.

Then I do some research and I discover this:

November 9,1938 The worst Jewish pogrom in peacetime Germany took place as Nazi thugs led a "spontaneous" campaign of terror. During the night 267 synagogues were plundered, 7,500 shops were wrecked, 91 Jews were killed and 20,000 others were arrested and sent to concentration camps. It was afterward known as "Kristallnacht" because of the thousands of windows broken. Which came from this website

I did a little more digging and found that alot of terrible things seemed to have happened on that same day in other years. Maybe a coincidence but, something to think about. I also turned the date around to 9/11 of each year just to see what I would find and it seemed to be the same amount of bad stuff but, it is probably the same if you look on any date or day.

Wrong thread.

Seems everything is falling into place and what was once considered CT is now slipping in through the front door no longer disguised by the shadows.

We watched as Law enforcement and their entire gestalt was changed right before the public eye with shows that at one time seemed shocking, shows like COPS and the like along with the many Judge programs which slid the new regimes into peoples lives through Television programming.

Strange, your mentioning of tv programming. I just posted the following on thread titled:"Government Activating FEMA Camps Across U.S."

I nearly fell into the zink when 'Weakest Link' UK was on in the background while I washed the dishes.
Ann Robinson's question was something in the line of: "what M is the law called when a state is run by the military?"

Answer: "Martial Law."

The player got it right.

They are truly putting it out there. Making sure you are getting used to the idea.

Wow! I had to double check the OP's post date.

Bumpity-Bump.....This thread may be older than dirt,but it couldn't be more timely!!

This 'crying inside' is not about me.

I am preparing for a healing Mandala painting course and in my research work I came across a really good explanation on the way we percieve ourselves to be individuals. But as we are all connected by 'universal mind, the One, the Creator' or whatever name you would like to call that energy that runs through every living creature, that power which keeps everything going, we are all the same. We are One. This illustration was found in the works of Carl Jung. Bare with me, this is not off topic.


I am trying to fix this link to the image. However, Media is not working for me at the moment and is asking me to try angain later. Will return when the oven is hot enough to bake the cookies.
Oops, now I cant find the Media centre! previously used a link that took me there found from a search result. Please help? where is the media centre icon?

It is an illustration that resembles islands in the sea. Every island percieves itself to be unique, individual and standing alone. (Maya - illusion.) When one includes what is going on underneath the water (that area not percieved by man due to the fact that it is not visable in the material world, which lies in the world of energy, and is actaully more real in the physical world than matter itself, as matter disintergrates and energy does not) one can see that all the islands are connected by the same land. Of course it is also this energy that keeps matter in tact. So, now which is more real?

The implications of FEMA violating human rights, disregards what is good and true, and of a distructive nature to our growth, for us as a specie... FEMA is hurting a massive part of our 'collective being' - the US and this is extremely sad for the entire human specie and planet earth. This is evil personified, in action. If one concentrates (and visualises) on how it would be for the souls that are captured into these camps, the suffering and the agony, frustration and helplessness, then one tunes into that collective mind. Never mind what nationality you are.

But even if one is totally unaware of the disgusting thing called FEMA, still, as a human you will be affected. Because we are the same.

It makes me think of Nazi techniques, but more advanced. They have now learnt that it is vital to do this openly, not in secret. They are advertising it blatently in our faces.

For every action there is an equal but oppisite reaction. This is the world of duality. I that means that evil is growing itself into monster size, FEMA, then somewhere in the world there must be an equal amount of light activated. This is the only, no, THE ONLY consolation.

Pulling up my socks does not make it go away. Not for you, not for me.
