AnotherDayInTheEmpire: "It is hardly surprising not a single corporate newspaper reported the death of the Constitution. Of course, another death blow to the Constitution, already long on life support, is hardly news. Few understand we now live in a dictatorship, or maybe it should be called a decidership.
The Bush administration has released a directive called the National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive. The directive released on May 9th, 2007 has gone almost unnoticed by the mainstream and alternative media. This is understandable considering the huge Ron Paul and immigration news but this story is equally as huge. In this directive, Bush declares that in the event of a 'Catastrophic Emergency' the President will be entrusted with leading the activities to ensure constitutional government. The language in this directive would in effect make the President a dictator in the case of such an emergency,' writes Lee Rogers for Global Research. 'The language written in the directive is disturbing because it doesn't say that the President will work with the other branches of government equally to ensure a constitutional government is protected. It says clearly that there will be a cooperative effort among the three branches that will be coordinated by the President. If the President is coordinating these efforts it effectively puts him in charge of every branch. The language in the directive is entirely Orwellian in nature making it seem that it is a cooperative effort between all three branches but than it says that the President is in charge of the cooperative effort."
TimesOnline: "New anti-terrorism laws are to be pushed through before Tony Blair leaves office giving 'wartime' powers to the police to stop and question people.
John Reid, the home secretary, who is also quitting next month, intends to extend Northern Ireland's draconian police powers to interrogate individuals about who they are, where they have been and where they are going.
Under the new laws, police will not need to suspect that a crime has taken place and can use the power to gain information about 'matters relevant' to terror investigations.
If suspects fail to stop or refuse to answer questions, they could be charged with a criminal offence and fined up to £5,000. Police already have the power to stop and search people but they have no right to ask for their identity and movements."
If there is no war or emergency situation the powers that be will create one. It has been clear from the beginning that the 'war on terror' is not working, and in fact is a hoax to increase surveillance of the population who in the future will be subjected to ever more stringent measures, harassment and abuse on all levels (including health care, employment etc.).
What Bush and Blair are preparing is a kind of national socialism in which the corporations have for the most part replaced the government. And to keep the population - who will revolt - in check more police powers are needed.
What we are witnessing now is a total failure of the wars Bush and Blair are fighting. Their 'war on terror' will be disastrous as well.
What we need is the arrest of those in power who have lied to us, who have committed war crimes and continue to erode our Constitutions and liberties. Our situation is very reminiscent of that in Germany in the 1930s.
Instead of stopping and searching innocent people, the police should stop and arrest those who have knowingly and willingly violated national and international laws and started wars on the basis of lies.
