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 about6
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 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 preventionof
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 ofa
foreign country or national. These powers were transferred to FEMA in a
sweeping consolidation in 1979.
