National Emergency
The following was published anonymously to one of the email forums I belong to. I thought it interesting enough to put here. I don't know who the author is.
I just finished a search of the federal register for the past two years. I wanted to compile a list of the declarations of national emergency that are on the books. This particular list is geared towards those emergencies that were in force and effect as of September 12th, 2001 (the day of the arrest) and also include a couple or three that immediately followed.
The issue here is that just about everyone reading this has lived all their lives in a perpetual state of national emergency. The first emergency that was on the books that is still in effect today is the one from March 6, 1933 by the Traitor FDR (Executive Proclamation 2038). Another one that is not included here is from December 16, 1950, Truman's declaration of emergency with respect to Korea. Neither of these two emergencies have been revoked by the POTUS.
See http://www.barefootsworld.net/war_ep.html
Along the way, CONgress wrote a "sunset" clause that stated that if an emergency was declared by the POTUS, that it would expire after two years, and then it had to be renewed. That is the bulk of what you find below. The other two emergencies noted above were grandfathered in and will not end without express revocation by the POTUS.
What does living in a state of national emergency mean? For example, I find in the Nevada Constitution at Article I, Section Sec. 11:
Right to keep and bear arms; civil power supreme.
1. Every citizen has the right to keep and bear arms for security and defense, for lawful hunting and recreational use and for other lawful purposes.
2. The military shall be subordinate to the civil power; No standing army shall be maintained by this State in time of peace, and in time of War, no appropriation for a standing army shall be for a longer time than two years.
No standing army shall be maintained in time of peace.
What in the heck is the Nevada State Police and the Police Units of the Metro areas? They are a standing army. Take a look at their authority and you will find they report to the governor, who is the commander in chief of the state armed forces.
If no standing army can be kept in time of peace, then we must be at war. Where is the evidence of that?
The War Powers Act of 1973 essentially grants to the POTUS the "power" to declare war. That is why there is no necessity for a declaration by CONgress. They have abdicated this responsibility. There is no War on Terror, because CONgress did not declare war. They delegated authority to the POTUS to do whatever he wants to do with it so that CONgress remains not responsible (or is it irresponsible?)
Anyway, here are the rest of the declarations of national emergency that are on the books that were in force and effect on September 12, 2001. There were three more added soon thereafter.
