FEMA stands for the "Federal Emergency Management Agency." It isn't
an elected body, it has a quasi-secret budget in the billions of
dollars, and it has more power than the president of the United
States -- it is the most powerful organization in the United States
and most people don't even know it exists.

It was originally created to insure the survival of the U.S.
government in the event of a nuclear attack. It was also provided
the task of being a federal coordinating body during times of
domestic disasters, such as earthquakes and hurricanes.

But it wasn't created under Constitutional law or an act of
Congress, it was created by EXECUTIVE ORDER.

There was an Act, called the "Emergency Management Act" that was
passed in 1935. This act says that the President can issue
Executive Orders in times of National Emergency. Since that time,
we have *always* had a declared state of "National Emergency" in the
United States, even though you didn't know it. You can find these
"declarations of National Emergency" in the Combined Federal
Register and the records of Congress. We are in one right now. Many
Executive Orders have been issued since then. The order inacting
FEMA is one of them. Since only Congress has the authority to
appropriate funds, the Executive Order creating this agency is
unconstitutional or, at best, it should have remained unfunded.]

An Executive Order, whether Constitutional or not, becomes effective
upon publication in the Federal Register. Congress is by-passed.

General Richard Secord and Lt. Col. Oliver North who orchestrated
the Iran-Contra operation that smuggled in weapons and cocaine to
this country, using our CIA and US Air Force to do it, was in charge
of FEMA for several years, during which it grew into the monster it
is today.

Some of the black helicopter traffic reported throughout the United
States are flown by FEMA personnel. FEMA has been given
responsibility for many new disasters, in addition to floods,
hurricanes, and earthquakes, including: urban forest fires, home
heating emergencies, refugee situations, urban riots, and emergency
planning for nuclear and toxic incidences.

In the West, FEMA works "in conjunction with" the 6th Army.

FEMA has only spent about 6% 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" and to build prisons
and "holding facilties" under the designation of "refugee
facilities" (which have never been used for holding refugees).
