This is an excerpt from Chuck Baldwin's latest. My purpose is to see what others may have on the two presidential directives. I've been off for a while. I'm in Shanghai. Have tried to get news on shart wave, too. Nothing about the directives there.

“shart wave”? Are you Irish? LOL, it just struck me funny.

Dr. Jerry Corsi reports that President Bush has just signed a Presidential Directive that would give the President dictatorial powers should he decide to declare a "national emergency."

This should be corrected that by signing this he re-authorized this directive. The overall jist of the directive has been around for decades. The article is misleading to make it seem that this is a new 'power grab' by the President versus a necessary statute that all recent presidents have renewed.

I heard Corsi on Coast to Coast night before last. Sounds very bogus to me. An exampe: Corsi said no President had ever violated the Constitution except Lincoln. He made no mention of FDR and the Japanese internments. All this would all be out in a New York Minute if true. Clever propaganda directed to the ignorant masses.

Clinto signed some EO similar to this and everyone here was wondering what planned disaster he had up his sleeve LOL. I guess 9-11 came 10 months too late.

The directives are posted on the White House’s Web site:

Think about Katrina for a minute:

- You had an idiot Governor and an idiot Mayor REFUSE to cooperate with FEMA and the Red Cross.
- By refusing to allow the Feds to manage the National Guard and many other aspects of emergency management, you ended up with the mess that was Katrina.
