Documents Reveal Secret US Plans For Apocalyptic Scenarios When President May Activate Wartime Powers for National Security Emergencies

Newly disclosed documents obtained by the New York Times reveal secret US plans for ‘apocalyptic’ scenarios when a president may activate wartime powers.

The documents – known as presidential emergency action documents – were provided to the New York Times by the Brennan Center for Justice after it gathered the materials from the Bush presidential library under the Freedom of Information Act.

Only 500 pages were disclosed to the Brennan Center for Justice – 6,000 classified pages were withheld.

“The newly disclosed documents show that there were 48 of the directives when the Bush administration took office; by 2008, that number had grown to 56. Vice President Dick Cheney’s office was involved in reviewing and “clearing” the orders. The documents do not indicate any consultation with Congress.” The Times reported.

“Several of the files, provided to The New York Times by the Brennan Center for Justice, show that the Bush-era effort partly focused on a law that permits the president to take over or shut down communications networks in wartime. That suggests the government may have developed or revised such an order in light of the explosive growth in the 1990s of the consumer internet.” The Times reported.

Let me guess. The power mad politicians who would be wielding these draconian powers would be the very same politicians who “declare” the “emergency.”

If course they would, and to them, a national emergency, is when a parent protests a democrat school board.

Stable Genius should have used some of these before and after the election to dump all the contents of the laptop for all to see. A national address on every possible cable channel with pictures of Hunter and underage girls and all the traitorous deals with China should have given him free reign to Dark MAGA the country into a cleansing period which would have saved us from what we are going to face very soon.

We know that the SOP for government agents is to immediately march into a kill zone, stand around and await further orders.
