Mail this PageThousands of bureaucrats heading into bunkers on June 19. Any comment from the Zetas?
If it were not for the failed fake terrorism attempts made last week in DC and Toronto and London, resulting in the Rayburn Building shootout and
an apology issued when the operations in Toronto and London proved without cause, the Continuity of Government exercise would have had an
excuse. Without success in creating fake terrorism, the exercise looks on the face of it silly, and has come under ridicule in the press. Had the
terrorism operation succeeded to some degree, making it look like the East Coast could come under attack, disbursing government operations to
assure continuity would increasingly occur. If the continuity exercise runs into problems, moving all functions suddenly, then perhaps the answer is to
disburse ahead of time, at least to some degree. To what end?
The Bush administration has made no secret of its contempt for Congress, even writing Executive Orders replacing Congress with no more than a
dozen hand picked Bush cronies should Congress be unable to convene. Certainly, any oversight Congress tries to assert over Bush is treated with
disdain. The court system is also being bypassed, the hundreds of Signing Statements supposedly authorizing Bush to ignore the laws Congress put
into place his rationale for operating without judiciary oversight. Does Bush intend to move the government out of DC? Not at present, but by
setting up alternate sites, and getting the public used to the concept of alternate sites, he can gradually take over the functions of government outside
of the oversight of Congress or the courts, or so goes the logic. Command of the military already has an alternative to the Pentagon, in NORAD
located in Colorado. Would all of the government be so relocated and disbursed? The functions Bush cares little about, such as Health and Human
Services, would be ignored.
Units deemed necessary to enforce Martial Law would receive primary attention. We have stated that Bush attempts to invoke Martial Law would
be met by resistance in DC, challenged in Congress and argued in the courts. His hope is to divide and conquer, so isolated government units are
confused and cannot challenge orders given by Bush cronies. Executive Orders already exist to allow FEMA, under Homeland Security, to take
over the reigns of power in an emergency, but Katrina showed how poorly this would function. The Continuity of Government is not expected to be
a success, in fact, the size of the exercise is designed to make it fail. Expect to see Bush on the podium, concerned about government functioning in
the event of terrorism attacks. Expect Congress to resist disbursement. Expect a frustrated Bush to continue to attempt faked terrorism attacks.
Expect the increasing Earth changes to overtake these Bush plans so government functions without Bush, the decapitation complete.

- http://www.washingtonpost.com/ [Jun 4] On Monday, June 19, about 4,000 government workers representing more than 50 federal agencies from the State Department to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission will say goodbye to their families and set off for dozens of classified emergency facilities stretching from the Maryland and Virginia suburbs to the foothills of the Alleghenies. They will take to the bunkers in an "evacuation" that my sources describe as the largest "continuity of government" exercise ever conducted, a drill intended to prepare the U.S. government for an event even more catastrophic than the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Continuity programs began in the early 1950s, when President Harry S. Truman to begin planning for emergency government functions and civil defense.
