           YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS COULD DISAPPEAR OVERNIGHT

                               By Mike Blair
                        Exclusive to The SPOTLIGHT


Washington, DC -- It is a frightening thought, but there are Executive
Orders (EOs) on the books that make it possible for a president to ignore
the Constitution and its cherished Bill of Rights, Congress, the judiciary
and the very will of the American people.

     It is a fact that a complete dictatorship can be imposed upon the
people at any time, simply by the president declaring a national emergency.

     During the 1950s and 1960s, it was believed that the best way to bring
about one-world government was by disarming the United States.  Those who
feared for America's Constitutionally guaranteed liberties, and rightfully
so, warned that America would be disarmed and would become easy prey for
the ever-expanding military power of the Soviet Union and Red China.

     They particularly opposed the powers of the Arms Control and
Disarmament Agency, established to disarm America.

     Now, however, with Eastern Europe shaking itself free from the
shackles of communism and those peoples exercising their nationalistic
yearnings, disarmament by both sides has become a necessity to cure social
ills plaguing the U.S. and former Soviet bloc countries.  With the apparent
failure of the Red military machine, the general movement has been toward
an easing of the arms race.

                              New Friendship

     From this newfound "friendship" with Eastern Europe and in particular
from the so-called multinational effort against Iraq in the Persian Gulf,
President George Bush rarely gives a speech or holds a press conference in
which he fails to mention his thoughts about a "New World Order."

     Now, however, a new method is needed to nullify America's treasured
Constitution and the insidious EOs have gained a new and even more
dangerous part to play in the plotting of the one worlders of the
Trilateralist-Bilderberger ilk.

     The biggest danger of such schemes as those proposed by Newt Gingrich
(R-Ga.) and Sen. Phil Gramm (R-Texas) is that any declared "national
emergencies" would allow the president to activate repressive EOs signed by
presidents going back to World War II.

     Here are some of the EOs involved:

   * EO 10995, which provides for the takeover of the communications media.
     In other words, forget about freedom of the press.

   * EO 10997, which provides for the takeover of all electric power,
     petroleum, gas and other fuels and minerals.

   * EO 10998, which provides for the takeover of all food resources and
     the nation's farms.

   * EO 10999, which provides for the takeover of all modes of
     transportation, control of highways, seaports, etc.

   * EO 11000, which provides for mobilization of all civilians into work
     brigades under government supervision.  In other words, slave labor.

   * EO 11001, which provides for government takeover of all health,
     education and welfare functions.

   * EO 11002 designates the postmaster general to operate a national
     registration of all persons.

   * EO 11003, which provides for the government to take over airports and
     aircraft.

   * EO 11004, which provides for the Housing and Finance Authority to
     relocate communities, designate areas to be abandoned and establish
     new locations for populations.

   * EO 11005, which provides for the government to take over railroads,
     inland waterways and public storage facilities.


     All of the above orders were combined by President Richard Nixon into
the notorious EO 11490 (pronounced EO eleven-4-9-oh), which allows all of
these insidious things to take place if a national emergency is ever
declared.

     Here are some direct quotes from the 40-page Nixon EO:  "Develop plans
and procedures for the Department of Defense utilization of non-industrial
facilities in the even of an emergency in order to reduce requirements for
new construction and to provide facilities in a minimum period of time ..."
-- in other words, the confiscation of private property.

     "Develop plans and procedures for the provision of logistical support
to members of foreign forces, their employees and dependents as may be
present in the United States under terms of bilateral or multilateral
agreements which authorize such support in the event of a national
emergency ..."

     In other words, prepare for the billeting of foreign troops in your
home, contrary to the Third Amendment.

     "Develop emergency plans for the control of alien enemies and _other
aliens_ within the United States ... . The location, restraint or custody
of aliens ..."

     "The Secretary of Labor shall have primary responsibility for
preparing national emergency plans and developing preparedness programs
covering civilian manpower resources."

     Preparations can be undertaken for forced labor.

     "Provision for regulation of money and credit in accordance with the
needs of the economy, including the acquisition, decentralization and
distribution of emergency supplies of currency; the collection of cash
items and non-cash items; and the conduct of fiscal agency and foreign
operations.

     "Provision for the continued or resumed operation of banking, savings
and loan, and farm credit institutions, including measures for the
recreation of evidence of assets or liabilities destroyed or inaccessible.

     "Regulation of the withdrawal of currency and the transfer of credits,
including deposit and share account balances."

     There are those naive souls who believe that fears of the United
States ever becoming a dictatorship are unwarranted.  From the above EO
signed by Nixon on October 28, 1969, the reader can judge for himself.

     Then along came President Jimmy Carter and EO 12148, titled the
Federal Emergency Management Act.  All prior EOs having anything to do with
emergency planning were incorporated into it.  This EO gives the president
absolute power during any "emergency," so declared by him.

     From Carter's machinations emerged a totally new bureaucracy, the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which assumed control of a
chain of older "emergency agencies," including the Federal Disaster
Insurance Assistance Administration, the Federal Insurance Administration,
the National Weather Service, the Federal Emergency Broadcast System and
about a dozen others.

     In an "emergency," FEMA was, through EO 12148, to virtually take over
the key functions of the national government by means of "senior
representatives" and "liaison agents" now positioned in every major
government agency.

     Incredibly, FEMA even has the power to assume the duties of the
president himself.

     FEMA, under its more innocent-appearing posture, is the organization
of the federal government that rushes in to administer federal aid and
assistance when a disaster strikes a community or state.

     Those who want to know the complete truth about its not-so-innocent
nature only need to peruse Carter's EO 12148, as it appeared on July 24,
1979, in the _Federal Register_, and as it was reprinted in the May 26,
1980 issue of The SPOTLIGHT.

     Finally, President Ronald Reagan updated this EO in his last full year
in office on November 18. 1988, leaving his successor, Bush, the tools to
create a dictatorship, his "New World Order."
