DeFazio asks, but he's denied access
Classified info - The congressman wanted to see government plans for after a terror attack

WASHINGTON -- Oregonians called Peter DeFazio's office, worried there was a conspiracy buried in the classified portion of a White House plan for operating the government after a terrorist attack.

As a member of the U.S. House on the Homeland Security Committee, DeFazio, D-Ore., is permitted to enter a secure "bubbleroom" in the Capitol and examine classified material. So he asked the White House to see the secret documents.

On Wednesday, DeFazio got his answer: DENIED.

"I just can't believe they're going to deny a member of Congress the right of reviewing how they plan to conduct the government of the United States after a significant terrorist attack," DeFazio says.

Homeland Security Committee staffers told his office that the White House initially approved his request, but it was later quashed. DeFazio doesn't know who did it or why.

"We're talking about the continuity of the government of the United States of America," DeFazio says. "I would think that would be relevant to any member of Congress, let alone a member of the Homeland Security Committee."

1. Who heads the committee?

[CGowen]

2. Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS) is the chairman

3. He's not allowed to see the documents because it acknowledges

their attack hasn't been finalized yet.

[whistle]

4. In Germany immediately after the Reichstag Fire the communist party was banned

....and all liberal descent was subjected to gag rules while the constitutional rights of citizens were suspended. My guess is that BushCo is hiding the plan because it is identical to this plan and its various elements:

<snip>
On March 5th 1933 Herman Göring declared to the Reichstag that State governments were no longer necessary. State governments were indeed dismantled following a wave of chaos and violence instigated by Nazi provocateurs. The anarchy was quieted only after elected State governments were replaced by appointed Nazi Reich Commissioners.

Then, perhaps the most infamous piece of legislation in history, The Law for Terminating the Suffering of The People and Nation, also known as the Enabling Act was passed by the Nazi dominated Reichstag. It was this piece of legislation that granted to Adolph Hitler the dictatorial powers he used to wage imperial war on Europe and murder an estimated 6,000,000 people via eugenics extermination programs. None of this would have been possible without the manufactured crisis that was the Reichstag fire. <MORE>

The neocons and BushCo have nothing original in their thinking, IT HAS ALL HAPPENED BEFORE!

6. To your point that it has happened before...

I would also add that it was Prescott Bush who was helping to fund it.

From Wikipedia:

"On October 20, 1942, the U.S. government ordered the seizure of Nazi German banking operations in New York City. President Franklin Roosevelt's Alien Property Custodian, Leo T. Crowley, signed Vesting Order Number 248 seizing the property of Prescott Bush under the Trading with the Enemy Act. The order, published in obscure government record books and kept out of the news, cited only the Union Banking Corporation (UBC) connections with Von Thyssen."

[whistle]

7. Indeed and did Prescott Bush ever really stop the funding and support of Nazis?

[Vilis Veritas]

8. My answer would be no...

And I would not put it past PB to have brought some of Goebbels best and brightest over here after the war...I used to have a link...but lost it.

[whistle]

9. Leads me to wonder if Prescott was ever buried after his death or

...remains in suspended animation in a cryogenics facility with his body frozen in liquid nitrogen.

10. A link to one article...

There is more and I am digging...I am not so sure about the source for that link...'

And here is the namebase link for the name Vladimir Sokolov: http://www.namebase.org/main4/Vladimir-_28nazi_29-Sokolov.html

5. They don't intend to conduct the govt. of the US

They intend to supplant the government of the US entirely. What's not to believe, Congressman?

[Vilis Veritas]

11. Come on Congressman...what could there possibly be to see?

Nothing to see here...move along...move along.

12. I'm really interested in the NSPD 51 and PDD 67

In May Bush gave this order out

I would like to see the Plan which shall be submitted to the President not later than 90 days after May 9th.

(8) The National Continuity Coordinator, in consultation with the heads of appropriate executive departments and agencies, will lead the development of a National Continuity Implementation Plan (Plan), which shall include prioritized goals and objectives, a concept of operations, performance metrics by which to measure continuity readiness, procedures for continuity and incident management activities, and clear direction to executive department and agency continuity coordinators, as well as guidance to promote interoperability of Federal Government continuity programs and procedures with State, local, territorial, and tribal governments, and private sector owners and operators of critical ifrastructure, as appropriate. The Plan shall be submitted to the President for approval not later than 90 days after the date of this directive.

Interesting is that they revoke a 1998 order which is still secret (like fas claims) and the Annexes are secret as well

(22) Revocation. Presidential Decision Directive 67 of October 21, 1998 ("Enduring Constitutional Government and Continuity of Government Operations"), including all Annexes thereto, is hereby revoked.

(23) Annex A and the classified Continuity Annexes, attached hereto, are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this directive.

(24) Security. This directive and the information contained herein shall be protected from unauthorized disclosure, provided that, except for Annex A, the Annexes attached to this directive are classified and shall be accorded appropriate handling, consistent with applicable Executive Orders.

http://www.fas.org/irp/offdocs/pdd/pdd-67.htm

Presidential Decision Directive 67 (PDD 67), issued 21 October 1998, relates to enduring constitutional government, continuity of operations (COOP) planning, and continuity of government (COG) operations. The purpose of Enduring Constitutional Government (ECG), Continuity of Government (COG), and Continuity of Operations (COOP) is to ensure survival of a constitutional form of government and the continuity of essential Federal functions. Presidential Decision Directive 67 replaced the Bush Administration's NSD 69 "Enduring Constitutional Government" of 02 June 1992, which in turn succeeded NSD 37 "Enduring Constitutional Government" of 18 April 1990 and NSDD 55 "Enduring National Leadership" of 14 September 1982.

...

The April 1999 "Federal Response Plan" required te head of each Federal Department and agency shall ensure the continuity of essential functions in any national security emergency by providing for: succession to office and emergency delegation of authority in accordance with applicable law; safekeeping of essential resources, facilities, and records; and establishment of emergency operating capabilities.

The text of PDD-67 has not been released, and there is no White House Factsheet summarizing its provisions.
