That declaration of a "pandemic emergency," requiring no evidence of proof and with data being manipulated, suddenly brings to life all the horrors people feared under Homeland Security and Bush's presidential orders. The Constitution could this way be rendered obsolete.

Keep in mind FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover classic quote:

"The individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous that he cannot believe it exists."

Also keep in mind Adolph Hitler's perverse comment:

"It gives us a very special, secret pleasure to see how unaware the people around us are of what is really happening to them."

Consider also the National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive that addresses the issue of continuity of government in the event of a "catastrophic emergency" that disrupts the U.S. population, economy, environment, infrastructure and government policy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_and_Homeland_Security_Presidential_Directive

From this link:

"This presidential directive says that, when the president considers an emergency to have occurred, an "Enduring Constitutional Government" comprising "a cooperative effort among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the Federal Government, coordinated by the President," will take the place of the nation's regular government, presumably without the oversight of Congress.[3] Conservative activist Jerome Corsi and Marjorie Cohn of the National Lawyers Guild have said that this is a violation of the Constitution of the United States in that the three branches of government are separate and equal, with no single branch coordinating the others.[4][5] The directive, created by the president, claims that the president has the power to declare a catastrophic emergency. It does not specify who has the power to declare the emergency over.
