The Regime has tried to keep us in constant fear and the mainstream media is controlled by Regime supporters. Controlling the Homeland Security Advisory System color chart is a powerful function and it's come in handy for The Regime in the past. The Regime's media would gladly cover a "legitimate and imminent threat" of a terrorist attack on US soil in October or November of 2008.

The Regime can then place the nation under Martial Law and the Commander and Chief of the military can delay the election indefinitely to "protect the safety of the American people".

George W. Bush, The Regime's Front Man, and its leader, Dick Cheney, make reference to September 11, 2001 when that reference aids their cause. At times, they appear to be all too willing to stay in office well beyond January of 2009. Bush's recent statement that only he, not some future president, can successfully execute a conflict with Iran reinforces the idea of a "postponed" presidential election.

The following is the Definition of Martial Law
"Military rule or authority imposed on a civilian population when the civil authorities cannot maintain law and order, as in a time of war or during an emergency."

Using Executive Orders is not new to The Regime, but here are a few that may be utilized by The Regime after it declares Martial Law. These Executive Orders can be found in the House of Representatives Law Library.

Executive Order 10995: All communications media are to be seized by the Federal Government. Radio, TV, newspapers, CB, Ham, telephones, and the internet will be under federal control. Hence, the First Amendment will be suspended indefinitely.

Executive Order 10997: All electrical power, fuels, and all minerals will be seized by the federal government.

Executive Order 10998: All food resources, farms and farm equipment will be seized by the government.

Executive Order 10999: All modes of transportation will go into government control. Any vehicle can be seized.

Executive Order 11000: All civilians can be used for work under federal supervision.

Executive Order 11490: Establishes presidential control over all US citizens, businesses, and churches in time of "emergency."

Executive Order 12919: Directs various Cabinet officials to be constantly ready to take over virtually all aspects of the US economy during a State of National Emergency at the direction of the president.

One may say that this opinion serves to spread the kind of fear which we blame The Regime for spreading.

If The Regime can use fear to keep itself in power, either by skewing the truth or by abusing its present power to ensure the perpetuation of its "term", this article can serve as a reminder that too many Americans still adamantly support The Regime.

Hopefully, Congress and/or The Supreme Court will find the courage to confront The Regime if it tries to pull this off.
