FINAL WARNING: Financial Background
Enemy Act, defined the Enemy as someone “other than citizens of the
United States...” and in 1933, according to Chapter 106, Section 5,
subdivision (b), the Act designated as the Enemy “any person within
the United States.”
America was under the authority of an emergency war government.
According to the book Constitution: Fact or Fiction by Dr. Eugene
Schroder (with Micki Nellis), our Constitution was actually nullified on
March 9, 1933, when President Franklin Roosevelt declared a national
emergency. As recorded in Congressional Record in 1933, Rep. James
Buck said: “...the doctrine of emergency is the worst. It means that
when Congress declares an emergency, there is no Constitution. This
means it’s dead.” Senate Report 93-549 (Senate Resolution 9, 93rd
Congress, 1st Session) in 1973 said that since 1933 “the United States
has been in a state of declared national emergency ... A majority of the
people of the United States have lived all their lives under emergency
rule. For 40 years freedoms and governmental procedures guaranteed
by the Constitution have, in varying degrees, been abridged by laws
brought into force by states of national emergency...” The Act was
never repealed after the World War II, because Roosevelt died; and
Truman used the extraordinary powers he gained through the rewriting
of the War Powers Act to establish the National Security infrastructure,
which included the C.I.A.
The “national emergency” technically ended on September 14, 1976,
when the 93rd Congress passed H.R. 3884, the National Emergencies
Termination Act (50 USC 1601, Public Law 94-412) in response to
President Richard Nixon’s abuse of the Trading with the Enemy Act
(which was part of Roosevelt’s emergency legislation). Though he had
promised an end to the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, he
actually escalated the war by authorizing the secret bombing of
Cambodia. And then later, in December, 1972, Nixon ordered American
B-52’s to drop over 36,000 tons of bombs over Haiphong and Hanoi.
Congress then appointed the Special Committee on the Termination of
the National Emergency, headed by Sen. Frank Church (D-ID), who
began having hearings in July, 1973. Even though it appeared that the
emergency legislation was repealed, the last paragraph said that it
didn’t apply to any “authorities under the act of October 6, 1917, as
amended.”
