Snip from Article:

Media intentionally blurs fact and fiction. But far from being a fantastic construct of Hollywood, FEMA is all too real. Some people refer to it as America's "secret government." It really does have more power than Congress or the President of the United States. It really can suspend laws. It can move entire populations. It can arrest and detain citizens without a warrant and hold them without trial. It can seize property, food supplies, transportation systems. It can, at will, suspend the Constitution. That is indeed worth thinking about, particularly these days.

Ronald Reagan was an asset within the C.I.A. , and a coup had occured within the C.I.A. which brought him into the presidential seat.

We do know at the time individuals such as Edward Teller had concluded America had lost the Cold War, and that having Ronald Reagan in office offered the nation the chance to reverse that loss.

I am not keen on that cell that activated for one thing it is infested with renegade spies. That is all very fine that the nation was able to eventually win the Cold War, but the day has passed and I'd like that cell to step down. It appears to me it then went on to tear a part this nation, and as we all know an increasing level of freedom and rights is being eroded and our Constitution, especially the Second Amendment, is being attacked by these self serving entities and their unpopular utopian plans.

I do think we have some reason for concern in America. I think what we have to be concerned about is coming from the heart of the CIA.

One very concerning thing came out during the Aldrich Ames case, and that is someone or something within the CIA consistently blocks the FBI counter intelligence division from investigating possible spies working for foreign intelligences in the CIA. The FBI has to fight against all odds to catch those who turned within the CIA. Why is the CIA so afraid of the FBI? Gotta wonder. Just gotta wonder.

When I stop to consider this thread in greater detail, it becomes apparent the bulk of the Fed alphabet soup should be viewed with a wary eye...the CIA, FBI, IRS, NSA, BATF, FEMA.....................
