1) 1982 Reagan exec order creates the "continuity of government" notion, which invented and established a plan for a secret government to step up in the case of nuclear apocalypse or alien invasion.(nk) First step in the COG: suspend the Constitution for the duration of the emergency.
2) The COG law was finally invoked the morning of 9/11 which established a COG level national emergency. A couple of weeks later the 900 page Patriot Act (COG in disguise, which Rummy and Snarl worked on perfecting for 20 years) is passed in the middle of the night.
3) the COG state of emergency has never been revoked. Congresspeople are refused access to info about the COG status. What more do you need?

(4,108 posts)COG I believe was just another component added to the secret "Shadow Government" which had already been in place for years. People have many different theories about it. I look at the conspiracies going back as far as the JFK assassination, the Gulf of Tonkin, MLK, RFK, COINTELPRO, the Chilean coup, Watergate, etc. leading up through things like John Lennon's murder, the October Surprise, CIA drug running, Iran Contra/Arms for Hostages/BCCI/Savings & Loans, the 2000 election coup, 9/11, Iraq, Wellstone, etc. I've seen many tie the Bush Crime Family to most if not all of it.
