remember snake Cheney's shadow govt. rotating in secret?

http://www.buzzflash.com/mailbag/05/11/mai05325.html

Subject: Maureen Farrell's Latest Entry

While I believe what Ms. Farrell is listing as facts, it would be more professional if she listed her source with each item. Then I would get everyone I know to contact their Congress person and demand to get rid of the 70-year-old Bush Regime and the KBR and Cheney.

A year ago, a concerned friend suggested I put JFK + 1963 + Bay of Pigs + George H. W. Bush in my search field. I did, and the results were detailed more than Ms. Farrell's entry and quite disturbing.

We have all forgotten after 9/11/01 that Cheney said there was a shadow government of individuals, not elected, rotating in hiding, waiting to take over the government in a big crisis if Bush was incapacitated.

1. I find it ironic that "Buzzflash Reader" did not footnote or provide a
source for the Cheney quote, right after chastising Ms. Farrell for not listing her sources.

3. How can I answer questions until I can judge the veracity of what
they are based on?

5. I remember this story - it was on CNN at least
but all over the news.

Naturally, Americans were too scared to balk as this was mere weeks after 9/11...

8. It's COG
Continuity of Government or (COP) Continuation of Operations Plan, based at a FEMA bunker at Mount Weather, Virginia. There used to be one in the basement of the Greenbriar Hotel for Congress, you can tour it now if you like. It was an old Cold War project. On the periphery of Washington D.C. there are countless old bunkers.

9. Since we don't know who's in this shadow government,
If and when there's a need for them to take over (heaven forbid), how do we know the people who'll take up the positions are the real 'backup government'?

and then ofcourse there's this other shadow government...

"Today the path to total dictatorship in the United States can be laid by strictly legal means, unseen and unheard by Congress, the President, or the people. Outwardly we have a Constitutional government. We have operating within our government and political system, another body representing another form of government, a bureacratic elite which believes our Constitution is outmoded and is sure that it is the winning side. All the strange developments in foreign policy agreements may be traced to this group who are going to make us over to suit their pleasure. This political action group has its own local political support organizations, its own pressure groups, its own vested interests, its foothold within our government, and its own propaganda apparatus."
-- Senator William Jenner, 1954

13. "The Secret Team" by L. Fletcher Prouty, 1973....
...the entire book can be found online at the link below:

The Secret Team.

The CIA and Its Allies in Control of the United
States and the World

L. FLETCHER PROUTY
Col., U.S. Air Force (Ret.)

Prouty was the Pentagon military interface/liaison with the CIA, and was also the Technical Director for Oliver Stone's movie "JFK". I'm convinced that he knew where ALL of the bodies were buried.

The "shadow government" has been around for a long time...since the end of WWII.
