Information on topic I am wary of this administration's policy. The policy of a shadow government would seem to be sound; however, this president has expressed desires which are contrary to our Constitution. Two Decembers ago, after winning the Supreme Court decision, Pres.-Elect Bush expressed in a press conference that he would be happy as a dictator in a dictatorship. I pray this desire of his is not entwined in the policy.

AIRC, he said that it would be SIMPLER if it was a dictatorship. Quite a difference.

I think there's limited use such a shadow government could do in such an event, anyway. Just lurking in the background going "nyah-hah, we're the secret real government and you don't know where we are!" isn't going to actually enable them to rule anything.

So they take some mid-high level bureaucrats and hide them in a hill just in case of the unlikely event that the entire 'real' government gets fragged.
It's not a 'shadow' government at all!
It's an EGH! "Please state the nature of the Federal emergency..."

Doesn't surprise me at all. At a State of the Union address at the end of the Gulf War, Daddy Bush said something about a "New World Order". And I read at abovetopsecret.com that the NWO uses people like Clinton or G.W to run America.

This sounds straight out of a Tom Clancy Novel. So what's next? The conquering of Canada as a terrorist nation?

I was skeptical, Jack, until I actually went to http://www.abovetopsecret.com . Holy shit! I can't believe there's so much evidence! To think I've happily gone to bed every night not considering stuff like that. We've all gotta be more vigilant and stuff! Woah.

Don't encourage them Jack, or they'll all start trying to be funny.

Actually, the NWO uses Hulk Hogan. Because you see, stuff, and, things. Yes.

HEY! I resent that remark! We are not a terrorist nation, and we are not a corrupt (well maybe a little), or illegitimate government that openly harbours terrorists.
