The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 358
The report goes on to state that a majority of Americans have lived their entire lives
under a state of national emergency and that during this time the powers of our Constitution have
been limited:
A majority of the people of the United States have lived all of their lives
under emergency rule. For 40 years [73 years as of 2006], freedoms and
governmental procedures guaranteed by the Constitution have, in varying degrees,
been abridged by laws brought into force by states of national emergency.

This is how Japanese American citizens were interned in concentration camps during
World War II. This is also why our young men are sent to fight in foreign lands when there has
been no war declared by Congress. And this is how the federal government has amassed such
power and gotten involved in almost every aspect of the lives of American citizens.
In 1933 Congressman Beck was very concerned over the powers the President would
receive if Congress declared a national emergency. He was concerned that it gave the same
powers to an American President as those Hitler had just received in Germany. Congressman
Beck’s statement follows from the Congressional Record:
I think of all the damnable heresies that have ever been suggested in
connection with the Constitution, the doctrine of emergency is the worst. It means
that when Congress declares an emergency, there is no Constitution. This means
its death. It is the very doctrine that the German chancellor is invoking today in
the dying hours of the parliamentary body of the German republic, namely, that
because of an emergency, it should grant to the German chancellor absolute
power to pass any law, even though the law contradicts the Constitution of the
German republic. Chancellor Hitler is at least frank about it. We pay the
Constitution lip-service, but the result is the same.

Congressional Concern
Congressman Beck was right the President has the power to pass almost any law he likes
through executive orders. Because Americans love freedom and are willing to make great
sacrifices to keep it, as was proven in World War I and II, the traitors who have occupied the
White House have been leery about taking away too much freedom at one time. They have
chosen a steady path that has continually eroded away our freedom and moved us down the path
to a Socialist one-world government. In exhibit 51 of Senate Report No. 53-549, Senator Frank
Church expresses the following concern: if the President can declare actions of the people of the
United States to be illegal without the approval of our representatives of Congress then there is
little difference between the US system of government and that of our Communist adversaries.
Senator Church’s states:
