Basically, one needs to understand that documents like these have two aspects to them that a court finds applicable. The first is the actual
words used, the second is
intent. For this reason I understand how some people have suggested that it is OK, or that it is nothing new and therefore nothing to be afraid of, and on the other hand, the Tin-Foil-Hat-People, myself included, who read not the words so much as the
intent.
This "Federal Memo" (for lack of a better terminology) was written by Elitists and polished by Lawyers. Each Article overlaps the next and at the same time enhances unknown Federal Powers, but lacks from where these Federal Powers emanate. This "Memo" if unchallenged become Law the same way that the Federal Income Tax "Law" became "Law", by not ever having been challenged.
The fact that the Constitution is mentioned in the 3rd Article and not the first already had me on my toes. It also has shown
intent by writing "...
our form of Government under the Constitution...", it goes on, in that same Article (3) "...and the continuing performance of National Essential Functions
under all conditions", which means what? How would a court friendly with the powers-to-be define this?
For those that aren't convinced, Article 5 continues in the same manner with 5(c) being less important than 5(a) and 5(b). 11(c) overthrows your confidentiality and allows Michael Chertoff (a dual citizen?) to sieze all firearm records.
Nowhere is the Unites States Congress or Senate mentioned, nor are the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but Michael Chertoff is mentioned EVERYWHERE, and he is involved in everything from Military, to Legal to foreign and Domestic.
Article 22 says it all, "(22) Revocation. Presidential Decision Directive 67 of October 21, 1998 ("Enduring Constitutional Government and Continuity of Government Operations"), including all Annexes thereto,
is hereby revoked.
This is the main intent and its precise wording of Directive 67, "...is to ensure survival of a constitutional form of government and the continuity of essential Federal functions", note that the term Constitutional was written before the word Federal in the Presidential Directive that Michael Chertoff wants to revoke?

“Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.” Thomas Paine
“That government is best which governs least.” Thomas Paine
I think it is fair to say that this document is written in a manner to take precedent over the Constitution and to confuse any that try to oppose it. It is an ominous document which reveals the true mindset of a government that fears it's constituents, and
that, scares the living daylights out of me.
Watch Jerusalem to understand the politics this document represents (Pharisees and Saducees of old are reincarnated in a modern Israel where Zionism is misunderstood to be a Judaic concept, misunderstood especially by those Jews and Christians faithful to the Bible) when all it is, is a concept of corruption which led to the destruction of the Temple's and the scattering of the Jews, Hebrews and Israelites amongst the Nations. Today's Jerusalem, has no Constitution, nor does it follow the Biblical Laws, in fact, it villifies the Bible just as many of our own Liberals do, this is where we are heading too as one can plainly see here. Both the
symbolic removal of the Ten Commandments from Court lawns, and the
symbolic removal of Pledging Allegiance to The Flag leads us to
Laws and away from Justice via the Constitution.
These are the words:
I Pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for All.
This is the intent:
I Promise to be faithful and true to the emblem that stands for and represents all 50 states, each of them individual, and individually represented on the flag yet formed into a UNION of one Nation. And I also pledge my loyalty to the Government that is itself a Republic, a form of government where the PEOPLE are sovereign, this government also being represented by the Flag to which I promise loyalty. These 50 individual states are united as a single Republic under the Divine providence of God, "our most powerful source" (according to the words of President Eisenhower) and can not be separated. (This part of the original version of the pledge was written just 50 years after the beginning of the Civil War and demonstrates the unity sought in the years after that divisive period in our history). The people of this Nation being afforded the freedom to pursue "life, liberty, and happiness",
And each person entitled to be treated justly, fairly, and according to proper law and principle, And these principles afforded to EVERY AMERICAN, regardless of race, religion, color, creed, or any other criteria. Just as the flag represents 50 individual states that can not be divided or separated, this Nation represents millions of people who can not be separated or divided.
