Following outrage and controversy last year over the Obama administration’s unprecedented decision to
invite Russian troops for terror drills on U.S. soil,
the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is now under fire
for signing more agreements to “cooperate” with Vladimir Putin’s Russian
“Emergencies Ministry” (EMERCOM) in a wide array of fields. Among the
controversial deals outlined in an official Russian
press release:
exchanging of “experts” and “experience,” “provision of security at
mass events,” and “cooperation in disaster response operations.” Critics
of the scheme reacted with a mixture of fury and deep concerns.
After
the news was picked up in the alternative media, it quickly went viral,
stirring widespread fears that Russian forces could be deployed inside
the United States under the bogus guise of “security.” Officials from
both governments rushed to deny the speculation, trying to downplay the
agreements as merely routine international collaboration. However, it
remains unclear why the American people would need or want any sort of
“assistance” from the Russian government, which, despite the
supposed fall of communist tyranny, is still widely regarded as a lawless gangster regime.
According
to government press releases and statements by officials, the latest
agreement between the Department of Homeland Security’s FEMA and the
Russian Emergency Situations Ministry provides for “expert cooperation
in disaster response operations” and further “study” of latest
practices. “In addition, the parties approved of U.S.-Russian
cooperation in this field in 2013-2014, which envisages exchange of
experience including in monitoring and forecasting emergency situations,
training of rescuers, development of mine-rescuing and provision of
security at mass events,” continued a
statement
released by EMERCOM after the summit, adding that the level of
cooperation between the two governments would continue to develop.
Apparently,
protecting the planet from potential threats from space was on the
agenda as well. "We have decided that the U.S. Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) and Russia's Emergencies Ministry will work
together to develop systems to protect people and territory from cosmic
impacts,"
claimed
Russian “Emergencies Minister” Vladimir Puchkov in a statement to
journalists. "I believe we can make a technological breakthrough in this
area if the Emergencies Ministry and FEMA supervise this project,
attracting the finest minds and research groups including in Canada,
Europe, China, and Southeast Asia."
The extra-constitutional
“agreements” were inked late last month in Washington, D.C., at the
fourth annual meeting of the so-called “
U.S.-Russia Bilateral Presidential Commission Working Group on Emergency Situations.” The shady outfit, formed under the Obama administration, is one of
almost two dozen similar “working groups” bringing
together top U.S. and Russian officials. The bodies are cooperating on
everything from the drug war and agriculture to terror, science, “rule
of law,” health, environment, energy, nuclear issues, education,
culture, media, business, arms control, and more, according to the U.S.
State Department. The Senate has not ratified any of the international
deals, as required by the Constitution.
“The [Emergency
Situations] Working Group promotes enhanced U.S.-Russia cooperation in
the field of emergency management,” the State Department
says
online about its controversial scheme. “In partnership with a wide
range of U.S. and Russian agencies, including the Russian Ministry of
Foreign Affairs and EMERCOM, the U.S. Departments of State, Homeland
Security, Defense, FEMA, and the U.S. Agency for International
Development (USAID) have conducted many joint-exercises, exchanges, and
conferences with the goal of sharing best practices and improving
emergency response capabilities.”
News about the most recent round of agreements between FEMA and EMERCOM first went viral after being
reported
by the alternative site Infowars, which has readership numbers that
dwarf more than a few establishment media sources. Citing the EMERCOM
government press release, reporter Paul Joseph Watson said the
agreements suggested that some major public events in the United States
could rely in part on authorities from Russia to provide security. As
the report pointed out, that would be a violation of federal law — not
to mention the Constitution.
Commenting on the FEMA deal with Russian authorities, popular conservative talk-radio host Michael Savage
called for the arrest of
responsible U.S. officials. “You know who FEMA is — don't you? — the
people with the camps ready for you," he said on July 1, also suggesting
that Russian troops would be providing “security” at events in the
United States in violation of Posse Comitatus restrictions. Throughout
the segment on the U.S.-Russia agreements, Savage continually referred
to the Obama administration as a criminal regime that needed to be
stopped.
“Many people fear that this government is getting
ready for some major action against the people, they think that this
gang that targeted its political enemies through the IRS and the NSA is
getting ready to use foreign troops on our soil who will not hesitate to
shoot to kill," he continued. “This is illegal. Whoever signed it for
the U.S. government should go to prison... This is what's emerged under
this criminal administration... Obama is a gangster — he's running the
country like he's a gangster commander."
The New American
reached out to FEMA and other relevant U.S. agencies for comment
through multiple channels, but officials did not respond to repeated
requests. Instead, a spokesman for FEMA tried to downplay the bilateral
“agreements” in a statement offered to Kremlin-funded media outlets,
saying there would be "no exchange of security or military personnel"
under the latest bilateral arrangement. "The agreement continues
information-sharing meetings and observation opportunities with first
responders and emergency managers," the unidentified FEMA spokesman
claimed, adding that the dubious “partnership” between U.S. and Russian authorities existed for 17 years.
In
the 1950s, congressional investigator Norman Dodd was tasked with
investigating the subversive activities of major tax-exempt foundations.
As part of the project, Dodd
said
he spoke with Ford Foundation President Rowan Gaither, who reportedly
told him that the immensely powerful institutions were working under
White House directives. “The substance of the directives under which we
operate is that we shall use our grant-making power to so alter life in
the United States that we can be comfortably merged with the Soviet
Union,” Gaither is widely quoted as having told Dodd.
Indeed,
more than a few independent researchers came to similar conclusions. The
Infowars report about the FEMA agreements, for example, cites
State Department Publication 7277. Entitled
Freedom From War: The United States Program for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World,
this document was presented by the Kennedy administration to the United
Nations in 1961. Long quoted by the John Birch Society and other
opponents of world government, it outlines the official U.S. government
policy to progressively disarm the world while strengthening the United
Nations and the capabilities of its armed forces. The eventual goal, in
essence, is to create a
global government under the UN
with a monopoly on force that would merge the “Free World” with the
countries already enslaved under communist dictatorships.
While cooperation between
Western governments and U.S. administrations has been steadily increasing since the
supposed collapse
of the communist Soviet Union, President Obama has increased the depth
and scope of that “partnership” to unprecedented levels. Among the most
stunning examples of Obama’s cozy relationship with Russian authorities:
telling then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that after the 2012
election he would
have “more flexibility,” continually
praising the Russian government while cutting back America’s nuclear arsenal,
defying Congress and federal law to send U.S. taxpayer money to the Russian military, inviting
Russian troops to Colorado for terror drills, and more.
Of
course, the controversial agreements between FEMA and EMERCOM make up
just one small piece of the larger puzzle and the big picture. As
The New American has documented extensively, the plan to foist a
dictatorial one-world government on humanity
has been in the works for many decades — likely more than a century, at
least. Cooperation between the U.S. government and Russian authorities
would obviously be central to the scheme. In recent years, the troubling
trends have been accelerating quickly, and without a major outcry by
the American people, there will be little standing in the way of the
global establishment’s sinister plot.
