Conclusion
From the Paper:
"In the event of chaos, the shadow government will have tremendous power in comparison with the President of the United States and the Congress combined. They can "postpone laws, transfer populations, detain citizens without a warrant and hold them without trial" (Martin). They also have the authority to take control of properties, any form of supplies, transportation systems, and have the power to suspend the Constitution (The Shadow Government). Amazingly, "it was not even created under Constitutional law by the Congress. It was a product of a Presidential Executive Order" (Martin). "
