	Shadow government - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A shadow government is a "government-in-waiting" that remains in waiting with the intent to take control of the government in response to some event.
		In parliamentary governments, it is common for the opposition party to have a shadow government in which top leaders of the opposition are prepared to assume certain ministries should the opposition come to power.
		Also, the term "shadow government" can be used loosely to refer to a guerrilla-force that controls and administers the majority of the physical area of a country, rendering the official national government significantly less able to administer its policies.

	Shadow Cabinet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Members of a shadow cabinet are often but not always appointed to a Cabinet post if and when their party gets into government.
		The adjective "loyal" is used because, while the role of the opposition is to oppose Her Majesty's Government, it does not dispute Her Majesty's right to the throne and therefore the legitimacy of the government.
		Some parliamentary parties, notably the British Labour Party and the Australian Labor Party, elect all the members of their shadow cabinets in a partyroom ballot, with the Leader of the Opposition then allocating portfolios to the Shadow Ministers.

	The Shadow Government
		It appears that 1963 is also the year in which the Establishment Media sector of the Shadow Government was given effective control over computerized voting in the United States, through its National Election Service, as part of a deal in which they went along with the coverup of the Kennedy Assassination through the Warren Commission.
		Shadow control therefore consists largely of the placement of shadow agents in key positions in all of the institutions that are to be controlled.
		We are moving away from the original model of the universal middle class, and toward a third-world model of a small upper class and a large poor class, with a small middle class that mainly serve as minions of the rich.

	CNN.com - Shadow U.S. government in place - March 1, 2002
		WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Nearly six months after the September 11 attacks, a "shadow government" of senior federal agency officials remains in place at secure locations outside Washington as a precaution against a catastrophic strike on the nation's capital, a senior government official told CNN on Friday.
		But while Cheney has resumed a schedule that is "almost normal," as the senior official put it, the "shadow government" of "several dozen, roughly 100" senior government workers remains in place, using two secure locations in the eastern United States that were constructed for such a contingency.
		Also, several departments are reviewing legal requirements to make sure those serving in the "shadow government" have the authority to carry out key government functions, should contact with Washington somehow be severed.

	Shadow Government (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		It is hoped this Shadow government will help keep the executive branch running in the event of a major terrorist attack on Washington, DC.
		Although the shadow government is designed to protect essential government services, it's not clear just how the Bush administration defines the term "essential." Of course the shadow has to cover National security and law enforcement, but what about dairy price supports or environmental protection and consumer safety?
		I even thought a bit about what the shadow government is doing out there: it must be a little like being Vice President of the United States.

	Shadow Government
		He went on to say that President George W. Bush did not foresee ever needing to turn over government functions to the secret operation, but believed it was prudent to put the plan into action in the light of the war against terrorism and persistent threats of future attacks.
		With constitutional government "temporarily" placed in the garbage heap, the American people would be subject to direct control by unelected bureaucrats scrambling to shore up a jack boot heel on the dreams of our Founding Fathers.
		This allows the government to increase domestic intelligence and surveillance of U.S. citizens and would restrict the freedom of movement within the United States and granted the government the right to isolate large groups of civilians.

	washingtonpost.com: Shadow Government Is at Work in Secret
		President Bush has dispatched a shadow government of about 100 senior civilian managers to live and work secretly outside Washington, activating for the first time long-standing plans to ensure survival of federal rule after catastrophic attack on the nation's capital.
		As it settles in for the long haul, the shadow government has sent home most of the first wave of deployed personnel, replacing them most commonly at 90-day intervals.
		Known internally as the COG, for "continuity of government," the administration-in-waiting is an unannounced complement to the acknowledged absence of Vice President Cheney from Washington for much of the pastfive months.

		In what was described by government officials as a fair attempt to regulate the country’s broadcast media, a cabinet order granted licenses to four television and 11 radio stations, but ordered the closure of dozens of others it called "pirate" stations.

	A Shadow Government
		Any major government is going to have a variety of secret departments and agencies, which go far beyond Cosmic Top Secret, and in fact become sufficiently secret that Presidents come and go without a hint of their existence.
		Shadow governments exist on the one hand to provide continuity of a government under real and intimate physical threat -- essentially a contingency plan in the worst case scenarios.
		This is because a shadow government is a creature of its creators, who supposedly need not fear being dominated by their own creation.

	The Secret Shadow Government
		The secret "shadow" government is the large organizational network which operates alongside the officially elected and appointed government of the United States of America.
		However, unlike the official government, the purpose of the non-executive branches of the Shadow Government is simply to distribute various functions, but not to achieve a system of checks and balances, as was supposed to happen constitutionally between the executive, legislative and judicial branches of the U.S. Government.
		That is because the Shadow Government is a creature of a powerful elite, who need not fear being dominated by an instrument of their own creation.

		The top-secret effort, disclosed by government officials who spoke on condition of anonymity, has been retooled since the attacks to protect the continuity of government against the 21st-century threat of terrorism.
		In the worst case scenario, the shadow government would help Cheney manage America's affairs after a crippling strike on Washington and the presidency.

	Shadow Government
		Despite the unmitigated failure of the government’s intelligence agencies—surely a first-ballot inductee into the Misnomer Hall of Fame—to detect and/or prevent the calamities, the majority of Americans have decided to roll over and play dead as the Feds grab ever more power and treasure.
		While the government can no more protect you than it can provide education, healthcare or a financially secure retirement, it is proficient at one thing: protecting itself.
		But with a shadow government in place and the complaisant major media still around to manipulate public opinion, those among us who aspire to positions of power so that they may reward their friends and punish their enemies will do everything they can to maintain domination over the sheeple.
