lb notable >>10570150 Democrats Running Psyop Against Trump Warned Are Walking Into “Directive 51” Trap
Theory here is insurrection act is not needed, and is underpowered in comparison to Directive 51 effected by GWB.

Interdasting takeaway is Sorcha Faal has often great sauce (for other undisclosed intel purposes) and rarely if ever supports the fake headlines or story narrative. AND Mos and Mi6 are ready for Sainthood (fake optics because most of [them] prolly not comfy with Potus).
Not a lawfag, def not a Nat Sec Lawfag (as B2 may be), but NSD seem as policy not law, not sure legal precedent re. force of law, but always is good to use a Congressional Law or a Precedent supported by the SC when taking drastic (and public) measures.
My interest would be in why Potus has no classified NSDs, obvious optics would be to support full transparency and he may not need anything secret to accomplish his (The) Plan. Anything classified would be selectively leaked against him (see DNI election briefings) so he keeps them public/transparent.
Whether this Dir 51 has any power, not sure. The article does infer that Lincoln did what he had to do to keep the Country together, so takeaway there to me is when faced with Dem insurrection just got to keep it together. We may have a repeat with Cal/NY leading adjoining states to secede during Potus 2?

What is a National Security Directive?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_security_directive
National security directives are presidential directives issued for the National Security Council (NSC). Starting with Harry Truman, every president since the founding of the National Security Council in 1947 has issued national security directives in one form or another,[1] which have involved foreign, military and domestic policies.[2] National security directives are generally highly classified[3] and are available to the public only after "a great many years" have elapsed.[4] Unlike executive orders, national security directives are usually directed only to the National Security Council and the most senior executive branch officials, and embody foreign and military policy-making guidance rather than specific instructions.[5]
Potus 45 Use, only president to publish:
Regarding the secrecy of presidential directives, Steven Aftergood of the Federation of American Scientists' Project on Government Secrecy stated in February 2008 that:
Of the 54 National Security Presidential Directives issued by the (George W.) Bush Administration to date, the titles of only about half have been publicly identified. There is descriptive material or actual text in the public domain for only about a third. In other words, there are dozens of undisclosed Presidential directives that define U.S. national security policy and task government agencies, but whose substance is unknown either to the public or, as a rule, to Congress.[14]
However, in an unprecedented development, the Donald Trump administration ordered their national security directives to be published in the Federal Register.[15][16]
