Obama signs Executive Order allowing him control over all US resources (3/16/12)

Executive Orders created for national defense and national preparedness are not new in American history, but in each instance they brought about a Constitutional crisis that nearly led standing Presidents to hold dictatorial power over the citizenry. During the Civil War, President Lincoln halted freedom of speech and freedom of the press, while at the same time revoking Habeas Corpus and the right to a fair trial under the sixth amendment. During World War I, when Congress refused to grant Woodrow Wilson extended power over resources to help the war effort, he invoked an Executive Order which allowed him complete control over businesses, industry, transportation, food, and other economic policies.

In both cases, it was only after the death of each President that full Constitutional powers were restored to the citizens of the United States.

He sure could use this to STOP any impeachment proceedings.

Is this true? I have been watching that bill sitting in congress that was filed on Mar 7 in regards to impeachment. No legs.

No, it means, "Holy crap, we've had 18 years to warn people about this crazy shit, and we've squandered it?!?" The fact that they're reaffirming totalitarian power and expanding upon it at this time is ominous. Taken all the way, it enables an overnight fascist or Communist transformation of the entire country.

Yeah, that's actually a very good point. I mean, we weren't aware of the severe limits to the first amendment until a couple words were changed and Amash pointed it out. We weren't aware of the international treaty called ACTA until years after it had already gone into law and the whole SOPA fiasco started. While we were aware of the patriot act, we weren't aware of the full depths that the gov't would go to to strip of us our rights in the name of counter-terrorism (NDAA, TSA, EEA, etc).

This stuff's been going on for YEARS but people are just waking up now because of how blatant it's become.

And yes, we can expect many online marketing agents hired by the dems to run around from site to site saying this is nothing.

Oh, now that's just parano--"[Cass Sunstein (admin of the office of information in regulatory affairs in the obama administration) and Adrian Vermeule] go on to propose that, "the best response consists in cognitive infiltration of extremist groups",[26] where they suggest, among other tactics, "Government agents (and their allies) might enter chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups and attempt to undermine percolating conspiracy theories by raising doubts about their factual premises, causal logic or implications for political action"

Moreover, most people were totally unaware of them.

Well, most people are aware that the government took control of production and food allocation during WWII. They just aren't sure why, and they sure as hell aren't aware that congress passed a law a few years AFTER WWII giving the president more power in case that happens again.

What troubles me, of course, is precedent.

** We have an Iran crisis on our hands, which a lot of commentators are likening to the start of another world war, *unlike* how it was with Iraq or Afghanistan (both of which sucked, but not on the same scale).

** We have a government that's been quickly trying to strip us of our rights since, say, november, and done it in a fashion so blatant that *ordinary people* have taken notice.

** Since the Ron Paul campaign started up last summer, we've seen ridiculously blatant media bias, and this was back when he was actually winning polls. Obviously, not everyone caught that, but more people than usual did (especially once jon stewart started going on about it).

And so, while the Iran crisis has been getting worse and worse, the president reaffirms an executive order that says how his administration should handle itself in the case of another world war. There is zero media coverage of this.

Executive Orders created for national defense and national preparedness are not new in American history, but in each instance they brought about a Constitutional crisis that nearly led standing Presidents to hold dictatorial power over the citizenry.

Actually, no they didn't. Recheck your source. *using* them certainly had an adverse effect on the country, however.

I always remember in the X-Files movie Fight the Future where Mulder and Alvin Kurtzweil are chatting and Dr. Kurtzweil talks about FEMA being the secret police.

I sorta knew that this power existed, but had forgotten about it. All day my stomach has been in knots. I do not have internet or a computer at home so I stopped by my office to get on here. ALL DAY I knew something wasn't right and of course when I get on this sight I see something else that the king has signed. I feel that 9/11 set the precedent for the Patriot Act and all of these laws that have been signed recently.

The s**t is gonna hit the fan soon. We can't protest and if we do there is the possibility of detainment. Could there be a bank holiday coming soon? Hell, the majority of people have direct deposit. It's too costly to issue paper checks. Of the two jobs that I have, direct deposit is mandatory.

What are we suppose to do? I agree with most that in the past 6 months, laws are being signed at an alarming rate of speed. The majority of folks don't care as they are strapped to their sofas having a love fest with Hollywood, sports and Snooki's f**king pregnancy. Something has to give to wake up the masses. There are what, over 200 million folks in America? Now, I must go and vomit!

Anyone have a list of all the nasty crap like this Obama has pulled? NDAA, etc?

It stacks neatly on top of the nasty stuff Bush did (DHS, TSA, *Patriot Act) which stacks on stuff Clinton did, which stacks on top,,, and on , and on

Hotair and WND are trying to soften the blow. "Nothing to see here folks. Business as usual."

Can someone highlight the exact lines of the bill we should be worried about?

Pardon my french dear, but it's the whole fucking thing.

There is no special part that you should worry about. This decree takes over EVERYTHING.....in the event of an "emergency".

 

[TheTexan]

I'd bet someone a dollar that Obama didn't even read it. He just instructed his minions that he wanted control over 'everything', they drafted it, and he said 'this is everything right?', and then signed it.

 

[jmdrake]

And some wonder why some of us "nuts" are a bit concerned.

Here's what's sad. I've gotten to the point where I'm just numb now. I see things happen, I know I should be concerned. But I look at my fellow Americans, how their eyes glass over when we kill Americans without trial, molest airline passengers and attack and threaten countries that haven't bothered us all because of the 9/11 myth and I feel more and more like the donkey from Animal Farm. Donkey's live a long time.....hopefully.

Time to leave the farm. Secession.

 

[fj45lvr]

this has been around since roosevelt's time (they essentially set-aside the constitution with these "emergency powers").....here is a pretty good look at it: [video]http://blip.tv/the-larry-parks-show/monetary-endgame-martial-law-5334039[/video]

Not an option. The state I live in voted for Santorum. Things are never so bad that they can't get worse.

It's amazing how this guy Obama is not in jail yet or at least impeached by now. He makes Richard Nixon look like a Girl Scout by comparison.

Why would a Bipartisan effort in order to establish power, ever want to Impeach a key figure in that rise?
