The Governors better ignore this before their actions could be the final straw and civil war will start.

"When appointed, the Council will be reviewing such matters as involving the National Guard of the various States; homeland defense; civil support; synchronization and integration of State and Federal military activities in the United States; and other matters of mutual interest pertaining to National Guard, homeland defense, and civil support activities. "
This is really scary.
Sounds like he's setting up the brownshirts and gestappo to me. "matters of mutual interest", "civil support activities"...we've never had a need for all this before, and we don't now.
"I'm guessing this is to set up for the confiscation of arms and gun control...they can never complete their mission as long as the population is armed.
The kenyan is getting a lot of heat faster than he expected and is now issueing an "executive order" for this...very, very suspicious. I wonder how many governors will fall for this...

NOT a good idea. And we thought clinton was bad with his Executive Orders.
Somebody better protest this, fast! Hello, Republicans? Are you there? This cannot be allowed to stand.

We used to have a method for the states to be represented in Washington. It was called the US Senate but one of the first moves of the 100 year strategy of the progressive was to utterly transform it with the 17th Amendment. Thia happened in 1913 under Woodrow Wilson. What else happened then? The 16th Amendment was rammed through allowing income taxes to be levied without apportionment and the Federal Reserve System was created. That’s when the foundations of our Republic were cracked. What’s happened since then is inevitable. Alas, I suspect widespread violence is as well. Living through the collapse of the United States may prove instructive, it will certainly be interesting.

“...synchronization and integration of State and Federal military activities in the United States; ...
“The bipartisan Council will be composed of ten State Governors who will be selected by the President ...
“Federal members of the Council include the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, the Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental Affairs and Public Engagement, the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Americas Security Affairs, the U.S. Northern Command Commander, the Commandant of the Coast Guard, and the Chief of the National Guard Bureau.”
So the vote to send troops to control citizens will be 13-5.
Anybody going to mention posse comitatus?

"ten State Governors who will be selected by the President to serve two year terms"
Guess what, the Obamanation doesn't know what a "federal" system of states MEANS..... now we will see the states ever more dependent upon and subservient to the POTUS, as least as long as the Demagogues control the WH.
This is a foolish and dangerous path, so it's no surprise that the Obamanation is doing it via executive order. Who on earth wants the Demagogues to determine the 10 Governors to be placed on such a council????? "bi-partisan" means only that they can always find five groveling RINOs to fill the 5 R. slots. Scary stuff.

re: 13 to 5
ha, that’s even assuming that the Demagogues don’t have up to 5 subservient RINOs ready to do their bidding.....
we can be certain that the Obamanation would never appoint any of the more conservative or free-thinking R. governors, they will be carbon copies of their Demagogue counterparts....

The National Guard is essentially already federalized.
Governors who have a spine should replace their local contingents of National Guard with a state funded militia that could be directed by the Governor and state legislature.
If the feds need their state militia to fight a war then the governor and legislature can make it happen ... or not.

re: 13 to 5
... yeah, you’re right. I was trying to be funny.
