Obama's Plan To Seize Control Of Our Economy And Our Lives (Read this executive order)
Forbes ^ | 04/30./2012 | Jim Powell

Posted on 04/30/2012 6:06:21 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

President Obama has made clear that he’s determined to continue pushing his “progressive” agenda, regardless of constitutional limitations on his power. He aims to have his way by issuing more and more executive orders.

The most ominous sign of possible things to come appeared on March 16, 2012, when President Obama signed executive order 13603 about “National Defense Resources Preparedness.”

This 10-page document is a blueprint for a federal takeover of the economy that would dwarf the looming Obamacare takeover of the health insurance business. Specifically, Obama’s plan involves seizing control of:

* “All commodities and products that are capable of being ingested by either human beings or animals”

* “All forms of energy”

* “All forms of civil transportation”

* “All usable water from all sources”

* “Health resources – drugs, biological products, medical devices, materials, facilities, health supplies, services and equipment”

* Forced labor ( or “induction” as the executive order delicately refers to military conscription)

Moreover, federal officials would “issue regulations to prioritize and allocate resources.”

Each government bureaucracy “shall act as necessary and appropriate.”

To be sure, much of this language has appeared in national security executive orders that previous presidents have issued periodically since the beginning of the Cold War.

Flags waving, America, America... keeping us safe...

That doesnt sound like anything that this SCOTUS would accept, at least not without a Federal Law behind it.

My understanding of this is that this order has been in effect for a long time, pre-bammers,

and this update just includes language about the DHS instead of another department that was handling “implementation”.

Sounds like the plan laid out in “The Road we are Traveling” from the 1940s (or was it 30s)..

Andrew Breitbart left us knowing more than he had time to disclose to us.

What did he know that we need to re-discover, document and publish?

Why are ALL of Obama’s important early documents forged?

Where was Obama during his “Lost Years?”

Why are there so few known Obama childhood friends?

How many of Obama’s childhood buddies are still alive?

Was Obama a FOREIGN student at Occidental, Columbia or Harvard?

Who wrote the checks for Obama’s education?

Where these question that Andrew Beitbart knew some of the answers to?

____________

To tie the above with some speculative food for thought, please indulge me, (but DO ponder the speculations), as I re-post one of my recently updated comments as follows:

A dictator, such as Obama, only has the power that the people give him.

Currently, at least 40 % of polled American voters are gladly willing to give Obama the necessary power to continue his arrogant dictatorship.

About 47 % of American voters pay NO Personal Federal Income Taxes. These voters are the “fair share” voter base for Dictator Obama. We, in the 53 %, then are paying this 47 % to vote for Obama by virtue of us paying taxes for ourselves AND them.

In this manner we are supporting the voters who vote for Obama, and they will vote to do so again in November.

Dictator Obama has designed Obama”care” to become active only AFTER he is to be re-elected, thus enabling THE NINE SUPREMES to delay ruling on the Constitutionality of the dictate of the individual mandate until Obama is once again the Illegal Foreign White House Occupier, (IFWHO).

The purpose of Dictator Baby-Doc Barack is simple: 1.) Regulate; 2.) Control; and 3.) Destroy. By his own count he has already achieved 60 % of his goals, according to the note he says he carries in his pocket.

Obama’s obvious arrogant and deep hatred of America could have only come from what he was taught in his childhood.

Since there are no known networks of childhood friends from Obama’s past, Obama was probably a member of a Marxist sleeper cell funded by wealthy men with a Marxist view of the World.

The lack of credible documents that has NOT been forged requires a long-term, highly skilled and well-funded support group.

Who the key members of Obama’s probable support group and probable sleeper cell were and are is well known to the Interpol, CIA and the FBI.

Will “Citizen Journalists” such as Breitbart Editor Joel Pollack be able to out-spy the latter two US tax-funded spy entities?

BTW, forget about the LAM, (Liberal Agenda Media), as they are saving their notes to write their tell-all Obama books after Obama has SAFELY retired back home in Kenya.

BTW, BTW, to all the doubters of the above speculations: what does your gut tell you?

"Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."

This is an update to existing policy, nothing more. No powers were expanded or added, no one's rights any more threatened than they were before this was issued. I doubt this is anything more Machiavellian than it appears on the surface . . . though certainly, when dealing with the left, that always remains a possibility.

When the SCOTUS ruled against President Andrew Jackson's ethnic cleaning of the Seminole, Creek, Choctaw, Cherokee and Chickasaw from the Southeast United States, he stated:
“You have made your ruling, now enforce it." Obama could take the same approach. Then in 180 years he would be celebrated by the Democrats the same way Jackson is today.

Where is it written that Americans may have/want/have authorized this ‘in camera’ arrangement for the execution of Presidential authority?

In wide sweeping terms you are indeed correct. But as it was picked apart when it first came out, there are some concerning wording changes.

Changes that do alter the whole intent of the original document. Many of us would not have blinked an eye except for the changes that take this EO out of the realm of preparedness for war/attack to an EO placed in the realm of 0bama’s perceived peacetime needs.

The intentional alteration of the intensity of the document by 0bama is of concern. Before it was pretty clear when such an EO would be implemented. Now, it is not so clear. Who determines the ‘need’ and what are those parameters?

And might very well be successful given there is no effective opposition party to Obama since Republicans took control of the House.

Now in a better time Republicans might actually make actions like this and bucking the SCOTUS rulings unpopular.

Learn from history. In 1933, a fire at the Germany Reichstag building was used as a trumped up emergency for legislation to suspend civil liberties and allowed Hitler to seize dictatorial control. The fire was likely set by Hitler supporters. If reelected Obama already has the authority under this order to do the same...he just needs some kind of nation emergency to use it. Forget about Congress or the SCOTUS doing anything...Obama will ignore them as he has done in the past. Should this happen it will take nothing short of armed rebellion to bring back our democracy.

“I think the old standby definitions of who votes for which party have been blown away in this campaign. I think people recognize that I’m not a partisan Republican—that I’m someone who is moderate, and that my views are progressive.”
-Mitt Romney (2002)

Video of the quote:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMcjJEXt9To

Obama continued: “I am somebody who is no doubt progressive. I believe in a tax code that we need to make more fair. I believe in universal health care. I believe in making college affordable. I believe in paying our teachers more money. I believe in early childhood education. I believe in a whole lot of things that make me progressive.”
-Barack Obama

In 2010 I was one of the sole freepers here warning that this might happen, that Obama would use a Republican victory to turn attention away from his OWN failures to against ‘Republican congress obstruction’ and demonization of them as extremists(like we havent seen this play out before, Geeze.) .

So they took a few stands and seemed to assume they would all be easy wins, they got crushed on most with humiliating cave in's and now they appear shell shocked and terrified of Obama. It's called ‘Victory without a plan=disaster’.

Now we are promised that just electing Romney will save us, The plan?? Who needs one? Look how well assuming they would get lucky has worked so far.

__________

The plan:

1. Defeat Obama.
2. Keep the house
3. Take the Senate
4. Repeal Obama Care
5. Repeal Executive Orders and other costly regulations that were put in place by Obama
6. Appoint business friendly judges to the bench
7. Hold Mitt’s feet to the fire like we did when Bush appointed Harriet Myers to the SC.
8. Win more than we lose (Mitt is by no means perfect, but we have a small chance to shape his decisions. We have zero chance with Obama).

Not to worry if Obama is re-elected. Any number of FReepers have told us that Obama is better than Romney.

Wasnt some of that stuff what Republicans promised to do if they took the House???.
Empty political promises are far from a plan.
