Executive Order -- Blocking Property of Certain Persons Contributing to the Situation in Ukraine
The White House ^ | March 6, 2014 | Barak Obama

Posted on 03/08/2014 5:30:50 AM PST by PapaBear3625

I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, find that the actions and policies of persons -- including persons who have asserted governmental authority in the Crimean region without the authorization of the Government of Ukraine -- that undermine democratic processes and institutions in Ukraine; threaten its peace, security, stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity; and contribute to the misappropriation of its assets, constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat. I hereby order:

Section 1. (a) All property and interests in property that are in the United States, that hereafter come within the United States, or that are or hereafter come within the possession or control of any United States person (including any foreign branch) of the following persons are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in: any person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State:

including persons who have asserted governmental authority in the Crimean region without the authorization of the Government of Ukraine

Technically, could this be interpreted as an order to seize the assets of the Russian government?

It could be just meaningless.

Worded in such a way that it takes a lawyer to understand it. I’m sure Putin is scared to death.

Obama dictates international law

“I”
“I”
“I”

I’m sure the Russian KGB/mafia-connected oligarchs will be impressed when he seizes their property

Soros has been destabilizing Ukraine for years- lets see obama take his stuff

this putz could start WW3 with an executive order

Either way, it's probably going to turn out to have been a really stupid thing to do.

I thought this was satire. What does the loony-tune think he’s going to accomplish by declaring an executive order in the U.S. regarding Ukraine?

What he says is misleading. We haven’t been threatened except in retaliation to his threat. He’s so full of crap.

This is not meaningless at all. It is a direct threat to expropriate Russian asests. Putin and his oligarch buddies will notice.

It’s blocking trade and funds between the US and Russia....of “certain persons”. In other words...the politically incorrect are targeted financially. It’s so “in your face” commie/fascist that I had to look to see if it was satire.

It's not about Ukraine. It's about taking over all control of the government of the U.S. by executive order. Read these words CAREFULLY.

"... and I hereby declare a national emergency ..."

I wondered that, too. If anyone donates to a Russian source or buys a product that is sourced to Crimea, could you have your actions sanctions and your property confiscated?

You would have thought something like this would have been put up for a vote in Congress because it effects untold US citizens.

Instead..they use this Admin's political filter to pick and choose losers, by the stroke of a pen...what a shock./s

No, what is “commie/fascist” is invading your neighbor with a fifth column of soldiers with no insignia. Then naval blockading them. Those are war crimes. How dare a POTUS respond to that. Your Kenyan Derangement Syndrome needs treatment.
