One Step Away from a Dictatorship: “The Groundwork and Foundation Have Been Put Into Place”

SHTF Plan ^ | 5/19/2015 | Jeremiah Johnson

[HomerBohn]

“A dictatorship was impossible in our Republic because power was widely diffused. Today, as we approach Democratic Socialism, all power is being centralized at the apex of the executive branch of the federal government. This concentration of power makes a dictatorship inevitable.”

(Gary Allen, “None Dare Call it Conspiracy,” page 34)

The aforementioned quote and book were written in 1971. Good Day to you, SHTF readers. This article is going to mention some of the “finer points” utilized by the executive branch (Obama) toward the totalitarian end-state he desires. The end state of slavery he erroneously (and intentionally) labels a “fundamental transformation.” Keep these points in mind, as we mentioned in the last article that Jade Helm is (as you readers also agree) a precursor for some unknown nefarious act to take place in the near future.

The Executive Order is a presidential directive that holds the force of law once it is published in the Federal Register. Now the United States has been continuously placed in a “state of emergency” since 1933. The War and Emergency Powers Act of 1933 has enabled all successive presidents to usurp powers normally designated to the legislative branch. Abraham Lincoln suspended habeas corpus in 1862, flagrantly disregarding Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution that states a person may not be imprisoned without due process on a whim of the government.

In 1937, the courts in the case of U.S. vs. Belmont ruled that executive agreements do not require the consensus of other branches of the government to be enacted. On March 23, 2005, George Bush Jr. entered into a treaty with Canada and Mexico in which the president of the U.S. is allowed to use troops from those countries to stop an uprising or political unrest…in the U.S. The treaty was signed without the approval of Congress and via executive order.

Readers, I have read your comments and we see the writing on the wall for what it is! What reason for all of these different laws and executive orders if not to bring to bear the whole weight of the U.S. government against the American people? It is poised and ready, just waiting for the right moment to be unleashed.

December 15, 2011 was when Congress passed the NDAA, which of course was ratified into law by Obama while he vacationed in Hawaii, signed with that “auto-pen-thing,” slipped right into everyone’s New Year’s Eve drink under our noses. Section 1021 of the NDAA affirms the authority of the President to detain an individual via the Armed Forces of the United States, and this detention without trial until the end of the hostilities. Guess we all better hope Jade Helm doesn’t go “live.”

Section 1031 refers to the U.S. as a “battlefield,” giving the military the green light to act in a “law enforcement” role in the U.S., and this is the death-knell of the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 that the Warner Defense Act of 2006 had already negated. We are already well aware of the March 16, 2012 Executive Order Obama signed for National Defense Resources Preparedness, in which every thing that can be eaten, drank, driven, grown….virtually everything in the U.S., including human labor…is now under the authority of Obama and his minions during an “emergency,” whether real, created, or imaginary.

With all that has just been mentioned, there is so much more to it than this. He must be crafted out of Teflon…nothing sticks to him. Nothing. Not Benghazi (or the entire “Arab Spring,” for that matter), not Fast and Furious, not the bin Laden thing where an entire SEAL Team paid the price to keep a lid on the truth (in a Chinook, no less of an ignominy…when have you ever heard of a SEAL team extracted or transported by a Chinook?), and so on ad infinitum. Nothing sticks to this guy. Nothing.

Make no mistake about it; the groundwork and foundation have been put into place. The NDAA is there, all primed and ready to be used against us, the American citizens. The EO’s are all in place to confiscate our resources and to force us into internment camps to perform forced labor for KBR (Kellogg, Brown, and Root) under the supervision of the Internment Specialist MOS of the U.S. Army. The police departments, local and state, have effectively been federalized by the dangling of the carrot (federal funds) in front of the jackasses (the state governors and their respective state legislatures).

Now all that the regime needs is a good false flag, or the conversion of an existing problem into something cataclysmic. A war, or an economic collapse would be good triggers. Make no mistake, guys and gals, we are right on the edge. All it will take is a small shove and we’ll pass over the tipping point. The point is that the propaganda and the conditioning of the public consciousness to accept martial law are well under way. The “for your own safety” and “in the interests of the nation/national security/public good,” etc., slogans are going to be the keys to their pulling the trigger on a martial law scenario.

Every day the envelope is pushed just a little further. It is also quite obvious there are much larger forces that pull the strings of Obama: the globalists so desirous of their world government. The UN and other foreign forces, backed by the thieves of the IMF and the World Bank are slavering with anticipation of the United States giving away its own sovereignty and becoming another “district” in their version of “the Hunger Games.” I submit to you that the actions this regime has taken toward the American people is nefarious and evil because it cannot answer the question “why” for any of its actions with any legitimacy. There is no reason that has been given that justifies any of the things done by either the administration or its bureaucratic fiefdoms.

Why would DHS need billions of hollow point rounds for paper targets? Why would MRAP’s and other armored personnel carriers be sent to towns akin to Gomer Pyle’s Mayberry? Why are all of these military maneuvers being carried out on American soil in populated areas? Why is all of the hardware…tanks, artillery, etc., being shipped all over the U.S.?

The answer to all of them, good Readers, is that we are now in a “soft” tyranny. It will morph into something much harder, and the only unanswered question is “when” that tyranny will fully flower. Let’s open up the dialogue. The comments have been great: in-depth and thought provoking. I ask you to present your prognosis and your ideas about where we are and where we’re going, both short and long term. Also, I’m trying to answer as many of you back as possible, so please don’t be offended if I haven’t answered yours right away. I’m reading each and every one of them; they’re that important to me, and I hope they are important to you (one another) as a group.

Stay alert and frosty, and keep up the good work. Have a great day!

The vast majority of the public lacks the ability or desire to make a decision for themselves. The younger generations have had their decisions made for them. Public education is the root of this malaise.

We have are well past the point of no return. The system can not be reformed – it has been fully captured by treasonous psychopaths and their leftist pansies, intent on lining their own pockets regardless of the cost to the rest of society.

The only viable solution should be obvious to everyone by now.

[C. Edmund Wright]

Every day, I inch closer to thinking you are 100% right. Oh, I’ve sensed it for a couple decades....have known for a long time that any kind of meaningful reform was an uphill slog - now I’m pretty close to the assumption that we’re not going to ever get there.

[HomerBohn]

America is toast. Our now pitiful nation morphed from a Republic to a Democracy and now to a ‘Peoples’ Republic.

[C. Edmund Wright]

One of the most jarring examples of how corrupt our system is can be observed in House of Cards series. That’s not really their point, but that point comes across nonetheless. That show is scary accurate - about so much.

One of the truest statements ever posted on Free Republic.

A small story with little coverage is the seizure of 300 unserialized lower receivers from Stag Arms in New Britain CT. The charge is that Stag arms allowed more than the legal limit of 7days to pass before assigning serial numbers to the lowers.

In the charge the Government asked that 110 of the unserialized receivers be given to the government for the use and benefit of the government. Does anyone know why the the government wants 110 ghost guns?

[sergeantdave]

Let’s not forget the 50 ChiComm divisions hiding in the Texas sagebrush.

And 100 Russian tank divisions tucked away in Montana griz country.

And all US Army soldiers and Marines are the second coming of the Gestapo.

As for those fat doughnut-munching federal bureaucrat jellyfish you see squating at their desks? Don’t let your eyes deceive you. They’re really 10-foot tall Rambos.

Let’s not forget, too, that every old government warehouse fenced in with barbed wire are FEMA concentration camps.

BTW, don’t forget to pop into my survivalist web site and buy cases of No. 10 cans of bacon-flavored TVP. They’ve been sitting here since Y2K and I gotta move them before the expiration date.

If this sounds like the same crap we heard during Clinton’s reign of stupidity, it is. Wash. Rinse. Recycle. Repeat.

The very first objective should be to expose, uproot and completely dismantle the propaganda and disinformation media collaborators and co-conspirators who have infested academia, J-schools and the antenna networks. For now, they’re safely ensconced in their guarded compounds and Manhattan martini salons - completely free to plot and carry out both overt and covert acts of treason against America.

H/T to our FRiend HomerBohn for the post.

Notwithstanding this came from Mac Slavo's blog (a place for fear porn and tinfoil if there ever was one - note the author's BDS), there are some salient points made by the author, to wit:

* The passage of NDAA of 2011;
* The signing of EO 13603 (which he alludes to but doesn't name); and one he doesn't mention:
* the disgraceful decision by SCOTUS in June 2012, blessing ObamaCare and all its hidden fees and tax penalties, making anyone a criminal subject to arrest (under NDAA's provisions).

Those three travesties of law have, in the space of six months, set the final pieces in place. As I said then, "We are officially over the precipice, we just haven't struck the ground yet..."

For thus has the Lord said unto me:
“Go, set a watchman, Let him declare what he sees.”
Isaiah 21:6

As I said then, "We are officially over the precipice, we just haven't struck the ground yet..."

That'll happen in Sept.

What is bad is that very few know about the above mentioned events. And fewer even care. By their cavalier attitude, they have doomed their grand children to a slow terrible death. What is happening in the Mid East with muslim organizations such as ISIS will be happening the United States within 20 years. I actually believe that it will be less than 10, but I put 20.

Who said this?

"I love the Union and the Constitution, but I would rather leave the Union with the Constitution than remain in the Union without it."

The creature comforts mean more to 99% of the people than their freedom and lives now.

[Old Sarge]

I saw what you did there...

[central_va]

"Secession belongs to a different class of remedies. It is to be justified upon the basis that the States are Sovereign. There was a time when none denied it. I hope the time may come again, when a better comprehension of the theory of our Government, and the inalienable rights of the people of the States, will prevent any one from denying that each State is a Sovereign, and thus may reclaim the grants which it has made to any agent whomsoever."

[HomerBohn]

I must have said that since it makes so much sense.

[sport]

I too, at one time believed that we in the United States of America would return to Constitutional Government. And members of this forum would lead the way. Experience has driven both those thoughts far from my mind.

We ,as a Nation, have demonstrated that the chains of Governmental slavery are preferred to freedom and individual responsibility. And judging by their posts, what this forum will lead in is the furnishing of Kapos to do the dirty work of the masters.

[sport]

What happened at Waco should give you a clue.

[central_va]

Here's another one that makes perfect sense:

"The withdrawal of a State from a league has no revolutionary or insurrectionary characteristic. The government of the State remains unchanged as to all internal affairs. It is only its external or confederate relations that are altered. To term this action of a Sovereign a 'rebellion' is a gross abuse of language."
