When the Constitution of the United States was framed it placed the exclusive legislative authority in the hands of Congress and with the President. Article I, Section 1 of the United States Constitution is concise in its language:
All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
That is no longer true. The Bill of Rights protected Americans against loss of freedoms. That is no longer true. The Constitution provided for a balanced separation of powers. That is no longer applicable.
Perhaps it can be summed up succinctly in the words of arch-conservative activist Howard J Ruff:
Since the enactment of Executive Order 11490, the only thing standing between us and dictatorship is the good character of the President, and the lack of a crisis severe enough that the public would stand still for it.
Next we will look at all legislation passed or attempted by the dishonest Socialist regardless if they call themselves Progressive, Liberal, Independent, Republican, or Democrat.
If you have a computer you can look up the legislation.
Here are just a few Executive Orders that would suspend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. These Executive Orders have been on record for nearly 30 years and could be enacted by the stroke of a Presidential pen:
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10990 allows the government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10995 allows the government to seize and control the communication media.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10997 allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels and minerals.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10998 allows the government to take over all food resources and farms.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11000 allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11001 allows the government to take over all health, education and welfare functions.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11002 designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11003 allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11004 allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate communities, build new housing with public funds, designate areas to be abandoned, and establish new locations for populations.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11005 allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways and public storage facilities.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11051 specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11310 grants authority to the Department of Justice to enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute industrial support, to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President.
Here are the later Executive Orders:
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11049 assigns emergency preparedness function to federal departments and agencies, consolidating 21 operative Executive Orders issued over a fifteen year period.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11921 allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and distribution, of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit and the flow of money in U.S. financial institution in any undefined national emergency. It also provides that when a state of emergency is declared by the President, Congress cannot review the action for six months.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 12148 created the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that is to interface with the Department of Defense for civil defense planning and funding. An emergency czar was appointed. FEMA has only spent about 6 percent of its budget on national emergencies, the bulk of their funding has been used for the construction of secret underground facilities to assure continuity of government in case of a major emergency, foreign or domestic.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 12656 appointed the National Security Council as the principal body that should consider emergency powers. This allows the government to increase domestic intelligence and surveillance of U.S. citizens and would restrict the freedom of movement within the United States and granted the government the right to isolate large groups of civilians. The National Guard could be federalized to seal all borders and take control of U.S. air space and all ports of entry. Many of the figures in the Iran-Contra scandal were part of this emergency contingent, including Marine Colonel Oliver North.
Oh, and now that I think of it they had some requirement for a dog that doesn't dander. Ooops and there it is in your post.
She is actually urged to take the vaccine as the Swine flu attack the respiratory system.
Why didn't they give her the shot? /s
you believe they have had the vaccine? Are you calling Barry O. a liar? A liar!?
Have you no shame!? No moral decency!? No sense of humor?
How would the obama supporters, low income inner city folks respond if something did go down?
I could agree.
They lie about everything else.
It would surely be foolhardy,
if all the reports are true.
I have felt uneasy since Nov 08.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel posted this photo essay showing the HUGE lines of people being forced to wait outside in the rain for flu shots:
LOL! A lie coming out of this administration? What was I thinking? I’ve pack my bags for the re-education camp. :-)
I am not that worried about the safety of the vaccine. There will be some people that have an adverse reaction to it. That is to be expected. By the time it trickles down to us normal folks I hope there will be enough information to make an informed decision.
After being reassured the vaccine will be available for all, this shortage is not a good thing for the administration. It would be a PR nightmare if it was known that his kids had the vaccine and the cases of flu increased dramatically among those in the areas where it was not available.
Maybe it was not available based on risk factors. But it is available based on the fact that they are the daughters of the messiah.
Well, they were suppose to have some 40-150 million doses available in October.
As of today they have 11 million.
Hmmm.... If the government were running things, this shortage would have never happened. /s
I am bored.
BTTT
Chairman 0bamas declaration of a National Emergency gives me an uneasy feeling in the pit of my gut.
The declaration of yet another "National Emergency" is, in and of itself, not a signal of something big impending, although it should be. If it seems I'm cavalier about that, rest assured, I'm not, but I likewise know that it is just one, of far too many, which have been declared over the course of my lifetime, none of which have ever been declared "over" (think long and hard, about *that*!!)
What you feel is cumulative effects of these "national emergencies", which have been ongoing for nearly a century, without stop, and without the emergencies ever truly being resolved and declared over with. One day, however, there will be yet another "National Emergency" declared, and the full weight of these various, and sundry Executive Orders will be brought to bear to finish off the few pitiful remnants of Constitutionally based governance, and the contract will be officially null and void. At that point we will cease to be citizens, and become, unless we resist, subjects.
You are not being paranoid, just waking up to what is planned, and had been planned long ago...

Were anyone to attempt it, it brings up an interesting legal point. How could it be done, without de-legitimizing the government. It is the Constitution which gives the Federal Government its authority. Suspending it means nullifying their own legal authority, and in essence, publicly declaring that their sole authority is "might makes right"...

Is Malia the kid with the allergies?
If so maybe it is the nasal live she is not getting.
My son has allergies/asthema and we are not getting the nasal live vaccine due to that and other medical issues but he will accept the non live vaccine.
I hope Freepers will get the rumours facted out about the kids of his not getting vaccinated and why.
“This new system was implemented on August 30, 2009, and replaces the weekly report of laboratory confirmed 2009 H1N1-related hospitalizations and deaths that began in April 2009. Jurisdictions can now report to CDC either laboratory confirmed or pneumonia and influenza syndromic-based counts of hospitalizations and deaths resulting from all types or subtypes of influenza, not just those from 2009 H1N1 influenza virus. To allow jurisdictions to implement the new case definition, counts were reset to zero on August 30, 2009. From August 30 October 17, 2009, 8,204 laboratory-confirmed influenza associated hospitalizations, 411 laboratory-confirmed influenza associated deaths, 21,823 pneumonia and influenza syndrome-based hospitalizations, and 2,416 pneumonia and influenza syndrome-based deaths, were reported to CDC. CDC will continue to use its traditional surveillance systems to track the progress of the 2009-10 influenza season.”
You are right, there have been only 411 lab-confirmed influenza (not just Swine cases) deaths, that’s a small number for extrapolation even adding in the 2.4K flu-pneumonia cases.
Where does it say they are not taking clinical samples from the field, but only from hospitalizations? I’m trying to drill down to their bases for estimates?
If the virus is gone by the time they test, do they account for that in their stats?
You are pretty on top of this!
just too good!
You're probably right, but I wouldn't put it all on the gullibility of the American people. Granted the people can be easilly taken in, they fell for the whole hope and change thing but don't you think that Lord Barry is the type who'd love to become dictator. Anyone who isn't concerned about the Maoists we have in high places declaring martial law is either asleep or crazy.
Thanks for the ping!
