After 9/11, President Bush enacted several laws supposedly to ‘protect’ America from terrorists. The Patriot Act greatly expanded law enforcement’s ability to gather intelligence and surveillance on citizens within the United States, to the point of dangerous infringement on our civil liberties. Next, came the Homeland Security Act which formed the Department of Homeland Security, effectively absorbing FEMA as well as the TSA in 2003.
President Obama continued feeding the Federal government’s creeping, tyrannical appetite by disregarding the function of Congress, and signing close to 140 Executive Orders just in his first 4 years in office. I’m not really surprised that he has chosen to operate in this manner. I DO find it curious that the members of Congress have been all but completely silent about Obama’s methods of expanding Presidential control over nearly all aspects of American citizen’s lives.
Here are a few examples. Obama’s Executive Orders allow the President the following:
*President can declare a State of National Emergency, instituting martial law and Congress cannot review the action for 6 months
*Office of Emergency Planning is authorized to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of increased international tensions and/or economic or financial crisis
*Department of Justice will be allowed to operate penal/correctional institutions (FEMA internment camps)
*FEMA authorized to establish control over the production/distribution of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit and flow of money in any undefined National Emergency
*Feds will control the entire financial sector, power grid, water systems and transportation networks, including all modes of transportation including land, sea, railways, air, as well as personal vehicles and boats and other recreational vehicles
*Complete control over all food, farms, livestock, farm equipment, fertilizer, seeds, food production as well as all water resources
*Feds are allowed to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision, without compensation
*Feds will control all health resources and welfare functions
*Postmaster General will operate a national registration of all people
*Housing and finance authority can test new population locations and relocate citizens accordingly
*Feds have the power to freeze all bank accounts and stop any financial transaction that a ‘sanctioned person’ may own or try to perform. If the Prez. , Secretary of the State or Secretary or the Treasury declares an individual to be a ‘sanctioned person,’ that person will be unable to access their accounts, unable to process or make loans and unable to move money to any other financial institution inside or outside the U.S. Neither can a third party access the accounts for the ‘sanctioned person.’ If the ‘sanctioned person’ feels the ruling is unfair, he cannot sue, therefore, the Feds are now literally allowed to rob us blind and we have no recourse. This will soon include IRA’s, 401K accounts, stocks, bonds or any other retirement funds. No proof of any wrong doing by the government is required.
On September 9, 2012, DHS Secretary, Janet Napolitano stated that an Executive Order granting the President sweeping power over the Internet is “close to completion.” But, of course it is! We would expect nothing less from this administration.
In addition, as if there were any facet of our lives the Feds don’t have control over, BO and Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton are hell-bent on signing the United Nations Treaty On Small Arms Trade, which will nullify our 2nd Amendment right to bear arms unless Congress objects. And I think it’s been proven that Congress is not going to object. Gun confiscation under penalty of prison will occur.
After all, it’s difficult to establish a totalitarian government if the citizens are armed and ready to fight to retain their freedom. Senator Ron Paul warned, “As sure as government health care will be forced on us by the Obama administration through whatever means necessary, so will gun control.”
So, what does all this add up to? Our President can literally decide to declare a National State of Emergency, for ANY reason whatsoever, which gives him the authority to institute martial law and enact all of his Executive Orders. Seriously, the parameters for his ability to do this are vast. Someone looks at him funny—he can declare a state of emergency. He gets a hangnail—state of emergency. It’s just that vague.
He can cut off the power to any or all cities. He can cut off food and water distribution, and forbid escape from this country by any means. He can freeze ALL bank accounts and other assets of every citizen. He can literally round up Americans and throw them into the FEMA camps without charge, attorneys or redress of any kind. He now has that power, and very soon, will be able to shut off communication to the outside world through the internet.
So, would he really do that? Does the Pope wear a funny hat? Do politicians lie? Do dogs target fire hydrants? OF COURSE HE WILL!!!
