On March 16th, President Obama signed a new Executive Order which expands upon a prior order issued in 1950 for Disaster Preparedness, and gives the office of the President complete control over all the resources in the United States in times of war or emergency.
The National Defense Resources Preparedness order gives the Executive Branch the power to control and allocate energy, production, transportation, food, and even water resources by decree under the auspices of national defense and national security. The order is not limited to wartime implementation, as one of the order's functions includes the command and control of resources in peacetime determinations.
Section 101. Purpose. This order delegates authorities and addresses national defense resource policies and programs under the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (the "Act").
(b) assess on an ongoing basis the capability of the domestic industrial and technological base to satisfy requirements in peacetime and times of national emergency, specifically evaluating the availability of the most critical resource and production sources, including subcontractors and suppliers, materials, skilled labor, and professional and technical personnel; - White House

Well you should have been screaming for a long time because this EO represents pretty much the same state of affairs that have been in force since 1933.
Several comments say the same thing. Do you have any idea why the need to rewrite an existing law if nothing is different?
There was a pretty good analysis on the sidebar this morning. Effectively, the main reason is that we now have a DHS where we had various other lines of authority. The purpose was a clarification.
Now, that does NOT mean that everything is hunky dory and we can go back to sleep. Effectively, pursuant to the bankruptcy of 1933, the President has been invested by our creditors with illegal and unchecked military powers within US borders (which is why I provided the link above; I urge you to read it all).
Jeepers. Thanks for the ping!
Geeze, I must be blind. I don’t see the legal analysis comparing the 1933 EO powers to Obama’s current EO in the side bar. Would you put a link so we can all read it. Thanks.
Sorry, I thought my prior post had a link. Must have goofed in posting. As to the article this morning, here. I did not say that the article went back to 1933. I was saying that the powers have been in place since 1933 and did offer and refer you to a link above to Barefoot's World that discusses the War Powers Act and the Trading with the Enemy Act. I urged you to read it. Did you?
Thanks!
This article has a video in which they break down this Executive Order line by line. Please take a listen and have the EO in front of you to follow along.

“In a nutshell, it’s the blueprint for Peacetime Martial Law and it gives the president the power to take just about anything deemed necessary for “National Defense”, whatever they decide that is.”
The regime drumbeat of Dictator Baby-Doc Barack grows ever louder - - - .
” - - - that nearly led standing Presidents to hold dictatorial power over the citizenry.”
Dictator Baby-Doc Barack - - - - .
BTW, did you also notice a chill in the air?

They haven’t followed the constitution in a while - and that is because we don’t fight for it.
In the end we have pushed for this imbalanced mess - to follow the constitution means stopping the giant monstrosity that is the Federal Government. Unfortunately we all wanted the FedGov to push our pet political ideas (with the power of a gun behind it). And they did our bidding and now everything is a federal crime. Everything is a lawsuit. And everything we do has to be approved by a bureaucrat in Washington.
The FedGov, according to the constitution, shouldn’t be pushing anyone’s pet ideas. They should be in existence to protect our liberties and our borders and that’s about it.
But everyone wanted this monster - and now we have it - the same monster that will eventually crush christians and conservatives. We can all point our fingers in the mirror to see who is to blame. We asked for a mighty, ruthless giant, and we got one. God help us.
” - - - war time brings the country together and a President always gets re-elected during war time, so your theory might be right. If Obama feels like he is going to lose the election he might go to war with Iran, - - - .”
Zipper-Boy Clinton bombed Bosnia to help him win re-election, so do you think Dictator Baby-Doc Barack will use the same tactic now?
BTW, just what IS the “Carbon Footprint” of an A-Bomb? (I guess it depends upon what “is” is).
I find it amazing that the entire leftist media still follows him and no one questions his actions or motives. Some day something is going to happen that causes some retrospection and when it does I wonder if there will be anyone left in DeeCee with the courage to drag the facilitators before an investigative body.
A politician will do anything to keep their power.
I doubt many of them care how many young men die. I think they are more interested in ‘what’s for lunch.’
Politician’s are, by profession, expert liars and manipulators.
Oh, I don't know about that. It might be a nice club to have so that the networks stay polite after 07 November 2012. Otherwise their *resource* might have to be *temporarily* taken in trust by the incoming Republican administration.
Unless, of course, they run Romney or Santorum.
