Ok...so Drudge and others are talking about the E.O. that was re-signed by Obama on Friday with the additional words "non-emergency" added to it as well.
Dig a little deeper...now mind you I am not jumping on the Alex Jones bandwagon just yet...but what's up with these other E.O.'s being signed days and weeks apart that actually link right along with what was re-signed and amended on Friday night?

As stated in the 2010 National Security Strategy and the Presidential Policy Directive on Global Development, the successful pursuit of development is essential to advancing our national security objectives: security, prosperity, respect for universal values, and a just and sustainable international order. The effectiveness of this development policy will depend in large measure on how we engage with partners, beneficiaries of our development assistance, and stakeholders. We will use evidence-based decision-making in all areas of U.S. development policy and programs, and we commit to foster development expertise and learning worldwide.

Executive Order 13602 of March 15, 2012
Establishing a White House Council on Strong Cities, Strong Communities
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and in order to forge a partnership with local communities to provide them with comprehensive technical assistance to use and compete for Federal resources more effectively and efficiently, which will enable them to develop and implement economic strategies to become more competitive, sustainable, and inclusive, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Policy.
Cities, towns, and regions across our Nation continue to face difficult economic challenges. Enhancing current Federal assistance is helping to lift communities out of distress. To allow the Federal Government to better partner with these local communities to build local capacity to address economic issues, and to support comprehensive planning and regional collaboration, my Administration established the Strong Cities, Strong Communities (SC2) pilot initiative. By partnering with cities and regions to augment their vision for stability and economic growth, the SC2 was designed to help communities strengthen their capacity to create jobs and more competitive business climates, and implement locally driven community and regional planning approaches that lead to sustained economic growth, as well as ensure that Federal assistance is more efficiently provided and used.
This order improves the way the Federal Government engages with and supports local communities by better aligning resources and coordinating efforts across executive departments and agencies (agencies) so that communities across the country have access to comprehensive, localized technical assistance and planning resources to develop and implement their economic vision and strategies.
Sec. 2. White House Council on Strong Cities, Strong Communities.

“Just updating previous such orders.....” Nothing to see hear. Move along. Move along
With Sheriff Arpaio investigation to show probable cause for identity fraud, document forgery, social security fraud, it appears that the Criminal-in-Chief is getting set to seize total control of the citizens of the USA
And Americans once wondered how did a free people in Germany allow themselves to be taken over by a demonic leader...
That won't happen. The Attorney General will arrest him, and.....oh...wait....
if you’ve already seen the article / subject before getting pinged by the ‘nut-job conspiracy’ list...
does that mean your tinfoil is a bit too tight?
;)
thanks for ping
0bama told us he would do this back in 2010.
My UPS delivery guy informed me last week that he has been delivering more ammo than normal since the first of the year. A lot more ammo. IMIM193 5.56 55gr is almost impossible to find and IMIM855 5.56 62gr is getting extremely scarce.
I think it is very telling that Ben Shapiro (name right?), Breitbart editor, is going to continue “vetting” Zero but no the forged docs since “no one is interested” or something. Read it on some thread today.
IMHO that is proof Breitbart was taken out. It wasn’t about the videos, maybe; but about his connecting up with Arpaio.
This is designed to overwhelm Americans. To drive us into either fealty to the feds or revolt.
Of this I am certain, he will not go quietly into that good night.
Be prepared!...for he is preparing.
Curiouser and curiouser.....
Don’t worry about it. Its just a Marxist takeover.

Agenda 21
Yep, exactly what I thought when I read about Executive Order 13602.
Searched for it, zero responses. Indication it is very new, or the search terms have been removed.
You're right to a certain degree. Personally, I am not willing to die for anyone who voted this madman-bastard into office; let the chips fall where they may where those people are concerned.
Another element I'm not willing to die for is the so called conservatives that just got involved only after the monster was elected. Many are on here and for the first few months were actually bragging about not voting for McCain, well, because it just went against everything they believed in. So they now have their principles fully in tact don't they?
I don't know what your answer is or when the so-called 'armed population' is suppose to act. What do you have in mind? Just when exactly should the sacrifice begin in your opinion?
Couple of things that is in my own personal philosophy is from Patton. The movie recounted many of his own personal speeches but I'm not sure this one, whether it was Hollywood or Patton but still is pertinent about the subject of dying/sacrifice imo:
"I want you to remember, that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it...by making the other poor, dumb bastard die for his country."
Don't know when the green light will come on but I have a feeling that many of us will know exactly the time to act.
We have the gutless wonders in Congress to thank for this as well. The system has failed dramatically and completely due to the fear you spoke of. We are on our own.
Yep, 2 weapons for every man woman and child in the state.
Apparently he decides if and when Congress gets to be in session; apparently he decides parts of laws to NOT implement (isn't that a line-item veto by other means?).
Personally, I am not willing to die for anyone who voted this madman-bastard into office; let the chips fall where they may where those people are concerned.
Another element I’m not willing to die for is the so called conservatives that just got involved only after the monster was elected.
To hell with them. And I would not join our military today.
If they bring back the draft, I’ll help some of the Draft
Didgers.
What a great invention, Tupperware. Saw the documentary they made about it the other day, again. Doubt they’d allow someone to tinker around and make it today on their own.
