What's With All of the Executive Order's Flying Fast?

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?

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.

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:

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.

There is established a White House Council on Strong Cities, Strong Communities (Council)

(a) 　 Membership. In addition to the Co-Chairs, the Council shall consist of the following members: 　 (i) 　 the Secretary of the Treasury; (ii) 　 the Secretary of Defense; (iii) 　 the Attorney General; (iv) 　 the Secretary of the Interior; (v) 　 the Secretary of Agriculture; (vi) 　 the Secretary of Commerce; (vii) 　 the Secretary of Labor; (viii) 　 the Secretary of Health and Human Services; (ix) 　 the Secretary of Transportation; (x) 　 the Secretary of Energy; (xi) 　 the Secretary of Education; (xii) 　 the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; (xiii) 　 the Secretary of Homeland Security; (xiv) 　 the Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers; (xv) 　 the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency; (xvi) 　 the Director of the Office of Management and Budget; (xvii) 　 the Administrator of General Services; (xviii) 　 the Administrator of the Small Business Administration; (xix) 　 the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation for National and Community Service; (xx) 　 the Chairperson of the National Endowment for the Arts; (xxi) 　 the Senior Advisor and Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental Affairs and Public Engagement; (xxii) 　 the Assistant to the President and Cabinet Secretary; (xxiii) 　 the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy; (xxiv) 　 the Chair of the Council on Environmental Quality; (xxv) 　 the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy; and (xxvi) 　 the heads of such other agencies and offices as the President may, from time to time, designate. A member of the Council may designate, to perform the Council functions of the member, a senior level official who is a part of the member's agency or office, and who is a full time officer or employee of the Federal Government. (b) 　 Administration. The Co Chairs shall convene regular meetings of the Council, determine its agenda, and direct its work. The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall appoint an Executive Director of the Council to coordinate the Council's activities. At the direction of the Co Chairs, the Council may establish subgroups consisting exclusively of Council members or their designees, as appropriate. Agencies may detail staff to the Council to support its coordination and implementation efforts.

The Council shall, to the extent permitted by law, work across agencies and offices to:

(a) 　 coordinate the development and implementation of the various components of the SC2, as determined by the Co Chairs; (b) 　 coordinate agency efforts to ensure communities have access to comprehensive, localized technical assistance and planning resources to develop and execute their economic vision and strategies (including, where appropriate, efforts of existing committees or task forces related to providing technical assistance to local governments and improving their capacity to address economic issues); (c) 　 ensure that members of the Council incorporate SC2 implementation efforts into their agency annual performance plans and those efforts' outcomes into their annual performance results; (d) 　 provide recommendations to the President, through the Co Chairs on: 　 (i) 　 policies for building local expertise in strengthening local economies; (ii) 　 changes to Federal policies and programs to address issues of special importance to cities and local governments that pertain to local capacity and economic growth; (iii) 　 implementing best practices from the SC2 initiative Government-wide to better support cities and local governments; and (iv) 　 opportunities to increase the flexible utilization of existing Federal program resources across agencies to enable more performance and outcome-based funding; (e) 　 encourage the development of technical assistance, planning, and financing tools and implementation strategies that can be coordinated or aligned across agencies to assist communities in building local capacity to address economic issues, engaging in comprehensive planning, and advancing regional collaboration; and (f) 　 facilitate the exchange of ideas and strategies to help communities address economic challenges and create sustained economic opportunity.

Consistent with the objectives set forth in this order, the Council, in accordance with applicable law, shall conduct outreach to representatives of nonprofit organizations, businesses, labor organizations, State and local government agencies, school districts, elected officials, faith and other community based organizations, philanthropies, other institutions of local importance, and other interested persons with relevant expertise in the expansion and improvement of efforts to build local capacity to address economic issues in cities and communities. The Council will convene an annual meeting of interested parties including mayors and city employees to share key findings and progress, offer best practices, and promote strategies that have worked in communities participating in the initiative.

Within 1 year of the date of this order, and annually thereafter, the Executive Director shall provide a report to the Co Chairs on the work of the Council and its achievements during the year, including demonstrable changes in the capacity of local communities to implement their economic development goals and efforts to achieve more efficient and effective use of Federal resources.

Usurper (most likely an illegal alien) as POTUS:

Oh no, the Clinton’s would NEVER let that happen
Oh no, the Republicans would NEVER let that happen.
Oh no, the 50 SOS’s would NEVER let that happen.
Oh no, the Congress would NEVER let that happen.
Oh no, the Military would NEVER let the happen.
Oh no, the Supreme Court would NEVER let that happen.
Oh no, the Conservative media would NEVER let that happen.
Oh no, the Secret Service would NEVER let that happen.
Oh no, the Judiciary would NEVER let that happen.

Fast and Furious:

Oh no, Homeland Security would NEVER let that happen.
Oh no, the FBI would NEVER let that happen.
Oh no, the ATF would NEVER let that happen.

When we get to that point in our communist future where we decide we have nothing to lose, those Patton quotes will come in handy. We’ll need a Patton, a George Washington, maybe even a Spartacus to lead us.

When I said the Tea Party was a nice try, I meant the same thing you said. We won in Nov 2010, but began to lose in January 2011. We needed to get angry at those politicians we sent to DC. Really angry. To quote my favorite movie hero Josie Wales: “Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you’re not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. ‘Cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live nor win. That’s just the way it is.”

We failed to do that. The communists and GOP eunuchs beat us through our own complacency. We never thought the communists would win, so we just assumed that the problem would go away. Now we’re going to pay for that assumption (and you know what they say about ASSUME!)

My theory on all this is the juggling act the FED and EU are engaged in is getting a little too complicated and soon gravity is gonna win and we all lose our balls.

These EO's to "secure" the Internet and the resources and such are just opening moves to a game that is going to get bloody real quick.

Stock market crashes and bank runs aren't all that big a concern to most folks being their portfolios are gutted and hardly anyone is saving money when passbook savings accounts and money market savings rates are under 2%.

BUT when bank runs and market crashes affect the food supply (especially if the Dollar collapses) THEN the government will have to pull the plug on the Internet and declare marshal law because if they don't most of them will be hanging from the street lights within a couple of weeks.

Take down the Internet and have troops patrolling the streets and you stop the avalanche before it starts.

If they don't close down the net; even if Obama and crew had the best interests of the country at heart (which I am sure they don't); they run the risk of a Revolution starting and an overthrow of the government. They've seen it happen in the last year with the Arab Spring. No government is going to risk that.

Government seeks to control... period!

"Let’s be clear about this - Obama cannot legally ‘suspend’ the Constitution and declare himself ‘President for life’."

I honestly don't think these measures are for that issue. Now I may be wrong on such but I have a suspicion that all this stuff (Internet shutdown authority Law, takeover of resources EO, marshal law EO) is a natural response from what happened during the Arab Spring.

See the FED and the EU are engaged in a Juggling act that can't last. Soon someone makes a connection and the markets are going to crash and the bank runs will start and if it is bad enough to stop the food supplies in the US then we will have us and Honest to God Revolution.

But if you shut down the Internet and control the resources and have armed troops in the streets you can cut the legs right out from under such before it starts. Maybe even stop the run on the banks. (Hard to do modern day banking without the Internet)

That leader is out there somewhere. I believe that with my entire being. There are many solid patriots. Many who have already fought...and they are true leaders. Being American is not just about the country, being American is a thought process. Some of us are ingrained with it and recognize what is being done for what it is. We have pursued (and should pursue) all avenues peacefully but our enemy is also in our ranks (repubs).

Remember, only 20%-some say 30% (I believe that is an overly liberal estimate) of the population fought in the Revolutionary war while the remainder of the population didn’t want to get involved or they were on the side of the Tories. Those figures are probably pretty much in line with today’s population.

Love that quote from Josie Wales!

Hey...be sure to take a look at that interview if you have a chance.

Been terrific chatting with you.

“WHAT can be done about it?”
___________________________________________
This topic is frequent here on FR.
The problem is that you are not fighting a foreign invasion.
You are fighting the opinions of misguided fellow citizens, as well as the illegals.

All the talk of stocking up on ammo and Tupperware full of beans is little more then whistling in your britches.
You are not going to pull off a new American revolution
with guns, as you will be fighting your fellow citizens,
not the king of England, even though you see them as foreign invaders.
Unfortunately, America is not alone with turmoil .
It is festering all over the globe.

Since I am now retired, I have been fortunate enough to
leave and see other parts of the world, starting in Central Europe, and now in Asia.
There is just no way that I would be able to tolerate what
fellow Americans are now suffering, and there not a damn way in the world that my staying there would be of any help.

In my opinion, if Americans are foolish enough to reelect
Obumbo, it will be all over but the shouting.
Even if he is defeated, it will be very hard to undo the damage, and return to the country that we had under Ronald Reagan.

Who was it that answered the question “What’s there to worry about?” with the answer “nothing”? Who was it that said “Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!”? That’s who I was addressing that too, and anyone else who thinks this is nothing to worry about.

Three things come to mind for these Executive Orders

First...war ahead with Iran/Syria, perhaps sooner rather than later. Political move for having stalled BeBe off until it’s to Obamas advantage in the election.

Second...He said he’d go move ahead without congress. To show he’s the man with the power and nobody’ts going to get one over on him.

Third....All moves position the USA for Global Governance...and to squell any outrage when it’s a go. They’re already saying Obma needs to be the leader.

I think you don’t understand the extent that the election process and voting has been corrupted.

The GOP itself is committing fraud in the caucus and nomination process and no one is doing anything about it.

If the so called principled party is committing fraud, then what the democrats will do is breathtaking in its criminality.

Both parties are corrupt at this point, by the globalist money and the globalist agenda. They won’t have to re-elect Obama, because Obama or Romney, both have allegiance to foreign interests and either one will do for the globalist agenda and coming officially sanctioned global government.

With this EO, all Obama’s councils have to do is say, if we pledge allegiance to global government we will be helping all the other countries in the world we are supposed to help with the EO.

This race is EU or NAU (obama or romney). Not good for the American people AT all.
