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?

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)

(b) 　 Administration. The Co Chairs shall convene regular meetings of the Council, determine its agenda, and direct its work.

Agencies may detail staff to the Council to support its coordination and implementation efforts.

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.

Signature of Barack Obama Barack Obama The White House, March 15, 2012. [FR Doc. 2012–xxxxx Filed 3–19–12; 8:45 am] Billing Code 3295–F2–P

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

Of course I understand it, and it is just one of the reasons for my last post.
America may be finished regardless of who wins this year, but if it is Obumbo, the destruction will continue on its current and accelerated pace.

There are three major contributors to the fall of America:

Election fraud
The educational systems, k-grad school
Marxist dominated media

That is one hell of a mess to correct at this point.

What you guys are missing is the governors and legislatures of the states and the power they have. They can do the very same thing the Feds do: declare a state of emergency and mobilize the national guard.

Should Obama illegally stay past his term of office, he automatically becomes a domestic terrorist. In each of the 50 states the govt could easily:

1. Seize any and all federal offices and U.S. military personnel and property who choose to follow Obama after his term expires and throw those people in jail as terrorists.

2. Seize any and all property and other assets of those same people in league with Obama.

3. Warn any member resident that if they choose to remain part of of the Obama terrorist organization that they are outlaws, they will have their residency revoked permanently after a stated grace period.

4. For any of the above who is either past the grace period or participates in actions for the Obama terrorist organization that attacks or harms a member of said state, they will be bumped permanently to fugitive terrorist status to be returned dead or alive, and if alive tried in a court of law.

5. Any member of the fed govt or military captured in an operation in support of the Obama terrorist organization will be shot without trial as a terrorist.

6. Provide clear warning to such action ahead of time to deter any and all cooperation with the Obama organizations terrorist activity.

7. Form and/or direct groups similar to the Texas Rangers in that state to hunt down any of the above and shoot anyone who resists, and back them up with the National Guard.

8. Organize militias and mobilize the national guard to defend key access points in to the state, shutting them down if necessary.

9. Withhold any and all tax money to the federal govt by declaring them funds in support of terrorism, mandating all businesses operating in that state cease withholding, and prosecuting any resident or business of that state who knowingly does not comply.

10. Use your imagination.

Obama wants to play hardball, the states can play hardball too. This is why you MUST work to get good people into state legislatures this November.

“The police unions, all the other unions, the NBPP, segments of the military, and foreign invaders/”guests” will support Obama.”

So tell me, General Bryan92, how well do you think the untrained clown gestapo will fare with the 1stMarDiv pounding them from the front, while the 3rd MAW destroys their flanks and headquarters?

Take a refresher course and read what happened to Dictator Qaddafi when he ordered his mercenaries and “elite guard” to kill military members and their families.

I’ll give away the ending: It didn’t end well for Qaddafi or his “elite” guards.
