US President Barack Obama quietly signed his name to an Executive Order on Friday, allowing the White House to control all private communications in the country in the name of national security.
President Obama released his latest Executive Order on Friday, July 6, a 2,205-word statement offered as the “Assignment of National Security and Emergency Preparedness Communications Functions.” And although the president chose not to commemorate the signing with much fanfare, the powers he provides to himself and the federal government under the latest order are among the most far-reaching yet of any of his executive decisions.
“The Federal Government must have the ability to communicate at all times and under all circumstances to carry out its most critical and time sensitive missions,” the president begins the order. “Survivable, resilient, enduring and effective communications, both domestic and international, are essential to enable the executive branch to communicate within itself and with: the legislative and judicial branches; State, local, territorial and tribal governments; private sector entities; and the public, allies and other nations.”
President Obama adds that it is necessary for the government to be able to reach anyone in the country during situations it considers critical, writing, “Such communications must be possible under all circumstances to ensure national security, effectively manage emergencies and improve national resilience.” Later the president explains that such could be done by establishing a “joint industry-Government center that is capable of assisting in the initiation, coordination, restoration and reconstitution of NS/EP [national security and emergency preparedness] communications services or facilities under all conditions of emerging threats, crisis or emergency.”
“The views of all levels of government, the private and nonprofit sectors, and the public must inform the development of NS/EP communications policies, programs and capabilities,” he adds.

And mccain, Graham, Rudy, Christie, boner et al all say it’s okay because it’s to keep us safe.
If they’re photographing the outsides of letters sent through the post office, what do you think?
Really?
What world war are we in, now?
What national freak of nature have we incurred in all but two of the States?
What major threat do we face, since you have said the war on terrorism is over?
Once again, the narcissistic queer Kenyan boy-king, who always has the “one-hand-typing-on-AOL syndrome”, has perceived an invisible threat to his invisible manhood, and blames it upon John Q. and Jane Q. Public!
Lay down a grand and you can get some distance.
House to house searches will sure as heck kick off SHTF.
Do you think the "an essay" only listens to peons?
Every congress critter had a rather thick "an assay" file, a file chock full of interesting facts that the "an essay" has not only recorded, like yours and mine, but has diligently transcribed, indexed and cross referenced...
Thank you. I try to pick new and interesting graphics for this ping list.
I love Big Brother. Anything else is Thoughtcrime.
all these EO’s must be undone....this cat is a criminal who thinks he’s Polpot
With bs meters pegging every day, a brother's gotta do what it takes to get through, you know? What can I say? It's been a bad week.
Don’t worry yourself. The Congress will approve it.
He owns them, Lock, Stock, and barrel.

“Ham radio will be critical”........
Remember that the FCC controls the frequencies we Ham operators operate on. They can (would) shut those down very quickly when push comes to shove.
Looks like the Egyptians have it right. Time for a change?
How would they "shut down" those frequencies? I think they might be able to field enough jamming equipment to shut them down in some localized areas, but a blanket shutdown seems unlikely.
This Fascist-Commie Dictatorship seems to be getting a tad out of hand. Was the Executive Order from Der Fuhrer symbolically celebrated by pounding his Birkenstock sandal on the Oval Office desk? Or did he just use Lindsey Graham’s?
Der Fuehrer don't need no stinkin' approval.
All your Constitutional Amendments and Bill of Rights belong to him. And the Politburo. And his New Red Army.
and the still have no balls and no spine.
