On April 15, Preident Biden signed an Executive Order on Blocking Property with Respect to Specified Harmful Foreign Activities of the Government of the Russian Federation. Contrary to its title, this EO is not about Russia. It is designed to allow the Biden administration to deprive American citizens and organizations of their rights and property by arbitrarily linking those persons to real, imagined, or vaguely defined activities of the Russian government.
The Biden administration unilaterally makes the determination and requires neither criminal acts nor intent. The punishment is blocking assets and a prohibition on any dealing with the accused person. Spouses and adult children of individuals found guilty by accusation under this EO are punished, too.
Biden’s administration has been recently pushing so many other radical changes, such as packing the Supreme Court, eliminating the filibuster, restricting Second Amendment rights, etc., that the real ramifications of this new EO went completely unnoticed. In my opinion, this EO is the most dangerous of them all. It allows the Biden regime to eliminate its opposition, quickly and quietly.
Some of the language in this EO borrows from another: EO-13224 - Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten To Commit, or Support Terrorism. George W. Bush signed EO-13224 on September 23, 2001, in response to 9/11.
However, Biden’s EO is as similar to Bush’s EO as an atomic bomb is to a sniper rifle.
In contrast, Biden’s new EO is directed mostly at US persons. It criminalizes speech and political activities, based on whimsical and arbitrary definitions. The Biden administration can define “malicious activities,” “democratic processes or institutions,” and the activities that undermine them as it wants.

Wow!
Not bad for a community organizer who disdains capitalism.

“Which side should I be on?”

One of them.
yep ... that’s how I see it.
So let’s say Trump runs in 2024. Democrats again concoct a Russian collusion story...does this mean they could round up all the MAGA folks without due process?

The election will be won in a landslide by Biden or Harris. All DJT votes will be switched like in 2020, but in a less obvious manner. They will be sworn in directly after the election - Constitution not withstanding. Then the rounds up begin ...
Full blown dictatorship.
Braindead slug doesn’t know what he signed and wouldn’t care about due process even if cognizant, which he isn’t.
This EO is purely about destroying a movement. The Russia, Russia, Russia boogieman again, aimed at Americans. Ignore China.
Who, or what, is behind this??
US ain't gonna do nothin though.
Hate to be so pessimistic, it just seems like if we (what we means, i dunno) were going to defend anything, it would have happened by now. The enemy is empowered by our lack of any effective push back. Our leaders are complicit back stabbing cowards and we will not be allowed to elect anyone else to our demise. There is that word again...We.
my vse dolzhny nachat’ pisat’ po russki i deystvitel’no putat’ veshchi
How about blocking Biden from the Chinese assets like the bank accounts he and his son have offshore somewhere?
Thirty posts and not a single poster read the article.
“Ok, so that seems a little bit of a stretch, but what is really going on here? “
Nothing is going on here. It’s more fear-porn from the screaming little girls at the entirely misnamed American Thinker.
