On September 12, 2018, by Executive Order 13848, the President declared a national emergency pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701
et seq.) to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States constituted by the threat of foreign interference in or undermining public confidence in United States elections.
Although there has been no evidence of a foreign power altering the outcomes or vote tabulation in any United States election, foreign powers have historically sought to exploit America's free and open political system. In recent years, the proliferation of digital devices and internet-based communications has created significant vulnerabilities and magnified the scope and intensity of the threat of foreign interference. The ability of persons located, in whole or in substantial part, outside the United States to interfere in or undermine public confidence in United States elections, including through the unauthorized accessing of election and campaign infrastructure or the covert distribution of propaganda and disinformation, continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States. For this reason, the national emergency declared on September 12, 2018, must continue in effect beyond September 12, 2025. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13848 with respect to the threat of foreign interference in or undermining public confidence in United States elections.

If this is the low-key warfare waged by most countries all the time then it’s ‘normal’ and not an emergency.
Is it not obvious that Homeland Security has been more of an infringement on our rights than it’s been a deterrence to terrorism? Ms. Noam would do well to follow Linda McMahan’s mission over at Department of Education and start dismantling every non-essential office.
If they’re not going to go after the Jihadis, cartel gangs and Chinese infiltrators what good are they?
DJT initiated 13848 in 2018 knowing full well he would “lose” 2020. 13848 sets up the sting operation against what we refer now, as does trump, to the stolen election, and the current COG.
Personally I think these emergency orders are like a surrender.
