President Obama signs Executive Order allowing for control over all US resources
examiner.com ^ | March 17, 2012 | Kenneth Schortgen Jr

Posted on 03/17/2012 5:05:01 PM PDT by upchuck

On March 16th, President Obama signed a new Executive Order which expands upon a prior order issued in 1950 for Disaster Preparedness, and gives the office of the President complete control over all the resources in the United States in times of war or emergency.

The National Defense Resources Preparedness order gives the Executive Branch the power to control and allocate energy, production, transportation, food, and even water resources by decree under the auspices of national defense and national security. The order is not limited to wartime implementation, as one of the order's functions includes the command and control of resources in peacetime determinations.

Additionally, each cabinet under the Executive Branch has been given specific powers when the order is executed, and include the absolute control over food, water, and other resource distributions.

The Obama administration appears to be preparing for a long drawn out war in the Middle East, or at the very least, an expected crisis that will require the need to override Constitutional authority and claim dominion over all resources in the United States under the guise of national defense. With the rise in Disaster Preparedness growing for both individuals and states leading up to yesterday's Executive Order, the mood of the nation points strongly towards some event or disaster that will require massive preparations on a national as well as local scale.

About 7:30 PM CDT, Freeper “tung soo” (never had heard of him) posted up the thread article on this subject. There were some heads in there commenting that seemed to have more to add than just gritching about Obama. That thread had four or five meat and potatos items, and a few minutes ago it was still up, but now on page two of the main board.

I looked for the comment that caused our confusion and didn’t find it before phones rang, etc., etc., and I haven’t gotten back to search. But, what I paraphrased to you blew my mind. That this could have been, over the course of eleven years, so piece meal legislated as to thwart hope to some extent that this EO can be undone.

Scary stuff that comment. And then on this thread we have a poster saying all military camps are closed for maneuvers March 22 & 23rd. Just wow. Can I get enough candles together by then! To use, and to pray under their light. :)

There are some intersting sites that are science based and also one of my favorite Christian sites that have been doing stories on an expected sun flare more serious than the ones who have reportedly already knocked out a few cell phones and electronics.

It could take a few days for restoration in fact. I don’t know if that is of interest to you, and my being helpful when I’m pooped has already this evening caused some confusion, but for what it’s worth.... LOL!! :)

There is some kind of financial auction on Monday Mar 19th which will be a
precursor for a planned Greek default on Friday Mar 23rd.
A lot of financial blogger chatter about the start of the global finance system crashing Monday Mar 25th because of this default.
I have no idea if it’s true or any relationship with the base closures, but we’ll know by the end of next week.
Here’s the original blog.

>I would assume that somewhere in the governmental structure there has to be a strategy/plan that deals with a rogue presidential administration.<

.
And who is in charge and manages that plan?

With all due respect Mr. Toespi, the guys and gals we have in Congress these days are more concerned with what type of lightbulbs you use, how big your showerhead is, how large a watertank you have on your crapper, what your carbon footprint is, than the trillions of dollars of debt that we are in. Their intelligence and interest don’t reach further than that.

The smartest folks in our country are definitely NOT IN GOVERNMENT — they are trying to make an honest living.

So he signed the EO on 03/16, but it will only take effect in September? Is that what you’re saying? If so, that’s might convenient (think elections).

How do you know this by the way? Did I miss something in the article?

No, I didn’t know that.

It was a scary enough comment though, that’s for sure, and conceivably possible over the course of 11 years, but with *this* senate of ours, now VERY conceivable.

The whole EO came from somewhere, because the forces used to enforce it are not on our soil. They will have to be “arranged” elsewhere. Heck, even that million man march man, what’shisname, holds Obama in NO high esteem, so who else.....oh, I get it......Muslims?

Sgt Dave? What is your opinion on the Military following orders that are illegal,why is no one in the military speaking up? Why are they being so willing to go along? I want to know? It is frightening to think that the Police, US military is just falling in line? What Army does he need when he has FEMA,FBI,DEA,ATF DOJ and the US Military. And thanks for your service Sgt Dave.

I agree. I work at a military base and the old guard is being forced out to let younger more inexperienced people take over.

Expecting about 20,000 to be dumped out of the military and onto the unemployment lines around San Diego. People in mid-career. At the same time, there was just a $30 million recruiting effort in San Diego. Makes me wonder if the aim is to gut the experienced troops and replace with noobies unprepared to deal with the crap Obama has in mind.

You’ve hit on something! Maybe we should start a time line that documents upcoming stuff that causes one to say, “hum?” I’ll be glad to start...

March 22-23 Military bases closed for training post #159

April 9-14 99% Spring “training” (Occupy Mov’t next deal)

April 19 A day associated with much violence, also the first shot fired at Lexington and Concord. Link: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_19) Interestingly, this link was last modified today!

There is something coming up in May, but I can’t remember what. It would be interesting to see this list fill out with other scheduled events that could garner national attention.

This is bizarre, did you know that military bases are closed March 22nd and 23rd for exercises

Look at your calendar. March 22nd is the new moon. What a fine choice of days for "exercises".

I had a consulting career out of my house but homeschooled two sons with their Dad, Harvard tutors, and me. The oldest completed high school and got a high SAT score in the tenth grade. He was ready for college but he wanted to play lacross and girls at the high school so he did that. The youngest followed in his footsteps. Both boys wracked up a lot of advancement placement college credits while at high school. They ran a couple of businesses with me and packed away a lot of money for college. Then they went off to college one semester ahead. We had a blast together and grew very close. They are well rounded independent guys. One is getting his PhD in science and the younger guy just graduated with a business degree.
