As Longbow1969 said in his above posts this EO has been in existence since 1994... I remember the left wing lunatics saying exactly the same as some people on our side when Bush was President and regarding similar EO he issued... He was going to take their liberties and put them in concentration camps, they shouted...

Fair enough.

I realize this EO originally dates from 1950. Considering that the Cold War ended in 1991, why would Clinton renew it in 1994? Why would it be renewed now? What would be the reason?

Non-crazy explanations only, please.

I hope and pray you are right.

DU seems to think its a big deal:

26. I support Obama on this, you are right but there is more.

The Clinton amendment did not accomplish what the Obama one does.

Compare them side by side, and include the Reagan version and the 1950 act.

Certain key words have been changed. This EO does give the President powers the others did not.

This EO also is all inclusive which the others were not.

This EO also gives the government the power to dictate to private businesses, issue guaranteed loans, and also ties up the banks in new and exciting ways.

Read all the versions and pay attention to any changes as they are very significant and far reaching. If Bush had done this I/We would be freaking out like never before, Obama doing this is a completely different story.

This was predicted / expected to happen after the election in November. Why he did it now is the most important question.

In actuality “National Defense” is only the premise used to enforce this order.

Read section 102 on the Clinton version, and the Obama version, the change was 1 word. That 1 word changes everything, and does change the EO to something completely different that is crafted of “need” as opposed to “Threat.

Need is a ubiquitous concept, threat is a very narrow one in comparison. That is only the second segment. Once you read the whole thing you understand the scope of it is unprecedented, and the very thing we need to neutralize the Conservative agenda, and ell the obstructionism practiced by the Republican congress.

We’ll see.

This is the move I have been waiting for, and hoping I was not imagining he would do this. I thought he would do it in December after a won second term. He must know something we don’t that allows him, or compels him to do it now.

In a stunning move, on March 16, 2012, Barack Obama signed an Executive Order stating that the President and his specifically designated Secretaries now have the authority to commandeer all domestic U.S. resources including food and water. The EO also states that the President and his Secretaries have the authority to seize all transportation, energy, and infrastructure inside the United States as well as forcibly induct/draft American citizens into the military. The EO also contains a vague reference in regards to harnessing American citizens to fulfill “labor requirements” for the purposes of national defense. Not only that, but the authority claimed inside the EO does not only apply to National Emergencies and times of war. It also applies in peacetime. The National Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order exploits the “authority” granted to the President in the Defense Production Act of 1950 in order to assert that virtually every means of human survival is now available for confiscation and control by the President via his and his Secretaries’ whim. The unconstitutionality of the overwhelming majority of Executive Orders is well established, as well as the illegality of denying citizens their basic Constitutional and human rights, even in the event of a legitimate national emergency. Likewise, it should also be pointed out that, like Obama’s recent Libyan adventure and the foregone conclusion of a Syrian intervention, there is no mention of Congress beyond a minor role of keeping the allegedly co-equal branch of government informed on contextually meaningless developments.

The part where it says also applies in peace time should ring a few bells if there are any there to ring. This is a huge power grab and were it not for the New Media and FR in particular probably would have gone unnoticed like so many other things done after midnight in the regime.
