But of course they are working on getting back to a dictatorship...much the same as we are facing here with our corrupt government that does nothing but violate their only duty: secure and protect individual rights.
We are in the 3rd day of the gov "shutdown" over Obamacare, which is turning out to be a total disaster. Many federal employees were sent home without pay, but some were required to continue working WITHOUT PAY, although if the past is any indication they will get back pay when the gov opens up again. In 9 days another crisis arrives: the debt limit will be reached and the gov will be "out of money", in addition to being $17T in debt. Actually, they've been out of money for quite awhile, but Obama has kept the printing presses running anyway. Hyper-inflation anyone? These events are on top of the "Fast & Furious" false flag operation, the IRS, TSA, NSA, FBI, EPA, and other scandals, all examples of the Obama administration illegally using federal agencies to harass his and the Democrats political enemies. Meanwhile, his wholly owned support group (ABC, NBS, CBS, CNN, AP, Rutgers, NPR, etc., Leftists one and all) blame everyone else except those causing the scandals and the problems! His foreign policy is equally bazaar. He aids our enemies and abuses our friends. The US has become a laughing stock in the world and NO world leader believes what the administration says.
I've come to the conclusion that there is a method to his madness. ALL of this makes sense if one assumes that his goal is to destroy the Constitution and this Republic and replace it with a Socialist worker's "paradise". All he needs is some national chaos to give him the excuse to declare a national emergency and activate E.O. 13603.
When I first read that document, before the scandals and todays serious problems, I didn't see it as the vehicle to establish a dictatorship. Now, I do. A President who can tell federal agencies to selectively target and harass his and the Democrats political enemies, knowing that his back would be covered by a sycophant press, is capable of executing Constitution destroying E.O.'s, and we have no idea of what the E.O.s that haven't been publicly revealed contain.
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Executive_Order_13603It's putative purpose is to "identify, assess, be prepared, improve, foster cooperation" among various cabinet heads and the agencies they control: "
The National Security Council and Homeland Security Council, in conjunction with the National Economic Council, shall serve as the integrated policymaking forum for consideration and formulation of national defense resource preparedness policy and shall make recommendations to the President on the use of authorities under the Act."
These agencies are: The Secretary of Homeland Security, The Defense Production Act Committee, The Secretary of Commerce and the Secretary of Defense. They are supposed to "
advise" the President and "
provide for the central coordination of the plans and programs", and to "
report to the President periodically". What leadership is envolved? PART VII — DEFENSE PRODUCTION ACT COMMITTEE, Sec. 701. The Defense Production Act Committee, lists the Attorney General and every cabinet secretary, PLUS the GSA, NASA and the Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers. Invited attendees are The Director of OMB and the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy. Who is missing from the lists of "emergency" leaders? The Congress, the Senate, and the Supreme Court. AG Holder apparently will represent the Judiciary. Can you imagine the current heads of the NSA, IRS, FBI, EPA, being our "supreme leaders"?
The key section is "Part II, Sec 201". Its important phrase is "
to require acceptance and priority performance of contracts or orders"
The rest of sec 201 describes what the various cabinet secretaries are authorized to do. A key player is the Dept. of Homeland Security: "
to support programs that have been determined in writing as necessary or appropriate to promote the national defense... including civil defense and continuity of Government". The "require acceptance of contracts or orders" is an important part of this E.O., which refers to "section 702 of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2152". That Act
http://uscode.house.gov/statutes/1970/1970-091-0379.pdf states that "The term 'defense contractor' means ANY PERSON who enters into a contract with the United States for the production of materials or performance of services for the national defense." IOW, you can be forced to accept a contract for goods or an order of service which automatically makes you a "defense contractor". The government owns you and everything you own or produce, to be disposed of as it sees fit, for national security, of course.
Part VIII sec 801 lists the topics that are under these "contracts" or "orders". They are:
Everything in the country that is of any value what soever.
This E.O. is part of the "Continuation of Government" supposedly designed to support and sustain the Rule of Law under our Constitution, although it shreds that document completely. The E.O. does, however, have its own "continuation of E.O.". Sec 802 gives them the power to "re-delegate authorities, and to authorize the successive re-delegation of authorities to agencies, officers, and employees of the Government", along with subpoena power against everybody except those mentioned in Part IV and V.
The Posse Comitatus Act has not been repealed. It prohibits the US Military from assisting local, state or federal law officers inside our borders. It exempts the National Guard. No problem. Switch the Army to the NG and set up "training" exercises in Huston, Florida, L.A., and smaller cities, towns and villages around the country. Stop people on highways, demand papers and search without a warrant. Give local FBI the "right to create and sign and execute their own search warrants, sans any probably cause. Cobra gunships flying 50 feet above a Florida interstate firing .50 cal machine guns (blanks) is training exactly for what? Invasion, insurrection, riots? Or, perhaps, a revolt against the imposition of martial law?
With almost half of the US population now getting some kind of federal assistance (and more free cell phones for signing up with Obamacare, along with being "Navigated" to a Democrat registration place) I doubt that there are enough votes remaining to stop this country's slide into Socialism. If you read Obama's book you'd know that his "mentor" was Frank Marshall Dave. Here's the sanitized version of his life:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Marshall_Davis . You can google for the real story. Pres. Obama's "mentor" was a hard core communist. So is Obama and most of the Democrat leadership. Over 80 of the 520 Congressmen are members of the "Congressional Progressive Caucus". The only honest member of the group is Bernie Sanders, who admits he is a Communist.
We are in for a rough ride in the days ahead, and it is predicted that this winter will be one of the coldest on record. Perfect time to declare marshal law.
