THE EXECUTIVE ORDER

In effect, Obama’s recent Executive Order allows the federal government, directed by the President, to commandeer and control all aspects of the economy and the lives of all Americans.

It centralizes control to an astonishing and frightening degree.  It gives the President the power to declare Martial Law even in time of peace. It also, for example,  parcels out control to “ the Secretary of Agriculture with respect to food resources, food resource facilities, livestock resources, veterinary resources, plant health resources, and the domestic distribution of farm equipment and commercial fertilizer” and thereafter to:
The Secretary of Energy with respect to all forms of energy;
The Secretary of Health and Human Services with respect to health resources;
The Secretary of Transportation with respect to all forms of civil transportation;
The Secretary of Defense with respect to water resources; and
The Secretary of Commerce with respect to all other materials, services, and facilities, including construction materials.

The obvious question is why is this EO necessary in the absence of any threat of an invasion or even an attack?

Am I the only one wondering why the President of the United States, in the run-up to a national election, should feel that this is the time to issue such an EO? 

I know I would be considered a kooky conspiracy theorist if I dared to even mention the possibility that Obama would attempt to carry off a coup d’etat to establish himself as an American dictator.  However, consider this for a moment; Obama has surrounded himself with Cabinet Secretaries and a shadow government of “czars” that would likely support him if he were to attempt such an audacious move.

Such a move most likely would not happen until his second term after he has had the opportunity to appoint a couple more left wing extremists to the Supreme Court, but you never know. 

The “legality” of such a move would be rubber-stamped by the Attorney General whose regard for the Constitution and laws of the nation is dubious at best, treasonous at worst. The President’s views about the Constitution are well known and he resents the limits it puts on his powers.

Would Congress stand by and allow its powers to be usurped? Imagine yourself a Senator or Representative fearful of arrest and detention. Rounding up all 435 members would not be a difficult task.

The nation’s media, with exceptions, has “covered” for this President regarding the legitimacy of his right to hold office, his absurd energy policies, and his takeover of various segments of the nation’s economic base; the auto industry, the insurance industry, and ObamaCare attempt to takeover the healthcare sector.

That is why this EO has evoked such fear and concern and that is why Congress has to assert its Constitutional powers before this President is permitted to overthrow the legislative branch of government and seize control through an EO that is so broad that it is a breathtaking seizure of power that could only be considered if the nation was, in fact, under attack.

This EO is about “preparedness”, but for whom?
