(Reuters) - The White House is preparing to direct federal agencies to develop voluntary cybersecurity guidelines for owners of power, water and other critical infrastructure facilities, according to people who said they had seen recent drafts of an executive order.

The prospective order would give the agencies 90 days to propose new regulations and create a new cybersecurity council at the Department of Homeland Security with representatives from the Defense Department, Justice Department, Director of National Intelligence and the Department of Commerce, a former government cyber-security official told Reuters.

"It tells those who have the ability to regulate to go forth and do so," said the person, who is currently outside the government and spoke on condition of anonymity in order to preserve access to government officials.

The draft executive order includes elements of what had been the leading cybersecurity overhaul bill in the Senate, which was defeated this summer amid opposition from industries opposed to increased regulation.

Original Marxist Dictate: “From each according to his ABILITY, to each according to his NEED.”

Obama Dictate: “ - - - those who have the ABILITY to regulate to go forth and do so - - - “

Basic intent of all dictates: regulate - - - Control - - - DESTROY!

Another EO to go with Obama's Enabling Act Executive Order(s) to take over the complete infrastructure of the United States.

Hitler had his state of emergency act, which he renewed by decree to "legally stay in power" as a dictator. All Obama needs is a Reichstag fire to go along with his fantasy.

Obama is shades of Hitler.
