That’s not an EO. It’s legislation. It’s completing Obama’s dictatorship - if we let him.

Here’s one post from over at that garbage dump filled with cheeto eaters and degenerate losers.

“Democrats and Independents rejoice.
Obama is doing the one thing that will get us out from under right wing boot.
He is doing what we all want him to do, and all we said he did not do in one fell sweep.
This Executive Order changes everything.

Read the whole thing 10 times it’s going to be talked about more than any other EO in history.

I’m reading it and so far it seems to be exactly what is, we are becoming a new form of government.

Obama is now going to systematically engineer the recovery, and eliminate all the Republican obstructionism by using the powers of the executive branch to defeat the abuses we have seen from the legislative, and judicial.

This is a big deal and the reaction is going to be epic.

I’m still reading but I implore people to read it and read all of it until we understand it fully.

Then judge.

Boot? Is projection the new 'in' neurosis of the left?

The very first people who will ‘silenced’ will be the people who have been instrumental in putting him in power...the Press.

In the old days, you would have been right... now? Doubt it.

I have wondered what happens if you are drafted or "compelled to work" but refuse. OK, you are picked up, taken to the rock camp and told to break rocks. You refuse.

Other cultures have done these kinds of things - it's predictable... work camps - re-education centers - torture - death... Funny how these types come up with the same 'answers'...

and this:

“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.”

Obama: SEC 201(b) The Secretary of each agency delegated authority under subsection (a) of this section (resource departments) shall plan for and issue regulations to prioritize and allocate resources and establish standards and procedures by which the authority shall be used to promote the national defense, under both emergency and non-emergency conditions. Each Secretary shall authorize the heads of other agencies, as appropriate, to place priority ratings on contracts and orders for materials, services, and facilities needed in support of programs approved under section 202 of this order.

Clinton: SEC 201 (b) The Secretary of Commerce, in consultation with the heads of those departments and agencies specified in subsection 201(a) of this order, shall administer the Defense Priorities and Allocations System ("DPAS") regulations that will be used to implement the authority of the President conferred by section 101 of the Act as delegated to the Secretary of Commerce in subsection 201(a)(6) of this order. The Secretary of Commerce will redelegate to the Secretary of Defense, and the heads of other departments and agencies as appropriate, authority for the priority rating of contracts and orders for all materials, services, and facilities needed in support of programs approved under section 202 of this order. The Secretary of Commerce shall act as appropriate upon Special Priorities Assistance requests in a time frame consistent with the urgency of the need at hand.

Emergency and non-emergency. What happened to the DPAS Regulations used to implement authority?

Sec. 801. Definitions. In addition to the definitions in section 702 of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2152, the following definitions apply throughout this order:

(j) “National defense” means programs for military and energy production or construction, military or critical infrastructure assistance to any foreign nation, homeland security, stockpiling, space, and any directly related activity. Such term includes emergency preparedness activities conducted pursuant to title VI of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5195 et seq., and critical infrastructure protection and restoration.

This is a new definition. And it appears that the whole section for the Defense Industrial Base Information System has been removed and replaced? Executive Order Clinton 12919 SEC. 802.

The new order does not indicate or footnote any deletions or additions.

If you take this Exectutive Order seriously, and you shuold, and lay it alongside the power of the Patriot Act, you have the makings of a totalitarian dictatorship. The awesome power herein vested with the cabinet secretaries is beyond frightening.

If the federal government can seize control, as is provided in this order, of food, energy, health care, transportation and construction resources literally at will and without the right of redress by citizens, the POTUS and his cabinet now will hold the power of life and death.

This executive order only sets up a platform for use of the Patriot Act to identify citizen threats to dictatorial control once declared. Think about the last 3+ years. Does anyone really trust Ojackass not to abuse the powers this EO grants him?

The fact that Americans would even consider that our president would somehow stage a coup to stay in power is downright frightening. No one worried that Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter would do such a thing.

Clinton's departure triggered some worry about theft of articles or vandalism and this will no doubt occur if 0bama goes..

Obama: Sec. 102. Policy. The United States must have an industrial and technological base capable of meeting national defense requirements and capable of contributing to the technological superiority of its national defense equipment in peacetime and in times of national emergency. The domestic industrial and technological base is the foundation for national defense preparedness. The authorities provided in the Act shall be used to strengthen this base and to ensure it is capable of responding to the national defense needs of the United States.

Clinton: Sec. 102. Policy. The United States must have an industrial and technology base capable of meeting national defense requirements, and capable of contributing to the technological superiority of its defense equipment in peacetime and in times of national emergency. The domestic industrial and technological base is the foundation for national defense preparedness. The authorities provided in the Act shall be used to strengthen this base and to ensure it is capable of responding to all threats to the national security of the United States.

How does changing ONE word alter this EO? Clinton said “threats,” Obama is saying “needs.” If they are synonymous, why change them at all?

Just curious, but how long to the Executive Orders last? I mean, if Clinton already did one, and it says pretty much the same thing, why would Obama need to?

How can this EO possibly be constitutional even in a national emergency? The powers it confers would make our Constitutional Rights meaningless and Obama, no different than Hugo Chavez, can trump up any national emergency he wishes. It is stuff like this that gives me nightmares should Obama be re-elected. With this kind of power he could be dictator for life on a whim.
