By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (50 U.S.C. App. 2061 et seq.), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, and as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States, it is hereby ordered as follows:

PART I - PURPOSE, POLICY, AND IMPLEMENTATION

Section 101. Purpose. This order delegates authorities and addresses national defense resource policies and programs under the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (the "Act").

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.

This was already discussed.

The changes made were primarily to address changes in the structures of the government, e.g. DHS and FEMA under DHS, etc.

Similar changes were made to the order in almost every previous administration, including both Bush I and Bush II, after its initial release.

Nobody here at work will believe this. How can this illegal alien do this to our country? I thought we had a Congress to separate the powers. No comment from our Congress?

No comment or curiosity about the Homeland Defense (or whatever they call themselves) ordering enough bullets to shoot every one of us 8 times. No comment from our Congress? No curiosity? Are we nuts?

Is this fascist muslim pig going to take over our country when he loses in November? Will Americans die?

Where in the hell is any form of curiousity about this jackall’s behavior in these things?

Just part of the plan. If they lose the election to Newt, they will open up the ineligibility issue themselves, riots will take place, then invoke martial law, then President for some time, then exile to Kenya if things get bad.

There are a lot of conspiracy theories floating around about this.

One theory I read somewhere suggests this was designed to further Obama/ Progressive left's green energy agenda--to allow Obama to marshal resources when our country has gone past the so-called "tipping point."

That makes more sense to me than Obama wanting to install martial law to stay in office.

This was already in effect since 1994 from Clinton although the title of it had the word Industrial in it. There are a few changes but it is basically the same. Here is Clintons:

Actually, it goes all the way back to President Kennedy. So just to help those who aren't inclined to look this up at the National Archives (www.nara.gov), I'll give you the Cliff Notes:

President Kennedy

Executive Order 10997 (16 Feb 1962) Assigning emergency preparedness functions to the Secretary of the Interior
(Revoked by EO 11490)

Executive Order 10998 (16 Feb 1962) Assigning emergency preparedness functions to the Secretary of Agriculture
(Revoked by EO 11490)

Executive Order 10999 (16 Feb, 1962) Assigning emergency preparedness functions to the Secretary of Commerce
(Revoked by EO 11490)

Executive Order 11000 (16 Feb, 1962) Assigning emergency preparedness functions to the Secretary of Labor
(Revoked by EO 11490)

Executive Order 11001 (16 Feb 1962) Assigning emergency preparedness functions to the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare
(Revoked by EO 11490)

Executive Order 11002 (16 Feb 1962) Assigning emergency preparedness functions to the Postmaster General
(Revoked by EO 11490)

Executive Order 11003 (16 Feb 1962) Assigning emergency preparedness functions to the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Agency
(Revoked by EO 11490)

Executive Order 11004 (16 Feb 1962) Assigning certain emergency preparedness functions to the Housing and Home Finance Administrator
(Revoked by EO 11490)

Executive Order 11005 (16 Feb 1962) Assigning emergency preparedness functions to the Interstate Commerce Commission
(Revoked by EO 11490)

President Nixon

Executive Order 11490 (28 Oct, 1969)Assigning emergency preparedness functions to Federal departments and agencies
(Numerous EO amendments and Revoked by EO 12656)

President Regan

Executive Order 12656 (18 Nov 1988) Assignment of emergency preparedness responsibilities
(Amended by: EO 13074, 9 Feb 1998; EO 13228, 8 Oct 2001; EO 13286, 28 Feb 2003)

If you look in Part VIII, SEC 803, President Obama is amending EO 12656. And in case you're wondering, yes the leftist conspiracy mongers went nuts when Pres. Regan signed EO 12656 claiming they were all going to re-education camps. (Personally I wish they had.) All Executive Orders from President Franklin D. Roosevelt to current Executive Orders and their full text and respective dispositions can be found at www.nara.gov .

Don’t know if y’all went through the 16 Mar E O but I finally did.

Here is what jumped out at me...

There is a specific deletion and replacement of the prior EO procedure.

From March 16, 2012.

Sec. 803. Authority. (a) Executive Order 12919 of June 3, 1994, and sections 401(3) (4) of Executive Order 12656 of November 18, 1988, are revoked.

What was it?

A specific part of the Emergency Powers EO that has been handed down since 1957 allows the President to direct allocation of resources during times of national emergency that puts the Secretary of Defense at the top of the food chain for determining what is necessary for National Security.

Sections 401(3) (4) of Executive Order 12656, November 23, 1988

"(3) In cooperation with the Secretary of Defense and other Federal departments and agencies, analyze potential effects of national security emergencies on actual production capability, taking into account the entire production complex, including shortages of resources, and develop preparedness measures to strengthen capabilities for production increases in national security emergencies;

(4) In cooperation with the Secretary of Defense, perform industry analyses to assess capabilities of the commercial industrial base to support the national defense, and develop policy alternatives to improve the international competitiveness of specific domestic industries and their abilities to meet defense program needs;"

Ok, what did he put in its place?

PART IV - VOLUNTARY AGREEMENTS AND ADVISORY COMMITTEES (March 16, 2012.)

Sec. 401. Delegations. The authority of the President under sections 708(c) and (d) of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2158(c), (d), is delegated to the heads of agencies otherwise delegated authority under this order. The status of the use of such delegations shall be furnished to the Secretary of Homeland Security.

Sec. 402. Advisory Committees. The authority of the President under section 708(d) of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2158(d), and delegated in section 401 of this order (relating to establishment of advisory committees) shall be exercised only after consultation with, and in accordance with, guidelines and procedures established by the Administrator of General Services.

Sec. 403. Regulations. The Secretary of Homeland Security, after approval of the Attorney General, and after consultation by the Attorney General with the Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, shall promulgate rules pursuant to section 708(e) of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2158(e), incorporating standards and procedures by which voluntary agreements and plans of action may be developed and carried out. Such rules may be adopted by other agencies to fulfill the rulemaking requirement of section 708(e) of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2158(e).

Basically, he has shut out Sec. Def. (the military) from having any input into what is done under the National Emergency EO.

One more time...





Before...

“ Whereas our national security is dependent upon our ability to assure continuity of government, at every level, in any national security emergency situation that might confront the Nation; and

“ Whereas effective national preparedness planning to meet such an emergency, including a massive nuclear attack, is essential to our national survival; and

“ Whereas effective national preparedness planning requires the identification of functions that would have to be performed during such an emergency, the assignment of responsibility for developing plans for performing these functions, and the assignment of responsibility for developing the capability to implement those plans; and

“ Whereas the Congress has directed the development of such national security emergency preparedness plans and has provided funds for the accomplishment thereof;

“ Now, therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America, and pursuant to Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1958 (72 Stat. 1799), the National Security Act of 1947, as amended, the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended, and the Federal Civil Defense Act, as amended, it is hereby ordered that the responsibilities of the Federal departments and agencies in national security emergencies shall be as follows:"



After...



Section 101. Purpose. This order delegates authorities and addresses national defense resource policies and programs under the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (the "Act"). 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.

"in peacetime and in times of national emergency"


Grabbing power that has been reserved for emergency use only and turning it into “Whaz da Fedz sadz” anytime, any place, “no reason need be given” authoro-tie is in itself a giant FLUKE YOU to every real American Citizen.

Most everyone I speak with understands what he did with the “in peacetime and in times of national emergency” crap.

They get that part.

What they are not seeing is that he has gone waaaaay beyond most folks understanding of this EO as being a full time power grab.

He has locked out the military and put his civilian freak show crew of communists, homos and "progressive liberals" in the top slot for all "advisements."

Basically he has just EO’ed his “civilian national security force” into existence.

Remember that? How did that go?

"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set," he said Wednesday. "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

And the troops? The obedient masses?

In the same PUBLIC statement he said he would make federal assistance conditional on school districts establishing service programs and set the goal of 50 hours of mandatory service a year for middle school and high school students.

>>> Middle school! <<<
IF he goes into a second term how old would such a group of middle school and high school students be at the end of that term?

Yeah. You got it.

He can now have absolute authority over every last action, exchange, movement, speech, transaction, person, resource, activity, protest and prosecution of all Americans.

100% of the time, no matter the circumstance.

Additionally any common activity from paying for things in cash to having a currently running Presidential candidate bumper sticker on your car to taking professional art photographs of a flukeing TRAIN will get you on a DHS list as a suspect “terrorist.”

The “photo of mass destruction...”

http://www.pixiq.com/article/illinois-deputy-threatens-to-add-man-to-terrorist-watch-list

He has everything in place.

Fed LEO’s are just this side of completely brainwashed.

He has a base of government entitlement dependant voter drones.

90% of the MSM as his personal propaganda machine.

If you protest him or “cause a disturbance” in an area controlled by the SS, under HR 347 / Senate Bill 1794, Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act of 2011 (passed and signed) you are a felon. Whether you even knew they were there at the time or not.

And now he has made a huge move with this subtle monstrosity of an Executive Order.

I would anyone say the odds are of a little bammy “October Surprise?”

And what if it appears that he will be denied a second term via poll numbers in mid-October?

What will his communist, narcissistic personality disorder delusion of reality do with that ultimate authority?.

So, let’s review one more time and tell me he isn’t falling further into this very pattern...

By Mayo Clinic staff.
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/narcissistic-personality-disorder/DS00652/DSECTION=symptoms

Narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by dramatic, emotional behavior, which is in the same category as antisocial and borderline personality disorders.

Narcissistic personality disorder symptoms may include:
Believing that you're better than others
Fantasizing about power, success and attractiveness
Exaggerating your achievements or talents
Expecting constant praise and admiration
Believing that you're special and acting accordingly
Failing to recognize other people's emotions and feelings
Expecting others to go along with your ideas and plans
Taking advantage of others
Expressing disdain for those you feel are inferior
Being jealous of others
Believing that others are jealous of you
Trouble keeping healthy relationships
Setting unrealistic goals
Being easily hurt and rejected
Having a fragile self-esteem
Appearing as tough-minded or unemotional

Although some features of narcissistic personality disorder may seem like having confidence or strong self-esteem, it's not the same. Narcissistic personality disorder crosses the border of healthy confidence and self-esteem into thinking so highly of yourself that you put yourself on a pedestal. In contrast, people who have healthy confidence and self-esteem don't value themselves more than they value others.

When you have narcissistic personality disorder, you may come across as conceited, boastful or pretentious. You often monopolize conversations. You may belittle or look down on people you perceive as inferior. You may have a sense of entitlement. And when you don't receive the special treatment to which you feel entitled, you may become very impatient or angry. You may insist on having "the best" of everything — the best car, athletic club, medical care or social circles, for instance.

But underneath all this behavior often lies a fragile self-esteem. You have trouble handling anything that may be perceived as criticism. You may have a sense of secret shame and humiliation. And in order to make yourself feel better, you may react with rage or contempt and efforts to belittle the other person to make yourself appear better.

Thanks for the info. I will go have a look at the site.

Happy to help and pass on information about a great research site. And if you want a good giggle do an internet search for Executive Order 11000, then look at the comments on the conspiracy websites and compare them with what has been posted here over the last week on this current Executive Order. Deja Vu all over again.
