US President Barack Obama quietly signed his name to an Executive Order on Friday, allowing the White House to control all private communications in the country in the name of national security.
President Obama released his latest Executive Order on Friday, July 6, a 2,205-word statement offered as the “Assignment of National Security and Emergency Preparedness Communications Functions.” And although the president chose not to commemorate the signing with much fanfare, the powers he provides to himself and the federal government under the latest order are among the most far-reaching yet of any of his executive decisions.
“The Federal Government must have the ability to communicate at all times and under all circumstances to carry out its most critical and time sensitive missions,” the president begins the order. “Survivable, resilient, enduring and effective communications, both domestic and international, are essential to enable the executive branch to communicate within itself and with: the legislative and judicial branches; State, local, territorial and tribal governments; private sector entities; and the public, allies and other nations.”
President Obama adds that it is necessary for the government to be able to reach anyone in the country during situations it considers critical, writing, “Such communications must be possible under all circumstances to ensure national security, effectively manage emergencies and improve national resilience.” Later the president explains that such could be done by establishing a “joint industry-Government center that is capable of assisting in the initiation, coordination, restoration and reconstitution of NS/EP [national security and emergency preparedness] communications services or facilities under all conditions of emerging threats, crisis or emergency.”
“The views of all levels of government, the private and nonprofit sectors, and the public must inform the development of NS/EP communications policies, programs and capabilities,” he adds.

He has absolutely no intention of actually using any of it.
Simple as that? He can do this without congressional approval?!
The Dictator of Sodom on the Potomac takes over by EO and ignores the Congress. Sadly the US Constitution no longer exists inside the Beltway of Sodom. The Dictator rules and the MSM covers it up and the military is becoming homo hell. America is done. It shall never rise again. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. America is rust.
The Federal Government must have the ability to communicate at all times and under all circumstances to carry out its most critical and time sensitive missions...
Well, heck. I guess I must be turning forgetful as well as elderly and creaky, because I don't recall seeing any such bull obama in the Constitution.
Ham radio will be critical
We knew when the TV had to be digital and totally controllable. If you don’t think that TV in your living room is “alive”, you’re kidding yourself. It’s a spy.
CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?!
I agree, DRT! I think we all should purchase one, and then I think we need to have a license to operate it - anyone know?
I like it. Let the marxists keep tightening the screws. With hundreds of millions of heavily armed and infuriated civilians, what could POSSIBLY go wrong?
Yorkie!
You mean he hadn’t done this move yet??!! I thought he had already, lol (okay, not funny, I know).
Perhaps, but it is regulated by the FCC.
Nutjob “we were right all along” conspiracy list?
This authority is from Communications Act of 1934 and is basically a continuation of EOs dating back to the 80s.
He doesn’t need congressional approval for anything. Once upon a time, presidents did...but in the new United States of Africa, Odinga/Mugabe/the African dictator of your choice reincarnated in Obama can do whatever he wants.
And he can also take $100 million dollar vacations whenever he and his retinue want, thank you.
This is nothing new. This EO has been around, in one form or another, since at least the early 80s. It’s standard.
Here is a little something from the “WTF-over!” files.....
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
