Question

When you research you find many things questionable and scary like this courtesy of the Freedom of Information Act -

SUBJECT: Executive Orders

APPLICABLE EXECUTIVE ORDERS

The following Executive Orders, now recorded in the Federal Register and therefore accepted by Congress as the law of the land , can be put into effect at any time an emergency is declared:

10995--All communications media seized by the Federal Government.

10997 - Seizure of all electrical power, fuels, including gasoline and minerals.

10998 -Seizure of all food resources, farms and farm equipment.

10999 -Seizure of all kinds of transportation, including your personal car, and control of all highways and seaports.

11004 - Housing and Finance authority may shift population from one locality to another. Complete integration.

11051 - The Director of the Office of Emergency Planning authorized to put Executive Orders into effect in "times of increased international tension or financial crisis". He is also to perform such additional functions as the President may direct.

Stated simply : the dictatorial power of the Executive rests primarily on three basis : Executive Order 11490 , Executive Order 11647 and the Planning , Programming , Budgeting System which is operated through the Office of Management and Budget .

E. O. 11490 is a compilation of some 23 previous Executive Orders , signed by Nixon on Oct. 28, 1969 and outlining emergency functions which are to be performed by some 28 Executive Departments and Agencies whenever the President of the United States declares a national emergency { as in defiance of an impeachment edict, for example } . Under the terms of E. O. 11490 , the President can declare that a national emergency exists and the Executive Branch can :

Take over all communications media

Seize all sources of power

Take charge of all food resources

Control all highways and seaports

Seize all railroads, inland waterways, airports, storage facilities

Commandeer all civilians to work under federal supervision

Control all activities relating to health, education, and welfare

Shift any segment of the population from one locality to another ,Take over farms, ranches, timberized properties

Regulate the amount of your own money you may withdraw from your bank or savings and loan institution

All of these and many more items are listed in 32 pages incorporating nearly 200,000 words providing an absolute bureaucratic dictatorship whenever the President gives the word.

Executive Order 11647 provides the regional and local mechanisms and manpower for carrying out the provisions of E. O. 11490 . Signed by Richard Nixon on Feb. 10, 1972, this Order sets up Ten Federal Regional Councils to govern Ten Federal Regions made up of the fifty still existing States of the Union .

Any comments ?

Answer 1

It is surprising the freedoms we loose for our own good. Most of the executive orders were given during war. There are many that happened with the patriot act, Homeland security. It is just a crime the powers we have given up. If you give up your weapons and the right to fight back all is lost.

Answer 2

It appears that George W. Bush and Hugo Chavez are becoming interchangeable despots.

They should just switch places twice a year so each one could have a nice working vacation in a fresh environment.

Since they are both up to the same tricks, I think their rivalry is just a well-orchestrated diversionary hoax.

George W. is just a little miffed that Hugo Chavez is getting ahead of him in this power-grabbing process.

Answer 3

Do you mean there are gray lines separating the Powers of Government? Yes! Only Congress (the Representatives and Senators) have the power to enact laws, yet the Liberal Supreme Court "enacts" laws, such as declaring abortions legal. (Read the Preamble to the Constitution!)
As to who holds the power, the answer is the Media. It got Bill Clinton elected President twice, even though his oponent had more votes. (Clinton was not the only one.)

Answer 4

Yes the prediction is putting the nails in the coffin of freedom. 1/3 of the country is resisting 1/3 are nailing and the other 1/3 are dunk or loaded. It is the last 1/3 that are digging the grave.

Answer 5

Damn, I am so freaking out! That is past scary...Oh my God! People, we are surely doomed! I thought I already knew the horror of this administration before I read that, and now it makes me realize I'd feel safer living in that hotel with the likes of Jack Torrance in The Shining! At least there, I could PERHAPS prolong my life by hiding out in one of those rooms! Instead, I am made to feel naked and out in the wide open, ready to be had! It's like for certain their scope is on us, and now we are running and dodging the bullets they can fire at will! Wow! I did not know the specifics of the Freedom of Information Act until I read that just now. I did hear of it, but had yet to read its specifics...it's BEYOND freaking wild! Thanks for posting that, Fateridder! Whoaaaaaa!
