Analysis: Wide-sweeping Executive Order Cause for Alarm
In a wide-sweeping
Executive Order issued Friday, March 16, the man who
occupies the Oval Office under the guise of "Defense
Resource Preparedness" has ordered the nationalization
of all of America's natural resources, energy, private
industry, property, transportation, food resources,
health supplies, farm equipment, and technology--even
all potable water. The 34 page Executive Order spells
out how the president has delegated authority to various
agencies such as Homeland Security for the procurement
of goods and services "during peacetime, graduated
mobilization and national emergency." Additionally,
corporate executives can be conscripted without pay to
provide expertise to the government.
Authority for this action, according to the Executive
Order, is derived from the Truman-era Defense Production
Act of 1950 (DPA) which was passed by Congress to
provide defense readiness in case of an attack on the
nation or an emergency requiring defense mobilization.
The DPA placed America's civilian industry in a
war-ready posture. Congress parked the DPA in what is
called a "title 50's appendix" where only laws of a
temporary nature relating to national defense reside.
Congress renewed the DPA as late as 2007, but it appears
that this president may have reinstated titles that
lapsed in 1953 providing power to requisition and
condemn civilian property, stabilize wages and prices,
and settle labor disputes.
There is cause for great alarm in this Executive Order
because it is unnecessary except to establish how new
government agencies should coordinate defense
preparedness under the 1950 DPA. This president,
however, appears to have subtly expanded the depth of
powers where every aspect of life, liberty, property and
human sustenance are subservient to the federal
government. If exercised in an authoritative manner, it
appears that the White House could flip the switch from
a free society to totalitarianism, using the homeland
radicalization as a minimal justification. Every aspect
of the Constitutional Bill of Rights could be suspended
if this Executive Order is allowed to stand.
Given the White House-directed 2009 Homeland Security
assessment that conservative Christians are "right wing
extremists"; that there have been requests for proposals
on FEMA camp activations; that the Defense Authorization
Act opened the door for American citizens to be held
without due process; that the TSA is expanding its
authority to include highway check points; that the
government is conducting joint police-military door to
door training in neighborhoods; that the Administration
is supporting an internet "kill switch"; that this
Administration has ignored Congressional objections in
supporting Islamist takeovers of Middle Eastern nations;
no imagination is needed to see what could be on the
horizon.
So-called "experts" and "legal commentators" are trying
to downplay concerns, saying the Executive Order is no
different than that of Bill Clinton or George W Bush.
This should not alter opinions because if one is wrong,
they all are wrong. Americans are the first to do what
is right to defend this nation. Only organizational
planning is necessary to ensure that defense in an
orderly and efficient manner. Executive Orders such as
this are dictatorships in the making. Proverbs 29:2
says, "When the righteous are in authority, the people
rejoice: but when the wicked bear rule, the people
mourn." In America, we the people have the authority to
hold our government accountable. If we do not, it will
be a time of mourning.
