EXECUTIVE ORDERS
|
||
|
||
Let's eyeball the executive branch of the national
|
||
government. This will be a beauty! Caesar is alive and
|
||
well in Washington, D.C. You better believe it.
|
||
Earlier mention was made of executive orders. Our
|
||
research shows the first use of these orders was by
|
||
President George Washington for household expenses. It was
|
||
an order signed by him for normal expenses which would be
|
||
accepted by the Treasury Department and paid. Simple
|
||
enough.
|
||
The Federal Bureau of Investigation was formed under
|
||
an executive order by Teddy Roosevelt on July 26, 1908.
|
||
The first time it was used to make a law was in 1916
|
||
by President Woodrow Wilson. It was said to be an
|
||
'emergency' measure and Congress was encouraged to validate
|
||
it. They did.
|
||
The door was now open to ignore the Constitution.
|
||
This is the same method used by Franklin Roosevelt in
|
||
1933 to close all the banks in the country. Remember our
|
||
gold? Americans were ordered to turn in all their gold to
|
||
local banks. AFTER this was done, King Roosevelt, by exec-
|
||
utive order, raised the value of an ounce of gold from
|
||
$20.00 to $35.00! Guess who that benefitted? International
|
||
bankers and central banks around the world . . that's who.
|
||
Americans who turned in their gold were royally screwed.
|
||
What are the duties of the executive branch? To make
|
||
laws or to see that they are faithfully executed?
|
||
Nothing in our Constitution allows the president to
|
||
pass a law or make a law under any circumstances. Nor is
|
||
there any suggestion that the Congress can delegate their
|
||
lawmaking authority to the executive branch, emergency or no
|
||
emergency!
|
||
Yet they have done it and they continue to do it
|
||
without any permission in the Constitution or any amendment.
|
||
How do they ignore their oath to uphold and support the
|
||
Constitution? Why not ask them?
|
||
Let's explore their law making activities . . . govern-
|
||
ment uses a publication called the Federal Register where
|
||
all regulations are published daily. (Regulations? Where
|
||
the hell did that come from?) This publication amounts to
|
||
more than 70,000 pages a year. Here is where the executive
|
||
orders are published.
|
||
When they appear, they remain in limbo for 30 days and
|
||
the Congress or any citizen can write and object to it.
|
||
70,000 pages a year would take a full-time staff member of
|
||
each member of the Congress to watch and study these
|
||
'regulations'. Congress pays no attention to the Federal
|
||
Register.
|
||
At the end of the required thirty days, all these
|
||
regulations become 'law' and have the full effect of law!
|
||
There are occasions where these are challenged in courts
|
||
when they have affected some individual and a few have been
|
||
|
||
overturned. See how simple they have made it? Write it,
|
||
put it in a federal publication and if no one says anything
|
||
about it, it mysteriously becomes law.
|
||
All sorts of regulations from every division of the
|
||
executive branch are published in the Federal Register and
|
||
this is where all the goodies are listed. If you doubt the
|
||
'laws' in the Federal Register have teeth, write the Govern-
|
||
ment Printing Office and request a copy.
|
||
What happened to the concept that only the Congress can
|
||
make a law? Did you say it was OK or was there an amendment
|
||
passed by the people allowing this to go on?
|
||
Now let's look at some of the real dirty work they have
|
||
done with executive orders. . There are over 12,000 laws of
|
||
this type on the books now. Congress, when asked, does not
|
||
even know what they are. This is our lawmaking body. Part
|
||
of the government that is supposed to "establish justice,
|
||
insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence,
|
||
promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of lib-
|
||
erty" . . . snicker, snicker . . .
|
||
This one is really scary . . . A blueprint for a dicta-
|
||
torship!
|
||
Executive Order No. 11921 was published in the Federal
|
||
Register in June 1976 and updated since. This is the mas-
|
||
ter plan for tyranny and the death of our Constitution.
|
||
All the President has to do is declare a national
|
||
emergency and big brother will or can take over every form
|
||
of newspaper, radio and television stations. They will
|
||
confiscate your CB's, weapons, tell you where to live, work,
|
||
how much food you can have, establish rationing and
|
||
price controls. In effect, they can declare martial law and
|
||
you will not be able to do anything about it. Neither can
|
||
the Congress.
|
||
Can you imagine a law like this on the books in this
|
||
country?
|
||
All they are waiting for is a certain set of
|
||
circumstances and someone who wants to be a dictator and
|
||
away we go.
|
||
If you haven't heard or read about Executive Orders,
|
||
this one especially, let me break the bad news. It's on the
|
||
books.
|
||
Most bureaucrats and their egghead lackeys, when asked
|
||
about this executive order, will say it only concerns the
|
||
orderly control of the country if we have a nuclear attack.
|
||
This is a cockeyed lie!
|
||
The opening words of Executive Order 11921 are blunt:
|
||
"WHEREAS our national security is dependent upon our ability
|
||
to assure continuity of government, at every level, in any
|
||
national emergency type situation that might conceivably
|
||
confront the nation; and WHEREAS effective national
|
||
preparedness planning to meet such an emergency, including a
|
||
massive nuclear attack. . ."
|
||
Look closely at the words they are using, "any national
|
||
emergency . . . including massive nuclear . . . " is
|
||
clear.
|
||
They can decide what the emergency is and it does NOT
|
||
have to be nuclear attack.
|
||
Congressional investigators began to look into this
|
||
subject and found 470 special statutes which can be invoked
|
||
by the President in a declared national emergency. Where
|
||
the hell did they find the power for him to be able to
|
||
declare a national emergency?
|
||
Senator Mathias testified before a House Judiciary
|
||
committee in 1975:
|
||
"Under the authority delegated by these statutes, the
|
||
President may seize property; organize and control the means
|
||
of production; seize commodities; assign military forces
|
||
abroad; institute martial law; seize and control all trans-
|
||
portation and communication; regulate the operation of
|
||
private enterprise; restrict travel; and in a plethora of
|
||
particular ways, control the lives of all American
|
||
citizens."
|
||
This is only the frosting . . . Wait until we look at
|
||
the real powers they will have when they decide which day
|
||
will be 'X-Day'.
|
||
How can this be? From this 1975 testimony, Congress is
|
||
aware of what can be done yet they do nothing to control
|
||
this power. Are they all part of this 'mutual admiration
|
||
society' in the cesspool known as Washington DC? Most will
|
||
probably tell you "I don't know this, so it must be false."
|
||
Where did we go wrong? How did they assume this power in
|
||
absolute violation of the Constitution and all the oaths
|
||
they have taken before they took office?
|
||
|
||
What was it the President swore? "That I will faith-
|
||
fully execute the office of the President of the United
|
||
States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve,
|
||
protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
|
||
|
||
Is this preserving, protecting and defending the
|
||
Constitution? Is their oath just a bunch of words to be
|
||
recited when they take office? If he were going to do what
|
||
his oath requires, why hasn't a president told Congress to
|
||
pass a law abolishing executive orders?
|
||
Why hasn't the Congress simply taken the lawmaking
|
||
ability away from the president? Why hasn't Congress
|
||
assumed their duties as required by the Constitution?
|
||
Looks like we have allowed things to get away from us in
|
||
the last few years, doesn't it? What do our kids have to
|
||
look forward to if we don't stop this horse dung now?
|
||
Let's take a look at some of the powers they will
|
||
assume if there is "any national emergency, including
|
||
nuclear attack":
|
||
Part 9-Department of Commerce
|
||
Section 901. Resume of Responsibilities. The Secretary
|
||
of Commerce shall prepare national emergency plans and
|
||
develop preparedness programs covering:
|
||
(1) The production and distribution of all materials, the
|
||
use of all production facilities (except those owned by,
|
||
|
||
controlled by, or under the jurisdiction of the Department
|
||
of Defense or the Atomic Energy Commission), the control of
|
||
all construction materials, and the furnishing of basic in-
|
||
dustrial services except those otherwise assigned, in-
|
||
cluding:
|
||
(a) Production and distribution of and use of facilities
|
||
for petroleum, solid fuels, gas, electric power and water;
|
||
(b) Production, processing, distribution, and storage of
|
||
food resources and the use of food resource facilities for
|
||
such production, processing, distribution and storage;
|
||
(c) Domestic distribution of farm equipment and fer-
|
||
tilizer;
|
||
(d) Use of communications services and facilities,
|
||
housing and lodging facilities, and health, education, and
|
||
welfare facilities;
|
||
(e) Production, and related distribution, of minerals as
|
||
defined in Subsection 702(5), and source materials as
|
||
defined in the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended; and
|
||
the construction and use of facilities designated as
|
||
within the responsibilities of the Secretary of the
|
||
Interior;
|
||
(f) Distribution of items in the supply systems of, or
|
||
controlled by, the Department of Defense and the Atomic
|
||
Energy Commission;
|
||
(g) Construction, use, and management of civil aviation
|
||
facilities; and
|
||
(h) Construction, use and management of highways,
|
||
streets, and appurtenant structures; and
|
||
(i) Domestic distribution of health resources.
|
||
|
||
Scary? Unbelievable? You bet it is. And this is on
|
||
the books right now just waiting for the moment to declare
|
||
any type of national emergency.
|
||
Do you believe for a moment that we will still be using
|
||
our computers with the freedom we enjoy today? Chuckle . .
|
||
Let's just suppose there were several major bank
|
||
failures and powers that be decided that they couldn't
|
||
afford any more failures. A national emergency was called.
|
||
Under part 17 of the same executive order, they will
|
||
take over the complete supervision of all banks and banking
|
||
operations . . . To the point that they will decide if you
|
||
can take any money out of your account. They will demand to
|
||
know what you will spend it for and decide how much you can
|
||
have. However, if they do not have enough funds to give
|
||
the full amount, they can ration the funds. If they
|
||
figure you want your money to hoard it, they can simply
|
||
refuse to give it to you. Cute?
|
||
This includes all banking facilities, so don't feel
|
||
safe just because your money is in a credit union. They
|
||
have everything covered! Each check they honor for over
|
||
$1000 will have to have both sides photographed and of
|
||
course, none of these regulations will apply to any
|
||
transactions between banks. Just who does this money belong
|
||
to?
|
||
Is it still the United States? Makes you wonder . . .
|
||
For those who dabble in the stock market, under part
|
||
25 they will assume the power to close the market, suspend
|
||
any redemption rights, freeze prices of stocks and bonds.
|
||
Then they will allow it to reopen only when they decide
|
||
conditions permit and under their complete control.
|
||
Remember when Roosevelt changed the value of an ounce of
|
||
gold from $20 to $35? Who benefitted then? Not us.
|
||
And for you readers who own property and believe that
|
||
property belongs to you, we have a little surprise. Not if
|
||
this executive order becomes effective. You will own
|
||
nothing then. Here's what Part 22 of the Executive Order
|
||
has to say about that:
|
||
(9) National industrial reserve and machine tool program.
|
||
Develop plans for the custody of the Industrial plants and
|
||
production equipment in the national industrial reserve and
|
||
assist the Department of Defense, in collaboration with the
|
||
Department of Commerce, in the development of plans and
|
||
procedures for the disposition, emergency reactivation, and
|
||
utilization of the plants and equipment of this reserve in
|
||
the custody of the Administrator.
|
||
(10) Excess and surplus real and personal property.
|
||
Develop plans and emergency operating procedures for the
|
||
utilization of excess and surplus real and personal property
|
||
by Federal Government agencies with emergency assignments or
|
||
by State and local governmental units as directed, including
|
||
review of the property holdings of Federal agencies which do
|
||
not possess emergency functions to determine the avail-
|
||
ability of property for emergency use, and including the
|
||
disposal of real and personal property and the rehabilita-
|
||
tion of personal property.
|
||
What do they mean by excess property? Will they tell
|
||
you what of your property is excess? Are these decisions
|
||
meant to punish people who had the foresight to put away
|
||
coins or food for bad times? If you have been wise enough
|
||
to sock these items away, please don't tell anyone.
|
||
And what is 'rehabilitation of personal property?' If
|
||
someone doesn't like the way you use your property, will
|
||
they take it from you and give it to someone else?
|
||
Rehabilitation is 'restoring to good operation or good
|
||
management'.
|
||
Are these powers we granted to the central government
|
||
under the Constitution? Where do they get the idea that
|
||
they can issue Executive Orders and decide a certain day
|
||
that the Constitution is dead?
|
||
Did you notice that the Department of Commerce will
|
||
take over all housing and lodging facilities, does that mean
|
||
your home also? Maybe it also needs rehabilitation?
|
||
They will assume control of all health, education and
|
||
welfare facilities. You'd better believe it will include
|
||
all schools, public and private, elementary and secondary.
|
||
There will be no arguments about school prayer or momentary
|
||
silence anymore. The decision will be made for us.
|
||
The implications are staggering. This is a blueprint
|
||
|
||
for a dictatorship and slavery. No, I haven't been smoking
|
||
loco weed . . . this is for real.
|
||
Plans are all set "to assist civilian educational
|
||
institutions, both public and private, to adjust to demands
|
||
laid on them by a large expansion of government activities
|
||
during any type of emergency. This includes advice and
|
||
assistance to schools, colleges, universities, and other
|
||
educational institutions whose facilities may be temporarily
|
||
needed for Federal, State, or local programs in an emer-
|
||
gency."
|
||
Wonder what they mean by "adjust to demands laid upon
|
||
them by a large expansion of government activities?" Again
|
||
notice the special words: "during any type of emergency."
|
||
They didn't even mention major nuclear attack.
|
||
Since "large expansion of government activities" is not
|
||
defined, do they have any limitation? All this is in store
|
||
for American citizens.
|
||
They have established what they call the 'Federal
|
||
Preparedness Agency' under the General Services Administra-
|
||
tion which has the responsibility to see that this program
|
||
is carried out. We should keep our eye on the GSA.
|
||
Better yet, get after Congress to get this law making
|
||
ability taken away from the executive branch of government.
|
||
This program of executive orders is the most dangerous
|
||
weapon in the hands of government designed to make us all
|
||
slaves. If "X" day is called, America will be no more and
|
||
we will be powerless to do anything about it. Our action
|
||
has to be NOW. Waiting one day too long will be one day too
|
||
late.
|
||
Many will not believe this could happen in our country.
|
||
Write Congress and raise questions about this. Ask how
|
||
they delegated their law making powers to the executive
|
||
branch.
|
||
Ask where they found this authority. Ask your
|
||
Congressman for a copy of this particular executive order.
|
||
Imagine 12,000 laws of this type on the books at the
|
||
present . . . All without any authority from us. And of
|
||
course, no need to tell the American people about these,
|
||
they wouldn't understand them anyway.
|
||
Is this part of the glory of the position in govern-
|
||
ment? Congress has delegated emergency powers to the
|
||
president . . . Congress has no power or right to delegate
|
||
any of their powers. No where in our Constitution does it
|
||
say anything about giving 'emergency powers to the presi-
|
||
dent'.
|
||
The argument goes that in today's world, time could be
|
||
important and the president has to be able to act quickly.
|
||
It may be true, however, it cannot be in this country with-
|
||
out a grant for that authority from the people.
|
||
No where does the right appear to do any thing in case
|
||
of a mistake or an emergency. The procedures are well
|
||
defined and it is our duty to see that they are observed.
|
||
There is no other way in America!
|
||
If they feel granting emergency powers is so
|
||
|
||
important, propose an amendment to the Constitution and see
|
||
if we will agree to the importance. Of course the amemd-
|
||
ment procedure is slow and cumbersome. It was meant to be
|
||
that way. We have ordained and established the authority
|
||
for our government and only we can agree to changes.
|
||
Just because a practice has been used for a long period
|
||
does not make it right. If the practice was unconstitu-
|
||
tional when it began, it is still unconstitutional.
|
||
George Washington wrote in his Farewell Address: "The
|
||
basis of our political systems is the right of the people to
|
||
make and alter their constitutions of government. But the
|
||
constitution which at the time exists till changed by an
|
||
explicit and authentic act of the whole people is sacredly
|
||
obligatory upon all."
|
||
He plainly recognized the basis for our government.
|
||
When did this change occur? It has been said that tyranny
|
||
comes on slowly. Before anyone realizes it, it's present.
|
||
Is that what we have today?
|
||
Is this the vehicle to make our sovereignty disappear
|
||
and for the USA to become a full fledged member of the
|
||
United Nations under Bush's New World Order?
