“In a nutshell, it’s the blueprint for Peacetime
Martial Law and it gives the president the power to take just about anything
deemed necessary for “National Defense”, whatever they decide
that is.” (The Intel
Hub)
While millions of
people have been preparing for the possibility of a catastrophic event by
relocating to rural homesteads or farms, as well as stockpiling food, water,
personal defense armaments and other essential supplies with the intention of
utilizing these preparations if the worst happens, the latest executive order
signed by President Obama on March 16, 2012 makes clear that in the event of
a nationally deemed emergency all of these resources will fall under
the authority of the United States government.
The signing of the National
Defense Resources Preparedness executive order grants the Department of Homeland Security, the
Department of Agriculture, the Department of Labor, the Department of Defense
and other agencies complete control of all US resources, including the
ability to seize, confiscate or re-delegate resources, materials, services,
and facilities as deemed necessary or appropriate to promote the national
defense as delegated by the following agencies:
Sec. 201. Priorities and Allocations Authorities. (a)
(1) the Secretary of Agriculture with respect to
food resources, food resource facilities, livestock resources, veterinary
resources, plant health resources, and the domestic distribution of farm equipment
and commercial fertilizer;
(2) the Secretary of Energy with respect to all
forms of energy;
(3) the Secretary of Health and Human Services with
respect to health resources;
(4) the Secretary of Transportation with respect to
all forms of civil transportation;
(5) the Secretary of Defense with respect to water
resources; and
(6) the Secretary of
Commerce with respect to all other materials, services, and facilities,
including construction materials.
(b) The Secretary of each agency delegated authority
under subsection (a) of this section (resource departments) shall plan for
and issue regulations to prioritize and allocate resources and establish
standards and procedures by which the authority shall be used to promote the
national defense, under both emergency and non-emergency conditions.
The new order provides specific definitions for each
of these essential infrastructure elements, indicating that all
resources, not just those owned by large farms and businesses, are to be
directly controlled by the government. Thus, if you think the investments you
made in digging a water well, building a solar array, or stockpiling food
were for your own personal use, think again:
Excerpt:
Sec. 801. Definitions. In addition to the definitions in
section 702 of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2152, the following definitions apply
throughout this order:
(b) “Energy” means all forms of
energy including petroleum, gas (both natural and manufactured), electricity,
solid fuels (including all forms of coal, coke, coal chemicals, coal
liquification, and coal gasification), solar, wind, other types of renewable
energy, atomic energy, and the production, conservation, use, control, and
distribution (including pipelines) of all of these forms of energy.
(c) “Farm equipment” means
equipment, machinery, and repair parts manufactured for use on farms in
connection with the production or preparation for market use of food
resources.
(e) “Food resources” means all
commodities and products, (simple, mixed, or compound), or complements to
such commodities or products, that are capable of being ingested by either
human beings or animals, irrespective of other uses to which such commodities
or products may be put, at all stages of processing from the raw commodity to
the products thereof in vendible form for human or animal consumption.
“Food resources” also means potable water packaged in
commercially marketable containers, all starches, sugars, vegetable and
animal or marine fats and oils, seed, cotton, hemp, and flax fiber, but does
not mean any such material after it loses its identity as an agricultural
commodity or agricultural product.
(f) “Food resource facilities”
means plants, machinery, vehicles (including on farm), and other facilities
required for the production, processing, distribution, and storage (including
cold storage) of food resources, and for the domestic distribution of farm
equipment and fertilizer (excluding transportation thereof).
(i) “Health
resources” means drugs, biological products, medical devices,
materials, facilities, health supplies, services and equipment required to
diagnose, mitigate or prevent the impairment of, improve, treat, cure, or
restore the physical or mental health conditions of the population.
(j) “National defense” means
programs for military and energy production or construction, military or
critical infrastructure assistance to any foreign nation, homeland security,
stockpiling, space, and any directly related activity. Such term includes
emergency preparedness activities conducted pursuant to title VI of the
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C.
5195 et seq., and critical infrastructure protection and restoration.
(n) “Water resources” means all
usable water, from all sources, within the jurisdiction of the
United States, that can be managed, controlled, and allocated to meet
emergency requirements, except “water resources” does not include
usable water that qualifies as “food resources.”
Additionally, like the Selective Service
established to draft Americans into the military in the event of war, all
Americans are automatically registered for the National Defense Executive
Reserve, an agency responsible for identifying experts and skilled
laborers for jobs that may need to be performed during a national security.
That means your entire work history is now stored, aggregated and flagged in
a national database and you can be called on at any time and forced into
service for national security reasons at a government-run institution or
labor camp:
Sec. 501. National Defense Executive Reserve. (a) In
accordance with section 710(e) of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2160(e), there is
established in the executive branch a National Defense Executive Reserve
(NDER) composed of persons of recognized expertise from various segments of
the private sector and from Government (except full time Federal employees)
for training for employment in executive positions in the Federal Government
in the event of a national defense emergency.
…
(d) The head of each agency with an NDER unit may
exercise the authority under section 703 of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2153,
to employ civilian personnel when activating all or a part of its NDER unit.
The exercise of this authority shall be subject to the provisions of sections
501(e) and (f) of this order and shall not be redelegated.
…
Sec. 601. Secretary of Labor. (a) The Secretary of Labor,
in coordination with the Secretary of Defense and the heads of other
agencies, as deemed appropriate by the Secretary of Labor, shall:
(1) collect and maintain data necessary to make a
continuing appraisal of the Nation’s workforce needs for purposes of
national defense;
(2) upon request by the Director of Selective
Service, and in coordination with the Secretary of Defense, assist the
Director of Selective Service in development of policies regulating the
induction and deferment of persons for duty in the armed services;
(3) upon request from the head of an agency with
authority under this order, consult with that agency with respect to: (i)
the effect of contemplated actions on labor demand and utilization; (ii) the
relation of labor demand to materials and facilities requirements; and (iii)
such other matters as will assist in making the exercise of priority and
allocations functions consistent with effective utilization and distribution
of labor;
The EO also outlines compensation for resources and
labor that may be seized by the government. Payments would be made debt
receipts and overseen by the Treasury Department in conjunction with the
Federal Reserve. Similar to compulsory eminent domain provisions, a
government official would determine what your land, resources or labor are
worth, and you would have no choice but to agree to that value:
Sec. 301. Loan Guarantees. (a) To reduce current or
projected shortfalls of resources, critical technology items, or materials
essential for the national defense, the head of each agency engaged in
procurement for the national defense, as defined in section 801(h) of this
order, is authorized pursuant to section 301 of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2091,
to guarantee loans by private institutions.
(b) Each guaranteeing agency is designated and
authorized to: (1) act as fiscal agent in the making of its own guarantee
contracts and in otherwise carrying out the purposes of section 301 of the
Act; and (2) contract with any Federal Reserve Bank to assist the agency in
serving as fiscal agent.
As of March 16, 2012, your land, your food, your
water and your abilities as a laborer are now a wholly owned subsidiary of
the United States government at any time they choose to initiate the
provisions of this order, which according to the order itself, can be during
an emergency or a non-emergency.
While some reports indicate that the general
impact of this new executive order is negligible, when considered with the broader implications including
the introduction and passage of laws allowing for the indefinite detention of
American citizens without charge or trial, restricting
the general assembly of individuals to protest, the establishment of an internet
‘kill switch’ contingency plan and jamming of
all non-government communications, the existence of FEMA refugee
and detainment camps, coupled with confirmations that the U.S. government is training
members of the armed forces for domestic policing duties and preparing
for economic collapse and civil unrest, this latest legislation may very well be the final
nail in the coffin for American liberty as we have known it under the US
Constitution.
When implemented simultaneously with existing laws
and Presidential orders, the National
Defense Resources Preparedness executive order establishes a clear chain of command and control
over all aspects of American life in what can only be described as a police
state under martial law.

*Special Thanks to Readers: This recent
executive order from the President has obviously struck a nerve. At last
count we’ve received over 50 emails alerting us to this story since
Saturday afternoon. Within 48 hours of this order being signed there already
seems to be a massive public outcry. This is, by all accounts, one of the
most, if not the most, dangerous laws enacted in American history. The
NDAA, it seems, was merely a warm-up.
