Update On $80 Million in Seized Gold Coins: Judge Rules They “Belong to the U.S. Government”

- Mac Slavo - shtfplan

This is possible because of one of Obama's new EOs - I even tried convincing even GATA that there was a difference between the latest and earlier ones - one of the first being that people are rightly so concerned about - indefinite detainment on suspicion and the rest of it. But he has done several late Friday night EOs - and one that GATA felt was simply a roll up of previous ones was much more - but I felt, if they missed it, why bother.

It amounts to imposition of martial law in peace time. It allows (and I'm working from memory) confiscation and modification of any business for government purposes (including farms - mines???); taking control of all modes of transportation and inviting leading citizens to Washington to help supervise. It also makes provision for not just a military draft, but for the involuntary formation of civilians work gangs. It allows any government agency to go to the head of the line and stop all other production when they need "supplies".

I understand DHS did this in its recent procurement of ammo. I could find nothing in the document (on the White House site) that limited government's power (and the power delegated far and wide among the various agencies) to preclude their seizing anything or anybody for any purpose deemed a matter of national security or required in domestic emergencies. They can take and modify anything they want - and the rationale is comprised of wording that can be interpreted in almost any way by any functionary. It also seemed like a move to ensure that DHS was top dog...as even disputes among other departments and agencies would be screened by DHS who would "report" to the White House.

It left me thinking that confiscation of anything, PM included was "on" again. And I wondered how the first public work crew would feel when required to clean up a toxic spill or contain a meltdown at a nuclear plant. I would be delighted to be advised that I misinterpreted the EO and the wording, but read it twice - it made my blood run cold. Then the fact that people had no interest or concern about it was a double shock to my system. I have warned some folks to check it out and consider their personal circumstances in light of what is now law.

It is not a simple re-working of older EOs - as GATA thought - why would they bother? But frankly, I grow wary of being the town crier and the blow-back that comes with it. I feel I have done my duty when I call attention to matters of concern such as this. If people don't want to know or act...well that's on them.

Beginning of the headline :Given that tens of millions of Americans cheered in blissful agreement when a Democratic National Convention promotional video claimed that the only thing we all belong to is the government,it would make perfect sense that every thing else belongs to the government as well. Case in point: In July of 2011 a jeweler’s heirs found ten double eagle $20 gold coins in a family safe that dated back to the Roosevelt administration... Read More
