    Obama Signed National Defense Preparedness Order AKA Legal Confiscation of Your Property

    National Defense Preparedness Order AKA Legal Confiscation of Your Property This is an executive order signed by President Obama on March 16, 2012. It gives the federal government the legal right to confiscate any of your property during war OR peace time. We all need to be aware that our rights are being taken away on a daily basis. Please pass this information around to others! Link: https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press...s-preparedness

    Barry, when I said many weeks ago in an Obama thread that the emperor wears no clothes, this is what I meant. In that thread people were debating his finer points and his flaws. What's the point when Obama functions as a dictator? He's not his own man, like Hitler, Stalin, or Mao. He is a mere puppet and mouthpiece for the agenda of the ruling elite. He does their bidding. They are the dictators. He is their puppet, their front man. That anyone who understands the Occupy movement would consider voting for him boggles my mind. Apparently they can't see the puppet strings.

    The appeal of Ron Paul is that he would be a significant step in the right direction to turning away from the whole internationally controlled cabal that is ruining our democracy. And thus the issue is not abortion, or social services, or gun control or whatever. The issue is do you want democracy or dictatorship? Paul is the only candidate running who would obey the rule of law, and who is not beholden to these globalist elites. Hopefully headlines like these, that are increasingly common now, will help people finally see that the emperor wears no clothes.

    Re: Obama Signed National Defense Preparedness Order AKA Legal Confiscation of Your Proper

    I'm seeing more info come in about this: This order effectively puts into effect all the legislation congress was unable to pass. The Clear Act (seizure of all water from any source whatsoever), SOPA & PIPA (internet can now be controlled under the seizure of all communications) and the re-instatement of the draft should Obama decide to do so. These are just a few of the little tidbits buried in this document and these and many more items can be activated even in non-emergency situations. The only thing between us and brutal totalitarianism is the people saying NO. All that effort the people put into stopping SOPA & PIPA is gone by the stroke of a dictator's pen. https://ppjg.me/2012/03/20/ts-radio-...offey-returns/

    I recently wrote, "The appeal of Ron Paul is that he would be a significant step in the right direction to turning away from the whole internationally controlled cabal that is ruining our democracy."

    The word appeal doesn't quite describe it. People are devoted to Ron Paul like they are devoted to democracy. They see our democracy being flushed down the toilet, and for once a man running for President who is devoted to restoring democracy and who cannot be bought and sold like the rest. They see Paul as their last hope for a life of freedom and the restoration to the rule of law, the Constitution. So it's no wonder they are the strongest, most dedicated, and loyal supporters of any candidate we've ever seen. They see what is to be lost.

    And to tell you the truth, fair and accurate elections are a thing of the past. We are witnessing yet another staged show. So our choices are coming down to brutal totalitarianism or revolution. And once their guns come out, it's over. The only way I see revolution being strong enough to overthrow these elite few is if liberals and conservatives, democrats, republicans and independents alike, put aside their differences, and I mean REALLY put aside their differences and stopped wasting their time, energy and power doing this, and unite in revolution to overthrow them like their lives depend upon it.

    I know, huh?

    After watching the video on post #9 and reading the posts and going to the government website and reading some of and scanning other parts of the E/O there; I come to the conclusion that the E/O is reconfirming the already existing laws (from 1950’s) and have only modified them for the so-called (and ambiguously stated but none the less implied...), non ending “War On Terror” and, of course, things like cyberwar which is a modification of the communications (act) that already existed in 1950...

    ...It seems like this thread is predicated on misinformed (exaggerated) fear mongering to me on this one....
    The video with Glen Beck pointing at the map of where the Government owns land is a clue of where this (form of fear mongering) is coming from.

    Don’t forget that we the people are ultimately (supposedly anyway) the “Government”.

    I am glad that there is “Government Land” (“Public Land”) otherwise there would be more forbidden zones to you and me, and there would be NO National Forrest, National Parks, National Monuments, National Preserve, National Wildlife Refuge, State or County Parks etc. for you or me to enjoy, NO, NODA, ZIP!

    It seems to me that some “Private” interests are attempting to scare American people out of their collective ownership and / or control of such places like National Forests and they are hitting from and at all sides not just from the right, left, top, or bottom.

    One way or the other, (the) ‘they’ (private interest elitists’) are absolutely determined to get it mostly (if not all of it) for themselves; plane and simple; It’s basically the Confederate Vs. the Union.
    So the question is: has the Civil War really ended in earnest?... ...Or is there a “credible threat” to national security of a “new” “Civil War” (for example) been detected and about to be fired-up and the (Union?) Government is laying legal land mines, so to speak as tactical assurance and, in part, (a) preparation for the possibility of something that we are not completely aware of?

    RE:
    Quote Dunno poddy, no tellin' with that kind of legal mumbo jumbo.....
    Yes there is a lot of “legal mumbo jumbo” in the E/O but there always is when it comes to how laws are written and how the foundations under an “Executive Order” are laid. Can those legalese be misinterpreted?... ...You bet they can and routinely are as a matter of fact.

    ubaru, Will you say, in your own words, (point to and make some reasonable explanation); where or what the threats to our liberty actually are in all that "legal mumbo jumbo" in the E/O as compared to what already existed prior to Obama amending it?

    I agree with you. The thing is, I kindof agree with the fearmongering too, at least a little. Skepticism about government motives is always appropriate. It's just that when the reaction is so indiscriminate...

    Re: Obama Signed National Defense Preparedness Order AKA Legal Confiscation of Your Proper


    Poddy, here's an answer - of sorts - to your question asking for specific citations...


    https://ppjg.me/2012/03/18/the-chief...is-irrelevant/


    The Chief Executive has just declared: Congress is irrelevant


    March 18, 2012 by ppjg
    { proud political junky }

    Marti Oakley /copyright 2012


    The latest assault on the American public and formerly free states of the United States of America, has been launched. Obama constructed and issued the Executive Order referred to as National Defense Resources Preparedness. Under this Order, [National Defense] is clearly laid out. It is clear that the federal government, all of its unlawful agencies, agents, private corporations operating in fraud as “public service” agencies, our military, all of our resources, our labor, our skills, energy, commerce, production, agriculture etc., are now focused on defending the federal government……..from us.






    This order is the fulfillment of Obama’s “We can’t wait” strategy wherein Obama openly
    declared his intention to by-pass congress (essentially informing them they were no longer needed) and to enact tyrannical and dictatorial mandates by circumventing congress and enlarging the powers and enforcement capabilites of unlawfully constructed federal corporations owned by the parent corporation: The United States a.k.a. The United States of America.

    In reference to this Order, Obama, just as Bush2 did, and every president going back to Lincoln, referred to himself as the Chief Executive as in “corporate executive”, not as the elected President of the United States. As a mere president, he is only empowered to enforce the law. But as the Chief Executive of the Corporation, he can hire and fire (he essentially just fired all of congress) change the rules and regulations and use Executive Orders to write laws all by himself.

    We can’t wait either, Mr. Obama

    We can’t wait to see what the states, including governors, do when they realize that Council of Governors appointed to supersede state and local governments and set up to facilitate the 10 United Nations Regions, flex’s its muscle. What do you suppose their reaction will be and that of the citizens of those states?

    We just cannot wait to see what happens when the general public comes to the realization that when Panetta and Dempsey informed the Senate that they take their orders from the United Nations Security Council and NATO, not from congress, they were essentially declaring that they were serving a foreign government not only with your encouragement, but also your tacit approval.

    We are just breathless with anticipation to see the response from the public when they realize you have effectively seized control of agriculture (food) to further force the implementation of “Dirty Harry” Reid’s infamous fake food safety bill that threatens the food security of the entire nation. This will also work so well with the White House Rural Council set up to begin the physical assault on America’s farmers and ranchers, driving them off their land and out of business.

    PART VIII – GENERAL PROVISIONS

    Sec. . Definitions

    (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.

    (d) “Fertilizer” means any product or combination of products that contain one or more of the elements nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium for use as a plant nutrient.

    (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).


    What will the public do when they realize you just re-instituted the draft?

    PART VI – LABOR REQUIREMENTS

    Sec. . Secretary of Labor.

    (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;


    What will the states do when they realize you just implemented the “CLEAR Act” changing the terminology from “navigable waters” to “waters of America”? Usable water from ALL sources? That was really slick! We did notice you made sure to exempt corporations which bottle water (without regulation, I might add) qualifying them as “food resources”. Don’t want to step on any corporate toes, do we?

    PART VII – DEFENSE PRODUCTION ACT COMMITTEE

    Sec. . The Defense Production Act Committee.

    (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.”

    Just in these few sections, you have declared the US government to be a foreign and hostile government to the fifty United States. You have allowed Panetta and Dempsey to declare their allegiance to a foreign ruling body, The United Nations, and to conscript our US military to foreign control. You have empowered your corporate executive office with the ability to seize control of all commerce, trade, transportation, energy, communications, technology, labor, production, and to do so even in a “non-emergency” event.

    The real clinker in all of this was your giving the office of Chief Executive of the Corporation to implement any and all of this even when there is no emergency. The national defense you refer to of course, is the defense of the federal government against the people of the fifty states.

    PART II – PRIORITIES AND ALLOCATIONS

    Sec. . Priorities and Allocations Authorities.

    (b) authority shall be used to promote the national defense, under both emergency and non-emergency


    You have done these things not to protect America, but to protect the monstrosity that is the federal government, from the people you and past chief executives and congresses both current and past, have determined represent a threat to your continued existence.

    As for Congress?

    I don’t know how many pink slips this bunch will have to be served with before they accept the reality they are not only no longer needed…..they are powerless. Imagine, after all these years of betraying the people they were sent to represent, after dishonoring their oath’s of office repeatedly, while smugly assuming that somehow they would remain safe from the overthrow of our Republic……..they find themselves irrelevant, without any power or authority on any level. After decades of unlawfully empowering federal corporate agencies, after decades of ceding the power they did have to unelected bureaucrats and creation of the unconstitutional US Code & Title….they are out of a job. Now, who didn’t see that coming?

    And congress’s overall reaction to the overthrow of the Constitution and the sovereign United States? Uh………basically nothing.

    And lastly, Mr Obama

    We would like to say that we cannot wait to have you removed from office, but it would be pointless. Even if you leave, you will simply be replaced by another anti-American, United Nations representative for the global government. Even a replacement will never undo any of the damage you have done; the assumption of power is too great, too powerful. And besides, no one will ever be allowed to be elected to the position of Chief Executive of the Corporation unless they agree to continue what you have done.

    Which is precisely why the GOP and MSM is going nuts trying to marginalize Ron Paul. Paul has never been groomed or pre-approved by the global government crowd and has repeatedly stated his intentions to deconstruct much of this if elected.

    Re: Obama Signed National Defense Preparedness Order AKA Legal Confiscation of Your Proper

    sigh. It'd be nice if there was at least an attempt to look like a careful dispassionate analysis. This dude (ppig) can't see that by decorating his piece with so much passionate cruft it makes it extremely difficult to see what's fact and what's rant. I suppose he's doing me a favor, though, because it's a bit of a prejudice of my own to more easily accept things when their ideology isn't dripping off them.
    thanks, though, for at least highlighting the areas of concern. I don't agree with ppig that there's much of a smoking gun, though.
    just for one example: sure, there's mention that one department upon request should assist in "planning for induction for ... duty". That's admittedly a possible early step toward universal induction, but is this unprecedented? Are there indications that steps that must happen between a request for assistance turns into forcible induction are also being put into place??

    see what I mean?.. by the way, if I inadvertently trimmed parts of his post that actually support the parts I left in as unsubstantiated claims, please put them back!

    Poddy, if you would have simply clicked on the following link:

    https://ppjg.me/2012/03/18/the-chief-...is-irrelevant/ , you would have at least realized

    that "this dude" -( Marti Oakley )- is a Woman, and not a "dude". But, sigh, you don't hardly ever actually check out any of the links =OR= do any serious research or thinking before you practice your random shootin' from the hip; do you?

    Yeah, the gal is obviously a Libby - but so what? At least the grassroots Libs care about human dignity and freedom and the Bill of Rights - basic stuff like that. God bless them for that. - Even if they are naive to the point that they pin that precious commodity, Hope, upon one more fallible, sentient son of man like congressman Ron Paul of Texas.

    what's the feminine form if not dude? though gender of the poster is irrelevant anyway.

    and sorry: clicking these links isn't particularly serious research either; the shooting's not random; the level of thought may have a correlation to the seriousness of the discussion.


    by the way, this form of public discourse works best when the links are treated as super-informative footnotes. My own preference (I leave it to you to decide how atypical a reader/poster I may be, or how well I follow my own guidelines!) is that there are three separate parts best kept separated - concise and clear description of the thesis and points offered for debate; links to deeper and richer discussion or examples that support the thesis; and, certainly in my case, verbose personal editorialization describing my own point of view. Kind of like the idealized separation between the news and editorial pages in a newspaper, but all bundled in one entertaining (?) package.
    so, no, you're right, I rarely follow the links!!

    I've read the article, It has no more info than any of the other links that have already been posted here.

    For the most part, most of the "conclusions" are somewhat hyperbolic and are largely conjectures of their authors.

    I ask anyone the same as I asked ubaru: ......"Will you say, in your own words, (point to and make some reasonable explanation); where or what the threats to our liberty actually are in all that "legal mumbo jumbo" in the actual E/O Obama signed (are) as compared to what already existed prior to Obama amending it?"

    I really don't see much difference other than more control over weapons manufacturers (a good thing as far as I am concerned) and clarification of law regarding cyber space which did not exist in the 1950's and was not completely addressed with the GW Bush Admin.

    As far as I can tell, the E/O mostly reaffirms existing Executive Powers and (that) were still in effect.

    There is a commenter named "Dan" on that blog in the link that Iolchan posted that makes the same point that I have been trying to convey; he said:
    Quote There is one point that the writer has missed. We are under ‘State of Emergency’, have been since 1933. The original SOE has never been repealed or offically ended by congress. This is where any president since then has gained power over congress, the senate, the house. And so, the fairytale continues.

    Catch up "guys". Dude is now non-gender specific among the young folk. Used both denotationally for, human person, and also connotatively to channel movie comedy uses of the word, "Bill & Ted's ...", "The Big Lebowski".

    I first started hearing its use by one young woman to a group of young women, about ten years ago.

    Language changes organically through usage, it cannot be enforced or preserved by policing.

    Cause Dudes! That's whack!! (My use of whack is archaic as of this date.)


    A point George Lakoff doesn't acknowledge enough, for my taste.

    Everything means Something, &
    Nothing is without Significance...



    The Executive Order, "NATIONAL DEFENSE RESOURCES PREPAREDNESS" of March 16, 2012,
    is thirteen pages long, in 12 point type. It has 5,304 words, one hundred and thirty-six paragraphs, and 34,894 characters, including spaces. We may well wonder what it really does mean - because Everything means Something, and Nothing is without Significance. Here is one salient - and doubtless, significant passage - which I leave to the wise worthy sages of Waccobbia to decipher:


    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.

    (c) Terms and conditions of guarantees under this authority shall be determined in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The guaranteeing agency is authorized, following such consultation, to prescribe: (1) either specifically or by maximum limits or otherwise, rates of interest, guarantee and commitment fees, and other charges which may be made in connection with such guarantee contracts; and (2) regulations governing the forms and procedures (which shall be uniform to the extent practicable) to be utilized in connection therewith.

    Sec. 302. Loans. 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 is delegated the authority of the President under section 302 of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2092, to make loans thereunder. Terms and conditions of loans under this authority shall be determined in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury and the Director of OMB.

    Re: Obama Signed National Defense Preparedness Order AKA Legal Confiscation of Your Proper

    In my own words, what's most disturbing about this executive order is that it is meant for peace time as well as war time. And no matter how hard you look, or try to justify that all's well, there is no good reason for martial law. It's an excuse for a totalitarian power grab. I also think that learning from history is VERY important. The first commenter below has compared this EO to Hitler's DISCRIMINATORY LAWS / DECREE OF THE REICH PRESIDENT FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE PEOPLE AND STATE. The similarities are haunting.

    Obama’s Latest Executive Order: Martial Law, Confiscation of Private Property and Forced Labor

    Kurt Nimmo

    March 19, 2012

    On Friday, March 16, Obama issued another unconstitutional executive order. The National Defense Resources Preparedness EO allows the government to confiscate your property without due process under the direction of Janet Napolitano and the Department of Homeland Security.

    Obama’s EO allows the president to “take actions necessary to ensure the availability of adequate resources and production capability, including services and critical technology, for national defense requirements” in the event of a “potential threat to the security of the United States.”

    Obama’s latest EO demonstrates once again that the executive will continue to violate the Constitution, in particular Article I, Section 1, which states: “All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.”

    Any enactment of law by the executive is made in Excess of Jurisdiction and is by definition treason.

    Fascist Executive Orders

    Obama’s latest EO underscores and reemphasizes Bill Clinton’s EO 12919, signed on June 6, 1994.

    Clinton’s 12919 followed a number of earlier executive orders allowing the government to steal your property – and also force you to be a slave laborer – during a vaguely declared “national emergency.” The government has given itself the authority to seize all communication (from television stations to CB radios), confiscate all food resources (including farms and farm equipment), take control of all transportation (including your family car), and compel you at gunpoint “under federal supervision” to work as a slave.

    National Defense Resources Preparedness is a textbook example of fascism. It allows the government to steal privately owned property and publicly owned infrastructure and hand it over to its preferred corporate partners under the guise of a national emergency: “(b) provide for the modification or expansion of privately owned facilities, including the modification or improvement of production processes, when taking actions under sections 301, 302, or 303 of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2091, 2092, 2093; and (c) sell or otherwise transfer equipment owned by the Federal Government and installed under section 303(e) of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2093(e), to the owners of such plants, factories, or other industrial facilities.”

    Fascist philosopher and Italian dictator Benito Mussolini used his principle of a “nation in arms” to steal private property from citizens. Obama’s latest EO declares the right to do the same. Mussolini devised fascist corporatism – the philosophy of the “corporative state” – and Obama under the direction of his Goldman Sachs and transnational corporate and bankster controllers has updated this corporate-statist doctrine, including the ability to steal privately earned and held wealth under the pretense of a national emergency.

    Martial Law

    Previous administrations installed the groundwork for Obama’s authoritarian move. Under Reagan, executive agencies were granted sweeping emergency powers to not only grab infrastructure and private property, but also round up citizens and put them in concentration camps and force them into slave labor brigades.

    During the Iran-Contra hearings in 1987, it was revealed that the program was a secretive “scenario and drill” developed by the federal government to suspend the Constitution, declare martial law, assign military commanders to take over state and local governments, and detain large numbers of American citizens determined by the government to be “national security threats.”
    Obama’s NDAA was established to provide the legal mechanism for tasking the military to round up activists and others targeted by the government. Prior to the NDAA, the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act and other related programs, the government devised Rex 84 and in particular Operation Garden Plot, an operational plan to use the Army, USAF, Navy, and Marine Corp. in direct support of civil disturbance control operations. It has since added numerous elements under the rubric of Continuity of Government, the overall war on terror, civil disturbance and emergency response.




    With the scantily covered National Emergency Centers Establishment Act, the Military Commissions Act, and the recent NDAA sailing through Congress, and a raft of lesser legislation and unconstitutional directives, we are beginning to see the contours of the police state.
    Corporate Media Ignores National Defense Resources Preparedness
    A Google News search produces virtually no mention of Obama’s latest assault on the Constitution from the establishment media. The alternative media began covering the latest Obama executive order from the moment it was posted on the White House website on Friday, but the corporate media remains silent.
    Obama’s EO should be headline news. It is a direct assault on the Constitution and further empowers an executive branch dictatorship and allows it to exploit a “full spectrum of emergencies” and permits it to confiscate private property and turn citizens into slaves.
    As John Adams noted, the very basis of the Constitution rests on the concept of private property. “The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God,” Adams wrote, “anarchy and tyranny commence. Property must be secured or liberty cannot exist.”

    Could Obama Be America’s First De Facto President?


    Obamas recent Executive Order (The National Defense Resources Preparedness Order) cloaks an expansion of the Defense Production Act of 1950 that concerned Time of War. Obamas broadly written (Preparedness Order) opened the door for Obama to alleged during (Peacetime) any crisisaffects National Securityas a (premise) to e.g. to take over control or confiscate private property fromAmericans, corporations and businessesredistribute any product, food, energy, water or transportation. Who might receive redistributionof other peoples property should concern every American.

    It is unimaginable the Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta for President (Obama), informed Congress the President would no longer need their consent to wage war, that President Obama would get his authority from international treaties and the United Nationsthe latter (A Foreign Agent). Is this an impeachable offense?

    For those informed, it was not a surprise when President Obama insisted on indefinite detentions of U.S. Citizens in the Defense Authorization Act? It was widely known Obama gave a speech in May 2010 at a Security Conference that proposed incarcerating anyone in indefinite detention without evidence of wrongdoing that government deemed a combatant or likely to engage in a violent act in the future; including U.S. When Obama signed NDAA Americans Lost their Constitution and Country To Fascist Legislation. Obama like Hitler gained the power to have U.S. Citizens dragged off the street and from their homes without evidence or probable cause to be imprisoned indefinitely based only on Governments claim they supported hostilities, are a combatant or Belligerent, for whateveror threaten National Security.

    After Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012, overnight millions of lawful U.S. activists may be subject to arrest or Indefinite Detention. Perhaps a portent, when you examine Obamas May 2010 security conference speech, it appearrf Obama was asking for (retroactive power) to incarcerate anyone without evidence that government claimed had prior or currently committed or supported violent acts (on the premise) he or she is likely to engage in or support violent acts in the future: U.S. activists are vulnerable because no activist knows what other activist or groups they associated or networked did in the past or might doalleged illegal in the future domestically or overseas. Some observers believe NDAA included the vague term Belligerent in the manner it did, so U.S. Government would have authority granted by Congress to Indefinitely Detain large numbers of Americans not involved in terrorism.

    Under NDAA some Writers may be dead-meat. Government too easily can allege an authors writings inspired hostilities, Combatant(s) or Belligerent(s) to order an authors indefinite military / civilian detention.
    It is problematic indefinitely detained U.S. Citizens not involved in terrorism or hostilities, not given Miranda Warnings or allowed legal counsel that are interrogated, will be prosecuted for ordinary crimes because of their (alleged admissions) while held in Indefinite Detention. Obama appears intended to override the U.S. Constitution. Obama believes he has the power to detain indefinitely any American without probable cause or evidence. What Americans will dare speak out, criticize or question Government if Obama unleashes NDAA against the public?

    Obama is centralizing power in the federal Government by getting passed legislation U.S. government can potentially use to intimidate and threaten corporations among others. Hitler got passed similar laws shortly before the burning of the German Parliament building that was blamed on the communists. Immediately after the fire, Hitler used his prior passed police-state laws to coerce and blackmail corporations and influential Citizens to support passage of fascist legislation e.g., the (DISCRIMINATORY LAWS / DECREE OF THE REICH PRESIDENT FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE PEOPLE AND STATE that suspended provisions of the German Constitution that protected Citizens freedoms and civil liberties. Obama can us NDAA and Patriot Act section Section 806 and sections of Title 18 The United States Code that include more than 350 civil asset forfeiture laws to threaten any individual or corporation with government asset forfeiture to support his government policies; or Fascist legislation to intimidate, threaten and curtail the civil liberties of Americans. Under U.S. federal civil asset forfeiture laws, a person or business need not be charged with a crime for government to forfeit their property. Government civil asset forfeiture requires only a civil preponderance of evidence, little more than hearsay.

    The passed (Defense Authorization Act of 2012) appears more threatening to Americans than (Hitlers FASCIST 1933 Discriminatory LAWS) that suspended provisions in the Reich Constitution that Protected German Citizens Civil Liberties? For exampleHitlers 1933 DISCRIMINATORY LAWS (stated fines and time limits) Germans could be incarcerated for e.g., Serious Disturbance of the Peace, Provoking Public Unrest, Rioting; Acts that threatened National Security. In contrast Senators John McCain and Carl Levins passed National Defense Authorization Act of 2012mandates holding Americans (Indefinitely) in Military Custody for being a mere Belligerent.
    Compare below Hitler s 1933 DISCRIMINATORY LAWS with passed NDAA The Nationals Defense Authorization Act of 2012:

    1933. ROBL. I 83. GERMANY Preliminary Compilation of Selected Laws, Decrees, and Regulations:
    DISCRIMINATORY LAWS:

    Section 2
    If in a state the measures necessary for the restoration of public security and order are not taken, the Reich Government may temporarily take over the powers of the highest state authority.

    Section 4
    Whoever provokes, or appeals for or incites to the disobedience of the orders given out by the supreme state authorities or the authorities subject to then for the execution of this decree, or the orders given by the Reich Government according to Section 2, is punishableinsofar as the deed, is not covered by the decree with more severe punishment and with imprisonment of not less that one month, or with a fine from 150 up to 15,000 Reich marks.

    Who ever endangers human life by violating Section 1, is to be punished by sentence to a penitentiary, under mitigating circumstances with imprisonment of not less than six months and, when violation causes the death of a person, with death, under mitigating circumstances with a penitentiary sentence of not less that two years. In addition the sentence my include confiscation of property.

    Whoever provokes an inciter to or act contrary to public welfare is to be punished with a penitentiary sentence, under mitigating circumstances, with imprisonment of not less than three months.

    Re: Obama Signed National Defense Preparedness Order AKA Legal Confiscation of Your Proper


    The Crux of the Matter :

    Amendment IX

    The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

    Amendment X

    The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.


    These two Amendments are quite brief, and concise, really - but they are Enormous, in their implications of the inherent Power that is vested in the Sovereignty and Collective of the People. We need to be mindful of our inherent Rights - as they are enumerated in the Bill of Rights, and also as they exist in the Divine and Natural Realms.

    We need to Learn how to Assert and Express our Inherent, Civil, Divine, and Natural Rights. Also, we need to Learn how to fight back against the Plutocracy, who have been very busy for decades and decades, dumbing us down, keeping us divided, and whittling away at our Sovereign, inherent Rights.



    A friend of mine, a Realtor, once said, "We don't need another law; not a single one." So why do they keep doing this? - Proliferating Law upon Law? The whole mess is like a vast spider's web, or a net to catch fishes or small birds; an insane net of legal mumbo-jumbo which they - the government lawyers - think is binding upon We, the People. The problem is, it is; if we allow them to get away with this. The Powers enumerated below are the powers of a Totalitarian State, modeled after the pattern of the Corporatism of Mussolini.

    People, Stir yourselves, Wake up.
