This caught me by surprise...

and perhaps someone who is more in tune can explain..

"On March 16th, President Obama signed a new Executive Order which expands upon a prior order issued in 1950 for Disaster Preparedness, and gives the office of the President complete control over all the resources in the United States in times of war or emergency.

The National Defense Resources Preparedness order gives the Executive Branch the power to control and allocate energy, production, transportation, food, and even water resources by decree under the auspices of national defense and national security. The order is not limited to wartime implementation, as one of the order's functions includes the command and control of resources in peacetime determinations."

And this particular source continues...

"The Obama administration appears to be preparing for a long drawn out war in the Middle East, or at the very least, an expected crisis that will require the need to override Constitutional authority and claim dominion over all resources in the United States under the guise of national defense. With the rise in Disaster Preparedness growing for both individuals and states leading up to yesterday's Executive Order, the mood of the nation points strongly towards some event or disaster that will require massive preparations on a national as well as local scale."

THIS from the Canadian Free Press...

"This Executive Order was posted on the WhiteHouse.gov web site on Friday, March 16, 2012, under the name National Defense Resources Preparedness. 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. It’s peacetime, because as the title of the order says, it’s for “Preparedness”. A copy of the entire order follows the end of this story. "

Hoping that somebody can add something to this story....nothing in the MSM at all that I can find.

Another source but nothing in the MSM at all.....I gotta be overreacting or out of touch on this..

"President Obama signed an interesting Executive Order on Friday that should sound the alarm for all Americans. The order, called 'National Defense Resources Preparedness' is actually an amendment to the 'Defense Production Act of 1950' and gives the office of the President total control over all of the resources in the United States in the event of a war or an emergency. What constitutes an emergency and who makes that decision? With so many citizens unhappy with the current administration, it's a question people may be asking in the coming days."

I dont think the site where I get his matters...it is a FACT he signed this on Friday...it is on the WH website.

Again, somebody must know more about this

I think I found the answer, and even though posting the original is a bit embarrassing, I will leave this thread up so as to allow others to know something I did not know...

"We’re getting a lot of e-mail this weekend about an executive order issued on Friday afternoon by President Obama titled “National Defense Resources Preparedness.” While the timing of the EO is curious — why send it out on a Friday afternoon when an administration is usually trying to sneak bad news past the media? — the general impact of it is negligible. This EO simply updates another EO (12919) that had been in place since June 1994, and amended several times since."

"Why the update? If one takes a look at EO 12919, the big change is in the Cabinet itself. In 1994, we didn’t have a Department of Homeland Security, for instance, and some of these functions would naturally fall to DHS. In EO 12919, the FEMA director had those responsibilities, and the biggest change between the two is the removal of several references to FEMA (ten in all). Otherwise, there aren’t a lot of changes between the two EOs, which looks mainly like boilerplate.

In fact, that’s almost entirely what it is."

So, again..will leave it here to further embarrass me but perhaps there is someone other than me that learns stuff sometimes on here and may find this interesting.

I still do not understand why no press release and no coverage by the MSM.

They have to know it will be all over the net.

Maybe now people will begin to believe we are at the end.

What's your point? There is nothing in post #3 to dispel the idea backed up by Snopes that this is just renewing executive powers that have been there since 1938 or so. http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/ndrp.asp

my point, and I am sure you consider it insignificant, but the point was THAT IS WHAT POST #3 SAYS !

I said when I opened this thread that I would leave it open just for folks to learn something about the update even though I was sure I would be embarrassed by somebody. I said that instead of taking it down. Thanks for rewarding my faith !!!

I learn something new each day on here and now it will not happen again.

PS: This is a great day for you TALTARZAC....it is not often you get such an easy target to go after, but I assure you that I will NEVER leave something up like this just so people would know because somebody on here will pile on

LOOKS LIKE ? If you even bothered to read any of the thread before trying to make somebody look bad, you will find I even showed great caution in posting it and after finding out what it really was, I was very clear about WHAT it was and my intent to leave it on here rather than delete so that folks who read this forum TO GET INFORMATION AND NOT JUST BASH, could read it and learn what I had just learned and realized.

I suppose you are so much smarter...well, I learned....got slapped down but have a great memory !
