not so USELESS RAMBLINGS not so USELESS RAMBLINGS Executive What?

There have been more than 13,700 Executive Orders since Washington took office in 1789. Every president has issued at least one during their administration. I’m sure we’ve all heard the phrase, “changes made by executive order” but we rarely ever really know what the document says, why it says it, or how it’s going to actually happen. Sadly, a vast majority of these EO’s are replete with controversy.

What exactly is an executive order? An executive order is a signed, written, and published directive from the President of the United States that manages operations of the federal government, but is different from a proclamation or an administrative order. Executive orders are not legislation and require no approval from Congress, and Congress cannot just overturn an EO. Only a sitting president can overturn an existing EO by writing a new one that cancels out the original. The only thing Congress can do is attempt to pass legislation that would remove funding for whatever the EO is supposed to accomplish.

John F. Kennedy (democrat) signed several executive orders on February 16, 1962 which would allegedly give certain dictatorial powers to appointed bureaucrats in the event a “National Emergency” should be declared by the President — whichever president is sitting in office at the designated time. At the president’s discretion “in any time of increased international tension or economic or financial crisis” the E.O.’s could theoretically be enacted. If enacted, they would give authority to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to control: communications, energy, food, fuel, farms, transportation, highways, railroads, inland waterways and seaports, health, education and welfare, drafts citizens into work forces under government supervision; relocation of populations, designates areas to be abandoned as ‘unsafe’; relocates communities, and controls all public storage facilities.

EO 10995 - Allows the government to seize and control the communication media.

EO 10997 - Allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels, and minerals.

EO 10998 - Allows the government to seize all means of transportation including personal cars, trucks, or vehicles of any kind and total control over all highway, seaports, and waterways.

EO 10999 - Allows the government to take over all food resources and farms.

EO 11000 - Allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.

EO 11001 - Allows the government to take over all health, education, and welfare functions.

EO 11002 - Designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons.

E0 11003 - Allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.

EO 11004 - Allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate communities, build new housing with public funds, designate areas to be abandoned, and establish new locations for populations.

EO 11005 - Allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways, and public storage facilities.

On June 3rd, 1994, William J. Clinton (D) signed executive order 12919 that encompasses all the EO’s signed by JFK in 1962, thus putting everything into one neat little package for easy enactment when the time comes to put them into play.

EO 11049 - John F. Kennedy (D)- Sept. 14, 1962

Assigns emergency preparedness functions to federal departments and agencies consolidating 21 operative Executive Orders issued over a 15-year period

EO 11051 - John F. Kennedy (D) - Sept. 27, 1962

Specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis

EO 11310 - Lyndon B. Johnson (D) - Oct. 11, 1966

Grants authority to the Department of Justice to enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute industrial support to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President.

EO 11921 - Gerald R. Ford (R) - June 11, 1976

Allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and distribution of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit, and the flow of money in the US financial institution in any undefined national emergency. It also provides that when a state of emergency is declared by the President, Congress cannot review the action for 6 months.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency has broad powers in every aspect of the nation. General Frank Salzedo, chief of FEMA’s Civil Security Division, stated in a 1983 conference that he saw “FEMA’s role as a new frontier in the protection of individual and governmental leaders from assassination, and of civil and military installations from sabotage and/or attack, as well as prevention of dissident groups from gaining access to US opinion, or a global audience in terms of crisis.”

FEMA’s powers were consolidated by President Carter to incorporate the National Security Act of 1947 that allows for the strategic relocation of industries, services, government, and other essential economic activities, and to rationalize the requirement for manpower, resources, and

Production Facilities

The 1950 Defense Production Act gives the President sweeping powers over all aspects of the economy.

The Act of August 29, 1916 authorizes the Secretary of the Army, in time of war, to take possession of any transportation system for transporting troops, material, or any other purpose related to the emergency. The International Emergency Economic Powers Act enables the President to seize the property of a foreign country or national. These powers were transferred to FEMA in a sweeping consolidation in 1979.

Now that all of that is laid out on the table, take a look at our current situation. We are funding a massive war in the Ukraine against Russia. China is on the verge of launching an assault on Taiwan and are really pissed off at the US for attempting to stop them, so much so that they are building a new military base in Cuba.

It’s only a matter of time before the United States becomes a serious target. But you have to wonder if the war will be brought upon us by a foreign country or if we will have a repeat of the Civil War. This time it won’t be the North and the South, it will be the left and the right.

Either way, when a war begins on our soil, all the aforementioned executive orders and the various acts can, and most likely will, be enacted. That is the day that these global elitist douchebags are waiting for. That is the day that the land of the free ceases to exist. That is the day we become just another 3rd world dictatorship.

I will leave you with the following quote…

“There is no criminal or legal penalty for failure to obey an Executive Order.” - Mr. Bill Leary, National Security Council.
