EXECUTIVE ORDERS

Let's eyeball the executive branch of the national government. This will be a beauty! Caesar is alive and well in Washington, D.C. You better believe it.

Earlier mention was made of executive orders. Our research shows the first use of these orders was by President George Washington for household expenses. It was an order signed by him for normal expenses which would be accepted by the Treasury Department and paid. Simple enough.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation was formed under an executive order by Teddy Roosevelt on July 26, 1908.

The first time it was used to make a law was in 1916 by President Woodrow Wilson. It was said to be an 'emergency' measure and Congress was encouraged to validate it. They did.

The door was now open to ignore the Constitution.

This is the same method used by Franklin Roosevelt in 1933 to close all the banks in the country. Remember our gold? Americans were ordered to turn in all their gold to local banks. AFTER this was done, King Roosevelt, by executive order, raised the value of an ounce of gold from $20.00 to $35.00! Guess who that benefitted? International bankers and central banks around the world . . that's who. Americans who turned in their gold were royally screwed.

What are the duties of the executive branch? To make laws or to see that they are faithfully executed?

Nothing in our Constitution allows the president to pass a law or make a law under any circumstances. Nor is there any suggestion that the Congress can delegate their lawmaking authority to the executive branch, emergency or no emergency!

Yet they have done it and they continue to do it

         without any permission in the Constitution or any amendment.
         How do they ignore their  oath  to  uphold  and  support the
         Constitution?  Why not ask them?

Let's explore their law making activities . . . govern-

         ment uses  a publication  called the  Federal Register where
         all regulations are published  daily.   (Regulations?  Where
         the hell  did that  come from?)  This publication amounts to
         more than 70,000 pages a year.  Here is where  the executive
         orders are published. 

When they appear, they remain in limbo for 30 days and

         the Congress or any  citizen  can  write  and  object to it.
         70,000 pages  a year  would take a full-time staff member of
         each member  of  the  Congress  to  watch  and  study  these
         'regulations'.  Congress pays no  attention to  the  Federal
         Register.

At the end of the required thirty days, all these regulations become 'law' and have the full effect of law! There are occasions where these are challenged in courts when they have affected some individual and a few have been overturned. See how simple they have made it? Write it, put it in a federal publication and if no one says anything about it, it mysteriously becomes law.

All sorts of regulations from every division of the

         executive branch are published in  the  Federal Register and
         this is where all the goodies are listed.   If you doubt the
         'laws' in the Federal Register have teeth, write the Govern-
         ment Printing Office and request a copy. 

What happened to the concept that only the Congress can

         make a law?  Did you say it was OK or was there an amendment
         passed by the people allowing this to go on?  

Now let's look at some of the real dirty work they have

         done with executive orders. .  There are over 12,000 laws of
         this type on the books now.  Congress, when  asked, does not
         even know what they are.  This is our  lawmaking body.  Part
         of the government that is  supposed to  "establish  justice,
         insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence,
         promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of lib-
         erty" . . . snicker, snicker . . . 

This one is really scary . . . A blueprint for a dictatorship!

Executive Order No. 11921 was published in the Federal

         Register in June 1976 and  updated since.   This is the mas-
         ter plan for tyranny and the death of our Constitution.

All the President has to do is declare a national

         emergency and  big brother  will or can take over every form
         of newspaper, radio  and  television  stations.    They will
         confiscate your CB's, weapons, tell you where to live, work,
         how much  food  you  can  have,  establish   rationing   and
         price controls.  In effect, they can declare martial law and
         you will not be able to do anything  about it.   Neither can
         the Congress. 

Can you imagine a law like this on the books in this country?

All they are waiting for is a certain set of circumstances and someone who wants to be a dictator and away we go.

If you haven't heard or read about Executive Orders, this one especially, let me break the bad news. It's on the books.

Most bureaucrats and their egghead lackeys, when asked about this executive order, will say it only concerns the orderly control of the country if we have a nuclear attack. This is a cockeyed lie!

The opening words of Executive Order 11921 are blunt:

         "WHEREAS our national security is dependent upon our ability
         to assure continuity of  government, at every  level, in any
         national  emergency  type  situation  that might conceivably
         confront  the  nation;   and   WHEREAS   effective  national
         preparedness planning to meet such an emergency, including a
         massive nuclear attack. . ." 

Look closely at the words they are using, "any national

         emergency   .   .   .   including massive nuclear . . . " is
         clear. ��
              They can decide what  the emergency  is and it does NOT
         have to be nuclear attack.
              Congressional  investigators  began to  look  into this
         subject and found  470 special statutes which can be invoked
         by the President in  a declared  national emergency.   Where
         the  hell  did  they  find  the  power for him to be able to
         declare a national emergency?  

Senator Mathias testified before a House Judiciary committee in 1975:

"Under the authority delegated by these statutes, the

         President may seize property; organize and control the means
         of production; seize  commodities;  assign  military  forces
         abroad; institute martial law; seize and control  all trans-
         portation  and  communication;  regulate  the  operation  of
         private enterprise; restrict travel;  and  in a  plethora of
         particular  ways,  control  the   lives   of   all  American
         citizens."

This is only the frosting . . . Wait until we look at

         the real powers they will have when  they  decide  which day
         will be 'X-Day'.

How can this be? From this 1975 testimony, Congress is

         aware of  what can  be done  yet they  do nothing to control
         this power.  Are  they all  part of  this 'mutual admiration
         society' in  the cesspool known as Washington DC?  Most will
         probably tell you "I don't know this, so it must  be false."
         Where did  we go  wrong?   How did they assume this power in
         absolute violation of the  Constitution  and  all  the oaths
         they have taken before they took office?
                       

What was it the President swore? "That I will faith-

         fully execute the office  of  the  President  of  the United
         States,  and  will  to  the  best  of  my ability, preserve,
         protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." 
                        

Is this preserving, protecting and defending the

         Constitution?  Is their oath just a  bunch of  words  to  be
         recited when they take office?  If he were going  to do what
         his oath requires, why hasn't a president  told  Congress to
         pass a law abolishing executive orders? 

Why hasn't the Congress simply taken the lawmaking

         ability  away  from  the  president?    Why  hasn't Congress
         assumed  their  duties  as  required  by  the  Constitution? 
         Looks like  we have  allowed things  to get  away from us in
         the last few years, doesn't it?   What  do our  kids have to
         look forward to if we don't stop this horse dung now?

Let's take a look at some of the powers they will

         assume  if  there  is  "any  national  emergency,  including
         nuclear attack":

Part 9-Department of Commerce

Section 901. Resume of Responsibilities. The Secretary of Commerce shall prepare national emergency plans and develop preparedness programs covering:

(1) The production and distribution of all materials, the use of all production facilities (except those owned by, controlled by, or under the jurisdiction of the Department of Defense or the Atomic Energy Commission), the control of all construction materials, and the furnishing of basic industrial services except those otherwise assigned, including:

(a) Production and distribution of and use of facilities for petroleum, solid fuels, gas, electric power and water;

(b) Production, processing, distribution, and storage of food resources and the use of food resource facilities for such production, processing, distribution and storage;

(c) Domestic distribution of farm equipment and fertilizer;

(d) Use of communications services and facilities, housing and lodging facilities, and health, education, and welfare facilities;

(e) Production, and related distribution, of minerals as defined in Subsection 702(5), and source materials as defined in the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended; and the construction and use of facilities designated as within the responsibilities of the Secretary of the Interior;

(f) Distribution of items in the supply systems of, or controlled by, the Department of Defense and the Atomic Energy Commission;

(g) Construction, use, and management of civil aviation facilities; and

(h) Construction, use and management of highways, streets, and appurtenant structures; and

(i) Domestic distribution of health resources.

Scary? Unbelievable? You bet it is. And this is on the books right now just waiting for the moment to declare any type of national emergency.

Do you believe for a moment that we will still be using our computers with the freedom we enjoy today? Chuckle . .

Let's just suppose there were several major bank failures and powers that be decided that they couldn't afford any more failures. A national emergency was called.

Under part 17 of the same executive order, they will take over the complete supervision of all banks and banking operations . . . To the point that they will decide if you can take any money out of your account. They will demand to know what you will spend it for and decide how much you can have. However, if they do not have enough funds to give the full amount, they can ration the funds. If they figure you want your money to hoard it, they can simply refuse to give it to you. Cute?

This includes all banking facilities, so don't feel safe just because your money is in a credit union. They have everything covered! Each check they honor for over $1000 will have to have both sides photographed and of course, none of these regulations will apply to any transactions between banks. Just who does this money belong to?

Is it still the United States? Makes you wonder . . .

For those who dabble in the stock market, under part 25 they will assume the power to close the market, suspend any redemption rights, freeze prices of stocks and bonds. Then they will allow it to reopen only when they decide conditions permit and under their complete control. Remember when Roosevelt changed the value of an ounce of gold from $20 to $35? Who benefitted then? Not us.

And for you readers who own property and believe that

         property belongs to you, we have a little  surprise.  Not if
         this  executive  order  becomes  effective.   You  will  own
         nothing then.   Here's  what Part  22 of the Executive Order
         has to say about that:

(9) National industrial reserve and machine tool program.

         Develop plans for the custody of the  Industrial  plants and
         production equipment in the national  industrial reserve and
         assist the Department of Defense, in  collaboration with the
         Department of  Commerce,  in  the  development of  plans and
         procedures for the disposition, emergency reactivation,  and
         utilization of the plants and equipment of  this  reserve in
         the custody of the Administrator.

(10) Excess and surplus real and personal property.

         Develop plans and  emergency  operating  procedures  for the
         utilization of excess and surplus real and personal property
         by Federal Government agencies with emergency assignments or
         by State and local governmental units as directed, including
         review of the property holdings of Federal agencies which do
         not possess  emergency  functions  to  determine  the avail-
         ability  of  property  for  emergency use, and including the
         disposal of real and  personal property  and the rehabilita-
         tion of personal property.

What do they mean by excess property? Will they tell

         you what of  your property  is excess?  Are  these decisions
         meant to punish  people who  had the  foresight  to put away
         coins or  food for  bad times?  If you have been wise enough
         to sock these items away, please don't tell anyone.

And what is 'rehabilitation of personal property?' If

         someone doesn't like the way  you  use  your  property, will
         they  take  it  from  you  and  give  it  to  someone  else?
         Rehabilitation  is  'restoring  to  good  operation  or good
         management'.

Are these powers we granted to the central government

         under the Constitution?   Where  do  they get  the idea that
         they  can  issue  Executive  Orders and decide a certain day
         that the Constitution is dead?

Did you notice that the Department of Commerce will

         take over all housing and lodging facilities, does that mean
         your home also?  Maybe it also needs rehabilitation? 

They will assume control of all health, education and

         welfare facilities.   You'd  better believe  it will include
         all schools, public and  private, elementary and  secondary.
         There will be no arguments  about school prayer or momentary
         silence anymore.  The decision will be made for us.

The implications are staggering. This is a blueprint for a dictatorship and slavery. No, I haven't been smoking loco weed . . . this is for real.

Plans are all set "to assist civilian educational institutions, both public and private, to adjust to demands laid on them by a large expansion of government activities during any type of emergency. This includes advice and assistance to schools, colleges, universities, and other educational institutions whose facilities may be temporarily needed for Federal, State, or local programs in an emergency."

Wonder what they mean by "adjust to demands laid upon

         them by a large expansion of  government activities?"  Again
         notice the special words:  "during  any type  of emergency."
         They didn't even mention major nuclear attack.

Since "large expansion of government activities" is not

         defined, do they have any limitation?  All this is in  store
         for American citizens.

They have established what they call the 'Federal

         Preparedness Agency'  under the General Services Administra-
         tion which  has the  responsibility to see that this program
         is carried out.  We should keep our eye on the GSA. 

Better yet, get after Congress to get this law making

         ability taken away from the executive  branch of government. 

This program of executive orders is the most dangerous

         weapon in the  hands of government  designed to  make us all
         slaves.  If "X" day is called, America  will be  no more and
         we will  be powerless  to do  anything about it.  Our action
         has to be NOW.  Waiting one day too long will be one day too
         late.

Many will not believe this could happen in our country.

              Write Congress and raise questions about this.  Ask how
         they delegated their  law  making  powers  to  the executive
         branch.

Ask where they found this authority. Ask your

         Congressman for a copy of this particular executive order.

Imagine 12,000 laws of this type on the books at the

         present . . .  All  without any  authority  from us.  And of
         course, no need to tell  the  American  people  about these,
         they wouldn't understand them anyway.  

Is this part of the glory of the position in government? Congress has delegated emergency powers to the president . . . Congress has no power or right to delegate any of their powers. No where in our Constitution does it say anything about giving 'emergency powers to the president'.

The argument goes that in today's world, time could be important and the president has to be able to act quickly. It may be true, however, it cannot be in this country without a grant for that authority from the people.

No where does the right appear to do any thing in case of a mistake or an emergency. The procedures are well defined and it is our duty to see that they are observed. There is no other way in America!

If they feel granting emergency powers is so important, propose an amendment to the Constitution and see if we will agree to the importance. Of course the amemdment procedure is slow and cumbersome. It was meant to be that way. We have ordained and established the authority for our government and only we can agree to changes.

Just because a practice has been used for a long period does not make it right. If the practice was unconstitutional when it began, it is still unconstitutional.

George Washington wrote in his Farewell Address: "The basis of our political systems is the right of the people to make and alter their constitutions of government. But the constitution which at the time exists till changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole people is sacredly obligatory upon all."

He plainly recognized the basis for our government. When did this change occur? It has been said that tyranny comes on slowly. Before anyone realizes it, it's present. Is that what we have today?

Is this the vehicle to make our sovereignty disappear and for the USA to become a full fledged member of the United Nations under Bush's New World Order?
