Took me a while to find it, Page 15 at the top of page. Thats a relief.
That doesnt mean there is no potential for serious danger. Look at this: Quote: Recipe for TreasonOriginally created in 1962 by President John F. Kennedy, this particular collection of executive orders allows a total subjugation of the fundamental freedoms that Americans often take for granted.
The first of the Kennedy-issued executive orders (E.O. 10995) allows the president to take control of all media, as long as a national emergency exists. Included as media are radio, television and, conceivably, telephone and Internet outlets.3 Other executive orders from this cluster (E.O. 10997, 10990, 11003 and 11005) allow the seizure of all facilities that produce energy, including electricity, gasoline, and solid fuels.4
All means of transportation, both public and private, including ground and air transportation, could be completely controlled by the executive branch as well.5
Another declares that our food resources could be taken over by the executive branch (E.O. 10998). This includes all agriculture, distribution, and retail facilities.6
Furthermore, reminiscent of the Japanese internment under E.O.9066, other executive orders allow for the involuntary registration and relocation of U.S. citizens into labor groups under government surveillance (E.O. 11000, 11002, 11004). The order also grants the executive branch authority to take over labor, services, and manpower resources.7
Under E.O. 11921, the government is empowered to take over health, education, welfare, mechanisms of production and distribution, energy sources, wages, salaries, credit and the flow of money.
There is very little of the economy and private life which hasn't been included under these orders.
A common but erroneous belief is that the above executive orders have either expired or been rescinded. We shall see in the next section that this is not true. | [/b] |
The President can also declare martial law if needed...I'm not seeing that issue..
<!--QuoteBegin-gr8fuldaniel, <snip>----------------------------------------------------------- Wait a minute, looky here, skip a couple of paragraphs:.... Quote: | In 1976 Congress passed the National Emergencies Act , which terminated any existing declarations of national emergency effective September 14, 1978.11 Nevertheless the 1976 Act did not affect the 1933 Act in any manner. | [/quote]
Quoted from my link - Quote: | However, the act did not cancel the 1933, 1950, 1970, and 1971 national emergency proclamations because these were issued by the President pursuant to his Article II constitutional authority. Nevertheless, it did render them ineffective by returning to dormancy the statutory authorities they had activated, thereby necessitating a new declaration to activate standby statutory emergency authorities. | They are still there, but dormant and would require a new declaration to activate them...I'd say that affects the 1933 act in some manner..wouldn't you?
