Some very disturbing headlines the last few days

FBI: Paying Cash For a Cup of Coffee a 'Potential Indicator of Terrorist Activity'

FAA: Look For 30,000 Drones To Fill American Skies By The End Of The Decade

Congress Calls for Accelerated Use of Drones in U.S

Government 'may sanction nerve-agent use on rioters', scientists fear

Some photos with no backstory are making the rounds, showing what appears to be an Indianapolis police sniper checking out his post in the rafters of Lucas Oil Stadium in the hours or days before the Super Bowl, a post that would be manned when the game began. Yes, we know there's nothing surprising about trained marksmen working the biggest sporting event of the year. We also know it's pretty damn cool to see what the Super Bowl snipers are working with.

It's standard operating procedure to have an invisible law enforcement presence at any high-profile event, let alone one with the attendance and attention the Super Bowl receives. And remember, there are all kinds of politicians and other assorted rich people around. You never know what could happen, though the imagination conjures up increasingly insane and horrifying scenarios, and also the criminally underrated Black Sunday. It's just never a bad idea to have a sniper rifle around.

It's no secret that the Super Bowl is staffed by sharpshooters. "We've got a lot of places for snipers in here," Jerry Jones enthused to CNN about Cowboys Stadium before last year's Super Bowl. In 2009, Ashton Kutcher noticed (and filmed) a pair of them across the street.

This Looks Like A Fortified Sniper's Nest At The Super Bowl

Nerve Gas for rioters and protestors? Snipers at sports event?

geeeeeeze just had a reply disappear..wonder what i did this time

maybe cause it was a rant about those new light bulbs...


you know cause the gov thinks we are too expletive stupid to buy them without it being a law
and without elimination our  choice
and wait till you need to replace one of those long florences..the new bulbs don't fit the old fixturs...
you hafta buy and replace all your fixtures
and then if that isn't enough for them
the mercury in the new bulbs means you can't toss em in regular garbage...
they're probably already writting the law to convict you for not doing THAT right
then when you're a fellon
and then they can trace you according to their  blankey blank laws...

grrrrrrrrrr..still ranting...sorry..sorta

Seig und Heil, Mein Führer

Actually you are lucky, at least you don't live in a country where they imprison you for Energy Research! 

Oops, my bad, they do 

[Amaterasu]

[sigh]  I really do think we need to fix this.  This is not the "land of the free..."  Not that it ever truly was, I suppose, but this is now the land of the nearly completely controlled!

Please spread the word about My petition!  There may still be time to change the tide.  At least I hope so.

[burntheships]

We just cant get a break.
This is looking very Orwellian, and worse.

Around Thanksgiving, I noticed a drone over the
freeway...scary.

Her story reminds me of relatives from Karlsruhe, germany who said they knew folks who were stuck on the east side, and they never saw them again.

Wake up America is a statement too late, and falls on deafened ears.
Deafened by our goverments inability to accomplish anything except to blow stuff up.

Face it folks, we already are a communist country, and a hybrid of socialism and communism is what the POTUS has in store for us. We have been in this state since 2001, when the people were effectively cut off from any hope of advancement in society by the Bush families doctrine, and are now working toward total loss of freedom. We are stagnant in nearly all areas.
I think it's a few years away, but when the balance goes over, hold on, cause we are in for a crappy life, while the fatcats sit on their hills and eat caviar and drink fresh fruit juices.

They learned if they let the economy tank they dont have to do anything to us but let us beg for mercy, when the money runs out....oops, it already did!

Kind of like..shoot yourself in the foot, to save the rest of your body, eh?

In case anyone missed this, DHS show of force is now at the gates of football games magic wanding fans before they get in. In all the time there has been brutal sports like football, never have there been a terrorist act other than drunkeness, players bounty hunting other players and the occassional spuds mckenzy running out on the field naked or something.

Walmart has DHS eyeballin shoppers coming into walmart now as well. Shoppers are evil and they have to be pruned for bad guys cause ya never know about that closet terror shopper comin out of the la la land of the insane shopper misfit family unit.

They weren't kidding when they said it will be like that at bus stations, train stations and . . . . .

Sig Heil!!!!!!

I like Germany, My dad was full Blooded German and spoke the language as well. He was american first though and was army airforce at victorville california

New Obama Executive Order Seizes U.S. Infrastructure and Citizens for Military Preparedness

March 18, 2012
In a stunning move, on March 16, 2012, Barack Obama signed an Executive Order stating that the President and his specifically designated Secretaries now have the authority to commandeer all domestic U.S. resources including food and water. The EO also states that the President and his Secretaries have the authority to seize all transportation, energy, and infrastructure inside the United States as well as forcibly induct/draft American citizens into the military. The EO also contains a vague reference in regards to harnessing American citizens to fulfill "labor requirements" for the purposes of national defense.

Let's take a step backin time and rewrite the above paragraph.

Let's take a step backin time and rewrite the above paragraph.


March 18, 1935
In a stunning move, on March 16, 1935, Adolf Hitler signed an Executive Order stating that the Chancellor and his specifically designated Secretaries now have the authority to commandeer all domestic German resources including food and water. The EO also states that the Chancellor and his Secretaries have the authority to seize all transportation, energy, and infrastructure inside Germany as well as forcibly induct/draft German citizens into the military. The EO also contains a vague reference in regards to harnessing German citizens to fulfill "labor requirements" for the purposes of national defense.

Now do we see the significance of this?

NaturalNews) "We told ya so" just doesn't quite cut it anymore. As the American sheeple slept, selfishly refusing to take a stand against tyranny, the Obama administration has been plotting what can only be called a total government takeover of America.

On March 16, 2012, President Obama issued an executive order entitled, "NATIONAL DEFENSE RESOURCES PREPAREDNESS." (http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/03/16/executive-order...)

This executive order states that the President alone has the authority to take over all resources in the nation (labor, food, industry, etc.) as long as it is done "to promote the national defense" -- a phrase so vague that it could mean practically anything.

[Ellirium113]

Sec. 102.  Policy.  The United States must have an industrial and technological base capable of meeting national defense requirements and capable of contributing to the technological superiority of its national defense equipment in peacetime and in times of national emergency.  The domestic industrial and technological base is the foundation for national defense preparedness.  The authorities provided in the Act shall be used to strengthen this base and to ensure it is capable of responding to the national defense needs of the United States.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/03/16/executive-order-national-defense-resources-preparedness

So basically all Obama has to do is start another war and the list of Government employees will take one hell of a jump to put it bluntly.

[rdunk]

When I first saw this Executuve order, I too was very concerned, because of what I thought I was seeing in what Obama was trying to do. Well, fortunately, for me, that is now not a problem, because of a report I found on the internet. Assuming that it is accurate, I don't think that this doc gives us any more to worry about than what is already "on our political plates".

I am posting this report below for all of you, and hopefully it will help you as it has me.

Obama executive order nothing to storm the castle over

David Martosko is The Daily Caller's executive editor. He is the father of two, a frequent public speaker, and a graduate of Dartmouth College and the Johns Hopkins University.

On Friday President Obama signed an executive order titled "National Defense Resources Preparedness," and by Saturday the conservative Twitterverse had erupted into righteous indignation, organized under the ExecOrder. But the 140-character expressions of outrage and the anti-Obama tea party angst masked the fact that very little in the presidential proclamation is new.

Most of it combines existing executive orders from Presidents Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. Those earlier orders refined similar statements from Presidents Harry Truman and Richard Nixon.

And Truman and Nixon, it turns out, were both updating language from President Roosevelt after the passage of the Defense Production Act in 1950.

While Obama's executive order is written in sophisticated legislative verbiage, its aim should be clear to anyone who reads it from front to back as I did. (You're welcome.)

And Microsoft Word has a nifty "compare" feature that combines two documents into a single version with every single difference, no matter how small, spelled out in red. It's a huge time-saver.

So what's new since 1994?

When Bill Clinton issued his version of the plan to prepare the country for some unstated national military emergency, most disaster response functions were assigned to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

Today, those functions belong to the Department of Homeland Security, whose sub-agencies include FEMA. Most of the significant changes from Clinton's order to Obama's involve reassigning FEMA's old duties to DHS — which didn't exist when Clinton was president. Obama did this in 10 separate places.

But in large part, the function of this executive order — in all its historical incarnations — is to clearly delineate what each cabinet secretary is responsible for if the country should go kablooey.

Obama also axed the FEMA director's prior role as a tie-breaking vote whenever two cabinet secretaries might disagree about allocating resources in a time of emergency. From now on that decision will land on the president's desk.

After the black eye FEMA got — deserved or not — following Hurricane Katrina, this is at minimum a smart PR move.

Obama also red-lined the Export-Import Bank of the United States from Clinton's order completely. But even that is probably meaningless: The Ex-Im Bank's charter is set to expire this year, but Obama is strongly in favor of its renewal.

Another curious change involves the Department of Agriculture's mandate. New language from Obama includes, for the first time, "livestock resources, veterinary resources, [and] plant health resources."

It also expands the definition of "food resources" to include "potable water packaged in commercially marketable containers." On the other hand, Obama has curiously eliminated tobacco form the list of things the government can — and has been able to since before any of us were born — control if an unfriendly power should ever drop the big one on New York City. 

All of this seems completely sensible.

Still, breathless statements flooded Twitter over the weekend, by Sunday reaching a pace of about 20 per minute.

"To Obamabots and other asleep #Americans: Wake the hell up! New Executive Order dated March 16th. Prepare yourselves!" read one.

"Obama's 'Dictator' executive order. Read it & tell me if you REALLY believe Hitler comparisons are legit," said another.

Other tweets warned that Obama aims to "make it easier to push America N2 totalitarianism like China" and had seized "the power to STOP ALL ELECTIONS." One Twitter user said that in the wake of the executive order, "I've decided to buy stock in Guillotine companies."

The most common tweeted phrase about the executive order, by far, was "peacetime martial law."

The narrow span of initial reactions from conservative websites ranged from "stunning" and "harassing"  to "totalitarian" and "the blueprint for Peacetime Martial Law." One typical thread simply declared that the president had "gone too far."

What's maddening about this, aside from the fact that so few commentators, clearly, had actually read the order, is the knee-jerk assumption that Barack Obama is somehow less trustworthy — at the molecular level — with his constitutional powers than was Bill Clinton.

Yes, the Internet has turned political events into tinder with a ferocity Clinton never faced. And yes, the political right harbors an intense distrust of the Oval Office's current occupant.

But the idea that he would, in an election year, suddenly declare himself the singular steward and controller of all private property, or put himself in solitary control of the water supply or reinstitute the draft — all accusations I've read online in the past day — is ludicrous.

If you want to see what any legislative or regulatory language really means, skip over all the nouns (like food, water, fertilizer and fuel) and look at the verbs.

Columnist Ed Morrissey spotted a few in Obama's executive order: "identify," "assess," "prepare," "improve," "foster [cooperation]," "provide." These aren't exactly words that suggest lots of action. I don't see "usurp," "hijack" or "shanghai."

I also don't see anything in the executive order that establishes a new legal authority of any kind. Not only is the language old hat, but it spells out which laws the White House is relying on for its authority.

So this is all pretty thin soup.

If we can't trust the president — any president — to look at what's going on and make his cabinet secretaries play nice, we have bigger problems than who's going to control the next corn crop if Putin starts punching in launch codes instead of his ATM password.

So everyone just chill, okay? It's time to crumple up those tinfoil hats. At least for a week or so.

Sorry everyone, I fixed the video in my post.

Why panic when you can still prep?



I am not happy about the developments so far,
kind of distrubing.
