Martial Law by Executive Order
Martial Law is coming as Planet x gets closer. It will occur after the after economic collapse.
“The National Defense Resources
Preparedness Executive Order of March 16, 2012 did to the country as a
whole what the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act did to the
Constitution in particular- completely eviscerates any due process or
judicial oversight for any action by the Government deemed in the
interest of “national security.” Like the NDAA, the Executive Order puts
the government completely above the law, which, in a democracy, is
never supposed to happen. The United States is essentially now under martial law without the exigencies of a national emergency.
Even as the 2012 NDAA was rooted in the Patriot Act
and the various executive orders and Congressional bills that ensued to
broaden executive power in the “war on terror,” so the new Executive
Order is rooted in the Defense Production Act of 1950
which gave the Government powers to mobilize national resources in the
event of national emergencies, except now virtually every aspect of
American life falls under ultimate unchallengeable government control,
to be exercised by the president and his secretaries at their
discretion.
The 2012 NDAA deemed the
United States a “battlefield,” as Senator Lindsey Graham put it, and
gave the president and his agents the right to seize and arrest any U.S.
citizen, detain them indefinitely without charge or trial, and do so
only on suspicion, without any judicial oversight or due process. The Executive Order states
that the president and his secretaries have the authority to commandeer
all U.S. domestic resources, including food and water, as well as seize
all energy and transportation infrastructure inside the borders of the
United States. The Government can also forcibly draft U.S. citizens into
the military and force U.S. citizens to fulfill “labor requirements”
for the purposes of “national defense.” There is not even any
Congressional oversight allowed, only briefings.
In the NDAA, only the president had the
authority to abrogate legitimate freedoms of U.S. citizens. What is
extraordinary in the new Executive Order is that this supreme power is
designated through the president to the secretaries that run the
Government itself:
• The Secretary of Defense has power over all water resources;
• The Secretary of Commerce has power over all material services and facilities, including construction materials;
• The Secretary of Transportation has power over all forms of civilian transportation;
• The Secretary of Agriculture has power
over food resources and facilities, livestock plant health resources,
and the domestic distribution of farm equipment;
• The Secretary of Health and Human Services has power over all health resources;
• The Secretary of Energy has power over all forms of energy.
The Executive Order even stipulates that
in the event of conflict between the secretaries in using these powers,
the president will determine the resolution through his national
security team.
The 2012 NDAA gave the Government the
right to abrogate any due process against a U.S. citizen. The new
Executive Order gives the government, through the Secretary of Labor,
the right to proactively mobilize U.S. citizens for “labor” as the
government deems necessary and to coordinate with the Secretary of
Defense to maintain data to coordinate the nation’s work needs in
relation to national defense.
What is extraordinary about the
Executive Order is that, like the NDAA, this can all be done in
peacetime without any national emergency to justify it. The language of
the Order does not state that all these extraordinary measures will be
done in the event of “national security” or a “national emergency.” They
can simply be done for “purposes of national defense,” clearly a
broader remit that allows the government to do what it wants, when it
wants, how it wants, to whomever it wants, all without any judicial
restraint or due process. As Orwell famously said in 1984, “War is
peace. Peace is war.” This is now the reality on the ground in America.
Finally, the 2012 NDAA was hurried
through the House and Senate almost like a covert op with minimal public
attention or debate. It was then signed by the president at 9:00 PM on
New Year’s Eve while virtually nobody was paying attention to much other
than the approaching new year. This new Executive Order was written and
signed in complete secret and then quietly released by the White House
on its website without comment. All this was done under a president who
studied constitutional law at Harvard.
It is hard to know what to say in the
face of such egregious disregard for the integrity of what America has
stood and fought for since its founding. It is hard in part because none
of us thought such encroachments would ever happen here, certainly not
under the watch of a “progressive” like Obama.
At one level, the prospect for war with
Iran is probably an immediate justification. But the comprehensiveness
of the Executive Order, like that of the 2012 NDAA, speaks to something
much deeper, more sinister. I would suggest that this Order, like the
NDAA, has been in the works for some time and is simply the next step in
the logic of the “global war on terror.” Our political elites have come
to consider democracy an impediment to effective governance and they
are slowly and painstakingly creating all the democratic legalities
necessary to abridge our democratic rights with impunity, all to ensure
our “security.” Of such measures do republics fall and by such measures
tyrants emerge.
The only thing that really remains is
the occasion to test the new rules of the game. Perhaps that will be war
with Iran, perhaps some contrived emergency, or perhaps, as long as the
public and media remain asleep, no occasion will be necessary at all.
It will just slowly happen of its own accord and we, like the frog in
the pot of slowly boiling water, will just sit there and be consumed by
our own turpitude.”
