The Obama administration’s move to update an executive order to allow
the government to seize control of virtually every aspect of society in
both emergency and non-emergency situations lays the groundwork for the
future nationalization of the U.S. economy.
Entitled “National Defense Resources Preparedness,”
Obama signed the executive order late Friday afternoon. Such timing is
normally a deliberate ploy to prevent a controversial issue from being
picked up by the news cycle. Recall that Obama signed the highly
contentious National Defense Authorization Act on New Year’s Eve.
Under section 201, the EO allows the federal government to take control of;
Sec. 201. Priorities and Allocations Authorities. (a) The authority of the President conferred by section 101 of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2071, to require acceptance and priority performance of contracts or orders (other than contracts of employment) to promote the national defense over performance of any other contracts or orders, and to allocate materials, services, and facilities as deemed necessary or appropriate to promote the national defense, is delegated to the following agency heads:
(1) the Secretary of Agriculture with respect to food resources, food resource facilities, livestock resources, veterinary resources, plant health resources, and the domestic distribution of farm equipment and commercial fertilizer;
(2) the Secretary of Energy with respect to all forms of energy;
(3) the Secretary of Health and Human Services with respect to health resources;
(4) the Secretary of Transportation with respect to all forms of civil transportation;
(5) the Secretary of Defense with respect to water resources; and
(6) the Secretary of Commerce with respect to all other materials, services, and facilities, including construction materials.
Although the executive order is an update to the almost
identical EO 12919, which was signed by Bill Clinton in 1994, in Section
201(b) of the new version, the words “under both emergency and
non-emergency conditions” have been added.
In other words, the federal government is claiming the
power to seize totalitarian control of the whole economy –
nationalization über alles.
