Obama Expands Federal Power Over the States with Executive Order

Obama has issued another executive order, this time establishing a so-called “Council of Governors.”

The order, signed on January 11, further diminishes the sovereignty of the states and builds on a framework for possible martial law. The executive order was completely ignored by the corporate media.

“By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 1822 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-181), and in order to strengthen further the partnership between the Federal Government and State governments to protect our Nation and its people and property,” the order reads.

The Council shall meet at the call of the Secretary of Defense or the Co-Chairs of the Council to exchange views, information, or advice with the Secretary of Defense; the Secretary of Homeland Security; the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism; the Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental Affairs and Public Engagement; the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Americas’ Security Affairs; the Commander, United States Northern Command; the Chief, National Guard Bureau; the Commandant of the Coast Guard; and other appropriate officials of the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense, and appropriate officials of other executive departments or agencies as may be designated by the Secretary of Defense or the Secretary of Homeland Security.​

In other words, the Pentagon and Homeland Security will give hand-picked governors their marching orders under the guise of “synchronization and integration of State and Federal military activities in the United States,” a direct violation of Posse Comitatus.

“....to protect our Nation and its people and property....” the order reads.


I thought that was what the US Northern Command was for.

Evidently they do but I still hold that the American populace
will continue to quietly abide each and every usurpation of their liberties.

Their complacency knows no bounds.
Osama will provide.

It's a group of 10 governors (5 REPS and 5 DEMS) working to coordinate the National Guard... :shrug:

What is the criteria used for selection of the "Council of Governors?" 5 'rats and 5 rinos?

What does obama want to do with the Ntl. Guard that can't already be done with in the law? And why does this need to be done now? What does he forsee?

:shrug:

How did Napalitano redefine "terrorist?"

Oh, yeah, "returning veterans" and "rightwing extremists."

The law had the National guard under the President's direct control. (CH1 ss110)
The President shall prescribe regulations, and issue orders, necessary to organize, discipline, and govern the National Guard.

Looks like he's relinquishing power instead of trying to get more of it.

Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

It is/gonna be a Hell of a fight.

If it happens, it'll be an armed insurrection by radicals trying to overthrow the standing, legal and democratically elected GVT. Those participating will be considered illegal combatants and will be killed on site or captured and sentenced to places like Gitmo..for life. Real Americans would resist such a takeover in any way possible as undemocratic and approaching despotism...expect neighbours firing on neighbours, family on family, utter chaos. Maybe once it's done, you can join the rest of the civilized world as the next 50 provinces of Canada.
