NOTE: Diogenes Sarcastica's report on Obama's latest mid-night signing of another "Executive Order" is flying fast across the boards of Conservative bloggers; and I ask, why hasn't the main stream media picked up and reported any of this to the American public?! Why the big "secret"?! After all, the Obama administration has always been out in the open with its agenda ....
well, as "open" as Iran is about its intentions to obtain nuclear capabilities!

With last years military maneuvers on the west coast that look suspiciously like crowd control and intelligence gathering practice, along with recent drone overflights of U.S. cities, now quietly the White House announces to little fanfare this little jewel.... well, as "open" as Iran is about its intentions to obtain nuclear capabilities!
Very Sneaky .....

You can read the whole Executive Order for yourself Here.
In short, the 'National Defense Resources Preparedness' order gives the Executive Branch the power to control and allocate energy, production, transportation, food, and even water resources by decree under the auspices of national defense and national security. The order is not limited to wartime implementation, as one of the order's functions includes the command and control of resources in peacetime determinations.
Section 101. Purpose. This order delegates authorities and addresses national defense resource policies and programs under the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (the "Act").
(b) assess on an ongoing basis the capability of the domestic industrial and technological base to satisfy requirements in peacetime and times of national emergency, specifically evaluating the availability of the most critical resource and production sources, including subcontractors and suppliers, materials, skilled labor, and professional and technical personnel;"Executive Orders created for national defense and national preparedness are not new in American history, but in each instance they brought about a Constitutional crisis that nearly led standing Presidents to hold dictatorial power over the citizenry......"
"The Obama administration appears to be preparing for a long drawn out war in the Middle East, or at the very least, an expected crisis that will require the need to override Constitutional authority and claim dominion over all resources in the United States under the guise of national security...." - The Examiner
