New Executive Order: "��Obama Has Just Given Himself the Authority to Seize Your Assets"

On Monday the U.S. government took steps to seize the US-based assets of Russian lawmakers and anyone else that the US government deemed complicit in supporting the Crimean secession movement.

We've seen the U.S. government do this in countless cases surrounding drug and financial crimes, and sometimes even against foreign leaders like Saddam Hussein and Manuel Noriega.

What makes this particular instance so unprecedented and terrifying is that President Obama went so far as to issue a new Executive Order to give himself the authorization to do so, because the laws of the United States are such that our government is not allowed to simply take someone's bank assets, home or business without due process.

Here's the kicker.

The new Executive Order doesn'��t just apply to Russians or foreigners. It gets blanket coverage, so even American citizens could now face asset forfeiture if their actions are deemed to be "contributing to the situation in the Ukraine."

the govt seizes assets on a regular basis no trial no court just on their suspicions

i knew someone that had all their assets frozen back in late 70s early 80s no trial no nothing went to bank and bank told them sorry your accounts are on hold because of a govt freeze order

not only did this almost cause them to lose their business but almost cost the jobs of all their workers


what did they find wrong/illegal nothing after 6 monthes of hassles freeze was lifted with not even an apology

so this has been going on for decades

I did hear about Obama's EO regarding the Ukraine and seizing assets. I don't like this EO but it only reminded me of the NDRP executive order where they can take basically anything we own in peacetime and wartime.

The argument for liberals is that other presidents have had the same EO's like our current NDRP. The HUGE difference is this; they were only allowed to take your property in wartime but NOT in peacetime, NOT in non-emergencies. I think it is bad enough in wartime but Obama cleared the path to make it possible at ANY time.

I want Obama impeached and tried for treason. Unfortunitely even though he has several acts of impeachment against him, he seems to be untouchable.


Here is an article regarding the NDRP. With this new EO, Obama is using the Ukraine conflict to get more control. What else is new?!

See: Government takeover of the Land of the Free?

This Executive Order was posted on the WhiteHouse.gov web site on Friday, March 16, 2012, under the name National Defense Resources Preparedness. In a nutshell, it’s the blueprint for Peacetime Martial Law and it gives the president the power to take just about anything deemed necessary for “National Defense”, whatever they decide that is. It’s peacetime, because as the title of the order says, it’s for “Preparedness”. A copy of the entire order follows the end of this story.



Under this order the heads of these cabinet level positions; Agriculture, Energy, Health and Human Services, Transportation, Defense and Commerce can take food, livestock, fertilizer, farm equipment, all forms of energy, water resources, all forms of civil transporation (meaning any vehicles, boats, planes), and any other materials, including construction materials from wherever they are available. This is probably why the government has been visiting farms with GPS devices, so they know exactly where to go when they turn this one on.

Specifically, the government is allowed to allocate materials, services, and facilities as deemed necessary or appropriate. They decide what necessary or appropriate means.

UPDATE: BIN reader Kent Welton writes: This allows for the giving away of USA assets and subsidies to private companies: “(b) provide for the modification or expansion of privately owned facilities, including the modification or improvement of production processes, when taking actions under sections 301, 302, or 303 of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2091, 2092, 2093; and (c) sell or otherwise transfer equipment owned by the Federal Government and installed under section 303(e) of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2093(e), to the owners of such plants, factories, or other industrial facilities.”



What happens if the government decides it needs all these things to be prepared, even if there is no war? You likely won’t be able to walk into a store to purchase virtually anything because it will all be requisitioned, “rationed” and controlled by the government. Construction materials, food like meat, butter and sugar, anything imported, parts, tires and fuel for vehicles, clothing, etc. will likely become unobtainable, or at least very scarce. How many things are even made here in the USA any more?

A bit of history… During WWII, price stabilization didn’t begin until May of 1942, which froze prices on nearly all every day goods and rationing started in 1943. Why would the government want to control everything before a war?

Here’s what some gas ration cards looked like during WWII. Will there be rationing under this kind of system? What better way to control the movement and actions of the populace…

WWII era gas ration cards via Old Chester PA. You couldn’t go on vacation without a “vacation pass”.

Under this new Executive Order, cabinet heads are authorized to loan money, offer loan guarantees and even subsidize payments at above market rates (no bid contracts?) for whatever they need. This could make Solyndra or Halliburton look like Junior Achievement. Nothing like a war will generate these kinds of huge profits for the corporate “partners” and you can bet the bankers and contractors are already lining up for this one—because under this order no war is even required!

In a crisis situation, the government will be able to take whatever they need, print money to get whatever they want and distribute it as they see fit….for the benefit of a “war effort” or the politically connected corporations and individuals. All other contracts except those for employment are superseded by this executive order, it’s all here in black and white.

Specifically, it orders:

“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:

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;
the Secretary of Energy with respect to all forms of energy;
the Secretary of Health and Human Services with respect to health resources;
the Secretary of Transportation with respect to all forms of civil transportation;
the Secretary of Defense with respect to water resources; and
the Secretary of Commerce with respect to all other materials, services, and facilities, including construction materials.
About all I can say is “Have a nice day!”

Yes it has, because the people let it. The IRS seized certain funds from my account and I went after the bank. The IRS kept the money but the bank reimbursed me and it was their problem, not mine.

What most people do not realize is that the banks and the IRS are in collusion. But the difference being the banks do not have the perceived level of protection and are much easier to get to in the courts than the IRS.

I love messing with banks, they are so easy. I mean they will fall all over themselves to give you money to keep from going to court for a suit they can't get dismissed. It costs a minimum of $10,000 to see a suit all the way to the end and with no hope of recovery of expenses in most cases. What they depend on is you having to hire an attorney and spending the same amount or more, that is why it takes about five years to settle suits.

Now if you know how to do it yourself and not only negate their little maneuvers but add to their costs, you win.

But that is less than half the story. There is so much more going on. We need to thank Egypt actually for the delay of their plan.
