With the stroke of a pen, President Obama issued an executive order a few days ago that seizes control over all food and food production resources in the nation: Farms, seeds, tractors, livestock, stored food, food processing centers and even the food in your pantry!

It was officially announced by the President, and you can read it yourself at Whitehouse.gov. It's not just food, either -- Obama has seized all water, labor, metals and other resources that he says will be used to "stockpile" supplies for the military and the government.

Here's my full report on America's descent into total tyranny. (This is not a drill... it's really happening.) http://www.naturalnews.com/035301_Obama_executive_orders_food_supply.html

From Brandon Tuberville on ActivistPost.com:

"In a stunning move, on March 16, 2012, Barack Obama signed an Executive Order stating that the President and his specifically designated Secretaries now have the authority to commandeer all domestic U.S. resources including food and water. The EO also states that the President and his Secretaries have the authority to seize all transportation, energy, and infrastructure inside the United States as well as forcibly induct/draft American citizens into the military. The EO also contains a vague reference in regards to harnessing American citizens to fulfill "labor requirements" for the purposes of national defense.

"Not only that, but the authority claimed inside the EO does not only apply to National Emergencies and times of war. It also applies in peacetime.

"The National Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order exploits the "authority" granted to the President in the Defense Production Act of 1950 in order to assert that virtually every means of human survival is now available for confiscation and control by the President via his and his Secretaries' whim.

"The unconstitutionality of the overwhelming majority of Executive Orders is well established, as well as the illegality of denying citizens their basic Constitutional and human rights, even in the event of a legitimate national emergency. Likewise, it should also be pointed out that, like Obama's recent Libyan adventure and the foregone conclusion of a Syrian intervention, there is no mention of Congress beyond a minor role of keeping the allegedly co-equal branch of government informed on contextually meaningless developments."

"Nevertheless, some have no doubt begun to wonder why the President has signed such an order. Not only that, but why did he sign the order now? Is it because of the looming war with Iran or the Third World War that will likely result from such a conflict? Is it because of the ticking time bomb called the economy that is only one jittery move or trade deal away from total disintegration? Is it because of a growing sense of hatred of their government amongst the general public? Is there a coming natural disaster of which we are unaware? Are there plans for martial law?

"Whatever the reason for the recent announcement of Obama's new Executive Order, there is one thing we do know for sure - 'It wouldn't happen here' has been the swan song of almost every victim of democide in modern human history." Source

this link. Here is the order itself as hosted by the White House. You can read it with your own two eyes. It was issued Friday evening, March 16, 2012, the last day of Spring break for many colleges, just as most news shops had closed up for the week, and people were otherwise planning barbecues and beach outings.

Here at WhiteHouse.gov is where we find the announcement that "The United States must have an industrial and technological base capable of meeting national defense requirements and capable of contributing to the technological superiority of its national defense equipment in peacetime and in times of national emergency," and so therefore it must assume all control of energy, food, water, health care, equipment, and, of course, people

Yes, you read that last one correctly. The Executive Branch claims it can perform a civilian draft people of "outstanding experience and ability without compensation and to employ experts, consultants, or organizations."

The authority cited in the document is the Defense Production Act of 1950, another dictatorial imposition but that happened to have Congressional approval. The dictator this time was President Truman. It allowed

him to requisition every manner of resource to fight the Korean war, to draft people into war, and enabled the executive to impose wage and price controls at will.

Part II, section 301.b says: "Each guaranteeing agency is designated and authorized to: (1) act as fiscal agent in the making of its own guarantee contracts and in otherwise carrying out the purposes of section 301 of the Act; and (2) contract with any Federal Reserve Bank to assist the agency in serving as fiscal agent."

This suggests that any federal department that is part of the executive branch can make a separate deal with the Fed to print as much money as the agency needs to do whatever it wants, without having to ask Congress for any kind of special allocation. It is also possible that this power already existed.

And then there is this report from Wired magazine:

"Under construction by contractors with top-secret clearances, the blandly named Utah Data Center is being built for the National Security Agency. A project of immense secrecy, it is the final piece in a complex puzzle assembled over the past decade. Its purpose: to intercept, decipher, analyze, and store vast swaths of the world's communications as they zap down from satellites and zip through the underground and undersea cables of international, foreign, and domestic networks. The heavily fortified $2 billion center should be up and running in September 2013.

"Flowing through its servers and routers and stored in near-bottomless databases will be all forms of communication, including the complete contents of private emails, cell phone calls, and Google searches, as well as all sorts of personal data trails--parking receipts, travel itineraries, bookstore purchases, and other digital 'pocket litter.' It is, in some measure, the realization of the 'total information awareness' program created during the first term of the Bush administration--an effort that was killed by Congress in 2003 after it caused an outcry over its potential for invading Americans' privacy."
