Sounds eerily like the state the Roman Empire was in right before it fell. We are seeing the start of a change in our government as we know it. I just hope it will be for the common good, but somehow I just don't think that is going to happen.

It's an oligarchy run by bankers, corporate execs, and financial tycoons. Seeing as no word fits the bill, I'll make up my own and call it a Monstrocracy.

Um, most of the executive orders that are mentioned were signed in by JFK. Side note, and this is important, they were rescinded by Richard M. Nixon, and thus are no longer valid.
I do not see anything there that would indicate that they are still valid or would lead to martial law on a national level as is suggested here.
The current legal status of the emergency powers of the President involves so many statutes and executive orders that misconceptions abound. Since some of these legal instruments revoke prior ones, and some absorb the content of others, the confusion seems to multiply.
In 1971 Congress was astonished to discover that our nation had been in a continuous state of national emergency since Roosevelt's proclamations of 1933. Additionally, still binding were the emergencies proclaimed by Truman in 1950 and Nixon in 1970.
In 1976 Congress passed the National Emergencies Act , which terminated any existing declarations of national emergency effective September 14, 1978. Nevertheless, the 1976 Act did not affect the 1933 Act in any manner. Moreover, it did not stop subsequent presidents from declaring states of emergency.
