National Defense Resources
Preparedness Executive Order
On Friday, March 16, Barack Obama signed the “National Defense Resources Preparedness” Executive Order, authorizing his administration to begin
"under both emergency and non-emergency conditions," ... " to employ persons of outstanding experience and ability
without
compensation," and to retain other individuals and organizations with specialized knowledge or abilities, or otherwise important to the
adminstration.
Even more worrisome, Sec. 308 of the E.O. authorizes administration officials to
" procure and install ... equipment, facilities, processes, or improvements to plants, factories, and other industrial facilities ... owned by
owned by private persons.
If this is not blanket aithority to nationalize industry, then, what is?
If it is; why now?
Why the need to conscript people and organizations without compensation?
As for food supplies and production, the Exec. Order authorizes the Sec. of Agriculture to take the same steps with regard to "food resources."
Ditto for the Secretaries of Energy, Labor, Transportation; in fact, all cabinet and Homeland Security officials, are likewise authorized to act in
such fashion at their discretion.
Again, why now?
