Council of Governors - Predicting a Constitutional Crisis?

In regards to the previous post - I find it extremely peculiar that no major news media outlet has picked up the story of the Council of Governors, the reason behind the grossly authoritarian dictum, and the implications it has on the country as a Constitutional Republic.

No questions are being asked, and no answers are being demanded.

A President is not going to make an Executive Order that has no purpose - so WHY are not even FOXNEWS asking WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE?

In reading other blog posts and the chat boards full of comments, many are suggesting that this is in line with the federal prediction of a constitutional crisis regarding the complete collapse of the dollar or the upcoming Massachusetts US Senate election coming up on next Tuesday, where it looks as if a Republican is going to win Ted Kennedy's seat (and the Senate may delay swearing him in until after the temporary replacement votes YEA on Healthcare).

IF the country ends up in a constitutional crisis, there are specific segments of the Exec Order that are more important - such as the State National Guard Troops (the organized state militias) now being under the authority of the President instead of the Governor of the states... like a private military run by the Council and NOT the Senate (who has constitutional authority over the federal army). Such a private army can be used, such as in China during the Tienanmen Square incident, where New York Guards may be called to deploy to deal with civil unrest in Texas or Alaska, where Texan or Alaskan Guard Troops may refuse to fight their neighbors...

The implications of such a consolidation of power mean only ONE thing, that the President is ready for some strategic maneuvers against the free citizens of the states.

Prove me wrong - leave me a comment with your predictions.

"Council of Governors" Executive Order Signed - Obama's Consolidation of Power

The Internet is buzzing about the latest Executive Order signed yesterday by Obama. The link before you will take you directly to the White House webpage where you will find, attached, the text written with the blood of Americans - metaphorically, of course.

This moment is the beginning of the end game, the coiling of the Leviathan around the throats of free men, free states, and free thoughts. It is a moment, as one commenter at MAinfo's website put it, that was destined to occur since the fateful April afternoon in 1865 at the Appomattox Court House.

What we lay witness to on THIS day is the end of the Constitutional Republic, and the beginning of something sinister.

Please read below - the text will just make you sick...

END TEXT

Now... this order, appears to be the first step in dissolution of the Houses of Congress, the consolidation of all Executive Power of the federation AND of the states into one executive, placing all military authority of the militia (National Guard) into the control of the Executive, where it was traditionally under the authority of the Governor.

The 'synchronization' of state militias into a federal authority is nothing short of seizing control of the state's ability to defend itself against a federal invasion in the case of nullification of the constitution, AND consolidates the power of this new force into the office of the Executive.

Why, as a free man, do I feel the cross hairs burning at my back? Is it because we have just witnessed, with the swoop of a pen, the executive nullification of the sovereignty of the states - the complete and final nail in the coffin for the constitutional division of power between states and the federal government - and namely the PEOPLE's right of self determination?

Friends - this is the hour... in this hour we begin to sort ourselves - separating our numbers from theirs. The charge is not far off now, and when it comes, summon the spirit of our Creator, and know that you have been chosen in THIS time... YOU have been chosen to bear witness to the last great struggle for liberty... YOU have been chosen to bear the burden for all mankind... to STAND and be counted as MAN AMONGST MEN... the Children of liberty who are being called to task to defend what was so nobly handed to them by those who have come before.

"In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage..."

Franklin stated: A Republic, if you can keep it...
Jefferson stated: Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms (of government) those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny
Howard Zin stated: Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.
Patrick Henry stated: Give me LIBERTY or give me DEATH

I stand so sorted, and counted, as to be among the few. Be it 3% or 30% - I will stand by Liberty, or I shall Die defending it!
