‘What is Barack Obama preparing for?
What does Barack Obama actually expect to happen in November? Does he
believe that the upcoming election could actually spark rampant civil unrest
inside the
Right
now, the polls tell us that this is likely to be a very, very tight
election. If you doubt this, just check out the daily Gallup tracking poll.
As I
write this, Obama and Romney are tied at 46 percent.
In
2008, a wave of positive emotion helped Obama secure a solid victory on
election night where there was no doubt about the outcome.
But
this time there is not going to be the same wave of positive emotion behind
Obama, and that means that the election is likely to be much, much closer.
One
thing that set off alarm bells for me is when various news stories starting
discussing the "legion of lawyers" that Barack Obama was recruiting
for this election. The following is from a recent article in the Huffington Post....
President
Barack Obama's campaign has recruited a legion of lawyers to be on standby for
this year's election as legal disputes surrounding the voting process escalate.
Thousands of attorneys and support staffers have agreed to aid in the effort,
providing a mass of legal support that appears to be unrivaled by Republicans
or precedent.
Did
you catch that?
Obama's
"unprecedented" legion of lawyers is definitely getting prepared for
something.
In a
tightly contested race, would Obama use every legal angle that he possibly
could to take the election away from Mitt Romney?
Would
Mitt Romney potentially do the same to Obama?
How
would the rest of
Let
us hope that we never find out the answers to any of those questions.
But
fighting in court is not the only avenue that Barack Obama could potentially
use to keep his spot in the White House.
There
is also the possibility that Barack Obama could use his executive powers to
influence the outcome of the election.
This
year, Obama has issued a whole series of very strange executive
orders.
Many
have been wondering what the true purpose of these executive orders really is.
For
example, EO 13603 enables Barack Obama to take
total control over all food, all energy, all health resources and all
transportation resources with the stroke of a pen.
The
following is from an article about this executive order by Jim Garrison in the Huffington Post....
President
Obama's National Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order of March 16
does to the country as a whole what the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act
did to the Constitution in particular -- completely eviscerates any due process
or judicial oversight for any action by the Government deemed in the interest
of "national security." Like the NDAA, the new Executive Order puts
the government completely above the law, which, in a democracy, is never
supposed to happen.
Later
in that same article, he detailed some of the extraordinary powers that the
executive branch would be given if Barack Obama decided that "national
security" required it....
•
The Secretary of Defense has power over all water resources;
• The Secretary of Commerce has power over
all material services and facilities, including construction materials;
• The Secretary of Transportation has power
over all forms of civilian transportation;
• The Secretary of Agriculture has power
over food resources and facilities, livestock plant health resources, and the
domestic distribution of farm equipment;
• The Secretary of Health and Human
Services has power over all health resources;
• The Secretary of Energy has power over
all forms of energy.
According
to this executive order, a "national emergency" is not even required
to activate these powers. If Barack Obama decides that there is a threat
to "national security" (or to his job security) he could activate
these powers at any time.
Another
executive order, EO 13618, would potentially give Obama
power over all communication resources
in the United States.
So
does that mean that Obama could potentially pull the plug on the Internet
during a crisis?
That
is a very good question.
Overall,
Obama has issued 130 executive orders during
his time as president. The amount of power that he now claims to possess
is absolutely mind blowing.
So
will he ever actually attempt to use the powers that he has granted himself
under these executive orders?
Let's
hope not.
In
addition, it appears that the Department of Homeland Security is gearing up for
something.
An
article posted on RT the other day entitled "DHS gears
up for civil unrest prior to presidential elections" detailed some of
the purchases that the Department of Homeland Security is looking to make....
The
DHS submitted a rushed solicitation to the Federal Business Opportunities site
on Wednesday, which is a portal for Federal government procurement requisitions
over $25,000. The request gave the potential suppliers only one day to submit
their proposals and a 15-day delivery requirement to
As
the brief explains, “the objective of this effort is to procure riot gear to
prepare for the 2012 Democratic and Republican National Conventions, the 2013
Presidential Inauguration and other future similar activities.”
The
total amount ordered is about 150 sets of riot helmets, thigh and groin
protectors, hard-shell shin guards and other riot gear.
Specifically,
DHS is looking to obtain:
-
“147 riot helmets” with “adjustable tactical face shield with liquid seal”
-
“147 sets of upper body and shoulder protection”
-
“152 sets of thigh and groin protection”
-
“147 hard-shell shin guards” with “substantial protection from flying debris,
non-ballistic weapons, and blows to the leg” and “optimized protective design
for severe riot control or tactical situations.”
-
“156 forearm protectors”
-
“147 pairs of tactical gloves”
The
riot gear will be worn by Federal Protective Service agents who are tasked with
protecting property, grounds and buildings owned by the federal government.
You
can find the DHS solicitation right here.
Also,
as I have written
about previously, earlier this month FEMA posted a solicitation for a large
number of pre-packaged meals. According to the solicitation, the maximum
number of meals that would be provided to FEMA under the contract would be 17.5
million meals. The following is from the FEMA
solicitation document....
As
referred to in paragraph (b) of FAR Clause 52.216-22, “Indefinite Quantity” of
this contract, the guaranteed contract minimum is 21,000 packaged meals to include
the base and option periods. The contract ceiling amount shall not exceed
17,500,000 packaged
meals.
So do
those solicitations mean anything special or are they just part of normal
government operations?
That
is a good question.
But
what we do know is that
"During
the Democratic/Republican National Conventions, Department of Defense personnel
will support the
"For
operational security reasons we do not discuss the numbers of military
personnel and resources that are involved,"
Could
the same forces be deployed to quell civil unrest sparked by a controversial
election result in November?
Let
us hope that this upcoming election season is not as bitter and divisive as
many are projecting and let us hope that there is a clear winner in November.
The
conditions are definitely right for
At
this moment, Americans are incredibly frustrated. Our economy has been in
the dumps for quite a few years, and now it look like another recession is starting. The patience
of the American people is running out.
Over
much of the western
The
American people are so hot and so angry that it would not take much to set off
a raging political fire.
Let
us hope that cooler heads prevail, because a single spark could set this
country ablaze.
