Obama Gives Himself Control of all Communication Systems in America


www.whitehouse.gov

Section 1. Policy. The Federal Government must have the ability to communicate at all times and under all circumstances to carry out its most critical and time sensitive missions. Survivable, resilient, enduring, and effective communications, both domestic and international, are essential to enable the executive branch to communicate within itself and with: the legislative and judicial branches; State, local, territorial, and tribal governments; private sector entities; and the public, allies, and other nations. Such communications must be possible under all circumstances to ensure national se

Well on Friday Obama signed this little executive order with little press, I wonder why.....perhaps this is yet another far reaching executive order, yet another power grab by this administration.

Obama states that the government needs to power to reach anyone, anytime during a "crisis" and that


“Such communications must be possible under all circumstances to ensure national security, effectively manage emergencies and improve national resilience.” Later the president explains that such could be done by establishing a “joint industry-Government center that is capable of assisting in the initiation, coordination, restoration and reconstitution of NS/EP [national security and emergency preparedness] communications services or facilities under all conditions of emerging threats, crisis or emergency.”

“The views of all levels of government, the private and nonprofit sectors, and the public must inform the development of NS/EP communications policies, programs and capabilities,”.....infrastructure includes wireline, wireless, satellite, cable, and broadcasting, and provides the transport networks that support the Internet and other key information systems,”


Well isn't that nice, so the US administration controls all aspects of communication, including the internet. Section 5 describes that a new Executive Committee will be created with the task of implementing this order.

The tyranny of the administration is increasing.....

Wow, from reading it, some of the information is amended from years ago. However, a few years back, the law enforcement, fire and emergency frequencies went from analog to 800 megahertz digital, and to program a scanner, you need a computer, tried to do one manually, it took 2 hours, and didn't work.

From my understanding, they did that to free up analog frequencies. Like t.v. went from analog to digital.

Why all of a sudden?

And to be able to take over all frequencies? Why is my question. I'm pretty sure the government has ways of communicating without this Executive order. Kinda makes me wonder what is coming down the pike?!?!

The way the media fawns all over him, I assumed that he always had control.


This is just another in a long list of power grabs and centralizing control from this administration.

It's insulting in that he actually thinks we need to be governed this way.

Huh, I must have misread the date on the "whitehouse" website. That is my error, but the information was from here:

www.whitehouse.gov...

So please tell me where it is a HOAX.


But I can see where this "beforeitsnews" is going to be used by the left to censor topics.....Oh lookie, this information was posted in beforeitsnews, lets get it taken down.

So you can hit that alert button of course.

Perhaps you could take the time to explain to everyone the differences in the order. I see cause for at least attention to this, given the state of affairs under this administration.

I'm just suggesting people look past the title and do some research. This site is turning into just another slum-site with all the crazy theories taken for FACT.

There's a good thread about this EO here:

www.abovetopsecret.com...

I'm just saying do some research.

I am asking for this thread to be deleted, because it was put in the hoax bin.....but what I stated was true, it is not a hoax.

Oh and your "good research" simply portrays this executive order in a positive light. I happen to disagree.

I've not seen that. ATS suites the interests of a lot of folks all over the globe. Your alert sent this thread into the HOAX bin before anyone had a chance to do research. This may be new news to some. Nothing like killing the opportunity for debate on the forth post of a thread.

I would rather not see your thread deleted, way too much thread killing going on around here. This is worth a discussion.

And with the unconstitutional broad powers that Obama exercises these days I think a re-examination of this needs to be done.

And I'm not Obama bashing, I spent much time campaigning for him in 2008. Using executive orders for nefarious reasons is not too rare an occurrence in the past decade.

This is a subject that I should have been paying attention to. I am now.

The current political atmosphere (police state) we live with would certainly cause alarm with this executive order.




The US governmental agencies involved in this endeavor are the heads of: • Department of Justice • Department of Defense • Department of State • Department of Commerce • Department of Homeland Security (DHS) • Office of the director of National Intelligence (DNI) • General Services Administration • Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

I'm not jumping to any conclusions here. How many of us actually trust the folks that the administration has trusted with our communications?
