Wow, by their own definition the federal government is a terrorist organization. If the current economic crisis and misappropriation of tax payer dollars doesn't "involve an act that is destructive of key resources and is... AHHHH, wait, I see their loophole. "In violation of criminal laws of the United States..." no mention of Constitutional law or Constitutional rights. OK then, all is well and our government is still okie-dokie!
Uh oh... This is not good at all. If the EO was signed while written with a reference to Paragraph 14 instead of Paragraph 15, then in the future they can legally allow any state and its National Guard to commit acts of terrorism as defined by Paragraph 14.
We might actually be screwed if this EO was actually signed with a reference to the definition of "terrorism". :|

It is the Biblical connotation of 10 that is worrying to me.

There are 10 governors most likely because there are 10 EPA regions, and also 10 FEMA regions.
Notice the following map:

Disambiguation is an art. I have not found the contradiction, but if it was a typo that abrogates the Constitution, it will be fixed as it would make the EO illegal, and null and void.
If you really think the President would sign an executive order that would declare the Fed, and the States, as Terrorists, and get away with it in face of all the opposition he faces, then explain to me how this would somehow strengthen the strangle hold you and others think he has on you?
If you are correct, we deserve it.

Oh my, sort of like finding a Mother Goose connotation!

There I agree if a typo is not fixed and a law is created, or applied due to a typo, then yes we are all screwed.
I just don't think it's the case.
If it means what people say here, then you are correct, and we are in agreement.

I don’t understand how “the term "State" has the same meaning” as “the term terrorism”??

I don't even buy into the whole 'oh no the government is reptilian and gonna kill us all and martial law and mind control' crap. I do have something that I think is considered common sense. I clicked this forum just to see what the EO said word for word (because EO's are powerful). On the surface this EO is a very good thing. Just look at these documents that they reference. Compare the relationships of the terms that they have defined in the EO. It can't be an accident. Why did they choose THOSE 2 documents to define their terms?? Why didn't they follow the pattern of those two very documents and define the terms WITHIN the original EO? Something isn't right.
2010 Executive Order
Homeland Security Act of 2002
Robert T. Stafford DisasterRelief and Emergency Assistance Act

I asked my Dad who's a lawyer. He said that you weren't looking at section 2 of paragraph 15.
"(ii) is a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State or other subdivision of the United States"
That's where it defines "state".. And not the definition of "terrorism".
Sorry, they didn't mess up
