From the January 2010 Idaho Observer:


Obama signs five new Executive Orders – they spell TREASON when connected

Compiled by The Idaho Observer

While many have recently discussed the latest of Obama’s EOs as proof that he is preparing for martial law, implementation of United Nations mandates, and the military take-over of the governance of all 50 states, it is important to read all five EOs together to get the full picture of what the federal government has planned for Amerika in the near future.

On December 16, 2009, Obama amended EO 12425 “Designating Interpol as a Public International Organization Entitled to Enjoy Certain Privileges, Exemptions, and Immunities” with Executive Order 13524 which states:

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 1 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288), and in order to extend the appropriate privileges, exemptions, and immunities to the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), it is hereby ordered that Executive Order 12425 of June 16, 1983, as amended, is further amended by deleting from the first sentence the words ‘‘except those provided by Section 2(c), Section 3, Section 4, Section 5, and Section 6 of that Act.’’ and the words ‘‘relating to customs duties and federal internal-revenue importation taxes".

The original text of EO 12425 signed by Ronald Reagan on June 16, 1983 reads:

By virtue of the authority vested in me… it is hereby ordered that the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), in which the United States participates pursuant to 22 U.S.C. 263a, is hereby designated as a public international organization entitled to enjoy the privileges, exemptions and immunities conferred by the International Organizations Immunities Act; except those provided by Section 2(c), the portions of Section 2(d) and Section 3 relating to customs duties and federal internal-revenue importation taxes, Section 4, Section 5, and Section 6 of that Act. This designation is not intended to abridge in any respect the privileges, exemptions or immunities which such organization may have acquired or may acquire by international agreement or by Congressional action.

Section 2c provides that “international organizations… shall be immune from search.” Section 3 allows their assets to be free of customs and Section 4, their income “from investments in the United States stocks, bonds, or other domestic securities” to be excluded from taxation. Section 5 allows their employees the same privileges. Section 6 excludes them from paying property tax. In 1995, President Clinton had already reversed the exception for Section 2d, related to customs duties and internal-revenue importation taxes.

As amended by President Obama, EO 12425 now reads as follows:

By virtue of the authority vested in me… it is hereby ordered that the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL… is hereby designated as a public international organization entitled to enjoy the privileges, exemptions and immunities conferred by the International Organizations Immunities Act. This designation is not intended to abridge in any respect the privileges, exemptions or immunities which such organization may have acquired or may acquire by international agreement or by Congressional action.

Policy Secrecy

On December 29, 2009, Obama issued two executive orders. The first one is entitled “Classified National Security Information”. This EO designates the following officials to originally classify information as “Top Secret” or “Secret”:

TOP SECRET - Executive Office of the President, the Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff, the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs (National Security Advisor), the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, the Director of National Drug Control Policy, The Director - Office of Science and Technology Policy, and the Chair or Co-Chairs of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board. TOP SECRET is also given to the following Departments and Agencies: The Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Defense, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Energy, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Director of National Intelligence, the Secretary of the Army, the Secretary of the Navy, the Secretary of the Air Force, the Chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Director of the Information Security Oversight Office.

SECRET - Executive Office of the President, the United States Trade Representative and the following Departments and Agencies - The Secretary of Agriculture, the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Secretary of Transportation, the Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development, and the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.

The rest of this EO says:
Any delegation of this authority shall be in accordance with section 1.3(c) of the Executive Order [i.e. president, vice president and agency heads], except that the Director of the Information Security Oversight Office, the Secretary of Agriculture, and the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency may not delegate the authority granted in this order. If an agency head without original classification authority under this order… has an exceptional need to classify information originated by their agency, the matter shall be referred to the agency head with appropriate subject matter interest and classification authority in accordance with section 1.3(e) of the Executive Order. Security Oversight Office.

Presidential designations ordered prior to the issuance of the Executive Order are revoked as of the date of this order [with the exception of those] made in accordance with the provisions of section 1.4 of Executive Order 12958 of April 17, 1995, as amended.

Original Classification Authority

Later that day, a 35-page EO was signed, defining how the “Top Secret”, “Secret” and “Confidential” information would be classified; who has access to the information; the duration of such classification; and how such information would be dealt with when it has been leaked to the public or there is a Freedom of Information Act request.

Following are a couple sections of interest [emphasis added]:

Sec. 5.1. Program Direction. (a) The Director of the Information Security Oversight Office, under the direction of the Archivist and in consultation with the National Security Advisor, shall issue such directives as are necessary to implement this order. These directives shall be binding on the agencies.

Sec. 6.2. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall supersede any requirement made by or under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, or the National Security Act of 1947, as amended. “Restricted Data” and “Formerly Restricted Data” shall be handled, protected, classified, downgraded, and declassified in conformity with the provisions of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954…

(b) The Director of National Intelligence may, with respect to the Intelligence Community and after consultation with the heads of affected departments and agencies, issue such policy directives and guidelines as [it] deems necessary to implement this order … for access to and dissemination of all intelligence and intelligence-related information, both in its final form and in the form when initially gathered. Procedures or other guidance issued by Intelligence Community element heads shall be in accordance with such policy directives or guidelines issued by the Director of National Intelligence…[which shall also] be in accordance with directives issued by the Director of the Information Security Oversight Office under section 5.1(a)...

(c) The Attorney General, upon request by the head of an agency or the Director of the Information Security Oversight Office, shall render an interpretation of this order with respect to any question arising in the course of its administration.

(d) Nothing in this order limits the protection afforded any information by other provisions of law, including the Constitution, Freedom of Information Act exemptions, the Privacy Act of 1974, and the National Security Act of 1947, as amended. This order is not intended to and does not create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law by a party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person. The foregoing is in addition to the specific provisos set forth in sections 1.1(b), 3.1(c) and 5.3(e) of this order.

Wikipedia.org defines the power of the Director of ISOO as such:

“The Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO) is responsible to the President for policy and oversight of the Government-wide security classification system and the National Industrial Security Program. The ISOO receives authority from:

* “Classified National Security Information”, a new Executive order released by the White House on December 29, 2009

* Executive Order 12829, as amended “National Industrial Security Program” “The ISOO is a component of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and receives policy and program guidance from the National Security Council (NSC). President Jimmy Carter established the ISOO with the signing of Executive Order 12065, “National Security Information,” on December 1, 1978. The ISOO replaced the Interagency Classification Review Committee (ICRC) which was created by Executive Order 11652, “Classification and Declassification of National Security Information and Material,” issued by President Richard Nixon in 1972. The ICRC was composed of representatives from the Departments of Defense, Justice and State, the predecessor to the United States Department of Energy, the Atomic Energy Commission, and the Central Intelligence Agency.”

Enforced Medical Countermeasures

The following day, on Dec. 30, 2009, Obama signed another EO – “Medical Countermeasures Following a Biological Attack.” This EO utilizes the U.S. Postal Service for the timely delivery of medical countermeasures in the event of a biological attack, specifying anthrax as the likely biological weapon. Following are excerpts from this EO:

Section 1. Policy. It is the policy of the United States to plan and prepare for the timely provision of medical countermeasures to the American people in the event of a biological attack in the United States through a rapid Federal response in coordination with State, local, territorial, and tribal governments.

This policy would seek to: (1) mitigate illness and prevent death; (2) sustain critical infrastructure; and (3) complement and supplement State, local, territorial, and tribal government medical countermeasure distribution capacity.

Sec. 2. United States Postal Service Delivery of Medical Countermeasures. (a) The U.S. Postal Service has the capacity for rapid residential delivery of medical countermeasures for self administration across all communities in the United States. The Federal Government shall pursue a national U.S. Postal Service medical countermeasures dispensing model to respond to a large-scale biological attack.

(b) The Secretaries of Health and Human Services and Homeland Security, in coordination with the U.S. Postal Service, within 180 days of the date of this order, shall establish a national U.S. Postal Service medical countermeasures dispensing model for U.S. cities to respond to a large-scale biological attack, with anthrax as the primary threat consideration.

(c) In support of the national U.S. Postal Service model, the Secretaries of Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, and Defense, and the Attorney General, in coordination with the U.S. Postal Service, and in consultation with State and local public health, emergency management, and law enforcement officials, within 180 days of the date of this order, shall develop an accompanying plan for supplementing local law enforcement personnel … with local Federal law enforcement, as well as other appropriate personnel, to escort U.S. Postal workers delivering medical countermeasures.

Usurpation of state government by federal troops and Obama-appointed governors

On January 11, 2010, Obama signed another EO: Establishment of the Council of Governors. This order sets up the framework for the use of federal troops and a combination of state and federal agencies under the direction of the Department of Defense. Quoting from the Whitehouse.gov press release, the purpose of the Council is to:

“… strengthen further the partnership between the Federal Government and State Governments to protect our Nation against all types of hazards. When appointed, the Council will be reviewing such matters as involving the National Guard of the various States; homeland defense; civil support; synchronization and integration of State and Federal military activities in the United States; and other matters of mutual interest pertaining to National Guard, homeland defense, and civil support activities.

“The bipartisan Council will be composed of ten State Governors who will be selected by the President to serve two-year terms. In selecting the Governors to the Council, the White House will solicit input from Governors and Governors’ associations. Once chosen, the Council will have no more than five members from the same party and represent the Nation as a whole.

“Federal members of the Council include the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, the Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental Affairs and Public Engagement, the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Americas’ Security Affairs, the U.S. Northern Command Commander, the Commandant of the Coast Guard, and the Chief of the National Guard Bureau. The Secretary of Defense will designate an Executive Director for the Council...

“The formation of the Council of Governors was required by the Fiscal Year 2008 National Defense Authorization Act which states, “The President shall establish a bipartisan Council of Governors to advise the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the White House Homeland Security Council on matters related to the National Guard and civil support missions.” (NDAA FY2008, Sec. 1822)

The last four EOs, unlike EOs of the past, have no 5-digit EO number. Executive Orders, unconstitutional from the outset, have morphed into simple dictatorial declarations under Obama. To read them in their entirety, go to:
