CNS News Eleven years later, President Obama has quietly extended the national emergency declaration first issued by former President George W. Bush after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York City and the Pentagon.
The declaration, which has to be reissued each year, invokes several war-time powers that give the president greater control of the military. Obama cited the continuing threat of a terrorist attack in justifying his decision to continue the now 11-year national emergency.
“The terrorist threat that led to the declaration on September 14, 2001, of a national emergency continues. For this reason, I have determined that it is necessary to continue in effect after September 14, 2012, the national emergency with respect to the terrorist threat,” Obama said September 11.
Despite the winding-down of the war in Afghanistan – originally launched in 2001 in retaliation for the 9/11 attacks – Obama has again granted himself special war-time powers by declaring that a national emergency still exists because of the attacks of 11 years ago.
Under federal law, a national emergency declaration lasts for only one year, meaning that the 9/11 national emergency has now been re-declared 10 times.
The powers re-invoked by President Obama all relate to the military and include the ability to suspend retirements and separations of military personnel, recall the Ready Reserve, activate recently-retired Coast Guard officers and personnel, and prohibit or regulate financial transactions with foreign entities involved in terrorism.
““The terrorist threat that led to the declaration on September 14, 2001, of a national emergency continues. For this reason, I have determined that it is necessary to continue in effect after September 14, 2012, the national emergency with respect to the terrorist threat,” Obama said September 11.”
HAHAAHAAHA!!! “I” have determined. “I”. Hey Barry, no one ever taught you that there is no “I” in the word “team”? Who the F**K died and made you king on how to decide how WE THE PEOPLE live our lives?
Hey Barry, “I” have determined you’re an asshole and should be buried 6 feet under along with the rest of your Zionist masters and you can bury your fake Noble Peace Prize with you. How about that?
“Despite the winding-down of the war in Afghanistan – originally launched in 2001 in retaliation for the 9/11 attacks – Obama has again granted himself special war-time powers by declaring that a national emergency still exists because of the attacks of 11 years ago.”
Still exists? What national emergency still exists? When’s the last time there was a terrorist on our land? NEVER!
“Under federal law, a national emergency declaration lasts for only one year, meaning that the 9/11 national emergency has now been re-declared 10 times.”
HAHAAHA….Wow. I’m sorry but I have to laugh at the fact that our politicians or dictators in chief have actually re-declared this national emergency 10 times already after 9/11. Definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Why any sheeple still believe we have an inkling of a government is beyond me.
NC,
The puppet obama (a.k.a soetoro) made this declaration. Do you think “mittens”, if he were potus, would do something else? Ragdoll puppets are the only players allowed in the spotlight. We have a tough row to hoe; if we are to reestablish any vision of a free republic.
Be well, all, Rob
NC , to your question about the last time a terrorist was on our land . Washing ton D.C.is swarming with them . I realize that was just an oversight on your part .
This was done quietly, because NOW, it gives an excuse to suspend all elections until the terrorist threat is over, and state’s of emergencies are no longer needed..by a simple Executive Order…he doesn’t need to declare Martial Law, because THAT is already in place, and implemented. Yes..IMPLEMENTED…it’s just not entirely on the surface yet to the poor sheep. Everything has been done ‘quietly’…so as not to wake the sleeping. For the most part, it has worked for them.
But the awakened see right through the BS..
I am not ‘prepped’ the way I should be for the coming times, so I don’t expect to make it through all this…but I am NOT going to lie down when it comes to it!
I take things like this as a direct threat to my family.
~Blessed Be to all~
” it gives an excuse to suspend all elections until the terrorist threat is over”
Does that crippled dog still hunt?
Does one actually still scare one with that one?
(S)elections or no (S)elections, it is not that Americans have any political power or say in International Politics.
6. Political freedom is an idea but not a fact. This idea one must know how to apply whenever it appears necessary with this bait of an idea to attract the masses of the people to one’s party for the purpose of crushing another who is in authority. This task is rendered easier if the opponent has himself been infected with the idea of freedom, SO-CALLED LIBERALISM, and, for the sake of an idea, is willing to yield some of his power. It is precisely here that the triumph of our theory appears; the slackened reins of government are immediately, by the law of life, caught up and gathered together by a new hand, because the blind might of the nation cannot for one single day exist without guidance, and the new authority merely fits into the place of the old already weakened by liberalism.
11. The political has nothing in common with the moral. The ruler who is governed by the moral is not a skilled politician, and is therefore unstable on his throne. He who wishes to rule must have recourse both to cunning and to make-believe. Great national qualities, like frankness and honesty, are vices in politics, for they bring down rulers from their thrones more effectively and more certainly than the most powerful enemy. Such qualities must be the attributes of the kingdoms of the GOYIM, but we must in no wise be guided by them.
And most important:
2. The administrators, whom we shall choose from among the public, with strict regard to their capacities for servile obedience, will not be persons trained in the arts of government, and will therefore easily become pawns in our game in the hands of men of learning and genius who will be their advisers, specialists bred and reared from early childhood to rule the affairs of the whole world. As is well known to you, these specialists of ours have been drawing to fit them for rule the information they need from our political plans from the lessons of history, from observations made of the events of every moment as it passes. The GOYIM are not guided by practical use of unprejudiced historical observation, but by theoretical routine without any critical regard for consequent results. We need not, therefore, take any account of them – let them amuse themselves until the hour strikes, or live on hopes of new forms of enterprising pastime, or on the memories of all they have enjoyed. For them let that play the principal part which we have persuaded them to accept as the dictates of science (theory). It is with this object in view that we are constantly, by means of our press, arousing a blind confidence in these theories. The intellectuals of the GOYIM will puff themselves up with their knowledges and without any logical verification of them will put into effect all the information available from science, which our AGENTUR specialists have cunningly pieced together for the purpose of educating their minds in the direction we want.
