From Sovereign Man:
Quietly, and with little fanfare, President Obama signed a “National Defense Resources Preparedness” Executive Order on Friday. As the name suggests, the order intends to shore up the country’s national defense resources in advance of a national emergency.

Scary to think about. Are we witnessing a slow motion Pearl Harbor? First, get the right person in the White House, Second, push the country into a deep malaise with high unemployment and higher costs. Banks find new power. Third, get all the banks together in a concerted effort to change the financial world and bring in the New World Order.
As a democrat fool once said, always take advantage of [...]
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks (read as Federal Reserve private banking cartel) to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.

But the notion that he’s “destroying the economy” doesn’t stand up to any real scrutiny. Â Especially from the wealthy, who have benefited HUGELY from the recovery in America’s stock markets.
For the record, I totally agree that the S&P 500 is only a partial measure of economic well being. Â Jobs, median wages, aggregate debt levels and overall GDP growth matter a lot, too, and [...]
Well over 700,000 are employed in Fla. because of Defense Spending, about 800,000 in Ca. and over 200,000 in just one city in Tx.
