This is not a drill: White House declares national emergency to confiscate property

Americans are now seeing just how Executive Orders ignoring due process and the Bill of Rights will take effect and be enforced. The man who occupies the Oval Office on May 16  declared a national emergency and has authorized the Treasury Secretary to confiscate property “within the possession or control of any United States person” who may be critical of Yemen’s government. “Blocking Property of Persons Threatening the Peace, Security, or Stability of Yemen” authorizes the government to confiscate the property of American citizens or otherwise who the White House considers a threat to the Muslim Brotherhood and al Qaeda backed government of Yemen.

If you are publicly in dissent about the White House assisting in overthrowing Yemen’s government, you could be considered a national security threat and your property will be taken, your assets frozen. The president wrote in this EO “the actions and policies of certain members of the Government of Yemen and others threaten Yemen’s peace, security, and stability...I further find that these actions constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat.” He ordered “all property and interests in property” are blocked of people who may be assisting opposition to Yemen’s government.

If you are in active political opposition to Yemen’s White House-backed government or are donating “funds, goods, services” to anyone helping Yemen’s opposition, your property can be taken without due process. The chilling definition in this EO is this: Sec. 7. (c) “the term "United States person" means any United States citizen, permanent resident alien, entity organized under the laws of the United States or any jurisdiction within the United States (including foreign branches), or any person in the United States.” Further, he uses the “state of emergency” to suspend the rights of persons who “might have a constitutional presence in the United States. This is the second such EO with this definition in 23 days.

The president is testing his executive authority in suspending the Bill of Rights and Constitutional guarantees. If no one moves to stop him, a legal precedent will be established that can be used in any so-called “declared emergency.” Furthermore, the president is using the full weight of the US government to establish a Muslim Brotherhood jihadist government in Yemen. The Muslim Brotherhood has vowed to create a “Civilization Jihad” in America to destroy its “miserable house.”  Proverbs 28:15 says, “As a roaring lion, and a raging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.” In America, at least for now, we have the right to choose our leaders. We had better choose wisely.

Have A Blessed And Powerful Day,
