This
is a fictional story showing how the last vestiges of the republic,
your personal wealth and gold could disappear in 24 hours.

“The
illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to
continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too
expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they
will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs
out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the
theater.” ~ Frank Zappa

Several weeks
ago, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced Obama’s
sudden executive order favoring illegal aliens. This was just one
of many presidential executive orders and actually not a big deal
but this tool will likely be the legal mechanism used to financially
lock down America similar to the way a warden limits privileges
and movement in a prison complex. Executive orders, unless they
are challenged, can allow a president to rule by decree. This is
basically what our once great republic has been reduced to.

Presidential
Executive Orders Are the Greatest Threat To Our Nation

Many presidents
have used the power of presidential executive orders but among the
most harmful were Franklin Roosevelt’s Executive Order 6102 signed
on April 5, 1933 that authorized the confiscation of private gold
and Executive Order 9066 imprisoning 110,000 Japanese Americans
in “War Relocation Camps.” Lincoln also issued countless
executive orders authorizing arrest and imprisonment of opposition
newspaper reporters and editors as well as suspending the writ of
habeas corpus widely across the Union. Of course, you will not read
much about this in the history books.

How A Financial
Lockdown Could Happen

This is a fictional
story written to illustrate how an executive order could be crafted
in a real or contrived false-flag crisis in order to impose a total
financial lockdown against productive America that could confiscate
nearly 100% of your wealth and destroy any remaining liberties.

This would
be an American version of the Reichstag fire event that allowed
Hitler and the Nazis to rule Germany by emergency decree. The spark
could be a European bank run, sovereign debt collapse or capital
controls contagion crossing the Atlantic and reaching the already
bankrupt United States. It could be a real military or oil crisis
in the Middle East, terrorist attack, Israeli military attack or
contrived false flag operation designed to provide the justification
for a presidential executive order that could take the rest of your
net worth over the course of a single night.

The few remnants
of the original republic of our Founding Fathers along with our
remaining wealth and liberties could easily be destroyed over 24
hours by a pre-planned presidential executive order during a future
real or contrived crisis.

The Threat
is the Same Under A GOP or Democrat President

Presidential
elections today are meaningless reminders of an earlier time when
it mattered which party or presidential candidate won an election.
It could happen just as easily under Romney as Obama. Both are intelligent,
family oriented individuals that make the best front men, crafted
to put a human face in front of a mercantilist/fascist system of
government controlled by a power elite that has ruled over the US
since at least 1913.

Will an
Executive Order Like This Actually Take Place?

It could happen.
I’ve tried to show how this kind of crisis could be manufactured
or promoted to create the public justification and support for these
broad actions, although I believe the financial actions alone may
be all that is really necessary. After all, a full-blown police
state really isn’t a good way to run a country and would be counter
productive when all they really want are your assets.

My goal is
to explore the possible political, financial and economic consequences
of the next crisis or attack and prepare a worst-case scenario Presidential
Executive Order response. Remember, all governments with a couple
of exceptions are already bankrupt thanks to the sovereign debt
conspiracy.

The actual
solution is sovereign debt repudiation but this would threaten the
major banks, their central banking accomplices and their political
partners-in-crime. Therefore, “austerity” is a pleasant
term to frame dramatic tax increases and cuts in government services
and programs and this is the near-term solution combined with unimaginable
money creation by the central banks.

However, the
time is coming soon when the fiat money creation must stop or else
the world will erupt into severe hyperinflation again threatening
those institutions and political structures that created the economic
downturn “depression” now ravaging and destroying the
world economy. They now require a dramatic excuse, an emergency
so frightening as to motivate Americans into voluntarily giving
up their wealth and remaining freedoms to maintain the system a
little longer while the financial and political elites search for
a way out to escape blame and the consequences of their actions.

I fear their
solution will become known in a future history, assuming eventually
liberty forces prevail, as “The Final Presidential Executive
Order.” On the other hand, should the tyranny prevail, none
of this will make it into the history books.

The Final
Presidential Executive Order

Recently we
have been reading about how Spain is basically outlawing cash and
the nation of Hungary forced private retirement funds into a government
plan. Domestically we read how drones will be patrolling American
skies, continued TSA outrages, proposed Internet controls, passports
being confiscated for back taxes, the government war against gold,
threats of public protests and the death of personal and financial
privacy.

The march toward
a police state controls at home continues but the American people
need to be warned how this may not continue as a step-by-step process.
A real or contrived crisis could create an overnight clampdown by
Presidential Executive Order rendering all countermeasures by US
citizens too late to protect their wealth, liberties, investment
liquidity or gold investments dead in the water.

I suggest a
real or contrived financial, military or terrorism emergency could
quickly turn the United States into a presidential dictatorship
overnight with little opportunity for recourse by private citizens
or Congress. This is an extreme example of what could happen should
the need arise. American citizens would quickly become wards and
serfs of the federal government without recourse to protect their
property, wealth or right to practice their religion, school their
children or travel outside the country.

Read this short
story and see how easy it would be for a presidential executive
order to immediately wipe away all pretexts of civil liberties,
financial security, property rights, the Bill of Rights and Constitutional
protections all in the name of protecting the nation.

Frankly, I
believe most presidential executive order conspiracy theories prior
to 9/11 were mostly doomsday mongering and scare tactics by writers,
editors and others marketing to Americans who were more fearful
of big government than any real threat. But like everything else
in the United States today, these formerly inflated concerns are
now real threats to your liberty and wealth. With the power of Executive
Orders, the president can basically rule the nation by executive
decree in times of severe emergency – defined by the executive
branch alone – with the full force of law.

These actions
are difficult to prohibit legally because the powers of a president
are quite broadly defined by the Constitution. According to our
reading of the Constitution, it does not define or limit the power
of the president to rule by executive order, except in the larger
context of the Constitution in general.

The Terror
Attack Scenario: September 11, 2014

At noon during
a normal lunch hour, a number of relatively small conventional explosive
blasts hit major metropolitan areas in the United States. In New
York City, a large truck bomb went off across the street from the
New York Stock Exchange, causing extensive damage to the floor of
the NYSE, as well as computer and communications equipment. A telephone
call prior to the blast announced solidarity with the original anarchist
attack against the very same building back on September 16, 1920.
The news was filled with experts blaming Iranian terrorists and
modern-day anti-Washington anarcho-capitalist elements who hated
the American government.

The Wall Street
subway station was also bombed, resulting in a number of casualties.
In Salt Lake City a briefcase filled with explosives was left in
a skyscraper elevator housing the Goldman Sachs offices and detonated
when the building was full of office workers preparing to go out
for lunch. Although the death toll was minimal, this resulted in
an outpouring of condolences and support for the firm and a visit
from the President a couple of days later to show solidarity with
the firm and its capitalistic activities.

Suburban malls
in Minneapolis and San Francisco, as well as a casino in Las Vegas
were also damaged by small bombs, leaving almost 100 people dead
and wounded. Finally, a small explosion from within a safe deposit
box in the vault of the Bank of America building in Charlotte went
off. Although no one was injured in this instance, other deposit
boxes and their private contents were consumed in the small explosion.
Moreover, additional small bombs went off in safe deposit boxes
in two other banks, in Atlanta and Seattle, creating a sense of
panic and disarray for bank customers wondering if their bank would
be next.

A broad sense
of public terror was increasing by the minute, making the situation
and financial costs much worse. The American stock and bond markets
were closed as investors remembered what happened after the earlier
9/11 terrorist attacks. Subways, planes and high-rise building elevators
were almost empty as the public feared additional attacks. Malls
and shopping centers, casinos, banks and major hotels were strangely
quiet as people stayed away. The American economy was shutting down
and grinding to a halt.

By 6:00 PM,
just in time for the 6:30 nightly new programs, Janet Napol, Secretary
of the Homeland Security Agency together with President Barry O’Romney
held a joint news conference announcing 30 suspects were already
in custody. Most were young radical Islamists who had recently graduated
from Madrasah style Islamic schools in the targeted cities and several
were home schooled. There also appeared to be direct financial links
between some domestic rightwing extremists, the terrorists, Hezbollah
and, of course, Iran.

The President
reported that a tip from Israeli intelligence had allowed the government
to react quickly and forestall a planned second wave of attacks.
He thanked them for their efforts. More news emerged as files found
on the personal computers of the deceased and detained alleged terrorists
clearly showed that the suspects had financed their operation with
funds wired from outside the country and through large amounts of
cash currency secretly kept in bank safe deposit boxes.

The President
then appealed to the public for their support and highlighted the
need for them to stay calm during the emergency. He announced that
effective noon EST the next day, September 12, 2014, a Presidential
Executive Order would be released in response to the attack that
would safeguard the American public and protect our nation from
another attack such as this. He affirmed that this kind of unwarranted
attack against innocent civilians and our financial interests would
never happen again. He insisted that all the perpetrators, both
domestic and foreign, as well as any conspiring organizations or
governments would be swiftly brought to justice.

Finally, he
placed the US armed forces on high alert and ordered a carrier task
force, which happened to be standing by off the coast of Iran near
the Straits of Hormuz, to prepare for action. In addition, he called
for unity among the American people and warned politicians and all
facets of the media about their duty to understand that America
was now in a state of war with the terrorists.

Any and all
anti-American activities and other actions that might divide the
American people, deny the seriousness of or question the coming
emergency actions, especially the following day’s Presidential Executive
Order, would be prohibited for the duration of the terrorism emergency.
One reporter from an alternative Internet news site sitting in the
audience loudly questioned whether the President would ask Congress
to issue a Declaration of War. She was immediately escorted from
the press conference by the Secret Service with most of the press
core booing her suggestion.

“The
two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us
tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second
will not become the legalized version of the first.” ~ Thomas Jefferson

this emergency Presidential Executive Order will cover all Americans
equally without regard to religious, ethnic, racial or political
views and beliefs. To this end, we immediately implement the following
temporary emergency actions, federal legislation, regulations and
requirements to become effective at 12:00 Noon, tomorrow, on September
13, 2014.

(Seizure
Immediate Taxation of All Private Safe Deposit Box Contents)

(b) The Safe
Banking Accountability Act – Every bank, including its personnel
and customers, are threatened by the risk of future safe deposit
box bombs. Therefore, all bank and private safe deposit boxes are
hereby sealed and closed for 90 days or longer until a complete
inventory of every box in the nation is completed by approved bank
personnel and appropriate government agencies, to include but not
limited to the Internal Revenue Service, the FBI and Homeland Security.
All the contents are to be reviewed and an inventory prepared for
the box owner of record and such approved bank or government personnel
as the Department of Homeland Security deems as appropriate.

After the inventory
is completed, all private records and legal documents may be retained
and stored in the box, but the box holder may only utilize the same
box in the future in conjunction with monitoring of contents by
approved bank personnel. At the time of inventory, all currency,
gold, precious metals or collectibles exceeding $1,000 in fair market
value will become the temporary property of the US Treasury until
such time as the box holder shall provide records and cost basis
of the purchase. The difference between cost and fair-market value
will be immediately declared as income and taxed accordingly. Failure
to show adequate records will also result in the immediate taxation
and requirement of payment of income taxes on the deemed fair market
value with a cost basis of zero.

(Full Disclosure
Taxation of All Private Gold Cash Hoarding Outlawed)

(c) The Gold
and Currency Protection Act – In order to protect the American
public from future terrorism incidents by limiting the potential
terrorist ability to fund unlawful activities, the Gold and Currency
Protection Act will prohibit the future ownership of gold, silver
and currency in amounts exceeding $1,000 without the filing and
completion of new Treasury Disclosure Forms. Effective immediately,
all cash transactions in the United States exceeding $500 are prohibited
and punishable by fines and jail time not to exceed $25,000 and
five (5) years.

(Immediate
Call-in of Existing Dollar Currency Replacement With New Legal

(d) The Terrorism
Emergency Safe Currency and Debit Card Initiative – All existing
United States currency now circulating in the United States and
around the world will be withdrawn from circulation as legal tender
within five (5) business days and replaced with a new currency with
superior counterfeiting safeguards. All private holdings of cash
are to be surrendered and exchanged at your local bank for a “Terrorism
Emergency Debit Card” within the next five (5) business days.

Detailed records,
receipts and a paper trail must accompany all transactions exceeding
$1,000 to the source of funds. Any old currency held after the five
(5) day period will not be redeemed and will not be considered legal
tender by the United States. No currency deposits or withdrawals
will be allowed in existing bank accounts exceeding $1,000 for the
duration of the terrorism emergency.

Following the
end of the emergency every American will be required to pay for
all future financial transactions over $100 with their debit, credit
or Terrorism Emergency Debit Card. Cash hoarding or structuring
in order to avoid any cash limits will be punished to the fullest
extent of the law.

(Immediate

Borders Tax Liability Act – No American citizen or green
card holder owing taxes to any federal, state or municipal authority
or property taxes in excess of $1,000 shall be allowed the privilege

requires full compliance and for this reason all tax records are
required to be available and accessed by border control agents and/or
the TSA at the border as well as all other forms of public transportation
as well as at all periodic traffic checks.

If a tax liability
is discovered passports as well as drivers licenses and other forms
of ID shall be confiscated until such time as the taxes plus enforcement
penalties not to exceed $10,000 per incidence shall be paid. All
payments must be by debit or credit card and no cash payments will

(g) The Financial
Services Defense Act – All American investment markets, mutual
funds, annuities etc. are frozen for the duration of the stock market
closure due to the damage experienced by the terrorist attack on
the New York Stock Exchange. This is a temporary closure but all
commercial banks will remain open during the emergency in order
to fulfill the safe deposit box and exchange of currency requirement
mandated by this Presidential Executive Order. All future bank withdrawals,
deposits and debit and credit card purchases will be monitored and
evaluated by the US Treasury for the protection of the citizens
of the United States.

(All Funds
Transfers For Private Individuals Out Of or Into the US Prohibited

(Total Washington
Control Monitoring of All Private Schools End To Homeschooling)

(k) The Private
School Protection Act – All private schools (including Christian
schools) are hereby required to register their curriculum and materials
with the Department of Homeland Security. Further, all classes and
schools are subject to monitoring and review by the Department and
subject to unannounced visits at any time in order to stop the spread
of Islamic propaganda and the radicalizing of the American Moslem
population. The registration and review will be equally applied
on all public and private schools at the high school and college
level.

(l) The Homeschool
Reorganization Act – All homeschooling is hereby prohibited,
effective September 12, 2014, for the duration of this emergency.

Homeland Protection, Illegal Immigration and Transaction Defense
Act – Effective immediately all citizens of the United States,
18 years old or older, are required to register to vote in their

at the entrance to every place of business, meeting event and at
such shopping areas and other citizen protection spot checks as
the Department of Homeland Defense deems appropriate for the protection
of the citizens of the United States. No financial transactions,
purchases or sales will be allowed without a valid “Lawful
Citizen Transaction Card” in order to monitor immigration and
the terrorist threat to the United States.

To further
protect our nation, starting in 60 days the public will be allowed
to voluntarily request a safe and secure microchip placement in
the forehead in lieu of the card, which can then be monitored at
each required location by new equipment that will scan each citizen
at point of purchase. These chips will include important blood type
and vital statistics information and will allow law enforcement
to track at will the location of every lawful citizen in the United
States in order to protect this nation. This action will curtail
illegal immigration and discourage illegals and potential terrorists
from being able to transact business in the United States.

(Religious
Freedom Curtailed For the Duration of the Emergency)

(n) The Religious
Tolerance Defense Act – All religious symbols, clothing,
jewelry etc. as well as the dissemination of religious tracts and

By the authority
vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States of America, and in order to strengthen the efforts
of the Department of Homeland Security and all Federal, State and
local agencies to help defend our nation it is hereby ordered as
follows:

(o) This order
shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject
to the availability of appropriations.

THE WHITE
HOUSE,
September
13, 2014

Epilogue

And so on 9/13/2014,
in a burst of patriotism and outrage at the death and carnage from
the attack, the Senate voted 100 to 1 and Congress voted 434 to
3 in favor in a non-binding endorsement of the Presidential Executive
Order. The people cheered and waved American flags, the opposition
fell silent and our young men and women waited for the day when
their Registration Acknowledgments were replaced with the draft
cards and notices for the ongoing war in the Middle East.

Rand Paul,
the lone dissenting Senator from Kentucky, and three Congressmen,
the new representative Tom Davis from South Carolina, Lee in Utah
and one other patriot, packed up their desks, resigned from the
Congress and went home to their home states where they were, of
course, barred from writing and commenting publicly by the Board
Executive Action Stopping Terrorism Act (BEAST).

Accordingly,
a long night of darkness fell over this former Republic and our
remaining liberties. The Board of Executive Action Stopping Terrorism,
which became known by its initials, BEAST, was enforced for the
duration of the terrorist emergency which lasted for a number of
years until the terrorism emergency and the BEAST were declared
unconstitutional and The Final Presidential Executive Order 16-666
was cancelled.

This extreme
scenario is meant to illustrate what could happen here in the United
States. Still, the PC prohibitions on ethnic profiling could result
in these types of government actions in the event of a real or contrived
Islamic extremist terrorist attack on the United States. Unlike
9/11/01, there is nothing high tech about any of this. Although
we use a combination name of Obama and Romney in the example simply
because we don’t know who will be President at the time should this
work of fiction happen, I foresee few real differences in the foreign
or domestic policy of either party.

May the Final
Presidential Executive Order never take place and may the American
people restore their control over an out-of-control government.
I fear the alternative of an Executive Order creating a financial
lockdown over all of us that will continue until our private wealth
is confiscated.

Quoting George
Washington, “Government is not reason, it is not eloquence,
it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master.
Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.”
