BUSH 8/2/07: "I Hereby Declare A National Emergency" (New Executive Order)

edit to add: I may be playing a little with sarcasm, but my eyes are open to their every move. I will not close my eyes until they are all brought to justice. Most of all, I do not trust them-WHAT THEY DO TODAY - POINTS TO WHAT THEY WILL TRY TO DO TOMORROW - MHO - kpete

The president has declared 8/2/07, national emergency. By doing this, isn’t he automatically putting Directive 51 http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/05/20070509-12.html and the other EO’s into effect????

Executive Order: Blocking Property of Persons Undermining the Sovereignty of Lebanon or Its Democratic Processes and Institutions

White House News

Message to the Congress of the United States

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.)(IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.)(NEA), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code,

I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, determine that the actions of certain persons to undermine Lebanon's legitimate and democratically elected government or democratic institutions, to contribute to the deliberate breakdown in the rule of law in Lebanon, including through politically motivated violence and intimidation, to reassert Syrian control or contribute to Syrian interference in Lebanon, or to infringe upon or undermine Lebanese sovereignty contribute to political and economic instability in that country and the region and 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.

..................

“Sec. 4. For those persons whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order who might have a constitutional presence in the United States, I find that, because of the ability to transfer funds or other assets instantaneously, prior notice to such persons of measures to be taken pursuant to this order would render these measures ineffectual. I therefore determine that, for these measures to be effective in addressing the national emergency declared in this order, there need be no prior notice of a listing or determination made pursuant to section 1 of this order.”

1. No. But thanks for your hysteria.

7. Ditto

I couldn't have said it better myself.

This looks more like a prelude to some kind of involvement in Lebanon.

2. This has got to mean something. Anyone know what's up today in

Isreal? Anything going on today in the mid east that would require the confiscation of bank accounts?

3. I'm sorry, what? What "National Emergency"? nm

4. Of course it does

Report to the nearest Halliburton detention camp!

5. Isn't he talking about Lebanon? - n/t

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

6. That's, uh, confusing: declaring a national emergency with regard to OTHER sovereignties?

:shrug:

He's blocking property interests held in Lebanon by those living here?

:wtf: is going on?

8. MHO

WHAT THEY DO TODAY - POINTS TO WHAT THEY WILL TRY TO DO TOMORROW

[BlackHawk706867]

9. MHO They have already accomplished it, and it's just a matter of announcing

it. I think that Blackwater will be involved big time to control US citizens...

10. So,...are you saying the target has been removed from Iran and unto Syria?

I realize PNACers are willing to pull either/or into the expansion of the M.E. war.
