Subject: New Executive Order: Asset Forfeiture for U.S. CITIZENS
"Obstructing War Effort"
Vice President Cheney advised Democrats in Congress to “be very
cautious not to seek political advantage by making incendiary
suggestions that the White House had advance information that might
have prevented the tragic attacks of 9/11.” He warned that
[creation of a 9-11 Commission] would be tantamount to “giving aid
and comfort to the enemy.”
"To those who scare peace-loving people with phantoms of lost
liberty, my message is this: Your tactics only aid terrorists, for
they erode our national unity and diminish our resolve. They give
ammunition to America’s enemies.”
--(R) Atty General John Ashcroft to (D) critics of the Patriot Act
who claimed it threatened civil liberties
“... Public discussion of the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq
reinforces enemy propaganda ..."
--(R) Pentagon official Eric Edelman to (D) Sen. Clinton of
Oversight Committee
New Law:
Protest misdeeds in Iraq and lose your property
http://www.noquestionsasked.org/blog/?p=187
If you protest the war in Iraq, you can lose your house, your car
and have your bank account emptied by the U.S. government.
While Americans were sleeping, the president signed an executive
order — titled Blocking Property of Certain Persons Who Threaten
Stabilization Efforts in Iraq — that gives him the ability to seize
the property of anyone he sees as a threat to his efforts in Iraq.
Wake up folks, we now officially live in a fascist state. Among
other things the USA Patriot Act allows the government can listen
to our phone conversations, read our mail, monitor our purchases
and arrest us and hold us without charge. Now, under this executive
order if we protest the war, the government can leave us homeless
and penniless.
This is major news that nobody picked up because it was
conveniently sandwiched between his comment that the “CIA
interrogators compliance with the Geneva Conventions against
torture” and his colonoscopy.

Fact sheet Message to the Congress of the United States Regarding
International Emergency Economic Powers Act
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, as amended (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, find
that, due to the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
security and foreign policy of the United States posed by acts of
violence threatening the peace and stability of Iraq and
undermining efforts to promote economic reconstruction and
political reform in Iraq and to provide humanitarian assistance to
the Iraqi people, it is in the interests of the United States to
take additional steps with respect to the national emergency
declared in Executive Order 13303 of May 22, 2003, and expanded in
Executive Order 13315 of August 28, 2003, and relied upon for
additional steps taken in Executive Order 13350 of July 29, 2004,
and Executive Order 13364 of November 29, 2004. I hereby order:
Section 1. (a) Except to the extent provided in section 203(b)(1),
(3), and (4) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(1), (3), and (4)), or in
regulations, orders, directives, or licenses that may be issued
pursuant to this order, and notwithstanding any contract entered
into or any license or permit granted prior to the date of this
order, all property and interests in property of the following
persons, that are in the United States, that hereafter come within
the United States, or that are or hereafter come within the
possession or control of United States persons, are blocked and may
not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt
in: any person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in
consultation with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense,
(i) to have committed, or to pose a significant risk of committing,
an act or acts of violence that have the purpose or effect of:
(A) threatening the peace or stability of Iraq or the Government of
Iraq; or
(B) undermining efforts to promote economic reconstruction and
political reform in Iraq or to provide humanitarian assistance to
the Iraqi people;
(ii) to have materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial,
material, logistical, or technical support for, or goods or
services in support of, such an act or acts of violence or any
person whose property and interests in property are blocked
pursuant to this order; or
(iii) to be owned or controlled by, or to have acted or purported
to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, any person
whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to
this order.
(b) The prohibitions in subsection (a) of this section include, but
are not limited to, (i) the making of any contribution or provision
of funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of any
person whose property and interests in property are blocked
pursuant to this order, and (ii) the receipt of any contribution or
provision of funds, goods, or services from any such person.
Sec. 2. (a) Any transaction by a United States person or within the
United States that evades or avoids, has the purpose of evading or
avoiding, or attempts to violate any of the prohibitions set forth
in this order is prohibited.
(b) Any conspiracy formed to violate any of the prohibitions set
forth in this order is prohibited.
Sec. 3. For purposes of this order:
(a) the term “person” means an individual or entity;
(b) the term “entity” means a partnership, association, trust,
joint venture, corporation, group, subgroup, or other organization;
and
(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.
Sec. 4. I hereby determine that the making of donations of the type
specified in section 203(b)(2) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(2)) by,
to, or for the benefit of, any person whose property and interests
in property are blocked pursuant to this order would seriously
impair my ability to deal with the national emergency declared in
Executive Order 13303 and expanded in Executive Order 13315, and I
hereby prohibit such donations as provided by section 1 of this order.
Sec. 5. 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 Executive Order 13303 and expanded in Executive Order
13315, there need be no prior notice of a listing or determination
made pursuant to section 1(a) of this order.
Sec. 6. The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the
Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense, is hereby
authorized to take such actions, including the promulgation of
rules and regulations, and to employ all powers granted to the
President by IEEPA as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of
this order. The Secretary of the Treasury may redelegate any of
these functions to other officers and agencies of the United States
Government, consistent with applicable law. All agencies of the
United States Government are hereby directed to take all
appropriate measures within their authority to carry out the
provisions of this order and, where appropriate, to advise the
Secretary of the Treasury in a timely manner of the measures taken.
Sec. 7. Nothing in this order is intended to affect the continued
effectiveness of any rules, regulations, orders, licenses, or other
forms of administrative action issued, taken, or continued in
effect heretofore or hereafter under 31 C.F.R. chapter V, except as
expressly terminated, modified, or suspended by or pursuant to this
order.
Sec. 8. This order is not intended to, and does not, create any
right, benefit, or privilege, substantive or procedural,
enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United
States, its departments, agencies, instrumentalities, or entities,
its officers or employees, or any other person.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
