In order to allow the White House to reach anyone within the US, the president has put forth a plan to establish a high-level committee calling from agents with the Department of Homeland Security, Pentagon, Federal Communications Commission and other government divisions to ensure that his new executive order can be implemented.

In explaining the order, the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) writes that the president has authorized the DHS "the authority to seize private facilities when necessary, effectively shutting down or limiting civilian communications."

However, upon further investigation, THIS Executive Order was actually signed into Law LAST YEAR under the radar

...so how did we collectively miss this move? Do you think it is ironic that something this earthshaking would go for a year unreported? Are these Authoritarian moves JUST coming to light now that we have ourselves really paying attention as to what the NSA and other agencies are up to?

I just wonder...how many MORE of these types of incremental "laws" have been put into place without us even seeing the blip on our collective radar...
either way, it still pisses me off, gonna have to go take a valium or something...
