What Obama's H1N1 National
Emergency Really Means

From Dr. A. True OTT
10-27-9
 
President Obama's declaration of a national emergency in reaction to the H1N1 influenza "pandemic"...
 
This "national emergency" is declared because of "over 1,000 H1N1 deaths" - This "national emergency" in spite of the CDC's claims that "season influenza" kills over 36,000 Americans annually, and over 38,000 Americans die each year on the nation's highways!! (If this is true, why not declare a yearly "seasonal flu" or "freeway driving" national emergency??) 
 
Although the proclamation was signed Friday night, it was not released to the media until Saturday, October 24, 2009.  
 
The move authorizes Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to temporarily waive certain standard federal requirements in order to enable U.S. health care facilities to **implement emergency operations plans** to deal with the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic in the United States.
 
Back in 1973, a Senate SPECIAL COMMITTEE was formed to review the President's greatly expanded (i.e. dictatorial) powers following any OFFICIALLY SIGNED NATIONAL EMERGENCY. While the committee indeed documented the President's heightened "legal authority" -- all attempts to reform the Emergency Powers Statutes by Idaho Senator Frank Church proved to be completely futile. 
 
The committee's 1973 report showed that "national emergency declarations" had been issued only 4 times - in 1933 to quell the bank runs during the "great depression" -- again in 1950 during the Korean Conflict, and twice by "tricky" Dick Nixon during the '70's. Because of Nixon's antics, the Church Committee was formed to reform the statutes.
 
Now, for the first time since the Nixon era, we see Barack Hussein Obama usurping "emergency" dictatorial powers in the name of a faux "pandemic". (Little wonder that Dr. Kissinger and Z-big Brezinsky - Nixon's brain trust, would so advise Obama today.)
 
Notice that, according to the 1973 Senate report, under a formally declared "national emergency" -- the incumbent president now has the LEGAL POWER to: "seize property; organize and control the means of production; seize commodities; assign military forces abroad; institute martial law; seize and control all transportation and communication; regulate the operation of private enterprise; restrict travel; and, in a plethora of particular ways, control the lives of all American citizens."
 
And so --- it begins.  
 
HEIL TO THE FUHRER, BARACK OBAMA!!

FOREWORD
 
 
Since March 9, 1933, the United States has been in a state of declared national emergency. In fact, there are now in effect four presidentially-proclaimed states of national emergency: In addition to the national emergency declared by President Roosevelt in 1933, there are also the national emergency proclaimed by President Truman on December 16, 1950, during the Korean conflict, and the states of national emergency declared by President Nixon on March 23, 1970, and August 15, 1971.
 
These proclamations give force to 470 provisions of Federal law. These hundreds of statutes delegate to the President extraordinary powers, ordinarily exercised by the Congress, which affect the lives of American citizens in a host of all-encompassing manners. This vast range of powers, taken together, confer enough authority to rule the country without reference to normal Constitutional processes. 
 
Under the powers delegated by these statutes, the President may: seize property; organize and control the means of production; seize commodities; assign military forces abroad; institute martial law; seize and control all transportation and communication; regulate the operation of private enterprise; restrict travel; and, in a plethora of particular ways, control the lives of all American citizens. 
 
With the melting of the cold war--the developing detente with the Soviet Union and China, the stable truce of over 20 years duration between North and South Korea, and the end of U.S. involvement in the war in Indochina-there is no present need for the United States Government to continue to function under emergency conditions.
 
The Special Committee on the Termination of the National Emergency was created<http://www.barefootsworld.net/war_ep1.html#f1>1 to examine the consequences of terminating the declared states of national emergency that now prevail; to recommend what steps the Congress should take to ensure that the termination can be accomplished without adverse effect upon the necessary tasks of governing; and, also, to recommend ways in which the United States can meet future emergency situations with speed and effectiveness but without relinquishment of congressional oversight and control.

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release October 24, 2009
DECLARATION OF A NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO THE 2009
H1N1 INFLUENZA PANDEMIC
 
- - - - - - -
 
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
On April 26, 2009, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (the "Secretary") first declared a public health emergency under section 319 of the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. 247d, in response to the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus.
 
The Secretary has renewed that declaration twice, on July 24, 2009, and October 1, 2009. In addition, by rapidly identifying the virus, implementing public health measures, providing guidance for health professionals and the general public, and developing an effective vaccine, we have taken proactive steps to reduce the impact of the pandemic and protect the health of our citizens. As a Nation, we have prepared at all levels of government, and as individuals and communities, taking unprecedented steps to counter the emerging pandemic.
 
Nevertheless, the 2009 H1N1 pandemic continues to evolve. The rates of illness continue to rise rapidly within many communities across the Nation, and the potential exists for the pandemic to overburden health care resources in some localities.
 
Thus, in recognition of the continuing progression of the pandemic, and in further preparation as a Nation, we are taking additional steps to facilitate our response.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, including sections 201 and 301 of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) and consistent with section 1135 of the Social Security Act (SSA), as amended (42 U.S.C. 1320b-5), do hereby find and proclaim that, given that the rapid increase in illness across the Nation may overburden health care resources and that the temporary waiver of certain standard Federal requirements may be warranted in order to enable U.S. health care facilities to implement emergency operations plans, the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic in the United States constitutes a national emergency. Accordingly, I hereby declare that the Secretary may exercise the authority under section 1135 of the SSA to temporarily waive or modify certain requirements of the Medicare, Medicaid, and State Children's Health Insurance programs and of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act Privacy Rule throughout the duration of the public health emergency declared in response to the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic. In exercising this authority, the Secretary shall provide certification and advance written notice to the Congress as required by section 1135(d) of the SSA (42 U.S.C. 1320b-5(d)).
 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-third day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-fourth.
 
BARACK OBAMA
