An Obama executive order that creates a council of state governors who will work with the feds to expand military involvement in domestic security has stoked fears that the administration is stepping up preparations for martial law.
The order, which is entitled Establishment of the Council of Governors (PDF), creates a body of ten state governors directly appointed by Obama who will work with the federal government to help advance the “synchronization and integration of State and Federal military activities in the United States”.
The governors will liaise with officials from Northcom, Homeland Security, the National Guard as well as DoD officials from the Pentagon “in order to strengthen further the partnership between the Federal Government and State governments,” according to the executive order.
In October 2008, Northcom, a Unified Combatant Command of the United States military based out of Peterson AFB, Colorado Springs, was assigned the 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team returning from Iraq. An alarming September 8 Army Times report which was later denied after it sparked controversy stated that the troops would be used by Northcom to deal with “civil unrest and crowd control” in the aftermath of a national emergency.
The Obama executive order states that governors will help advise the feds on National Guard, homeland defense, and civil support activities.
The fact that the order further blurs the lines between state and federal power, as well as greasing the skids for more military involvement in domestic affairs has stoked fears that Obama may be laying the groundwork for his promised “national civilian security force”.

It is hard to believe that our elected representatives signed a bill for hundreds of billions of dollars and never read a word, but it's true. However, this is not the first time: under a law passed by our irresponsible Congress last year was their ill conceived approach to regulating products for children that contain lead.I agree, paint containing lead that can chip off of a toy and be placed into the mouth of a child is dangerous, but that is hardly the case when it comes to books where ink does not chip off of its pages.

Last week The Capital Area Association of Realtors released the official numbers for 2009.

Throw in a 4.8% increase to a new record high $109,000 median sale price, and it appears the local housing market is in great shape going forward.

Most people would agree that from the announcement of the financial crisis in September of 2009 through the first months of the Obama administration, the country was griped with uncertainty at best, and fear at worst.There are tell tale signs one can observe from their own local vantage point. We watched the housing market shrink the fourth quarter of 2009 through the first five months of 2009 in Springfield, and then rally on the first time buyer tax credits, and record low interest rates through the end of the year.
