This is just ducky! This is just like Bush all over again.
Obama Invokes NDAA, Declares Threat From Iran "A National Emergency"
President Obama invokes the NDAA, which authorizes the use of military force, and issues an executive order declaring the “threat” of Iran a National Emergency.
Obama concluded,, "I have also delegated certain functions and authorities conferred by section 1245 of the NDAA to the Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of State in consultation with other appropriate agencies as specified in the order."This video shows the issuance of President Obama executive order which declares Iran’s threat to cut off oil supplies a national emergency.
The executive order directs all government agencies to respond immediately to the threat.
It further invokes the authority of the 2012 NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) which gives the President the power to launch military action against any nation without the approval of Congress.Ironically, the State of Emergency order accuses the Iranian central bank of deceptive banking practices.
For those who think some random series of events led up to this situation, the following article is a real eye opener. The Brookings Institute laid out the playbook in 2009 on how to provoke a war with Iran and garner international support for an invasion.
Comparing the chain of events since then, it is pretty clear that TPTB have followed the playbook so far. It is quite scary thinking about the the next steps in the playbook – an Iran sponsored 9/11 attack.
