[From the Borger (Tex.), News Herald, Sept. 19, 1971]

"STATE OF NATIONAL EMERGENCY LEGALIZES THE EXECUTIVE ORDERS:
THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY

"(By Archibald E. Roberts, Lt. Col. AUS ret.)

"The state of 'national emergency' declared by President Nixon in August 'legalized' the imposition of Executive Orders and other socialist directives under the guise of a 'time of increased international tension, and economic and financial crisis.'

"When published in the Federal Register Executive Orders, without any concurring action by the Congress, became law. In combination these documents achieve the objective of those who have long sought to dismantle the Constitution and erect a socialist state upon the ruins of the Republic.

"The implications of 'national emergency' may be best understood by examining a few of the Executive Orders published in the Federal Register during February and September, 1962:

"Executive Order No. 11051 Details responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis.

"Executive Order No. 10995 Provides for the take over of communication

media.

"Executive Order No. 10997 Provides for the take over of all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels, and minerals.

"Executive Order No. 10998 Provides for the take over of food resources and

farms.

"Executive Order No. 10990 Provides for the take over of all modes of transportation and control of highways, seaports, etc.

"Executive Order No. 11000 Provides for mobilization of civilians into work brigades under government supervision.

"Executive Order No. 11001 Provides for government take over of health, education, and welfare functions.

"Executive Order No. 11002 Designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons.

"Executive Order No. 11003 Provides for the government take over of airports and aircraft.

"Executive Order No. 11004 Provides for the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate communities, build new housing with public funds, designate areas to be abandoned, and estabished new locations for populations.

"Executive Order No. 11005 Provides for the government to take over railroads, inland waterways, public storage facilities.

"Executive Order No. 11310 Published in the Federal Register, 11 October, 1966, grants authority to the Department of Justice to enforce the plans set in Executive Orders, to institute industry support, to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President.

"In all respects the Attorney General will be an all powerful commissar with life and death authority over virtually all aspects of American life.

"In a public speech at Casper, Wyoming, 7 March, 1969, I predicted that, 'America is within two years of being taken over by an international cartel,' and, 'Nixon will be the one to lead us into total world government.'

"An international monetary crisis will be the tipoff to the takeover of the world by an organization of large bankers and businessmen intent on power,' I said.

"Contemporary events confirm our worst apprehensions.

"On 15 August, 1971, President Richard M. Nixon, in Proclamation No. 4074, announced, 'I hereby declare a national emergency,' thus effecting delivery of the United States to a cabal of international money lenders and industrialists. Pressures of economic coercion spelled out in Executive Order No. 11615 of the same date, are intended to expedite the transfer of Americans into an Orwilian, 1984, animal farm.

"The Order of 'Stabilization of Prices, Rents, Wages, and Salaries,' which is the title of Executive Order 11615, reveals that Arthur F. Burns, Chairman of the Board of Governors, Federal Reserve System, is the advisor (controller) of the Council.

"The Federal Reserve System is a private banking cartel which controls the American economy by regulating the flow of Federal Reserve notes in circulation, by controlling interest rates, the stock market, and other facets of American life.

"The Council (read Federal Reserve System) is also charged under the Order with the responsibility for developing additional policies, mechanism, and procedure to control prices, rents, wages, and salaries 'after the expiration of the 90day period.'

"In consonance with the provisions of Executive Order 11310 dated 11 October, 1966, the Order of 15 August, 1971, directs the Department of Justice to 'bring actions for injunctions' whenever it appears that any person has violated the regulations set out by the Council (F.R.S.).

"It will take a little time for the loose ends to be tidied up-three months say the planners-but ultimately all of us will experience the crunch of a controlled society.

"The die is cast in Proclamation 4074 and companion Executive Order 11615. "Through these acts, and certain other Executive Orders published during the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations, one man, on behalf of hidden sponsors, has completely ignored the Constitution, the authority of Congress, and the people.

"By implementing Executive Orders a dictatorship can be imposed on the American people.

"This is the political reality of Mr. Nixon's declaration of a state of 'national emergency.'

"All else is rhetoric.

"The success of the conspiracy can, however, be temporary if the people will it. Covert control of the Federal Government is dependent upon secrecy until full consolidation of power is achieved.

"The moment an aroused and indignant people commit themselves to exposing
