The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 360
supplies of grain for emergencies. The U.S. was compelled to sell our grain
reserves to the rest of the world… The sad reality of all this is that Americans in
the land which feeds the world over 80 percent of its food could actually starve to
death while the rest of the world eats.

While these legitimate functions of the federal government are deficient or not being
carried out at all, the President has been seizing power and authority that not only does not
belong to him but can serve no legitimate purpose. For example, neither government controls
over the production of food or our nations industry could ever help America in a crises. Food,
commercial goods and equipment are most efficiently produced with the least amount of
government regulation and control. The U.S.S.R. and China are a fine example of this.
In the U.S.S.R. and Communist China, when the government took control of farming
through collectivization, millions died as a result of starvation. Once burgeoning agricultural
industries failed. The failures were the result of poor government planning, lack of initiative on
the part of the people and in some instances the failures were planned as a result of the
governments desire to eliminate certain groups of people. Neither the U.S.S.R nor China could
have become world powers without the aid of the United States and other European countries.
Because of the government controls over industry in both the U.S.S.R. and China, industry for all
practical purposes, did not exist. They needed foreign help to design and to build their factories;
they needed foreign suppliers of equipment; foreign suppliers of technology, foreign sources for
the training of their workers and foreign sources of capital. Government control does not foster
innovation, efficiency or investment and without these industry cannot exist.
The above Executive Orders are not only illegitimate exercises of power; they give the
president of the United States dictatorial power over the United States. When invoked the
president will have control of all resources, all energy, all food, all industry and all people. The
Constitution of the United States was written to keep the President of the United States from ever
having such power. In spite of this, he can now declare a national emergency, invoke the above
executive orders and obtain absolute power. So what is a national emergency? James Hirsen
explains this below:
An emergency is defined as follows: “Emergency means any occasion or
instance for which, in the determination of the President, federal assistance is
needed to supplement state and local efforts and capabilities to save lives and to
protect property and public health and safety, or to lessen or avert the threat of a
catastrophe in any part of the United States.” What the War and Emergency
Powers Act does, in conjunction with the above mentioned executive orders, is
enable the president to suspend the Constitution at will. All the president needs to
take this type of action is a national emergency.

Absolute Power
Will an American use this absolute power to kill as other dictators have done? When you
consider that as we have previously learned: that many presidents of the last century have
