Very quietly, on Friday, March 16, President Barack Obama signed an Executive Order called the National Defense Resources Preparedness order.
Like every "act" or "order" passed of late, the name is a completely misleading piece of false-patriotic propaganda. It should be called the "We Can Take Anything from Anyone at Any Time" order, because that is exactly what it boils down to.
The general function of the act is this:
"Executive departments and agencies responsible for plans and programs relating to national defense…or for resources and services needed to support such plans and programs, shall identify requirements for the full spectrum of emergencies, including essential military and civilian demand."
This means that any department of the government that is responsible for any item or service, either for the military or the general populace, can make a determination of what the needs of the country are. The "full spectrum of emergencies" means that this is not specific to times of martial law.
