Saturday night, March 17. Dateline 8 PM PDT. I received an email from a reader alerting me to the Executive Order — National Defense Resources Preparedness signed by President Obama on March 16. To tell the truth, I thought it was a hoax. Other than The Examiner, I could find no reference to the EO anywhere but on the official White House Press release site.

So what to do? I had already completed the Sunday Buzz but wait, I just had to include this bit of breaking news. And so, for the next twenty four hours, like many of you, I sought to make sense of the fact that there has been no main stream coverage of this event.

I do not consider myself an advocate of conspiracies. But as I consider this wholesale cannibalization of our freedom and of the Constitution, I begin to wonder whether there is some grand plan. Perhaps there is some master puppeteer poised to pull our strings when and if the rise to elitism reaches the pinnacle.

So with much personal angst, I have begun to believe that the rank and file citizens of the United States of America are being herded down the path to a Police State. Or, better put, will soon be running from the rising tsunami of the police state.
