In attempted coup US Govt would force unpaid labor, seize food & energy supplies

The repercussions and mass purges following the attempted coup in Turkey is just a taste of what would happen if the US ever declared a state of emergency on American soil.

The speed at which Turkish President Erdogan dispatched his revenge after an attempted coup is as alarming as it is suspicious. Before the dust had even settled on the coup that left some 260 dead, Erdogan cracked-down on his opposition by investigating and/or arresting more than 60,000 soldiers, judges, intellectuals, civil servants, and teachers in a massive purge, which lends credence to the notion that the purge was already planned long before the attempted coup.

The purge began as an immediate response to the attempted coup, but what would happen in the United States if a state of emergency like the one in Turkey was declared? The answer has already been written into law and was signed by President Obama in 2012, and it includes the government’s complete control over all food, labor, and energy.

Executive Order 13603 – The Death of the Constitution

In the event of a State of Emergency in the United States, all food production and storage will be regulated by the federal government and all labor will be unpaid and enforced. All private property is subject to seizure to be allocated by federal agencies.

What would constitute a state of emergency? Any “military conflicts, natural or man-caused disasters, or acts of terrorism within the United States” would be sufficient for the complete governmental takeover of the US. This means that Martial Law could even be implemented in the event of an earthquake, volcano eruption, or an oil-spill — let alone an attempted coup like the one in Turkey.

This is not opinion. This is not theory. This is Executive Order 13603 – National Defense Resources Preparedness, and it was signed into action four years ago.

Forced, uncompensated (slave) labor

Section 502 of the Executive Order states:

“The head of each agency otherwise delegated functions under this order is delegated the authority of the President […] to employ persons of outstanding experience and ability without compensation and to employ experts, consultants, or organizations. The authority delegated by this section may not be redelegated.”

That means any citizen with “outstanding experience” or skills in any sector may be conscripted to a labor force that doesn’t pay, doesn’t specify working conditions, nor regulate how many hours worked. It is essentially slave labor to be enacted in the name of “National Defense.”

The order does not specify what will happen to those who will not cooperate with the Totalitarian Socialist agenda of working without compensation, but a complete control of the nation’s food supply might be a coersive measure in persuasion, since nobody can live without food.

Complete control of food supply

According to the executive order, all food in the US will be under the control of the Secretary of Agriculture, including “food resources, food resource facilities, livestock resources, veterinary resources, plant health resources, and the domestic distribution of farm equipment and commercial fertilizer.”

Food resources is defined as anything that is “capable of being ingested by either human beings or animals,” including all drinking water in the United States.

All farms and food-related factories are also given to the Secretary of Agriculture, including “plants, machinery, vehicles (including on farm), and other facilities required for the production, processing, distribution, and storage.”

In the event of a “national emergency,” whether the pretext is true or not, American citizens will be subjected to slave labor in concentration camps while their properties will be confiscated to control the food supply. If people work without pay, how will they buy food? The answer is they won’t. They will be given rations from the farm takeovers by the government.

Energy, electricity, oil and gas to be fully regulated

All energy production and distribution will fall under the charge of the Secretary of Energy. Keep in mind that none of these secretaries are elected officials. They are hand-picked by whatever administration is in power at the time the Executive Order is called into effect.

With respect to “energy production and construction, distribution and use, and directly related activities” — everything will be controlled by the Secretary of Energy.

The Executive Order defines energy as “all forms of energy including petroleum, gas (both natural and manufactured), electricity, solid fuels (including all forms of coal, coke, coal chemicals, coal liquification, and coal gasification), solar, wind, other types of renewable energy, atomic energy, and the production, conservation, use, control, and distribution (including pipelines) of all of these forms of energy.”

That means the complete takeover and control of all cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, airplanes, and anything else that runs on gas or electricity.

Being forced to work without pay, having your food forcefully rationed, and being denied access to transportation and energy, including communications and Internet, is what awaits should the United States ever have an attempted coup or any other disaster on its hands, whether real or perceived as real.

Not to mention concentration camps.

Concentration camps

If all work is to be unpaid and all sectors of food and energy are to be under the control of the government, it will need to have facilities in which to house and feed the “workers,” or slaves if you will.

This is also covered in Executive Order 13603. It is the responsibility of the head of each governmental agency (unelected officials) to:

“(a) procure and install additional equipment, facilities, processes, or improvements to plants, factories, and other industrial facilities owned by the Federal Government and to procure and install Government owned equipment in plants, factories, or other industrial facilities owned by private persons.

(b) provide for the modification or expansion of privately owned facilities, including the modification or improvement of production processes.”

What would America look like after a State of Emergency is declared?

In short, America would become a totalitarian, socialist regime with the Constitution suspended indefinitely. The right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness will be met with famine, incarceration, and slavery.

Fear will be the driving force behind it all, and all it would take would be one decisive announcement on the part of the president to destroy over 200 years of so-called democracy in the event of a perceived threat to national security of the United States.
