White HouseBLOCKING PROPERTY OF CERTAIN PERSONS CONTRIBUTING TO THE SITUATION IN UKRAINE
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) (NEA), section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code,
I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, find that the actions and policies of persons — including persons who have asserted governmental authority in the Crimean region without the authorization of the Government of Ukraine — that undermine democratic processes and institutions in Ukraine; threaten its peace, security, stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity; and contribute to the misappropriation of its assets, constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat. I hereby order:
Section 1. (a) All property and interests in property that are in the United States, that hereafter come within the United States, or that are or hereafter come within the possession or control of any United States person (including any foreign branch) of the following persons are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in: any person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State:
(i) to be responsible for or complicit in, or to have engaged in, directly or indirectly, any of the following:
(A) actions or policies that undermine democratic processes or institutions in Ukraine;
(B) actions or policies that threaten the peace, security, stability, sovereignty, or territorial integrity of Ukraine; or
(C) misappropriation of state assets of Ukraine or of an economically significant entity in Ukraine;
(ii) to have asserted governmental authority over any part or region of Ukraine without the authorization of the Government of Ukraine;
(iii) to be a leader of an entity that has, or whose members have, engaged in any activity described in subsection (a)(i) or (a)(ii) of this section or of an entity whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order;
(iv) to have materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of, any activity described in subsection (a)(i) or (a)(ii) of this section or any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order; or
(v) to be owned or controlled by, or to have acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order.
(b) The prohibitions in subsection (a) of this section apply except to the extent provided by statutes, or in regulations, orders, directives, or licenses that may be issued pursuant to this order, and notwithstanding any contract entered into or any license or permit granted prior to the effective date of this order.
Sec. 2. I hereby find that the unrestricted immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the United States of aliens determined to meet one or more of the criteria in subsection 1(a) of this order would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, and I hereby suspend entry into the United States, as immigrants or nonimmigrants, of such persons. Such persons shall be treated as persons covered by section 1 of Proclamation 8693 of July 24, 2011 (Suspension of Entry of Aliens Subject to United Nations Security Council Travel Bans and International Emergency Economic Powers Act Sanctions).
Sec. 3. I hereby determine that the making of donations of the type of articles specified in section 203(b)(2) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(2)) by, to, or for the benefit of any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to section 1 of this order would seriously impair my ability to deal with the national emergency declared in this order, and I hereby prohibit such donations as provided by section 1 of this order.
Sec. 4. The prohibitions in section 1 of this order include but are not limited to:
(a) the making of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order; and
(b) the receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services from any such person.
Sec. 5. (a) Any transaction that evades or avoids, has the purpose of evading or avoiding, causes a violation of, or attempts to violate any of the prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited.
(b) Any conspiracy formed to violate any of the prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited.
Sec. 6. For the purposes of this order:
(a) the term “person” means an individual or entity;
(b) the term “entity” means a partnership, association, trust, joint venture, corporation, group, subgroup, or other organization; and
(c) the term “United States person” means any United States citizen, permanent resident alien, entity organized under the laws of the United States or any jurisdiction within the United States (including foreign branches), or any person in the United States.
Sec. 7. For those persons whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order who might have a constitutional presence in the United States, I find that because of the ability to transfer funds or other assets instantaneously, prior notice to such persons of measures to be taken pursuant to this order would render those measures ineffectual. I therefore determine that for these measures to be effective in addressing the national emergency declared in this order, there need be no prior notice of a listing or determination made pursuant to section 1 of this order.
Sec. 8. The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, is hereby authorized to take such actions, including the promulgation of rules and regulations, and to employ all powers granted to the President by IEEPA, as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of this order. The Secretary of the Treasury may redelegate any of these functions to other officers and agencies of the United States Government consistent with applicable law. All agencies of the United States Government are hereby directed to take all appropriate measures within their authority to carry out the provisions of this order.
Sec. 9. The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, is hereby authorized to submit the recurring and final reports to the Congress on the national emergency declared in this order, consistent with section 401(c) of the NEA (50 U.S.C. 1641(c)) and section 204(c) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1703(c)).
Sec. 10. This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
BARACK OBAMA
Sheer arrogance!
Someone help me out here. I don’t speak totalitarian. Could this also mean that we cannot purchase or they cannot import any more Russian made ammunition or civilian fire arms?
Good point, Bulldog. I am anxious to see where this latest executive “order” goes…..
never let a crisis go to waste. Start another run on ammo while bringing back the cold war for the military industrial complex. win/win for the communists.
Hi Bulldog,
Yeah,.. to understand this treasonous piece of filth,… you need to speak fluent Commie,… or Imbicile Speak.
Since I speak neither,.. I can’t help you out,.. sorry brother.
JD – US Marines – Soon as this commie traitor started the document with, “By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution”:,… it was null and void since he is not, has never been, and can never be a legitimate President of this country.
Well RJ,
I’d buy a ticket that show!!! – JD
.
maybe I am wrong, but I read it three times. It sounds to me like they are going to ban the import , sale, transfer of any goods deemed to be coming from a country that is working against the “democratic” (bullshit) process of Ukraine. To me that sounds like they could target the import or even transfer of Russian Ammo.
You do think in terms of guns and ammo! I swear that is all you see when you read things!!! 🙂
Yes I do, 🙂 🙂 Guns and ammo are your friends.
Might be too late on that count for President Manchurian

you should send that in to Henry to post on the site, good info.
acts are acts and not lawful.
any law passed that is in obvious disregard to the constitution of the u. s. a.
is no law and is void.
We are therefore under no obligation to obey any law that is unlawful and void
mabury v madison 1803
“All legislative Powers, herein granted shall be vested in a Congress…” Art. I, Sec. 1, US Constitution.
“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”
~James Madison, Federalist essay #47.
Executive Order – “By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) (NEA), section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code,”
Let’s tear this apart,. just for fun, okay?
Executive Order – that would be “legislation” created by the executive branch. Yet the same “Constitution” that he is quoting his “authority” from forbids any EXCEPT the congress to write legislation of any type.
Article one, “Notice the leading word, ALL. There seems to be little room for interpretation. It does not mean most legislation and it does not mean all legislation except what the President may have a whim to pass, it means all. When it says that “Article one, “All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress…” It does not mean most legislation and it does not mean all legislation except what the President may have a whim to pass, it means ALL legislation. It means that the executive and judicial branches are forbidden to legislate in any manner. Executive orders are a person is unlawfully writing legislation and has no lawful Constitutional authority to do so, in fact he is forbidden to do so by it.
Black’s Law Dictionary, Seventh Edition describes legislation as:
“1. The process of making or enacting a positive law in written form, according to some type of formal procedure, by a branch of government constituted to perform this process” it means that the executive and judicial branch are forbidden to legislate in any manner.
“By the authority vested in me as President ”
He was NOT a lawful or vetted presidential candidate in 2008 – or in 2012 – which means he was not then, nor is he now, a lawful US President. He is IMPERSONATING A US PRESIDENT, that is all. 1) The 2008 Democratic Nominating Committee (DNC) document did not include language stating that Obama was qualified to be a candidate. The 2008 Republican Nominating Committee (RNC) document did, as is normal. 2) South Bend, Indiana jury found that election fraud put BOTH President Obama and Hillary Clinton on the presidential primary ballot in Indiana in the 2008 election. (TY to “Cal” for 1 & 2)
All treaties, laws, bills MUST be “in Pursuance thereof” the US Constitution to be lawful. The USA is NOT under any foreign law as that would be treason against the USA.
U.S. Code › Title 50 › Chapter 35 › § 1701
50 U.S. Code § 1701 – Unusual and extraordinary threat; declaration of national emergency; exercise of Presidential authorities.
a) Any authority granted to the President by section 1702 of this title may be exercised to deal with any unusual and extraordinary threat, which has its source in whole or substantial part outside the United States, to the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States, if the President declares a national emergency with respect to such threat.
(b) The authorities granted to the President by section 1702 of this title may only be exercised to deal with an unusual and extraordinary threat with respect to which a national emergency has been declared for purposes of this chapter and may not be exercised for any other purpose. Any exercise of such authorities to deal with any new threat shall be based on a new declaration of national emergency which must be with respect to such threat.
NONE of the three branches of the federal government or the state governments were ever given the authority by the US Constitution to proclaim an “emergency” where they could give themselves more “power”. NONE!
The use of “emergency powers” was given by the US Supreme Court which was NEVER given the power to use, or to give, powers of any type to any of the three branches or to the state governments.
Presidents use crises to lay claim to extraordinary powers to “preserve the nation”. Yet “emergency powers” are neither granted expressly to the president nor delegated to Congress by the Constitution. Instead, they are judged – by those who want those powers – to reside in the need for leaders to “protect national sovereignty” and “keep domestic order”.
The mandate in Article II that the president “preserve, protect and defend” the US Constitution and uphold its provisions is considered – by those who want those powers – to contain the notion of “emergency powers”.
Yet that cannot be true since they are required to “PRESERVE”, not only to “protect and defend” the US Constitution. All US Presidents are held to a higher standard then everyone else as they are the ones charged with IMPLEMENTING the “laws of the land”, NOT creating them.
The wording of the Presidential Oath was established in the Constitution in Article II, Section 1, Clause 8: ‘Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, PRESERVE, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”’ (emphasis is mine)
If the US Constitution must be preserved by all US Presidents then they cannot give themselves powers, nor allow the other two branches to give themselves powers. So when they started writing legislation – executive orders – it was unlawful and there’s NO time limits:
“There is no statute of limitations on any act that breaks the Oath or Affirmation, or goes against the US Constitution, more importantly every unlawful deed that continues to remain on the books and is not destroyed by those reps who are later elected make them equally guilty of those crimes. As long as harm continues to those who are having those crimes enforced against them makes those reps, etc who let them continue guilty of every act committed. ” Dr. Edwin Vieira, Jr.
That means that every executive order ever created here in the USA is unlawful.
Please add AIPAC near the top of the list, plus all dual “citizens.”
Putin/Russia has just stated that they will stop/end all Russian ammo shipments to US.
First, Chimp takes the weapons/ammo from the Ukraine in the 2009 agreement. Then he buys all the US mfg. ammo. Then he sees to it that all ammo from Russia is stopped from import.
What next you fool………………
…next?…..next would be encouraging the accumulation of ammo for yourself and all the other groups that are going to need it…along with understanding that once the action starts…scavenging arms & ammo from the dead is going to be a critical skill…
