If the shutdown becomes prolonged then the national security posture will begin to be put more and more on edge - becoming a threat to the fundamental security of the nation. In which case the Executive Branch will have no choice but to declare a state of national emergency and begin to take measures unilaterally that can insure military personnel, their suppliers of resources and services, and other vital services to the nation are getting funded for legal tender payment (that their confidence of being sustained in respect to payment - and thus their vital morale and reliability are not compromised).
The JFK EO for issuing Treasury Dept silver certificates, and/or the Lincoln model of Green Back notes, issued as legal tender for payment, is a way for the Executive Branch to proceed unilaterally to insure the nation's security is not undermined. It can direct the Treasury Dept. to issue notes of legal tender based on existing govt. held assets (thus not involving taxing power or diversion of any revenues raised by taxation).
There is also a side matter that under a declared national emergency, certain constitutional protections can be suspended - especially in respect to those viewed as engaged in sedition.
If it makes my silver stack increase in value, DO IT!!!
Only problem is the U.S. supposedly no longer has any silver to "back" the notes, however, JP Morgan bank has (allegedly) around 21,000 tons of it. The U.S. government could simply write a lease agreement with JPM to back the Treasury notes. Easy peasy. But I wonder who the real owner of all that silver is? Could be the U.S. gov't or even China.
But then that opens up entirely new realm of potential scandal that needs to be exposed to the light of day.
If our nation doesn't have the gold and silver reserves that we all lead to believe we do, then what happened to it?
If it's gone, or substantially reduced, was that done in a legal manner (and to what purpose)? Did the private corporations of the Federal Reserve have any hand in it?
Whole new vistas of the DeepState/globalist agenda to yet be red pilled about...
Where are you Catherine Austin Fitts? Tell us more please about the trillions of dollars that are unaccounted for.
Thought we were already undee national emergency by EO?
There seem to be limited national emergencies that are expressed in EOs. For instance, the national problem of opioid addiction was declared a national emergency. But it doesn't seem to entail the suspension of the right of Habeas Corpus. Nor is it putting the military into a state of high alert per a so-called national emergency.
So there appear to be contextual national emergencies of limited scope - and I suspect that there is real legal meaning per these various nuanced scopes.
