Earlier this month, Barack Obama signed a new executive order that would let the government “block” the personal property of anyone the administration believes may have been complicit in undermining the democratic process in Ukraine. On Thursday, an article at Infowars says the order is so broadly written that the administration could use it to seize the personal property of Americans and warns that it sets a dangerous precedent. ”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,” the executive order says.
