Exposing New World Order Crony, Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley

Governor O’Malley Appointed to Obama’s Council of Governors

"With the stroke of a pen, Obama significantly increased the ongoing effort to federalize the states and take control of the National Guard in violation of the now more or less moribund Posse Comitatus Act. Posse Comitatus was effectively annulled by the 2006 John Warner National Defense Authorization Act. The act provides the president with power to declare martial law under revisions to the Insurrection Act and take charge of United States National Guard troops without state governor authorization." - Kurt Nimmo, MIAC Report Supporter and Missouri Gov. Nixon to Sit On Obama’s Council of Governors, Infowars.com, February 5, 2010

One Maryland - President Obama recently appointed Governor O’Malley to serve on the newly created Council of Governors [see the following post (and video), labeled "Paramilitary Police State & Private Prisons"]. The Council was established by President Obama on January 11th, 2010 by Executive Order to strengthen further the partnership between the Federal Government and State governments on matters of national and public safety.

The Council will coordinate with the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and other defense and national security advisors the Council on national security issues that are of mutual interest to State and Federal governments. Specific attention will be given to homeland defense, synchronization and integration of State and Federal military activities, the National Guard and local civilian support for these efforts.

Governor’s National Leadership Positions on Homeland Security

Office of the Governor - Governor Martin O’Malley considers public safety one of the most sacred and important responsibilities shared by those in public service. During his two-term tenure as Mayor of Baltimore, Governor O’Malley gained national prominence as a leading voice for homeland security for the nation's cities as Chairman of the U.S. Conference of Mayors’ Homeland Security Task Force.

In 2004, O’Malley was asked to address a primetime national audience at the Democratic National Convention in Boston to bring attention to the crises facing our nation’s cities in addressing homeland security needs to defend against terrorism.

“Sadly and unforgivably almost three years after that fateful day when thousands of moms and dads, sons and daughters didn't come from work on September 11th, America’s cities and towns, America’s ports and borders and America’s heartland remain needlessly vulnerable.”

Since becoming Governor in 2007, Martin O’Malley has been appointed to three national leadership positions, including:

1. The Council of Governors - appointed by the President of the United States
2. The Homeland Security Advisory Council - appointed by Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano
3. The NGA Special Committee on Homeland Security and Public Safety – selected by his peers, the nation’s Governors

The directive states that this power could/would be exercised in the case of a "Catastrophic Emergency", meaning "any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions ..."
