The new “Did you now?” video is out.
You’ve been processed. What happens when disaster strikes and your carefully prepped fuel, food, and gear catches the eye of the government? A calm bureaucrat with a clipboard shows up—not for zombies, but for “national defense needs.”
In this video, we break down the real facts behind Executive Order 13603 (National Defense Resources Preparedness) and the Defense Production Act of 1950. Signed in 2012 by President Obama, EO 13603 isn’t the dystopian power grab some claim—it’s an update to decades-old emergency industrial mobilization rules. Energy resources (petroleum, gas, electricity, renewables) fall under the Secretary of Energy, but there’s no automatic “grab energy first” hierarchy—powers are delegated by sector, require justification, and include fair market compensation under the Fifth Amendment.
We debunk the 2012-era myths: No martial law, no indefinite conscription, no home raids on preppers without due process. Full-scale requisitioning is rare and tied to genuine crises.
Inspired by groups like the California State Militia (CSM), we focus on smart, community-based preparedness: Build local ties, train regularly, disperse your caches, and even have a “peace offering” ready for that polite pencil-wielder.
Stay prepared, stay connected, and remember: The polite pencil is mightier than the horde. You’ve got this. #ExecutiveOrder13603 #DefenseProductionAct #Prepping #EmergencyPowers #NationalDefense #PrepperMyths #SelfReliance #CommunityPreparedness #CSM
