To the degree that this comment is coherent, it seems that J1234 disagrees with what Ted Rall says.
However, J1234 doesn’t attempt to tell us why he disagrees, he just offers ad hominem slams.

Following a catastrophic national emergency, the President, or his successor can authorize the establishment of a temporary "shadow government" to maintain control of the essential functions of the Federal Government.
In 2012, President Obama issued two Executive Orders that will greatly expand the presidential powers in the event of a national emergency.
The March 2012 Executive Order gives the President the authority to commandeer all U.S. domestic resources, including food and water, and seize all energy and transportation infrastructure within the United States. The order also allows authorizes the U.S. Government to force its citizens to fulfill labor requirements for the purposes of national defense.
The July 2012 Executive Order gives the Department of Homeland Security authority over private communication networks in emergency situations.
“Despite claims that the executive order provided the President with unprecedented new powers such as declaring martial law, seizing private property, implementing the rationing of food, gasoline, and drugs, restarting peacetime conscription, and nationalizing American industry, merely by declaring a national emergency, the National Defense Resources Preparedness EO issued by President Obama was simply a minor updating of a similar order issued by President Bill Clinton in 1994 (which itself had decades-old predecessors) and amended several times since.” — Snopes.com
