Congressmen, authors,
patriots warn FEMA camp system in place

There exists an explosive hot-button issue that U.S.
government officials don’t want revealed to the American public; namely,
that internment camps have been established—and are at the ready to
detain citizens if mass insurrections occur. Under FEMA’s National Level
Exercise 2009 (NLE 09), potential trigger events could be economic
collapse, widespread bank closures, massive social unrest (possibly due
to proof that Barack Obama is not natural-born), or a flu pandemic.
This final item led Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.) to declare on August 11 that
the government “might use a pandemic disease or national disaster as an
excuse to declare martial law.”
Renowned researcher Michel Chossudovsky addressed the mechanics of this
subject in a March 19 article entitled, Preparing for Civil Unrest in
America: Legislation to Establish Internment Camps on U.S. Military
Bases:
“How will the U.S. government face an impending social catastrophe? The
chosen avenue, inherited from the outgoing Bush administration, is the
reinforcement of the Homeland Security apparatus and the militarization
of civilian state institutions.”
Are Army bases actually being converted into detainment camps? In his
September 2008 newsletter, Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) pulled no punches.
“Even though we know that detention facilities are already in place,
[the government] now wants to legalize the construction of FEMA camps on
military installations using the ever-popular excuse that the facilities
are for the purposes of a national emergency.”
Conservative author and former presidential candidate, Pastor Chuck
Baldwin, confirms this notion in an August 11 article, Why Are
Internment Camps Being Built?: “I’ve had military personnel tell me
that many of the U.S. military bases that have been recently ‘closed’
are also being prepared as large-scale ‘holding areas.’”
To counteract these charges, some claim the “renovated bases” will
simply be used to hold illegal aliens. A recent news item appeared in
the Idaho Observer’s June issue: “In January 2006, it was revealed that
Halliburton subsidiary, Kellogg, Brown & Root (KBR), had received a $385
million contract to build detention facilities ‘for an emergency influx
of immigrants.’”
But to argue that their sole focus is simply on illegal immigrants
doesn’t hold water because the U.S. has had an open-border policy for at
least three decades. On the other hand, more likely targets for
detainment would be anti-New World Order proponents, Second Amendment
advocates, dissidents, people who refuse to participate in forced
inoculation programs, Christians, tax protesters and those deemed
“extremists” and “enemies of the state” under a recent Department of
Homeland Security report on “homegrown right-wing terrorists.”
To show their seriousness in pushing this agenda, Bob Unruh revealed a
disturbing development on August 7 for World Net Daily: “An ad
campaign featured on a U.S. Army website seeking those who would be
interested in being an ‘internment/resettlement’ specialist is raising
alarms across the country.”
What specifically would this position entail? The description is clear:
“Internment/Resettlement (I/R) specialists in the Army are primarily
responsible for day-to-day operations in a military
confinement/correctional facility or detention/internment facility.”
Legislation introduced by representative Alcee Hastings (D-Fl.) under HR
645 would have the DHS establishing at least half a dozen national
emergency centers for large-scale imprisonment of American citizens on
military installations. Further, HR 645 would create a Guantanamo-style
setting after martial law is declared. At that point, posse comitatus
laws would be rendered non-existent, replaced by military jurisdiction
over all detainees. As a result, the incarcerated would find it much
more difficult to enforce their Constitutional rights to a fair trial
and/or legal representation.
If skeptics doubt this scenario, they need to reexamine President
Obama’s own words in a May 21 speech at the National Archives in
Washington, D.C. At this locale, he spoke of “prolonged detention” for
all those who posed a threat to U.S. security. Even members of the
liberal media were disconcerted by the implications of this proposal,
including MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, who questioned the “expectation of
future crimes” that seemed implicit in his plan. Maddow had further
suspicions about the president’s advocacy of an Orwellian Big
Brother-world via the use of “preventive incarceration” to keep certain
people in prison indefinitely without charge.
Finally, similar to the policies of George W. Bush, Obama vowed to
“reshape the standards that apply to our rule of law” (i.e., prolonged
military detention and the denial of habeas corpus).
Obama and his representatives have unmistakably drawn a line in the
sand. The Department of Homeland Security even has an “Operation
Endgame” that proposes the “removal of all ‘potential terrorists.’” How
would such a roundup be accomplished? How would “terrorist” be defined?
FEMA official Glenn Cannon admitted to the Associated Press on
Feb. 13, 2008 that they are “looking at ways to use passenger trains to
get elderly and sick people out of harm’s way during an emergency
situation.”
But would they conceivably stop at just senior citizens and the infirm,
or is their plan much more sinister? On Feb. 4, 2008, Lewis Seiler and
former Congressman Dan Hamburg (D-Calif.) provided a chilling scenario
for The San Francisco Chronicle: “Beginning in 1999, the
government has entered into a series of single-bid contracts with
Halliburton subsidiary KBR to build detention camps at undisclosed
locations within the United States. The government has also contracted
with several companies to build thousands of railcars, some reportedly
equipped with shackles, ostensibly to transport detainees.”
Such accounts should ring alarm bells, especially when we realize that
the U.S. has a long history of detaining its own citizens. In 1838,
President Martin Van Buren authorized a massive roundup of Cherokee
Indians.
During the Civil War, Abe Lincoln’s jails were filled with inmates due
to “suspicions of disloyalty.” Much worse, President Woodrow Wilson
imprisoned over 100,000 Americans during World War I who were deemed
political opponents or pacifists.
In 1939, the FBI compiled a “Custodial Detention Index,” whereas FDR
signed Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942, which permitted the
incarceration of not only Japanese, but Americans, including orphaned
infants and anyone deemed a “dissident” as well. More recently, on
August 20, 2006, Allen Roland of Global Research described one of
the most horrifying pieces of legislation ever passed: “Through Rex 84,
an undisclosed number of concentration camps were set in operation
throughout the United States for internment of dissidents and others
potentially harmful to the state.”
Closely associated with this action is Operation Garden Plot, which
activist priest Frank Morales characterizes as “a master plan to
suppress democratic opposition in the United States.”
It was actually implemented during the 1992 L.A. riots. Finally,
Operation Cable Splicer is designed for “the orderly takeover of state
and local governments” by FEMA and other federal agencies.
