Concentration Camps in US (operated by FEMA)

FEMA (federal emergency management agency)



brief history of fema:

created on april 1st, 1979 under jimmy carter's executive order 12127.
this combined the federal insurance administration, the national fire prevention & control administration, the national weather service community preparedness program, the federal preparedness agency of the general services administration, and the federal disaster assistance administration among others including the defense department's defense civil preparedness agency responsible for preparing citizens for a military attack.

in 1993, president clinton made the directorship of fema a cabinet position.

in 2001, following 9/11, fema was to coordinate with the newly formed office of homeland security.

in 2003, fema joined 22 other federal agencies, programs and offices to become the department of homeland security.
the new department was headed by tom ridge. who, in 2008, filed a lobbying disclosure form nearly 2 years late, revealing that he worked for the government of albania in 2006. a 480,000 dollar 1 year contract, signed by ridge, to help the country "develop an overall homeland defense strategy based on land, air and sea security." the contract identified ridge as the "lead on strategic advice" for the albanian government under his firm, ridge global.

in 2006, fema's response to america's greatest "natural" disaster, hurricane katrina, is widely criticized due to slow and inadequate response, blocking external private and public assistance from individuals and groups including the Red Cross (source 1 + source 2 + source 3), banning photographs of the dead (source), and confiscating reporter’s equipment (source) and homeowner’s registered firearms.
these criticized actions were not accidents, but part of a larger agenda . their slow and inadequate response to the scene would ensure future cooperation of the american people to incorporating fema troops into major cities (in order to be positive that something like the disaster in new orleans would not happen again). their tactics were not geared toward rescue, instead, katrina "relief efforts" were used to allow FEMA to rehearse rounding up and relocating large numbers of people to camps, suspending their constitutional rights and militarizing the region with the help of private military contractors (mercenaries). black water usa, a private security company with ties to the administration, was used in the aftermath of katrina, without a proper bidding process.

rex-84 (readiness exercise of 1984) is an emergency response program involving the implementation of martial law, the movement of civilian populations and the arrest and detainment of segments of the population. a rehearsal of the program was carried out april 5-13, 1984. it was led by fema and the department of defense and involved the coordination of 34 other federal departments and agencies.

operation garden plot is a united states army and national guard program under control of the us northern command (northcom) to provide federal military support during domestic civil disturbances. one example of the program’s implementation was during the 1992 los angeles riots when us army and marine forces were used in conjunction with the california national guard. (source)

in 2007, posse comitatus and the insurrection act, both placing restrictions and limits on military deployments for domestic use, were amended. this allows the federal government to take control over national guards and position federal troops anywhere in the country during a "public emergency." (source)

throughout the 1960's, numerous executive orders were issued authorizing federal agencies to take over essential functions in the case of a declared emergency. the powers include, among many others, the authority to take over transportation infrastructure including highways and seaports, food resources and farms, and mobilize citizens into government supervised work brigades. (source)

on may 9th, 2007, george w. bush issued executive order nspd-51/hspd-20, stating that in the event of a "catastrophic emergency" any "national essential functions" may be taken over by the executive branch of government and the department of homeland security (including fema). (source) note that the definition for a catastrophic emergency means any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage or disruption, severely effecting the us population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions.
so really, anything could trigger it when they are ready.

in august of 2002, the attorney general, john ashcroft, called for american citizens who are deemed "enemy combatants" to be detained indefinitely without charge and independently of the judiciary. (source) (google the case of hamdi and lindh)

in october of 2006, the military commissions act was passed by congress.
this applies to non-us citizens and permits individuals labeled as "enemy combatants" to be imprisoned indefinitely and without charge. it also denies non-military tribunal review of detainment (section 7), disregards international treaties such as the geneva convention, and states that it is the president who decide what constitutes torture (sections 5 & 6).

in january of 2007, the american civil liberties union released a report based on documents obtained by a freedom of information act suit showing that the pentagon had monitored at least "186 anti-military protests in the united states and collected more than 2.800 reports involving americans in an anti-terrorist threat database." (source)
in other words, if you are exercising your constitutional rights, they will put you on their list to be exposed to their unconstitutional methods.

for some time, fema has been renovating and constructing new detention camps throughout the country. in january 2006, haliburton subsidiary, kbr, announced that it had been awarded an “indefinite delivery / indefinite quantity contract to construct detention facilities for the department of homeland security worth a maximum of $385 million over 5 years. (source)

little has been said about the purpose of the detainment camps but when official comment has been made it has stated that the camps are for the temporary detainment of illegal immigrants.

citizens who are concerned about the purpose and potential use of the detainment camps have documented and, when possible, filmed the detainment facilities. a current estimate of the number of detainment camps is over 800 located in all regions of the united states with varying maximum capacities. if one includes government buildings currently used for other purposes the number is far greater.

the president has the final word on who goes to these camps, and what measures are taken within them. we don't see this as threatening right now because the president has been given a face of peace and friendliness who would never strip the american people of their freedom. we must see that there is an elite group pulling the strings of the puppets known as our presidents, the same elite group that has staged (or at least capitalized on) nearly every disaster in america. when the time is right, the perfect catastrophe will occur opening the door for a martial law environment in the us, giving the president (the elitists that control him) total power.

we sit back while they build us a place to die.
