US Martial Law and Domestic Detention Camps as of December 1, 2004

[OneBlueSky]

very comprehensive summary of contingent federal powers to control everything and everyone in the event of a domestic insurrection or other disturbance . . . revealing and disturbing, to say the least . . .

http://www.tbrnews.org/Archives/a1280.htm

In the event of civil insurrection or physical resistance to U.S. government policies, the official machinery is now in place for swift containment of areas of insurrection by U.S. military forces, to include the various State National Guards, Special Forces and Military Police units.

(snip)

Under President Bush's "National Strategy For Homeland Security", FEMA will be placed under the Office of Homeland Security. Both Homeland Security and the Department of Defense planned to participate "in homeland security training that involves military and civilian emergency response", provoking comparison to Rex-84. And now, the Bush administration is moving to give FEMA disturbing new responsibilities.

Currently (December, 2004), President Bush and Homeland Security have authorized preliminary studies for the rapid construction of a National Detention Center Program-controlled series of detention centers, to be added to the existing 600 units now in place

The Department of Homeland Security is consulting with an Israeli company, Israeli Prison Systems, Ltd. for the expedited construction of modular internment camps‘ Interment Camps’ generally located in rural and relatively uninhabited areas throughout the Continental United States and Alaska. .

2. "There over 600 official detention camps now...

designated in the United States, all fully operational and ready to receive prisoners. They are all staffed by full-time guards, but they are, at present, not occupied. The majority of the camps can house a population of 20,000 prisoners."

That makes several million prisoners... And new ones are allegedly being built. Terrible to imagine.

3. do you have any links to

these new camps that are 'being built'?

[neweurope]

4. Did I misunderstand something? It's from this link -

that OneBlueSky posted.

"Currently (December, 2004), President Bush and Homeland Security have authorized preliminary studies for the rapid construction of a National Detention Center Program-controlled series of detention centers, to be added to the existing 600 units now in place

[DustMolecule]

5. I think that first line alone is pretty scary....

In the event of civil insurrection or physical resistance to U.S. government policies...

What type of government policies could POSSIBLY cause this level of insurrection/resistance that 'they' are imagining/planning for? :shrug:

8. 44% of Americans feel that Muslims' liberties should be curtailed.

Just a short step from rounding them up for the concentration camps.

Another terrorist attack and that number would probably double.
