Emergency detention plan: 'This way to the camps!'
Directive from Bush allows president extraordinary powers in national crisis


Halliburton's former engineering and construction subsidiary has a contingency contract with the Department of Homeland Security to construct detention facilities in the event of a national emergency, according to WND columnist Jerome Corsi.

As Corsi reported last week, President Bush recently signed a little-reported National Security and Homeland Security Directive granting extraordinary powers to the president in the event of a declared national emergency, apparently without congressional approval or oversight.

Houston-based KBR was awarded an initial $385 million contract in January 2006 for one year, with four one-year options extended into 2007. KBR held a previous emergency detention contract with ICE from 2000 to 2005.

KBR spokeswoman Jamie Zuieback told Corsi the primary intent of the contract was to build temporary detention facilities that could be used in the event of a mass migration crisis, but she confirmed the facilities could be employed in national emergencies, including natural disasters.

"The idea of the KBR contract is to support the Army Corp of Engineers in case we experienced a sudden mass immigration and we had to respond quickly," she said. "We would need immediate detention facilities in the form of temporary housing that would enable us to determine if the large numbers of illegal immigrants were political or economically motivated, or if they were criminals or terrorists."

5. They don't work for us, we will work for them as slaves one day.

Eating shitty Halliburton food after who knows what the BFEE is going to do. They are looking at this like it is a lucrative business transaction - not the destruction of our country.

Evil bastards never shy away from greed.

7. EXACTLY! The U.S is now their COMPANY, and the Saudis and Chinese are the major stock-holders.

OUR treasury is now BUSHCO's; OUR ports are proposed to be SOLD (okay, leased) to Dubai; OUR food supply is CONTAMINATED to cut costs by buying from CHINA; etc.

BUSHCO sees the Executive branch as NOTHING MORE THAN a means to LOOT this entire nation!!

6. A "sudden mass immigration"???!!! WTH?? This is THE most transparent BS!!!

It's called "camps for protestors", people!!!

[kimmylavin]

8. EXACTLY.

Their euphemisms are getting more and more transparent.
If their primary function is to help during a natural disaster, why not call them "shelters" instead of "DETENTION FACILITIES"???

15. Think "Vietnam 1975"

Now think "Iraq 2008".

There is a sudden mass immigration in our future. It is inevitable.

11. Will they carve "Arbeit macht Frei" over the entrances?

How did I know what the answer to the OP's question would be before I even clicked on the headline?

We should take the "In God We Trust" slogan off of the US currency and replace it with "A Subsidiary of Halliburton". Of course, that would be way too close to the truth for Bushco's taste.

14. Exactly - we are like sheep watching the wolves circle the herd...

"Well, I'm sure they mean us no harm..." and then go back to chomping on our food.

12. Is anyone getting the impression that our safety depends on a company,

any American based company, that can take those contracts away from Halliburton.

Too much power in one corporation is not good. Especially one like Halliburton who has been doing some naughty things around the world.

[Sirveri]

16. Yeah, lets give Bechtel a shot at it!

That's the ticket!

[Vinnie From Indy]

13. Halliburton isn't even an American company.

eom

[tom_paine]

17. And the Imperial Bush Family aren't even Americans

They are Global Aristocrats, belonging to no nation.
