Oliver North vs Erik Prince: Different decade, same attitude.

And the death squads roll on.

Prince looks very worried, doesn't he?

1. They even have the same haircut.

Betcha' Ollie is one of Erik's heroes.

2. Blackwater replaces Michigan Militia.

In Ollie's day, the idea was that the Michigan Militia and a bad number more of the other right-wing paramilitary groups across the nation would be deputized to do Reagan-Bush's domestic dirty work, in the event of a "national emergency." The idea was that the government would be able to circumvent the posse comitatus laws if there were mass protests against a "hypothetical" U.S. invasion of Central American nations like El Salvador or Nicaragua. Reagan-Bush thought they might need to round up undesirables, foreigners and whoever else they designated as enemies of the state.

4. Halliburton's got the contract. No-bid, probably.

A real blast from the past...

Dachau's 73rd "Grand Anniversary" Celebrated

Feds Schedule $385 Million Concentration Camp To Be Built By Halliburton Subsidiary

I am not one of the "Hitler is here!" crowd. From personal experience of federal-and-local harassment, threats of jail, being run off the road by J. Edgar's hotrodders, blacklisting from jobs and a long look at my FBI file, where I'm listed as a lefthanded, lisping incendiary leader of a mysterious Red 'Cell With No Name' alias the 'Omega cell' (I'm not kidding), I have felt the heavy hand of the ignoramus on my shoulder. Even unto emigration to Britain where, at one time, I enjoyed the attention of Scotland Yard, Special Branch, MI5, U.S. army counter-intelligence, CIA, and U.S. naval intelligence--all at the same time, stumbling over each other as in an Inspector Clouseau movie.

So you get hardened. Shrug it off. Resist paranoia. Fill your wallet with the telephone numbers of lawyers. And wait for something to happen when nothing actually does, at least to you.

Then your eye falls on a barely-noticed article in a local Southern California newspaper. You call the reporter, and he guides you to his reputable source. And the stomach-tickling fears start all over again, especially when--coincidentally--a Germanophile friend researching in the archives digs up the following from a Munich newspaper dated 1933.

First, the American news item:

The federal government has awarded a $385 million contract for the construction of 'temporary detention facilities' inside the United States as part of the Immigration Service's Detention and Removal Program. The contract was given to Kellogg, Root & Brown, a subsidiary of Halliburton. The camps would be used in the event of an "emergency", said Jamie Zuieback, an Immigration service official.

The following article appeared in a Munich newspaper in 1933 to mark the "grand opening" of Dachau, Germany's first concentration camp. This month marks the 73d anniversary:

When it comes to NAZIs, some things never change. And to think some people are called "paranoid" for bringing this stuff up.

5. ENDGAME: Office of Detention and Strategic Removal Plan

Octafish, have you seen this document?


http://www.aclum.org/endgame.pdf

"Detention and Removal Strategy for a Secure Homeland"
2003-2012


From page 2 of the 49-page document by Department of Homeland Security:


"....As the title implies, DRO provides the endgame to immigration and enforcement and that is the removal of all removable aliens. ....."

DRO=Detention and Removal Office


All of this really makes sense if one just pays attention. We are hanging by a thread from being under martial law.


This is very creepy.


BTW, great link, thanks.

6. Wow! That is HIDEOUS!

Had heard about the document. Yours is the first link to it. Downloaded and saved. Thank you, my Friend!

7. Except Prince controls the business side of the CIA

That's all Blackwater looks like to me anyway.
