In light of what promises to be a bigger hurricane season than last year's,I'd say the government has finally figured out that 2+2=4 and needs to prepare in advance.If they were caught with their pants down again,people might finally notice they're missing some vital parts.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('coyote', 'L')et's take Halliburton at their word at the moment, and believe that these huge camps are there to be prepared "in the event of an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S." Why is the administration suddenly worried about that?

[hotsacks]

It's a good point Doly.Also,why the references to 'immigrants'? I'd say it comes down to the spin you put on it.One possible inference is that they must prevent people returning to areas where basic sanitation and medical infrastructure has been knocked out.They had a problem with NOLA in that regard.Another,more frightening interpretation might be they are preparing for a pandemic.
My problem with the whole Alex Jones spin is this.I think fascism is a growing threat in all democracies:I just don't think there are enough people willing to fight it that would require internment camps.After all of its postwar success in hoodwinking populations,government has a pretty good playbook on moving people in the direction it wants to.9/11 testifies to that.

HHmm.. interesting article. After reading the article a lot of the article points to a disaster. Has anyone mentioned avian influenza as a possiblity for this contract. It seems very logical to me, "influx of immigrants", where is the first place people from Mexico will go to get supplies either medical or food.... The USA.. Just some food for thought.

I'm going to try to get a copy of the KBR contract. If and when I do, I will post it.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('bobbyald', 'I') always tend not to subscribe to “conspiracy theories” but I’m willing to give every point of view a fair hearing. Having done so I still believe man walked on the moon and I don’t believe in space aliens (Roswell etc) but I do believe the government lied about 911.

I think those were the tracers or shrapnel, not the actual bullets going every way but sideways. But, if this thing were used in an urban environment, it'd take out it's target, and what was behind it's target, and what was behind that, etc....
Not something that's good for crowd control.

Re: Livermore. The former Camp Parks is a mostly vacant, mildly radioactive area of the Livermore grounds that was used to house protestors in the 1980s. Camp Parks is also a standby FEMA internment facility. The gatling guns on vehicles are most likely to be used to control internees at Camp Parks when TSHTF. I am sure there are lots of people in SF and Berkeley that TPTB would like to put in Camp Parks.

PS: Of note, my long ago ex was a scientist at Livermore. Livermore got through the height of the cold war, the 1960s riots and antiwar protests without gatling guns. And back then Livermore had actual nukes. There has not been any significant nuclear material at Livermore for more than a decade. A wannabe dirty bomber could get more isotopes by raiding a hospital.

PPS: When I was a teenaged airman in SAC in the 1970s, we had a huge stockpile of strategic (big) nukes at Beale AFB. They were protected by two rows of fencing, some dogs, and a few guys with M-16s. This was when actual domestic terrorist wannabes like the Weathermen and SLA were at large in Northern California.
