$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Baldwin', 'W')hat I dislike is how a family should stockpile what would be priceless in a disaster yet no means to protect the supplies [read: guns].

An article co-written by a former Congressman and carried by the San Francisco Chronicle has gained much attention recently as it shines light on a coordinated federal government program to build detention camps at undisclosed locations within the United States.

"Since 9/11, and seemingly without the notice of most Americans, the federal government has assumed the authority to institute martial law, arrest a wide swath of dissidents (citizen and noncitizen alike), and detain people without legal or constitutional recourse in the event of an emergency influx of immigrants in the U.S., or to support the rapid development of new programs." write Lewis Seiler and former Congressman Dan Hamburg of the watchdog group Voice of the Environment, Inc.

Voice of the Environment's mission is to educate the public regarding the transfer of public trust assets into private, mostly corporate, hands.

The article continues: Beginning in 1999, the government has entered into a series of single-bid contracts with Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg, Brown and Root (KBR) to build detention camps at undisclosed locations within the United States. The government has also contracted with several companies to build thousands of railcars, some reportedly equipped with shackles, ostensibly to transport detainees.

According to diplomat and author Peter Dale Scott, the KBR contract is part of a Homeland Security plan titled ENDGAME, which sets as its goal the removal of "all removable aliens" and "potential terrorists." Seiler and Hamburg also warn of the alarming and numerous freedom killing pieces of legislation that have been passed recently, dovetailing with the build up of infrastructure of tyranny inside the US.

We have previously highlighted the shocking details behind this shining example of modern day corporate fascism. The issue gained national attention two years ago when it was announced that Kellogg, Brown and Root had been awarded a $385 million dollar contract by Homeland Security to construct detention and processing facilities in the event of a national emergency.

The language of the preamble to the agreement veils the program with talk of temporary migrant holding centers, but it is made clear that the camps will also be used "as the development of a plan to react to a national emergency."

Following the story, first given wide attention by Prisonplanet.com, the Alternet website put together an alarming report that collated all the latest information on plans to initiate internment of political subversives and Muslims after the next major terror attack in the US.

The article highlighted the disturbing comments of Sen. Lindsey Graham, who encouraged torture supporting then Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to target, "Fifth Columnists" Americans who show disloyalty and sympathize with "the enemy," whoever that enemy may be.

It is important to stress that the historical precedent mirrors exactly what the Halliburton camp deal outlines. Oliver North's Reagan era Rex 84 plan proposed rounding up 400,000 refugees, under FEMA, in the event of "uncontrolled population movements" over the Mexican border into the United States.

The real agenda, just as it is with Halliburton's gulags, was to use the cover of rounding up immigrants and illegal aliens as a smokescreen for targeting political dissidents. From 1967 to 1971 the FBI kept a list of persons to be rounded up as subversive, dubbed the "ADEX" list.

According to author Naomi Wolf, the National Counterterrorism Center today holds the names of roughly 775,000 "terror suspects" with the number increasing by 20,000 per month.

Discussions of federal concentration camps are no longer the rhetoric of paranoid Internet conspiracy theorists, they are mainstream news. Halliburton, through their KBR subsidiary, is the same company that built most of the major new detention camps in Iraq and Afghanistan. KBR have been embroiled in a human sex slave trade that their representatives have lobbied to continue. We have a company that has been handed a contract to build prison camps in America that is engaged in trafficking young girls and women. Can this horror movie get any more frightening? Sadly, yes. link

Well, it's better to be prepared, right? We don't want any slipshod, spur of the moment camps set up. That would be inhumane.

In order for soccer moms to keep driving thier SUVs, to the Walmart. And keep the ILLUSION going a while longer,, we are DEFINETLY going to got through a phase of Martail Law eventually. It will be just another sign that the end is nearer

The USA has one out of 100 living behind the barbed wire already. I wonder what the proper number should be because a much higher percentage is the goal... and it's clearly coming. Funny... we're not happy with 1%, so therefore a much higher number would create a happier society. I'm wondering, you know, what should peak incarceration be. 5%.... 10%... ?

There really is no hope. Get out of debt. Get out of Dodge.

If the economy would collapse, The U.S. would not have sufficient funds to transport a large group that size. I think the power will rest in the governments of the states or regions. If you can't get out of the country, move far away from their bases of operation.

Youtube video takes inside look at detention camps

Prisons work because the people inside the facility and the people outside the facility see the inmates as criminals. On any given day in any given facility the inmates can take over the insititution. They are constrained because once they take over the cell block there is no place to go. That would change if people saw the incarceration as unjust and the inmates as victims. You cannot lock up the people of the United States. You don't have enough cops. Relax.

Nice link billg. I first heard of these in the early 1990's. From airline pilots calling in to late night radio wondering what they were. They all have railroad links. So get ready lemmings, for the hard rocks at the bottom of the cliff.

This is going to be difficult. I don't even think I want any part of it. You can tell those guys to go to hell.

The day the MSM starts to report on these detention camps. I'm bugging out whether everything seems to be going fine or not because they will report it with some BS excuse to why we need them and it is in the country's best intrest to have them. When they do open them up. Good luck trying to find me.

These camps were made to be destroyed in the event they are used to house masses of Americans. Just look at them. They'd look so beautiful with an angry mob of patriots cutting the fences down with chainsaws, blowing the buildings up with improvised IEDs, and using the guards as target practice.
