    Ya know, I used to think these people were incredibly paranoid – to the point of delusional.

    I don’t think that anymore.

    The language used by fascist public officials like Janet Reno to describe everyday Americans as home-grown terrorists; the contract killing of Awlocki; the police checks in MI, TN, TX; the new law allowing US police forces to patrol the US Canadian border in Canada; the helicopter exercises over PA, Boston and NYC; drones over US cities; the militarization of the police; the anti-terrorism exercises in major cities thru-out the USA; the daily dismantling of the Constitution and Bill of Rights can only lead to one conclusion…

    The US Government has turned on its people and is preparing to incarcerate its citizenry when the economy, which they destroyed, collapses.

    The Senate just declared the USA is a battlefield.

    Ya know what? It is.

    It’s the US government against US citizens.

    This is a project requirement solicitation. In the world of government contracting, this means that KBR is expecting a real contract request to be issued shortly, and are looking for subs to help them on their bid (and they all but said so on page 2). Since KGB er..KBR already has work with FEMA/USACE someone tipped them off to the upcoming RFP.

    The regions on the map do not align to current FEMA or USACE regions. Maybe they are for the contract planning only. FEMA, like every other Federal agency, is understaffed with the kind of personnel needed to do this (like every other Federal agency, they have plenty of administrative staff), so they contract out. Like Jennings and Rall on the TV show Jericho.

    I’m not entirely sure that this bad at the root. However, what it does say to me is that FEMA is preparing for something bigger than a tornado. If they wanted to sneak something evil past the goalie, making its use look benign is the way to go about it.

    The proof will be in the RFP if/when it is released. At that point you’ll have FEMA’s requirements laid out in print.

    Dear KBR / FEMA

    I am responding to your Request For Proposal regarding your National Quick Response Team.

    Specifically, I am submitting my bid for the section titled, “Refuse Collection”.

    My solution is quite elegant and easily implemented. Simply take the 535 pieces of shit — err, “refuse” — known as Congress, and ship them to a pig farm in North Carolina and stick them upside down (head first) in a stinking pile of pig shit. That’s Phase 1. Phase 2 would constitute sticking YOUR sorry asses in the same pile of shit. I will do this at NO CHARGE!

    Sincerely,
    Herr Stuchenstinker

    P.S.; Regarding your bid for “Laudry Services” I suggest that be done by hand. You folks are real good at “hand jobs”, so it’s a natural fit.

    Detention Camp Order Follows Preparations For Civil Unrest

    KBR seeks sub-contractors to outfit “emergency environment” centers

    Paul Joseph Watson
    Infowars.com
    Wednesday, December 7, 2011

    The revelation that Halliburton subsidiary KBR is seeking sub-contractors to staff and outfit “emergency environment” camps located in five regions of the United States follows preparations over the last three years to deal with riots inside the United States that have already spread throughout Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.

    As Infowars reported last night, a document sent to us by a state government employee confirms that Kellogg Brown & Root Services are looking to activate camps built for FEMA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers across the United States.

    This follows the Senate’s passage of Section 1031 of the National Defense Authorization Act which allows American citizens to be snatched off the street and held in detention camps without trial.

    In 2006, KBR was contracted by Homeland Security to build detention centers designed to deal with “an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S,” or the rapid development of unspecified “new programs” that would require large numbers of people to be interned.

    Since 2006, the world has been beset by riots and civil unrest as a result of the fallout from the economic collapse. From the United Kingdom, to continental Europe, to the Middle East and North Africa, almost every corner of the globe has experienced social dislocation.

    Now U.S. authorities are preparing for such eventualities on home soil, with major police departments like the NYPD staging “mobilization exercises” to train police to prepare for civil disorder in the United States.

    Warnings and preparation for civil unrest coming to the United States have been voiced on a regular basis.

    Back in 2008, U.S. troops returning from Iraq were earmarked for “homeland patrols” with one of their roles including helping with “civil unrest and crowd control”.

    In December 2008, the Washington Post reported on plans to station 20,000 more U.S. troops inside America for purposes of “domestic security” from September 2011 onwards, an expansion of Northcom’s militarization of the country in preparation for potential civil unrest following a total economic collapse or a mass terror attack.

    A report produced that same year by the U.S. Army War College’s Strategic Institute warned that the United States may experience massive civil unrest in the wake of a series of crises which it termed “strategic shock.”

    “Widespread civil violence inside the United States would force the defense establishment to reorient priorities in extremis to defend basic domestic order and human security,” stated the report, authored by [Ret.] Lt. Col. Nathan Freir, adding that the military may be needed to quell “purposeful domestic resistance”.

    The United States has continuity of government plans in place should martial law be declared by the President. However, the details of those plans have been so tightly guarded that even Congressman and Homeland Security Committee member Peter DeFazio (D – OR), who has the necessary security clearance, was denied access to view the material when he requested to do so back in July 2007.

    Under the terms of the the National Emergency Centers Act or HR 645, first introduced in January 2009 and still awaiting passage, emergency camps are to be made available to “meet other appropriate needs, as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security,” an open ended mandate which many fear could mean the forced detention of American citizens in the event of widespread rioting after a national emergency or total economic collapse.

    With many Americans now becoming “pre-revolutionary” as a result of their fury at the Obama administration and equally unpopular lawmakers in Washington, potential civil unrest could spring not just from a poverty-stricken underclass, but also the shrinking middle class.

    Indeed, top elitist Zbigniew Brzezinski warned earlier this year that middle class unrest caused by economic disenfranchisement would soon hit America.

    Perhaps that’s why the Department of Homeland Security is increasingly focusing its anti-terror apparatus on white middle class Americans, portraying them as domestic terrorists in a series of PSA videos. In addition, ‘Occupy’ protesters are also now being characterized as terrorists.

    The fact that detention camps have been constructed inside America and are now being staffed and readied for “emergency” situations can no longer be ignored or ridiculed as a conspiracy theory.

    Kellogg Brown & Root need to be completely transparent and explain where the camps are located, what they contain, and during what type of “emergencies” are they planned to be used for.

    “Excitement over America’s use of drones in multiple Muslim countries is, predictably, causing those weapons to be imported onto U.S. soil. Federal law enforcement agencies and local police forces are buying more and more of them and putting them to increasingly diverse domestic uses, as well as patrolling the border, and even private corporations are now considering how to use them. One U.S. drone manufacturer advertises its product as ideal for ‘urban monitoring.’”

    Dear Chatham Police,

    Can we please collaborate in the arrest of Stucky?

    I have reviewed this website and by his own admission he attended the NYC OWS protests. While there he “followed” a police officer and “took notes”. This is an even more egregious offense than taking pictures of cops. I propose to file Federal Charges since wire-tapping and note-taking are really two sides of the same coin. I’m hoping for a 100 year prison sentence.

    I would also like to see Admin and Stucky share the same prison cell. They’ll kill each other within six months, thus saving taxpayers much money.

    Please call at your earliest convenience.

    MM: I found this link to multiple videos and descriptions of US detention camps listed by state. I honestly don’t know if this info is verifiable, and/or accurate.

    I’ve read about Rex 84 and FEMA Camps references that became prevalent after 9-11. I have absolutely no idea if these 600 camps really exist – or not.

    I really do not want to believe that US government agencies are preparing to incarcerate American citizens in prison camps. I don’t. But it happened during WWII. It could happen again.

    Five years ago I would not have believed the US government would turn so completely on its people. But it has.

    My point was, there is a bureaucrat with a piece of paper that lays out a plan to incarcerate Americans. My experience with big gov is – if there’s a piece of paper with an approved program and/or plan with a management team in place – it’s real.

    http://www.apfn.org/apfn/camps.htm

    The upcoming FEMA RFP is a real cause of concern for me. We’ll have to wait for the official document to emerge – but once it does, I would like for all of us to crowd-source and interpret and verify its terms.

    We have a game changer called the internet. Social media. Cell phones that take pictures. Instant world-wide communication. A whole different dynamic. Nothing stays hidden for longer than a few nanoseconds.

    To be able to hide from public view a large staffed FEMA prison camp … well, that’s one helluva good conspiracy! And virtually impossible to pull off.

    Why is merely asking for solid proof (pictures and or videos, actual interviews with staff members) such an unreasonable request?

    I agree with you. I certainly don’t want to believe it either. I am also convinced that it CAN and probably WILL happen … at some point in time … just not yet.

    Even Germans living near the concentration camps KNEW something was going on. All those staff members coming and going. And that wasn’t the smell of bread baking early in the morning.

    I guess the biggest problem I have is with these FEMA camps being “staffed”. How can people come and go, and live in the neighborhood … without anyone ever noticing anything? Seems pretty unlikely.

    Even an “empty” camp presents problems. It would take quite some effort and lots and lots of people to build a sprawling prison complex. All those people somehow managed to keep silent? Bah humbug!

    Homeland Security Contracts for Vast New Detention Camps

    New America Media, News Analysis/Commentary, Peter Dale Scott, Posted: Feb 08, 2006

    Editor’s Note: A little-known $385 million contract for Halliburton subsidiary KBR to build detention facilities for “an emergency influx of immigrants” is another step down the Bush administration’s road toward martial law, the writer says.

    BERKELEY, Calif.–A Halliburton subsidiary has just received a $385 million contract from the Department of Homeland Security to provide “temporary detention and processing capabilities.”

    The contract — announced Jan. 24 by the engineering and construction firm KBR — calls for preparing for “an emergency influx of immigrants, or to support the rapid development of new programs” in the event of other emergencies, such as “a natural disaster.” The release offered no details about where Halliburton was to build these facilities, or when.

    To date, some newspapers have worried that open-ended provisions in the contract could lead to cost overruns, such as have occurred with KBR in Iraq. A Homeland Security spokesperson has responded that this is a “contingency contract” and that conceivably no centers might be built. But almost no paper so far has discussed the possibility that detention centers could be used to detain American citizens if the Bush administration were to declare martial law.

    For those who follow covert government operations abroad and at home, the contract evoked ominous memories of Oliver North’s controversial Rex-84 “readiness exercise” in 1984. This called for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to round up and detain 400,000 imaginary “refugees,” in the context of “uncontrolled population movements” over the Mexican border into the United States. North’s activities raised civil liberties concerns in both Congress and the Justice Department. The concerns persist.

    “Almost certainly this is preparation for a roundup after the next 9/11 for Mid-Easterners, Muslims and possibly dissenters,” says Daniel Ellsberg, a former military analyst who in 1971 released the Pentagon Papers, the U.S. military’s account of its activities in Vietnam. “They’ve already done this on a smaller scale, with the ‘special registration’ detentions of immigrant men from Muslim countries, and with Guantanamo.”

    Plans for detention facilities or camps have a long history, going back to fears in the 1970s of a national uprising by black militants. As Alonzo Chardy reported in the Miami Herald on July 5, 1987, an executive order for continuity of government (COG) had been drafted in 1982 by FEMA head Louis Giuffrida. The order called for “suspension of the Constitution” and “declaration of martial law.” The martial law portions of the plan were outlined in a memo by Giuffrida’s deputy, John Brinkerhoff.

    In 1985, President Reagan signed National Security Decision Directive 188, one of a series of directives that authorized continued planning for COG by a private parallel government.

    Two books, James Mann’s “Rise of the Vulcans” and James Bamford’s “A Pretext for War,” have revealed that in the 1980s this parallel structure, operating outside normal government channels, included the then-head of G. D. Searle and Co., Donald Rumsfeld, and then-Congressman from Wyoming Dick Cheney.

    After 9/11, new martial law plans began to surface similar to those of FEMA in the 1980s. In January 2002 the Pentagon submitted a proposal for deploying troops on American streets. One month later John Brinkerhoff, the author of the 1982 FEMA memo, published an article arguing for the legality of using U.S. troops for purposes of domestic security.

    Then in April 2002, Defense Dept. officials implemented a plan for domestic U.S. military operations by creating a new U.S. Northern Command (CINC-NORTHCOM) for the continental United States. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld called this “the most sweeping set of changes since the unified command system was set up in 1946.”

    The NORTHCOM commander, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld announced, is responsible for “homeland defense and also serves as head of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD)…. He will command U.S. forces that operate within the United States in support of civil authorities. The command will provide civil support not only in response to attacks, but for natural disasters.”

    John Brinkerhoff later commented on PBS that, “The United States itself is now for the first time since the War of 1812 a theater of war. That means that we should apply, in my view, the same kind of command structure in the United States that we apply in other theaters of war.”

    Then in response to Hurricane Katrina in Sept. 2005, according to the Washington Post, White House senior adviser Karl Rove told the governor of Louisiana, Kathleen Babineaux Blanco, that she should explore legal options to impose martial law “or as close as we can get.” The White House tried vigorously, but ultimately failed, to compel Gov. Blanco to yield control of the state National Guard.

    Also in September, NORTHCOM conducted its highly classified Granite Shadow exercise in Washington. As William Arkin reported in the Washington Post, “Granite Shadow is yet another new Top Secret and compartmented operation related to the military’s extra-legal powers regarding weapons of mass destruction. It allows for emergency military operations in the United States without civilian supervision or control.”

    It is clear that the Bush administration is thinking seriously about martial law.
    Many critics have alleged that FEMA’s spectacular failure to respond to Katrina followed from a deliberate White House policy: of paring back FEMA, and instead strengthening the military for responses to disasters.

    A multimillion program for detention facilities will greatly increase NORTHCOM’s ability to respond to any domestic disorders.

    Stucky’s request is perfectly reasonable, as are TeresaE’s concerns.

    As an old Mickey Mouse Club viewer, I long ago decided that every day was Wednesday, which for those of you not privileged to have worn the ears, was “Anything Can Happen Day” and have lived my life accordingly as best I could. Sometimes, you eat the b’ar, sometimes the b’ar eats you: I think it prudent to try to plan for the latter possibility without waiting for the jury to come in, so to speak. Continuing the barrage of quotes and cliches, let’s not forget “If you build it, they will come,” which, turned about, is “If they build it, you will go.” Or not.

    Not unreasonable Stuck, but there are plenty of areas in this country that are 100% cordoned off from prying eyes – and fly-overs.

    Besides I don’t think the “camps” are being created and called “FEMA camps.”

    I’m thinking it is more down the lines of things that are happening/being built, then explained away as things we shouldn’t worry about.

    Like the fact the National Guard Armory near my shop has had tanks and expandable field tents in their back yard for over five years. We were told it was for “disaster and terrorism.” Just like we were told that the new cameras that are now pointed at my shop are for the same.

    Everytime we are told we have nothing to worry about, seems it isn’t many years later that we figure out we should have worried a lot.

    Stucky (and everyone else),

    “Bearraid” was probably correct about KBR getting their ducks in a row with regard to having subcontractores ready once an (official) FEMA/USACE RFP (Request for Proposal) comes out. I am a civil engineer (water resources) and I have dealt with FEMA and the USACE for years. Just like othe governmental entities, they have consultants/contractors that have an “inside track” with them due to past work or the fact that these companies hire retired high-level engineers and administrators that give them an inside track on new contracts that are about to come out. This si well-known and not anything that should surprise anyone.

    Now, as for the KBR/Halliburton “FEMA Camps” from the mid-2000s, that was a real RFP and ID/IQ(i.e., Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity) contract that KBR won when it was still a subsidiary of Halliburton. Hmmm, I seem to remember that a former two-time Secretary of Defense and Vice President used to be CEO of that company…but I digress. An ID/IQ contract does NOT guarantee a certain amount of projects nor a certain timeframe for those projects to be finished within, although they (usually) are to be done within the timeframe specified by the ID/IQ contract. So, we will not know how many camps or the details of where they were built, unless we were to file a FOIA request and they actually told us where they are (good luck). I will tell you that I have talked to some senior engineers (Senior VP level) of a couple of companies that I worked with here in Texas and there are definitely areas at Fort Hood and Fort Bliss where most people (including military personnel) are not allowed to visit. Fort Hood is one of the largest bases in the world, by-the-way. I won’t go into this more, except to say that one senior engineer had questions as to why certain amounts of money and equipment were being spent and supplied to these areas, which seemed to not jive at all with what the civil project was (supposedly) being designed for.

    So, here’s a link to the NY Times article about the earlier KBR contract: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/04/national/04halliburton.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

    Now, it says that these camps are “temporary” and for “illegal” immigrants. I find this hard to believe, especially as a Texan, considering that I see illegal immigrants all over the place and there is a Day Laborer office right across the street from the light rail staion that I go to every weekday. Seems to me that if they buitl these camps for the illegals over five years ago, then why have they not been roungding THEM up and placing them there? Oddly enough, the ICE document that describes how these camps should are to be run and who will be plaed within them (scary if your read the document) is called “Project Endgame”. Quite ironic name for that, considering the name of Alex Jones’ movie of a few years ago. Anyway, there is so much more I could go into, but many of you on here will already know most of it and it would take too much time to go into it here.

    ***Footnote*** Sorry for the typos all over my last post. The text is very small, and I didn’t do a good job proofreading it before posting. Plus, I was a bit upset about what is going on, as a combat veteran myself, and an Oath Keeper, and a Texan (don’t consider myself an American any longer, sorry to say).

    No worries, osuredleg. Didn’t notice the typos cause the content was so compelling.

    So, where there’s smoke, there’s fire?

    Wonder if Admin, as a registered blogger, could make a FOIA request for the docs on Ft Hood?

    Might as well get a look-see at our new digs…

    SSS: Thanks for the video link. Love the tune and find myself humming along whenever it comes on the car stereo.

    First time I saw the video. Beautiful scenery. Do you know where they shot the group scenes?

    Love to visit there someday…

    MM – you’d check at https://www.fbo.gov/. You can search by Agency at that site, it will puke out any open RFPs that apply. I know the contractors we use have spiders that root out the info, I just hack and poke.

    Stewart Rhodes, Oath Keepers founder, to appear on Baldy and The Blonde radio show

    Stewart Rhodes will be on the Baldy and the Blonde show today, December 7, at 5:05 Central Standard Time. You can listen to the show live at the below link, or you can listen afterwards to a recording which will also be posted on the show’s website (see below for a that link). Topic for the one hour show will be provisions authorizing military detention of US citizens in S. 1867, the National Defense Appropriation Act and how it is but the latest in a long train of abuses by all three branches of government that seek to apply the laws of war to the American people, just as if they were a conquered enemy nation, like Iraq or Afghanistan. Stewart will discuss historic precedents, recent federal case law, and the practices of both the Bush and Obama administrations, and how this directly relates to the Oath Keepers mission.

    Took a few minutes, but I found the answer to your question on the Nickelback video, “First time I saw the video. Beautiful scenery. Do you know where they shot the group scenes?”

    I was gonna guess the mountains back from the coast of central California (San Luis Obispo, where the Hearst mansion is located), but, nope, the countryside scenes were shot in South Africa and the city scenes in London.

    Hey Everyone

    Don’t forget what happened to over 100,000 Japanese American citizens after Pearl Harbor (today is the 70th anniversary of the attack). That should brighten you day.

    Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests won’t work with classified projects. So forget it. You’re wasting your time.

    Besides osuredleg’s suggestion of Ft. Hood and Ft. Bliss in Texas as a place to build these camps, there are many other huge military installations in all five sectors of the country noted on the KBR map, such as Ft. Campbell, Kentucky and Eglin AFB, Florida. And the federal government can use nearly the entire state of Nevada, where it owns 90% of the land.

    Tnx for mention of Japanese internment.

    http://articles.latimes.com/2011/may/24/nation/la-na-japanese-americans-20110525

    “Acting Solicitor Gen. Neal Katyal says one of his predecessors, Charles Fahy, deliberately hid from the Supreme Court a military report that Japanese Americans were not a threat in World War II.”

    Stucky

    Have a look at Ft Hood TX on Google Maps, notice the detail …
