Detention camps bill proposed...

[jim summers]

Just on the surface it sounds like a worthy bill, but i think you are right they just need to toss this one out and start over.

[bogus bill]

You dont think that wouldnt be for stubborn gun owners? Or how about christians that wont deny christ just before the rapture? THATS WHAT I THINK!

[Haligan]

One thing after another, their setting the board, beware when the pieces start moving.

[Lori Mick]

the crazy thing is they already have camps all over the states right now....I saw a map of them not too long ago...

and one or two of them are equipped with buildings that will gas people in large quantities...

I think it's just sickening to think that America is coming to this...

Can't we all just live in peace without all this crud?

I'm getting ready to retire....and I sure as hell don't want to live in fear for the rest of my life...

or do I have to leave the country I love so much?

sigh

this just sucks... and I'm sad and mad all rolled up into one!

[SaddleSarge]

The most frightening paragraph is at the end. If this doesn't show the agenda and what this bill is aimed at, I don't know what will:

"If Sarah Palin isn't enough of a reason for you to get over whatever your problem is with Barack Obama, then you damn well had better pay attention," Hastings said, as reported by ABC News. "Anybody toting guns and stripping moose don't care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks. So, you just think this through."- Rep. Alcee L. Hastings D/Fla

I'm only concerned with those that would strip the consitution, but there are those whose job depends on the propogation/continuation of race issues.

Lori,

Do you have a link to these camps? I'd like to know if there's any close to me.

[Lori Mick]

I have the link at home but doing a search engine here's another map...I think there's over 800 of them....they're close to ALL of us!

[GMFWoodchuck]

Well, anyone who has read the laws involving FEMA knew this stuff when Bush Sr was president and sucessfully pushed for it. It's in plain english. How do you think the whole situation happened in New Oleans? It wasn't to see if the government could help, but to see how well it could take control after chaos started.

I'm safe! I have my tin-foil hat on.

The map shows one near me on the eastern shore of Lake Ontario. I'd like to go look at it but, can't get a good location. The map is real neat and all that but, after some research, I can't find an ACTUAL location of any of them. If you find one, let me know, I'll go check it out!

Edit: OK, I'm an idiot...it says, right on the map, Ft Drum. I work on, and hunt all over, Ft Drum. Trust me ...There is no camp here or anything like one.

Thank God for tinfoil!

[cycloneman]

I may have lost the jist of the thread because I have been clicking on the links. Anyway this is my take.

The only thing I can say about this is in the event that SHTF you need to be prepaired for the worst case senero. I learned just how long it takes to get help after Katrina. I live some 65 miles from where the storm hit. I had no problems. Although we lost all services for months. I can tell you now you need over a 3 month supply of food, water, fuel and everthing to sustain life dug in at your home. You just cant be in the cities with the cahos. I don't know what you guys saw on tv back then because I had none, but I promise you LE had a hell of a time with citizens in the zoo. These people can not fend for themselves. It's crazy. I salute those brave men and women who went in there to restore order. I also have to say that I believe this is a localized thing that will happen to the city people should SHTF. People in rual areas also tend to help each other.

[RunningOnMT]

"If Sarah Palin isn't enough of a reason for you to get over whatever your problem is with Barack Obama, then you damn well had better pay attention," Hastings said, as reported by ABC News. "Anybody toting guns and stripping moose don't care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks. So, you just think this through."


So gun owners and hunters are a threat to blacks and Jews...is that it? I tell you we are facing a dangerously ignorant and bigoted mentality. Well I'd tell this numbskull that Jews and blacks are safe with me but ignorant asses such as himself SHOULD be worried. God do I hate stupidity.

[SaddleSarge]

Yes! If they don't continue to foster this idea of racism, thousands upon thousands of people are out of work. They now cannot afford to have the realization come to fruition that the task has been achieved and we are on equal footing.

We are a threat therefore due to the independence of governmental needs whereas we have 4+ generations living off of the coffers of the working tax payer.

Good God....is this America??????

I hate to be a ray of sunshine....but reading down that big list of "UN shock-force training areas" and "concentration camps" and "enclosures" listed on the bottom of the site...in some of those places I work in regularly, or have been to recently, and that is absolutely nothing true on that site about what those places do or are for.

I carefully went over that list to the installations I've worked or trained on or at in the last 12 months.

One of those places listed I recently began working there this month and live right outside the gate. My kids go to school right there. We buy our groceries at the commissary there, use the hospital there etc etc. All that "black helicopter" "fenced enclosures guard towers" is us training foreign security forces to handle their own stuff so Americans can pull out and come home. Nothing spooky or evil going on....after work we hang out and eat cajun catfish and maybe alligator and drink pepsi at the seafood joint, tell lies, keep the local tattoo artists in business, and if it gets warm chase the local bass.

I have to call bulls**t.

The UN or US Army isn't making any concentration camps.

[Vladimir]

I don't understand what a lot of these kind of people are thinking. You really think in a SHTF situation legislation for this kind of thing is going to be what matters? If the military decides to enforce rounding people up into "concentration camps" they aren't going to need legislation to do it.

It wasn't legislation that made the difference after Pearl Harbor, it wasn't legislation that made the difference after 9/11. It was the people we had put in power, and their values, morals, and personality. Not some artificial authority on a piece of paper.

[1shot1k]

10/4 Vladimir...good one ...I saw thiss posted earlyir tonight and
started to put in but htought better now am ups and had some pills andif wife was here wouldnt let me talknows but here goes let me light a cigret...

like this baloney started here ( no offensses to starters ) but makes
me stop and think and if any youse follows any my postinga or rantings just other day askeded a post about just how really is
devil bamaa.. any ways, I want to be fun like all and I guess just ignore me son if I can call you that , if not then Sir, but all jokings aside I guess main truth always comes out when needed, if the people are deserving they will get what we or they do desrving.

Yes keep common sense, yes keep provisions ammo, food , couple days anyway for any emergency but keep your families and freinda closer. Theres no bull we cant eventually handled. And ill tell you one thing if you dont know it-----all can serve this countryies and

Thanks Delta cause that was some strange stuff going around.

[bogus bill]

Lets talk about the japanise interment camps we had here. It is VERY popular to berate our goverment for what they did to all the peacefull japanise people in war two. It is suppose to be taken as fact it was our biggest sin. Maybe for 98% of them that was true. Yet, I have talked to several people that say otherwise that was part of it. I knew a man that was high up in air traffic controll in those days. He told me that in california they caught japanese farmers liveing by airfields planting bright flowers outlining the air bases!

Thanks Delta. I know there are lot of folks trying to profit from fear. I'm just trying to shift through the BS to find the truth.

Having said that, I don't trust politicians in general and Hussein in particular as far as I could throw them.

Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.

You have to realize that in both current conflicts, conventional forces and all logistics supporting such are working and living out of Forward Operating Bases (FOB's...until recently now they have a new name blahza blah) which is basically just a Fire Base, Patrol Base, or LOG Base, as most older vets will recall. Desert Storm vets will remember the Kabals probably...same thing...a FOB with a big sand berm and c-wire.

Well...everyone trains in mock FOB's in the US. Drive to Ft Polk and JRTC has "fenced enclosures guard towers" that are training FOB's. Every training post in the US Army has such...and MOUT cities...they are not concentration camps and never could be. They are Hollywood dog 'n pony shows for training. Looks real on camera....but ain't.

While I appreciate your "inside view," I'm afraid I remain totally unconvinced.
Allow me to explain, I will be brief, and I am in no way discounting you, or your opinion on this matter....

I could understand and believe the way you're viewing it if, the government were trustworthy, but it's not, and, if there was one per state.

Even that is too many.

There are over 800 of them. 800! There's only ONE reason to have that many; and it's not to help in training!

The people at the top know that the country is imploding, that the economy is NOT going to come back. This is not the stuff of conspiracy theory.

[delta13soultaker]

Well, I hear you, but most respectfully, I know there isn't one of those camps in the handful of installations listed that I am highly familiar with. I'm saying there isn't 800...I'm saying there are ZERO concentration camps.

The bill....it's nothing but a proposition to align command and control of the regions and place havens for disasters. Maybe it could be abused, but I'm wondering where they'd get the people to do so. At any rate, the websites I skimmed through with "death camp" attitudes are not credible news sources and are line by line fear mongering bull doo-doo.

It would be funny if they weren't serious...but claiming the US Army is training to capture US civilians is an absolute lie. Rounding up civilians for labor on military installations? Who ever would imagine this obviously is ignorant to the fact that the US Army has an endless pool of labor already ready 24/7...itself.

Here's the bill.

And pics of us training to capture civilians last year...or maybe we were training recruits for Iraq.

Sorry but I'm a bit defensive about my organization. The US Army is tapped out fighting wars and is ready to come home, buy cars, and make babies. We are not the force of the 60's. This one is a thinking generation that asks why and considers implications. Our Army is not the stupid, reckless, evil machine that is depicted by those fearmongering websites.

Maybe something with FEMA etc is afoot. But yall are barking up the wrong tree.
