So many things are happening in our government that alarm me that I have started to voice my concerns. Having grown up in America, I have always been taught that I have freedom of speech, but that sharing was necessary. My Mother taught me to listen to my conscience and use tact. My Father taught me that my liberty stopped where the next person's liberty starts. My Father taught me what an honest day's work was and to respect the boss. My Mother taught me to stand up for what I thought was good and just and not go along with the crowd if it was not proper. So with that training I started questioning the actions of my government and its officials. Too many situations just didn't seem right.
Disagreement is the enemy in California
Imagine my recent astonishment as I learned of laws, one after the
other, that did not allow me to speak my piece. Consider my alarm when
I determined that federal agencies were in place to put me away if I should
get too feisty. Picture my dropping jaw when I read the following quote:
The Deputy Attorney General of California commented at a conference that anyone who attacks the State, even verbally, becomes a revolutionary and an enemy by definition. Louis Guiffreda, who was head of FEMA, stated that "legitimate violence is integral to our form of government, for it is from this source that we can continue to purge our weaknesses."
Those are strong words. They came from my state deputy attorney general. One can not help but wonder if he had ever heard of the Bill of Rights. Obviously, history is repeating itself, for those words must surely have been uttered by the King of England as he disenfranchised the Founding Fathers of America. Then a former head of the powerful FEMA states that the more we object, the more OUR government will retaliate.
Something is bad wrong here, folks. And whatever it is, it is getting worse. At every turn in life, it seems, there looms another road block from my government, almost always in blatant violation of our Constitution and its inherent Bill of Rights.
This essay deals with the laws and policies enabling prison camps for us civilian Americans and the possibility of OUR government putting us there for demanding the return to our Constitutional Republic.
Three quotes from an excellent article by The Winds set the chilling stage:
In a revealing admission the Director of Resource Management for the
U. S. Army confirmed the validity of a memorandum relating to the establishment
of a civilian inmate labor program under development by the Department
of the Army. The document states, "Enclosed for your review and comment
is the draft Army regulation on civilian inmate labor utilization" and
the procedure to "establish civilian prison camps on installations. " Cherith
Chronicle, June 1997. Civilian internment camps or prison camps, more
commonly known as concentration camps, have been the subject of much rumor
and speculation during the past few years in America. Several publications
have devoted space to the topic and many talk radio programs have dealt
with the issue.
However, Congressman Henry Gonzales (D, Texas) clarified the question of the existence of civilian detention camps. In an interview the congressman stated, "the truth is yes - you do have these stand by provisions, and the plans are here. . . whereby you could, in the name of stopping terrorism, evoke the military, arrest Americans and put them in detention camps. "
Well, there are the words. OUR government has plans for us. Am I proper to say that we will go along with their status quo or go along to the prison camps? Thinking back to WW2 (which should not have been fought), I remember when MY government took many of my high school friends and their families away. I could not understand. Now I do. And now I learn that those same camps are not only still with us, but many of them are being renovated. But this is peacetime. Where is my thinking in error? What am I missing? The only solution that answers all questions is that MY government is planning another war and will inter American citizens in those prison camps. But what are we doing? The only answer that I find is demanding the return to our Constitutional Republic. That would sever the control by the BBLs. So, perhaps that is the answer. (BBLs are billionaire banklords.)
Let's see what else they have planned.
It is interesting to note that the big internment camps started in the same era in 1933-48 in three big experiments in socialism: the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany and the United States under Roosevelt. Truman ended up with a plan for the FBI to arrest up to 20,000 prisoners and place them in prison camps. Their rights to court hearing and habeas corpus would be suspended. The FBI was authorized to develop files on the prisoners and their families. In 1975 a long active internment plan surfaced. It provided for the federal government to monitor, infiltrate, arrest and incarcerate a great many people.
Of grotesque interest when they surfaced were the MSW (Master Search Warrant) and the MAW (Master Arrest Warrant). They are in force today! The MAW gives the U. S. Attorney General power to direct the FBI to arrest and detain indefinitely anyone they wish. The MSW gives power to the FBI to search any premises selected by the President or the Attorney General. Since 1975 OUR government has been amassing detailed files on us as they continue to develop spy equipment and weapons for quelling civilian masses. It is all ready to go whenever the President decides to use it.
Incidentally, how well do you guys get along with Janet Reno, Bill Clinton and Al Gore?
In 1982, Reagan issued National Security Directive 58, setting the stage for the next act of the play. FEMA can now take over the nation when the President declares an emergency, a power he now holds. REX adds additional dictatorial powers. Military exercises have rehearsed the quelling and interning of 400,000 civilians. Small wonder reports of 100 alleged prison camps started rolling in. Here are some of the powers now in the hands of our President:
STATE OF EMERGENCY
Under "REX" the President could declare a state of emergency, empowering
the head of FEMA to take control of the internal infrastructure of the
United States and suspend the constitution. The President could invoke
executive orders 11000 through 11004 which would:
1. Draft all citizens into work forces under government supervision.
2. Empower the postmaster to register all men, women and children.
3. Seize all airports and aircraft.
4. Seize all housing and establish forced relocation of citizens.
FEMA, and certainly REX, have been developed under tight security.
The DOD (Department of Defense) finances FEMA through its black budget,
thus preventing even Congress from gaining knowledge of the operation.
The DOD works closely with the Pentagon "in an effort to avoid the legal
restrictions of Posse Comitatus".
Here we see the secrecy element again. And again, I ask why? Our tax dollars are being used to build a defense against us. I am not seeing any common sense to all of this. I do keep seeing the ominous threat of a dictatorial take-over by the BBLs (billionaire banklords). This is why this site is providing reliable information to all of you, my people, in hopes you will awaken and force Congress to revert back to our Constitutional Republic before it is too late.
Government control has been witnessed at WACO, Ruby Ridge and the Gulf
War. Government without us can be witnessed in the acts of the IRS, BATF,
CIA, FEMA and Federal Marshals. There is more, much more.
