Bill Creates Detention Camps in U.S. For 'emergencies'
Bill creates detention camps in U.S. for 'emergencies'
Sweeping, undefined purpose raises worries about military police state
By Jerome R. Corsi
Rep. Alcee L. Hastings, D-Fla., has introduced to the House of Representatives a new bill, H.R. 645, calling for the secretary of homeland security to establish no fewer than six national emergency centers for corralling civilians on military installations.
The proposed bill, which has received little mainstream media attention, appears designed to create the type of detention center that those concerned about use of the military in domestic affairs fear could be used as concentration camps for political dissidents, such as occurred in Nazi Germany.
The bill also appears to expand the president's emergency power, much as the executive order signed by President Bush on May 9, 2007, that – as WND reported – gave the president the authority to declare an emergency and take over the direction of all federal, state, local, territorial and tribal governments without even consulting Congress.
DHS ( Dept. Homeland Security) has awarded a $385 million contract to Houston-based KBR, Halliburton's former engineering and construction subsidiary, to build temporary detention centers on an "as-needed" basis in national emergency situations.
According to the text of the proposed bill, the purpose of the National Emergency Centers is "to provide temporary housing, medical, and humanitarian assistance to individuals and families dislocated due to an emergency or major disaster."
Three additional purposes are specified in the text of the proposed legislation:
SEC. 2. ESTABLISHMENT OF NATIONAL EMERGENCY CENTERS. (a) In General- In accordance with the requirements of this Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall establish not fewer than 6 national emergency centers on military installations. (b) Purpose of National Emergency Centers- The purpose of a national emergency center shall be to use existing infrastructure-- (1) to provide temporary housing, medical, and humanitarian assistance to individuals and families dislocated due to an emergency or major disaster; (2) to provide centralized locations for the purposes of training and ensuring the coordination of Federal, State, and local first responders; (3) to provide centralized locations to improve the coordination of preparedness, response, and recovery efforts of government, private, and not-for-profit entities and faith-based organizations; and (4) to meet other appropriate needs, as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security.
* To provide centralized locations for the purposes of training and ensuring the coordination of federal, state and local first responders;
* To provide centralized locations to improve the coordination of preparedness, response and recovery efforts of government, private, not-for-profit entities and faith-based organizations;
* To meet other appropriate needs, as defined by the secretary of homeland security.
The broad specifications of the bill's language, however, contribute to concern that the "national emergency" purpose could be utilized by the secretary of homeland security to include any kind of situation the government wants to contain or otherwise control.
Rep. Hastings created controversy during the 2008 presidential campaign with his provocative comments concerning Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
"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."
H.R. 645, which seeks to allocate $360 million for developing the emergency centers, has been referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and to the Committee on Armed Services.

Wild Thing's comment.......
Alcee L. Hastings, D-Fla. is the disgraced former Federal Judge, removed for bribery, and elected in one of those fake Gerrymandered districts. He is also a typical socialist and totalitarian.Someone that would fit right in with Obama and his ilk.
One of the problems with this Bill is that it depends on who is in power. Someone like Ronald Reagan I would have no worries about it. I would know without a doubt that it would be used for true emergencies like Katrina etc. But with B. Hussein Obama in power and being in the minority now that causes me concern.
Like this part of the Bill:
(f) Cooperative Agreement for Joint Use of Existing Military Installations- If an existing military installation other than a closed military installation is designated as a national emergency center, not later than 180 days after the date of designation, the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Secretary of Defense shall enter into a cooperative agreement to provide for the establishment of the national emergency center.
OK now the way I read this please tell me if I am wrong or right about it. This provision will allow BO and the socialists in Congress to close military bases consequently removing them from the military authority and thereby weakening the military,ending free speech and creating a stronger centralized form of government.
Remember when Biden came out of a briefing and said Obama would have to make “unpopular” decisions, and Obama starts targeting Rush. They know where the opposition is. It’s not in Washington- it’s in the Bible Belt. We are their nightmare.
“Mexico is within inches of a total collapse. If this happens, as Michelle Malkin said today, Venezuela and other Communist countries may take control of our next door neighbor."
Think about what is happening to Israel with its enemies across its border. They can try, but they would be making a big mistake. We’re not disarmed Russians.
Remember this..................Obama Civilian Security........
....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

I can speculate as to where the next two Military conflicts for this Country will take place respectively (meaning singly in the order designated or mentioned) 1.In America, The U.S. Military fighting against the federal government and/or obama's civilian "security" force. Sort of like in the 1939 Spanish Civil War. Which the U.S. Military will rapidly and overwhelmingly Win and we could trully restore order under The U.S. Constitution after a purge of the Capital; the outcome of which will result in SEVERE restrictions on the federal government put into place by an Amendment to the Constitution. 2.Mexico, After order is restored in the U.S. we'll have to guard against the cartels. Eventually The Military will have to enter mexico and ultimately we'll have to take control of, occupy, and set up a government there. It's either The U.S.A. takes control or the damn Venezuelans. But again this is all speculation on my part.

A little footnote about the time periods. Conflict #1 WILL take less than a week to resolve. Conflict #2 may take 4-5 years.

Hastings is a Masterpiece of Depravity.

This is the type of Bill that will get passed because it will tied into another Bill that everyone can't do without!!! And isn't it so refreshing that the drive-by media is so on top of this and informing the American public?!?!?! NOT!!!!!!
America better get off it's lazy ass and start looking at how Stalin, Lenin, and Hitler gained power!!!! "O" is doing the same thing and all the Liberal idiots are lapping it up!!!
This country is in serious trouble if things don't change pretty darn quickly!!! 2010 isn't that far away to clean House (and Senate) but if we can't get our Reps to truly represent us now, it may be too late by 2010!!!!

This typical liberal militant Washington DC CCCP whack job doesn't realize that some of US can't walk the inner-city streets now when the sun goes down!

Hastings is a real loser. I saw him once on C-SPAN. It was a committee meeting and he was proposing some far out legislation. Several other committee members all but rolled their eyes as Hastings rambled.
The way the Democrats are running government now, with their total majorities, they are going to have to begin disarming us very soon. Too many Americans are going to be ready to revolt as our government changes from a republic to a dctatorship.

Lets see here, first we have that jerkoff black panther congressman Booby Rush from Chicage and his bill which would require all gun owners to under go mental evaluations and now Hastings and his concentration camps. Combine these 2 black mental cases with the black retard who's now in charge and I see a very dangerous pattern developing. Think about this, the black population is about 13% yet all I hear or see are blacks. This could get real nasty.

Hastings and Morris Dees must be getting together to put all those Right wing radicals away in Re-education camps. This sounds extreme I know but to listen to these obamabots ramble on the Christian Right and the Right wing radicals are the most dangerous of us all.
Lord Acton was right, Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. The democrats are drunk with power and we are the powerless.
Posted by: Mark at February 2, 2009 01:32 PM
Hastings needs to be careful of what he want's. As noted that 13% of the driving force may end up there instead, if they survive. Neglecting that there are far more patriots in the silent majority who have the skills, knowledge and experiences and the I don't give a f**k attitude. He'd best not be tweaking that edge, weapons or not, they'll band together and improvise on the guerilla front. The concept of using the military against it's citizens isn't new but don't forget that the same concept has kept Turkey from becoming a total califate when they have repeatedly interceded to prevent internal take overs. Buy that ammo if you can still find it, we can't rely on our government to protect us from within much less than from just across the border.

I know what it's for--anyone who doesn't abide by Obmanation's laws will have to go to the gulag. I had a dream about this years ago when my oldest was just a baby, that some government official sent us to gulags and took our children away and would not let us have them back. It shudders my mind to think that might come true. We simply cannot allow this to happen.
What we need to do with those old military bases is to teach the homeless and indigent how to fix up the places and learn skills to run their own little towns. More taxpayers that way if you ask me.
But I'm just a girl. What do I know about politics?

JohnE PFC U.S. Army, oh wow I was just hearing today about Mexico and what is happening there. It is really getting ugly and the drug cartel is the one doing it and they might take over the government or something? It was on the radio so I only got bits and pieces of what is happening.
Posted by: Wild Thing at February 2, 2009 07:28 PM
JohnE PFC U.S. Army, thanks for the added note too.
Posted by: Wild Thing at February 2, 2009 07:29 PM
BobF., well said he sure is. I am grateful he is on the other side of Florida. But no matter where he is, he will still cause a problem.
Posted by: Wild Thing at February 2, 2009 07:32 PM
John, YIKES, see I had not thought of that. I just figured it would get shot down on it's own. But like you said, it would be put in a bigger thing and get passed and few would even know it was there.
Posted by: Wild Thing at February 2, 2009 07:34 PM
Darth,your right, and yes he is a real live walking talking idiot.
Posted by: Wild Thing at February 2, 2009 07:42 PM
Tom, LOL thanks for sharing about that. I would have loved to have seen that heh heh with their reaction to this guy.
Posted by: Wild Thing at February 2, 2009 07:43 PM
cuchieddie, it really could get nasty I agree. Our voice is not only the minority now we are itty bitty unless we can come down hard on those on our side to stop being weasels ( spelling).
Posted by: Wild Thing at February 2, 2009 07:46 PM
Mark, well said that is exactly what is happening. They are drunk with power and that scares the heck out of me. It feels like they are thinking now is our chance fellas to really get back at them.
Posted by: Wild Thing at February 2, 2009 07:49 PM
Jack AMEN and DITTO that. He better be careful and for those things you said is exactly why.
Posted by: Wild Thing at February 2, 2009 07:50 PM
Lynn, now see you ohave great ideas, that would be wonderful and useful and help people and it is something positive.
Lynn I am sorry about your dream, how awful. One thing we must always remember this is America, not Europe of long ago. These people may not want to remember history and not repeat it but we do and we know history the true one. They know better then to try this, half well almost half, Obama had 10 million more votes then Palin. But we are half of America and more on the left little by little are waking up as time goes by.
