A new bill introduced in Congress (on 1-22-09) authorizes the Department of Homeland Security to set up a network of FEMA camp facilities to be used to house U.S. citizens in the event of a national emergency.

The National Emergency Centers Act or HR 645 mandates the establishment of “national emergency centersâ€

LOL....they've already had them set up.....it's only been a question as to who they are for.

This is similar to the guarded camp-like conditions that the poor were placed into in Russia in the 1920's. During that time people resettled themselves in different locations of the country with the permission of the military and could come and go whenever they wanted.

Then one day they locked down the camps and anyone caught leaving without permission from a guard was ordered shot to death. The inhabitants in these these camps were then sent to work as slave laborers under Lenin and Stalin, some were even forced to mix cement with their bare hands in sub-zero winter weather and many died of fatigue and malnourishment in logging camps. Some would just drop to the ground and when not able to get up as ordered, would get shot to death for not following orders. Some were just too tired to work safely and would die after being hit with a log or saw.

The change from freedom to slavery came instantanously; all that was needed was for the population to trust the military and put themselves under their care.

They just introduced this bill right? I say we fight this as hard as we would fight amnesty.

300 million Americans.... how many soldiers will it take to put us all in camps???

Probably part of the new jobs program to put people to work.

I'd say that's the case among the younger generation especially AB.

But there is also the prevailing attitude that such things could never happen here because this is the United States.....those kinds of things always happen somewhere else to someone else.

Bill creates detention camps in U.S. for 'emergencies'
Sweeping, undefined purpose raises worries about military police state

Rep. Alcee L. Hastings, D-Fla.

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.

Heed the warning of a former Hitler Youth who sees America on the same path as pre-Nazi Germany in "Defeating the Totalitarian Lie" from WND Books!

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.

As WND also reported, DHS 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.

(Story continues below)



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:

* 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.
