A new bill introduced in Congress 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 centers" to be located on military installations for the purpose of to providing "temporary housing, medical, and humanitarian assistance to individuals and families dislocated due to an emergency or major disaster," according to the bill.
The legislation also states that the camps will be used 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".
Ominously, the bill also states that the camps can be used 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.
Many credible forecasters have predicted riots and rebellions in America that will dwarf those already witnessed in countries like Iceland and Greece.
With active duty military personnel already being stationed inside the U.S. under Northcom, partly for purposes of "crowd control," fears that Americans could be incarcerated in detainment camps are all too real.

Chemtrails, Amero, Fema Camps, financial collapse, the evidence is mounting even for the CT deniers. Hope y'all are ready for what's comin.

I used to run around like a chicken with his head cut off, whining about the end of the world. 4 years later, it's still not here :) In this case, I'm not worried. let me tell ya why.
These camps have been set up for decades, just in case. If a meteor hits in the ocean and a tsunami leaves million homeless, you like to have a 'Plan B' in place just in case. If Mex shuts down and 60 million ppl cross the border in a month, yeah, we need a plan B. And yeah, if a global $ crisis does arrive and there is turmoil here, it's actually useful to have some sort of crowd mgmt system in place to lock up the A-holes who would be starving and robbing/killing others because they didn't prepare for the storm everyone saw coming.
If the shit hits the fan, stay at home with your rifle living off the food ya have there. Wait it out. Recovery comes because there are three billion people on the planet who go to work each day, and true world economic value resets at a lower, more sensible volume. Where we are today - way overvalued, obviously, and everyone's seeing it now.
I'd probably be more pissed it congress WASN'T making some sort of Plan B for crowds of idiots who might get all obnoxious if things get tough. They wouldn't just lock up anyone... I mean, there are 310 million ppl here. It'd be the morons who realize their McD isn't open and begin melting down, hitting up other for food, etc. The smart ones of us will stay home, wait it out, and protect ourselves.
So smile... :) Ya can't change shit that happens anyway, all you can affect is how you prepare for it.

No one is yelling the world is going to end the world is going to end. We are talking about the end of US sovereignty and things of that nature. And your pacifist attitude is part of the reason we are in this mess. "ya can't change shit that happens......" ???????? ::) Everyone can make a difference EVERYONE!

I don't think it's pacifist thinking. It's reality thinking. France and iceland and whoever else - they were unable to stop teh ppl from getting all rowdy.
If the shit hits the fan here, will I be getting all rowdy? hell no. I'll be at home locking down the fort, looking out for local idiots trying to take what is mine.
Obama just hired a team of strong supporters of the constitition, and he was a constitutional law professor himself. He's undoing everything Bush just did to F up the consitution. I think he'll do what he feels is right to protect people. Do I like the idea of camps? Of course not. But what I like a lot less, is the idea of a million idiots driving aorund the country feasting on smaller, weaker people, if we do experience a time of turmoil. Do I think bands of looters should be rounded up and put in prison until things get better? Of course.
I have no clue what'll happen with the economy. I hope it recovers. But these camps have been there since the 80s at least, and many say the 60s. CTers undermine their cause for legit addressing of events like 911 when they try to forward-think about things like these.

You have really been doped up lately.
Holder is the most anti- 2nd amendment AG in a long time and things the 2nd amendment is a collective right. How does that support the constitution when the SC just said it is a individual right?????????????
Get real man take your knee pads off for awhile.

pace ac bello merita = pace and to wage war deserving (latin to english translation)
The triangle within the circle is a symbol of magical importance to witches. It represents the protection of the circle and the power of the triangle. It is also associated with the occult and used to procure the servies of demons in various rituals.
Fema are good people. They just forgot to look up the real meaning of some of the crap on their logo. I'm not worried a bit :-\
