THE Detention Camp Thread (merged)

According to Halliburton Watch, it isn't so much about a Weimar Republic scenario as it is about simply sending business to the administration's favorite contractor:

Halliburton gets 'immigration emergency' contract as prosecutions skyrocket in its hometown

Let's hope they're right, and it's just Business As Usual...

There are plenty of real dangers in the world. There's no need to get our panties in a wad over some wingnut, tinfoil news article.
The reason this news has not been widely circulated in the main line media is that there is no basis for it. Our concern over FEMA should be if they will show up on time with the goods; it's virtually impossible to believe FEMA is a danger. How can one even use the word FEMA and effectiveness in the same sentence?

A $380 million government contract to a subsidiary of Halliburton will result in a truckload on cocktail napkins. Halliburton and the gang have multi-billion dollar contracts to provide security in Iraq, build up the the electrical grid, and the oil intrastructure. Look at any of your daily newspapers the last three years, you do see even an iota of real results?

Don't be so hard on them Aahala.... Look what a good job FEMA did in New Orleans. They totally had the situation under control. Efficent , organized, ok ok I can't go on Laughing

In light of what promises to be a bigger hurricane season than last year's,I'd say the government has finally figured out that 2+2=4 and needs to prepare in advance.If they were caught with their pants down again,people might finally notice they're missing some vital parts.

It's a good point Doly.Also,why the references to 'immigrants'? I'd say it comes down to the spin you put on it.One possible inference is that they must prevent people returning to areas where basic sanitation and medical infrastructure has been knocked out.They had a problem with NOLA in that regard.Another,more frightening interpretation might be they are preparing for a pandemic.
My problem with the whole Alex Jones spin is this.I think fascism is a growing threat in all democracies:I just don't think there are enough people willing to fight it that would require internment camps.After all of its postwar success in hoodwinking populations,government has a pretty good playbook on moving people in the direction it wants to.9/11 testifies to that.

HHmm.. interesting article. After reading the article a lot of the article points to a disaster. Has anyone mentioned avian influenza as a possiblity for this contract. It seems very logical to me, "influx of immigrants", where is the first place people from Mexico will go to get supplies either medical or food.... The USA.. Just some food for thought.

I'm going to try to get a copy of the KBR contract. If and when I do, I will post it.

The National Security State is gearing up. These Dillon Aero M134D six-barrel Gatling guns are being installed to protect what? a couple vials of nuclear material at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. And the lab is going to be ringed with such firepower.
