The ACLU is calling the Republicans the equivalent of the NAZI's. So not they are building concentration camps. I wonder if they thought to include ovens? Maybe burning corpses will be their solution to energy shortages.

$385 million dollars is a lot of money.
Say it cost them $50./sq. ft. to build barrack style shelters.That's close to 8 million square feet of barracks.Knock off a third for infrastructure and security.Say 5 million square and allow 50 square feet per person.That's housing for 100.000 people...er,citizens.

Some distantly related piece of history you might need to brush up on when looking at today's events...

FEMA has had some crude holding facilities (little more than fenced fields on government lands) on standby for over 20 years. A few like Pearblossom in Palmdale, CA have a little more infrastructure. But really they have a long way to go if they are to be used for anything more sophisticated than Cambodian style killing fields.

Enter Halliburton. They also have the contract to build the new, larger, and permanent camp at Gitmo. With huge supplies of tax dollars, they will finally give red state America what it wants, a modern full service Gulag.

The Republicans are Nazis? Nah. Kunstler's got it right: the Repubs are the people who get you so disgusted with the government that you beg the Nazis to take over and set things straight.

Here's Halliburton's page with the announcement:

KBR AWARDED U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY CONTINGENCY SUPPORT PROJECT FOR EMERGENCY SUPPORT SERVICES

"...an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract..."

They can build as many of these concentration camps as will be required in order to...

"...support the rapid development of new programs."

"New programs?" Oh, really? And just what might those "programs" be???

And here's the press release carried by Reuters, the only mainstream news source I could find on it.

Let's take Halliburton at their word at the moment, and believe that these huge camps are there to be prepared "in the event of an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S." Why is the administration suddenly worried about that?

It's probably completely unrelated, I know, but I'm beginning to wonder what Hitler said to explain the building of concentration camps.

Nazis or Stalin ? Not quite, but as the desperation grows (and we're not even trying to alieviate it) we could find ourselves there.

1930's politics here we come....

A few weeks ago I would have said that this thread was going too far.
The USA being compared to the Nazis is just too ridiculous.

However, having done the PO bit to death, I’ve recently been catching up on 911, Bohemian grove, The Illuminati, Iraq, Iran, Gold, the dollar etc. and I must say it certainly is interesting reading.

I always tend not to subscribe to “conspiracy theories” but I’m willing to give every point of view a fair hearing. Having done so I still believe man walked on the moon and I don’t believe in space aliens (Roswell etc) but I do believe the government lied about 911.

For me the turning point was the pictures of the Pentagon after the supposed plane crash but before the wall collapsed. You don’t need to be an expert or accept anything anyone else says just look at the video/pictures and make your own mind up. I have done this and cannot see how a plane crashed here and so the government lied.

Once you can establish that your dealing with a group of people that are so extreme and have so little respect for human life then everything else must be seriously questioned.

Recent events in the USA don’t look good and things are deteriorating much quicker than I thought possible – Why the hell are they taking away people’s rights and why are they building these camps?
