Sassy black helicopter humor is fine, but it doesn't answer the
question as to what this is and where it comes from. Maybe someone
should do a snopes.com test on it, huh?

Google will tell you a lot, if you do a few searches.

As I understood these camps, Clinton was behind them, he used FEMA to set up for martial law.

As I recall, it was FEMA's plans that were the foundation of the new Homeland Security Department.

You almost never hear of FEMA in the news today, but when
Clinton was in office, they were in the news hourly.

I forget the exact meaning of FEMA, it is something like
Federal Emergency Maps and before Clinton took office, it was where one could buy things like the latest projected flood zone maps.

I heard over and over, that the camps were to hold members of the militia.

I have heard recently, that they are to be used if the Feds need to evacuate an area after a WMD strike.

Do they exist? Yes, and also closed prisons and old military bases would be used.

They have been used in the past and will be again.

Everyone talks of the Japanese we placed in the camps, few know that there were also prison camps for the German soldiers that were captured and brought here, till the war was over.

My husband was a guard in a German prison camp, after he was
rescued in Germany from a German POW camp. Montana as I recall. He was too sick, for years, from a bullet through his lung, so the Army made him a guard here.

So, are they real, yes, I think so. The purpose would be for the "need of the day". Earthquake or war, who knows?

FEMA is the Federal Emergency Management Agency. It's been in existence for a whiel, at least since President Nixon. FEMA Web site. They've got a lot of safety and preparedness information there. After September 11, 2001, they were wrapped into the Department of Homeland Security.

Wait until a hurricane approaches the United States...you'll hear of them again.

Yep. A lot of them were down South, too. Camp Perry, in Ohio, was also a POW camp. Nowadays people pay good money to stay in the POW huts, during the National Rifle and Pistol Matches.

Of course, the majority of the Japanese placed in camps by the U.S. Government without trial were U.S. citizens, unlike the German POWs who were not U.S. citizens.
