Doesn't look all that sinister; #4 is ambiguous at best.

Ambiguous? Nope. That is a blank check issued by an unelected official on our dime, to be used however he/she sees fit.

I do not place much faith in Government, which lately is a ravenous creature, devouring the rights and treasure of the people and our posterity, but this requires a level of trust in that institution I reserve for God himself. Power has a nasty habit of being the instrument by which even the most well-intentioned are corrupted.

Not all that sinister??? Ambiguous at best???

Well I would disagree whole heartedly with your first comment and I would say in regard to your second comment, that it is sinister and a blank check & authorization for the government to decide when/what/where & who these camps should be targeted for. We don't need the government under any circumstances to create special "National Emergency Centers" which sound very much like Orwell's Ministry of Truth centers. The socialist-fascist left is constantly pushing the edge of the envelope to re-create the USSA in their deranged & violent ways. Signs of the times......
