The Army National Guard is now recruiting individuals to fill job positions described as an internment/resettlement specialist according to job postings on Monster.Com and other employment based Internet sites such as one listed here. In other words, they are recruiting individuals to man facilities that could be used to house political dissidents, so-called terrorists and other individuals that the government doesn’t like. The term “resettlement” indicates that individuals holding this job position could also be responsible for moving people to other locations against their will. It is a documented fact that the U.S. government has numerous facilities at their disposal that could easily be used to house large numbers of people. Combine that, with this new job posting by the Army National Guard, and it seems as if the U.S. government is continuing to prepare for an eventual popular uprising.
Let’s look at some of the evidence we have of the U.S. government’s intentions to establish the infrastructure that could be used to house large numbers of political dissidents, so-called terrorists and other individuals the U.S. government wants locked up.
HR 645 the National Emergency Centers Establishment Act is a proposed bill in the U.S. House of Representatives that would authorize FEMA to build no less than six National Emergency Centers throughout the U.S. on closed or open military facilities. These facilities are to be designed to house large numbers of people. Why would emergency centers need to be built on closed or open military facilities unless there was a need to keep people from coming in and out of them?

Yeah,Right!
Cite the cases.
ordinarily id throw on the tinfoil bonnet over a story like this, nowadays, waitin could prove fatal...
damn useless eaters...
To sum up and make it simple: hundreds of Japanese spies on our West Coast had to be stopped without revealing we had broken the Japanese code. This is why Roosevelt signed the internment order. I never ceased to be amazed at the number of people in this country who are damned to repeat history.
How do you know this?
Did your acquaintance say what kind of population they are for?
No.
Maybe you could ask him?
If it ever happens, the troops won’t come from the military, they will be recruited from the street gangs.
I found it!
"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set... We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded."

If I knew where he was I’d ask him in a second but this conversation took place in 2005.
As I posted above, U.S. intelligence broke the Japanese code early in World War II, and through Japanese telegraph traffic learned that several hundred Japanese aliens and Japanese-Americans living on the West Coast of the U.S. (and in Hawaii monitoring the 7th fleet) were functioning as spies for Imperial Japan. They monitored Naval activities and movements, shipping, and in addition had infiltrated a number of defense plants. Had they been arrested, the secret that we had broken the Japanese code would have been revealed and our intelligence compromised. The Constitution does not required us to surrender to our enemies early in any war. To sum up and make it simple: hundreds of Japanese spies on our West Coast had to be stopped without revealing we had broken the Japanese code. That is why FDR signed the internment order. Had he not done so, there is a halfway decent chance that I, born on the West Coast, would be speaking Japanese today. I recommend you search out the book I mentioned, it provides useful context for thinking about these matters.
Under this administration, no tin foil required.
Thanks!
And who is going to be interred? I suspect they’ll be some dead people on their side long before I am in a camp.
“Do you really believe the men and women who are currently defending your freedom with their lives are suddenly going to become boot jack fascists? “
Do you really need real-world examples from our own history? Bonus Army, anyone? We have cops who do nasty things and enjoy doing them. Don’t even begin to try to say the military is pure as the wind driven snow.
Can you cite the source for your "understanding?"
“I so want to play, but I have other things going on today.”
Understandable. This media is nice for getting to things when it is convenient.
“all was shades of gray”
The “fog of war” is ever present, no matter what the commanders do to try to improve things.
“To sum up and make it simple: hundreds of Japanese spies on our West Coast had to be stopped without revealing we had broken the Japanese code.”
And thus the conversation comes down to methodologies, rather then philosophies on individual liberties. Would there have been other methods to deal with the situation without shipping them all to the middle of the country? Certainly, but progressives have never been terribly concerned about individual liberty (and still are not). I think you would agree that the methodology was Draconian. Regardless, though FDR and Lincoln took their actions in war time, less scrupulous executives have taken similar egregious steps in peacetime. We find ourselves in times that are equally as perilous, yet there is not a clear declaration of war to mark the path.
There will come a time, when a President will use his power to deny civil rights to even greater numbers within our citizenry for political gain alone. If not the current occupant of the WH, then others in the future. It is incumbent upon those that think about such issues (and I number you among the legion here at FR that are keen to it), to raise hell when it begins. There are signs that it is has begun already, so it is wise to stomp out the first sparks before a conflagration occurs.
I think we are beginning to see the limits to which a significant percentage of the population will tolerate inroads on their liberties. In other societies, this has not ended well. I suspect even the next year could provide some rather extreme examples of government/citizenry conflict. In my former career, I was something of a professional cynic, so my headware has a bit of tin in it. “When the balloon goes up” I will not be terribly surprised at its occurrence. I’m starting to feel the beginnings of a rather itchy feeling. Hopefully, it’s not going to progress, but I fear that it will.
I think it’s about ready to get interesting. Your thoughts?
