Bill creates detention camps in U.S. for 'emergencies'
WorldNetDaily.com ^ | February 01, 2009 | Jerome R. Corsi

Posted on 02/01/2009 8:02:02 PM PST by Man50D

Rep. Alcee L. Hastings, D-Fla., has introduced to the House of Representatives a new bill, H.R. 645, calling for the secretary of homeland security to establish no fewer than six national emergency centers for corralling civilians on military installations.

The proposed bill, which has received little mainstream media attention, appears designed to create the type of detention center that those concerned about use of the military in domestic affairs fear could be used as concentration camps for political dissidents, such as occurred in Nazi Germany.

The bill also appears to expand the president's emergency power, much as the executive order signed by President Bush on May 9, 2007, that – as WND reported – gave the president the authority to declare an emergency and take over the direction of all federal, state, local, territorial and tribal governments without even consulting Congress.

Doesn't say much about the intelligence of American citizens who vote them into office does it? If in fact elections even mean anything anymore. I am not convinced they do.

I'll wait for a more reliable source before I descend into my bunker.

Who, on the loony left side or even a quarter of the R side, isn’t out of their minds, insane? And who is going to say so when the APA is full of the insane too.

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

SEC. 2. ESTABLISHMENT OF NATIONAL EMERGENCY CENTERS. (a) In General- In accordance with the requirements of this Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall establish not fewer than 6 national emergency centers on military installations. (b) Purpose of National Emergency Centers- The purpose of a national emergency center shall be to use existing infrastructure-- (1) to provide temporary housing, medical, and humanitarian assistance to individuals and families dislocated due to an emergency or major disaster; (2) to provide centralized locations for the purposes of training and ensuring the coordination of Federal, State, and local first responders; (3) to provide centralized locations to improve the coordination of preparedness, response, and recovery efforts of government, private, and not-for-profit entities and faith-based organizations; and (4) to meet other appropriate needs, as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security.

"Anybody toting guns and stripping moose don't care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks. So, you just think this through."

Well... Rep. Hastings, you know the ole' saying about those who live in glass houses:

"Anybody toting guns and stripping moose who believes dismembering a baby in the womb in the most violent manner imagineable is a matter of personal choice don't care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks Jews, blacks, and Christians. So, you just think this through."

Read post #27. It's real as Adolph Hitler was real. The underlying intent is to stifle any sort of dissent against socialism.

It would be nice to see some of those on billboards next to major highways. Especially around Washington, DC.

I wouldn’t worry about this, except I’m a God fearing, country loving, gun carrying, bible clinging, conservative patriot that suports the Constitution... and I’m white.
