Hidden threats -- Part I
-------------------------------------------------------

For several years now I have been getting all sorts of
wild reports about "Government Internment Camps." I
have generally dismissed these rumblings as classic
right-wing paranoia, extrapolation of facts not yet in
evidence, or creative writing. However, recently,
additional information has been revealed which lends
credibility to the myriad concerns which have been
expressed. Hey, even paranoids get chased.

The U.S. Army director of resource management has
confirmed the validity of a memorandum relating to the
establishment of a civilian inmate labor program under
development by the Department of Army. The document
states, "Enclosed for your review and comment is the
draft Army regulation on civilian inmate labor
utilization" and the procedure to "establish civilian
prison camps on installations."

Civilian internment camps or prison camps, often
referred to as concentration camps, have been the
subject of much rumor and speculation during the past
several years in this country. Various publications,
Internet threads and some radio talk programs have
focused on the issue.

However, I found it significant when Rep. Henry
Gonzalez, D-TX, clarified the question of the existence
of these civilian detention camps. In an interview Hank
said, "the truth is yes -- you do have these standby
provisions, and the plans are here ... whereby you
could, in the name of stopping terrorism ... evoke the
military and arrest Americans and put them in detention
camps." Heck, we did it before (to Americans of
Japanese descent), we could do it again.

This is not anything new. This is not a partisan
Democrat/Republican, or Conservative/Liberal issue. It
may have just recently been actually acknowledged, but
it has a history.

Most even modestly educated folks know that Hitler did
it, and Stalin did it. However, you should know that
the venerable Franklin Delano Roosevelt also developed
a plan for the United States. In fact, on Aug. 24,
1939, ole FDR met with FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover to
develop the detention plan for us. Five months later,
Hitler opened the Auschwitz detention center in Poland.

Hoover met with Attorney General J. Howard McGrath on
Aug. 3, 1948 to detail a plan whereby President Truman
could suspend constitutional liberties during a
national emergency. The plan was code-named "Security
Portfolio" and, when implemented, it would authorize
the FBI to summarily arrest up to 20,000 persons and
place them in national security detention camps.
Prisoners would not have the right to a court hearing
or habeas corpus appeal. "Security Portfolio" allowed
the FBI to develop a watch list of those who would be
detained as well as detailed information on their
physical appearance, family, place of work, etc. This
was long before sub-dermal bio-chip implants, retinal
scans and other biometrics.

Two years later, Congress approved the Internal
Security Act of 1950. This pre-FEMA puppy contained a
provision authorizing an emergency detention plan. It
is real interesting that Hoover was not satisfied with
this law because it did not suspend the Constitution
and it guaranteed the right to a court hearing (habeas
corpus). For two years, while the FBI continued to
secretly establish the detention camps and work out
detailed seizure plans for thousands of individuals,
Hoover kept badgering Attorney General McGrath for the
official permission to ignore the 1950 law and move on
with the more aggressive 1948 program.

As evidence that we have waaaay too many laws, codes,
rules and regulations, it wasn't until the Senate held
hearings in December of 1975 (25 years later) that it
was revealed the ongoing internment plan had never been
terminated. The report, entitled, "Intelligence
Activities, Senate Resolution 21," exposed the covert
agenda. In a series of documents, memos and testimony
by assorted government informants, the reality emerged
of the designs by the federal government (our
government) to monitor, infiltrate, arrest and
incarcerate a potentially large segment of American
society. That Senate report also exposed the existence
of the Master Search Warrant (MSW) and the Master
Arrest Warrant (MAW) which, by the way, are currently
STILL in force today.

The MAW document, authorized by the attorney general of
the United States, directs the head of the FBI to:
"Arrest persons whom I deem dangerous to the public
peace and safety. These persons are to be detained and
confined until further order." Please note the
language, "Whom I deem dangerous." Who might a Janet
Reno choose to arbitrarily and capriciously "deem
dangerous"? Constitutional Conservatives? Patriots?
Conservative Republicans? Radio Talk Show Hosts? Joe
Farah and everyone on the administration's enemies
list?

The MSW also instructs the FBI director to "search
certain premises where (1) it is believed that there
may be found contraband, prohibited articles, or (2)
other materials in violation of the Proclamation of the
President of the United States. It includes (3) such
items as firearms, shortwave radio receiving sets,
cameras, propaganda materials, printing presses,
mimeography machines, membership and financial records
of organizations or groups (4) that have been declared
subversive, or may hereafter be declared subversive by
the Attorney General."

I added the numbers for ease of the following:

1. "it is BELIEVED that there MAY be" -- Hell-o?!?!?
No probable cause needed. Just Because. Because
they can by brute force.
2. "other materials in violation of the Proclamation
of the President of the United States" -- Huh?
Proclafreakingmation?!?!?
3. "such items as firearms ..." -- The EXACT reason
we have the Second Amendment is to preclude this
kind of neutering. The framers WANTED us armed to
prevent abuse of power under the color of
authority.
"shortwave radio receiving sets" -- Silence the
critics, and deny INFORMATION to the people.
"cameras" -- To prevent the dissemination of
abuses of power?
"propaganda materials" -- Like Thomas Paines'
"Common Sense" or a contemporary WorldNetDaily.
"mimeography machines" -- Expect that to turn into
fax machines, computers and modems.
4. "that have been declared subversive, or MAY
hereafter be declared subversive by the Attorney
General." -- In other words, "facts which
contradict the administration's preconceived
opinions" or anything which does not conform with
the politically correct government sanctioned
view.

Hidden threats -- part 2
-------------------------------------------------------

Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't
have film.

Last week, I reluctantly shared with you part one of
some of the hidden threats "We the People" face from
our government leaders. Despite the remarkable response
from readers, I want to underscore that none of this is
really new. All this information, and more, has been
circulating in the constitutional conservative
community for years. Much of this kind of documented,
factual information is pooh-poohed as the paranoid
ramblings of the radical right- wing wackos by "the
controllers" who would treat us like mushrooms.

I have often noted that some people just don't want to
be confused with facts which contradict their
preconceived opinions. The director of resource
management for the U.S. Army has confirmed the validity
of a memorandum relating to the establishment of a
civilian inmate labor program under development by the
Department of Army. The document states, "Enclosed for
your review and comment is the draft Army regulation on
civilian inmate labor utilization" and the procedure to
"establish civilian prison camps on installations."
(Chereith Chronicle, June 1997)

In the wake of Senate hearings in 1975, the steady
development of highly specialized surveillance
capabilities, combined with the exploding computerized
information technologies, have enabled a massive data
base of personal information to be developed on
millions of unsuspecting American citizens. It is all
in place awaiting only a presidential declaration to be
enforced by both military and civilian police.

In 1982, President Ronald Reagan issued National
Security Directive 58 which empowered Robert McFarlane
and Oliver North to use the National Security Council
to secretly retrofit the Federal Emergency Management
Agency to manage the country during a national crisis.
In 1984 "REX exercises" simulated civil unrest
culminating in a national emergency with a contingency
plan for the imprisonment of 400,000 people. REX '84
was so secretive that special metal security doors were
installed on the FEMA building's fifth floor, and even
long-term officials of the Civil Defense Office were
prohibited entry. The alleged purpose of this exercise
was to handle an influx of refugees created by a war in
Central America, but a more realistic scenario was the
detention of American citizens.

STATE OF EMERGENCY

Under REX, the president could declare a state of
emergency, empowering the head of FEMA to take control
of the internal infrastructure of the United States and
suspend the Constitution. The president could invoke
executive orders 11000 through 11004 which would:

1) Draft all citizens into work forces under
government supervision;
2) Empower the postmaster to register all men,
women and children;
3) Seize all airports and aircraft;
4) Seize all housing and establish forced
relocation of citizens.

FEMA, with a black budget allegedly provided by the
Department of Defense, has worked closely with the
Pentagon in an effort to avoid the legal restrictions
of Posse Comitatus. While FEMA may not have been
directly responsible for these precedent-setting cases,
the principle of federal control was seen during the
Los Angeles riots in 1992 with the federalization of
the National Guard and during the siege at Waco, where
Army tanks were involved in the final conflagration.

GOVERNMENT VIOLENCE IS "LEGITIMATE"?

The deputy attorney general of California commented at
a conference that anyone who attacks the state, even
verbally, becomes a revolutionary and an enemy by
definition. Louis Guiffreda, who was head of FEMA,
stated that "legitimate violence is integral to our
form of government, for it is from this source that we
can continue to purge our weaknesses."

It is significant to note that the dictionary
definition of terrorism -- "the calculated use of
violence" -- corresponds precisely to the government's
stated policy of "the use of legitimate violence." Hold
on, a reasonable person who can read might ask: Who are
the real terrorists? Guiffreda's remark provides a
revealing insight into the thinking of those who have
been charged with oversight of the welfare of the
citizens in this country. Apparently, if one's
convictions or philosophy do not correspond with the
government's agenda, that individual may find himself
on a government enemy list thereby making him/her a
"target" to be "purged" by the use of "legitimate
violence."

The stories of the 56 men who signed the Declaration of
Independence are the stories and sacrifices of the
American Revolution. These were not wild-eyed,
rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of
means and education. They had good lives, which
included security, but they valued liberty more.
Despite the comfort of their life style they pledged:
"For the support of this declaration, with firm
reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we
mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes,
and our sacred honor." Honor ... honor is not and
should not be an anachronism. Sadly, it is a principle
and concept fading into obscurity.

History books don't tell us much of what happened in
the Revolutionary War. We didn't just fight the
British. We were British subjects at that time and we
fought our own government! No wonder our founding
fathers had a hatred for standing armies, and allowed,
through the second amendment, for everyone to be armed.

Philosopher George Santayana once noted, "He who does
not learn from history" (Russia, Germany,
Czechoslovakia, China, et al.) "is destined to repeat
it."
