Patriot Paranoia: Hayden Takes on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Top Ten Conspiracy Theories
In this multi-part series, I’ll be offering responses to each of the SPLC’s Top Ten Conspiracy Theories. Part 1 – Chemtrails, can be found here. You can see my other articles covering the SPLC “paranoia” here, here and here as well.
Southern Poverty Law Center‘s Conspiracy Theory #2 - Martial Law
Quoted from their website -
If Patriot groups fear anything more than the water vapor in the sky, it is the imminent imposition of martial law. A longstanding and central plank of the Patriot catechism is the belief that one day — very soon! — federal forces, in league with the states, will suspend constitutional government and institute a police state.
During the first few years after the 9/11 attacks, this fear was also discussed on the left. But what was a temporary concern there has long been an absolute certainty on the far right. Today, hundreds of Patriot groups around the country are actively preparing for the declaration of martial law, some of them by mapping wilderness areas, learning how to set booby traps, studying and practicing guerrilla warfare tactics, and setting up short-wave radio communications systems. The question is not if, but when, the New World Order will come crashing down.
Patriot groups believe the legal groundwork for the inevitable imposition of martial law is being laid in Washington, within the pages of a steady stream of classified National Security documents and directives. At the local level, meanwhile, they suspect town and city governments are also in on the plan, as evidenced by their passing of emergency powers ordinances.
Once the legal mechanisms are in place, all that’s needed is a “crisis trigger,” for which Patriots are constantly on the lookout. Whether this trigger is real or manufactured matters less than the fact that it will succeed in frightening the population into submission and be used to justify suspension of the Constitution. This crisis trigger could take any form. Common scenarios suggested on Patriot discussion boards include economic collapse, followed by massive social unrest; a global (and likely government-created) pandemic; multiple acts of mega-terrorism (again, featuring government collusion); or possibly a fraudulent presidential election, resulting in rioting in major cities around the country.
Patriot groups often refer to the unelected junta that will rule the coming police state as a “metropolitan government.” This language, like the martial law scenario, has a long pedigree. As Patriot/survivalist Don Harkin explains in the Idaho Observer, a conspiracy rag popular among militia groups: “Metropolitan government was exposed in the late 1950s by Jo Hindman. … [Today] this unconstitutional form of government is being implemented all over the country — particularly in the nation’s more densely populated areas such as Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Portland and Seattle.”
Once the “metropolitan government” is instituted, most Patriots are certain they will immediately be rounded up and sent to internment camps — which takes us to our third conspiracy, FEMA Camps.
Southern Poverty Law Center‘s Conspiracy Theory #3 - FEMA Concentration Camps
Following the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City by Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Domestic Terrorism held hearings on the Patriot/militia subculture that bred and nurtured the bombers. Throughout the hearings, a running theme expressed by Patriots was a fear (Hayden’s abbreviated edit:) …[of gun confiscation]…. then send the members of Patriot militias or dissident citizens to internment camps run by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which most Patriot groups consider to be “the executive arm of the coming police state.”
The renewed chatter about “FEMA concentration camps” took many forms. Glenn Beck promised to “look into it.” Films such as “Camp FEMA: American Lockdown,” featuring conspiracy-monger Alex Jones, have been wildly popular on conspiracy-driven websites like martiallawsurvival.com, outselling all previous conspiracy-driven pseudo-documentaries. Aerial photographs, each supposedly showing secret government holding facilities, went viral on the Web. And of course, former Governor and Navy SEAL Jesse Ventura’s latest television series looked into the idea of FEMA camps on TRU TV, an episode that went viral within hours of debut.
A careful review of some of the photographs carried out by Popular Mechanics editor James Meigs made clear that the visual “evidence” was bogus in every instance. For example, a photograph of an alleged secret prison was actually a North Korean work camp. Other photographs showed nothing more sinister than well-known National Guard training centers and Amtrak rail yards. (Hayden’s Note: Keep this in mind. While a police officer in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, the Federal officials turned our Amtrak station into an internment camp and prison, complete with large dog kennel-like cells on the rail platform, excessive brutality and employing the NYPD’s Dept. of Corrections to handle jail operations. Much more about this in my rebuttal…)
Just as the agencies responsible for air travel and air quality have tried to respond to the chemtrails conspiracy allegations, so, too, has FEMA gone on record reassuring Americans that it has no intention of abrogating the Constitution or rounding up citizens. An internal FEMA memo, however, made clear that agency brass understands the losing-battle nature of trying to quell the conspiracies. “Most people know us as the agency that responds to natural disasters,” the memo read. “Others believe we have a somewhat sinister role. For the latter, it is not realistic to think that we can convince them otherwise and it is advisable not to enter into debate on the subject.”
Hayden’s Note:
For simplicity and because the idea of martial law and internment camps seem to run so closely together, I’ll be addressing both subjects in my rebuttal.
Definitions -
FEMA: The Federal Emergency Management Agency is an agency of the United States Department of Homeland Security, initially created by Presidential Order on 1 April 1979. The primary purpose of FEMA is to coordinate the response to a disaster that has occurred in the United States and that overwhelms the resources of local and state authorities.
Martial Law: …is the imposition of military rule by military authorities over designated regions on an emergency basis – usually only temporary – when the civilian government or civilian authorities fail to function effectively (e.g., maintain order and security, and provide essential services), when there are extensive riots and protests, or when the disobedience of the law becomes widespread.
As I research the endless ways in which to counter the SPLC’s idea that martial law is impossible and irrational, I look to our founding documents for guidance on the fundamentals. You may be familiar with the Posse Comitatus Act and the original Insurrection Act. If not;
The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385) passed on June 18, 1878, after the end of Reconstruction, with the intention (in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807) of substantially limiting the powers of the federal government to use the military for law enforcement. The Act prohibits most members of the federal uniformed services (today the Army, Navy, Air Force, and State National Guard forces when such are called into federal service) from exercising nominally state law enforcement, police, or peace officer powers that maintain “law and order” on non-federal property (states and their counties and municipal divisions) within the United States.
The statute generally prohibits federal military personnel and units of the National Guard under federal authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within the United States, except where expressly authorized by the Constitution or Congress. The Coast Guard is exempt from the Act.
The Insurrection Act of 1807 is the set of laws that govern the US President’s ability to deploy troops within the United States to put down lawlessness, insurrection and rebellion. The laws are chiefly contained in 10 U.S.C. § 331 – 10 U.S.C. § 335. The general aim is to limit Presidential power as much as possible, relying on state and local governments for initial response in the event of insurrection. Coupled with the Posse Comitatus Act, Presidential powers for law enforcement are limited and delayed.
On September 30, 2006, the Congress modified the Insurrection Act as part of the 2007 Defense Authorization Bill.
Section 1076 of the law changed Sec. 333 of the “Insurrection Act,” and widened the President’s ability to deploy troops within the United States to enforce the laws. Under this act, the President may also deploy troops as a police force during a natural disaster, epidemic, serious public health emergency, terrorist attack, or other condition, when the President determines that the authorities of the state are incapable of maintaining public order. The bill also modified Sec. 334 of the Insurrection Act, giving the President authority to order the dispersal of either insurgents or “those obstructing the enforcement of the laws.” The law changed the name of the chapter from “Insurrection” to “Enforcement of the Laws to Restore Public Order.”
Senator Leahy remarked on September 19, 2006, “we certainly do not need to make it easier for Presidents to declare martial law. Invoking the Insurrection Act and using the military for law enforcement activities goes against some of the central tenets of our democracy….”
Luckily, rational members of Congress were able get it repealed it in it’s entirety under the 2008 Defense Authorization Bill. It should be noted however, when President Bush signed the 2008 Act into law, he also issued a signing statement which, though vague, seems to declare that he does not recognize the new limitations. The reason that this is very important is that it shows the Executive Branch is seeking this power and believes it is entitled to it lawfully. A basic understanding of the Constitution would quickly prove otherwise. But did that stop them from trying to gain these powers again? Most certainly not.
In January of 2010, President Barrack Obama signed Executive Order 13528. This order, which establishes a “Council of Governors” appointed directly by the President, is for the expressed purpose of circumventing The Posse Comitatus and Insurrection Act and building a national/domestic police partnership. The opening statement of this order reads:
“By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 1822 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-181), and in order to strengthen further the partnership between the Federal Government and State governments to protect our Nation and its people and property,” it is hereby ordered as follows…
Gary D. Barnett explained it nicely when he said,
“This executive order was issued for one purpose only, and that is to build a “legal” partnership between the federal government’s national military force and the domestic police state so that they become one and the same. But in reality, this “partnership” would be controlled by the executive branch of the federal government; this being the most dangerous kind of fascism. Nothing could be more treacherous or more of a threat to liberty than for one man, the president of this now “United State,” to have the power to control and use in domestic matters the entire federal military, the National Guard, the Reserves, the Coast Guard and all state police organizations. This would effectively give the president the power to establish Martial Law over the entire country at any given time of his choosing.”
A lengthy list of other Executive Orders that could easily allow for the complete takeover of the United States, including power, communications, transportation, food and fuel by the Executive Branch can be found in my article here, Martial Law, Economic Meltdown and Executive Orders.
A brief reading of Section 2 of Executive Order 13528 describes and outlines the functions of this new “partnership” and “Council of Governors,” documenting who is involved and what is intended to be shared. It lists the Dept. of Homeland Security, Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, NORTHCOM, Intergovernmental Affairs, Secretary of Defense, National Guard and many, many more.
“Besides the fact that virtually every major agency of force, both federal and domestic, is listed [within Section 2], the one standout is the inclusion of the United States Northern Command or “NORTHCOM.” On October 1st, 2008, the 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team, an elite combat squad returning from Iraq, became the first active-duty military unit to be dedicated and deployed for domestic duties. They are under direct control of U.S. Army North, the Army service component of NORTHCOM. In addition, 20,000 more federal troops are to be added before 2011. Of course, this violates the Posse Comitatus Act and the original Insurrection Act; those two acts that forbid the federal government from using the military for domestic law enforcement…”
Hurricane Katrina & Martial Law, 2005
During Hurricane Katrina, I was able to witness many of these breaches of the Posse Comitatus Act and Insurrection Act firsthand. As a New Orleans police officer, I was on the front lines of the chaos that ensued and was able to witness many things you only see in movies, in some far off 3rd world country. And this was very clearly done before the Posse Comitatus and Insurrection Acts were ever modified; this was long before the President’s new Executive Order and Council of Governors. This was during a period where it was clearly defined in the law - Federal Troops can NOT be used for domestic law enforcement.
Many people mention this when talking of the standoff that happened in Waco, Texas many years ago at the Branch Davidian building. The ATF and other Federal agencies were at a stand-still and requested military vehicles and support. Publicly, they were turned down due to the Posse Comitatus Act. The military could not assist the Federal Agents in enforcing domestic laws.
But in New Orleans, no one seemed to care when the Humvees rolled down Bourbon Street, with thermal-imaging cameras mounted on the roof and federally-controlled troops at the helm (first on-scene were the Oklahoma National Guard due to the Louisiana National Guard being deployed overseas, therefore both under Federal control). Everything from Chinook helicopters to Blackhawks, combat medics to infantry were patrolling the neighborhoods and streets of New Orleans. Although completely illegal, it went unspoken due to the deteriorated state that the city was in. Months passed and the troops were still on the streets, in an ever-increasing presence with assault weapons. Federal troops began making traffic stops in their Humvees, displaying red and blue police lights or simply boxing vehicles in and forcing them to physically stop. They began making municipal and state arrests, including narcotics violations, stolen vehicles and simple trespassing. It continued escalating, with the police department starting to train many of them in how to write NOPD incident reports and arrest reports.
By the next year, during Mardi Gras (February and March 2006), troops under Federal control were assigned to the parade routes and major intersections. Large infantry trucks and Humvees were seen everywhere throughout the city. Uniformed troops were posted at street corners, weapons slung at the low-ready. But no one said anything.
I was assigned to the parade route, as I volunteered for it each year due to the community interaction. I began talking with several soldiers, asking them under what authority were they able to block streets, carry weapons within the city and enforce our local and state laws? Several seemed stunned by my questions and had no answer. One intrepid young MP pulled a folded-up paper from his pocket and presented it to me. It was a faded, copied page from the Governor’s original Declaration of Emergency.
He simply said, without being able to explain, “That gives us the power to be the police…that’s why we’re here.” I looked at him in amazement, speechless. I had to explain to him in very blunt terms that he was not a police officer. He was not a commissioned member of any law enforcement agency and most certainly was not a sworn officer, vested with the authority and responsibility to enforce New Orleans municipal law and state codes. His only rebuttal was his little folded paper, yet again.
The stories that I’ve heard and the incidents I’ve witnessed from Hurricane Katrina would frighten most if they ever heard them and give pause for the reality of martial law here in America, even for the staunchest of government supporters.
Amtrak Railyard Detention Centers
I’ve heard a million and one stories about Amtrak railyards being used for internment and detention. I’ve seen the YouTube videos of large railyards, supposedly ready to house thousands within their barbed-wire fences and herded onto railcars like cattle. While some videos are rather interesting, they provide hardly any credible information or evidence of their actual purpose – only speculation and assumptions.
On or around the middle of September, 2005, when the Federal agencies and other supporting departments arrived in New Orleans to assist with Katrina and began setting up their camps and getting settled in, I began to witness some very disturbing events. At the time, I had been a police officer for roughly two years; still with my rookie mentality of “arrest everyone, let the Judge sort’em out!” But Katrina changed that very rapidly.
While patrolling the streets of New Orleans, I would pass literal convoys of NYPD and California Highway Patrol cars, headed the opposite direction on some unknown assignment. Lacking radio communication with the hundreds of various agencies in town, it was impossible to coordinate anything unless a liason was assigned to that particular unit. With 600 deserters within the NOPD alone, that task was simply impossible and so these other agencies were, at best, being directed by the Feds and very loosely and vaguely from the top brass of the New Orleans Police Department.
Due to the flood waters engulfing Central Lock-up (the nation’s largest municipal jail, even though it served a city of only 500k), the Union Passenger Terminal (Amtrak station) located at 1001 Loyola Ave was turned into the new lock-up. My first interaction with this place was when my partner and I had arrested a looter who was a bit unruly. After 15 minutes of lousy radio communications and trying to figure out where to take prisoners, we were directed to the Amtrak station. While enroute, the arrested subject continued to spit at my partner and I, constantly tried to bite us and once inside the Amtrak Station, began cursing and screaming at everyone who would look his way. While this happens occasionally with drunks, apparently those in charge of the new “detention center” were none too thrilled.
We were approached by several uniformed members of the New York Police Department’s Correctional team, who were effectively operating and in command of the jail in New Orleans. After placing a bag over the subject’s head, they took him towards a back room that was cordoned off. The arrested subject was kicking, screaming and fighting the entire way down the hall. After six or seven minutes had passed, they returned with the prisoner, who was now crying and apologizing. He was then handed off to another DoC member who eventually took him out to the rail platform where large dog kennel-like cages were placed in between the support beams of the platform. Each cage had a porta-john toilet and nothing else, many of them housing anywhere from five to fifteen prisoners. Officers from various agencies stood guard on the platform, some visibly armed with shotguns.
During my many trips to this “detention camp,” the cages were always filled with arrestees yelling for a phone call, to speak with their attorney or asking what they were being charged with. Some were even asking where they were at. Many times, the response from the law enforcement agents standing watch would be a 12 gauge beanbag round fired into the thigh or pelvis.
Martial Law Mentality
Over the next few weeks, things began operating somewhat smoother, with municipal logistics starting to regain their composure but the police, Feds and military still controlled every faucet of the city, including anyone coming into or attempting to exit New Orleans. Effectively, the city was under lock and key and you could not move without fear of being arrested, shot or harrassed by anyone from the California Highway Patrol, Border Patrol, FBI, military, local cops, Texas Rangers, small town sheriffs from Nebraska or Utah, Immigration and Customs Enforcement or the plethora of SWAT Teams who had descended upon the city, some even driving cross-country in their armored vehicles. Even the police weren’t safe – several were threatened by foreign private security contractors, namely the Israelis, and denied access to certain streets and neighborhoods.
The city imposed a strict curfew, with everyday citizens getting caught in the net while many of the criminal element knew how to avoid the police and went unscathed. Businesses of all types began to be harrassed – diners, cafes, coffe shops and especially bars. Many times, a half dozen Humvees would roll up to these businesses and order everyone to disperse under threat of arrest. Obviously, most people immediately complied but after awhile, people began to resist this oppressive tactic. Businesses began locking their doors shortly before curfew times in order to discourage customers being out after the city-mandated decree and also to avoid the penalties for having patrons inside after 7 or 8pm. But even then, troops and local cops would threaten to kick in the doors if they were not granted immediate access. Mass arrests were soon made at numerous cafes and bars, many times an hour before the city-imposed curfew took effect.
I happened to respond to one of these events. When I arrived on scene, I found a dozen troops with M16 rifles and another dozen NOPD officers huddled around four citizens, all handcuffed together. Some of them were crying, some were just silently sobbing, asking what was going on. When one particular Sergeant’s authority was questioned by a small female, he slapped her and exclaimed, “Take’em all to jail! F*ck’em! Write’em up for curfew charges…” At this point I intervened and began asking what exactly he planned to charge them with as there were no city or state laws regarding curfews for adults. When I tried to explain to him that if he wanted to proceed properly, he would have to find the emergency powers act and cite specific sections of that for the violation – instead, he said it was easier to simply arrest them all using the the municipal Juvenile Curfew code.
Something to take note of is that these were regular citizens, trying to rebuild their lives and make sense out of just losing everything they owned, myself included. These were not looters, criminals or insurgents. These were doctors, construction workers, students, relief and medical responders and of course the famous New Orleans restaurant personnel.
After arguing with the Sgt. and other officers for a bit, I was instructed to “get off the scene…” The sheer mentality of what I was witnessing was that of power-hungry, jack-booted Nazi thugs. This doesn’t even scratch the surface of what happened during those months, including officer-involved murders, mass theft and blatant looting by law enforcement, including Lt’s and Captains, and more.
My point is that when traditional social rules break down, it takes only days – if not mere hours for a Gestapo-like police state to exist. In fact, even without outside influences and legal precedants, many police officers will naturally progress towards this herd mentality, especially if encouraged or informed that they have special/emergency authority. In an almost tribal sort of way, the police department fractured and groups of officers began doing anything they wanted. Some maintained their patrols and attempted to provide law and order. Some took over private homes, others took over businesses, schools or gas stations. Other groups of officers merely went on killing sprees, literally. No business or personal property was safe due to the police having been granted [falsely] “the authority to seize and confiscate what was needed,” even from private possession with absolutely zero oversight.
Gun Confiscation Under Martial Law
Obviously, I can’t mention New Orleans and Katrina without touching on the rampant gun confiscation that occurred. The NRA, ABC, Fox and many more reported on this at length but focused on what Superintendent of Police Compass said when he stated, “…no one will be armed…only law enforcement will be allowed to have guns….” What many of the mainstream media failed to address was the literal door-to-door searches that were conducted by the military and various police agencies. By now, most people have seen or read about the elderly lady who had her revolver brutally confiscated from her. But what goes unsaid is the fact that members of the New Orleans Police Dept and supporting military units were instructed to seize all firearms in an effort to “take back the city.” While searching each house for bodies or survivors, officers would “confiscate” any firearms discovered in empty homes. Very few of these ever made it into the hastily-set up “Central Evidence & Property” location. Even when citizens were encountered with legally owned firearms, they were disarmed at gunpoint, brutally beaten with 2×4′s, pipes or pistol-whipped and most have never been able to recover their weapons, even 5 years later.
Reports from a group who were crossing the Ponchartrain Lake by boat to enter the city state that St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Deputies stopped and boarded their boat, seized all firearms and ordered them to turn around.
One citizen, JoAnn Guidos, owned a pub in New Orleans. After the hurricane, she kept the pub open for two weeks serving drinks and food to neighborhood people, law enforcement officers, and press. She didn’t want to evacuate because she was afraid of looters coming through and destroying the place and burning it down, which she claimed happened all around the area.
After a couple weeks, Guidos and friends decided to lock up and leave, since it was still very hot and humid and there was still no power. While loading up her van to leave she had her Browning shotgun and .38 revolver on her, when five U.S. Marshals armed with M-16s saw her and forced her to give up her weapons. Despite her request, no ID nor receipts were given by the Marshals.
In November of 2008 she completed the paperwork to receive her weapons, and never heard back. The New Orleans city attorney Papai claimed he contacted her several times, and even showed a letter he sent to her, but the letter was dated three weeks previous to her filing of the paperwork.
I could cite hundreds of examples of this, but the clear fact is that law enforcement and city leaders took it upon themselves to disarm the population and violate their 2nd amendment rights. The water had long ago receded and dried up; their reasoning behind violating citizen’s rights were due to the power and lights still being out and theft occurring. As the Southern Poverty Law Center would have you believe, conspiracy theorists think that some major, national disaster must occur (“some “trigger”"), ending all life as we know it before martial law and gun confiscation begin. All it took in New Orleans was a flood and suddenly Federal, State and local officials threw their sworn oaths in the trashcan and began acting like lawless rogues - all on their own.
National Level Exercises and FEMA Camps
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), along with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other government institutions conducted an 8-day anti-terror and disaster exercise from May 1st through May 8th 2008 called National Level Exercise 2-08. I covered this exercise in great detail while I was still on the air, co-hosting the radio show Truth is Treason using press releases from FEMA and U.S. Northern Command as source material.
According to those reports, the federal government had leased out the entire National Cattle Congress fairgrounds until May 25th for the exercise and began moving large trailers, mobile homes, barbed-wire fencing and electrical and mechanical systems such as heating and air into the fairgrounds. Initial speculation and theories thought that the involvement of ICE was a cover for a FEMA Camp-type drill. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and personally believed that it was merely another emergency/disaster preparation drill. I soon realized that I was horribly mistaken.
According to the Des Moines Register’s report;
“Tim Counts, a Midwest spokesman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE, declined to say Monday whether an immigration raid is pending that would use the fairgrounds as a detention center. He declined to say whether the “exercise” involves training or an immigration enforcement operation.”
Representatives of Gov. Chet Culver and U.S. Sens. Tom Harkin and Charles Grassley said they had no information about what was happening at the Cattle Congress fairgrounds.
At Grassley’s request, his staff called ICE officials on Monday.
“During the call, the ICE officials would neither confirm nor deny anything to Senator Grassley’s staff,” said Beth Pellett Levine, a Grassley aide.
The apparent involvement of FEMA and ICE indicated that the purpose of this exercise was to test their FEMA camp deployment apparatus using the round-up of illegal aliens as a test case. And that’s exactly what happened soon after setting up.
Several large busses and SUVs pulled into the AgriProcessors, Inc. factory nearby and conducted a raid, searching for illegal aliens. After arresting a large number of illegals, they were transported back to the Fairgrounds for processing and questioning. Most were released after processing and a brief detention, citing “humanitarian reasons.” ICE and FEMA then packed up and left town. Many believe that this was simply a live-fire exercise for both agencies to test inter-operability when having to process hundreds or thousands of citizens. Otherwise, why was it an official “National Level Exercise”? Most NLEs are merely disaster training with fake victims, such as a simulated airplace crash, toxic spill or similar. They don’t actually conduct raids with live rounds and make arrests.
The instances and examples of FEMA concentration-like camps or exercises is endless. I have yet to form the opinion that the Powers That Be are actually setting up and preparing these internment camps, but then again… what happened to the American-Asian population after World War II? Many were rounded up and placed in detention camps. With the fast pace of technology today and the ever-increasing use of secret prisons, torture, “black-bagging” and warrantless spying, it would be incredibly easy for government agents to create a vast database of “dissidents.” We already see the beginnings of these sort of “lists” with the “No-Fly List,” Fusion Center Intelligence Reports on harmless political activists and rallies, and more. Like all naturally-progressing entities, who or what could stop this sort of action?
HR 645 and SB 3476
Many FEMA camp theorists make mention of either H.R. 645, which was introduced in 2009 or Senate Bill 3476, introduced in 2010 when citing examples of government-sponsored internment camps. While reading the latest version of the bills, titled ‘National Emergency Centers Establishment Act’ does give pause for concern, so far there has been no concrete evidence of nefarious intentions or use. The rationale behind this theory is that the legislation serves as a mechanism of control and legality if the authorities need facilities to hold large amounts of dissenting people or insurgents.
In the bill, it suggests building “Emergency Centers” on military installations in the respective FEMA zones of operation with an initial budget of $180 million. The Centers are defined as being a place where “refugees” or victims of a catastrophic event could be temporarily housed and fed. While the initial budget isn’t much when compared to the billions of dollars poured into Dept of Defense projects and intelligence operations, the bill targets military bases that can be easily converted or refurbished – some not needing anything more than the power to be restored. So just how much chainlink fencing and barbed wire can $180,000,000 buy?
But what about the other indicators or suspicious pieces of legislation? Let’s look at a few additional pieces of circumstantial evidence…
Army Regulation 210–35
Civilian Inmate Labor Program
Chapter 1
Introduction
1–1. Purpose
This regulation provides Army policy and guidance for establishing civilian inmate labor programs and civilian prison
camps on Army installations. Sources of civilian inmate labor are limited to on– and off–post Federal corrections
facilities, State and/or local corrections facilities operating from on–post prison camps pursuant to leases under Section
2667, Title 10, United States Code…
While most of this Army regulation is innoculous, it sets the groundwork required to implement any actual detention camps on military installations. Currently, it only pertains to civilian inmates already in custody and only through those prison bodies that have an agreement to provide no-cost labor to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Many county jails and state prisons have this agreement in-place because it carries with it some benefits and perks.
While this is extremely circumstantial, it does add to the speculation and theories regarding future internment camps. Let’s continue on to some more legislation…
Rex 84 – Readiness Exercise 1984
Rex 84, short for Readiness Exercise 1984, is a contingency plan developed by the United States Federal government to suspend the United States Constitution, declare martial law, place military commanders in charge of state and local governments, and detain large numbers of American citizens who were deemed to be “national security threats”, in the event that the President declared a “State of Domestic National Emergency”. The plan stated that events that might cause such a declaration would be widespread U.S. opposition to a U.S. military invasion abroad, such as if the United States were to directly invade Central America. To combat what the government perceived as “subversive activities” by American citizens, the plan also authorized the military to directly order movements of civilian populations at state and regional levels.
Rex 84 was written by Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North, who was both the National Security Council White House Aide and NSC liaison to FEMA, and John Brinkerhoff, the deputy director of “national preparedness” programs for FEMA. They patterned the plan on a 1970 report written by FEMA chief Louis Giuffrida, at the Army War College, which proposed the detention of up to 21 million “American Negroes”, if there were a black militant uprising in the United States. Existence of a master military contingency plan (of which REX-84 was a part), “Garden Plot” and a similar earlier exercise, “Lantern Spike” were originally revealed by journalist Ron Ridenhour, who summarized his findings in “Garden Plot and the New Action Army.”

In shocking detail, the meticulously researched articles in this anthology expose the national security state’s blueprint for destroying the Republic and crushing dissent. Deploying ‘civil disturbance’ strategies as part of a comprehensive doctrine of ‘homeland defense’, police, national guard and Army counterinsurgency units are gearing up for ‘operations other than war’ in US cities. Contributors include Frank Morales, Michael Novick, Ron Ridenhour, Arthur Lubow, Mitzi Waltz and Douglas Valentine.
Banker Bailout and Threats of Martial Law
During House debate on the banker “rescue” bill in October of 2008, Rep. Brad Sherman told his fellow Congressmen the government will declare martial law and the stock market will drop 3,000 points if the bill is not passed.
“The panic-mongers were to the point of telling people the market would drop 3,000 points and there would be martial law,” said Sherman.
Sherman’s comment was not in the same context as a comment issued by Rep. Michael Burgess earlier that week. Burgess had stated Pelosi threatened to invoke House rule XIII(6)(a), described as “martial law,” intended to suspend normal procedures and safeguards and thus allowing the House leadership to operate in a more authoritarian fashion. Representative Sherman, however, said the threats of martial law that were conveyed to him were aimed at Wall Street and Main Street and not used in a Congressional manner.
Whether key players in the Federal government intended to instill fear about “Congressional Martial Law” in order to get the bill passed or actual martial law on the streets of America is up to debate, depending on who’s side you’re on. Regardless, Congressional martial law is something to be concerned about as well, especially when regarding such a massive, important bill as the Bailout was. To instill fear and terror in order to accomplish a political agenda is called terrorism.
Closing Arguments
While much of this is circumstantial, there is a growing amount of legislation and evidence pointing towards the fact that the Federal Government might be considering martial law – either as a pre-emptive strike against dissidents within America or as a retalitory, defensive measure against some “triggering event,” such as the current economic meltdown. If Americans were to start taking to the streets as we’ve seen in France, Greece and elsewhere, we very well might see some of these measures put into place.
Again, my point is not to prove that martial law is being planned or whether FEMA camps exist. Instead, I seek to merely counter the Southern Poverty Law Center’s notion that martial law is impossible and irrational or simply a product of extremist views. At this current junction of America, nothing is impossible.

Martial Law, Economic Meltdown & Executive Orders
Kevin Hayden
Originally written Oct 18, 2010 @ 06:40
We have all watched in predicted horror as the financial infrastructure of America has been disassembled in a predetermined fashion by the likes of Goldman Sachs, the Federal Reserve and other Globalists. There are a variety of reasons why this is happening, none of which we have the power to change or alter in time to save us. Therefore, I will focus on what is to come and how we might handle it in order to survive it.
With the Federal Reserve actually suggesting that inflation might be the cure to the weak economy, massive unemployment numbers and a crashing dollar, one has to stop and ponder. The chairman of the Fed, Ben Bernanke, was a child prodigy, scored a near perfect SAT score, focused his studies around the Great Depression and is a statistical genius. So why is he so willing to abuse the Dollar and essentially sign the death warrant for America?
For several years, many prominent people have been predicting this exact scenario. Gerald Celente, Ron Paul, Peter Schiff and others including the Web Bots Project, have detailed how this orchestrated financial implosion will occur. Many of these “predictions” or trends analysis are from late 2009 or early 2010. Most, if not all, are eerily starting to come true.
The sad fact is that many of the people currently in power are globalists or a minion thereof. Timothy Geithner, Paul Volcker, Henry Paulson … these people hold some of the most powerful positions in the world but they’re not Presidents or Heads of State. They’re not royalty. No.
They are, however, the ones who control the money and financial policy of the United States of America.
“Give me control over a nations currency, and I care not who makes its laws.”
Baron M.A. Rothschild
Orchestrated Meltdown & the Tea Party
By controlling the flow and direction of money, they are free to do as they please. A simple “divide and conquer” masquerade is offered for the peasants to consume and become distracted by. Every week, a new diversion is offered – President Obama’s birth certificate, Republican vs. Democrat, Dancing with the Stars, Christine O’Donnell is a witch or Lindsey Lohan enters drug rehab yet again. Perhaps we learn about another sex scandal involving Governor Rick Perry or the football players are on strike again.
The current “Tea Party” is a prime example of this divide & conquer attempt. It should be noted, the Republican tea parties and the original Campaign for Liberty are nothing alike. In 2007 and 2008, Ron Paul followers began a massive grassroots movement which spread like a wildfire across angry voters on both sides of the aisle. Liberals and Conservatives stood next to each other while greeting Moderates and Extremists. Many apathetic, disillusioned voters were so moved by the passionate speeches of Ron Paul that they began to become heavily involved in politics. An attempt to Audit the Fed was a centerpiece, knowing that the Federal Reserve is one of the “men behind the green curtain.” An unprecedented partnership was formed across the spectrum and the movement grew loud, demanding accountability, transparency, more freedom and an end to the current wars.
Fearing the worst, agents of the globalist banking cartel went into action. As Rahm Emanuel, the White House spokesman, said, “You can’t let a good crisis go to waste….a crisis allows you to do things you wouldn’t otherwise be able to do.” (Such as the Patriot Act and occupying multiple countries?) They moved their diversion tactics into high gear, with commentators on MSNBC and FOX appealing for patriotic “tea parties” across the country to unite against the banking bailout and stimulus package offered by Obama. They did this knowing that no amount of ranting and raving by citizens would change anything and they could be left in peace to continue the takeover while the peasants waved signs and yelled at Congress.
In order for this takeover to succeed, they had to first destabilize any real resistance. They immediately began shifting Ron Paul into the fringe category, denied him access to the primary debates and waged classic gestapo-like warfare on the citizens who were starting to wake up. The Southern Poverty Law Center, who now partially operates under the auspice of the Department of Homeland Security, began to demonize so-called Patriots and Constitutionalists. They needed to make sure that the wave of Ron Paul supporters – the ones who were awake and aware of who the enemy truly was – could be silenced or ignored. They began to label Constitutionalists and Libertarians as “extremists” and categorized them as violent militia members. This attempt went so far as to have the Missouri Intelligence Center issue a report clearly stating that vehicles displaying a Ron Paul sticker or supporters of Bob Barr, Barry Goldwater and others should be approached with caution during traffic stops, propping up the fear mongering in the law enforcement world where it could be put to good use by obediant police officers.
They knew these patriots, along with many 2nd amendment activists, disgruntled military veterans and Libertarians would be the first to resist. And so they had to run a few headlines on the mainstream media in order to encourage moderates not to listen to them or join their ranks.
Groups such as ‘FreedomWorks’ and the Tea Party Express began popping up all over the radar. These were self-described groups of Tea Partiers but failed to have any ties to Ron Paul or the initial liberty movement. In fact, many of those attending the rallies were George Bush loyalists, classic war-mongering Neocons and Corporate Republicans railing against the man. It quickly became apparent that these groups were funded and started by shady, wealthy individuals with a political agenda who sought to capitalize on the growing movement with no respect to it’s origins.
The groups began propping up the likes of Sarah Palin as their mascot and focused on minor, trivial issues at rallies across the country. They offer stereotypical sound bytes for mass media consumption and stagnate the political process with rhetoric about the welfare state, immigration and Obama. The real enemies are now left to their own devices on Wall Street as the peasants fight among themselves over religion, gay marriage and what Arab country should be invaded next.
This has been my own experience at a recent gun show and several tea party rallies. Everyone I talked to said the same things, “That socialist Obama is wrecking the economy and the illegal immigrants are going to bankrupt us! We need to throw the Democrats out of Congress and take over so we can make real change!” This was literally the same thing that over a dozen “patriots” said to me, completely oblivious to the fact that while illegal immigration is a major problem and does cost a lot of money, it is a penny in the bucket compared to what Wall Street and the multi-national corporations are doing to us. They fail to realize that the banking cartel owns both the Republicans and Democrats. The globalists own the media, the newspapers, the “fair and balanced” talk shows and more. Glenn Beck said it best, “I could give a flying crap about the political process.” Making money, on the other hand, is to be taken very seriously, and controversy is its own coinage. “We’re an entertainment company,” Beck says.
Carroll Quigley, the unofficial historian for the Globalists and Elites, said in his book Tragedy and Hope, “The two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can ‘throw the rascals out’ at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy.” It should be no surprise to anyone, of course, that during his tenure as a professor at Georgetown in the 1960′s, Quigley became the mentor to a young Bill Clinton.
So as more and more voters flock to these false tea party affiliate groups, their “voter angst” is quickly satiated by the waving of a Gadsden flag and yelling some coin-phrase about Socialism, all the while, no real harm has come to the establishment and Wall Street. The Globalists are free to sit back and laugh at the serfs as they complete their exit strategy, pilfering every last cent they can muster.
To use an analogy; we’re all on the Titanic with the White House at the helm of the ship. The Globalists and banking cartel know there is an iceberg ahead – in fact, they placed it directly in our path in order to speed up the sinking process while they continued to sell worthless tickets to the life rafts. Obama, like so many Presidents before him, was promised a VIP seat in the executive’s life boat. But being used by the elites doesn’t seem to bother him in the slightest. No, in fact, he happily sold his soul in order to be the first black President and make history. I suppose we all have our price. (There is also a long, sordid past involving his mother working for multiple CIA front organizations ((micro-financing, accounting, loans, etc)) and meeting his biological father in a Russian speaking class at the University of Hawaii…but that’s for another time and another article.)
Martial Law & Executive Orders
As the bond markets quickly sour and the market tries desperately to maintain it’s hold, many foreign countries are already making their exit plans from the dollar and when this happens en masse, you will hear the American Economy and our way of life take it’s final breath. It will very quickly lead us to a complete and utter shattering of the US Dollar.
Inflation, offered by the Federal Reserve as a solution, will rage out of control. The bond market, already suffering severely, will be the final death blow from the multiple bubbles of the past 10 years – including the housing market, the derivatives schemes, the out of control spending on illegal wars and the never-ending military-industrial-intelligence community.
As the engineered crisis swings into full global financial meltdown, we enter the classic Hegelian Dialectic method of ‘Problem, Reaction, Solution.’
Allow me to explain – The Globalists and elites have an agenda. They already know how they want this to end, as with any engineered crisis. Recall what Rahm Emaneul said about exploiting a crisis and it will start to unfold. The Powers That Be create or exploit a problem, blaming it on others. The citizens react, asking government to fix their problems, even if it means giving up certain rights or liberties. The government offers the solution that was planned long before the crisis.
And that solution is total control and domination. An increased military-police-state. A cashless, unarmed society full of GMO food and mercury-laden vaccines. Half a billion citizens dependant on the government for the next day’s meal. We are entering 1984. But first, the birthing pains of the new era – the New World Order.
In order to achieve this, a rock-bottom effect has to unravel and the crashing of the US Dollar is the perfect key. When the bond market goes, it will take municipal bonds and pensions with it. Cities will no longer be able to employ enough workers to maintain itself. Inflation will make food, gasoline and other tangibles too expensive for the common peasant and riots will start. In order to maintain their control and show force, the government will begin deploying the military into the hardest hit cities in a support role, handling more and more of the infrastructure and traditional police duties. The ability to do this has been laid out in carefully crafted Presidential Executive Orders. Troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are now being trained in domestic law enforcement and how to handle civil unrest, including active combat brigades on “homeland patrol.” Imagine this scenario unfolding while the White House has the following powers:
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10990 – allows the government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10995 – allows the government to seize and control the communication media.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10997 – allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels and minerals.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10998 – allows the government to seize all means of transportation, including personal cars, trucks or vehicles of any kind and total control over all highways, seaports, and waterways.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10999 – allows the government to take over all food resources and farms.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11000 – allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11001 – allows the government to take over all health, education and welfare functions.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11002 – designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11003 – allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11004 – allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate communities, build new housing with public funds, designate areas to be abandoned, and establish new locations for populations.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11005 – allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways and public storage facilities.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11051 – specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11921 allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and distribution, of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit and the flow of money in U.S. financial institution in any undefined national emergency. It also provides that when a state of emergency is declared by the President, Congress cannot review the action for six months. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has broad powers in every aspect of the nation. General Frank Salzedo, chief of FEMA’s Civil Security Division stated in a 1983 conference that he saw FEMA’s role as a “new frontier in the protection of individual and governmental leaders from assassination, and of civil and military installations from sabotage and/or attack, as well as prevention of dissident groups from gaining access to U.S. opinion, or a global audience in times of crisis.” FEMA’s powers were consolidated by President Carter to incorporate the…
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11310 – grants authority to the Department of Justice to enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute industrial support, to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11049 – assigns emergency preparedness function to federal departments and agencies, consolidating 21 operative Executive Orders issued over a fifteen year period.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 12148 – created the Federal Emergency Management Agency to interface with the Department of Defense for civil defense planning and funding. An “emergency czar” was appointed. FEMA has only spent about 6 percent of its budget on national emergencies. The bulk of their funding has been used for the construction of secret underground facilities to assure continuity of government in case of a major emergency, foreign or domestic.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 12656 – appointed the National Security Council as the principal body that should consider emergency powers. This allows the government to increase domestic intelligence and surveillance of U.S. citizens and would restrict the freedom of movement within the United States and grant the government the right to isolate large groups of civilians. The National Guard could be federalized to seal all borders and take control of U.S. air space and all ports of entry.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 12919 – Collects EOs 10995, 10997, 10998, 10999, 11000, 11001, 11002, 11003, 11004, 11005 and 11051 together into one new Executive Order.
National Security Act of 1947 – allows for the strategic relocation of industries, services, government and other essential economic activities, and to rationalize the requirements for manpower, resources and production facilities.
1950 Defense Production Act – gives the President sweeping powers over all aspects of the economy.
Act of August 29, 1916 – authorizes the Secretary of the Army, in time of war, to take possession of any transportation system for transporting troops, material, or any other purpose related to the emergency.
International Emergency Economic Powers Act – enables the President to seize the property of a foreign country or national. These powers were transferred to FEMA in a sweeping consolidation in 1979.
We are already living on borrowed time as a Nation. I suggest you take the advice of those people who predicted this exact scenario a decade ago and begin investing in tangibles and hard commodities. Land, firearms, precious metals, tools and food.
Think about the one thing that you must have and will always spend money on – food. If you could buy 6 months of food now, imagine the return on your investment when inflation hits the grocery stores by the end of this year. We’re already seeing it everywhere around us. Take note and act accordingly!
We are entering a very dangerous time frame in not only our lives, but history.
