FEMA SECURING BIDS FOR CONCENTRATION CAMPS

Poet,

Re: What was once a sharp liberal mind has now become a pronounced delusional one. Stop and think before you post paranoia like that

It is not paranoia. It is the new reality in George Bush's coming Police State. Here's the latest on the slow march to end democracy in the U.S.

FEMA Plans to Move Residents of Towns, Cities

in the event of a national emergency, is now making plans to move millions of
Americans in the event of a biological, chemical or nuclear attack.
Exclusive to American Free Press

By Mike Blair
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the little known federal
bureaucracy tasked with running the country in the event of a war or
declaration of martial law, is preparing methods to rapidly “relocate”
hundreds of thousands—even millions—of Americans from cities that may come
under attack with nuclear, biological or chemical weapons.

It is known within FEMA as Standby Technical Assistance for Disaster Related
Operations. The agency announced June 19 it was receiving bids of $300 million
for a five-year contract to prepare preliminary plans to create temporary
housing for hundreds of thousands of Americans who would be moved in the event
of “multiple mass destruction attacks” on U.S. cities.

This was followed up with a meeting at the Department of Education in
Washington July 10, when about 100 people, including FEMA officials and
representatives of firms interested in placing the bids, met to discuss
details of the “standby” program, reported News Max.com, a news web site.

FEMA may be taking its cue from a smaller program that is already planned by
Israel in the event it is attacked with weapons of mass destruction from Iraq.

Ramat City, adjacent to Tel Aviv, is one of the cities making plans to
evacuate citizens.

Ramat City was struck by SCUD missiles during the 1991 Gulf War and plans are
underway to establish a tent city in southern Israel, where large numbers of
the city’s residents could be relocated.

At the July 10 meeting, FEMA officials made it clear that the purpose of the
relocation “standby” plan was to prepare for potential attacks.

The bids are being sought from major American real estate management and
engineering firms. FEMA plans to select three firms in the near future to
handle the logistics for the new temporary cities.

According to the NewsMax.com report, FEMA wants to hire the contractors by
next January.

FEMA has made no effort to conceal the fact that the proposal is the largest
undertaking in its history, is a “crash program” and is part of a massive plan
to prepare America for retaliation when President Bush strikes Iraq.

Through a series of presidential executive orders (EOs) issued by presidents
going back to at least John Kennedy, FEMA has amassed the power to virtually
take over the running of the nation in the event that martial law is declared.

Under established EOs, FEMA would actually have the power to replace the
authority of the president and Congress during such an event.

During recent hurricanes along the East Coast, FEMA tested mass movements of
people when it ordered thousands of Americans to leave their homes and travel
to safer ground out of the path of the storms.

Previous presidents have signed individual EOs granting FEMA specific powers
to control the distribution of food and fuel, the traffic on American railways
and inland waterways and air travel. It also now has the authority to detain
countless Americans.

FEMA would play a key role in the projected efforts from the new Homeland
Security Act being ram-rodded through the Congress by the Bush administration,
which gives the government extraordinary new powers that drastically curtail
civil rights under the Constitution.

Poet,

You are simply too willing to be propagandized by the Bush Disinformation Apparatus. Open your eyes. Read something that is telling you the truth. For gosh sakes, throw away your TV, throw away the Wall Street Journal, throw away Forbes Magazine. They're all lying to you.

Salaam aleikum, Ray
