The gloves come off
During the Bush Administration, FEMA was given hundreds of millions of dollars to retrofit former military bases and other existing infrastructure so they can be used as "camps."
Not camps as in summer camps. Camps as in prison camps and perhaps even concentration camps.
One of the first thing the Obama Administration did was to legitimize their existence.
These camps, which can be found in every state in the union, currently sit empty and are intended to be pressed into service in the event of an "emergency."
Funny that we've made it over 200 years without needing a national network of on-demand concentration camps.
Why do we need them now?
It's been suggested they've been built to deal with a massive influx of illegal aliens.
My guess is they were built with the knowledge that the US is going to experience a severe economic dislocation that is going to:
a) require the suspension or serious reduction of social welfare payments (i.e. millions of suddenly desperate people in the streets) and
b) financially wipe out tens of millions of formerly middle class Americans who are going to realize more or less all at once that their futures have been stolen from them by the people at the top
In other words, the crooks are covering their bets.
When governments have money, they buy peace with social welfare programs.
When they run out of money, as the US is doing, the gloves come off.
Or we can hope that these camps, built by Halliburton subsidiary KBR, were just another way for Cheney to rip off the country for his friends.
Of course, nothing prevents both scenarios from being accurate.

You'll never hear about this in the mainstream media. The U.S. media and the government have a 'cosy' relationship. Want the Secret? http://thesgrprogram.com/sp... Check out my new blog at http:/...

Hi Ma, I was surfing through frien's MySpace pages and had another look at yours. I love your new photo slides coming at ya. And I see you still have that cool magpie too. I was serenaded in a lovely way by our male magpie that comes down several times a day here with his mate and one of his babies. He warbled to me for about an hour and it was magic. He didn't want food.. just to sing to me. Amazing! So beautiful. He didn't take off till I stepped forward a bit to escape the ants hanging around then he took off a bit perturbed. We're going to chop a tree down that's been polluting our rainwater with poisonous berries tomorrow. A shame as it's a lovely big shady tree but water's more important. Have a great day! Jen
like the comment thanks. Have been away all weekend at a Guider Training Weekend. It was lots of fun but I am very tired. We worked hard! Hope to catch you for a chat soon. Hugs and Love xxxx
Yes I had a fabulous birthday thanks, Pam. It was my son who made it so lovely. I wasn't well enough to do much but as my sister said, she's also got the flu and it's taking a long time to get over it. When's your birthday? Are you going to let me know.. lol? Jen
Did you know that it's Beautiful Women Month? Well, it is and that means you!!! I'm supposed to send this to BEAUTIFUL WOMEN , and you are one of them !!! Below is a wonderful poem Audrey Hepburn wrote when asked to share her "beauty tips." It was read at her funeral years later.
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness... For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone... People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived,
reclaimed and redeemed: Never throw out anyone!
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older,you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.
If you share this with another woman, something good will happen. You will boost another woman's self esteem, and she will know that you
care about her.
It's BEAUTIFUL Women Month TAG YOU'RE IT! Dance ON!
Re: the councils in Australia. I distinctly remember that in 1988 Australia almost unanimously voted these vultures out.. What happened? They seemed to become corporations overnight making themselves into businesses. I was hoping we wouldn't have to pay their insidious rates anymore.. no such luck Cheers, Jen xxx
