Why would sane people willingly go to one of the numerous FEMA camps that exist across the U.S.? Answer: Because they are starving, have lost their homes, have no employment prospects, and literally have nowhere else to go.

The emphasis in the news of late on the Police State that is coming our way outlines the brutality that the “authorities” are using and are about to use on we the people, who are not of the “elite” class. Rounding people up to take them to FEMA camps is one scenario, and one that I believe is not unreasonable. However, I would like to step out of the box for a minute and take a look at the situation from another perspective.

Let’s look at New Orleans. One of the main disasters in New Orleans was the water. Another was the herding of people who had literally no place to go into detention facilities; excuse me, places of refuge. When they got there, these people were treated like rabble, then dispersed. People are still looking for dispersed family members that are who knows where. The poorer people literally gave up their freedom because they did not know what else to do. They had no homes, they were on the verge of drowning, starvation was looming, and the water was not fit to drink. Prime candidates for a FEMA camp; excuse me, place of refuge, experiment.

Now, let’s expand this picture to the coming depression. It is not over-the-top to look a bit into the future by looking into the past. It is 1929, and people are jumping out of windows. It is now 2008, or thereabouts, and people who have lost everything and do not know how to survive are running to the FEMA camps; excuse me, places of refuge, for food, shelter, and security.

The “authorities” do not even have to deploy force to a population that goes where it is supposed to willingly. With so many of us, which is the best method of operation? Yup, getting them to go willingly. By creating a situation that leads them to the right conclusions, you have your ready and waiting FEMA camps; excuse me, places of refuge, filled to the gills. The only thing required to start the process is a big enough catastrophe. Is a financial meltdown big enough? Just ask the poor people in New Orleans who were left with nothing when the water poured through town. They’ll tell you.

Barbara H. Peterson is retired from the California Department of Corrections, where she worked as a Correctional Officer at Folsom Prison. She was one of the first females to work at the facility in this classification. After retirement, she went to college online to obtain a Bachelor's degree in Business, and graduated with honors. The most valuable thing she received from her time with UOP was a realization that her life's passion is writing. Now her business degree sits in her desk drawer, and she counts herself in the category of Writer/Activist. Someday she will make money writing, but that is not why she does it. "I do it because I must. A driving force compels me to reach out to others with what I learn about the condition we the people are in, and that is what I devote my time to. After all, time is the most precious thing we have, and the older I get the more I want to use it wisely." Barbara lives on a small ranch in Oregon with her husband, where they raise geese, chickens, Navajo Churro sheep, Oggie Dog, a variety of cats, and an opinionated Macaw named Rita. She believes that self-sufficiency and localization of food sources will be necessary to survive the coming depression. To this end, she has put up a website to share information at: http://survivingthemiddleclasscrash.wordpress.com. Her philosophy is this: You are on this earth for a reason - to fight for the light. Your words are swords that penetrate the darkness with truth and light. You have a purpose.

There's No Place Like Home

I feel so much more safe and secure now, knowing our government has these plans to make me safe, and keep me warm and fed. Will I be transported in one of those rail cars with the shackles?

I posted a video on my Dairy

Lisa Long might want to look at the video I posted on my diary because it shows the details of the FEMA camps being reconstructed in post-industrial warehouses and repaired train tracks fenced with barbed wire to keep folks in, not out.

The camps are HUGE and remind me of what Alexandre Solzenichen describes in his "Gulag Archipelago" for processing which enabled Stalin to eliminate 135 million of the people who had put him in office, the socialist. Stalin declared Russia Communist and he eliminated the socialists. Here we go? History repeats its self.

If we can't impeach Bush, how can we stop FEMA? I wish Americans would wake up and vote for Ron Paul.

Bingo!

I wrote this as a response to an article on the 15th:

"If it is Obama - that is if we even have an election, but that's another story - I'm not looking for anything more than a feel good effect until it sinks in that we're still in Iraq 6 months into his term, then it's going to get real ugly when the betrayed turn on their phony savior. Especially since we'll be so deep in a depression, most likely in another war with Iran and/or Venezuela, (if not the entire God-damn world) suffering from the shock of another "false flag" attack that being housed in any of the 600 "detention camps" FEMA has waiting might seem like a good thing."

BTW - I live in New Olreans.

THE KEY QUESTION!!!!!

The key question is: were these people allowed to leave once in these places??? That's what I want to know.

They were not

According to an article at:

http://www.worldproutassembly.org/archives/2005/09/hurricaneas_vic.html

Once they went to the New Orleans stadium, they were not allowed to leave of their own free will.

Quote:
Those who went into the stadium were not allowed to leave. Many complained that they were being treated like animals and that the facility was worse than a prison. Little or no information was provided to these storm refugees.

Can we get verification of this from someone on this forum who was there?

They could leave

from this Oklahoma camp, BUT, they had no money, no car and were 100 miles from civilization, read the details here

Again this is all practice to get you used to seeing camps and massive crowds of detainees.

You missed the point Barbara

Check this little press release that Texas will not even admit that is straight from a FEMA guidline. It is secret. Disaster preparedness is now classified, why ? Because if they admit all evacuations will be mandatory and only by FEMA bus people would be running in every direction to escape, here is the altered document. The original used the word "undesirables" but has been pulled from thr Star-Telegram site, I have a printed copy, ha ha

http://www.tylerpaper.com/article/20071215/NEWS03/71215007/0/news03

I contacted the office of Texas emergency management but they will say nothing. I contacted my state senator and they got the same treatment. This is a hideous bit of posturing by the state to please the beast, Chertoff.

Alex Jones just did a story on RFID bracelets that will be placed on evacuees. This will track their position by satellite. This is practice for the coming control grid. Hughes corporation has developed a digital bridge to place over all highways that will automatically deduct the soon to be introduced tolls directly from your account, plus track your location in real time by the RFID chip in your registration sticker. Isnt it nice to know your government cares for you ?

Voluntary Compliance

Sort of like voluntary compliance, as in the income tax, eh? I maintain that a compliant prisoner is a lot easier to deal with than a non-compliant one. Chances are, given the right situation, if a person believes that he/she has nowhere else to go, he/she can become easy prey and more than willing to be herded into a camp. It is all a matter of strategy, and there are more of us than them, so it makes sense to me that they would try voluntary compliance, at least at first. In my opinion.

RFID bracelets

The book of revelation in the Bible predicts a mark on people who will worship

the beast. Is RFID a prelude of things to come? Is the US government with it's

current or next leader the beast? Things to ponder and put on the back burner

in case they come to fruition.

"They could not buy or sell"

Without the mark of the beast. Ask Fidel who has forbidden Cuba to buy or sell for the past 50 years. Or Iraq, Or Iran, embargos are the beasts tool to starve them into submission. Political "alignment" or correctness is the mark of the beast in the forehead or the mind. The REALID will be the mark in the hand. The cashless society is just a bank run away. The REALID will be your paycheck and your money and your rationing card. It was just announced that grain supplies are at a record low, posturing for a doubling or tripling of food prices. My yard is no longer a yard it is now a vegetable garden. If you dont have at least 500 lbs of beans and rice per person in your house you better get to moving now before the price hike and shortages.

connecting some dots

I have been trying to access Lisa Long's site for the last 30 min. It blocks me after a partial scroll down. I know it is the FBI. I think I have finally figured out why those of us with AOL were BLOCKED from getting Truthout.org and Rob.OpEd in Sept07. After reading an article in TO from the NYT's this morning, I thunk I figga'd id out. Now, I would love to visit the sites on those maps but mothership AOL must not think I should. I can't get there.

Think for a moment, and ponder about if all your communication was cut off. All of it, every communication device, zip, nil, no accessiblity. You might just be eager to go somewhere JUST to talk to someone or see a phone or something. How easy is it to be cattled into a machine of CONTROL when one is so desperate.

I know of 5 Detention centers, CA, AZ, CO, TX(2), WA but wasn't aware of the WY fema camp. I'm next door to that state. Just ask the FBI, they know EXACTLY where I am. Hahahahaha.

So few ppl know all this information but America is finally talking. A big thank you to those that provided some links. Perhaps mothership AOL will let me look at them eventually. Perhaps not. Oh well, I know what is going on and they won't "get me" too far without my dog! ......One has to have a bit of humor to digest all this morbidity.

I'm beginning to think USSR in the 50's was much more humane than this. Bamboozled, duped, gulled, trickery are words that come to mind with this detention sweep.

Most will just follow for free food

I live in Alaska. They have a well established camp up by Delta Junction. Been there for years and I have talked to several Army guys who have "trained" at it.

The poster above that said that buying 500lbs of food for each family member was right. Add to that tents, guns, ammo (and learn how to use them), sleeping bags, medical supplies, gardening tools, non-hybrid seeds, candles, the list is extensive. Most importantly, move out of the cities. If everyone in Atlanta took out a .22 and went rabbit hunting for dinner it would take a day to make rabbits extinct. Not that I am inviting the Lower 48 up here but the self sufficient person deep in the woods is far along that FEMA bus route.

I don't think we can stop what is coming. The old adage about seeing the whites of their eyes thing. Naming one of those buildings after Prescott Bush should jolt even the most synical of readers. Grandpa Bush lost his banking license for helping the Nazi's.

Luckily for me 99% of the people that read this article will just keep going on with their lives and not be the ones competing with me for berries and moose. Any member of that 1% that wants to try their hand at survivng the coming depression in AK and wants to discuss it is welcome to contact me. I'll share what I have learned so far.

Violent whackos, and those who call the Constitution a God Damn piece of paper (that includes most federal agents) not welcome. I have seen this comng since I read Howard Ruff in the 70's. It may be soon, it may be years off...but it is coming.

Free Food

I honestly believe that when people are placed in positions of homelessness, hunger, and cold due to the economic crash, the FEMA camps will start looking like a blessing. It is like the mouse who goes for the cheese on the mousetrap. Once he takes a bite, it is all over.

Not a rail car, they use a bus. Yes hands and feet are in shackles. Guards in the towers are armed and just itching to shoot someone. Most of the employees should be behind bars themselves.

Thanks Barbara, Jeanette, Shirley.. and others

Jeanette, Good dairy entry.. I will send that information around to my list.

And Shirley, AOL servers are slower.. and they block my list mails.. regularly.. they have some strong filters. They blocked one I sent on UFOs monday.. so several hundred people did not see that information. It could just be that it was to big, or too many links.. some servers are picky about that. Mostly my "health" emails get blocked, more than my "truth news" ones do.. go figure. And my web pages are on the heavy side.. so slow servers have a hard time loading them. I will be updating the pages... soon. But, they probably won't get smaller. If you want on my list mail, just ask. I don't know how long I am going to keep doing it...

Aloha,

Lisa
