Today I received a tip by a fellow writer that KBR (Kellogg Brown & Root, Inc.), a subsidiary of Halliburton, was behind the creation of Senate Bill S 1959, otherwise known as the “Thought Crime Prevention Bill”, or by its legal designation, the “Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007.” I wasn’t able to make a solid connection that indicated KBR was actually behind the introduction of S 1959, but what I did find demonstrates we are likely approaching the final days when Homeland Security (sic) implements their “final solution” which DHS has labeled as “EndGame.”
This is what I found, researched it thoroughly - and unfortunately, unless “the people” react in the millions, life in these United States is about to change forever, and apparently, it could also end for thousands, if not millions of Americans:
On February 17, 2006, in a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld spoke of the harm being done to the country’s security, not just by the enemy, but also by what he called “news informers” who needed to be combated in “a contest of wills.”
In 2002 Attorney General John Ashcroft announced his desire to see camps for U.S. citizens deemed to be “enemy combatants.”
A Defense Department document, entitled the “Strategy for Homeland Defense and Civil Support,” has set out a military strategy against terrorism that envisions an “active, layered defense” both inside and outside U.S. territory. In the document, the Pentagon pledges to “transform U.S. military forces to execute homeland defense missions in the . . . U.S. homeland.” The strategy calls for increased military reconnaissance and surveillance
The Washington Post reported on February 15, 2006 that the National Counterterrorism Center’s (NCTC) central repository holds the names of 325,000 terrorist suspects, a fourfold increase since fall of 2003. A Pentagon official said the Counterintelligence Field Activity’s TALON program has amassed files on antiwar protesters.
Shortly after Bush orchestrated 9/11, he issued “Military Order Number One”, which empowered him to detain any noncitizen as an international terrorist or enemy combatant. Today that order extends to U.S. citizens as well.
Halliburton subsidiary “KBR has been awarded a contract announced by the Department of Homeland Security’s United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) component. The Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contingency contract is to support ICE facilities and has a maximum total value of $385 million over a five year term. The contract provides for establishing temporary detention and processing capabilities in the event of an emergency influx of immigrants into the United States, or to support the rapid development of new programs”.See Source Document on Halliburton Site or page 1, & 5 below
HOUSTON, Texas – Halliburton (NYSE:HAL) announced that income from continuing operations for the full year of 2005 was $2.4 billion. Consolidated revenue in the fourth quarter of 2005 was $5.8 billion. Consolidated operating income was $779 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. This increase was largely attributable to higher activity in the Energy Services Group (ESG), partially offset by lower revenue in KBR primarily on government services projects in the Middle East. Annual operating income more than tripled to $2.7 billion in 2005.
Why exactly are prisons being built for “the rapid development of new programs”. Halliburton’s company site confirms that the government is engaged in a massive construction and preparation exercise to build concentration camps and prisoner processing facilities in the United States. This is particularity astonishing and disturbing considering that the U.S. already incarcerates more orders of magnitude more people than any other nation, about on-par with U.S.S.R. at the height of Stalin’s era.
The contract of the Halliburton subsidiary KBR to build immigrant detention facilities is part of a longer-term Homeland Security plan titled
ENDGAME
, which sets as its goal the removal of “all removable aliens” and “potential terrorists.” In the 1980s Richard Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld discussed similar emergency detention powers as part of a super-secret program of planning for what was euphemistically called “Continuity of Government” (COG). These men planned for suspension of the Constitution, not just after nuclear attack, but for any “national security emergency,” which they vaguely defined in Executive Order 12656 of 1988.
Over 800 concentration camps are reported throughout the United States, all fully operational and ready to receive U.S. Prisoners who disagree with the government. The concentration camps are all staffed and manned by full-time guards, however, they are all empty. These camps are to be operated by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) when Martial Law is implemented in the United States (at the stroke of a Presidential pen and the Attorney General’s signature on a warrant).
The camps have railroad facilities as well as roads leading to and from the detention facilities, many have airports. Like Auschwitz, some of the camps have airtight buildings and furnaces. The majority of the camps can each house a population of 20,000 prisoners. Currently, the largest of these facilities is just outside of Fairbanks, Alaska. The Alaskan facility is a massive “mental health” facility and can hold approximately 2 million people.
Following the Halliburton subsidiary KBR (formerly Kellogg Brown and Root) announcement on Jan. 24 that it had been awarded a $385 million contingency contract by the Department of Homeland Security to build detention camps, two weeks later, on Feb. 6, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff announced that the Fiscal Year 2007 federal budget would allocate over $400 million to add 6,700 additional detention beds (an increase of 32 percent over 2006. What is interesting in the Homeland Security plan is that each concrete prison bed costs $60,000 per bed! Observing these concentration camps and general jail and prison facilities throughout the U.S., the Homeland Security plan is clearly buffered to build significantly more than 6,700 additional beds.
The Homeland Security $400 million allocation is more than a four-fold increase over the FY 2006 budget, which provided $90 million for the same purpose. Both the contract and the budget allocation are in partial fulfillment of an ambitious 10-year Homeland Security strategic plan, code-named ENDGAME, authorized in 2003. According to a 49-page Homeland Security document on the plan, ENDGAME expands “a mission first articulated in the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798.” Its goal is the capability to “remove all removable aliens,” including “illegal economic migrants, aliens who have committed criminal acts, asylum-seekers (required to be retained by law) or potential terrorists.” The government’s definition of an enemy combatant covers almost any individual who promotes the rudimentary rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.
I am nothing more than a patriotic American that is doing whatever I can to further the cause of democracy, the rule of law, and am absolutely outraged on how the Bush administration is defying our Congress, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights! Footnote: I write in a style that I believe is appropriate in today's world where we can't trust the Mainstream News Media, and rather than concentrating on one article alone, which may or may not receive the exposure and emphasis it should, I prefer to meld several relevant stories together, that each taken alone may not expose the entire situation, but when taken-in as a whole, tend to give the reader a better understanding of the subject. One article or story alone does not represent the "Big Picture" - but when several are effectively tied-together it often reveals a trend or broader view of the subject matter that is important to completely understand any given situation. http://justanothercoverup.com/
There is a lot of evidence on the site where I found this information. I also have some of the photos posted on my site - so don't stop at this piece, as there is much more from the original site.
Thanks,

Honestly, I can believe my eyes. I had a post linked to my site that shows thousands and thousands of these coffins in Georgia too; I posted some of the photos and also provided a link to the site with the photos. There were told they were there in case of a biological attack. There are also some photos taken by Google Easth that haven't been blacked-out yet.
This appears to be nationwide based on the info I'm receiving, and as a people, if we want to survive, it's time for everyone to pick up the phones and call Washington until we have some answers.

I remember a while back that there was some sort of pending legislation regarding not allowing people with mental disorders to own guns. My hubby was in a serious motorcycle accident years ago, and his entire arm had to be reconstructed, along with his foot. He is in pain constantly, and has arthritis. He does not like taking prescription drugs, and gets by with aspirin. When he finally went to the doctor to get something for the pain, he was offered an anti-depressant, nothing else. An anti-depressant for arthritis pain? What a crock!
I had a problem a few years ago with sexual harassment when I worked at a hospital. I was sent to a psychiatrist for evaluation. He asked me if my job made me anxious. I responded that the harassment I was receiving made me anxious. He then prescribed anti-depressants! I refused and the hospital rejected my case. It is my opinion that the doctors have a mandate to get as many people on anti-depressants as possible in order to take their guns away. Is this just paranoia? I don’t think so.

In the last two weeks, I was listening to Tom Hartmann. His comment was quite rational, and that was that he had read 1955, the House version, and he hadn't seen anything dangerous in it, or words to that effect. Then he discussed it with some attorney friends who informed him that the language in 1955, and 1959, combined with some of the other legislation that was passed is actually quite dangerous.
Thank you, Mr. Cormier, for having the courage to speak truth to power on this issue. What you describe in your article is something that I have been afraid of for some time. I happen to crochet. I know that sometimes stitches, taken individually, mean nothing. Put together, however, they form a pattern, and eventually an entire project. One does not need to be a conspiracy nut on this matter. Simply pull up Bush's Ex. Orders, his signing statements, and the legislation that he has pushed through Congress, now and in the past.
Individually they mean nothing. Together they form a pattern, and the pattern in its entirety appears to be a potential takeover of our government by the same fascist-leaning power hungry capitalists that have been working on this since FDR's time. I doubt very much that we will have an election in 2008, and if we do, and Democrats win everything, there will be another 9/11 of some sort, and there goes what has been a beacon to all the world. It's light will go out.

How a Single Passage Can Undermine an Entire Report
Reading this report was very interesting -- until I came across the following passage:
"Shortly after Bush orchestrated 9/11, he issued “Military Order Number One”, which empowered him to detain any noncitizen as an international terrorist or enemy combatant. Today that order extends to U.S. citizens as well."
WHERE IS THE PROOF THAT BUSH ORCHESTRATED 9/11???
I have never bought any of the conspiracy theorists' claims that the 9/11 attacks were "an inside job" perpetrated by the Bush White House -- and I never will.
This administration has proven itself over and over again to be too incompetant to pull off something that heinous. Then you have Osama bin Laden boldly proclaiming over and over again the HE was responsible for the 9/11 attacks.
Sorry, but by claiming that Bush was behind 9/11, this report falls flat on its face and is nothing more than a piece of rabid anti-Bush propaganda.
Bush and his cronies are a bunch of slimeballs, but only an absolute totalitarian dictatorship -- such as Hitler's in Germany and Stalin's in the now-defunct Soviet Union -- would have the balls to pull off something like 9/11 without a hitch -- and get away with it.

First off, it was binladen 2 that made that claim. binladen 1 (the original) stated he wasn't responsible for it, according to press reports in sept 2001. compare pictures if you think #2 looks anything like #1.
Second, how in the world would you know if they hadn't gotten away with it? Certainly not from the mainstream media, which has ignored every witness and whistleblower to come forward since 9/11, including firefighters, janitors and even 9/11 commission testimony.
There are plenty of technical holes in the official story, from the collapse of WTC7 to the blatant contradications between the NIST report and the FEMA report about what caused the towers to collapse.
Please do some research.
