Quote:[floatright][/floatright]Infowars.com has received a document originating from Halliburton subsidiary KBR that provides details on a push to outfit FEMA and U.S. Army camps around the United States. Entitled [url="http://static.infowars.com/2011/12/i/general/kbr-doc.pdf"]ââ¬ÅProject Overview and Anticipated Project Requirements,ââ¬Â[/url] the document describes services KBR is looking to farm out to subcontractors. The document was passed on to us by a state government employee who wishes to remain anonymous for obvious reasons.[/indent]
Services up for bid include catering, temporary fencing and barricades, laundry and medical services, power generation, refuse collection, and other services required for temporary ââ¬Åemergency environmentââ¬Â camps located in five regions of the United States.
Internment Camp Services Bid Arrives After NDAA
KBRââ¬â¢s call for FEMA camp service bids arrives soon after the [url="http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2011/12/05/the-national-defense-authorization-act-is-the-greatest-threat-to-civil-liberties-americans-face/"]Senate overwhelmingly passed the National Defense Authorization Act[/url] (NDAA) which permits the military to detain and interrogate supposed domestic terror suspects in violation of the Fourth Amendment and Posse Comitatus.
Section 1031 of the NDAA bill declares the whole of the United States as a ââ¬Åbattlefieldââ¬Â and allows American citizens to be arrested on U.S. soil and incarcerated in Guantanamo Bay.
A number of civil liberties groups have come out in strong opposition to the legislation, most notably the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL), the nationââ¬â¢s oldest and largest Asian American civil and human rights organization.
In a [url="http://www.aclu.org/files/pdfs/safefree/senator_letter_re_detention_9-19-11.pdf"]letter addressed to Congress[/url], S. Floyd Mori, the national director of JACL, said the NDAA is the first time that Congress has scaled back on the protections provided by the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Detention_Act"]Non-Detention Act of 1971[/url]. Mori said the legislation, if enacted and put into use, would be reminiscent of the unconstitutional indefinite detention of Japanese Americans during World War II.
KBR Instrumental in Establishing Camps in 2006
In 2006, KBR was awarded a contingency contract from the Department of Homeland Security, allegedly to support its Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities in the event of an emergency, [url="http://www.marketwatch.com/story/kbr-awarded-homeland-security-contract-worth-up-to-385m"]Market Watch[/url] reported.
The contract was effective immediately and provided for establishing temporary detention and processing capabilities to expand existing ICE Detention and Removal Operations Program facilities in the event of an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S., or to support the rapid development of new programs, KBR said. The contract may also provide migrant detention support to other government organizations in the event of an immigration emergency, as well as the development of a plan to react to a national emergency, such as a natural disaster, the company explained.[floatright]

Army Releases Civilian Inmate Labor Program Document
Soon after KBRââ¬â¢s announcement, a little-known Army document surfaced. Entitled the [url="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCAQFjAA&url=http://www.army.mil/usapa/epubs/pdf/r210_35.pdf&ei=9pTeTsaBL66ksQKL8KzgBg&usg=AFQjCNHB5ODc2cPm5lgYqdZamUPyDwsbSg&sig2=m_zmxZgQwWw39X2Ww5O2xQ"]ââ¬ÅCivilian Inmate Labor Program,ââ¬Â[/url] the unclassified document describes in detail Army Regulation 210-35. The regulation, first drafted in 1997, underwent a ââ¬Årapid act revisionââ¬Â in January 2005 and now provides a policy for the creation of labor programs and prison camps on Army installations.
National Emergency Centers Act
In 2009, the [url="http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h111-645"]National Emergency Centers Act or HR 645[/url] was introduced in Congress. It mandates the establishment of ââ¬Ånational emergency centersââ¬Â to be located on military installations for the purpose of providing ââ¬Åtemporary housing, medical, and humanitarian assistance to individuals and families dislocated due to an emergency or major disaster,ââ¬Â according to the bill.
In addition to emergencies, the legislation is designed to ââ¬Åmeet other appropriate needs, as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security,ââ¬Â an open ended mandate which many fear could mean the forced detention of American citizens in the event of widespread rioting after a national emergency or total economic collapse, as [url="http://www.prisonplanet.com/new-legislation-authorizes-fema-camps-in-us.html"]Paul Joseph Watson[/url] noted in January of 2009.
Also in 2009, the Army National Guard began posting advertisements calling for [url="http://www.infowars.com/army-national-guard-advertises-for-internment-specialists/"]Internment/Resettlement Specialists[/url], a fact noted by Infowars.com, Prison Planet.com and other alternative media outlets but ignored by the establishment media.
Precursor: Rex 84 Mass Detention Operation
[url="http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=3010"]Rex 84[/url], short for Readiness Exercise 1984, was established under the pretext of a ââ¬Åmass exodusââ¬Â of illegal aliens crossing the Mexican/US border, the same pretense used in the language of the KBR request for services.
During the Iran-Contra hearings in 1987, however, it was revealed that the program was a secretive ââ¬Åscenario and drillââ¬Â developed by the federal government to suspend the Constitution, declare martial law, assign military commanders to take over state and local governments, and detain large numbers of American citizens determined by the government to be ââ¬Ånational security threats.ââ¬Â
Rex 84 was devised by Col. Oliver North, who was with the NSC and appointed liaison to FEMA. John Brinkerhoff, the deputy director of ââ¬Ånational preparednessââ¬Â programs for FEMA, and North designed 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 ââ¬ÅAmerican Negroesââ¬Â in the event of a black militant uprising in the United States.
DHS Coordinating Occupy Arrests
Following a crackdown by police on Occupy Wall Street protesters around the nation, Oakland, California, mayor [url="http://capitoilette.com/2011/11/15/oakland-mayor-jean-quan-admits-cities-coordinated-crackdown-on-occupy-movement/"]Jean Quan[/url] mentioned during an interview with the BBC that she was on a conference call with leaders of 18 US cities shortly before a wave of raids broke up Occupy Wall Street encampments across the country. It was later discovered that the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and other federal police agencies [url="http://www.examiner.com/top-news-in-minneapolis/were-occupy-crackdowns-aided-by-federal-law-enforcement-agencies"]had coordinated the often violent response to the protests[/url].
New York [url="http://www.infowars.com/department-of-homeland-security-adviser-helped-coordinate-police-crackdowns-on-protests-in-18-cities/"]Rep. Peter King[/url], who heads up the House Homeland Security Subcommittee, signaled a sense of urgency when he said the federal government has ââ¬Åto be careful not to allow this movement to get any legitimacy. Iââ¬â¢m taking this seriously in that Iââ¬â¢m old enough to remember what happened in the 1960ââ¬Â²s when the left-wing took to the streets and somehow the media glorified them and it ended up shaping policy. We canââ¬â¢t allow that to happen.ââ¬Â
The federal government responded similarly in the 1960s and 70s when the FBI organized and unleashed its unconstitutional secret police under the covert banner of COINTELPRO.
In addition to the DHS characterizing Americans supporting statesââ¬â¢ rights and the Constitution as terrorists, the Defense Departmentââ¬â¢s Antiterrorism and Force Protection Annual Refresher Training Course in 2009 advised its personnel that [url="http://www.prisonplanet.com/protesters-march-against-bill-that-could-designate-them-terrorists.html"]political protest amounts to ââ¬Ålow-level terrorism.ââ¬Â[/url]
Elements of the Police State Coming Together
The KBR document is more evidence that the federal government has established internment camps and plans to fill them with dissidents and anti-government activists that have been demonized consistently by the establishment media.
The NDAA was crafted precisely to provide the legal mechanism for tasking the military to round up activists it conflates with al-Qaeda terrorists. The plan was initially envisioned by Rex 84 and in particular [url="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&ved=0CDcQFjAD&url=http://www.uscg.mil/directives/cim/3000-3999/CIM_3010_14.pdf&ei=iKDeTveVKK_KsQLE8b3fBg&usg=AFQjCNGpPPCcWLk2GDbUq5NuByKI2ge4UA&sig2=68f_4BZMoh03XhqoFHrAcQ"]Operation Garden Plot[/url], an operational plan to use the Army, USAF, Navy, and Marine Corp. in direct support of civil disturbance control operations. It has since added numerous elements under the rubric of Continuity of Government, the overall war on terror, civil disturbance and emergency response.
The government has patiently put into place the crucial elements of its police state grid and overarching plan for the internment of political enemies.
We are quite literally one terror event away from the plan going live. As the DHS and the establishment media keep telling us, the next terror event will be on American soil and not the work of al-Qaeda but domestic patriot political groups. The FBI has specialized in creating domestic terrorists ââ¬â or rather patsies ââ¬â and shifting the blame over to their political enemies.
