Obama’s FEMA Camps
Recently
by Scott Lazarowitz: Senators
Who Love the Government But Hate America
According to
this
article and this
article, Obama’s FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency)
is getting camps ready for not only the post-economic collapse,
but for political dissidents and critics of government criminality.
This will be made possible by Congress’s just having codified
into law Obama’s dictatorship by giving him the power to treasonously
turn the military against the American people. Thanks to the imbeciles
and criminals of Congress, Obama can have anyone apprehended and
detained indefinitely, merely by labeling someone a “terrorist,”
at his discretion, without any evidence presented against the accused,
without any charges or trial.
Now, those
two linked articles go to Infowars.com.
Some people have smeared Infowars as a “conspiracy theory”
website, but Alex Jones and his crew are very responsible and conscientious
researchers and reporters, and they present and link to information
that documents and gives evidence to their assertions of government
“conspiracies.” So, they are not ‘theorists,” they
are conspiracy factualists. And you can see various things
by Gov. Jesse Ventura as well. While Ventura actually calls his
show “Conspiracy Theory,” he goes out on location and
investigates such theories and allegations of possible government
wrongdoing, and, especially from this
unbelievable video posted just recently (especially starting
at about 25 minutes into it), you can decide for yourself whether
Ventura is just a “theorist” or a factualist.
In that linked
video, Ventura exposes a large “residential” center, with
locked front doors and surrounded by high fences with barbed wire
facing inward. While it looks exactly like a prison, there were
children playing on swings in one area within the grounds. Thanks
to the emotionally frantic, post-9/11 dupes
for the Bush/Obama’s police state, we seem to be on the road to
Soviet-Nazi tyranny — unless someone actually takes action such
as arresting Obama and those aforementioned senators and congressmen
and charging these government officials with treason.
Yes, I know
there are many people who are in denial, and so trusting of their
beloved government, especially their federal government, regardless
of how much the government
abuses them. “They would never do anything of
a criminal nature to us.” But just look at Katrina,
and the BP-government
police state with that oil spill last year. Look at what our
military people have done to the people
of Iraq and Afghanistan,
and Pakistan.
As I pointed out in this
article, look at what our military people have been doing to
their
own fellow comrades.
Being in denial will not help you when you are a target of military
aggression, let alone a target of your local police.

how dangerous a government’s military could be.
And, regarding
this new law codifying Obama’s dictatorship and his merely labeling
someone a “terrorist” without evidence shown, only someone
extremely naive could think that Obama or any political ruler or
prospective one such as Romney wouldn’t have his goons nab someone
who challenges their power grabs and who openly presents views that
could convince others to withdraw support of the Regime.
Unfortunately,
the naive and gullible dupes for police statism cry,”But we
have to allow officials to sweep up those ‘terrorists’
based on the judgment of military personnel or police (and without
evidence) because we can’t wait for the process of a trial
with a jury to prove someone’s guilt and then imprison him, we have
to risk rounding up innocents!”
One thing that
Gov. Ventura noted in the video was that, with all this stuff, we’re
headed for either tyranny or liberty.
Interestingly,
there were two deaths this week of two world leaders who contrasted
one another in that liberty-tyranny fork in the road: Kim Jong-Il,
the crazy dictator from North Korea; and Vaclav Havel, the sensible
political dissident who opposed communist Soviet rule and worked
for freedom in his country of the Czech Republic (formerly a merged
Czech and Slovak Czechoslovakia).
According to
Wikipedia, Havel, a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, “was a founding
signatory of the Prague Declaration on European Conscience and Communism,
that proposed the establishment of the European Day of Remembrance
for Victims of Stalinism and Nazism. He also received the United
States Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Philadelphia Liberty Medal,
the Order of Canada, the freedom medal of the Four Freedoms Award,
the Ambassador of Conscience Award and several other distinctions.”
(Need I say, beyond what I’ve exhaustively already
written, what Nobel Peace Prize winner Obama has done?)
While still
in Czechoslovakia under Soviet dictatorial rule, Havel founded the
Committee
for the Defense of the Unjustly Prosecuted, whose main goal
was to educate the population about the persecution of dissidents,
people who disagree with government policy and either withdraw their
consent and/or openly and actively work to make changes. Yes, the
U.S. has the American Civil Liberties Union, and other similar organizations,
but it seems that, especially with the latest acts of Congress and
Obama and their implicit threats to jail American dissidents, “civil
liberties” organizations in the U.S. seem as powerless as they
seemed to be in the Soviet Union until the late 1980s.
One of Havel’s
first acts as President of Czechoslovakia, before it split into
the Czech Republic and Slovakia, was to give amnesty to and release
the country’s political prisoners. Can we possibly expect any U.S.
president to do the same here? Particularly with the War on Drugs,
which imprisons a much higher proportion of inner-city minorities
than others amongst the general population. But what exactly will
Obama, the military and FEMA (and Obama’s
ACORN
and Obama’s obedient union
militants)
do to political dissidents in the U.S., especially if there is to
be economic collapse, civil unrest, looting and so forth?
And, in contrast
to Vaclav Havel and all his work toward greater freedom and individual
liberty, what did Kim Jong-Il do? According to
Human Rights Watch,
“Kim
Jong-Il exercised total control for 17 years over one of the world’s
most closed and repressive governments. He was responsible for the
deaths of hundreds of thousands, and perhaps millions, of North
Koreans through widespread preventable starvation, horrendous prisons
and forced labor camps, and public executions. Kim family rule,
starting with his father, Kim Il-Sung in 1948, is projected to continue
with Kim Jong-Il’s son, Kim Jong-Un…
“Kim
Jong-Il’s legacy includes the fate of the tens of thousands who
have died in the kwanliso camps for alleged enemies of the state,
where today an estimated 200,000 North Koreans continue to work
and die in conditions of near starvation and brutal abuse. In this
system, the sins of one member of the family condemn an entire generation
to imprisonment. A steady stream of former prisoners who escaped
North Korea have testified to Human Rights Watch and other organizations
how even children born inside such camps grow up to inherit their
parents’ prisoner status.
“Leaving
the country without official permission is considered an act of
treason, punishable by torture and imprisonment, yet tens of thousands
have fled in the last two decades, and thousands more continue to
risk their lives every year to escape.”
The way that
Jesse Ventura described those “residential” facilities
with barbed wire run by FEMA and Homeland Security, it would seem
like Dick Cheney, Obama and Janet Napolitano are learning about
government-civilian relations more from Kim Jong-Il than from Vaclav
Havel.
One wonders
about what kind of country America has become when we have the choice
between Statist A or Statist B, the Affirmative Action President
Obama who collects Spider Man and Conan the Barbarian
comics, or Romney who put
his dog on the roof of the car for a long trip. (Who would do
that?)
And in the
current Obama Administration, we have the Office of Information
and Regulatory Affairs chief Cass Sunstein, who wants to “cognitively
infiltrate” Internet websites and social networking sites,
and we have an Obama Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan who said
that freedom of speech “depends upon a categorical balancing
of the value of the speech against its societal costs” (i.e.
government-approved
speech).
And a “science
czar,” John Holdren, who believes
that a born human infant “will ultimately develop
into a human being,” but believes that trees
should have rights to sue in court. And Obama’s former health
care czar and current director of the National Institute of Health
bioethics (sic) department, Dr. Zeke Emanuel, believes
the government should have the power and control to allocate
and ration health care, not the doctors and patients.
Why does it
seem that so many people in government are just plain nuts?
As the Economic
Collapse Blog noted
in this article, the legacy of Kim Jong-Il and his North Korean
regime is one of “weirdness,” just plain crazy yet frightening
stuff. The writer concludes, “Please do not let that happen
to America.” I think it already is happening, and we have good
reason to believe that. Just where are the Vaclav Havels of our
time? (I think we know the answer to that question!)
The real crimes
in America are not being committed by or planned by private civilians
who believe in personal and economic freedom, private property and
the philosophy of Live and Let Live, and who want to speak
out against intrusions and threats posed by those with armed, compulsory
government legal authority and power.
No, the real
crimes are those of our government officials who are extremely clueless
about liberty and who are totally drunk with power grabs. Seizing
and detaining innocent civilians? Suppressing speech and political
dissent? “Emergency” camps? Government degenerates and
outlaws have become the most dangerous amongst our increasingly
vulnerable population under centralized rule.
