I don't see why you so shoked and suprise, it's not the first time it's happening in the course of American history, of course it's was not called concentration camps but internment camps or reservations. _________________ "Against stupidity, the Gods themselves struggle in vain" - Friedrich von Schiller |

Yes but those were for possible sympathizers to Japan and 'indians' that were 'savages' as understood in that time frame. These camps that are being produced are for Americans...with no other classfication as 'you do not worship the government'. _________________

So it's make their existence okay? just like you could claim that in WWII the American of Japanese decent was imprisoned to being possible sympathizers to Japan (of course the only prove to this claim was their etnichty) probably they will claim today that those that will be imprisoned are sympathizers to the terrorists. _________________ "Against stupidity, the Gods themselves struggle in vain" - Friedrich von Schiller |

I mean that those times were 'rationalized' for thier ethinic background like you said, but that does not make it right. Have you read the book from a Japannesse America that pacakages the camps as good and helpful? ( i saw her on Cspan about a year ago and just was disgusted) The difference im tyring to make here is that all americans are subject to this. This will not effect ethinic backgrounds but political ideas?!
I disagree with the camps in WW2 and the reservations and trail of tears. Those were done when ignorance was great, possible at the same levels of to today. By this i mean ideas are more dangerous then my skin color, thus we will be 'classfied as second class citizens' based on our dissent rather then a ignorant racist pretext. _________________

I would take there word for it and say to imprisoned immigrants (even now there people imprisoned beacause that there is no country that will take them back and the USA refuse to release they into the country, so infact they jail for life) and possible to house prisoners of war if the USA will go to another military campain. _________________ "Against stupidity, the Gods themselves struggle in vain" - Friedrich von Schiller |

The current two targets of the US are North Korea and Iran, they will never attack North Korea beacause the fear of the North Koreans will retaliate with nuclear weapons, as for Iran there always has the possiblty that they will back down, the European will get with to some sort of compromise or the USA just let Israel do it's dirty work. _________________ "Against stupidity, the Gods themselves struggle in vain" - Friedrich von Schiller |

| Holy Halliburton, Batman! |
|
This news is very interesting indeed.
I suspect one of the reasons for this little project has to do with the $385 million that is being funneled to Halliburton. (as if they haven't already received enough profit thanks to this administration). It could just be that the government is paying them to dig a hole and fill it back up again -- a do-nothing project that serves no real purpose, yet will make the stockholders pay-off a little larger this year.
But the aren't just digging holes, are they. I don't mean to sound paranoid, but the question as to why our country needs these detention centers is a legitimate one -- especially when their excuse is that we need the camps in case of an "Immigration Emergency".
Now, I am certainly no fan of illegal immigration, but this has got to be one of the lamest excuses I have ever heard. What "immigration emergency" are they fucking talking about? Are they expecting 3 million Mexicans to cross the border at one time? Are they expecting the entire Cuban population to suddenly strap on life vests and start swimming for American shores?
Do "they" know something we don't? Why is it necessary to build all these camps now? If an emergency were to arrive, how long do you think it would take to string some barbed wire across a field and build a few gun towers? Either the government is afraid some major catastrophe is impending, or they just like squandering tax-payer dollars (squandering it in the direction of Halliburton).
News about detention camps are bad enough, but especially since this government (both parties) don't seem to have any qualms about putting people in cages. Does anybody remember the Freedom Cages which are now used to contain protestors and the Democratic and Republican national conventions?
I just can't wait until some pinhead in this administration starts calling these detention centers "Freedom Camps".

Yes thank you BB for helping provide pictures of some camps. I am not as computer savy as some. Yes i took of my tin foil hat when i was reading these articles and listening on the radio. Here is a few more links. I believe i quoted the military link before but it serves its purpose again.
http://www.infowars.com/articles/ps/gulags_for_american_citizens_in_final_stages.htm
http://www.army.mil/usapa/epubs/pdf/r210_35.pdf
Also if the no fly zone list is applied to these camps i wonder how that will fair, especially since many us citizens are on that list have no ties to terrorism. We have discussed why members are on that list b/c of a system BB brought up before.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/02/14/AR2006021402125.html
I personally believe that list will sky rocket in the coming weeks because of open discussions in the senate committes between the executive agencies and Congress. They wish to seek out any dissent. On a similar note does anyone remember the plan that Florida tried to start up a few months ago. I remember the 'in your face' that you must supply ID on demand from the police anytime they want it for any reason. Ill be showing them my Constitution 4th amendment pocket size addition when they ask me.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rex_84
This link distrubs me greatly that our government under Regan believed that the Constitution can be waved away at the presidents will(can we say civil war would insue?) and that the president would be the law maker and judiciary then? That whole idea is very scary, but even more is that this is openly talked about in the current administration that the next terrorist attack 'anything goes' ideology is being pushed on the American people. I guess im in the minority when i say that 'no matter what you can not wave away the Constitution" Thus the motto of New Hampshire is one i adhere to "Live Free or Die"
I find the use of Camps to be rather disturbing to say the least. Now a little conspiracy i have been pondering for the last few weeks; i would like to share it with this board and see if anyone else agrees or disagrees and why.
Conspiracy
I have been listening to the various executive branch agencies claiming the president can 'contiune to enforce the Patriot Act even if it is not renewed" and "The NSA, Port deal and various other activities of our current Executive branch" are immune from review and are granted to the President in the Constitution. I believe the phrase "Commander and Chief" is used to allow this to happen and another clause.
Now with that previous paragraph in mind, the Current Patriot Act will contain various infringments on liberty again and proceed to dismantle the Constituion's bill of rights further. We now add the Katrina response of Gun confiscations and removal of persons' from thier property with extreme force. Also the ever growing 'free speech zones only' protest sites and the Stop and ask for ID with out any probable cause in cities to 'show the citizens the local cops are fighting terrorism". Now throw in the Camps and you have a pre nazi gernmany with all the bells and whistles that technology will bring allow the US to stay in control completely. I.E. RFID tags and ID cards, GPS tracking i.e. Onstar Cameras every where and a total lock down on any movement.
With all this in mind i seem to believe the elements of tyranny is in place but we are waiting for the cataylist to start the ball rolling. _________________

| Google's Subpoena |
|
Just following up on this "Google subpoena" thing. It looks like the hearing will take place in 5 days.
| From Judge postpones Google subpoena hearing |
Google's attempt to fend off the government's request for millions of search terms will move to a federal court in San Jose, Calif., on March 13.
U.S. District Judge James Ware on Thursday delayed the hearing, originally scheduled for Feb. 27, for an extra two weeks without giving an explanation. The outcome will determine whether the U.S. Justice Department will prevail in its fight to force Google to help it defend an anti-pornography law in a trial in Philadelphia this fall.
Although the Justice Department also demanded that Yahoo, Microsoft and America Online hand over similar records, Google was the only recipient that chose to fight the subpoena in court. After the spat became public last week, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said:" This is important for the Department of Justice and we will pursue this matter."
[...]
The request is part of the Justice Department's attempt to defend the constitutionality of the Child Online Protection Act. The law orders commercial Web sites to shield minors from materials that may be "harmful" to them--or face prison time--a requirement that the American Civil Liberties Union claims violates free expression rights.
|
The "funny" thing is that the Feds just don't seem to understand why Google is raising such a fuss....
| From Feds: Google's privacy concerns unfounded |
The U.S. Justice Department has denied requesting anything from Google that could threaten the privacy of the search engine's users, as the company recently contended.
And by trying to block the government's efforts to review a week's worth of search terms, Google is holding up efforts to protect children from pornography, according to a brief filed Friday by the Justice Department.
The information that the Justice Department requested is to be used in a study to help the Bush administration defend the 1998 Child Online Protection Act (COPA), an Internet pornography law. The government is seeking to highlight flaws in Web-filtering technology during a trial this fall.
Google maintains that complying with the government's request would mean disclosing important trade secrets, take up too many of the company's resources to produce and harm its reputation with users.
The issue has raised red flags among privacy-watchdog groups, which fear that Web sites could be used to spy on Americans or limit their right to free speech. The American Civil Liberties Union is challenging COPA, arguing that Web sites cannot realistically comply with it and that the law violates the right to freedom of speech mandated by the First Amendment.
|
The Supreme Court blocked the enforcement of COPA in 2004 on the grounds that the law was unconstitutional. So now the supporters of COPA want to confiscate Google's search data, and use this data to prove that censorship is necessary.
Just in case you missed it, let me repeat that ... The Feds want to invade everybody's privacy, all in the name of Censorship.
Makes sense to me. What's Google's problem?

Yes, the very base of the concentration camp idea is to hold imprisoned ethnic group and/or political enemies.
I Only mentioned the internement camps and reservations beacause HK-88 seem shocked to hear the news of the building on concentration camps, the example was suppose to show him it's happend before and it's nothing new. _________________ "Against stupidity, the Gods themselves struggle in vain" - Friedrich von Schiller |

i already knew of those and the US Govt appologized for them. Also there was legitamite reason to believe a west coast invasion of Japan would of spurred an uprising of the japannessee in that region, but it was a very small one.
These new camps are not big enough to hold the 20+ million illegals in america now; but they are large enough to hold the 4-7 million Americans that oppose the Government's seizing of power of the last few decades, especially in the last 7 years. Political dissidents will be the first to go. _________________
