Detention centers.

Why the sudden need and why build more when the existing ones are empty? No one has explained this adequately to me. Who is to be put there and on what authority? When will they be put there? Will there be judicial review?

1. I don't know but a empty Fed Jail here in IL

All of a sudden has a hell of a lot of people working there. Be worried very worried Bush might call martial law

[mmonk]

2. When did you notice the change?

[Monkeyman]

4. About a month ago

People around the jail wanted jobs there but its all outside people coming in. Il under Ryan built it but never used. Strange is it not.

5. Yes it is.

When I was last at the beach here in NC two weeks ago, I noticed one of the marine airfields at Camp Lejuene along the side of highway 24 and remembered a list I saw on the internet of proposed detention centers that listed it as one and I got chills whether or not the list was real or a hoax. I would love not having it on my mind or at least hearing explanations for them.

3. They're anticipating civil unrest...

...from the larger subset of the U.S. population that would like their country back.

The writing's on the wall.

6. Civil unrest? Sure. But the cause...

perhaps peak oil, perhaps famine due to climate
change and peak oil.

Or maybe something else...

[mmonk]

7. My guess is something else.

8. I doubt they're worried about peak oil. They are arrogant.

I think they think they can manipulate and manage the economic hardship of the masses through fear (why worry about poverty and loss, when the government says you should just be happy you're not dead in a terrorist attack!)

My bet is on 9/11 version 2.0

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

9. Maybe mass demonstrations protesting...

...what appears to be our imminent attack on Iran, or maybe another set of stolen elections, or maybe the Fed's non-response to the next Katrina, or maybe a re-instituted draft, or maybe revelations about their role in 9-11, or maybe the imposition of martial law after the next 9-11---who knows.

They're anticipating trouble and they're making plans for it. I think they intend to make examples out of the first wave of mass demonstrations before they can gain traction and grow into something beyond their control.

10. That's the big question. Anticipating or planning?

Going on a probability about a certain action? You don't implement something of this nature on a whim or some mere future possibility just in case. Somebody is going in those things as they see it and I'd surely like to know who they are planning to send. Maybe revolution in Mexico and expecting refugee surges?

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

12. I think they envision camps filled with political dissenters.

11. It could be for the native american deportees?

c'est possible.
