Preparing For Civil Unrest In The USA?

Is there a firestorm waiting to start:

Rumor has it that the Democrats are getting ready for the result of Hope’n'Change… and have a bill to allow FEMA to set up detention centers on military bases in the US.  You can see more on the detention centers here.

Could they be getting ready for the civil unrest that will happen when the Obama voters realize that their check isn’t in the mail?

From San Francisco: On Jan. 22, Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla., (a former judge who was impeached and removed from the bench before being elected to Congress), introduced HR645, the National Emergency Centers Establishment Act.

This bill calls for the establishment of six centers on military installations across the United States. Previous centers were for addressing an “emergency influx of immigrants” or to support “the rapid development of new programs.” These new FEMA centers are “to provide temporary housing, medical and humanitarian assistance to individuals and families dislocated due to an emergency or major disaster.”

Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, is to date the sole member of Congress willing to raise a public stink.

“Apparently, the fusion centers, militarized police, surveillance cameras and a domestic military command is not enough,” blogged Rep. Paul. “Even though we know that detention facilities are already in place, they now want to legalize the construction of FEMA camps on military installations using the ever popular excuse that the facilities are for the purposes of a national emergency. With the phony debt-based economy getting worse and worse by the day, the possibility of civil unrest is becoming a greater threat to the establishment. One need only look at Iceland, Greece and other nations for what might happen in the United States next.”

Why, asks Paul, are these centers being constructed on military bases if they’re not for the purpose of detaining large groups of people? Obama should explain what is going on.

The specter of social unrest was raised at the U.S. Army War College in November in a monograph titled “Known Unknowns: Unconventional ‘Strategic Shocks’ in Defense Strategy Development.”

The military must be prepared, the document warned, for a “violent, strategic dislocation inside the United States,” which could be provoked by “unforeseen economic collapse,” “purposeful domestic resistance,” “pervasive public health emergencies” or “loss of functioning political and legal order.” The “widespread civil violence,” the document said, “would force the defense establishment to reorient priorities in extremis to defend basic domestic order and human security.”

“An American government and defense establishment lulled into complacency by a long-secure domestic order would be forced to rapidly divest some or most external security commitments in order to address rapidly expanding human insecurity at home,” it went on.

“Under the most extreme circumstances, this might include use of military force against hostile groups inside the United States. Further, DoD [the Department of Defense] would be, by necessity, an essential enabling hub for the continuity of political authority in a multi-state or nationwide civil conflict or disturbance,” the document read.

Scary stuff, if proven true.

The unrest is already spreading across the world… it’s a matter of time before the US feels the heat. 

Thankfully, Canada has a Conservative government – let’s hope they don’t follow the EU or Democrats with programs aimed at bankrupting the world financial system.

We could see an unexpected rise in immigration and tourism, if this is the case.
