“He says he cannot debunk the existence of such camps in the US.”
So? I can’t debunk UFOs but it isn’t logical to say therefore they exist.

We are located 60 miles NE of a major city and back in the 80’s, according to one local paper, our county was designated as a possible emergency relief zone for that city. Those plans are already (and have been) in place for ages.
They just don’t talk about it. If you live outside a major metropolitan area along interstate corridors, your community is most likely “part of the plan”.
State & Federal Parks, sports stadiums, school campuses, farmland etc can all temporarily support refugees, gov’t trailers and tents.
FEMA “camp”: where ever the trailers and tents end up—

I can’t debunk their existence either. They exist there is no question about that, so it’s not trying to prove a negative as you say.
That said however besides having fun with conspiracy theories, I’m can’t say that they are part of some giant conspiracy to house political prisoners, conservatives, Chinese prisoners of war when they invade California via cargo ships, leftists, illegal immigrants, gun owners, or whatever the flavor of the week is talking about these camps.
What’s unConstitutional about combat-ready brigades???
Ever actually been in a combat brigade?
Ever been on DRF1 alert in a combat-ready brigade?
You do know that every infantry division has a brigade that is combat-ready at all times.....packed up and ready to deploy with all their gear at the airbase......don’t you? Well...that’s how it was 10+ years ago in the 25th ID......maybe now all combat brigades are all on leave at all times.
Less than 1 road mile from my home is a four lane. This is in a rural area. It has been planned, and is, part of an evacuation route from DC to points west and south. Matter of fact, the completion of the last part in the state (in the mountains east of me) is on tap for part of the stimulus. Often I've read of our governor attending meetings with other governors to make plans for just such an evacuation. What I have never heard or read though, is just how the government plans to deal with those evacuees who decide to turn off this four lane into the surrounding countryside. Just about the time these evacuees get to my area, a wholebunchalotta gas gauges are gonna be nudgin' "E".
And many of them will be in busses. No mayor is ever going to make that mistake again. We want to move out of this corridor area. I don't want to ever have to deal with a "post katrina" style evacuation in my back yard.
Folks here have already starting talking informally about how to contain just such a situation by themselves. No gov’t involvement, just neighbors bent on self-preservation.
Isn’t it interesting how clear-minded conservative Americans talk amongst themselves and yet there doesn’t seem to be anyone we put in office who represents those very issues we talk about?
Would that be Robert C Byrd Highway from nowhere to nowhere?

They have had plans since the late ‘50s.
Most of the old civil defense storehouses were dismantled in the ‘90s. A friend of mine got a tour when they were decommissioning one. It had a lot of medical equipment, but stored drugs were all morphine and Thorazine.
Alcee Hastings has been pushing a version of HR 645 for years to no avail.
anyone know where Art Bell is these days? I heard he was leaving the US and moving to the Philippines?
He went to the Philippines for a while and came back with a young (21ish) wife. Has a new baby. Retired. Occasionally hosts the show on weekends.
