Houston-based KBR, formerly the engineering and construction subsidiary of Halliburton Co., has a contingency contract in place with the Department of Homeland Security to construct detention facilities in the event of a national emergency.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, spokeswoman Jamie Zuieback confirmed yesterday in a telephone interview that the KBR contract for $385 million was awarded initially in January 2006 for a one-year base period with four one-year options. It has been extended into 2007. KBR held a previous emergency detention contract with ICE from 2000 to 2005.
Zuieback told this writer the primary intent of the KBR contract was to build temporary detention facilities that could be used in the event of a mass migration across the border that required ICE to respond on a quick basis to an illegal-immigration crisis.
"The idea of the KBR contract is to support the Army Corp of Engineers," Zuieback explained, "in case we experienced a sudden mass immigration and we had to respond quickly. We would need immediate detention facilities in the form of temporary housing that would enable us to determine if the large numbers of illegal immigrants were political or economically motivated, or if they were criminals or terrorists."
Zuieback confirmed that the KBR contract for detention facilities could apply to national emergencies, including natural disasters.
Several times, Zuieback insisted in the telephone interview that the KBR contract was a "contingency contract," specifying that detention facilities were to be built only when an immigration emergency or a national emergency, including a natural disaster, had been declared.
Heather Browne, spokeswoman for KBR, also sent me an e-mail yesterday confirming KBR built a temporary facility in New Orleans that provided cantonment for up to 500 federal detention officers who were tasked with maintaining law and order during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Last week, WND reported President Bush had signed May 9 a little-reported National Security and Homeland Security Directive (NSPD-51 and NSPD-20) that granted extraordinary powers to the president in the event of a declared national emergency, apparently without congressional approval or oversight.
NSPD-51/HSPD-20, published on the White House website, rescinds Presidential Decision Directive 67 signed by Bill Clinton Oct. 21, 1998, and establishes a new White House office of the National Continuity Coordinator, a position now occupied by Frances Fragos Townsend, the assistant to the president for Homeland Security and Terrorism.
The new directive concentrates an unprecedented amount of emergency authority in the office of the president, specifying that the president now has the authority to direct "National Essential Functions" of all federal state, local, territorial and tribal governments, as well as private sector organizations in the event of a national emergency.
The directive loosely defines "catastrophic emergency" as "any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions."
The KBR contingency contract appears to give ICE the ability to have detention facilities constructed under the president's direction in response to a national emergency as declared under NSPD-51/HSPD-20.
The initial White House press release announcing the presidential directive included no background explanation of the directive or statement by the president. The press release merely posted NSPD-51/HSPD-20 on the White House website.
Sections 23 and 24 of NSPD-51/HSPD-20 specify that Annex A and the classified Continuity Annexes are incorporated into the directive, even though they remain secret and are not available for examination as part of the published document.
Still, Zuieback said she was not familiar with NSPD-51/HSPD-20. At her request, this writer e-mailed to her the White House website link to the directive posting.
The White House declined comment on the initial WND story and has not yet responded to the story or to my previous column on the subject.

LOL!
I see the mods were quick to move this to chat, where most people wouldn't find it.
Having studied the topic to fulfill my job requirements as acting head of the University Library Special Collections Dept 1965-1969 . . .
and observing in the years since . . . that the globalist/socialists/communists
HAVE ACHIEVED
approximately 80-90% of the goals they wrote about
IN THEIR OWN HOUSE ORGAN PUBLICATIONS in 1965 and earlier . . .
there is
But I certainly have no capacity to prevent
UTTER BLIND DENIAL
and suicidal sticking of one's head in the sand.
It should be no surprise. Scripture outlined what would happen after Israel became a nation again in a day . . . after the 70 AD dispersal--which was also prophesied . . .
1. an evil tyrannical globalist government.
2. a MARK OF THE BEAST without which no one would be able to buy or sell . . . the CHIP IMPLANT ID/CREDIT/DEBIT/MED RECORD data chip come to mind?
3. Jerusalem would be a burdensome heavy weight around the neck of the whole world.
4. Knowledge would be increased over the whole world enormously.
5. Travel would be rapid and massively increased over the whole world.
6. Signs in the skies, heavens would be multiplied markedly . . . discoveries in astronomy as well as UFO etc. phenomena come to mind?
. . . there are many more such . . .
So . . . one can deny the statements of the UN, International Trade organizations; international labor organizations; international aid organizations--
IN THEIR OWN HOUSE-ORGAN PUBLICATIONS THE LAST 50-60 YEARS OR MORE . . .
One can call their plans a "theory" if one is in denial enough to do so.
One can ignore the statements on the Georgia Guidestones including reducing the world's population to 500,000,000 if one chooses to persistently look the other way . . .
Above is a link about the GEORGIA GUIDESTONES erected by the globalists glorifying their evil goals in sweet sounding rhetoric.
One can deny the sweep of Biblical prophecy coming true almost month by month if not week by week . . .
One can deny the news stories . . . and the iron grip the globalists have on the MSM . . .
One can deny the death grip the globalists have on education K-Phd level . . . .
One can deny things like the NORTH AMERICAN UNION and the INTERNATIONAL LAW OF THE SEA . . . all destroying USA sovereignty
One CAN label all the above theory . . .
And the goons from hell will continue to laugh horrifically at such willful or naive blindness.
I would MUCH prefer it were merely theory. Except that the truth of it means that the coming of my Lord Jesus The Christ is that much closer.
I am in much agreement with your post. It’s going to be a reality and much sooner than we hope.
I just read a Newsmax article that Al Qaeda has 7 cities in mind for nuclear attack. I recall a prophecy I think I sent to you regarding seven cities. I’m not sure they’re the same ones. I had heard Cincinnati and Montreal and they aren’t on this list. It’s scary. Glad I have Jesus.
I had heard earlier on that these detention centers DO exist and at one point they will be used to house Christians during end times stuff. I wouldn’t be so swife to discount all of this. It’s all falling into place.
Corsi has outdone himself.
He really is a scholar and can back up each and every story with documented sources (not bogus) and only semi-credible, semi-conservatives such as Michael Medved, trash him.
He has been absolutely correct on the TransNational Highway and those of us here in the metro Kansas City area know what he means as the Bush/VicenteFox pact secured a Mexican Consulate supervised and Mexican run company to oversee Mexican trucks carrying "goods" between Mexico, U.S. and Canada.
Area Hispanic running point man in K.C. continues to claim that nothing nefarious at all is going on when local properties that will contain future SmartPort offices/warehouses/employees, for which is all being done in secret.
Jesus is certainly the only Hope of anyone in any era.
Especially ours.
imho, right you are.
Corsi has also researched, cataloged and written about Iran’s nuclear propensities and is and has been proved absolutely right on, on each and every item.
Can you figure out what is meant by the statements I have broken out below?
KBR awarded Homeland Security contract worth up to $385MBy Katherine Hunt

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — KBR, the engineering and construction subsidiary of Halliburton Co. said Tuesday it has been awarded a contingency contract from the Department of Homeland Security to supports its Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities in the event of an emergency. The maximum total value of the contract is $385 million and consists of a 1-year base period with four 1-year options. KBR held the previous ICE contract from 2000 through 2005. The contract, which is effective immediately, provides for establishing temporary detention and processing capabilities to expand existing ICE Detention and Removal Operations Program facilities in the............................
..... event of an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S., or to support the rapid development of new programs,........
KBR said. The contract may also provide
.......migrant detention support to other government organizations in the event of an immigration emergency,.....
as well as the development of a plan to react to a national emergency, such as a natural disaster, the company said.
Was he the one George Noory called a friend . . .
and Noory looked him in the eye and asked him point blank whether such things were absolutely true, or not.
And Corsi looked him square in the eye and emphatically insisted they were quite true . . . and somewhat the tip of the ice berg.
I’m not sure it was the guy but I think Corsi was the guy.
Sobering.
Yes, He is. Without Him, we’re toast (literally—smile).
