I wonder if this is a contingency for Mexico erupting into civil war and an influx of refugees.

I had a friend take a look at it and it doesn’t seem sinister on its face.

It always start out like this. Then ends up with, "Arbeit Macht Frei"

These have been works in-progress. It is just now coming up for official status.

Wonder how many patriots will spend time in those 7X7 concrete “cells”.... Or will it just be Christians? Or...

Yes. Not sinister on its face. However, note that this is part of emergency powers under FEMA, which place the US in (effective) total control of the Executive branch, specifically the WH.

Note Section 5 of the bill HR 645:

Requested budget allocation—

“SEC. 5. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.

There is authorized to be appropriated $180,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2009 and 2010 to carry out this Act. Such funds shall remain available until expended”

And check out DOD directive 14041...issued on January 23rd....

SUBJECT: DoD Civilian Expeditionary Workforce References: See Enclosure 1

1. PURPOSE. This Directive:

a. Reissues DoD Directive (DoDD) 1404.10 (Reference (a)) under a new title to establish the policy through which an appropriately sized subset of the DoD civilian workforce is preidentified to be organized, trained, and equipped in a manner that facilitates the use of their capabilities for operational requirements.

These requirements are typically away from the normal work locations of DoD civilians, or in situations where other civilians may be evacuated to assist military forces where the use of DoD civilians is appropriate.

These employees shall be collectively known as the DoD Civilian Expeditionary Workforce.

Members of the DoD Civilian Expeditionary Workforce shall be organized, trained, cleared, equipped, and ready to deploy in support of combat operations by the military; contingencies; emergency operations; humanitarian missions; disaster relief; restoration of order; drug interdiction; and stability operations of the Department of Defense in accordance with DoDD 3000.05 (Reference (b)).

I recall (details escape me momentarily) the German parliament knowingly & willfully voted wholesale powers to the Kaiser under certain conditions, which were promptly induced. The result was bad, to put it mildly.

Nice touch - not sinister my @ss!

(b) Purpose of National Emergency Centers- The purpose of a national emergency center shall be to use existing infrastructure--

(1) to provide temporary housing, medical, and humanitarian assistance to individuals and families dislocated due to an emergency or major disaster;

(2) to provide centralized locations for the purposes of training and ensuring the coordination of Federal, State, and local first responders;

(3) to provide centralized locations to improve the coordination of preparedness, response, and recovery efforts of government, private, and not-for-profit entities and faith-based organizations; and

(4) to meet other appropriate needs, as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security.

And what exactly are "other appropriate needs"?????
