Main Core: A List Of Millions Of Americans That Will Be Subject To Detention During Martial Law

By Michael Snyder
June 10th, 2013

Are you on the list? Are you one of the millions of Americans that have been designated a threat to national security by the U.S. government? Will you be subject to detention when martial law is imposed during a major national emergency? As you will see below, there is actually a list that contains the names of at least 8 million Americans known as Main Core that the U.S. intelligence community has been compiling since the 1980s. A recent article on Washington’s Blog quoted a couple of old magazine articles that mentioned this program, and I was intrigued because I didn’t know what it was. So I decided to look into Main Core, and what I found out was absolutely stunning – especially in light of what Edward Snowden has just revealed to the world. It turns out that the U.S. government is not just gathering information on all of us. The truth is that the U.S. government has used this information to create a list of threats to national security that the government would potentially watch, question or even detain during a national crisis. If you have ever been publicly critical of the government, there is a very good chance that you are on that list.

The following is how Wikipedia describes Main Core…

Main Core is the code name of a database maintained since the 1980s by the federal government of the United States. Main Core contains personal and financial data of millions of U.S. citizens believed to be threats to national security. The data, which comes from the NSA, FBI, CIA, and other sources, is collected and stored without warrants or court orders. The database’s name derives from the fact that it contains “copies of the ‘main core’ or essence of each item of intelligence information on Americans produced by the FBI and the other agencies of the U.S. intelligence community.”

It was Christopher Ketchum of Radar Magazine that first reported on the existence of Main Core. At the time, the shocking information that he revealed did not get that much attention. That is quite a shame, because it should have sent shockwaves across the nation…

According to a senior government official who served with high-level security clearances in five administrations, “There exists a database of Americans, who, often for the slightest and most trivial reason, are considered unfriendly, and who, in a time of panic, might be incarcerated. The database can identify and locate perceived ‘enemies of the state’ almost instantaneously.” He and other sources tell Radar that the database is sometimes referred to by the code name Main Core. One knowledgeable source claims that 8 million Americans are now listed in Main Core as potentially suspect. In the event of a national emergency, these people could be subject to everything from heightened surveillance and tracking to direct questioning and possibly even detention.

Of course, federal law is somewhat vague as to what might constitute a “national emergency.” Executive orders issued over the last three decades define it as a “natural disaster, military attack, [or] technological or other emergency,” while Department of Defense documents include eventualities like “riots, acts of violence, insurrections, unlawful obstructions or assemblages, [and] disorder prejudicial to public law and order.” According to one news report, even “national opposition to U.S. military invasion abroad” could be a trigger.

So if that list contained 8 million names all the way back in 2008, how big might it be today?

I’m on the list because of my posts here, I’m sure.

When the day comes that I’m facing a firing squad, my one wish is that I would be honored to face it alongside the great Ann Barnhardt, who’s been warning about the collapse of America for months.

The bad thing about this is, it’s not surprising.

It’s happened all over the world dozens of times where Socialism has taken hold.

Professors feed it to the already brainwashed kids and they eat it up with spoons.

There are a lot of young people that resemble the young dogs in Animal Farm.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

There are two organizations that I’ve heard about, of County Sheriffs that are good guys. IF you don’t know about them do a search. And get your name on a list for the search, as a bonus point!

The police and the feebs.

They are incapable of rounding up the illegals, drug dealers and criminals in this country let alone armed patriots.

Plenty of old military bases and open country.

You've been reading too much AlexJones/Paul Watson. Have you ever been to any of these alleged internment camps?

How in heck would these 8 million + people be contained?

Six million Jew were 'contained' in Germany some years ago...

It took hundreds of government troops, helicopters, tanks, etc,, and an enormous logistical effort a 2 months to murder 93 people in Waco. It’d take about 86,000 more Waco efforts to get to 8 million.

The Iwo Jima defender strategy is indeed,, a part of the resistance matrix. For extra fun, remember something else. In a dirty war, the siege crew couldn’t only focus inwards. And their homes and offices become known as soft targets in the rear.

An effort to round up 8 million would be nastier than anything anyone can imagine. And a dictatorship could not prevail. And we don’t have to imagine it, the world provides numerous examples of how it looks. Except America is still a nation of riflemen the likes of which the world has rarely seen.

Big difference between finding illegals and criminals and tracking down honest citizens. Honest citizens have addresses on file and a paperwork train that lets the JBTs know exactly where they are and who they are. They're in the system BECAUSE they follow the rules. Illegals have no such documentation or trackability. The system is designed to track and control those of us who are following the rules.

You've been reading too much AlexJones/Paul Watson

I never heard of either of them

Have you ever been to any of these alleged internment camps?

Show me where I claimed there were internment camps. Don't deliberately misquote me and then argue against the misquote. That's a liberal trick occasionally practiced by some FReepers who think they're a lot smarter than they really are.

When lists are sorted, the ‘unusuals’ are on top. Try to get a top bunk near the kitchen.
