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?

uh....not on list?
I’m guessing every member of FR is automatically put on the list, as are most lurkers. It is characteristic of conservatives that we are all armed. So that would explain why Obama wanted so badly to ban guns during the last 5 months, and why his DH-Stapo is buying billions of rounds of ammunition.
Maybe we’ll have our own wing.
Good one.
I don't have audio.
Well when potential Enemies of the State outnumber those who would have to arrest them 15:1, what you gonna do?

There were about 12 million liquidated by the Nazis and I am sure there were not 12 million Gestapo.
They are coming for heterosexual, christian, married, patriotic, gun owning males, first.
Not at all, I’m sure you can find room for them.
They don’t care about me yet, I can pass for Pookie and Ray-Ray, it’s when I open my mouth and that’s when they will have a problem!
You’re boring

Yes, "not on list". Would that be another 100,000, million or more? The authorities have no way of knowing.
“Moscow, Peking, and Havana.” If that is all you radioed with you’re probably okay. As long as you didn’t communicate with anyone from Texas or North Dakota.
Hulka is apparently a hit’n’run poster. Interesting.
Anyone? You aren't just acting dumb, are you?
I wondered what happened to him.
Well, I still have that old radio around here someplace!
way too big for caskets
Awww, you hurt my feelings. ;/)
The only way to not be on the list is to have voted democrat in 2008, 2010 and 2012. In my state there is a bar code on the ballot. When picking up a ballot to vote the bar code is scanned where my name is tied to that ballot, so I have made another list. If this is the procedure in your state and you did not vote democrat in 2008, 2010 and 2012, you too made the list. Congratulations!
