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’ve got a protest or two in me...Where? When? I think a 10-20 million man march on Washington is called for at this point.

Wait, how many people did Mr. B say is on that list?

What do you call 8 million identified and profiled conservatives?

A good start towards identifying & tracking that 25 - 35 Million or so that will be “unconvertible” who were described by the commie bustards years ago when discussing their new vision for trhe USA.

It’s happening now folks ... a couple of recent news stories:

.... bill proposed to make it a felony to look sideways at a cop and ... warantless confiscation of cellphones ....

And Oh BTW, King Bohener has proclaimed Snowden a “traitor” for blowing the whistle on their latest unconstitutional activities ..............

Slow boiling of the frogs ........

Anyone know yet when the Second Coming is coming??????????

What these idiots of this administration don't understand, this country is bigger than all of them. Right will prevail in the end.

God does pick sides, contrary to progressive belief. He will choose his time and place.

Right there with your Catholic, pro-life, freedom loving American. We will prevail!

When Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn led the domestic terrorist group Weather Underground in 1969, a chance meeting led Army veteran Larry Grathwohl into joining the group. Grathwohl served as a courier, running messages between the group’s leadership (called the “Weather Bureau”) and individual cells that were to carry out attacks.

Grathwohl was also an informant for the FBI.

In an interview from the 1982 documentary No Place To Hide that recently surfaced, Grathwohl discussed what the Weathermen intended to do after overthrowing the U.S. government, including what they would do with those Americans who refused to embrace communism.

I asked, “Well what is going to happen to those people we can’t reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?” And the reply was that they’d have to be eliminated.

And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers.

And when I say “eliminate,” I mean “kill.”

Twenty-five million people.

I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which have graduate degrees, from Columbia and other well-known educational centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people.

And they were dead serious.

Nah... Didn’t think so. Just trying to be funny.

It’s that “grim humor” thing. Bad situations bring it out in me every time.

This regime plans to kill, not incarcerate.

The difference between Americans and other peoples who have been murdered and opressed is attitude and the fact that we are armed. The regime can not swoop down and take 8 million in one swoop. Someone will have a bad attitude about the first situation and open fire. Then the taffy will be ready to pull.

I’m going to guess that the majority of these eight million(or whatever that number is now) are gun-owning constitutionalists. If so, and no pun intended, a round up of millions would be a trigger event for CWII.

I’m too old to re-educate, too old to care very much about dying but at 63, I can still shoulder a weapon, hit what I’m aiming at and am well enough equipped to hold out for awhile. I’m big, mean and know how to handle myself in a fight. I might lose a fight but no one will enjoy winning it. That’s my promise.

Larry Grathwohl quoting Bill Ayers (you know, the guy on the other end of Obama's super-secret Blackberry):

I asked, “Well what is going to happen to those people we can’t reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?” And the reply was that they’d have to be eliminated.

And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers.

There's not going to be a lot of 'detaining' for us. They're just not into 'detaining'.
