Did anyone here about FEMA / Ridge trying to get Sheriff's departments under FEMA control? I heard this on shortwave. Not sure how much validity there is to it.
The above actions (in the article you posted) are all part of the Federal Response Plan and "consequence management." after a national crisis occurrs.
I wrote a 55 page report that details how this "consequent management" works, the authority, documents, etc..
I have made it available (
Free of course), if you want to read up on how all of this works.
