Free Republic

Would Congress ever pass legislation that would allow the executive to determine at its own discretion whether political opponents had crossed the line into domestic terrorists and build camps in which to keep them? Sounds like something out of 20th-century totalitarian systems or dystopian fiction. Mark Tapscott says it’s not fiction , and he warns readers about an effort by Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL) to do just that: Rep. Alcee Hastings - the impeached Florida judge Nancy Pelosi tried to install as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee until her own party members rebelled - introduced an amendment to the...

Remember that Department of Homeland Security Report warning people to "watch out" for returning veterans as well as those who oppose government policy on guns, abortion, immigration, states' rights, etc. Well hows this for scary? Florida Congressman Alcee Hasting put an amendment on the defense bill that would allow the White House categorize political opponents as hate groups, throw them in jail. It gets worse, Hastings is also sponsoring a bill that will build prison camps to house these political opponents. Holy Cow, This is America:

What's wrong with this picture? The federal government spends billions on homeland security, but apparently can't stop foreigners from illegally crossing the border or overstaying their visas. The Obama administration wants to bring violent terrorists captured overseas to the mainland and close the military detention center at Guantanamo Bay. Yet in the latest bizarre twist, legislation quietly making its way through Congress would give the White House power to categorize political opponents as hate groups and even send Americans to detention centers on abandoned military bases. Rep. Alcee Hastings - the impeached Florida judge Nancy Pelosi tried to install as...

Nancy Pelosi was unable to install disgraced former judge Alcee Hastings — who was impeached for bribery and perjury, and then hit a further low by cochairing Shrillary's presidential campaign — as Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. But that doesn't mean this felonious Congresscritter (D-FL) hasn't been busily participating in the destruction of our country. An amendment to a bill swiftly moving through the US Congress will allow the Obama Administration's Attorney General to classify Americans as domestic terrorists if they are pro-life, pro-gun and anti-big government. Impeached Florida judge — now a Democrat Party member of the House...

Writer Jerome Corsi is reporting on WorldNetDaily that former, disgraced federal judge, now Rep. Alcee L. Hastings (D-Fla.), an Obama apparatchik, has introduced a new bill calling for the government to establish six concentration camps for “corralling civilians on military installations.” The bill, HR 645, creates camps that are similar to the concentration camps used to house political dissidents in Nazi Germany. According to the proposed bill, the purpose of the National Emergency Centers is “to provide temporary housing as well as medical, and humanitarian assistance to individuals and families dislocated due to an emergency or major disaster. The broad...

by Gina L. DiorioHow would you like to know you could be carted off to a military installation at the whim of the Secretary of Homeland Security? If that sounds ominous, it should.But that’s what could happen under a bill proposed last month by Congressman Alcee Hastings (D-FL).The National Emergency Centers Establishment Act (HR 645) requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to “establish not fewer than 6 national emergency centers on military installations.” And according to the bill text, the four-fold purpose of the centers will be: To provide temporary housing, medical, and humanitarian assistance to individuals and families dislocated due...

Rep. Alcee L. Hastings, D-Fla., has introduced to the House of Representatives a new bill, H.R. 645, calling for the secretary of homeland security to establish no fewer than six national emergency centers for corralling civilians on military installations. The proposed bill, which has received little mainstream media attention, appears designed to create the type of detention center that those concerned about use of the military in domestic affairs fear could be used as concentration camps for political dissidents, such as occurred in Nazi Germany. Heed the warning of a former Hitler Youth who sees America on the same path...

Representative Alcee Hastings (D-Fla) has introduced legislation (H. R. 645) authorizing the establishment of “national emergency centers” on military installations throughout the nation. The facilities would be intended to “house individuals and families when the president declares it a matter of national security requiring it.” Hastings dismissed fears that these centers would be abused to stifle opposition to the government. “The decision on when or who will be housed in these facilities will not be made by a miscreant president like Bush or Nixon,” Hastings reassured his critics. “I have the utmost confidence in President Obama’s humanitarian instincts. If someone...
