....The US government is preparing for real unrest as incomes and homes disappear. New laws have been passed to curb civil unrest. Michel Chossudovsky writes on Global Reseach on plans to set up Guantanamo-like detention centers on military bases:



"The outgoing administration has laid the groundwork. Various pieces of ‘anti-terrorist' legislation (including the Patriot Acts) and presidential directives have been put in place since 2001, largely using the pretext of the ‘Global War on Terrorism.;


A bill entitled the National Emergency Centers Establishment Act (HR 645) was introduced in the US Congress in January. It calls for the establishment of six national emergency centers in major regions in the US to be located on existing military installations.

The stated purpose of the ‘national emergency centers' is to provide ‘temporary housing, medical, and humanitarian assistance to individuals and families dislocated due to an emergency or major disaster.' In actuality, what we are dealing with are FEMA internment camps. HR 645 states that the camps can be used to ‘meet other appropriate needs, as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security.'

There has been virtually no press coverage of HR 645."
