Martial law? Really?
Why bother when you're living under a state of national emergency and can (legally) do whatever you want ?
It's been that way since (wanna guess?) ...drum roll please.....9/11/2001 and quietly renewed every 2 years since.
Why declare martial law and tip everyone off?
War is the art of deception.
Question is who has been more deceitful - Alex Jones or the Government and the MSM?
Trust who you will, it's only your lives and freedom at stake.
I suggest you choose carefully.
Those of you too young to remember what America was like before 9/11 I can assure you we were a different Nation. So many freedoms lost in 11 years is not an accident and is certainly not how to defend "freedom" from any kind of terrorist threat.
They didn't pass the NDAA to help the average American, rest assured of that.
Seriously, research before believing what Alex jones tells you to belive.
If you are this familiar with LAX then why did the expansion and ongoing construction, as well as the purchasing of property to the North and west of LAX, slip your mind?
So I could see how fences placed in the construction area to keep people out, large buildings for storage, heavy machinery and odd work hours could get some to think they are building a concentration camp.

They are not being used as prisons. In Florida they are used as homeless shelters.
But by all means prove me wrong and post your pictures and source showing the stadiums in the US being used as prisons.

The ones that I know of being used right now are in syria and libya. (kind of like when the largest stadium in chile[among a bunch of others] was turned into a prison when the US installed a dictator in 1973. It processed something like 80,000 people in around a month)

In that thread I link to video where you can watch an old japanese man who was in one of our japanese camps during WW2. He talks about how they were rounded up and says;
"They didn't have the facilities to house 120,000 persons, so they took over racetracks, fairgrounds, places like that..."
partial list of japanese internment camps in america, just from wikipedia...

Why do you think we used racetracks, fairgrounds, and parks, and what are their equivalent today? Why do you think peoplel are using them right now? How do our requirements for them back then compare to modern BS security/logistics requests and creepy laws?edit on 28-1-2012 by 1825114 because: (no reason given)

As far as the west expansion im referring to the old roads that used to have houses on the West side that are no longer there.

Guaranteed the majority of the responses this will get will be about how people don't like alex jones.
NOBODY cares what you think of him or his websites, look at what he's covering.
The videos include clips showing mainstream news sources covering similar facilities and admitting that they're to hold prisoners, so if you deny that they exist, YOU'RE the crazy person.
The pictures of the one at LAX are towards the middle/end of the first video.

.....who says alex jones is misrepresenting the dates of a facility in the video when the second sentence of his report/this thread mentions the date...

The "Pier 57" incident occurred in....>drum roll please
Future - Since 2004, the pier has been completely disused. Proposals for future usage have included an extension of the Chelsea Piers sports complex or Leonardo at Pier 57, an Italian cultural center operated by Cipriani S.A.. [5]
Since 1999 - The 711-acre (288 ha) area that once housed the airport sat dormant for more than half a decade until the city finally approved a planned urban development. The new Mueller Community broke ground in 2007, and is expected to take at least ten years to be fully developed.

Jones never said the LA exercises were the proof of the rendition hub, and he definitely acknowledges that the exercise have been going on for a long time, he said the previous media coverage of extremely similar facilities [which were also called "conspiracy fodder"] were the proof.

Future - Since 2004, the pier has been completely disused. Proposals for future usage have included an extension of the Chelsea Piers sports complex or Leonardo at Pier 57, an Italian cultural center operated by Cipriani S.A.. [5]
So lets see - Pier 57 used appropriately to hold and treat people during the RNC convention. No one had hoods placed over their heads and no one was kidnapped.
The only military activity present - For a number of years, the Texas Army National Guard had facilities there.
Again portrayed as a mass detention facility when all the evidence and information available says otherwise.

You're misrepresenting the facts by saying that all the people who got co2 poisoning and other chemical illnesses were treated properly, and by acting like the violent arrest of peaceful protestor (old people, young girls included) "isn't kidnapping."
Originally posted by 1825114
Which is exactly what I've been saying. What military activity has occurred at all of the sports facilities I link in that thread aside from that of the national guards connected to them? That's almost the whole point of my thread, that there's military activity at a places that have been historically used by the military to hold people.
Originally posted by 1825114
Pier 57 is portrayed as a prison facility because that's exactly what it was used for. It doesn't matter if it's only happened once, it still happened... and you're acting like that proves that it can't happen?
Seriously people...
