People are angry with the notion that the government is building and maintaining these military camps. Why?
Are you people ignorant to the fact that a great part of the population especially in bigger cities are out of control, violent, on the starting line to create chaos. Too many guns, too much alcohol and lack of intelligence.
Where do you think they should put all those criminals in waiting who will unleash chaos the moment the opportunity presents itself. Ever see a bar fight or Rodney king Riot? The group mentality will warrant a shoot on site order.
Wake up people, we need more than prisons for a large amount of 'Americans'.
This gem of a post coming from somebody who is obviously too foolish to realize those camps are for him too, regardless of his perception that he's on "Their" side.

What makes you think that this economic crisis just will go away? This could be a crisis that can't go away, simply because we are to many ! The capitalistic ideology cant continue like it have done, because we lack the resources and the debts are getting to high for most people.
And do you think that the elites just want to give up all their wealth and control for the betterment of you and me? Think again.

I'd be interested to know in what conditions you think the government is going to round up families and put them into holding sites.
I'm not saying it isn't possible but I don't see how that would ever work. Politicians still have to answer to the voters who are probably not going to like this.
Are you suggesting that our voting rights will be taken away?

Now its possible that a few of these could be constructed and use as a type of Gulag but My God, can you imagine the outcry from the public once they knew what was going on?
Look at the controversy surrounding Gitmo, which Obama tried to close, and I don't see how resettlement facilities could possibly work.

I dont know, and i think the vague and seemingly overreaching implication of leaked documents like this scares alot of people, including me.

Its not just our voting rights, and its not me suggesting it.
I will momentarily lend credibility to the notion that this could be used in situations like massive earthquakes or other natural disasters but when you plan in advance to force people into internment in barbed wire camps surrounded by armed guards...credibility disappears...

I wish I could be this trustful again
Yes I remember the public outcry on Gitmo.
And? It's still running...and people are still imprisoned without any trial.
But the outcry is gone...because obama tried to close it
Maybe Obama try to close these camps too...(after he opened them)
We can be hopeful
And:
You never imprison the whole population. Only the leaders and speakers of the insurgents. The rest will remain silent in fear of imprisonment/torture.
Works fine for many countries in past and present, so why not for the US?

Ahh thank you, just saw it now. Maybe I oversaw something, but it would be good with a link to a government site that states it is a confirmed letter

yes it is absolutely wrong. The NDAA and CISPA agreement are not helping for the better, they only provide fuel for better controls for the elite groups.

For crying out loud man ! The reason the prison rates have sky-rocketed is because of when Nixon created the drug law, or marijuana law. Most of the people in prisons are people taken for smoking weed, or trying to survive in a harsh world, by some petty theft or simply just because they where at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Wake up man, the prison systems is not helping, they are making it worse !edit on 5-3-2013 by mc4denmark because: (no reason given)

Hey I agree with you. Its not about the legal system or prison system its about the internment camps to contain many many people in case of emergency or social upheaval, which is an intelligent solution to the growing chaotic mentality of society at large when faced with mass violence and lawlessness.
