Now tell me that the Bush Administration doesn't have something nasty in store for Americans., This is something right out of Nazi Germany!!



Editor’s Note: A little-known $385 million contract for Halliburton subsidiary KBR to build detention facilities for “an emergency influx of immigrants” is another step down the Bush administration’s road toward martial law, the writer says.

The contract—announced Jan. 24 by the engineering and construction firm KBR—calls for preparing for “an emergency influx of immigrants, or to support the rapid development of new programs” in the event of other emergencies, such as “a natural disaster.” The release offered no details about where Halliburton was to build these facilities, or when.

To date, some newspapers have worried that open-ended provisions in the contract could lead to cost overruns, such as have occurred with KBR in Iraq. A Homeland Security spokesperson has responded that this is a “contingency contract” and that conceivably no centers might be built. But almost no paper so far has discussed the possibility that detention centers could be used to detain American citizens if the Bush administration were to declare martial law.

America loves a winner!


Yeah, had to figure who'd post this crackpot tabloid piece of go se.

Reminds me of the similiar type of crap we heard about Clinton, right before Y2K. Everything was suppose to go offline, society was to break down, martial law was going to be declared and Clinton was going to suspend the U.S. Constitution. Same nutcase stories, different President.

Would be nice if folk used their spare time and imagination for good,instead of pointless waste of time evil.

For the last time, detention camps for ordinary civilians who have been abducted by governmental forces, tortured and denied all access to basic human rights will not be built by the Bush Administration in America.

Hey now, they also detained a lot of Italians and Germans during WW2 as well. Why is it we only ever recall the Japanese? When the United States Government goes into a quasi-political, economically motivated, knee-jerk reaction they go whole-hog, gorramit!

I'm with SIMONWHO: I don't see the US Government bringing political detainees into huge internment camps on American soil - very bad press. Just keep 'em overseas somewhere, and why would we be taking tens of thousands of them anyway? The Admin will just do what they do so they can keep claiming we don't tortute suspects - send them to some country and let those guys (or spooks) do it.

Now, I don't know if Haliburton really has a contract to build 'detention centers' in the event that they're needed (and I'd like to see some numbers on other 'contingency contracts'), but what I think it sounds like is that they're thinking more along the lines of another Katrina situation where there are tens of thousands of evacuees and no place to put them. It would be easier to have people in a holding area while they get on their feet than to be dealing with credit and hotel vouchers.

... and it was true about Clinton too. But then you know that. And Clinton is also really Bush, and Bush is really Clinton, because both were really Cheney, so "Same true story, same president" Not much conspiracy theory there.

I'm sure this is an exaggeration, but I wouldn't put it past Bush. I think the purpose of such a thing would be to re-institute slavery in the form of migrant labor camps for Mexicans.

As for the Bush apologisms, Bush is a sorry president to start with, so what else do you need to say. I'm not sure I'm to the point that Cheney who is called Bush is worse than Cheney who was called Clinton, except fiscally speaking of course, but I'm getting to the point of "As bad as."

All presidents IMHO get a score, 1-100%. The Bush crowd probably thinks I have this big yen to hate Bush because I would have really prefered McCain. But I gave Bush a chance, several of them, I liked his dad, and honestly, I thought he'd be okay. At the end of year one, Bush was down to 80% or so for me, some good, some bad, and what he needed to do was to can a couple of the bad guys and replace them with some better ones, Ashcroft could go and be replaced with someone more Spector-like, Rove could go and do what campaign strategists do and not participate in the actual running of the country. Then he could kick up from a B- back into A land.

But instead he got worse. By '04 for me, Bush was seriously into failing territor, probably headed from 60 towards 50ish. A second term shakeup was going to have to seriously turn this boat around. But it didn't. Now Bush is probably headed under 50 and falling fast. What the Bush lovers don't realize is that us on the not-so-pro side aren't all rating him at zero already, and we can always drastically revise down our opinion. On the forest measure for me Bush lost a solid 10 points. He's losing a couple on this UAE deal. He actually gained a couple on the state of the union address, but it's going to take a little more than hopeful words, like some actual action.

Finn said I don't give Bush credit for anything, that's not true. I thought Roberts was a good nominee. I actually think Alito will work out as well. He could have done a lot worse, so kudos Bush.

But overall, this is an appallingly low score. Bush isn't yet the worst president ever. I don't know who should hold the title. I'll throw some people in here, sorry if they're all democrats, feel free to fire back: Lyndon Johnson, Harry Truman, Woodrow Wilson, and Andrew Jackson. They're all still worse than Bush. So, on the American president's report card scale, Bush still has 30 points he can solidly lose. And, just so you know, I'm not knocking him points for continuing bad policy, but if he continues, I'm sure Bush will think of something that will make him worse than he is right now.

I think maybe for no good reason I'll throw a couple out here:

1. He can invade Iran. This might help him clinche the covetted title of "worst president ever" but only if the war claims at least a million lives, which it probably would.

2. He can introduce supplementals to spend for more large contracts that no one needs. This will only cost him a few points, but it takes every little bit to become WPE.

3. He can introduce a budget for '08 that includes blank check entitlement programs which have pork rolled corporate welfare for the special interests. I'm of course talking about healthcare which pays the providers what they ask for and in no way introduces open unregulated competition into the market.

4. He can introduce a national sales tax. This is sure to slow down the progress of the economy by reducing the number of actual transactions that take place. It's long been noted that taxing a behavior discourages it, so why not tax consumer spending? You're sure to reduce free market commerce in no time!

5. He can invade Syria in cooperation with Israel. While this will be nowhere near as bloody a war as the one with Iran, it will help secure in the minds of the world the image of the US as an agent of the Zionist agenda.

6. Actually re-institute slavery, even de-facto.

7. Use a nuclear bomb against anyone, anywhere for any reason. Just once will do.

8. Organize a replacement for Thabo Mbeki of South Africa who is actually worse than Mbeki. While I don't think this is technically possible, I heard a rumor that Bush and Co were interested in supporting someone with stronger African Union ambitions, and a stronger African Union is something that Bush has actually mentioned several times as a goal in speeches, so it is possible. And if it is conceivably possible to have a worse leader than Mbeki, I'm sure Bush can think of someone.

9. Start an actual military conflict somewhere on US soil. This will be a tricky one for Bush to take on, and I don't see how it will manifest, but a truly awful president can manage. Even Clinton gave it a go. Maybe if security is lax enough Al Qaeda will actually invade with an army. Maybe that's his plan.

10. Leave Iraq as a nation state under Al Qaeda control, just pack up, go home, and have the terrorists take over, drill oil, and sell it for weapons. A few nukes and some bioweapons. If Bush can pull this off than he definitely clinches the nomination for Worst President Ever.

But, you see, he still has a long way to go before he actually earns the title.

Before everyone gets too carried away in one direction or another, this story IS true.

"The contract may also provide migrant detention support to other U.S. Government organizations in the event of an immigration emergency, as well as the development of a plan to react to a national emergency, such as a natural disaster. In the event of a natural disaster, the contractor could be tasked with providing housing for ICE personnel performing law enforcement functions in support of relief efforts. "

les/news.jsp?newsurl=/default/main/halliburton/eng/news/source_files/press_release/2006/kbrnws_012406.html


The camps can serve either as mass immigrant detention facilities or relief housing in case of national emergency. I haven't heard anywhere else in the news about fears of a "mass" influx of immigrants that would require these camps.

In light of the administrations dislike of dissenters ("free speech" zones, mass arrests of protestors), this makes me nervous. Especially considering the harsh and sometimes horribly unfair treatment of New Orleanians in the days following Katrina. Seeing my home turn into a prison affected my view of the administration, considering how much fun they were having instead of worrying about the hugest disaster in American history.

But I don't have the facts in front of me to make a statement that won't warrant a "tinfoil hat" label, so I'll keep my mouth shut. Suffice it to say that gnostic archons, black helicopters, and satanic sorcerors are involved. Oh yes. With bad weather guns.

No offense, but the story lacks a credible source. I'm backing off my original alarmist concern that this was part of Bush's 'guest worker program.'

So, the challenge I throw out to the radical left, who fed us this story, is:

1. Locate at least one credible source, and by credible, I mean:

Fox News
MSNBC
Guardian.co.uk
New York Times
Or something that is on the level of one of the above. It can be AlJazeera, I consider Aljazeera a more or less credible source.

2. Once we have a credible source, in a way which is in no way conspiracy theory linked (ie. jack went to school with sam who once ate pizza at joes, ergo there is a jack joe conspiracy) establish how and why Bush is setting up camps on US soil.



On an aside, I make "Bush is evil" arguments all the time, but mine come from solidly republican sources, like the fox news story I just posted that no one responded to. And I don't learn this in looney news and then go find them on fox, I tend to find out about them on the Fox News homepage. Given this, and here's where I am, I am always stunned and amazed at people who deny any of this. What have you guys been reading? I mean my fellow republicans who have not yet given up on Bush.

Horses for course really DT, I don't consider Fox news a credible resource. MSNBC I can't really judge, since I don't really watch it, I tend to steer clear of mainstream American media because I find it just a little too sensationalist and too willing to tell me what to think rather than simply presenting the facts. In that way I find it a lot like British tabloid news (which, judging by the fact most people read papers like the Sun, I shudder to add is probably our mainstream too ).

The guardian news paper's okay, can't really speak for the New York Times, I've never read it, though I know enough to know it's a quite respected paper, so I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt given no other evidence.

I don't really have anything to say to this. I don't mean commentators on foxnews, maybe that's what you're thinking of, they tend to spout what they believe, which is not news. But the news is news. I think objectively, something on Fox is more likely to be true than something on CNN, but CNN would still be considered a credible source, just one with a political slant I disagree with. Hell, the Nation is more or less a credible source. It's not about political slant. A conspiracy website is not a credible source. That's the equivalent of someone on the right posting a 'news story' with three links to christian websites, and I don't mean the christian science monitor.

The Washington Post is a credible source, not because I agree with everything they say, but because they don't intentionally print stuff which isn't true. Te Washington Times on the other hand is run by a group of religious extremists (the Moonies) who would gladly print something that wasn't true to forward their own political agenda.

As far as the UK goes, I'm sure The London Times and BBC are credible sources. Probably for that matter is Thames ITV, but what Jenny has given us is conspiracy websites as sources. Which is okay, if it's presented as "This is what this guy thinks, does anyone have any thoughts?"

I did that once with a story on the possiblity that WTC was actually leveled from the inside, which doesn"t mean it still wasn't done by Al Qaeda agents, but it's an idea I run into a lot here. Actually, it's pretty widely believed, even among many of my local republicans, that Bush knocked down the towers. I am beginning to truly deteste Bush, but I'm not ready to go that far.

But my point is, I could go some conspiracy site, I'm sure, and find the information "Bush knocked down the towers" and then post it as a news item. If we just started doing this, the objective understanding of the truth would become a distant memory.

Is this completely coincidental or proof of an all encomposing global conspiracy to subvert our very way of life?

What if I tell you that the stop occurred a mere 8 miles from a state mental health facility and that there are plans to dismantle two aging local hydroelectric dams on the Cuyahoga River less then one year before they start producing a new hybrid car in a Toledo auto plant?

From the ICE website's 2004 activities report:

• DHS apprehended an estimated 1,241,089 foreign nationals. Ninety-two percent were natives of Mexico.
• There were 58,727 investigations initiated and 46,656 closed for immigration related activities including crime, compliance enforcement, work site enforcement, identity and benefit fraud, alien smuggling, and counter terrorism.
• ICE detained approximately 235,247 foreign nationals for a minimum of 24 hours.
• There were 202,842 foreign nationals formally removed from the United States. The leading countries of origin of formal removals were Mexico (73 percent), Guatemala (4.1 percent) and Honduras (4.0 percent). More than 1,035,000 other foreign nationals accepted an offer of voluntary departure.


1.25 million seems like a bunch to me.

"This story lacks a credible source."
You can't get much more credible in a story about Halliburton than Halliburton's own press release on their website.

I agree that the stories of American dissident camps and such might lack a credible source. That doesn't mean it's true or not true. I've found that many important stories lacked a credible source until it was too late to make a difference. Let's hope it's false. Whether you believe it or not, don't turn a prejudice blind eye to it just yet.

Geezer, you're absolutely correct. Large quantities of illegal immigrants have been entering the country for years. I suppose I was thinking of the influx if immigrants in relative terms. After all these years of people crossing the border without the administration even batting an eyelash, I was trying to think of how large a number it would take at once to get a response.

Why does this strike me as trekkie?

Quote:

With a maximum total value of $385 million over a five-year term, consisting of a one-year based period and four one-year options, the competitively awarded contract will be executed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District. KBR held the previous ICE contract from 2000 through 2005.


Million Million Million.

Not

Billion Billion Billion.

Quote:

The contract, which is effective immediately, provides for establishing temporary detention and processing capabilities to augment existing ICE Detention and Removal Operations (DRO) Program facilities in the event of an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S., or to support the rapid development of new programs.


U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Detention and Removal Operations (DRO) Program

Immigration Customs Enforcement
Detention Removal Operations Program

ICE
DROP

No one codenames their program "Ice Drop" for no reason. Anyway, sounds a little scary. Emergency detention and "rapid development of new programs" is particularly holocausty. If you were of the Pirate persuasion.

Which is not to say that I am.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Thats what they are saying, but I doubt seriously if we are ever going to have the need to detain immigrants on such a massive level, and would you stay in a detention cramp if you were a victim of a disaster,( as if you had committed some crime) This just smacks to much of concentration camps.
and what if you were in an area that had a diseaster and they didn't give you a choice what if you had to stay in one of these camps, do you see where I'm going with this. where does the buck stop.

see thats the problem where does it stop, I remember after 9/11 I was talking with a few people and I told them, the so called homeland security was a bad idea that the only people who were going to loose their freedoms was us, which they replied that they didn't believe that and they were just so sure that after everything calmed down that the government would restore our rights..now years later, the government has infringed on even more of our civil liberities, the more power these crimnals get the more they will take , they will take a little here and a little there ,and it starts to add up, one day Americans are going to wake up and wonder what in the hell happened!!

Yes, PirateJenny we'll all keep telling ourselves that. Since you are so far out in left field, what difference will it make anyways?


Sometimes you have to get up off your arse and run the length of the field or even jump the fence if you want to catch the ball, as long as I catch the ball, thats all that matters.

So, the challenge I throw out to the radical left, who fed us this story, is:

1. Locate at least one credible source, and by credible, I mean:

Fox News
MSNBC
Guardian.co.uk
New York Times
Or something that is on the level of one of the above. It can be AlJazeera, I consider Aljazeera a more or less credible source.



I agree. Dick Cheney's Haliburton is NOT a credible source:

Quote:

Halliburton
For Immediate Release

With a maximum total value of $385 million over a five-year term, consisting of a one-year based period and four one-year options, the competitively awarded contract will be executed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District. KBR held the previous ICE contract from 2000 through 2005.

Kellogg Brown & Root also built military bases for the NORTH Vietnamese DURING the Vietnam War, just like Heinz Kissinger Sir Knight of the British Empire and George Bush Sr Sir Knight of the British Empire armed Saddam DURING the Gulf Wars, just like Prescott Bush and Rockefellers (Bill Clinton-Blyth's family) armed Hitler DURING WW2.

Haliburton already scammed billions of dollars from Iraq War #2 Continued. Judging by Haliburton's history, this $385-million contract will magically morph into a $385-billion paycheck, thanks to cost-plus no-bid contract fraud.
