1. Very scary. They locked up a lot of poeple in NYC before the 2004
RNC Convention, a few of whom I knew, who were walking home from work. No habeas corpus trials or anything.
As far as this document says, these powers belong to the President, as currently interpreted. That gives them less than a year.

14. Thats Mayor Mike for you
The polite voice of fascism. He cared more about the grass in Central Park than about our soldiers killing and being killed in Iraq. He belongs in the Hague as an architect of aggressive war.

Cemetery at Manzanar







These photos I took at the Manzanar concentration camp on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada mountains about 100 miles from Death Valley in California.

11. Thank you for those photos! AWESOME!
People do not remember what happened back then. (I don't think they do anyway!)

4. S-1959 Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Act of 2007
will be coming up for a Senate vote soon.

In the House it was known as HR 1955-it passed October 23, 2007 with a vote of 404 ayes; 6 nays; and 22 not voting.

Here is a link to the full text of S-1959 from GovTrack-take a good look at SEC. 899C.
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=s110-1959

I wonder if the ambiguity of language in S-1959 could lead to roundups of citizens on lists (that has already been done) and that these concentration camps would be operationalized. I mean there could be duplicity in the wording of this.

Maybe Senator Harry Reid, Democratic Majority Leader could explain that to US.
Give him a call, maybe he'll tell US that it's nothing to worry about-just like those concentration camps.

Senator Reid can be reached at his direct DC office number (202) 224-3542.

Your Senators can be reached via the US Senate switchboard (202) 224-3121

or via this website
http://www.senate.com/

I know I've got some questions about these concentration camps, S-1959, and a few more items-questions that still haven't been answered.

9. Watch out Pink Ladies!
I didn't check but I assume Madame Speaker voted for it. She can take care of both the homeless in San Francisco and the Pink Ladies now.

Out of sight, out of mind. Welcome to the new America. Brought to you by Democrats.

7. This is exactly what I would want the two main democratic candidates to address
what are they going to do about the laws turning us into tyranny that have been passed. many of which were passed with the collusion of fellow democrats and the candidates themselves.

10. All it will take is one major terrorist attack
That is what is so frightening. It might be an attack by our own government. Just to allow what everyone says cannot happen in this country. But it can. And Congress has wittingly laid the foundation for it. Most of all the Empress has laid the foundation for it. By keeping impeachment off the table. If it happens, she will no doubt merely wave her hand at those who call her on it and have them shipped off to a camp. Along with all the "undesireables" she finds so disconcerting.

Most of us try not to think about it. Try to convince ourselves it cannot happen here. But that is what happened to the German people.

19. Of course
Bush/Cheney bear no responsibility at all for their actions. Pelosi has always been the driving force behind destroying the United States.

13. People WON'T believe it
They absolutely refuse to even entertain the idea that these things even exist.

Whenever I have asked anyone if they have heard about this, they look at me like they are thinking they need to call the men in the white coats with the butterfly nets.

Honestly, the campaign to marginalize people who ask questions as crazy, tin-foil hat wearing, idiot, to be humored, but not taken seriously.

*They* have really done a number with their *framing* of everything.

15. Uh, where are these camps?
I no longer believe in them. Where are the Google earth pictures, if nothing else -- the ones Ive heard of were false. The PTB want us to rope and corral ourselves. With fear, of course, thus the 911 treason and rumours of concentration camps. Why didnt they steal the 2006 election -- they lack that kind of control.

21. Well, there were camps for Japanese-Americans before "the conspiracy crowd"
before that there were "reservations" for indigenous people, then there were 38 POW camps in my State of WI alone during WWII-all historical facts written and discussed well before the "conspiracy crowd" of the MSM propaganda delivery system that used to be known as The Fourth Estate.

That's just my take on that-plus--this criminal administration is capable of anything, make no mistake about that, katty.

This is reality we're discussing here. Another reality is the BFEE, or whatever term one choses to call this criminal administration and its assets.
