(Discuss) Source: me URL Source: http://me.com Published: Feb 14, 2007 Author: me Post Date: 2007-02-14 19:53:11 by continental op Keywords: None Views: 11629 Comments: 28 Explanation #1. Halliburton is building detention camps to hold all us anti-government crazies, one day. Explanation #2. Halliburton is building detention camps to house illegal aliens who are rounded up to be deported. Well, re-education camps are a thing of the past, imo. And no illegal aliens are going to get deported, obviously. So, what is the purpose of these camps?

Halliburton is building detention camps I have read this several times on other forums but where is the documentation? Where are the witnesses? Or Where are the camps being built. I will say this, the county I live in recently finished a huge new detention compound that is flat scary to look at just driving by. The old detention center was a country club compared with this new beast. cwrwinger  posted on  2007-02-14   21:29:33 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #3.

To: All (#8) Feds Schedule $385 Million Concentration Camp To Be Built By Halliburton Subsidiary By CLANCY SIGAL I am not one of the "Hitler is here!" crowd. From personal experience of federal-and-local harassment, threats of jail, being run off the road by J. Edgar's hotrodders, blacklisting from jobs and a long look at my FBI file, where I'm listed as a lefthanded, lisping incendiary leader of a mysterious Red 'Cell With No Name' alias the 'Omega cell' (I'm not kidding), I have felt the heavy hand of the ignoramus on my shoulder. Even unto emigration to Britain where, at one time, I enjoyed the attention of Scotland Yard, Special Branch, MI5, U.S. army counter-intelligence, CIA, and U.S. naval intelligence--all at the same time, stumbling over each other as in an Inspector Clouseau movie. So you get hardened. Shrug it off. Resist paranoia. Fill your wallet with the telephone numbers of lawyers. And wait for something to happen when nothing actually does, at least to you. Then your eye falls on a barely-noticed article in a local Southern California newspaper. You call the reporter, and he guides you to his reputable source. And the stomach-tickling fears start all over again, especially when--coincidentally--a Germanophile friend researching in the archives digs up the following from a Munich newspaper dated 1933. First, the American news item: The federal government has awarded a $385 million contract for the construction of 'temporary detention facilities' inside the United States as part of the Immigration Service's Detention and Removal Program. The contract was given to Kellogg, Root & Brown, a subsidiary of Halliburton. The camps would be used in the event of an "emergency", said Jamie Zuieback, an Immigration service official. The following article appeared in a Munich newspaper in 1933 to mark the "grand opening" of Dachau, Germany's first concentration camp. This month marks the 73d anniversary: Münchner Neueste Nachrichten, Tuesday, March 21, 1933 A Concentration Camp for Political Prisoners in the Dachau Area In a statement to the press, Himmler, Munich's Chief of Police announced: On Wednesday the first concentration camp will be opened near Dachau.

The incorrectness of rumors frequently spread regarding the treatment of prisoners is shown by the fact that for those prisoners who requested it, for example, Dr. Gerlich and Frhr. v. Aretin, counseling by priests is supported and approved without hesitation. Note: Himmler's reference to the 'Reichsbanner' is to a Social Democratic group, formed to oppose Hitler's 1923 attempted putsch, that evolved into a fairly ordinary get-together society. The 'Dr Gerlich' mentioned at the end (who was permitted to see a priest) was a devout Christian anti-Nazi shot by the Gestapo at Dachau in 1934, his body burned. His widow refused his ashes.

SWARNS Published: February 4, 2006 WASHINGTON, Feb. 3 52; The Army Corps of Engineers has awarded a contract worth up to $385 million for building temporary immigration detention centers to Kellogg Brown & Root, the Halliburton subsidiary that has been criticized for overcharging the Pentagon for its work in Iraq. KBR would build the centers for the Homeland Security Department for an unexpected influx of immigrants, to house people in the event of a natural disaster or for new programs that require additional detention space, company executives said. KBR, which announced the contract last month, had a similar contract with immigration agencies from 2000 to last year. The contract with the Corps of Engineers runs one year, with four optional one- year extensions. Officials of the corps said that they had solicited bids and that KBR was the lone responder. A spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Jamie Zuieback, said KBR would build the centers only in an emergency like the one when thousands of Cubans floated on rafts to the United States. She emphasized that the centers might never be built if such an emergency did not arise. "It's the type of contract that could be used in some kind of mass migration," Ms. Zuieback said. A spokesman for the corps, Clayton Church, said that the centers could be at unused military sites or temporary structures and that each one would hold up to 5,000 people. "When there's a large influx of people into the United States, how are we going to feed, house and protect them?" Mr. Church asked. "That's why these kinds of contracts are there." Mr. Church said that KBR did not end up creating immigration centers under its previous contract, but that it did build temporary shelters for Hurricane Katrina evacuees. Federal auditors rebuked the company for unsubstantiated billing in its Iraq reconstruction contracts, and it has been criticized because of accusations that Halliburton, led by Dick Cheney before he became vice president, was aided by connections in obtaining contracts. Halliburton executives denied that they charged excessively for the work in Iraq. Mr. Church said concerns about the Iraq contracts did not affect the awarding of the new contract. Representative Henry A. Waxman, Democrat of California, who has monitored the company, called the contract worrisome. "With Halliburton's ever expanding track record of overcharging, it's hard to believe that the administration has decided to entrust Halliburton with even more taxpayer dollars," Mr. Waxman said. "With each new contract, the need for real oversight grows." In recent months, the Homeland Security Department has promised to increase bed space in its detention centers to hold thousands of illegal immigrants awaiting deportation. In the first quarter of the 2006 fiscal year, nearly 60 percent of the illegal immigrants apprehended from countries other than Mexico were released on their own recognizance. Domestic security officials have promised to end the releases by increasing the number of detention beds. Last week, domestic security officials announced that they would expand detaining and swiftly deporting illegal immigrants to include those seized near the Canadian border. Advocates for immigrants said they feared that the new contract was another indication that the government planned to expand the detention of illegal immigrants, including those seeking asylum. "It's pretty obvious that the intent of the government is to detain more and more people and to expedite their removal," said Cheryl Little, executive director of the Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center in Miami. Ms. Zuieback said the KBR contract was not intended for that. "It's not part of any day-to-day enforcement," she said. She added that she could not provide additional information about the company's statement that the contract was also meant to support the rapid development of new programs. Halliburton executives, who announced the contract last week, said they were pleased. "We are especially gratified to be awarded this contract," an executive vice president, Bruce Stanski, said in a statement, "because it builds on our extremely strong track record in the arena of emergency management support continental op  posted on  2007-02-14   22:10:13 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #13. To: continental op (#9) Here's another USA gov't "detention center" for Americans: Elmira P.O.W. Camp Revisited Last Update: 4/15/2005 10:52:30 AM Posted By: Lauren Sivan The photos of abuse at Abu Ghraib shocked America. Prison torture was out of the closet. But as long as there has been war, there have been prisoners of war and crimes committed against them. One of the deadliest places was the Elmira Prison camp during the Civil War. (actually, The War of Northern (yankee) Aggression) Michael Horigan is a former history teacher at Horseheads High School. He wrote a book, "Elmira, Death Camp of the North." "The idea that Americans don't do these kinds of things like the Abu Ghraib [torture]is an aberration," says Horigan. He says during the civil war, more prisoners died in Elmira's POW camp than anywhere else in the north. "Although there was no torture, there were decisions made that resulted in the deaths of 2,950 prisoners," says Horigan. He says prison officials *intentionally* cut food rations to match those of Confederate camps, with less resources. Men slept in tents because barracks weren't built in time for the winter months. He says these deliberate decisions killed men and earned the camp the name: "Helmira" "It was an unfortunate part of history in Chemung County. Very unfortunate, says Chemung County Historian Archie Kieffer. Kiefer's great grandfather was a guard at the camp. He says the death rate at Elmira wasn't a result of deliberate action, but a consequence of war. "The civil war was a brutal brutal war. Of all the wars we fought, the civil war was the worst," says Kieffer. Initially the camp was an army training center. In 1864, the army got orders to turn it into a prison camp. "They said they could handle 12-14 hundred prisoners and the unfortunate thing was, they sent them 12,000," says Kieffer. Today, Fosters pond is still where it was when the camp was in operation. It was the main source of water for prisoners. But with so many prisoners, it quickly became contaminated with garbage and waste and despite the lack of food and shelter, historians say it's that filthy water supply that killed so many prisoners. "Many of them died a horrible death, they died of pneumonia, dysentery," says Horigan.> But do poor conditions add up to torture? "Well it certainly resulted in death," says Horigan. I suppose you could say that this was their way of torturing prisoners." Archie Kieffer disagrees. He says they did what they had to do at the time. "They had to take care of them, and they did the best they could. War isn't a pretty time." The prison camp is not the most prideful piece of Elmira history, but it's contribution to American History helped put the city on the map. cwrwinger  posted on  2007-02-14   22:30:01 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   Replies to Comment # 13.         There are no replies to Comment # 13.
