United States News Title: MAIN CORE: GOVT. “THREAT LIST” NAMES AT LEAST 8 MILLION AMERICANS WHO WILL BE DETAINED WHEN MARTIAL LAW IS IMPOSED Edward Snowden has just made that abundantly clear to the entire world. Are you on the list?Are you one of the millions of Americans that have been designated a threat to national security by the U.S. government?Will you be subject to detention when martial law is imposed during a major national emergency?Main Core is the code name of an American governmental database that is believed to have been in existence since the 1980s. It is believed that Main Core is a federal database containing personal and financial data of millions of United States citizens[clarification needed] believed to be threats to national security.The data, which is believed to come from the NSA, FBI, CIA, and other sources,is collected and stored without warrants or court orders. The databases name derives from the fact that it contains copies of the main core or essence of each item of intelligence information on Americans produced by the FBI and the other agencies of the U.S. intelligence community.The Main Core database is alleged to have originated with theFederal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in 1982, following Ronald Reagans Continuity of Operations plan outlined in the National Security Directive (NSD) 69 / National Security Decision Directive (NSDD) 55, entitled Enduring National Leadership, implemented on September 14, 1982. As of 2008, there were allegedly eight million Americans listed in the database as possible threats, often for trivial reasons, whom the government may choose to track, question, or detain in a time of crisis.The existence of the database was first asserted in May 2008 by Christopher Ketcham and again in July 2008 by Tim Shorrock.As you will see below, there is actually a list that contains the names of at least 8 million Americans known as Main Core that the U.S. intelligence community has been compiling since the 1980s.A article on Washingtons Blog quoted a couple of old magazine articles that mentioned this program, and I was intrigued because I didnt know what it was. So I decided to look into Main Core, and what I found out was absolutely stunning especially in light of what Edward Snowden has just revealed to the world.It turns out that the U.S. government is not just gathering information on all of us.The truth is that the U.S. government has used this information to create a list of threats to national security that the government would potentially watch, question or even detain during a national crisis. If you have ever been publicly critical of the government, there is a very good chance that you are on that list.At the time, the shocking information that he revealed did not get that much attention.That is quite a shame, because it should have sent shockwaves across the nation
According to one news report, even national opposition to U.S. military invasion abroad could be a trigger.So if that list contained 8 million names all the way back in 2008, how big might it be today?That is a very frightening thing to think about.Later on in 2008, Tim Shorrock of Salon.com also reported on Main Core
Dating back to the 1980s and known to government insiders as Main Core, the database reportedly collects and stores without warrants or court orders the names and detailed data of Americans considered to be threats to national security.According to several former U.S. government officials with extensive knowledge of intelligence operations, Main Core in its current incarnation apparently contains a vast amount of personal data on Americans, including NSA intercepts of bank and credit card transactions and the results of surveillance efforts by the FBI, the CIA and other agencies. One former intelligence official described Main Core as an emergency internal security database system designed for use by the military in the event of a national catastrophe, a suspension of the Constitution or the imposition of martial law.So why didnt this information get more attention at the time?Well, if Obama had lost the 2008 election it might have. But Obama won in 2008 and the liberal media assumed that he would end many of the abuses that were happening under Bush. Of course that has not happened at all. In fact, Obama has steadily moved the police state agenda ahead aggressively.Edward Snowden has just made that abundantly clear to the entire world.After 2008, it is unclear exactly what happened to Main Core. Did it expand, change names, merge with other programs or get superseded by a new program? It appears extremely unlikely that it simply faded away. In light of what we have just learned about NSA snooping, someone should ask our politicians some very hard questions about Main Core.According to Christopher Ketchum, the exact kind of NSA snooping that Edward Snowden has just described was being used to feed data into the Main Core database
A host of publicly disclosed programs, sources say, now supply data to Main Core. Most notable are the NSA domestic surveillance programs, initiated in the wake of 9/11, typically referred to in press reports as warrantless wiretapping.A front-page article in the Wall Street Journal shed further light onto the extraordinarily invasive scope of the NSA effortsAccording to the Journal, the government can now electronically monitor, huge volumes of records of domestic e-mails and Internet searches, as well as bank transfers, credit card transactions, travel, and telephone records.Authorities employ sophisticated software programs to sift through the data, searching for suspicious patterns. In effect, the program is a mass catalog of the private lives of Americans. And its notable that the article hints at the possibility of programs like Main Core.The [NSA] effort also ties into data from an ad-hoc collection of so-called black programs whose existence is undisclosed, the Journal reported, quoting unnamed officials.Many of the programs in various agencies began years before the 9/11 attacks but have since been given greater reach.The following information seems to be fair game for collection without a warrant: Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top Page Up Full Thread Page Down Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 4.

I'm sure with your "qualifications" you can easily get a job rounding up those dissidents. Maybe even run one of the camps.
Run one? Did you find one? Post the location and proof. Only the stupid can be fear mongered, why do you prey upon the not so smart sheep?
