They arrest anyone who questions their authority. They admit they are making it up as they go along. This shows you that you have no freedom and no rights. Anyone who thinks this is ok is sheep and needs to wake up. There needs to be a process. Our rights are being trampled on and soon Martial Law will go into order and there is nothing you will be able to do about it! Watch, Learn and remember for this time will soon fall upon all of us!!! <br />the real purpose of FEMA is to not only protect the government but to be its principal vehicle for martial law" and this is why "FEMA could not respond immediately to the Hurricane Katrina disaster — humanitarian efforts were no longer part of its job description under the Department of Homeland Security." <br />It appears Hurricane Katrina also provided FEMA with an excuse to "dry run" its unconstitutional powers in New Orleans, rounding up "refugees" (now called "evacuees") and "relocating" them in various camps. "Some evacuees are being treated as 'internees' by FEMA," writes former NSA employee Wayne Madsen. <br />Homeland Security spokesman John Erickson told the Indy Star residents are basically on their own. Erickson said Hoosiers should "start the cleanup process and don't wait for federal assistance at this point." <br />Hampton adds: "You heard it straight from the FEMA spokesman's mouth. Don't wait for them. They might not even show up at all. Pray they don't, or southern Indiana could wind up like New Orleans. Travel trailers, anyone?" <br />"In the current series of disasters," writes Jim Kirwan, "there are no [National Guard] troops here to help with evacuations, and the only help that FEMA is currently offering to victims of the Iowa flooding is: 'save all your receipts, because you'll need to prove what it cost you if you want any help after this is over.'"</p> </div> <a href="/blog/42226-undeclared-martial-law-continues-for-iowa-flood-residents">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/42225-martial-law-the-true-role-of-fema 2008-07-29T11:20:05Z americansunite <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MZKS531kfhA&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MZKS531kfhA&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/42225-martial-law-the-true-role-of-fema"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/47651" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>It spent $1.3 billion building secret bunkers throughout the United States in anticipation of government disruption by foreign or domestic upheaval. Yet fewer than 20 members of Congress , only members with top security clearance, know of the $1.3 billion expenditure by FEMA for non-natural disaster situations. These few Congressional leaders state that FEMA has a "black curtain" around its operations. FEMA has worked on National Security programs since 1979, and its predecessor, the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency, has secretly spent millions of dollars before being merged into FEMA by President Carter in 1979. <br />Operation Cable Splicer, Garden Plot, and REX 84 (short for Readiness Exercise 1984) are programs long on the shelf, awaiting the appropriate "disaster" to be taken down and implemented. Garden Plot is a program designed to control the population, while Cable Splicer is a program engineered for an orderly takeover of state and local governments by the federal government. FEMA is the executive arm of the coming police state and will head up operations. The Presidential Executive Orders already listed on the Federal Register also are part of the legal framework for this operation, and include the following: <br />10990 (allows the government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports), 10995 (allows the government to seize and control the communication media), 10997 (allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels and minerals), 10998 (allows the government to take over all food resources and farms), 11000 (allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision), 11001 (allows the government to take over all health, education and welfare functions), 11002 (designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons), 11003 (allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft), 11004 (allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate communities, build new housing with public funds, designate areas to be abandoned, and establish new locations for populations) and 11005 (allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways and public storage facilities). <br />More recently, the National Defense Authorization Act, under Sect. 1042, allows the use of "the Armed Forces in Major Public Emergencies" and explicitly gives the executive the power to invoke martial law -- in other words, kiss Posse Comitatus good-bye. For the first time in more than a century, the president is now authorized to use the military in response to "a natural disaster, a disease outbreak, a terrorist attack or any other condition in which the President determines that domestic violence has occurred to the extent that state officials cannot maintain public order," Lewis Seiler and Dan Hamburg wrote for the San Francisco Chronicle in February. Add to this the Military Commissions Act of 2006 and National Security Presidential Directive 51, allowing for "continuity of government" in the event of what NSPD-5 vaguely calls a "catastrophic emergency," and the framework is in place for the imposition of martial law. <br />As a recent example of the sort of activity FEMA is engaged in, as they tell flood victims in the Midwest to fend for themselves, consider the $22 million per year the agency has spent "on a terror training program within a real town in New Mexico where helicopters buzz overhead in the middle of the night, mock nuclear explosions are drilled and 'suicide bombers' are taken down by SWAT teams who pull citizens out of their homes," writes Steve Watson. The Associated Press (see video) deems such events "unthinkable," and indeed they are, while floods and hurricanes are a reality. <br />FEMA has very little to do with the sort of natural disasters the people of Iowa, Wisconsin, and Indiana are currently experiencing and everything to do with martial law, thus DHS boss Chertoff's satisfaction "with the federal response to the massive Midwest flooding" is little more than a dog and pony show, a public relations gimmick slapped over the real face of FEMA.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/42225-martial-law-the-true-role-of-fema">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/41500-who-controls-the-media-vnrs-and-images-of-war 2008-09-06T00:35:09Z bugbee <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/W0XpBRWLKX8&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/W0XpBRWLKX8&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/41500-who-controls-the-media-vnrs-and-images-of-war"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/46790" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Amy Goodman explains the source of Video News Releases (VNRs) and their inherent danger as propaganda.
