On FEMA camps.... why is it that the fringes and not so fringes FEAR FEMA will do this?

Well first things first, the US has a history of this. Whether we are talking of the reservation system. a form of confinement, or the Japanese Internment (as well as German and Italian) during WW II. So to say that this is impossible, it is to ignore history. What is impossible is that FEMA will be doing it. They simply lack the training, equipment or other things to do this. But to think that camps are conspiracy... is to ignore history. (And the true real events were done by the Army, which is fully capable of doing it)

What is significant though is that I took a virtual stroll on the Web. It ranged from our lovely (and very much right wing) Oath Keepers... as well as the Tea Party Nation, all the way to the other side of the spectrum and plenty of Occupy virtual sites, as well as yes, the US Socialist Party. Here is something interesting, due to the imminent signing of the NDAA (read Jonathan Turley's take on it, does not make me happy as a civil libertarian)... the internet noise on them camps has gone off any kind of scale.

So here is another major issue that both sides will agree on... and I am not so sure that more and more issues that the people agree on is good for the PTB's. Seriously, the more they find they have in common, the less they will see each other as the enemy.

Happy thoughts on the end of the year... this will make 2012 highly unpredictable. Ah yes need to make sure I have batteries charged on a moment's notice...

(Oh and in my opinion the effect of this in POLITICS is important, but whatever)

I'd like to see his take on FEMA camps because when I googled FEMA Camps, just saw a bunch of Paulite type nonsense. I did find this from 07.

and this one but no mention of FEMA Camps.

Why will this issue make 2012 highly unpredictable? Not sure I understand what you are trying to imply here.
