Civilian Work Camps
by JD Nutt, IG News Web-Editor
As we know it today, our personal free-will is only a finger snap away from being lost to a civilian work camp here in the USA.
Forget about the conspiracy theory web sites and the nay-sayers in America. The following are the conspiracy facts that are coming to light in the United States today. These facts are reality and to turn away from them would be like an ostrich putting it's head in the sand to avoid the truth. No parallels will be made in this report to past historical governments or regimes. Just the facts of policies and rules implemented today in America.
Fail to comply or speak out in opposition in a time of crisis and see where your right to freedom lands you. A person can be interned into Federal custody if he or she is deemed a threat to national security by authority of the patrol officer or foot soldier who decides to detain you.
On May 9th, 2007, President George W. Bush signed his "National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directives labeled NSPD 51and HSPD-20".
Directives NSPD 51 and HSPD-20 removes congressional approval and delegates the authority to the office of Homeland Security. Presidential Decision Directive 67 of October 21, 1998 ("Enduring Constitutional Government and Continuity of Government Operations") signed by President Clinton has been revoked. Congress no longer has the authority to approve or deny a national emergency relating to the Continuity of Government (COG).
On January 24th, 2006, Katherine Hunt of MarketWatch.com reported that KBR was awarded a Homeland Security contract worth up to $385M. She reported the following:
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- KBR, the engineering and construction subsidiary of Halliburton Co., said Tuesday it has been awarded a contingency contract from the Department of Homeland Security to supports its Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities in the event of an emergency. 
The maximum total value of the contract is $385 million and consists of a 1-year base period with four 1-year options. KBR held the previous ICE contract from 2000 through 2005. The contract, which is effective immediately, provides for establishing temporary detention and processing capabilities to expand existing ICE Detention and Removal Operations Program facilities in the event of an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S., or to support the rapid development of new programs, KBR said. 
The contract may also provide migrant detention support to other government organizations in the event of an immigration emergency, as well as the development of a plan to react to a national emergency, such as a natural disaster, the company said.
AR 210-35
Under Army Regulation 210-35, Titled as "Civilian Inmate Labor Program" dated 14 January, 2005, it allows for the US Army to utilize civilians who are under the supervision of Federal Corrections to labor without compensation.
Minimum level security inmates who do not need constant guard are used to perform tasks of labor for the "Federal Inmate Civilian Labor Details".  The US Army cannot be held liable in any form by agreement listed in the memorandum of understanding on page 14.
On page 24 of Army Regulation manual 210-35, it reads; "The development of the occupational and educational skills of prison inmates is essential to their rehabilitation and to their ability to make an effective return to free society. Meaningful employment serves to develop those skills. (Editors note; When I visited Dachau, the Nazi prison camp in Germany, I remember the sign over the gate that read " Arbeight Mach Frei" translated: Work will make you free.)
With the Presidential directives in place it could allow the suspension of all constitutional powers. Habeas Corpus can be suspended again as President Lincoln did during the Civil War. The first Amendment can be suspended in order to silence free speech. The second Amendment can be suspended in order to allow authorities to collect personal firearms from your home. Our elective body in Washington all the way down to your city council can be sent home with no new elections planned. Tribal lands are also included in the directives. All that has to occur is another national ordeal and then the President snapping his fingers to put the directives in motion.
Is their a solution to this ordeal? Andrew Sullivan seems to think so.
"There is still a chance to repair the damage - but given how much we have lost since 9/11, the constitutional consequences of another major attack are likely to be terminal to the American experiment in liberty. If a Giuliani or a Cheney is in power on such a day, we can kiss goodbye to the constitution. If I sound overly alarmed by what has happened to American liberty, it's because I honestly didn't expect to see habeas corpus, the most basic freedom we have, so casually thrown away and torture so casually enshrined in the American system. I never believed an American president would not only claim but exercise the power to detain any person in America and jail and torture them with impunity - indefinitely. But these are the facts; and my own book was an attempt to account for them within the conservative philosophical tradition." - Andrew Sullivan -
Isolation of the USA doesn't seem such a bad idea any more. Seal the borders, prevent any newcomers from entering and elect a conservative, constitution supporting type of candidate that will re-instill American values. To hell with the rest of the world, close them off. Get the homeless children off of the streets, address the rest of the problems and solve them, then re-invent the American dream.
