FEMA deception?

Interesting ...

They can't run a regular government let alone a secret one.

interesting indeed

interesrting

So what is the answer to this? Does anyone know?

I agree it is a screwed up organization that even if it tried to be secret would fail. But I do not think most Americans (including me) have no idea how many powers Fema has.

Nothing unless you do something.

FEMA indeed has these powers. The fact is that at present they are both too incompetent and have no reason to use them. Currently there are camps built all over the country for holding you and I in case of an "insurrection". What would be required would be a presidential order suspending the other branches of government. The law for this was issued by executive order early last year. Then FEMA would request the Attorney General sign the order to begin the roundups. This isn't some conspiracy theory or tinfoil hat thing. The camps have been photographed and Chertoff does not deny their existence. The general order setting the whole thing up was in the news all last year.

The only thing is it's no secret. Americans simply don't seem to care.

I don't think that kind of secret could be kept for long. There are too many people that would have to be in the know and it wouldn't be long before Congreess would be holding hearings.

I think that an awful lot of things are going on "behind the scene" ... always have been where power and control are the primary interest of some people ... always has been.

Conspiracies are about secret operations that must remain secret to work ... always for the benefit of the conspirator(s) and at the expense of the "victims." When huge amounts of wealth are involved, the stakes are very high and money (and morals) are of no concern ... to think that these things do not go on, is the epitome of naivete'.

It seems to me that there are two primary classes of people that make up our citizenship ... those that are very objective oriented, that believe only what is "proven" to them ... they are generally more conservative in thought, their "reality" is more restricted to that "box" of objectivity ... they prefer to keep that reality simple and believable ... something they can feel "comfortable" with ... they say that if it ain't broke don't attempt to fix it ... and leave sleeping dogs lie. They do NOT believe in conspiracies because they trust their like thinkers who their society has honored, those that are "objectively" sane ... those that do NOT deal in subjectivity at all, such being the realm of "kooks" ... and all "normal" people (ego defined) are considered by selves and peers to be just that and definitely NOT "kooks".

Naturally the "other" class of people must then be the kooks ... those who seek the deepest truths about their reality, possibly even dealing in that "nasty" realm of "subjectivity" to find it ... the INtuitive and maybe even "spiritual" source of things ... transcendent thought ...

For myself, having always been a bit of a cynic and skeptic all of my life, I never bought into the surface presentations of society, secular and religious, about how things "worked" in this world ... my intuition told me that there was, or sure should be, more to it all ... I have always sought the greatest truth about things.

That "seeking" led me to have a spiritual awakening about 14 years ago ... ever since that time, never before, I have highly valued the subjectivity of my spiritual (INtuitive) connection to "higher truths" ... and I have thus been INformed that Conspiracies DO in fact exist, always have ... and the most dangerous and insidious ones do in fact put this world's humanity at a strict disadvantage when it comes to our God granted "freedoms" ... and it is ONLY the TRUTH that will set us FREE ...

But to each their own, some people are just afraid to be an individual and face up to truth out of fear ... they would rather stay in their little comfortable box of accepting that their leaders and "authorities" have their best interests at heart and of course, know what is "best" for them ... such as that all conspiracies are just the theories of liberal nut-job kooks that have no grip on "reality" ...

Thank "God" that I have the knowledge that I have and which gives me peace of mind overall, including the picture of the eternal that is purely "subjective" (as are most "theories").

Hmmmmm, thanks for sharing interesting..

FEMA has potential dark powers.

However, none of those "dark powers" has ever been exercised. Sometimes I think people have stayed up late at night and watched too many episodes of 'the X Files', regarding FEMA. They're just another part of our bloated bureaucracy.

Would a true "secret government within the government" allow itself to be cast in such a terrible light after Katrina? Nope, if they were as evil as some have implied, they'd have blacked out all negative coverage of themselves.

Bret, you say what you do because your thinking is so dualistically simplistic ... too much inside of the box that you have let your authorities build around you ... you want to think in terms of black and white, things either are or they are not ... the world does NOT work that way, it just wants everyone to think so ... as for others knowing about the truths, that is avoided via "plausible deniability" ... and other shams.
