Rex 84 – From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Exercises similar to Rex 84 happen regularly.[5] Plans for roundups of large numbers of persons in the United States in times of crisis are constructed during periods of increased political repression such as the Palmer Raids and the McCarthy Era.
CIVIL SECURITY PLANNING
Since WWII, the U.S. government has had contingency plans in preparation for a large scale disaster or attack. However, during the last twenty-five years–beginning with civil unrest at the height of the Vietnam War–the government’s plans have increasingly on focused ways of controlling political dissent.
US FEMA Camps
The United States Federal Emergency Management Agency has numerous detainment camps throughout the United States. Some camps have been recently constructed and / or renovated and are fully staffed. The existence of the camps coupled with Presidential Executive Orders giving the President and Department of Homeland Security (of which FEMA is now part) control over ‘national essential functions’ in the event of ‘catastrophic emergency’ have resulted in concerns that the camps will be used to forcefully detain American citizens for unconstitutional purposes.
FEMA CONCENTRATION CAMPS: Locations and Executive Orders
There over 800 prison camps in the United States, all fully operational and ready to receive prisoners. They are all staffed and even surrounded by full-time guards, but they are all empty. These camps are to be operated by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) should Martial Law need to be implemented in the United States and all it would take is a presidential signature on a proclamation and the attorney general’s signature on a warrant to which a list of names is attached.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11921 allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and distribution, of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit and the flow of money in U.S. financial institution in any undefined national emergency. It also provides that when a state of emergency is declared by the President, Congress cannot review the action for six months.
The sites listed above are talking about emergency housing set up in strategic locations by FEMA so that in an emergency they don’t have to ship evacuees all over the country like happened after Katrina.
Some of them can hold up to 100,000 people. For reference, stadiums hold 50,000 to 75,000 people.
The conspiracy theorists are saying that the camps are to put people when the US goes into another Depression and there isn’t enough room in the jails for the rioters.
Another theory is that if the U.S. government suspects a terrorist lives in a town they will sweep up the entire town and put them in one of these camps so that they don’t have to waste time figuring out exactly who the terrorist is.
A third theory is that when they take over the government, the Christian Right will be putting atheists in the camps so that we can’t poison their kids’ minds.
The other theory that I’ve heard is that if we’re friends with Cuba again we’ll have to move the prisoners out of Gitmo so we’ll put them in the camps with any more terrorists we might catch.
I’m reminded of several scifi movies such as Soylent Green and A Boy & His Dog in which the populace lives in squalid conditions while the few elite live in luxury in heavily-guarded neighborhoods. A dystopian future used to seem rather far-fetched. But I suppose the victims of Nazi Germany thought it was rather far-fetched, even as they were being loaded into cattle cars.
