H.R. 645 and The FEMA Concentration Camps
For most people, when they hear the word “concentration camp,” the think of the notorious extermination centers in Nazi Germany. Of course, in a world where the masses are led astray by a dumbed-down mainstream media, the facts behind these two words often go unnoticed.
As Byron Tripp expla
ins, the typical concentration camp acts as a holding center for mass numbers of people. In this case, he sites a number of camps established on U.S. soil in the past two-hundred years, such as Andersonville, Indian reservations, and Japanese internment centers. The most recent came in the form of the NFL Stadium in New Orleans, where thousands of citizens were rounded up by FEMA and the National Guard and sent after Hurricane Katrina. Many of these citizens faced confiscation of personal firearms.
These days, with the “Swine Flu threat” becoming a daily story in the mainstream media, the idea of future internment centers, along with The National Emergency Centers Establishment Act (H.R. 645 – grants KBR the right to construct no fewer than six camps nationally), remains shrouded in secrecy.

Fed Must Make Public Reports on Emergency Bank Loans
Bloomberg reports:
The Federal Reserve must make records about emergency lending to financial institutions public within five days because it failed to convince a judge the documents should be exempt from the Freedom of Information Act.You'll want to read the whole article.
Manhattan Chief U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska rejected the central bank’s argument that the records aren’t covered by the law because their disclosure would harm borrowers’ competitive positions. The collateral lists “are central to understanding and assessing the government’s response to the most cataclysmic financial crisis in America since the Great Depression,” according to the lawsuit that led to the ruling.
The Fed has refused to name the borrowers, the amounts of loans or the assets put up as collateral under 11 programs, saying that doing so might set off a run by depositors and unsettle shareholders. Bloomberg LP, the New York-based company majority-owned by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, sued Nov. 7 on behalf of its Bloomberg News unit.
“When an unprecedented amount of taxpayer dollars were lent to financial institutions in unprecedented ways and the Federal Reserve refused to make public any of the details of its extraordinary lending, Bloomberg News asked the court why U.S. citizens don’t have the right to know,” said Matthew Winkler, the editor-in-chief of Bloomberg News. “We’re gratified the court is defending the public’s right to know what is being done in the public interest.”
