Not sure if this is old or not:

http://cortez.gnn.tv/blogs/14561/Halliburton_building_Concentration_Camps_in_the_US

Pretty interesting I think. Anyone have any more info of these camps they are building? They are really a scary idea.

Also, not sure if you guys have heard or seem this:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1585562142333161866&q=911+stranger+than+fiction&hl=en

I actually watched all of it. All 4 hours... Really scary also.

I'm kinda in the conspiracy mood, so bring on the chat.

    I haven't seen the video (yet) but I have some comments to make. The thing about Jews is that there are a small minority of them that are extremely jingoistic when it comes to Israel. They have a very concentrated self-consciousness when it comes to their heritage that leads them to views that seem to be extreme, but an extreme that is continually ignored by the media. Whenever anyone points out obvious mechanisms stemming from this minority in Jewish culture (AIPAC), they are labeled "anti-Semites" or "self hating Jews". How are we supposed to think of that? When these labels are thrown around so freely that it only gives credence to the actual anti-Semites of the world. [To be fair, issues pertaining to Israel aren't just advanced by Jews, conservatives and evangelicals probably play as much of a role in it.]

    I was born in Yugoslavia. If I know anything, it is crazy jingoistic fucks that rationalize their actions and beliefs purely around their ethnic and/or religious identity. And whenever I hear someone's seemingly rational opinion and/or skepticism on Israel be completely passed over by simply being labeled as anti-Semitic, it just sends chills down my spine. Why it is justified for America to go to such extremes for Israel just isn't self-evident to me, especially since we continually fail to do so for others.

    Edit: I just finished watching the videos. I feel sick. I hope it's all untrue.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9/11_conspiracy_theories diffuses some of the claims.

    Sounds like what Australia had happening in response to illegal immigrants. There was a fair upcry about that so immigrants are shipped offshore instead now.

    Extending that to a conspiracy theory seems somewhat questionable, it seems more like a disincentive to immigrants.

    There are no concentration camps.

    There are simply places where we group people together, against their will, who all have something in common.

    I believe he was referring to the video link I posted. Which is a paper about a theory that Isreal is responsible for 911.

    And yes I know it's funny to think about concentration camps here in America. But it's no theory, it's a fact that they exist. Google: Fema inmate labor camps

    A contract for 350million was signed a year ago to build them all over the country. They are being built under the guise as "illegal immigrant work camps". But the truth is that they are holding more than Mexicans. They are illegally holding legal immigrants as well as other US citizens deemed suspicious.

    And don't take my word for it. Watch the google videos on the site I posted. Search for the articles. It's all there: Video of the signing, news reports of people being abducted, video of children playing on playgrounds behind barbed wire fence, trains that pull directly up to the gate of the "residential facilities". They are old prisons being converted into detention centers.

    I am new to this idea, just like you. So I was equally as skeptic. But the truth is, is that they are real, and very scary.

    I hate conspiracy theorists

    What is the whole thing up to now? Jewish terrorists abducted the passengers of the planes in mid-flight and dropped them off in US concentration camps but the planes were not actually planes at all but instead missiles projecting holographic images of planes except the missiles were duds to make it look like the Twin Towers were blowing up because of them when in fact it was the work of (more) Jewish terrorists who had secretly planted 500 tons of explosives in plain sight overnight in collaboration with the CIA and the owner of the buildings who had been privately informed of 9/11 by Cheney so took out an insurance policy or something because HE KNEW man HE KNEW no blood for oil also Bu$h is secretly Dave Ben-Gurion the "dead" first prime minister of Israel who is also, ironically, a Nazi plant?

    I've heard about these camps, but truthfully I don't know what to believe.

    I do find it highly unlikely that they are building Nazi-esque (sp?) concentration camps for use in some massive nefarious plan however. As much as the actions of the US government piss me off sometimes, that is just too much of a stretch.

    I remember there was a big controversy when some governor decided to start letting people out two years early because they needed more room for the newcomers

    I don't remember what state that was or how it is nationwide, though

    I smell a ridiculous conspiracy theory.

    The problem with ridiculous conspiracy theories is, they ruin the credibility, by association, of people who have legitimate concerns. Concerns about, for instance, the prison-industry's drive to incarcerate and exploit as many Americans as possible as a source of cheap labor. Or concerns about the imprisonment of suspects in the 'War on Terror' without legal representation or a timely and fair trial.

    I'd like if you guys would stay on topic a bit more. I was hoping for some points and counter points, not just a bunch of sarcastic brush offs.

    I am actually pretty skeptic of the whole Jewish thing, mainly because I know so little about the actual story we were told by the media. The only thing I've heard from that is: Osama did it, here is a tape where he says he did it that we found.

    The camps... I really really really would like someone to prove me wrong. It hurts me to believe that innocent people are being abducted and held indefinitely under false pretenses. That's not my America.

    It's just that there is a signed contract, by Halliburton and our military that says exactly what they are to be used for.

    Also, don't confuse these camps with Prison labor camps. They are not the same there. There are no intentions to ever have inmates be used as cheap labor within them.

    Innocent people being held indefinitely? Yes. A lot (and by a lot I don't mean hundreds or thousands) of people suspected of being terrorists (many if not most of whom were innocent) have been detained by the government, particularly right after 9/11, without being given access to a lawyer, being charged with anything, etc. These were highly publicized because many of them (tried to) sue after the fact and I'd be surprised if someone hadn't heard of them.

    But American citizens being snatched away by the CIA or something under the cover of darkness never to be seen or heard from again? Not so much. In fact much of the reason why there hasn't been more of a public outcry over some of the ridiculous legislation passed (like the government can deport you whenever or decide you've revoked your right to stay here based on your actions) has hinged on the policies not applying to American citizens (sometimes only to people who were born here I think, too, which is retarded, but because most people aren't first-generation immigrants there was never a lasting outcry about it). Some citizens may have been detained immediately after 9/11 - I don't remember - but people would have accepted it either way because 9/11 was a national emergency. The government is not actively detaining citizens for no reason at all, and while we do have the largest prison population in the world, the people in prison have been convicted in a court of law (obviously Guantanamo Bay and secret overseas CIA torture chambers don't count here, but the people held in those generally aren't citizens, either).

    Holding someone for six weeks after they have entered the country with a stolen passport is hardly indefinate. Deportation proceedings do take time.

    Still the articles states that upwards of 200 other children (and their parents along with that) were being held there. I wish I had a better source with more detail looking into the other people being held.

    But yeah you're right, looks like it isn't entirely indefinite.
