A while back we had a couple of conservs accuse the prez of trying to put into effect some camps that would re-educate people into the world of liberal thinking….I could name names but for the sake of argument I shall leave them out of this conversation……I personally think that they are not important to American democracy…….
In my radical days I accused the educational system of being such a camp….that we are taught a very limited view of what it was to be a citizen….the rights and the policies that we should aspire to if we were a good American….I still hold some of those views to a point (still a bit of long hair hippie radical in me)……..
But after all that I found something that would lead me to reassess my stand……
Found this on prisonplanet.com……..
A shocking U.S. Army manual that describes how political activists in prison camps will be indoctrinated by specially assigned psychological operations officers contains numerous clear references to the fact that the policies do apply domestically to U.S. citizens.
Despite the fact that the manual is well over 300 pages long and would take hours to read properly, within minutes of posting our story yesterday a minority of commenters were claiming that the policies outlined in the document only pertained to foreign combat operations and did not apply domestically to U.S. citizens.
This is similar to the denial witnessed prior to the passage of the NDAA when some argued that the indefinite detention provisions did not apply to American citizens despite numerous legal analysts asserting they did and President Barack Obama himself acknowledging they did when he signed the bill.
Click here to read the full document entitled FM 3-39.40 Internment and Resettlement Operations.
The most alarming portion of the document appears on page 56 and makes it clear that detention camps will have PSYOP teams whose responsibility will be to use “indoctrination programs to reduce or remove antagonistic attitudes,” as well as targeting “political activists” with such indoctrination programs to provide “understanding and appreciation of U.S. policies and actions.”
Let’s make one thing clear – the manual primarily deals with enemy combatants captured and detained in foreign prison camps run by the U.S. Military. However, another thing that is just as clear from reading the manual in full is the fact that it also applies to citizens detained within the United States, whether they be DCs (displaced citizens) or “civilian internees,” in other words citizens who are detained for, “security reasons, for protection, or because he or she committed an offense against the detaining power.”
Please take some time and read the link….I think that you will be surprised…..whether conserv or lib……makes NO difference…….it is a scary scenario!
