First, let me be clear: there are no secret (or not so secret) FEMA prison camps<\/a>, and if there were secret prison camps, they would be operated by the military<\/a>, not by FEMA. So let’s just move that conspiracy theory off to the side, because the whole “FEMA prison camp” thing is at least two different flavors of nonsense.<\/p>\n

However, the suggestion that such a thing could never happen here ignores a very important fact: it has already happened here.<\/p>\n

There are people alive today who remember when FDR issued an executive order to arrest and imprison tens of thousands of US citizens<\/a> (and nearly as many legal immigrants) without trial or due process of any kind — and in 1944 the US Supreme Court declared this a valid exercise of Executive power<\/a> under the authority granted him by the US Constitution. That didn’t happen in Stalinist Russia or Nazi Germany — that happened here<\/strong> (the USA).<\/p>\n

So while stories about FEMA internment camps is a bunch of crackpot nonsense, I think it takes a special sort of hubris to think something like that could never happen here again<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
