From my friend, a retired Lt. Colonel : (via Eyes on the Lilies)

Hello out there! ... Anybody paying attention to this? Alcee Hastings an impeached and discredited former Federal Judge ... and an incumbent Congressman in a district where koolaid drinking voters flat do not care, has proposed that we build detention centers for civilians. This is the same political party that locked up American citizens of Japanese desent during WWII.

I heard Jerome Corsi being interviewed today on the radio about this so I decided to look it up. There must be an invasion, or perhaps the collapse of Mexico, or narco-war spillover to be able to override Posse Comitatus.

[The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385) passed on June 16, 1878 after the end of Reconstruction, with the intention (in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807) of substantially limiting the powers of the federal government to use the military for law enforcement. The statute generally prohibits federal military personnel and units of the National Guard under federal authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within the United States, except where expressly authorized by the Constitution or Congress. The Coast Guard is exempt from the Act.]

There are plenty of old billets in existing bases and USAR/ARNG Installations. Why do they want new ones?

I helped prepare Ft. McCoy in 1980 to receive Cuban Mariel Boatlift refugees. I was simply amazed at how fast fence and triple concertina and barricades can go up when we need to do it. It was necessary as there were many bad guys, criminals, and mental patients mixed in with political refuges.
REP Hastings is proposing something else here. The Administration is expecting civilian unrest... Really ...why ?

Rest easy about our soldiers. Don't expect the US Military to obey or abet unconstitutional orders. How and what are these guys in Congress up to? Why no press coverage [stupid question, I know]. I do know that no soldier I ever served with would hunt down or kill an American citizen.
