January 2, 2012 New Nationwide FEMA Camps Should Raise Eyebrows

Of all the rumors flying around on the internet, one just refuses to die, and it concerns America's FEMA camps.


In a nutshell, there seems to be a solicitation of bids occurring for the staffing of FEMA camps within 72 hours of implementation by an order from either Homeland Security or the president. This situation begs to be investigated, with special consideration paid to the motives of the present administration.


I went to the source, the FedBizOpps.gov, and searched for the solicitation number HSFEHQ-10-R-0027, titled National Responder Support Camp.


A search of the history of the amendments to this Solicitation for Contract showed that it had been modified several times, with the last modification -- number 0008, with an original date of letting out to bid with a synopsis of May 13, 2011 -- occurring on December 16, 2011. This last modification rescinded the solicitation, with said modification's purpose noted as follows:


1. Cancel Solicitation HSFEHQ-10-R-0027.

2. A new draft solicitation will be issued on January 2012 for industry comment.

3. A Pre-Solicitation Conference will be held approximately two week post draft solicitation.


Okay...score one for the internet and the vigilant citizens who perform an invaluable service to our nation by monitoring the actions of our government and its various agencies.


I began the laborious task of reading the Invitation to Bid -- this tome is 116, pages with many canned and boilerplate requirements for doing business with Uncle Sam duly enshrined amongst the pages. The Task Order Request (TOPR) under Scenario I & II under Section J of the Appendix made for another 42 pages. The required size of the camps was fluid, though they had the required capacity of 301 to two thousand, including security and camp cadre.


The staffing requirements or cadre for FEMA personnel for these camps -- which are identified as being located in five (5) distinct regions throughout and within the borders of the USA, with camps located in each and every state -- was three to fifteen each. The size of these camps will vary around 5 acres per 1,000 inhabitants, though they will never be less than 3 acres for populations of 500 or fewer inhabitants within the camps' boundaries.


This requirement also had a minimum square footage for each inhabitant: either the camp's cadre and first responders of 63 square feet, or approximately 8 feet on each side. This is slightly less than current Federal Court(s) requirements for housing prisoners, which is approximately 72 square feet. Perimeter fencing or barricades is required to be six feet high, enclosing the camp, with all traffic in or out to be recorded on a daily log and with security restricting all traffic and access. The contractor shall also provide fencing and barricades around areas which are "off limits" to occupants. ID Badges are required and are either blue or red, depending on the carrier is temporary or considered an occupant of the camp.


The first of several anomalies in the solicitation for bid was in the contractor staffing requirements, which puzzlingly required staff to be fully operational within 72 hours. Furthermore, "henever practical, displaced citizens will be given the first opportunities for employment within the camp, assuming skills and capabilities are pertinent for the open positions."

Flip-Flopper Caught On Tape!

EXCLUSIVE: In '02 Romney Touted D.C. Connections, Federal Funds
By Jonathan Karl | ABC News Blogs – Fri, Mar 2, 2012.


In a long-forgotten tape from the 2002 Massachusetts governor's race obtained by ABC News, Mitt Romney is seen touting his Washington connections and his ability to get millions of taxpayer dollars from the federal government.

"I am big believer in getting money where the money is," Romney says on the video, "The money is in Washington."

The video, which was surreptitiously shot by Democratic opponents of Romney on Oct. 16, 2002, shows him addressing a group called the New Bedford Industrial Foundation. The Power Point presentation he uses lists ways to improve economic development in Massachusetts, including "boost federal involvement."

"I want to go after every grant, every project, every department in Washington to assure that we are taking advantage of economic development opportunities," Romney tells the group.



And while Romney now often criticizes his opponents for being Washington insiders, in this video he touts his Washington connections.

"I have learned from my Olympic experience that if you have people who really understand how Washington works and have personal associations there you can get money to help build economic development opportunities," Romney says.

Romney has frequently criticized Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum for their roles in getting federal money - so-called earmarks - to fund special projects in their states while they were in Congress. The Romney campaign, however, says this is different.

"Every state budget in the country is dependent on federal funding, and every governor in the country makes requests for funding, but governors do not get to decide how Congress appropriates money," said Romney spokesman Andrea Saul. "Governor Romney supports a permanent ban on earmarks, which are symbols of what's wrong with Washington."

As for his experience running the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics, Romney says, ""the whole winter games was a combination of the federal, state and local governments along with private enterprise."

"We actually received over $410 million from the federal government for the Olympic games. That is a huge increase over anything ever done before and we did that by going after every agency of government," he says.

He even cites money one his colleagues managed to get for the Olympics from the Department of Education.

"She said, 'Why don't I get the Department of Education to buy tickets to the Paralympics so that high school and grade school kids can go to the Paralympics?' She literally got, I believe the number was over $1 million from the Department of Education, funding to buy tickets for kids," Romney said. "This way we got kids there and we also got additional revenues that we wouldn't have had. That kind of creativity I want to bring to everything we do."

The Romney campaign points out that more than half of the taxpayer money for the Salt Lake City Olympics went for federal, state and local agencies to handle security. And because Romney so aggressively pursued private money, the taxpayer share of the total budget for the Olympics represented 18 percent, compared to 50 percent for the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid.

Thank you for the article, Conrad.
Pure SPECULATION by the media in that article.
However your quote is MISQUOTED!!!scold

Here is the REAL quote from the article you presented...

The son of Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul gave a speech in Louisville, Kentucky Wednesday, and afterwards reporters asked him if he would accept an offer from Mr. Romney to be his running mate if the situation presented itself.

“I don’t know if I can answer that question, but I can say it would be an honor to be considered,” said Mr. Paul.

Sure, it would be an Honor for a Libertarian to be Considered for a V.P. position from a staunch Republican!professor

Nowhere does Rand Paul say that he would accept or even consider the offer!!!frustrated

Thanks for the humor but THAT would Never happen!!!

Ron Paul is not a backroom deal maker and neither he or his son Rand would ever agree to such an absurd deal.

Ron and Rand are strict Constitutionist.
Romney is not. They will not compromise their beliefs. It would be like selling your soul to the devil.

Besides, Ron Paul knows he CAN win if he gets the delegates and that is what he is going for, the 1,144 delegates.

Here is Ron's latest Ad.



Paul the Only “Anti-Romney” Who Can Beat Obama

Just a reminder that no matter what happens tonight, the latest Rasmussen poll has Ron Paul as the only GOP presidential candidate who could actually beat President Obama in the general election. If Republicans don’t want Mitt but still want to beat Obama, Ron is their best practical bet. I found the words used in this Christian Science Monitor report about this latest poll to be some of the most amusing:

How about this for a poll shocker: While everybody in US politics has been preoccupied with theMichigan primary, Ron Paul has sneaked up on President Obama and for the first time leads the incumbent in a head-to-head survey. (note: “first time” is not exactly true depending on the margin of error)

That’s right, leads – as in, ahead of, out front, winning, and so forth. According to a Rasmussen Reports poll released Tuesday, at the moment Representative Paul bests Mr. Obama in a head-to-head matchup by 43 to 41 percent.

The same poll has Mitt Romney tied with Obama, at 44 percent each. Rick Santorum is three points behind the president, according to Rasmussen, and Newt Gingrichis 10 points behind

No More Freedom Of Speech

Yes, sad but true.

Even with the knowledge that we receive, we must be accountable.
We are accountable to be responsible.

Make your vote count!!!
Vote with your heart!heart beating

I will be voting on Friday.
I pray for our Nation.
Don't vote for who you think everyone else will vote for so you will win. This is the most important election this Nation will ever have. Choose to save your country, vote Ron Paul!

Ron Paul CAN win!!! They just don't want you to know he can win.sad flower

Not only in politics of the country, but in business practices, it has become the standard as well.

It has happened to me in the work place! I received the reprimand and I was fired and the deceitful liar kept his job and they knew he was lying. The Supervisor just said, "Oh well..."

The News Media are Owned by the corruptors he spoke of, including Fox News.

I loved watching the Judge, he held nothing back and told it like it is. He won't stop now, surely he will find other venues to continue to speak out.

What if because of Ron Paul‘s presidential campaign, because he isn’t campaigning just for votes as his competition is, because he is educating the population and winning the hearts and minds of a once free people and inspiring them to fight for their freedom once more, freedom wins? What if we can be free again? What will it take to make that happen?

No More Freedom Of Speech

Andrew "Judge" Napolitano lost his job at fox news after
making the speech printed below.

Friday, February 24, 2012

What if you are only allowed to vote because it doesn’t make a difference? What if no matter how you vote, the elites get to have it their way? What if “one person, one vote” is just a fiction created by the government to induce your compliance? What if democracy is dangerous to personal freedom? What if democracy erodes the people’s understanding of natural rights and the foundations of government, and instead turns elections into beauty contests?

What if democracy allows the government to do anything it wants, as long as more people bother to show up at the voting booth to support it than to oppose it? What if the purpose of democracy is to convince people that they could prosper not through the creation of wealth but through theft from others? What if the only moral way to acquire wealth – aside from inheritance – is through voluntary economic activity? What if the government persuaded you that you could acquire wealth through political activity? What if economic activity included all the productive and peaceful things we do? What if political activity included all the parasitical and destructive things the government does?
What if governments were originally established to protect people’s freedom, but always turn into political and imperialist enterprises that seek to expand their power, increase their territory and heighten their control of the population? What if the idea that we need a government to take care of us is actually a fiction? What if our strength as individuals and durability as a culture are contingent not on the strength of the government but on the amount of freedom we have from the government?

What if we’re seeing civil unrest around the world precisely because government is out of control? What if the cocktail of big government and democracy brings dependence and destruction? What if big government destroys people’s motivations and democracy convinces them that the only motivation they need is to vote and go along with whatever the government does?

What if the Republican primaries we’re seeing unfold aren’t actually as democratic as they may appear to be? What if the results you have seen from the states that have voted thus far don’t match the composition of the delegates those states send to the Tampa convention this summer because the polls aren’t what counts, but what counts are the secret meetings that come after the voting? What if Joe Stalin was right when he said the most powerful person in the world is the guy who counts the votes?

What if the greatest tyrant in history lives among us? What if that tyrant always gets its way, no matter what the laws are or what the Constitution says? What if that tyrant is the majority of voters? What if the tyranny of the majority in a democracy recognizes no limits on its power?

What if the government misinforms voters so as to justify anything the government wants to do? What if the government bribes people with the money it prints? What if it gives entitlements to the poor, tax breaks to the middle class and bailouts to the rich just to keep all of us dependent upon it? What if a vibrant republic requires not just the democratic process of voting, but also informed and engaged voters who understand first principles of limited government and free-market economics, and the divine origin of natural rights?

What if we could free ourselves from the yoke of big government through a campaign of education and information and personal courage that leads to a revolutionary return to first principles? What if the establishment doesn’t want this? What if the government remains the same no matter who wins elections?

Your Government Is Firing Upon YOU...

Lots of good comments here and I understand where each of you are comming from.

I am not a warmonger at all, I wish for Peace to us ALL.
I believe in bringing harm to no one. I just perceive that nations have gone to war for much less, in my opinion. I feel that crimes against humanity should be at the top of the list of reasons to go to war.

I saw on the news this morning, a reporter stating that Syria was a Clandestine place that holds many secrets of Nations of the world, and that was why nations were not getting envolved.

Tonight's news stated that these were indeed, Crimes against Humanity and I believe Obama has finally decided that something should be done about it and Hillary Clinton has something on her agenda concerning Syria.

Perhaps the people are not fighting fairly as ttom stated.
I have always heard that all is fair in love and war.
Besides, would you look to play fair if it were happening to you?
You would do what ever you could to fight your enemy and stay alive.
I would hardly say the Syrian government is playing fair, attacking Homs with tanks and heavy artilary, killing people at funerals and women and children.

If this happened in your country, resistance groups would form to fight back. I would hope that someone would come to your aid to overthrow your government and make your country a peacable place.

In many wars, journalist were allowed to operate without harm. Why would they not want news coverage? So they can say it never happened, that the people are lying???

I suppose we will see what happens in the days to come.
See if anyone has the heart to rescue the people of Syria without the purpose of financial gain. Isn't the value of human lives enough, to save them from Tyranny?
