EL GRAN HERMANO TE VIGILA
América Latina militarizada El Comando Sur de los Estados Unidos (SOUTHCOM)

Desde hace ya varios años los Estados Unidos, no solo intervienen política y económicamente en la vida de los países latinoamericanos, sino que además se suma la intervención militar, con adiestramientos y ejercicios en toda América Latina, la venta de armas, la instalación de sistemas de vigilancia y espionaje, incluida instalación de bases militares, a cargo de un Comando especial de las Fuerzas Armadas estadounidenses, encargado de controlar las acciones militares de medio continente.

Ante el silencio de la prensa mundial, los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica, han comenzado a militarizar todo el continente, para que en un futuro cercano, pueda controlar la totalidad de la región, adueñarse de sus grandes recursos naturales y defender los intereses de las grandes empresas. El poderoso Imperio, conoce los graves problemas que vendrán por el cambio climático, y busca un nuevo hogar, y para ello cuenta con un gran potencial militar, y una estructura bien organizada de poder político y económico, que lleva lentamente a la disolución de las naciones libres del continente.

Divisiones, estructura y objetivos de las Fuerzas Armadas del Comando Sur - Operaciones Especiales Comando Sur (SOCSOUTH) El SOCSOUTH (Special Operations Command South), es responsable de todas las actividades del Comando Sur en el teatro de operaciones, con excepción de las oficinas de espionaje e inteligencia. Se ubica y opera desde la Estación Naval "Roosevelt Roads", en Puerto Rico.

El SOCSOUTH, está compuesto por las siguientes unidades: "Compañía C", 3er Batallón, 7mo Grupo Fuerzas Especiales Aéreas; Unidad Especial Naval CUATRO, y "Compañía D", 160ta Regimiento Aéreo Especial. El SOCSOUTH, organiza mas de 200 operaciones especiales anuales en toda la región, que incluye las actividades y ejercicios que se realizan con los países de la región, como el CABAÑAS, UNITAS, etc. -

El Comando Sur de los Estados Unidos (SOUTHCOM) "U.S. Southern Command" El Comando protege los intereses de los Estados Unidos en su área de responsabilidad estableciendo e implementando planes, programas y políticas que contribuyen a la defensa de los EE.UU y sus aliados. El SOUTHCOM, es responsable de la planificación, coordinación y conducción de las acciones militares en Centro y Sur América, las islas del Caribe, y las aguas adyacentes del sur mexicano. De norte a sur comprende una distancia de 11.200 km (incluye la península Antártica), y de este a oeste más de 4.800 km. En dicha área existen 32 países. El SOUTHCOM se divide en 4 fuerzas principales: Ejército, Armada, Fuerza Aérea y Marines. La Oficina principal se encuentra en Miami, Florida, con una subsede en Puerto Rico (donde operaba en un principio). El Comando fue creado en 1947, con el fin de proteger los intereses de los Estados Unidos en la región. Aunque también se aclara que no es solo su único objetivo sino que pretende en toda América Latina: * Proteger las instituciones democráticas * Asistir a las naciones eliminando sus principales amenazas * Contribuir al continuo desarrollo social y económico * Colaborar para eliminar la producción de las drogas * Contribuir al adiestramiento militar profesional Lo que no queda en claro es si pretende aplicar dichos objetivos a las naciones americanas, o a su propia nación, aunque por los hechos, todos sabemos sus verdaderos objetivos. El SOUTHCOM, dice que sus objetivos son la eliminación de las drogas, contrainsurgencia, asistencia a las naciones, profesionalismo militar, e implementación de programas.

Sin embargo, si observamos nos daremos cuenta que: - Las drogas, son avaladas por Estados Unidos y son ellos quienes permiten en América Latina su circulación y en territorios como Colombia, se convierten en la excusa perfecta para intervenir militarmente, que aunque hace ya años que están dichas fuerzas, no han reducido considerablemente a las FARC ni la amenaza de la droga en los países latinos, como veremos a continuación. - La asistencia a las naciones y la contribución a su desarrollo social y económico es contradictorio, ya que es Estados Unidos es quien no permite avanzar a las naciones, implementando falsas deudas externas, y manejos políticos para desarmar y saquear la estructura de los Estados. Y aquella nación que consigue un importante avance económico o tecnológico, es amenazado con una intervención militar, con la excusa de "amenaza para la región", tal como pasa hoy día con Irán. En sí, la verdadera razón por la cual interviene Estados Unidos es la mencionada anteriormente y la que ellos mismos difunden: defender sus intereses y eliminar cualquier tipo de amenazas que ponga en riesgo su bienestar. Para este fin, el gobierno de los Estados Unidos invierte anualmente, más de 18 mil millones de dólares, que supuestamente son destinados a la lucha contra las drogas. En "Quarry Heights", Panamá, el Comando Sur, se ha establecido con una base, compuesta por las 4 fuerzas mencionadas antes (Ejército, Armada, Fuerza Aérea, Marines), donde cada fuerza posee una "pequeña" guarnición de hombres y aparatos, para desplazarse por la región. El número de personal militar en la base de Panamá es de 10.000 hombres y de 7.500 civiles, tres cuartos de ellos panameños. Unidades Ejército Sur EE.UU (US Army South) "USARSO" Representa al Ejército de Estados Unidos, y tiene a su cargo todas las operaciones del Ejército en un área de 19, 2 millones de kms cuadrados. Su base se encuentra en "Fort Sam Houston", Texas. Aunque antes operaba desde "Fort Buchanan", Puerto Rico. La base la componen 1800 hombres, y se calcula que ya han colaborado con la "USARSO", más de 100.000 hombres de la Guardia Nacional y de la Reserva del Ejército. La mayoría de las actividades realizadas hasta el momento han sido de ayuda humanitaria a diversos países de Centroamérica. El Ejército ha creado la "Escuela de las Americas", ubicada en Fort Benning, Georgia. Su misión es adiestrar, y entrenar a los latinos para que en un futuro sirvan al Ejército de los Estados Unidos. Unidades que lo componen: * 1-228th Aviation Battalion * 56th Signal Battalion Fuerzas Navales Comando Sur EE.UU (US Naval Forces Southern Command) "NAVYSOUTH" Se ubica en la base naval "Station Mayport", Florida. Es el componente naval del Comando Sur. Ha participado en diversas operaciones conjuntas como el ejercicio UNITAS, que se realiza anualmente con diversos países que conforman el Cono Sur. Unidades que la componen: * SURFGRU 2 * Destroyer Squadron 6 * Destroyer Squadron 14 Cuerpo de Marines EE.UU (US Marine Corps Forces, South ) "MARFORSOUTH" Constituido principalmente por la "2da Fuerza Expedicionaria de Marines" (IIMEF), que posee la capacidad de introducirse en un campo de batalla y combatir sin la ayuda externa de sus fuerzas armadas, por un período de 60 días. Posee un número de 47.000 marines a su disposición. El IIMEF, esta compuesto por: - II MEF "Command Element", contiene personal y equipo necesario para lo diversos planes y objetivos. - La 2da División de Marines, que cuenta con 20.000 hombres. - La 2da División Aérea de Marines, que cuenta con 400 aviones de combate. - La 2da Fuerza Grupo de Soporte, se compone de un grupo de desembarco, mantenimiento, y de otras unidades de apoyo. Marines en Rep. Dominicana, en plena luz del día y ante el paso de los pueblerinosUnidades que lo componen: * 2nd Marine Division * 2nd Force Service Support Group * 2nd Marine Air Wing * 2d MEB * 4th MEB * 22nd MEU * 24th MEU * 26th MEU * Air Contingency MAGTF (ACM) Fuerza Aérea del Comando Sur EE.UU (U.S. Southern Command Air Forces) "SOUTHAF" Twelfth Air Force La 12da Fuerza Aérea comprende y satisface las necesidades de la Fuerza Aérea del Comando Sur, que cuenta con 396 aeronaves de guerra, y más de 32.600 hombres, personal civil y militar. Cuenta además con un adicional de 17.700 hombres y 214 aeronaves de combate. Unidades que la componen: * 7th Bomb Wing * 28th Bomb Wing * 27th Fighter Wing * 49th Fighter Wing * 355th Wing * 366th Wing * 388th Fighter Wing * 1st Air Support Operations Group * 3rd Combat Communications Group * 612th Air Operations Group * 820th RED HORSE Gained Units * 301st Fighter Wing Además, el SOUTHCOM, posee organismos de inteligencia, que incluyen agentes de la CIA, conformado por alrededor de 250 y 300 interrogadores, que operan en la Base de Guantanamo, Cuba. Allí se produce una constante violación a los derechos humanos, ante el silencio de la prensa mundial. El SOUTHCOM, ha estado armando, entrenando y adoctrinando a los ejércitos nacionales para servir a los intereses de EE.UU bajo su liderazgo. La finalidad es evitar la utilización de tropas norteamericanas y de esta forma reducir la oposición política en los Estados Unidos.

"La formación y el entrenamiento militar internacional (IMET, en inglés International Military Education and Training) y su complemento el IMET Expandido proporcionan oportunidades de formación profesional para militares y candidatos civiles seleccionados cuidadosamente.

Ubicaciones de bases, divisiones y regiones del Comando Sur de los Estados Unidos El Comando se divide en cuatro regiones: Centroamérica, Caribe, Sistema Andino y Cono Sur.

Centroamérica: Desde el sur mexicano, hasta Panamá inclusive. Es la región con más presencia de tropas de las cuatro, y en donde Estados Unidos posee una fuerte y solidificada estructura, que le ha llevado varios años construir. Cuenta con cuatro bases militares ubicadas en: Soto Cano, Honduras; Panamá (base aérea y terrestre); Comalapa, El Salvador; Liberia, Costa Rica. Las bases en Panamá, fueron una de las primeras en establecerse, y en donde posee el total control de la nación, junto con el Canal de Panamá. Sirven además, para asegurar su presencia en la región, y apoyar a las fuerzas que se encuentran en Colombia, en el Sistema Andino. Centroamérica es rica en hidrocarburos, y además una especie de "apoyo" para poder controlar a los países del sur del continente. Aquí se entrenan a latinos, para servir a las fuerzas del Imperio, muchos de estos hombres fueron adiestrados y mandados a la guerra de Irak. Dijo el Comandante del Comando Sur en su informe del año 2005: "El retiro programado de nuestras Fuerzas en Irak nos permitirá conformar un grupo de países con pequeños ejércitos pero afines ideológicamente con los Estados Unidos. Tal fin implica la defensa de nuestros intereses estratégicos y comerciales en el Caribe, el Atlántico y el Pacífico hasta el Norte de Chile." Base Aérea Soto Cano: vista de la pista y alrededores de la baseUbicada a 80 kms al noroeste de Tegucigalpa, la capital hondureña. El Comando se encuentra en dicha base desde hace casi 20 años, y aunque siempre fue con carácter de establecerse momentáneamente, el año pasado se ha decido instalarse allí de forma permanente, y para ello se han construido diversas edificaciones, para mejorar el nivel de alojamiento de sus hombres. La base comprende unos 3,2 kms de ancho, por 9,6 de largo. Soto Cano, tiene una elevación de 2.062 pies sobre el nivel del mar. Operan allí, un Batallón aéreo y un Escuadrón: * 612th Air Base Squadron * 1st Battalion, 228th Aviation Regiment Mapa de Honduras, y la ubicación de la base militar yanquiComalapa, El Salvador: Otra base aérea, ubicada cerca del Océano Pacífico, y que junto con la base de Honduras sirven de apoyo en toda la región de Centoamérica. Mapa de El Salvador, y la base aérea de ComalapaLiberia, Costa Rica: Base terrestre, para el adiestramiento de soldados de dicho país, a lo igual que en Panamá. Para Costa Rica, el Comandante del SOUTHCOM dijo lo siguiente en su informe sobre la realidad política de América, que veremos mas adelante en varios países: "Le estamos dando bastante ayuda en entrenamiento a Costa Rica, a los efectos de dar forma a un ejército muy potable en lo ideológico. Armamento y logística están fuera de mi órbita, ya que tal decisión es exclusiva del señor Secretario, el Señor Presidente y en última instancia el Congreso."

Caribe: Comprende todas las islas del Mar Caribe, Aruba y Curazao y las Antillas Holandesas. Las fuerzas del SOUTHCOM, operan en diversos países, a lo igual que en la región anterior: Reina Beatriz, en la isla de Aruba; Hato, en la isla de Curazao; Vieques, Puerto Rico; y Guantánamo, Cuba. También existen bases en Jamaica, donde salen de allí vuelos de espionaje a Colombia y Venezuela. Son dos bases aéreas (R. Beatriz y Hato) que se ubican a pocos kilómetros de su límite con Venezuela. La base en Puerto Rico, no extraña, ya que desde hace décadas, ese país conforma una estrella más en la bandera estadounidense. En Cuba, en las propias narices de Fidel Castro, quien dice ser el primer antinorteamericano, se encuentra la base de Guantánamo, que se ocupa de interrogar a los prisioneros, juzgados como "terroristas", aunque jamás hubo juicio justo contra ellos, y se desconoce que sucede allí dentro, donde se violan los derechos humanos a montones y se procede de forma ilegal. Recordemos que el 40% del petróleo que consume Estados Unidos proviene de esta región.

Sistema Andino: Comprende los siguientes países: Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Bolivia, Perú De reciente consolidación y en proceso de seguir expandiéndose, con la colocación de mayor número de bases bases. El S. Andino y el Cono Sur, son regiones mucho más grandes que las dos anteriores, y con mayor cantidad de población, que dificulta la consolidación de estos territorios bajo el dominio imperialista. Aquí se encuentran grandes recursos de hidrocarburos y acuíferos. Existen nueve bases (reconocidas), y se sigue presionando a los gobiernos de dichos países para colocar otras, con la excusa de combatir las drogas y ayudar a las regiones más pobres y carenciadas de la zona. Ellas se encuentran en: Ecuador: Manta (base aérea) Perú: Iquitos, Santa Lucía, Nanay Colombia: Tres Esquinas (base aérea), Larandia, Puerto Leguizamó, Leticia Bolivia: Chaparé Ubicación de algunas de las bases yankis en territorio sudamericano, marcados de color rojoBase de Manta "Eloy Alfaro", Ecuador: Base de la Fuerza Aérea ecuatoriana, que en 1999 pasó a compartir con las Fuerzas Armadas de los Estados Unidos. Ubicada estratégicamente en la mitad del "Sistema Andino", es la base más grande de esta región. Ello fue posible gracias a un convenio firmado entre ambos gobiernos. Veremos a continuación los puntos más salientes del Convenio: "Ratificase el Acuerdo de Cooperación entre el Gobierno de la República del Ecuador y el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América, concerniente al acceso y uso de las instalaciones en la Base de la Fuerza Aérea Ecuatoriana en Manta para actividades aéreas antinarcóticos." "Para el único y exclusivo propósito de llevar adelante operaciones aéreas de detección, monitoreo, rastreo y control de actividades ilegales del tráfico aéreo de narcóticos." "Permitir al personal de los Estados Unidos, sus dependientes, y a las entidades COA, el acceso y uso de la base de las Fuerzas Aérea Ecuatoriana en Manta, así como al Puerto de Manta e instalaciones relacionadas con la Base o en su vecindad. Permitir a las aeronaves, navíos y vehículos operados por o para los Estados Unidos en relación con este Acuerdo el uso de la citada Base, así como los puertos y las instalaciones relacionados con la Base de la Fuerza Aérea Ecuatoriana en Manta o en su vecindad." Es decir, que las Fuerzas Armadas yanquis tienen el mismo privilegio que las ecuatorianas, en toda su extensión territorial, y no solo en Manta. Además, las tropas yanquis están exentas de todo tipo de impuestos de importación y exportación, por tanto sería como si estuviesen en suelo estadounidense. La base puede ser expandida, a voluntad de Estados Unidos, sin objeción alguna de Ecuador. Si llegase a producirse algún daño material o la destrucción de la base o muerte de personal, no se harán cargo, y no habrá derecho a reclamaciones por parte del gobierno ecuatoriano. Las intenciones inmediatas del aparato militar de EEUU, son las de seguir expropiando y desplazando a las comunidades manabitas aledañas a la Base, hasta extenderse en un área de 24 mil hectáreas, más o menos lo perdido en Vieques (Puerto Rico) y realizar entrenamiento militar antiterrorista. Muchas veces la población cercana se despierta temerosa ante el despliegue de soldados, helicópteros de guerra, sirenas de lanchas y buques armados, que dan fe de estos movimientos sincronizados de entrenamiento y esto no está contemplado para nada en el convenio, así como no estaba contemplado el uso de la base para el reclutamiento de mercenarios para ir a Irak, a través de una tercerizadora llamada Dyncorp que actuaba como proveedora de personal para la limpieza, pero que fue ya denunciada en el país por la muerte de cuatro niños, víctimas de las fumigaciones realizadas por esta empresa con Glifosato alterado para ser más mortífero, y por daños agrícolas en la zona fronteriza del Putumayo ecuatoriano. La estructura de la Base de Manta, con capacidad de controlar el espacio aéreo en un radio de 400 Km, está bajo la responsabilidad de la empresa DynCorp, acusada de vinculaciones con la CIA. La Base de Manta está equipada con grandes lanzadores E-3 Awacs, con cazas F-16 y F-15 Eagle, para el control de la región Amazónica, del Canal de Panamá y de América Central. Palabras del Comandante del Comando Sur: "Este país está razonablemente controlado. La zona de sembradíos de coca, así como los laboratorios clandestinos, han migrado hacia la Argentina, donde el consumo, la elaboración y la exportación de subproductos se ha incrementado en forma exponencial con el apoyo de los caciques políticos que están amasando fortunas colosales que luego derivan a Islas Cayman via Uruguay." Perú: Iquitos: desde allí controlan los principales ríos del Perú y del sur colombiano, así como también en Santa Lucía adiestrando a personal militar. Se han establecido en Nanay, en el sector amazónico peruano, para controlar sus aguas. Con la venida al poder de Alan Garcia, será cuestión de tiempo para que el país entre al ALCA, y que se produzca la instalación de nuevas bases y que sus Fuerzas Armadas reduzcan su potencial. Sobre Perú, el Comandante del Comando Sur dijo: "Dentro de lo que podría denominarse "Grupo de Países Andinos", el que considero más estable y con más actividad antiguerrillera es el Perú. Con guarniciones pequeñas a lo largo de sus fronteras, ha conseguido neutralizar algunos intentos de las FARC de establecer enclaves dentro de su territorio nacional, aún a costa de tener que arrasar poblados enteros como es el caso de Loreto." Colombia: Base Aérea Ernesto Esguerra Cubides Tres Esquinas, Caquetá: En Febrero de 2000, el Comando Sur se estableció en dicha base de las Fuerzas Armadas de Colombia. Ese mismo año se destinaron 12 millones de dólares, con el fin de instalar un radar capaz de controlar el espacio aéreo de la zona. Existen otras dos bases más en Caquetá, muy cercanas entre si: Larandia y Puerto Leguizamó, controlando el Putumayo colombiano, el río del sur de dicho país. Leticia, es otra de las bases, ubicada al extremo sur de Colombia, y que cuenta con radares potentes, para detectar todo lo que acontece en sus alrededores, y mas que nada en el Río Amazonas, junto con el radar instalado en Guaviare. Estos sitios son de gran interés para la lucha contra la guerrilla, y que además se han convertido en receptores permanentes de armamentos, logística y militares estadounidenses de estrategia, y de tropas de combate. Dentro del territorio colombiano, los marines e instructores yanquis ya se desplazan con absoluta normalidad, como pasa con los países de Centroamérica. Estados Unidos ya le ha dado, durante el año pasado más de 800 millones de dólares a Colombia para invertirlo en la defensa contra las FARC, aunque todo ese dinero debe invertirse en empresas estadounidenses. Con la reelección del presidente Uribe, el trato con Estados Unidos mejorará, y se espera que el mandatario reelegido promueva : invadir la zona del Amazonas (con la ayuda de EE.UU) para exterminar la guerrilla, y además pretende crear una "fuerza de paz americana", para intervenir militarmente Colombia, y disolver las fuerzas nacionales. Se puede decir que: El objetivo de "transnacionalizar" el Ejército colombiano, convirtiéndolo en un Ejército "cipayo" y desplegándolo por todo el país, está cumplido; no así el segundo, de acabar con la producción de plantas de coca, ni con el trafico internacional de narcóticos y mucho menos se ha cumplido con el objetivo de haber resuelto el histórico conflicto social y armado de Colombia, que viene desde hace muchísimos años.

Este es el reporte del SOUTHCOM: "Los territorios continúan divididos y nuestros instructores tienen problemas de entrenamiento, dada la escasa profesionalidad de los oficiales de bajo rango y la falta de una mística que, como combatientes, deberían tener para luchar contra un enemigo que efectivamente la tiene. El problema fundamental en este momento es que Venezuela proporciona a las FARC una logística sobresaliente, además de abundante alimentación y material sanitario. Los jefes del estado mayor conjunto de Colombia solicitan más ayuda en lo que respecta a poder de fuego. Los helicópteros sobrantes de Vietnam son anticuados. Del total de la donación norteamericana, más de la mitad han sido ya destruídos por réplicas de los Sidewinder en su versión tierra-aire fabricados en China, que entran a través de Venezuela en cantidades aún no determinadas. Estamos usando sus mismas tácticas : no tomar prisioneros. Esto los ha desorientado, porque años atrás se los trataba bajo el status de Prisioneros de Guerra. Hoy se los considera irrecuperables." Bolivia: Según el relato de los habitantes, hay movimientos de tropas de marines en Chaparé, donde se han establecido, causando consternación en los pobladores. Chaparé es otro punto fuerte, para poder controlar el Amazonas, y poder consolidarse en la región, que han denominado "Sistema Andino". "El dirigente del campesinado Evo Morales -marxista por convicción- viajó recientemente a la Argentina con pasaporte emitido por la embajada de ese país en La Paz. Permaneció dos días en Buenos Aires, donde se entrevistó con el Presidente Kirchner. Se desconoce lo conversado en Buenos Aires. Sin embargo, se han detectado transferencias de fondos desde Venezuela que tienen como destinatario final al señor Evo Morales, triangulándose el dinero desde diversas cuentas de Suiza, Luxemburgo, y el propio Banco Brigss de los Estados Unidos, donde el señor Morales, extrañamente, tiene una cuenta, convergiendo en dos Bancos de Rumania la suma de US$ 28,880,000, supuestamente para el pago clandestino de armas. El campesinado boliviano está siendo entrenado en el manejo de armas unipersonales por gente proveniente de la Argentina, y estos campesinos tienen una edad promedio de entre 20 y 30 años. Esa información es fidedigna, pues proviene de la Central de Inteligencia del Ejército. El Ejército boliviano como fuerza antiterrorista no es suficiente per se. Considero necesario que tengamos una acción ideológica más profunda frente a este país, donando material sin uniformes, calzado selvático de buena calidad y sobre todo una doctrina militar afín a nuestros intereses." Venezuela: Aunque en este país no opera el Comando Sur, si hay vuelos espías. Y para Estados Unidos es una gran amenaza, no solo por la excusa de las FARC, sino por sus recursos naturales. Por ello, el gobierno venezolano a decidido armarse, y este último año ha invertido más de 2.200 millones de dólares para la defensa. A continuación parte del informe, donde se habla de Venezuela: "Nuestros radares en la frontera con Colombia, Jamaica, Keywest -Cayo Hueso, Florida- y la isla de Granada muestran un incremento considerable de tránsito aéreo entre Cuba y Venezuela. Sugiero al Señor Jefe de Estado Mayor el aumento de las horas de vuelo de los Orión y de los Hawkeye estacionados en Jamaica para un control más efectivo de estos desplazamientos. Venezuela se ha convertido en el sitio de descanso y cura para las FARC. No existen ya fronteras entre ambos países."

Cono Sur: Comprende a Paraguay, Brasil, Argentina, Uruguay y Chile. Es la región menos desarrollada, pero con grandes avances, aún se está lejos de controlarla, y será el gran desafío para el Comando Sur durante ésta década. El objetivo es armar a las Fuerzas Armadas chilenas, que sirvan como aliado, ante un hipotético conflicto bélico. Lograr ubicar bases en Paraguay, y Uruguay, que pronto entrará al ALCA. Brasil, se ha mantenido al margen y ha desistido por ahora de permitir el ingreso de tropas extranjeras. Según el Comandante del Comando Sur, Brasil, sigue los pasos de Chile en cuanto a los planes a futuro, y avanzar como nación, con inversiones en diversos ámbitos. Uno de los mayores problemas es Argentina, que se niega a cooperar con Estados Unidos, aunque la presión de las grandes empresas y sus gobiernos corruptos y cipayos, podrán en un futuro cercano lograr sus objetivos, si es que antes, no se produce una revuelta civil, que su Ejército no pueda controlar, y desemboque en una temible guerra civil, donde Estados Unidos, aprovechará para intervenir, logrando así, su principal objetivo de apoderarse de los recursos de la región. La región "Cono Sur" tiene la capacidad de abastecer de agua a dos humanidades, las claves son el Amazonas, el Paraná, y los ríos de Santa Cruz. También tiene la capacidad de alimentar a gran parte de la población mundial, si es que sus tierras son utilizadas debidamente. No olvidar los recursos de pesca, y minerales, ni de los hidrocarburos y del hidrógeno, uno de los combustibles del mañana. Paraguay: Base Militar Dr. Luis María Argana Mariscal Estigarribia Longitud : 60° 37’ 18” W Latitud : 22° 2’ 42” S vista de la pista, una de las más grandes del continenteNombre de la unidad Regimiento de Infantería 6 "Boqueron" en la ciudad Mariscal Estigarribia del departamento de boquerón, al noreste de la ciudad de Asunción ubicada sobre la ruta transchaco a 250km del departamento de Tarija-Bolivia. Base aérea de las Fuerzas Armadas paraguayas construidas en los años 80, por los Estados Unidos. Puede albergar a más de 16.000 hombres. La base cuenta con un gran sistema de radar, un potente hangar y torre de control. La pista aérea es de mayores dimensiones que la del aeropuerto de Asunción. La población de Estigarribia es de 2.000 habitantes, de los cuales 300, pertenecen a la 6ta División de Infantería paraguaya, la cual opera en dicha base. Desde mayo de 2005, Paraguay cedió a Estados Unidos el uso de la base. Las dimensiones de la pista son de 3,8 kms de largo, y 0,8 kms de ancho, la más grande de toda Paraguay, y la de Aeroparque, en Argentina. Estados Unidos, ya tiene operando allí a varios batallones, que son más de 2.000 hombres. Ubicándose en Mariscal Estigarriba o en las afueras de Asunción, las fuerzas yanquis están a una hora y media de La Paz, una hora y media de San Pablo, dos horas de Santiago, una hora y media de Buenos Aires. La base elegida por Estados Unidos está justo ubicada en la mitad de la región "Cono Sur", a lo igual que han hecho con la base de Manta, justo en la mitad del "Sistema Andino". Nada es casualidad, todas las bases están ubicadas en lugares estratégicos, para en un futuro apoderarse de los recursos naturales, y defenderse ante el ataque de las fuerzas nacionales, si es que las dejan coexistir y no las eliminan antes, con gobiernos cipayos y corruptos.

Veamos que nos dice el Jefe del Comando Sur al respecto de Paraguay, quien mejor que contarnos que hacen las tropas yanquis, que su Comandante: "Su economía es desastrosa, pero con la ayuda de nuestro gobierno, ésta ha comenzado a estabilizarse. En el campesinado, hemos formado algunos campos de entrenamiento militar clandestino, gracias al monitoreo constante de satélite y algunas personas que el Ejército ha conseguido infiltrar. Paraguay es un país que se provee de medios económicos a través de un abundante contrabando de armas, cigarrillos, diamantes, electrónicos y textiles, que se dispersan a través de la zona denominada Triple Fronteras, donde el control de personas y mercaderías es mínimo. Allí convergen la Policía Paraguaya, la Policía federal Argentina, la Gendarmería Nacional Argentina y los Guardacostas de este país, la CIA, el FBI, la Central de Inteligencia del Estado Argentino -SIDE-, así como también la originaria del Ejército de Brasil. Como no hay cooperación entre ninguna de estas organizaciones, no tenemos la manera de encarar un control efectivo en la región. Las organizaciones terroristas cruzan desde y hacia la Argentina por vía acuática, ya que el río que separa ambos países en algunos puntos tiene solamente 200 metros de ancho. Hemos obtenido la aprobación del Gobierno y del Ejército, para instalar en el lugar idóneo, una brigada de blindados que tengan la capacidad de alcanzar -en menos de 12 horas- los objetivos neurálgicos de la Argentina, Bolivia y Ecuador, los cuales están explicitados en el Informe que obra en poder del Señor Secretario y el Señor Presidente y que se ha dado en clasificar como TOP SECRET. Ya tenemos -en Paraguay- dos compañías de Ingenieros especializados para montar las barracas y los alojamientos en el término de cuatro meses. Está pendiente el balizamiento nocturno de la pista de aterrizaje, pero la torre de control ya está equipada con sistemas de comunicaciones y radar de aproximación cercana. Nuestros expertos en camuflage han trabajado muy eficientemente con la abundante vegetación de Boquerón. Todos nuestros efectivos visten ropas de paisano (civil)." Ubicación de la base aérea en Paraguay, ahora parte de las Fuerzas Armadas de los Estados Unidos de NorteaméricaBrasil: No existen bases extranjeras en su territorio, y sus Fuerzas Armadas no están en proceso de desarme como el caso argentino, todo lo contrario. Sus gastos de defensa del último año han sido superiores a los 1.300 millones de dólares, aunque inferiores a los de Venezuela, han sido suficientes para renovar su material bélico. Esta es la opinión del Comando Sur: "Brasil ha completado la radarización de sus fronteras y aeropuertos domésticos en todo el interior. Informaciones confidenciales obtenidas del Jefe de la Fuerza Aérea cuenta del derribo de 25 aviones que se negaron a identificarse o aterrizar, comprobándose luego que transportaban armas y drogas, careciendo también de plan de vuelo, pero llevando tanques suplementarios de gasolina y teniendo como destino final el norte de las provincias argentinas de Jujuy, Salta y Santiago del Estero." Chile: Como ya se ha dicho, Chile es el mejor aliado de Estados Unidos, y se lo apoya con armamento, que es vendido a precio simbólico. Los últimos gastos en defensa han pasado los 2.700 millones de dólares, siendo el país que mas gastó en toda América Latina, y si tenemos en cuenta el tamaño geográfico de Chile, sus Fuerzas Armadas no solo están reemplazando material viejo por nuevos, sino que se están expandiendo para afrontar futuros conflictos bélicos. No olvidemos que Chile pierde territorio por la subida del nivel de los océanos y por el movimiento vertical de la Cordillera de los Andes. "Chile, nuestro mejor y más coherente aliado en el Sud del Continente. Los militares de las Fuerzas Armadas de Chile en su totalidad son gente afín a los Estados Unidos, sin duda alguna. El presupuesto para sueldos y renovación de equipos de las fuerzas armadas triplica al de la Argentina. Oficialmente no es así, pero el gobierno chileno extrae partidas de dinero extra de las asignadas a otros ministerios para destinarlas al reequipamiento militar. Quizás por las ambiciones territoriales de Chile con respecto a la Argentina, o por autoprotección contra el marxismo imperante en el vecino país, para el año 2007 Chile tendrá una Armada y una Fuerza Aérea con la más alta tecnología, que será su salvaguardia ante las pretensiones de un gigante inerme en lo militar. Quiero destacar la alta moral que existe en las Fuerzas Armadas Chilenas. Previendo un futuro de intervención por la expansión de doctrinas ajenas a nuestros intereses estratégicos, aconsejé a los chilenos que todos los accesos a la Argentina a través de la Cordillera de los Andes, sean capaces de soportar hasta 20 tonelada por eje. La Ministro chilena me informó que la Fuerza Aérea deseaba duplicar su compra de F-16 y, de ser posible, 25 Hércules 130 repotenciados que nosotros ya no utilizamos debido el alto nivel de ruido que producen sus motores durante el despegue." Argentina: En el año 2004, el Congreso firmó un Acuerdo donde se permitía la instalación de bases de monitoreo, con la excusa de la no proliferación nuclear. Argentina, tiene tecnología nuclear, pero jamás realizó una explosión atómica, ni siquiera tiene la bomba atómica y ha firmado tratados del uso pacífico de la energía nuclear. Esas bases son estaciones de "Vigilancia Internacional", bases espías, para monitorear el territorio argentino. Argentina a través del Congreso se comprometió a que no puede reclamar por destrucciones dentro de su territorio, ni saber que es lo que sucede en cada una de las bases, como así también el deber de cada ciudadano de aportar la ayuda que necesite cada miembro de dicha base que se lo exija. El acuerdo permanecerá en vigor hasta su pleno cumplimiento o hasta la entrada e vigor del Tratado de prohibición completa de los ensayos nucleares, de producirse ésta antes. La cantidad de bases es de ocho, se ubican en Salta, Río Negro, San Juan, Tierra del Fuego y Buenos Aires. Se desconoce si están en funcionamiento o no, pero hay que tenerlo en cuenta, por ello, he aquí sus nombres y ubicaciones: 1.

Debido a la muestra de orgullo y bravía en la Guerra de Malvinas, Argentina es un caso especial que es seguido de cerca por Estados Unidos. Por ello, desde el fin del conflicto hasta la actualidad, se han empeñado en vaciar el poder militar de la Nación, con una muy buena excusa, que tiene dividida al país: la última dictadura militar y la violación de los derechos humanos. Mientras los dirigentes argentinos sigan incentivando esta división, no habrá unidad nacional, que persiga un mismo objetivo, capaz de ofrecer un futuro mejor a sus habitantes. En los años noventa se comenzó a desarticular las Fuerzas Armadas, y por estos días, se está pasando por la mayor de las crisis. El objetivo es disolver la defensa de la Nación, como sucedió con los países de Medio Oriente, para poder ocupar de una forma poco sangrienta al territorio que se desea usurpar. No existen generales ni oficiales comprometidos a su Patria que tomen decisiones inteligentes, y si los hay son castigados o expulsados al emitir alguna crítica. Las tres fuerzas (aviación, ejército, armada), están comandadas por cipayos y traidores a la Patria, que desconocen de la realidad geopolítica y estratégica nacional. Resulta difícil comprender, como es que las autoridades de inteligencia del Estado (si es que todavía existen) permanecen inmóviles ante esta situación. Lo mismo sucede con el Ministerio de Defensa, que expresa que no existen hipótesis de conflicto con ningún país, olvidando tener a Gran Bretaña en frente de sus narices, en el mar austral con el cual comparte soberanía, y del otro lado de la Cordillera a unas fuerzas armadas con nivel tecnológico superior. E Pentágono planea crear el Plan Nacional de Radarización, como parte de un Sistema Internacional de Vigilancia. El cual ya está cumplido con la instalación de estas bases, y con la curiosa compra de radares (más de 11) provenientes de EEUU. Argentina fue el país que menos dinero gastó en defensa en toda América del Sur durante el período 2005/06. Tan solo 80 millones de dólares, y el mayor porcentaje del gasto fue producto de la adquisición de los radares a Estados Unidos. No renovó, ni adquirió más material.Gran cantidad de Unidades y Regimientos están abandonados. De no haber reacción, Argentina será incapaz de defenderse ante una Fuerza extranjera, y perderá su reducida independencia. Recientemente se ha reglamentado la "Ley de Defensa", que contribuye a que el Comando Sur se establezca en el país. La ley dispone que las FFAA no podrán ocuparse de los asuntos internos (referidas al “terrorismo”, el narcotráfico y al delito organizado). Es a lo que el Comando Sur denomina: "otras amenazas" y cuyo principal objetivo es eliminarlas. Por tanto, como en Argentina no hay otra fuerza capaz de disuadir estas "otras amenazas", no sería sorprendente que muy pronto el SOUTHCOM, se establezca en la Argentina, utilizando dichos "objetivos" como pretexto para introducirse en la región.

Reflexiones del Jefe del SOUTHCOM, a mediados de 2005: Dice: "En el vuelo me tomé el tiempo necesario para leer el frondoso dossier que mis ayudantes habían preparado con información detallada acerca del gobierno argentino y sus Fuerzas Armadas constantemente acosadas por asesinos remanentes de la guerrilla de la década de 1970, que hoy ocupan cargos en el Gobierno Federal y casi todas las provincias. Me resultó difícil comprender cómo la Argentina tenía como Canciller (Bielsa) a una persona que había asesinado con su propia mano y total frialdad a 18 personas; que un asesor del Presidente, el señor Horacio Verbitsky era el mandamás que daba las órdenes al primer mandatario desde las sombras, y que el en su momento Gobernador de la Provincia de Buenos Aires -Eduardo Duhalde- era el mayor traficante de drogas de Argentina.Después de los breves saludos y de notar breve expresión de desagrado por parte del Ministro, fuimos derivados a la planta correspondiente al Jefe del Estado Mayor del Ejército. Intercambiamos saludos -apenas los necesarios- y como no había tema de conversación, pedí a mis ayudantes que hicieran preparar el avión para irnos cuanto antes. Me pregunto cómo un analfabeto, que no habla correctamente ni su propio idioma, pudo llegar al rango que tiene," concluyó. En si no se dan detalles de las pretenciones de Estados Unidos en Argentina, como si se dio en los demás países anteriores. Tampoco se dan pautas ni planes a llevar a cabo, aunque si se ha creado una especie de “eje del mal”, compuesto por Argentina, Venezuela y Cuba, como graves amenazas, y se recomienda una intervención militar, con argumentos falsos y exagerados.

Conclusión: Estados Unidos y su política imperialista, se ha establecido en todo el continente. Solo los habitantes del mismo, podrán evitar que la situación empeore y se lleve a casos extremos. Son sus habitantes los que deben de exigir la toma de decisiones inmediatas a sus autoridades nacionales, de lo contrario, estarán agachando la cabeza ante una nueva y silenciosa esclavitud, y aceptándola, sin siquiera presentar una mínima resistencia. Es hora de dejar de lado las pequeñas diferencias que dividen a las naciones, y unirse, que los hechos del pasado no impidan el progreso para las generaciones futuras. Una América unida, puede en escaso tiempo, recuperar su soberanía e independencia, siempre y cuando sus gobernantes tengan, un verdadero compromiso con su pueblo. No es imposible, y menos aún si el compromiso por alcanzarlo es tomado con seriedad y voluntad, cada uno desde su lugar puede aportar un pequeño grano de arena, que junto a otros, se convertirán en millones.

Difunda el informe, que todos sepan la realidad de las naciones, y el interés del poder extranjero.[Se han eliminado los trozos de este mensaje que no contenían texto]

FEMA Concentration Camps:
Locations and Executive Orders

Friends of Liberty (undated) 3sep04
[ Below: U.S. Concentration Camps: FEMA and the REX 84 Program
- The Awakening News (undated) 3sep04]


http://www.mindfully.org: It may be easy to find fault with the premise of this article. You may even know of numerous sites that are not used as camps. But the plain fact remains that the USA maintains illegal prisons around the world. It remains a secret only to imbeciles in the US. The rest of the world knows for certain that it's quite real. The way things are going in the US, it's not a matter of if, but when these underused facilities come online to serve the master — otherwise known as Moloch. Most likely, not many Japanese in the US doubt the premise of this article. And for Jews in Europe during the Holocaust, the article must hit a hard note. So, what makes you think it can't happen here? The executive orders below are quite real. The camps exist. Do the math.Update. . .

31jan2006 - Halliburton subsidiary KBR Awarded $385 Million Contract to Build Detention Facilities in USAPARTIAL SOLUTION. . .Stop taking freedom for granted. Stop watching TV. Learn to ignore commercials and advertisements where ever encountered. Stop believing what you're told by the popular media and political representatives. Learn to think for yourself. Stop buying the products of this machine that has no scruples. Become more independent by ridding yourself of debt. Become as self-sufficient as possible. Use less power. Buy less stuff in general. Have more time to pay attention to your family and friends. Understand that the frills of the wealthy are generally not worth having in the first place. They take your time and attention away from things that really matter. Demand that your representatives take no corporate contributions. Electing the least-worst candidate is no longer an option. Pay more attention to what representatives actually say by reading between the lines, so to speak.

Republicans and Democrats are essentially the same. For instance, did you know that if elected, Barack Obama would shift troops from Iraq to places like Iran and other Mideast countries? Other candidates are about the same or worse. As president, Giuliani would be worse than Bush in pretty much all aspects. And that isn't easy because Bush is recognized as the worst president in U.S. history. Giuliani likes to cross dress, his father was a felon, and he associates closely with others who have no respect for decency. Under Giuliani we'd live under an even more repressive regime. Hillary Clinton, being the wife of Slick Willie would give us more of the same — NAFTA and more wars.

There over 800 prison camps in the United States, all fully operational and ready to receive prisoners. They are all staffed and even surrounded by full-time guards, but they are all empty. These camps are to be operated by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) should Martial Law need to be implemented in the United States and all it would take is a presidential signature on a proclamation and the attorney general's signature on a warrant to which a list of names is attached. Ask yourself if you really want to be on Ashcroft's list. The Rex 84 Program was established on the reasoning that if a "mass exodus" of illegal aliens crossed the Mexican/US border, they would be quickly rounded up and detained in detention centers by FEMA. Rex 84 allowed many military bases to be closed down and to be turned into prisons.

Operation Cable Splicer and Operation Garden Plot are the two sub programs which will be implemented once the Rex 84 program is initiated for its proper purpose. Garden Plot is the program to control the population. Cable Splicer is the program for an orderly takeover of the state and local governments by the federal government. FEMA is the executive arm of the coming police state and thus will head up all operations. The Presidential Executive Orders already listed on the Federal Register also are part of the legal framework for this operation.

The camps all have railroad facilities as well as roads leading to and from the detention facilities. Many also have an airport nearby. The majority of the camps can house a population of 20,000 prisoners. Currently, the largest of these facilities is just outside of Fairbanks, Alaska. The Alaskan facility is a massive mental health facility and can hold approximately 2 million people.

Now let's review the justification for any actions taken...
Executive Orders associated with FEMA that would suspend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. These Executive Orders have been on record for nearly 30 years and could be enacted by the stroke of a Presidential pen:...

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10990 allows the government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10995 allows the government to seize and control the communication media.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10997 allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels and minerals.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10998 allows the government to seize all means of transportation, including personal cars, trucks or vehicles of any kind and total control over all highways, seaports, and waterways.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10999 allows the government to take over all food resources and farms.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11000 allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11001 allows the government to take over all health, education and welfare functions.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11002 designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11003 allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11004 allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate communities, build new housing with public funds, designate areas to be abandoned, and establish new locations for populations.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11005 allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways and public storage facilities.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11051specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11310 grants authority to the Department of Justice to enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute industrial support, to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11049 assigns emergency preparedness function to federal departments and agencies, consolidating 21 operative Executive Orders issued over a fifteen year period.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11921 allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and distribution, of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit and the flow of money in U.S. financial institution in any undefined national emergency.

It also provides that when a state of emergency is declared by the President, Congress cannot review the action for six months. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has broad powers in every aspect of the nation. General Frank Salzedo, chief of FEMA's Civil Security Division stated in a 1983 conference that he saw FEMA's role as a "new frontier in the protection of individual and governmental leaders from assassination, and of civil and military installations from sabotage and/or attack, as well as prevention of dissident groups from gaining access to U.S. opinion, or a global audience in times of crisis." FEMA's powers were consolidated by President Carter to incorporate the...

National Security Act of 1947 allows for the strategic relocation of industries, services, government and other essential economic activities, and to rationalize the requirements for manpower, resources and production facilities.

1950 Defense Production Act gives the President sweeping powers over all aspects of the economy.

Act of August 29, 1916 authorizes the Secretary of the Army, in time of war, to take possession of any transportation system for transporting troops, material, or any other purpose related to the emergency.

International Emergency Economic Powers Act enables the President to seize the property of a foreign country or national. These powers were transferred to FEMA in a sweeping consolidation in 1979.

OTHER LOCATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES
There are many other locations not listed above that are worthy of consideration as a possible detention camp site, but due to space limitations and the time needed to verify, could not be included here. Virtually all military reservations, posts, bases, stations, & depots can be considered highly suspect (because it is "federal" land). Also fitting this category are "Regional Airports" and "International Airports" which also fall under federal jurisdiction and have limited-access areas. Mental hospitals, closed hospitals & nursing homes, closed military bases, wildlife refuges, state prisons, toxic waste dumps, hotels and other areas all have varying degrees of potential for being a detention camp area. The likelihood of a site being suspect increases with transportation access to the site, including airports/airstrips, railheads, navigable waterways & ports, interstate and US highways. Some facilities are "disguised" as industrial or commercial properties, camouflaged or even wholly contained inside large buildings (Indianapolis) or factories. Many inner-city buildings left vacant during the de-industrialization of America have been quietly acquired and held, sometimes retrofitted for their new uses.

CANADA
Our Canadian friends tell us that virtually all Canadian military bases, especially those north of the 50th Parallel, are all set up with concentration camps. Not even half of these can be listed, but here are a few sites with the massive land space to handle any population:
Suffield CFB - just north of Medicine Hat, less than 60 miles from the USA.
Primrose Lake Air Range - 70 miles northeast of Edmonton.
Wainwright CFB - halfway between Medicine Hat and Primrose Lake.
Ft. Nelson - Northernmost point on the BC Railway line.
Ft. McPherson - Very cold territory ~ NW Territories. Ft. Providence - Located on Great Slave Lake. Halifax - Nova Scotia. Dept. of National Defense reserve.... And others.

OVERSEAS LOCATIONS
Guayanabo, Puerto Rico - Federal prison camp facility. Capacity unknown.
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba - US Marine Corps Base - Presently home to 30,000 Mariel Cubans and 40,000 Albanians. Total capacity unknown.

U.S. Concentration Camps: FEMA and the REX 84 Program
The Awakening News (undated) 3sep04

There are over 600 prison camps in the United States, all fully operational and ready to receive prisoners. They are all staffed and even surrounded by full-time guards, but they are all empty. These camps are to be operated by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) should Martial Law need to be implemented in the United States.

The Rex 84 Program was established on the reasoning that if a mass exodus of illegal aliens crossed the Mexican/US border, they would be quickly rounded up and detained in detention centers by FEMA. Rex 84 allowed many military bases to be closed down and to be turned into prisons.

Operation Cable Splicer and Garden Plot are the two sub programs which will be implemented once the Rex 84 program is initiated for its proper purpose. Garden Plot is the program to control the population. Cable Splicer is the program for an orderly takeover of the state and local governments by the federal government. FEMA is the executive arm of the coming police state and thus will head up all operations. The Presidential Executive Orders already listed on the Federal Register also are part of the legal framework for this operation.

The camps all have railroad facilities as well as roads leading to and from the detention facilities. Many also have an airport nearby. The majority of the camps can house a population of 20,000 prisoners. Currently, the largest of these facilities is just outside of Fairbanks, Alaska. The Alaskan facility is a massive mental health facility and can hold approximately 2 million people.
A person named Terry Kings wrote an article on his discoveries of camps located in southern California. His findings are as follows: Over the last couple months several of us have investigated three soon-to-be prison camps in the Southern California area. We had heard about these sites and wanted to see them for ourselves.

The first one we observed was in Palmdale, California. It is not operating as a prison at the moment but is masquerading as part of a water facility. Now why would there be a facility of this nature out in the middle of nowhere with absolutely no prisoners? The fences that run for miles around this large facility all point inward, and there are large mounds of dirt and dry moat surrounding the central area so the inside area is not visible from the road. There are 3 large loading docks facing the entrance that can be observed from the road. What are these massive docks going to be loading?

We observed white vans patrolling the area and one came out and greeted us with a friendly wave and followed us until we had driven safely beyond the area. What would have happened had we decided to enter the open gate or ask questions?

This facility is across the street from the Palmdale Water Department. The area around the Water Department has fences pointing outward, to keep people out of this dangerous area so as not to drown. Yet, across the street, the fences all point inward. Why? To keep people in? What people? Who are going to be it’s occupants?

There are also signs posted every 50 feet stating: State of California Trespassing Loitering Forbidden By Law Section 555 California Penal Code.

The sign at the entrance says: Pearblossom Operations and Maintenance Subcenter Receiving Department, 34534 116th Street East. There is also a guard shack located at the entrance.
We didn’t venture into this facility, but did circle around it to see if there was anything else visible from the road. We saw miles of fences with the top points all directed inward. There is a railroad track that runs next to the perimeter of this fenced area. The loading docks are large enough to hold railroad cars.

I wonder what they are planning for this facility? They could easily fit 100,000 people in this area. And who would the occupants be?

Another site is located in Brand Park in Glendale. There are newly constructed fences (all outfitted with new wiring that point inward). The fences surround a dry reservoir. There are also new buildings situated in the area. We questioned the idea that there were four armed military personnel walking the park. Since when does a public park need armed guards?
A third site visited was in the San Fernando Valley, adjacent to the Water District. Again, the area around the actual Water District had fences logically pointing out (to keep people out of the dangerous area). And the rest of the adjacent area which went on for several miles was ringed with fences and barbed wire facing inward (to keep what or who in?) Also, interesting was the fact that the addition to the tops of the fences were fairly new as to not even contain any sign of rust on them. Within the grounds was a huge building that the guard said was a training range for policemen. There were newly constructed roads, new gray military looking buildings, and a landing strip. For what? Police cars were constantly patrolling the several mile perimeter of the area.

From the parking lot of the Odyssey Restaurant a better view could be taken of the area that was hidden from site from the highway. There was an area that contained about 100 black boxes that looked like railroad cars. We had heard that loads of railroad cars have been manufactured in Oregon outfitted with shackles. Would these be of that nature? From our position it was hard to determine.

In searching the Internet, I have discovered that there are about 600 of these prison sites around the country (and more literally popping up overnight do they work all night). They are manned, but yet do not contain prisoners. Why do they need all these non-operating prisons? What are they waiting for? We continuously hear that our current prisons are overcrowded and they are releasing prisoners because of this situation. But what about all these facilities? What are they really for? Why are there armed guards yet no one to protect themselves against? And what is going to be the kick-off point to put these facilities into operation?

What would bring about a situation that would call into effect the need for these new prison facilities? A man-made or natural catastrophe? An earthquake, panic due to Y2K, a massive poisoning, a panic of such dimensions to cause nationwide panic?

Once a major disaster occurs (whether it is a real event or manufactured event does not matter) Martial Law is hurriedly put in place and we are all in the hands of the government agencies (FEMA) who thus portray themselves as our protectors. Yet what happens when we question those in authority and how they are taking away all of our freedoms? Will we be the ones detained in these camp sites? And who are they going to round up? Those with guns? Those who ask questions? Those that want to know what’s really going on? Does that include any of us? The seekers of truth?

When first coming across this information I was in a state of total denial. How could this be? I believed our country was free, and always felt a sense of comfort in knowing that as long as we didn’t hurt others in observing our freedom we were left to ourselves. Ideally we treated everyone with respect and honored their uniqueness and hoped that others did likewise.
It took an intensive year of searching into the hidden politics to discover that we are as free as we believe we are. If we are in denial, we don’t see the signs that are staring at us, but keep our minds turned off and busy with all the mundane affairs of daily life.

We just don’t care enough to find out the real truth, and settle for the hand-fed stories that come our way over the major media sources television, radio, newspaper, and magazines. But it’s too late to turn back to the days of blindfolds and hiding our heads in the sand because the reality is becoming very clear. The time is fast approaching when we will be the ones asking "What happened to our freedom? To our free speech? To our right to protect ourselves and our family? To think as an individual? To express ourselves in whatever way we wish?"

Once we challenge that freedom we find out how free we really are. How many are willing to take up that challenge? Very few indeed, otherwise we wouldn’t find ourselves in the situation that we are in at the present time. We wouldn’t have let things progress and get out of the hands of the public and into the hands of those that seek to keep us under their control no matter what it takes, and that includes the use of force and detainment for those that ask the wrong questions.

Will asking questions be outlawed next? Several instances have recently been reported where those that were asking questions that came too near the untold truth (the cover up) were removed from the press conferences and from the public’s ear. Also, those that wanted to speak to the press were detained and either imprisoned, locked in a psychiatric hospital, slaughtered (through make-believe suicides) or discredited.

Why are we all in denial over these possibilities? Didn’t we hear about prison camps in Germany, and even in the United States during World War II? Japanese individuals were rounded up and placed in determent camps during the duration of the War. Where was their freedom?

You don’t think it could happen to you? Obviously those rounded up and killed didn’t think it could happen to them either. How could decent people have witnessed such atrocities and still said nothing? Are we going to do the same here as they cart off one by one those individuals who are taking a stand for the rights of the citizens as they expose the truth happening behind the scenes? Are we all going to sit there and wonder what happened to this country of ours? Where did we go wrong? How could we let it happen?

What We Still Don't Know About That Minot Nuke Incident

February 25, 2008
What We Still Don't Know

About That Minot Nuke Incident
General Welch's Whitewash
By DAVE LINDORFF
A new report on the 30 August 2007 incident in which six nuclear-armed advanced cruise missiles were effectively "lost" for 36 hours, during which time they were, against all regulations, flown in launch position mounted on a pylon on the wing of a B-52H Stratofortress, from Minot AFB in North Dakota across the continental US to Barksdale AFB in Louisiana, has left unanswered some critical questions about the event.
Directed by retired Air Force Gen. Larry D. Welch, the task force's Report on the Unauthorized Movement of Nuclear Weapons found plenty wrong with the way the US military handles its nuclear weapons, but appears to have dealt lightly with the specific incident that sparked the inquiry-only giving it a few paragraphs.
According to the report, when nuclear-capable missiles are placed onto a pylon assembly (in the case of the B-52, these pylons can hold six missiles), procedures call for a clear distinction to be made as to whether they are armed with nuclear weapons or with dud warheads. In the storage bunker, pylons with dud warheads are supposed to be encircled with orange cones like those used by highway repair crews, and placards announcing that the warheads are duds are supposed to be hung on all four sides. This reportedly was not done, leaving no distinction between one pylon containing six nuclear-armed missiles, and two others that had missiles carrying nukes.
A second failure was in record keeping. According to regulations for handling nuclear weapons, every step in moving a nuke requires written verification and manual checking. When the weapons were taken from storage racks and installed on the missiles, there should have been written records, including the serial numbers of each warhead. When a breakout crew moved the nuclear-armed missiles on the pylon and passed it to a convoy crew for removal from the storage bunker to the airfield for mounting on the plane, there was supposed to be a visual verification of the warheads by the convoy crew, and another written record of the transfer of ownership. When the convoy crew handed over the pylon to the crew chief for mounting on the plane, there was supposed to be another warhead verification check by the crew chief and another written record. Finally, the aircrew was required to verify the payload, warhead by warhead.
Reportedly, none of these steps were taken. In other words, there was a failure to check the payloads of the missiles not just once but at every step of the way-an astounding breakdown in controls and procedures, which at a minimum suggests that the US nuclear arsenal is as vulnerable to theft, extortion and nefarious misuse as those in the former Soviet Union or in Pakistan-not a pleasant thought.
A third failure, more systemic, which was identified in this latest report, was a general decline-even a breakdown-in the decades-long tradition of high standards and professionalism in the US nuclear force itself. The Strategic Air Command, which oversaw all nuclear equipment, has been eliminated, and command and control of nuclear weapons have been integrated into the regular forces, right down to the storage of nuclear devices themselves, which are now routinely kept together with conventional warheads-a recipe for disaster not just because of the kind of confusion that allegedly led to the Aug. 30 incident, but also because of the possibility of accidents in which a non-nuclear device could detonate, scattering nuclear debris. Furthermore, the report documents that the nuclear force, once a prime career choice for advancement-minded military professionals, has become a dumping ground for mediocrity-a place where military personnel go to be forgotten. Pilots of B-52s, for example, no longer even get nuclear certified-so unlikely is it that they will be called upon to fly nuclear missions, the report states.
The report is a catalog of failure and ineptitude, and should lead to a complete overhaul. But it is also failure itself.
This is because as disastrous as the picture it paints of America's nuclear forces and handling procedures may be, the report also ignores the big questions that remain about the recent incident which led to the Welch investigation in the first place. Primary among these questions is why, if all the various teams that handled the six nuclear-tipped Advanced Cruise Missiles up at Minot, from the guards and handlers in the storage bunker to the pilots, failed to note that the warheads on the missiles were nukes, was the ground crew that went out onto the tarmac to service the plane after it landed at Barksdale able to spot them and identify them as nukes almost immediately upon arriving at the plane?
After all, the personnel at Minot knew they were handling weapons in a bunker, and coming from a bunker, that stored nuclear weapons, and so should have been on alert to the possibility. The crew at Barksdale, however, had absolutely no reason to expect nuclear weapons. Not only was the delivery of these cruise missiles to Barksdale part of a long, on-going routine process of ferrying the obsolete weapons in for decommissioning and destruction. In addition, for the last 40 years, it has been against military rules to fly nuclear weapons over domestic airspace except in specially outfitted military cargo planes. That is to say, prior to this incident no B-52 or other bomber has carried a nuclear weapon in launch position over US territory since 1967!
Given that history, one has to assume that the warheads on those six missiles on the pylon must have been literally screaming out that they were nukes, for the ground crew to have noticed.
Surely Gen. Welch and his colleagues should have addressed the question of why those Barksdale workers were so easily able to spot the "mistake" while, allegedly, no one in the chain of possession of the weapons at Minot managed to do it.
The position of the report was clearly, from the start, that this whole thing was a mistake. That is to say, it's conclusion was foreordained. But we should know from the incredible, bald-faced lie about the reason for shooting down a spy satellite last week-that it posed an environmental and health threat because of a relatively small 1000 lb. fuel tank containing toxic hydrazine fuel that allegedly could make it to earth and then pose a health threat-that Pentagon explanations are often dishonest, or deliberately confusing. (Hyrdazine is no more dangerous than many toxic chemicals, and for someone to seriously be put at risk, he or she would have to walk up to the smoking tank after it hit earth, and hang around the noxious vapours breathing them in for some time-something few people would be likely to do. Moreover, the probability of an explosive fuel tank making it through searing re-entry to ground without bursting and releasing the material harmlessly in the upper atmosphere was always negligeable. The explanation for the $60-million missile shot was clearly a cover-up of a Pentagon scheme to test its space-warfare capability without having to admit what it was doing.)
Could the Minot nuke incident have been something other than a mistake?
A careful reading of the Welch report-both what it says and what it fails to say-has to leave that question unanswered.
Recall that back in August and September, the Bush/Cheney administration was, as it is now, ratcheting up the talk about an attack on Iran over its nuclear activities and over its alleged support for insurgent attacks on American troops in Iraq. While the military top brass, as well as the secretary of defense are known, for the most part, to oppose such plans, there certainly are some, particularly within the Air Force, who have a higher opinion of the effectiveness of airpower,
Recall too that in the weeks and days prior to and immediately following the Aug. 30 Minot nuke incident, no fewer than six airmen associated with Minot, Barksdale and the B-52 fleet died either in vehicle accidents or alleged suicides. One of the two suicides involved a Minot airman whose job was guarding the base's nuclear weapons storage facilities. The Welch report doesn't even mention this strange cluster of deaths--none of which has even been investigated by the military, according to local police and medical examiners contacted.
Could someone at the top level of government-perhaps the Vice President, who is particularly belligerent towards Iran-have attempted to set up an alternative chain of command to "spring" a few unaccounted for nukes for use in some kind of "false flag" or rogue operation that, were it to succeed, could set a war against Iran in motion? Barksdale AFB, it should be noted, bills itself as the main staging base for B-52s being sent overseas for Middle East duty.
The way the Aug. 30 incident came to light, which was thanks to Air Force whistleblowers who contacted a reporter at the Military Times newspaper publishing office-makes such an idea seem at least plausible. Clearly, some uniformed personnel were so upset at what happened that they were willing to risk their military careers to go outside of the chain of command and alert the public in the only way they knew how. Clearly too, they were so distrustful of their superiors, right on up to the office of the Secretary of Defense, that they did not consider taking their information to anyone within the Pentagon.
Maybe it's asking too much to expect a retired general, tasked to investigate this incident by the Secretary of Defense who himself was appointed by the White House, to look into such a theory, which after all if true would represent an act of treason. And yet, the failure of this report to at least explore the idea makes it into something of a cover-up.
The obvious answer here is that Congress should be holding public hearings into the incident, and asking these tough questions. Incredibly, this has not happened. The Democratic-led Congress, here as in virtually every issue that has come before it (with the exception of steroids in professional sports!), has ducked its responsibility. In this case Congress has been content to let Air Force officials, behind closed doors, offer them information about the incident-which is a far cry from holding hearings where the officers would be grilled under oath about what they know.
Given this gutless and irresponsible behavior by legislators who, I am sure, would be holding high-profile hearings had the same kind of incident occurred in Russia, China, or Pakistan, we are left having to hope that someone with real knowledge of what happened at Minot will come forward and tell the story to a reporter.
For the record, I'm ready and waiting, pen in hand
