Homeland Security Contracts KBR to Build Detention Centers in the US

>>>>>>>>> Homeland Security plan titled ENDGAME <<<<<<<<<<<

Halliburton’s subsidiary KBR (formerly Kellogg, Brown and Root) announced on

January 24, 2006 that it had been awarded a $385 million contingency contract by
the Department of Homeland Security to build detention camps in the United States.

---> Jamie Zuieback, spokeswoman for ICE

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Detention and Removal Operations (DRO)
Program facilities

---> <<Rex-84>> “readiness exercise”, which contemplated the Federal Emergency

Management Agency rounding up and detaining 400,000 “refugees” in the event of
“uncontrolled population move- ments”

---> 2002 Attorney General John Ashcroft announced his desire to see camps for
U.S. citizens deemed to be “enemy combatants”.

---> On February 17, 2006, in a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations,

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld spoke of the harm being done to the country’s
security, not just by the enemy, but also by what he called “news informers” who
needed to be combated in “a contest of wills.”

---> Continuity of Government (COG) proposals — a classified plan for keeping a

secret “government-within-the-government” running during and after a nuclear
disaster —
included vastly expanded detention capabilities, warrantless eavesdropping, and
preparations for greater use of martial law.

---> Defense Department “Strategy for Homeland Defense and Civil Support,”
Sets out a military strategy against terrorism that envisions an “active, layered
defense” both inside and outside U.S. territory. In the document, the Pentagon
pledges to “transform U.S. military forces to execute homeland defense missions in
the . . . U.S. homeland.”

---> Counterintelligence Field Activity’s TALON program

---> A form of martial law already exists in the U.S. and has been in place since
shortly after the September 11 attacks when Bush issued Military Order Number One,
which empowered him to detain any noncitizen as an international terrorist or
enemy combatant.
Today that order extends to U.S. citizens as well.

---> The contract of the Halliburton subsidiary KBR (formerly Kellogg, Brown and
Root --- Seated in Bremen/ Germany) to build immigrant detention facilities is
part of a longer-term
HOMELAMD SECURITY PLAN titled ENDGAME,
which sets as its goal the removal of “all removable aliens” and “potential
terrorists.”

---> According to a press release posted on the Halliburton website:

“The contract, which is effective immediately, provides for establishing temporary
detention and processing capabilities to augment existing Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) Detention and Removal Operations (DRO) Program facilities in the
event of an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S., or to support the rapid
development of new programs. The contingency support contract provides for
planning and, if required, initiation of specific engineering, construction and
logistics support tasks to establish, operate and maintain one or more expansion
facilities.”

---> Clearly September 11 would meet this definition, and did, for COG was
instituted on that day.

As the Washington Post later explained, the order “dispatched a shadow government
of about 100 senior civilian managers to live and work secretly outside
Washington, activating for the first time long-standing plans.”

What these managers in this shadow government worked on has never been reported.

But it is significant that the group that prepared ENDGAME was, as the Homeland
Security document puts it, “CHARTERED IN SEPTEMBER 2001”.
