Middle America's Worldview

While it is true, FEMA has broken up United States into 10 regions, some are questioning why the United Nations troops are on our soil.


FEMA is the Federal Emergency Management Agency. It originated by two Executive orders on April 1, 1979. The initial primary purpose was to coordinate the response to a disaster occurring within the United States that is overwhelming the resources of the local and state authorities.


The two Executive orders were signed into being by President Jimmy Carter. Executive order 12127 in short broke FEMA out into its own department, from the Reorganization Plan No 3. Executive order 12148, also implemented by President Carter, combined server federal agencies tasked with the emergency preparedness to the newly created department of FEMA (created by executive order 12127). Interesting the new divisional department was not made by Congress, rather by one simple Presidential Executive Order, and empowered by the other Executive Order.


Fast-forward to 2002, after the September 11, 2001 attack, Congress passed the Homeland Security Act of 2002. This ACT created the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The idea was to have one department in order to better coordinate the many differing federal agencies dealing with law enforcement, disaster preparedness, border protection and civil defense.


On March 1, 2003 FEMA was absorbed into DHS. On March 31, 2007, remaining in DHS FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) regained its stature and departmental name. In 2007 FEMA started administering the Center for Domestic Preparedness. The Center for Domestic Preparedness provides comprehensive training programs to the nation’s emergency response providers. Education includes knowledge of prevention from chemical, biological, explosive, radiological, or other hazardous materials.


To help facilitate effective management, FEMA has broken the United States up to 10 regions, each containing a dedicated headquarters. These headquarters contain Mobile Emergency Response Support (MERS).


“These teams provide communications support to local public safety. For instance, they may operate a truck with satellite uplink, computers, telephone and power generation at a staging area near a disaster so that the responders can communicate with the outside world. There are also Mobile Air Transportable Telecommunications System (MATTS) assets which can be airlifted in. Also portable cellphone towers can be erected to allow local responders to access telephone systems."


One of the more conspiratorial aspects is the FEMA camps. Or as some refer them as FEMA concentration camps. During Katrina, martial law was applied, with the authority to shoot looters. The martial law was ordered by Mayor Ray Nagin on August 31, 2011. Many were forced evacuation into the Super Dome, where reports of inadequate supplies and chaos occurred. This may be the reason for the FEMA camps, in order to have a known location for evacuation for disasters. Possible locations are being reviewed. However, the term disaster is broad and the definition can be determined many ways.


“The term disaster has been applied in U.S. law in a broad sense to mean both human-made and natural catastrophes. Human-made catastrophes include civil disturbances such as riots and demonstrations; warfare-related upheavals, including those created by guerrilla activity and Terrorism; refugee crises involving the forced movements of people across borders; and many possible accidents, including transportation, mining, Pollution, chemical, and nuclear incidents. Emphasis mine.


With the United States having 14.7% out of work, peace protests on the rise, it’s not long before a possible civil disobedience case can be created.


Fast forward to September 19, 2013; more reports of United Nation troops are in United States training, yet denied by Congress.


Why would we have United Nations troops on our soil? Many believe our own military would not force or fire upon their own Country’s citizens. This issue would not be the case for foreign military personnel.
