You Think!

Editor's note:
Among conspiracy buffs, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has become the "grassy knoll" of political intrigue. FEMA is in charge of the nation's "Continuity of Government" plans-in other words, making sure everyone has enough paper clips and government forms after a major national disaster such as nuclear war.

Although speaking about this "Doomsday group" in mixed company may result in many Americans putting you in the same catagory as opponents to water flouridation, FEMA is no fairy tale.

If a president ever decides that he or she must suspend the constitution (which they can by fiat for reasons as vague as "a breakdown of civilian law enforcement," in case you've been sleeping for fifteen years...), FEMA wil BE the government during the ensuing period of martial law.

What follows is one progressive Madisonian's encounter with one of the "FEMA conspiracy" theories from the right (see this summer's Mondo 2000 magazine for a similar theory from the left). Although the story may seem as wildly improbable as Elvis delivering pizzas in Zürich, if it's even partly true...

Addendum, 1996:
As it turns out, the group that came up with the materials our reporter based this somewhat fictionalized story on was involved in at least some manner (if only philosophically) with the group responsible for the bombing of the Federal building in Oklahoma City.

This lends new meaning to the piece, as it will allow you to see inside the paradigm of paranoia that these groups live in. We've encountered quite a number of similar groups that all hold the same basic mythos to be true: That the United States is being taken over and controlled by evil Trilateralists from the UN. Although it may seem like simply a new rendition of the age-old Bircher mantra, the bombing in OK should make us all realize that these people have a level of desperation and determination that makes them quite different.

Madison - People walk up and hand me the strangest shit sometimes. Like the other day I was walking down State Street and these pages off of someone's Internet hook-up jump me, rob me, and then took me to a bar I never drank at before. But it had Funkadelic on the jukebox, and the Internet pages, smartly dressed as a redhead in a grey trenchcoat and black sunglasses, were good company. It said:

"Good evening. We're brought together here for an opportunity to discuss the direction that this nation is moving towards. My name is Mark. I'm from Michigan. And we'll be covering all aspects-everything that we possibly can concerning 'New World Order' operations inside the United States. We'll be discussing the Multi-Jurisdictional Task Force (MJTF) Police, FINCEN (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network), the United Nations combat forces now inside the United States, and the conversion of the United States into an asset for the United Nations.

We'll start with the MJTF police and where it came from,what its original mission was,and what its mission is now. Through a series of political actions that started out in approximately March 1989, the federal government extorted resources from all 50 states simultaneously, within a two-week period, passing laws in every state, authorizing the use of federal funding to convert local and state forces into national police forces.

The MJTF Police is in virtually every state of the United States now. Its primary mission is house to house search and seizure,the separation and categorization of men, women and children in large numbers, the transfer of those citizens to detention facilities, and the use of those facilities for interrogation purposes. The MJTF are regular National Guard, local law enforcement and street gangs, all converted to national police services. Remember that this was originally oraganized under President George Herbert Walker Bush...

...We all know, of course, that President Clinton has proposed a "National Police Force". This is simply another name,an overt name for the MJTF Police.

Remember Desert Dust? I'm sorry,you look confused, I meant to say Desert Storm. Well, of all its missions, one of them was to see if the American people would eat the New World Order. (I too was getting hungry.)

We talked on,or it rather, about the dangers facing the American people, dropping cute little obscure facts that only a military intellegence analyst would know, presumably. At one point in our dialogue I noticed that my glass was empty and it hadn't bought me a fuckin' thing to drink in almost a half hour. I hate it when people don't fill my glass and I have to exasperate till I get one. Finally, my throat parched, I said, "wait a minute, who the fuck are you to conjur all this 1984 type shit on me. You're trying to put the Hoo Doo on me ain't cha, trying to give ol' R.Z. nightmares."

"I'm a transcript of the video AMERICA IN PERIL, wherin military intellegence analyst Mark Koernke deliniates the forthcoming New World coup'd'etat against our constitutional government and the dictatorship that they will install to subjugate us. Do you mind?

"The amount of force facing the American people right now is approximately equivalent to several heavy infantry divisions with a couple of mixed mechanized divisions combined. We're looking at a little over three hundred personnel that we can verify, or that we can at least identify in different parts of the country. These forces include FINCEN elements through Montana, northern and southern California, central Texas, the northern part of North Carolina, Fort Drum New York, Fort McCoy Wisconsin, and elements that are now stationed around the capital of the United States in Washington, D.C. There are five FINCEN units deployed there.

I will mention this: that we have put a great deal of heat on these people since we've begun to identify them. And I will ask you something. How many people have seen a news clip every night when you watch the mass media. Somebody takes one of those nice ski masks and puts it over their head, and busts into somebody's home. "SIXTY MINUTES" did a little piece on this just the other night. But who is under the ski mask? If they are wearing ski masks, how do you know who these people are? How do you even know who law enforcement agents are. Anyone can wear a uniform...

(At this I paused, noticing many a backwoods neanderthal currently wears a badge in the Madison Police Department. So true indeed).

...and a ski mask hides their identity, especially when nobody says anything. And even if they do, how could most people be sure? A ski mask does for a person at 3 o'clock in the morning what the KGB did at 12 midnight. (he then knocked three times on the table, causing the bartender to cast us an expectant glance.)

It is called terror. And the fact that we would allow that to happen in the United States is a disgrace to our country, and it is a disgrace to our constitution.

Then he burped. "Bartender another round for my friend here," finally. He then leaned across the table towards me. I inched my face closer. I didn't even know I was doing it. He said: I'll tell you one thing right now. When I was in the military we were trained to shoot people with ski masks on. We called them "terrorists"-"bank robbers"-you know "criminals". Except now, in this case, they're hired by the United States government. It is very important to understand this.

(I was still quite lucid, not having drank what I thought was the proper amount she should have bought for me, but I continued to feign interest. Se, or Koernke, whoever, started babbling about "crisis management" and shit).

They have, progressively, through gradualism, gotten everybody into this mindset that this is an acceptable situation. It is not! (slams his fist to table) It cannot be allowed to continue. If these forces are on the up and up, why not bring them into the light. Why conceal their activities if they are doing something that's supposed to be good for the nation. Why shroud them in darkness? Why shroud them in chaos. On the other hand, maybe they want a little chaos. Remember "crisis management"? Current New World Order architect and Nixon's Secretary of State Henry Kissinger brought this up first. "Crisis management is a good thing." We're hearing that in the news constantly, aren't we? "Crisis Management" and "Crisis in Russia", "Crisis in Rwanda", "Crisis Overseas", "Crisis in New York", "We had a bombing, oh my goodness!"

With something like this, of course, this is antithesis synthesis. They create the problem. They demonstrate the answer. And they execute the solution. But they created all three.

By the way, their processing center for detainees in the western half of the United States in Oklahoma City. We suspect Ft. Drum will be the control point for processing individuals to detention facilities in the eastern half of the United States. If their are any problems, what I would recommend, for a lot of people who are concerned about this, is that we observe the air, not the ground. However, I will say this. In Cleveland we have friends and patriots who have photographed United States armor being transported by rail from the east to west. Many of these people have worked as intellegence analysts and as counter-intelligence agents. They are experienced in observation, and know what they are doing. Because of this I can rely on their first hand information.

Most of the time, though, you're seeing FINCEN forces utilizing rotary-wing aircraft assets. Back in the early part of 1990 approximately 3000 rotary wing aircraft were withdrawn from our strategic reserve. These are not from the reserve or national guard. These came from the mothball fleet. Upon implementing this force, these units were transferred to FINCEN and painted in black-not flat green or camouflage green. These aircraft are flat black. They bear no markings or identification to determine whether they are American or foreign national. And the fact of the matter is, they are now foreign national assets, no longer in the hands of the United States Air Force. We do supply them and support them with your tax dollars, but we do not control them completely now.

FINCEN forces, utilizing these rotary wing assets, have both heavy lift aircraft and conventional attack aircraft. The heavy lift aircraft are the Chinook CH-47.

(You're gonna start droppin' names I don't want to hear, aren't you! Say it. Get it over with! Ollie N...)

All you need to do is start to look and to wheedle your way into the FEMA mechanism.

(I don't know what a "wheedle" is).

You call yourself a journalist! (He laughed at me, tired like, as if I was some disobedient child she was near giving up on.) He continued after chugging his eighth long island.

There's that evil word, FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency). Now this has been discussed before. FEMA is not Federal Emergency Management Agency. FEMA is the secret government, legally. It is funded, maintained and supported with monetary expenditures designated through the Department of Defense and also through the normal budgeting that is taking place every year within our government.

FEMA has approximately 3600 employees. And yet, of those, only about 59 to 63 actually deal with emergency management, such as storms, disasters, hurricanes,or man-made catastrophes.

(Like the Monona Terrace?)

NO NOT THE FUCKIN'TERRACE/CONVENTION CENTER! Like a nuclear attack. If only only about 60 of them are doing this, What do the other 3600 do? Well, their mission is to manage the system after they have taken it over.

They utilize the "black budget" or "black bag" funding. Black bag funding are covert operation funds that can not be challenged by public agencies or entities. They have been doing this for 13 years. FEMA was originally created by Zbigniew Brzrezinski, who was National Security Advisor under trilateralist Jimmy Carter. However, after President Ronald Reagan came to power, Zbigniew stayed over to complete the operations and the deployment of FEMA.

The issue,"guns-drugs-drugs-guns" came about apporoximately four years ago. The objective behind that was to create a situation that these people could use. Before that it was internal domestic catastrophe. Originally, I participated in a program that set up a series of actions which allowed for us, for instance, to surrender fifty percent of Florida. We weren't going to stop the Russians until they got to Orlando. We used to jokingly call it "The Disneyline". And we weren't going to make any attempt to get it back either.

There's an interesting book out that I think you should read. Check it out. Back on March 27, "journalist" Ambrose Evans-Pritchard published a lengthy report on the book, written by Terry Reed and John Cummings in the Sunday Telegraph of London. The book is an eyewitness account of the mid-eighties CIA-and White House clandestine gun-running operations on behalf of the Nicaraguan contras in Arkansas and later in Mexico. It was trumpted up as "damning new evidence" of corruption by Bill Clinton, who was governor of Arkansas at the time of the secret prgram. The book is titled, "Compromised: Clinton, Bush, and the CIA".

In contrast to a dozen previous instances, Evans-Pritchard's story on the Reed-Cummings book was not immediately jumped on by the likes of Bob Dole, Al D'Amato, and Jim Leach. Normally they would have jumped through hoops to attack Clinton. Hell, normally they'd be lining up to eat a mile of Clinton's shit if they thought it would bring them within kicking distance of his asshole. This time no one in the lapdog media corps picked up on the Telegraph's lead -- and for good reason.

What ever Clinton's role was in approving the clandestine gun-trafficking and guerrilla training operations run in the desolate mountain areas of Mena and Nella, Arkansas, it was Vice-President George Bush and his White House minion and protege Oliver North who ran the Mena project from top to bottom. The book implicates North, Bush, and other members of the Bush family in drug trafficking as well as possible murder.

Reed was a central player in a project called "Centaur Rose", which for Bill Clinton was a windfall. It provided a unique opportunity to attract high-tech business to his state -- business he expected would remain behind long after the Central American fighting was over. The CIA sweetened the deal by providing tens of millions of dollars in financing for the effort, which would be funneled through the Arkansas Development Finance Authority, an agency that Clinton set up to fulfill his campaing promise to bring Arkansas into the 20th century.

"Centaur Rose" and "Jade Bridge" were based out of secluded facilities in the mountains of Western Arkansas near Nella and Mena. "Jade Bridge," involved the training of Central American pilots and drop teams for the supply operations for the Contras. Between 1984 and 1985, Reed,along with a crew of CIA-veteran pilots, mechanics and irregular warfare trainers, put two "graduating classes" of Latinos through a crash course in aerial supply operations. Reed later learned that some of the students had been given special tutorials in the art of terrorism.

"Centaur Rose" involved the manufacturing of weapons parts in small shops dotting the rural Arkansas landscape. Assembled with parts provided from national guard and U.S. army stockpiles, the unmarked and unregistered light weapons were shuttled into Central America via the secret air bases at Mena and Nella. By 1985, things were getting pretty testy back in Arkansas. Gov. Clinton and some top aides were being accused by the CIA of keeping more than their fair share of the covert funds flowing into the state to keep the secret arms pipeline going. Furthermore, plans were underway for a much bigger manufacturing and trafficking program offshore and Terry Reed, who had proven himself a valuable asset because of his experience in the manufacturing as well as the training side of the program, was asked to put together a business plan for establishing a new proprietary company in Mexico.

(Damn, that's deep and I'd really like to chat more but I'm getting dizzy watching you booze it up while I'm sucking ice cubes for any trace of alcohol. Ever since slack has been out everyone and their mother's saturating me with all this conspiracy type shit.What do you want from me,anyway, what the fuck am I supposed to do?)

But he didn't answer me,having been reduced back to basic pages after getting sloshed. People in the tavern evaporated and the funkadelic melted into the sound of silence. Alone, I thought "what a great story idea for slack. Damn!"

THE END?
