This is equal parts alarmist speculation and anonymous sources. That said:
When Reagan was considering an invasion of Nicaragua (you remember that, right?) he supposedly signed an executive order providing the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) broad powers to control “violent and widespread internal dissent or national opposition against a US military invasion abroad.” That’s chilling enough, but it gets much, much worse.Oliver North was in charge of organizing martial law plans from 1982 to 1984, and his work was revealed during the 1987 Iran-Contra hearings. The Miami Herald picked this up on July 5th of that year, saying that the plans were a reworking of previous plans to fight “a national uprising by black militants” by detaining “at least 21 million American Negroes”‘ in “assembly centres or relocation camps”. But that was Reagan, and ancient history? Wait, there’s more.
This reworked draft was the job of then-Deputy Directory of FEMA, John Brinkerhoff. Brinkerhoff is currently busy at the Anser Institute for Homeland Security, questioning the legality and interpretation of the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. You’ll remember this as the law that forbids deploying the US military against its own citizens.
Speculation runs wild, naturally. What’s worse, the Reagan plan isn’t open to the public, since President Bush claimed executive privilege on Reagan’s documents. The plot thickens.
If you’re like us, you’ve dismissed most of this as paranoid conspiracy mongering. Now, put all of this alongside more recent news.
The Detroit Free Press has a warning from U.S. Civil Rights Commissioner Peter Kirsanow on the creation of containment camps for Arab-Americans. The AP has picked up Okanogan County Commissioner Dave Schulz, who claims that FEMA is planning concentration camps in his Washington county. Air Force General Ralph Eberhardt, head of the newly-formed US Northern Command (in charge of military action inside the United States), is advocating a formal revision of the Posse Comitatus Act. Senator Joseph Biden endorses his plan.
Whether there is a secret plan for martial law or not, the establishment of a formal Northern Command and the talk of Posse Comitatus revisions is distressing.
Much of this is put together by the Sydney Morning Herald.
a technology job is no excuse 
You nicely note how this camp is conspiracy oriented.
I’ve had some dealings with the FEMA-fearing crowd. They’re gun nuts.
They’ve been at it a while. It’s the same crowd that fears forms for registering weapons and black helicopters. I’ve seen their documents — not these fresh ones. They all show plans for the goverment taking over all these different systems and rights. And it would be shocking if they weren’t total worst case scenario catastrophe plans.
