The article you are about to read was originally posted on Gaye’s Backdoor Survival site and George’s Peoplenomics site. This is something that the two of us have been working on for a number of months – since early May to be exact.
We both harbor a great deal of concern over what we see happening in our country but in fairness to the PTB, wanted to come to terms with real facts. Our goal was to uncover the truth and debunk what we thought were internet myth’s about FEMA and FEMA activities.
Now we are not so sure.
FEMA Faceoff
In recent months we have all read and seen videos of the large scale movement of military gear, including equipment which could be used to control an unruly US civilian population. To add to that, the US Army’s forward training documents reveal that the military is contingency planning for major US in civil turmoil in 2016. That this could theoretically be caused by the hard bite of the Second Depression and people not seeing it coming is of great concern to us. That plus the fact that the majority of the population will not be properly prepped when it all comes tumbling down.
When writing about tank movement and such on our websites, one of our readers suggested that this was “normal” movement and that the tanks and other heavy gear were likely headed for Fort Irwin (near Barstow) for war gaming and to be fitted with the latest and greatest electronics. But in the hundreds? That fails the “smell test” when we are told that Afghanistan will be winding down. Something simply is not adding up.
So while the economic side of things is George’s bailiwick and the prepping side is Gaye’s, we both feel that the two cannot be separated when dire times hit and further, that the truth about what is coming needs to be exposed for the greater good of our citizens.
Given that, what is the responsible, journalistic thing to do? Get ahead of the problem – help dispel paranoia and BS on the net and get some tough questions answered.
Attempting to Debunk the Internet Rumor Mill
Last April, while vacationing, Gaye had the opportunity to have cocktails with a high ranking FEMA official. During the course of the conversation, she discussed the work she was doing at the Backdoor Survival and Strategic Living websites and asked this official if he would be willing to be interviewed. He graciously and without hesitation agreed.
When Gaye returned home, she called George and the two of us put our heads together and come up with some questions that we hoped would debunk the internet rumor mill as it relates to FEMA. You know what we are talking about: body bags, army equipment, limits on banking . . . all that troubling “stuff” that is increasingly getting play on the internet.
Why? While quite simply, there are all kinds of grim “It’s the end of the world, it’s 2012, go hide under the bed with the cat while you can!” stories on the Internet. In fact, we’ve estimated that “world ending” stories, books, videos, speaking appearances, radio, and online advertising probably adds up to perhaps $400-million (or more) which is an interesting industry. Add to that all of the revenue from late night talk shows, the survival gear and prepping goods industries and to some extent, even the increases in gun and ammunition sales. None of which, by the way, has slowed down since the recent massacre in Aurora.
But the problem we all have is this: Whenever one of those stories about “Concentration camps are being built in America to house Americans!” comes along, how many “news” sources in the Mainstream Media [also known as the MSM or olde media] actually make an effort to get the flip side of the story; the response from officialdom?
Zip, zilch, nadda. So we began our quest for the truth with a FEMA faceoff.
