#14 Homeland Security Contracts KBR to Build Detention Centers in the US
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.
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.” - dukeeeey, on 10/11/2007, -4/+51#14 Homeland Security Contracts KBR to Build Detention Centers in the US
nice. - markp93, on 10/11/2007, -2/+39Wow:
"More than 75 percent of genetically modified (GM) crops are engineered to tolerate the absorption of Roundup—it eliminates all plants that are not GM. Monsanto Inc., the major engineer of GM crops, is also the producer of Roundup. "
that is so messed up! - mobbo, on 10/11/2007, -5/+36That list makes me depressed. The U.S. government is doing so many un-American, un-Constitutional, terrible things but we can't/won't do anything meaningful about it.

zoom out to 10 years and notice the trend since 2002 - swrostmore, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13Bush discussing bombing Al-Jazeera's (thats a newspaper btw) headquarters with Tony Blair isnt on the list, but I have a feeling its going to be in the news a lot in the next few weeks. Although our media didn't really cover the Downing Street Memo, so I dont know. Good thing I read BBC.
I love all the professional apologists disparaging 25 articles that cite legitimate sources as inventions of the radical left. Shouting "LA LA LA LA I CANT HEAR YOU" isn't going to get you guys very far in life. - Alphabet, on 10/11/2007, -1/+14Spam, and I went to your profile and marked all your grenadecity submissions as spam too.
- TangerineDream, on 10/11/2007, -2/+14I wish the detention center stories would get more press because the last time detention centers sprung up so quick was during WW2 when the Japanese were being held against their will. I wonder what they really are for.
- bsiviglia9, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12@harpwn: "These aren't censored, they're just not covered..."
When six corporations control all the media, how is "self censorship" not censorship? - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13Well, at least they still report on the important stuff... I think Paris Hilton had a headache today... boo hoo!
- ham666bone, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11and if monsanto seeds spill onto your crops, and genetically contaminate the seeds you have saved over the years, Monsanto then owns the rights to your seeds, and can sue you for patent infringement. That's because intellectual property law now allows you to patent living things - even things that you did not engineer yourself. And incredibly, even while demanding that farmers pay for copyright infringement when their crops are shown to have Monsanto's DNA, they want to avoid FDA regulation by saying that their product isn't significantly different from regular grain!
And you thought MPAA was evil - at least you're not depending on them for survival. - eezzzz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Well they sure did good with Agent Orange.
- ham666bone, on 10/11/2007, -5/+15There's PLENTY of food already to feed the population. Third world countries are major exporters of food even as their farmers starve - they need the rights to access the food, not the ability to grow more at their own cost (payable to Monsanto Corp). Monsanto doesn't give a ***** about that second part. Maybe before we undermine the strength of existing plants that have evolved on this planet we should see if the crap we've invented is actually healthy to eat and sustainable to plant.
Maybe there's a connection here with the fact that the upper-level officials of Monsanto are now serving in the FDA? - edrift101, on 10/11/2007, -8/+17Time to resubmit this list to bloggers around the world. Get talking and ignore mainstream media. Power to the people!
- Lobut, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8mwayne, that is not what they mean by censored.
They mean ignored by the media. - ruley, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9this is why i love Digg.
this is a middle finger to big media.

Were you just waiting to paste that in somewhere or did you actually just type that all out? - Philluminati, on 10/11/2007, -3/+9That's the last time I eat fresh fruit. It's all burgers and chicken from now on. No round up sprayed on them

- epiccollision, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6do you ppl realize who is behind project censored...they are not tin foil hats...they're academics...get a clue before questioning the content that they heavily research
- Albionshores, on 10/11/2007, -5/+10I know this probably isn't the place but you asked a question and I couldn't pass it by.
Steel is subject to heat. It does however retain much of its strength when exposed to high temperature. What type of bridge was it though because it could be exposed to tensile stress where as the steel in the Towers was under compression. And fire in a building is factored into its design. Of course the 9-11 commission described the Towers has being structurally hollow structures. They weren't, they had 4 massive steel coulumns in each - there are design plans and photographs of the towers being built to back this up. Had the commission recognised this fact however then they would have been at a loss to explain why the columns disappeared. Even if the pancake theory worked (which it doesn't) you would still have had 4 ruddy big columns standing from the ruins.
Neither does the commission's explanation adequately describe why WTC7 which was not hit by an aircraft collapsed when buildings much closer to the Towers remained standing. Walk into a book store or a library and look up WTC7 in the Commissions Report....it is not even mentioned once.
Nor does the Commission explain why 6 weeks later molten iron in the foundations was preventing workers from working the site. Theres a silly cliaim that Aviation fuel could melt steel. It can't, but putting that to one side and ignoring the fact that the steel was treated with asbestos. We all saw how high up the plane hit....thats where the aviation fuel was...why massive pools molten IRON in the FOUNDATIONS.
Back to your bridge. We can test the steel and work out why it failed, heat, tension, foundation cracking due to heat (heat was nowhere near Tower foundations). Bridges and Skyscrapers are two very different types of building. We can test the steel on the bridge but we couldn't in the Twin Towers...because they cut it into transportable lengths and shipped it off to be melted down and recycled in China, even before they had stopped looking for bodies!
Think about that.
The biggest attack on US soil ever...and evidence is removed before any expert can study it.. Censorship doesn't mean total prevention of expression in media. It can mean spinning and tampering with the evidence.
People are arguing that this can't be censorship because we are reading about it. In that list is a report of people trying to impose restrictions which would mean you could be prevented in future from reading about it.
The day after 9-11 all the news channels continuously showed the towers collapsing...but they never once showed WTC7 collapsing. That is spin. - actionscripted, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Is it odd that I had a second thought before clicking the thumbs-up?
- SOS84, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5You forgot about the German immigrants in the mid-Atlantic region that were detained on the East Coast.
- lukehh, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5@bsiviglia9
ooooo... you just had to put that in there? well played though, well played... - wakananda, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4That part pisses me off most of all - exploiting kidnapped children, hounding the parents of murder victims and interviewing them after the bodies are found... while abandoning any duty to report the news. They say "hey - we have a bottom line." I say: why the ***** should we take ANYTHING the MSM says seriously - any of them, however earnest. They run damage control for criminals who are raping our Republic. ***** them, and everyone who advertises with them.
- catalysis, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6@Covered on Digg? But I thought these had all been censored!
It wasn't really censored, I've seen almost every one of these stories at some point. Saying that it was censored just makes people think the story is more important. Welcome to the new world of misinformation and doublespeak. - Alphabet, on 10/11/2007, -7/+11I remember hearing about that physicist. I also remember that, at first, most physicist just laughed at him until he presented evidence. You can't deny hard cold facts and numbers. I hate conspiracy theories, but there's enough evidence to show inconsistencies in the government's original reports.
I don't know if this is all a conspiracy or not, but it would be a smart idea to investigate it more, at least in order to explain the inconsistencies. - hiPpymIck, on 10/11/2007, -6/+10i didnt know genetically modified food was dangerous

FTA
"Monsanto GM soy and corn are widely consumed by Americans at a time when the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization has concluded, “In several cases, GMOs have been put on the market when safety issues are not clear.”
and
"In May 2006 the WTO upheld a ruling that European countries broke international trade rules by stopping importation of GM foods. The WTO verdict found that the EU has had an effective ban on biotech foods since 1998 and sided with the U.S., Canada, and Argentina in a decision that the moratorium was illegal under WTO rules.3" - weeeezzll, on 10/11/2007, -8/+12Yea, I think i'm gonna have to go to YouTube and watch at least 15 videos of people smoking Salvia to get me out of the slump this this article has put me in.
(Awesome article by the way....excellent!) -
