Thread Name: Internment / Resettlement Document
Subject: Internment / Resettlement Document
FM 3-39-40 is an interesting document:

http://info.publicintelligence.net/USArmy-InternmentResettlement.pdf

A U.S. Department of Defense manual outlining how Internment & Resettlement operations are to be conducted. First page of the document says for internal use only. This was supposed to be secret. Look at how they're going to treat us, my fellow Americans, when the time comes to put us in camps.

Some claim that this thing deals only with foreign operations, but the document itself betrays that:

And Chapter 7-4, subsection 7-16 says, "The prisoner's last name, first name, and middle initial are placed on the first line of a name board, and the prisoner's social security number is placed on the second line..." Not too many Iraqis are going to have Social Security numbers, are they?

So this document outlines how YOU will be treated when you're sent to the camps. It reads a little like how Hitler's camps were set up, and a little like how the Soviets operated their gulags.

The Dept of Defense is hiring for these jobs, too:

6-14 describes how you'll be segregated when you reach lovely the lovely I/R facility for your holiday. You'll be put into one of the following fun groups:

- Leaders (perceived status and positions of authority).
- Hostile elements (hostile religious, political, ethnic groups).
- Security risks (agitators, radicals, uncooperative detainees).
- Civilian.
- Military.
- Military by grade (officers, NCOs, enlisted).
- Deserters. Those who surrendered from those who resisted capture.
- Minors.
- Females (if possible, keep small children with their mothers).
- Males.
- Groups of CIs, RP, and enemy combatants if known.
- Nationality.
- Suspected criminals.
- Other persons (those not in one of the above categories).

Don't try to talk to your guards. 6-16 says, "Detainees who refuse to be silent may require a muffle (an item used to prevent speech or outcry without causing injury to the detainee, such as cloth) in certain tactical situations."

The camp's PSYOP team will have lots of activities to keep you entertained. 3-56 says, "The PSYOP team also supports the military police custodial mission in the I/R facility. The team—
1. Develops PSYOP products that are designed to pacify and acclimate detainees or DCs to accept U.S. I/R facility authority and regulations.
2. Gains the cooperation of detainees or DCs to reduce the number of guards needed.
3. Identifies malcontents, trained agitators, and political leaders within the facility who may try to
organize resistance or create disturbances.
4. Develops and executes indoctrination programs to reduce or remove antagonistic attitudes.
5. Identifies political activists.
6. Provides loudspeaker support (such as administrative announcements and facility instructions
when necessary).
7. Helps the military police commander control detainee and DC populations during emergencies.
8. Plans and executes a PSYOP program that produces an understanding and appreciation of U.S.

Who says re-education has to be all work and no fun? Look at number 1 above. "products that are designed to pacify and acclimate detainees." They're talkin' drugs, folks. Lots of good downers at Camp FEMA. And indoctrination programs. Movies? And that loudspeaker support sounds like the heavy metal music they blasted at the Vatican consulate when Manuel Noriega took refuge there during the U.S. invasion of Panama. Or the blasting of the Branch Davidians (for days) with the amplified cries of rabbits being butchered. Party down at Camp FEMA.
