Hidden power.

Secrets. Cover -ups.

Corruption.

You think you know the whole story?

Think again.

I've been governor.

A Navy SEAL.

A fighter.

I've heard things that'll blow your
mind.

And now I think it's time you get the
whole story. Now.

The secret government plan to spy on,
round up,

and imprison innocent Americans.

Anybody that seeks to challenge the
status quo could potentially be a

threat.

Jesse Ventura uncovers a plot to force
martial law on law -abiding citizens.

Certainly the involvement of the
military is something that's very

Replace the 50 states.

With ten giant prison sectors.

Fill up hundreds of concentration camps
with people like you and me.

They call it residential centers.
Residential centers with fences.

Because they're designed to hold whole
families.

And pull the trigger with a disease
pandemic.

There's this massive preparation,
literal mega death.

It's not a fantasy.

The wheels are in motion.

And politicians are passing laws to
steal our freedoms and protect the

I'm here to talk to you about these FEMA
camps.

They don't exist.

So why was it put into that bill?

Before it's too late, Jesse Ventura cuts
through the razor wire, storms the

prisons, and blasts open the American
concentration camp conspiracy.

I'm Jesse Ventura and this is Conspiracy
Theory.

Madison, Georgia.

Jesse Ventura's investigation of a
police state conspiracy has led him

After weeks of traveling to sites of
alleged concentration camps for innocent

citizens, he's arrived at the most
chilling display of all.

What in the hell is this coffin?

It's hundreds of thousands of coffins.
And if they had to get rid of people or

dissidents, they got the caskets for it,
don't they? Yes, and we found

stockpiles all over the country.

In this conspiracy business, you hear a
lot of stories about America turning

into a police state.

Most of the time, it's only stories.

But every once in a while, you get the
truth from the most unlikely source.

In this case, it was Catherine Bleich, a
young woman from Missouri.

Look at her.

With the teenage earrings, short skirt.

She's just a girl, really.

Like anyone's daughter or neighbor down
the street.

Why would anybody bother messing with
her?

I found out that an agency in my state
had issued a report saying that I should

be considered a threat to law
enforcement.

Wait, wait, wait, hold on. Let's back up
a little.

Catherine, who are you? Do you belong to
a subversive group?

No. Have you ever?

No. You haven't belonged to anything
that the government would consider

subversive or like the Hell's Angels?

No. I was a delegate for the state of
Missouri as a supporter of Ron Paul to

RNC in 2008.

They labeled you a subversive and all
you were doing was practicing your First

Amendment rights in this country and you
learned they put you on a watch list?

Yes.

Let me get this straight.

She campaigns for a legitimate
presidential candidate.

What's more American than that?

Yet she's labeled a threat.

Something's not right.

I thought we had a constitution that
protects against that.

Well, fear trumps freedom every time.

Well, it actually involves the
Department of Homeland Security and

institutions that have been popping up
all over the country called fusion

centers. Have you heard of those?

After 9 -11, Homeland Security and the
Justice Department set them up in cities

around the country.

Command centers that gather and analyze
information from government agencies,

police departments, and private sources,
supposedly to prevent terrorism.

So these fusion centers are, on the
surface, look like a good idea,

the federal, state, and local law
enforcement, sharing their knowledge.

sharing their abilities to provide
safety to us in case of a terrorist

situation. Well, I thought so at first.
Then we filed open records requests, got

copies of 11 reports. Most of them were
political profiling documents, and they

profiled all types of ideologies and
lifestyles.

I'd think this young gal was putting me
on if it wasn't all on the record.

These fusion centers have police powers.

And centers around the country have been
accused of targeting all sorts of

people and groups.

Ordinary folks who might be pro -life,
pro -gun, part of a big church, support

third party, or just attend college.

Not terrorists.

I didn't know what a fusion center was.
I just knew there was a report that said

that I should be considered a threat.

I basically dropped everything to figure
out what was going on. When this young

lady went out to find why she was being
targeted, the powers that be were not

polite.

Who'd stick a dog on a girl?

In Missouri, when I showed up to
Governor Nixon's office to submit an

records request, I was thrown out by
highway patrol.

And they fall under the Department of
Homeland Security?

Yes, Department of Homeland Security.

Well, it's the old standard.

When the government tells you they're
going to protect you, get ready because

you're going to lose your freedom. I
hereby declare this to be an unlawful

assembly.

It's that simple, protection and
freedoms. I personally would rather have

freedoms and face the danger.

rather than them making me safe and
locking me up.

Catherine Bleich left me with some leads
and the makings of a real conspiracy.

I had my team all over it before I got
back to her place.

Dear Governor, there are 72 of these
fusion centers around the country.

Yeah, and as I understand it, they
coordinate information from the CIA to

FBI to the state police as well as the
local police. The biggest problem with

all of this is there's no oversight.

And did you know they've been sued?
They're supposed to be watching for

terrorists, but they've actually gone
after protesters.

Yeah, even conspiracy theorists.

Conspiracy theorists. Yes, even
conspiracy theorists. Obama's regulatory

Cass Dunstein, has written a paper
saying that conspiracy theorizers should

banned altogether.

Obviously, there's a lot more to this. I
want to know everything about these

fusion centers.

Brilliant. I'm on it. And get me a
flight to D .C. immediately.

Got it.

Everyone had leads to chase.

I had a source in the Capitol.

Mike German spent 16 years as an FBI
special agent, infiltrating terror cells

and preventing acts of terrorism before
9 -11.

A few years after 9 -11, he got so fed
up with the foul -ups and abuses within

the Bureau, he quit.

Now he's focused on reining in those
fusion centers.

They developed in such secrecy with no
guidelines and no oversight, so the

public really has no way to hold these
institutions accountable.

No guidelines, no oversight, bad enough.

But it's what he told me next that
really made my blood boil.

Where they start collecting things that
aren't necessarily reasonably associated

with criminality, that's where problems
start.

In some programs, even expressing
extreme views.

Wait, wait, wait. Who plays God here on
the definition of what's an extreme

view?

Coming up, Jesse goes after the thought
police.

And he finds out you better watch what
you say.

Law enforcement officials believe that
anybody that seeks to challenge the

status quo could be a violent threat.

Then, confrontation at the government
facility that's gathering secrets on all

of us.

We don't watch people. We do watch
trends. But aren't trends people?

And later, the governor exposes a police
state prison camp built for you and me.

If this is a residential center, why on
the sign does it say you can't bring in

anything that can help lead someone to
escape?

Jesse Ventura is beginning to unravel
the police state conspiracy.

While his investigators follow leads
across the country, the governor is in

nation's capital.

He's arranged a discreet meeting with
former FBI agent Mike German.

About the growing nightmare of fusion
centers, the government's latest way of

gathering information on you and me.

When we first produced a report in 2007
about this, there were 42 fusion

centers. Now there are more than 72, so
they're growing very rapidly.

What's the reason for the secrecy on
their part? There's obviously a very

unfortunate history with police
intelligence activities in the United

particularly targeting political groups.
So I think part of the secrecy was to

allow this thing to develop before
anybody found out much about them.

Okay, who's in charge of it?

That's the best question out there, and
the answer is nobody.

That says to me it's ripe for abuse.

Absolutely. With very intrusive powers
that the law enforcement have to gather

information about members of the public,
you have almost no or weak oversight

and no way for the public to get any
kind of accountability over these

That sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Open the door! We're going to bust it
down!

While I was speaking with a terror
expert, my investigator June was in

Texas.

She was there to meet an underground
group of Fusion Center watchdogs.

They call themselves Operation D -Fuse.

Their leader is John Bush.

John Bush?

Operation Defuse is a movement of
individuals whose purpose is to educate

activists and the American public about
the growing threat of the fusion center.

So why is it important to defuse the
nation?

Overseeing with the fusion centers, law
enforcement officials believe that

anybody that seeks to challenge the
status quo could potentially be a

threat.

Have there been abuses that you know of?
There have been a number of fusion

center reports that have leaked that
indicate that, yes, they are targeting

groups because of their political
beliefs. They're going to bust you for

thinking. They're here, the thought
police.

Now you can get arrested for what you
believe in, what you buy, what you read,

who you associate with.

Right, and they've started a suspicious
activity reporting program.

What do we quote and put under
suspicious activity?

Some of the behaviors are things like
photography, taking videos, drawing

diagrams, taking measurements, even
expressing extreme views.

Originally, the suspicious activity
reporting program was directed at law

enforcement. So at least they had some
training in the law. But now they're

actually public programs where they put
out videos that show planes crashing

into towers and say, you can prevent
this by reporting your neighbors.

What happened when you have gone to
investigate these fusion centers?

At the Ohio Fusion Center, we were met
with about four very big armed guards

when we went in there simply to deliver
an open records request.

Yeah, this one's really scary.

This is the Arizona Fusion Center, and
we interviewed this woman right here,

she actually informed us that they run
organizers of protests. They run their

name through their databases. I asked
her if I were to organize a rally, would

she run my name through the Fusion
Center databases?

Um, yes.

She said yes.

So that's legitimate First Amendment
activity.

With a lot of this collection, this
suspicious activity reporting, the

government takes what they think is a
pattern or a profile, and they apply

to you.

To me, Mike, that's as anti -American as
you can get.

Right, and it creates a huge chilling
effect where people think, I don't want

be involved in politics because I might
be spied on. Somebody might suggest that

I could be a terrorist because I'm
involved with this group.

Profiling anybody and everybody who
disagrees with Big Brother.

I knew the next step, only I was hoping
I was wrong.

Is this a step towards martial law?

Certainly the involvement of the
military in these fusion centers is

that's very concerning to us.

Martial law, I've seen that in the
Philippines. The military moving in and

taking over our communities, stomping on
our rights. And these fusion centers

are helping grease the skids.

So, Mike, these fusion centers, they're
located everywhere. What's one of the

big ones that you know of? Well, they
have a number of big ones.

One of the very slick productions is the
Colorado Fusion Center. The Colorado

Fusion Center is my target.

I'm on my way.

Coming up, Jesse Ventura goes up against
a real -life monster.

The monster fusion center that's
watching you.

Would I be under observation by a fusion
center because of my beliefs that I

don't always believe? Hopefully not.
Hopefully.

Then, concentration camps for you and
your family.

The governor uncovers a horrifying
secret right out in the open.

For a residential place, I've never seen
one with a locked front door and double

fences. And later.

A sight even more frightening than the
camps.

What in the hell is this?

Jesse Ventura is outside Denver on his
way to the Colorado Intelligence

Center, a .k .a. the Monster Fusion
Center.

The governor is here to demand answers
about surveillance and targeting of

innocent Americans.

He doesn't know it, but his next step
will lead him to something unthinkable,

but all too real.

American concentration camps for you and
your family.

That's it.

Doesn't look like much, does it?

But this is Homeland Security's crown
jewel.

55 different agencies use this place as
their control center for spying on

protesters.

Even ordinary delegates outside the 2008
Democratic National Convention.

But what else is it up to?

Lance Clem is the guy in charge.

That's our guy right there.

I didn't know you were part of this.

Yeah, hit them when they're not looking.

So your main function as gathering
intelligence?

Is putting together pieces of
information.

Fusion Center means that they take all
kinds of pieces of information and fuse

them together. Yeah, gathering
intelligence.

May or may not be intelligence.

It also appears to me to be very ripe
for abuse.

This technology that you're putting
together, how easy could that be used

against American citizens?

We don't watch people.

We do watch trends.

But aren't trends people?

Not necessarily. But they could be. They
could be.

We had an occasion to study the fusion
center in Missouri.

And it came out that they were focusing
in on people with Ron Paul stickers on

their cars.

Now, isn't that going above and beyond
the call of duty? I mean, it even showed

up conspiracy theorists. That puts me in
there.

Would I be under observation by a fusion
center?

Because of my beliefs that I don't
always believe. Hopefully not.

Hopefully. Hopefully not.

First he tells me they just fuse
information.

Then he says he hopes they're not
watching me.

I think all hope is lost.

These guys sound out of control.

We've got documents from Missouri and
we've got one from Virginia that

specifically targets African Americans.

Right. Or people who are against the
state of Israel.

It's really troubling to see someone who
has a particular political slogan on

their car and all of a sudden they're on
a watch list.

Sure, of course it is. This guy isn't
even bothering to deny it. And that's

really dicey. Well, it is dicey. These
policies are universal to every fusion

center? Or do you run each fusion center
separately with these basic policies?

Each one of them is managed separately.

The federal government doesn't manage
these operations.

But they oversee them. No, they don't.
They don't? No.

That was maybe the scariest discovery we
made yet.

Nobody's at the rudder.

These fusion centers are running wild
all over our rights.

That's peculiar.

You mean they just give away the money
and from that point on they say you're

your own?

Well, it's here. The money. Right. Yeah.

Imagine. Dozens of fusion centers.

Dozens of mini -dictators you never
heard of. A secret government funded by

elite power brokers in the top echelon
of Washington.

What's the real scheme here?

I got an idea when I got a call from
Austin, Texas.

It was Alex Jones, my conspiracy
insider.

He knew that June was in town.

And when he heard the term fusion
center, he went ballistic.

Governor, I need to talk to you right
away.

That's just the tip of the iceberg.

These fusion centers aren't just to keep
tabs on the public and spy on us.

They're really command and control
centers for the concentration camps that

being expanded all over the nation.

Concentration camps?

I knew this was going to get bigger, but
I had to see this for myself.

I met Alex outside a federal prison in
Texas.

At least.

It seemed to be a prison. This is also
designated as a civil unrest center, and

there's 11 ,000 -plus acres in this area
controlled by the Department of

Defense. So there's much more potential
prison space than what we're seeing

right here.

Yes, this is one of the major complexes
in the United States for suppressing the

major cities during unrest with a
financial collapse or during a war or

revolution in this country. Looks like
they're waiting to put us all behind

bars.

Coming up, Jesse exposes prison camps
across America, waiting for you and me.

They would build them all over the
nation.

Prisons that are for entire families,
similar to the Nazi concentration camps.

Then, the lace will bend when the team
gets too close to the truth.

Governor Jesse Ventura, is there a
problem?

And later, Jesse confronts the
congressman behind the U .S.

So none of these, there are no such
camps anywhere in America? No, there

Jesse Ventura's investigation of a
police state conspiracy began with a

government terror response bases called
fusion centers.

The case has now taken a frightening
twist.

conspiracy expert alex jones has warned
the governor that fusion centers are

actually command centers for a network
of concentration camps ready to be

activated under martial law we know that
they plan to use the

cover story that these centers were for
illegal aliens or undocumented

immigrants but that they would then
build them all over the nation, prisons

are for entire families, similar to the
Nazi concentration camps. Or similar to

when they interned American Japanese
citizens in World War II.

Exactly.

That government plan to suspend the
Constitution, declare martial law, and

up anyone deemed a national security
threat, it's documented.

It's called Rex 84.

It was cooked up under the Reagan
administration.

By Colonel Oliver North. Nothing but the
fruits, for help you God, I do.

June was in Las Vegas with a
constitutional expert named Stuart

From honest Abe to Barack Obama, he says
presidents have been taking away our

rights whenever they want.

Executive orders over the years give the
president the claimed authority to do

all kinds of extraordinary things, like
round up Americans and intern them

without due process.

Should we go through some of these
executive orders?

Sure. I think the first big one was
Lincoln during the Civil War.

He ordered embargoes and blockades of
southern ports on his own. He suspended

habeas corpus.

by executive order, ordered the
detention of American citizens.

They were American citizens, but they
happened to be of Japanese descent.

They were corralled up over 100 ,000 and
were interned for years.

No due process at all.

A lot of them date back from the Cold
War, signed by Kennedy.

Duck and cover in the school bus.

But the more recent one, which has
raised a few eyebrows, is the one issued

January 11, 2010.

which is called, which establishes the
council of governors.

The council of governors, nine state
governors and one from Puerto Rico.

In case of a national emergency, they
quarantine the country into 10 sectors

take control from the rest of the
governors and state legislatures.

If the president wanted to send in
military or round up dissidents in a

His council of cronies would rubber
stamp anything.

That's why they got picked.

That's the problem is that the executive
branch is now claiming the ability to

use its military authority to execute
the laws here at home.

This is just one act of prison. They've
got giant auxiliaries. They've got other

nearby prisons.

Alex was going to show me more, but then
the guards showed him.

Governor Jesse Ventura, is there a
problem?

These guys aren't playing games. I'm
used to getting hassled.

Whatever, we were moving on to another
kind of prison.

They call it a residential center, but
it looks a hell of a lot more like a

prison to me.

Double fences, floodlights, barbed wire
to keep people from getting out, and at

the main entrance, railroad tracks, just
like Nazi Germany.

Halliburton and others have gotten
contracts that they will not only hold

immigrants or foreigners in these
facilities, but political dissidents.

they're building these centers all over
the country, and they call them

residential centers. Residential centers
with fences?

Because they're designed to hold whole
families.

Hell of a place to raise a family.

Here's the part that gets me, though.
Any instrument that may be used as an

in effecting or attempting escape.

Well, when they use the term escape,
that tells me people are being held here

against their will.

Coming up, Jesse Ventura confronts the
spokesman for the so -called residential

center. It looks to me, it looks very
much like a prison. Well, we're charged

with their safety as well, so.

Who's after them?

I'm sorry?

Shocking allegations.

Is the government planning germ warfare
against its own population?

We know there's this massive preparation
for plagues and literal mega debt.

Jesse Ventura's investigation of the
police state conspiracy has led to

camps. Charges that the government has
hundreds around the country waiting to

take in all but the elite.

Stop! Stop!

Stop! The governor is about to confront
the operators of an alleged prison camp

in Texas.

Well, let's walk up and see who talks to
us. Or if anyone will.

Meanwhile, investigator Daniel Kukin is
on the road in California, searching for

other detention facilities said to be
hidden in plain sight.

His guide is William Lewis, an activist
who's identified 800 prison camp

locations. William speaks via webcam.

He reveals that a bill in the U .S.
Congress, H .R. 645, calls for the

of these camps.

They'd be run by the Secretary of
Homeland Security.

Any kind of military base can be
converted into a camp.

The first thing that you need is a
secure perimeter with barbed wire

turned inward to keep people in instead
of keep people out. Some type of a guard

tower, some type of an airfield, nearby
rail line or train tracks,

smoke towers, just like the Japanese
internment camps of the 1940s.

So my question is, who are they going to
put into these camps?

I have a feeling that it's going to be
people like you and me.

Who do we talk to here?

Can we walk in?

It's locked.

It's locked.

We can't even go in.

Hello?

While we were trying to get inside,
William Lewis was leading Daniel to a

camp site just outside Los Angeles.

Keep driving up the hill.

You'll get to a parking lot.

Park at the far side of the parking lot,
and you'll see they've got trailers set

up, not unlike those used in Hurricane
Katrina, where the FEMA camps were

housed. They've got a power plant set up
on the premises with massive

generators.

Now, the thing that's sketchy about the
security is I can see right here, all

this barbed wire, that's all pointing
inward.

So they're not trying to keep anybody
out.

There's always a large law enforcement
presence.

Well, those guys just showed up.

They weren't here when we pulled up.

And now they're on the move, so... You
know, I'm going to head on to the next

space.

Yeah, I'm out of here.

It took a while.

But finally, someone came out. The
spokeswoman.

What is this place?

This is the Tidon Hotel Residential
Center.

Um, residential center?

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir. Okay. It looks like a prison.

I mean, I've never seen a residential
center that has two sets of fences go

around. It looks identical to a prison
to me.

Well, the reason I'm here is just to see
what I can do for you today.

Well, you can answer my questions.

Why does it look like a prison?

And I've never come to a residential
center that has its front doors locked.

And you can't walk in and talk to a
receptionist. Well, the reason for that

to protect privacy of the residents
inside.

And why do they need protection?

Well, I'll tell you what I can do for
you, sir.

I'm more than happy to forward all your
questions to our folks at ICE.

They'd be more than happy to talk. And
ICE is?

Information and Customs Enforcement. And
that's under Homeland Security?

Yes, sir. Okay.

Daniel followed the train into the port
of Los Angeles.

William Lewis led him to another camp on
Terminal Island.

Isolated, just like Alcatraz, with more
barbed wire.

facing in.

In Texas, I was getting tag -teamed by
spokespeople.

Just so I have it on the record, for a
residential place, I've never seen one

with a locked front door and double
fences.

It looks to me, it looks very much like
a prison. Well, we're charged with their

safety as well, so... Who's after them?

I'm sorry? Who would be after them? That
you'd need double fences and this type

of security?

You got Al Capone in there?

Daniel could see the evidence.

But before he got any closer, the police
moved in. And the cops weren't happy to

see Daniel.

What is that I'm looking at right there?

We can't give it.

No, some people don't like this.

We're trying to find out. Why are you
here?

It's not good.

All of what we learned made it obvious.

What we'd thought was a police state
conspiracy is a concentration camp

conspiracy, and everything is
documented.

I thought I'd seen enough, but Alex
Jones wanted me to visit one more

Governor, there's just a little town up
the road from here.

Madison, Georgia, on the side of
Interstate 20, near train tracks,

close to an airport.

Perfect for smuggling in people like you
and me under the cover of darkness.

But this place didn't need any barbed
wire to keep people from getting out.

What in the hell is this?

It's hundreds of thousands of plastic
coffins.

Each one of those is a separate coffin
stacked on top. There's probably, what,

20 to 25 per stack.

And how many stacks? Literally hundreds
of them. And you can fit four dead

bodies per plastic coffin. It's
basically a giant body bag.

Tens of thousands of coffins.

Officially, they're plastic grave
liners.

Seven feet long, three feet deep, with
lids.

The company that makes them says they're
just being stored for people's pre

-needs. Well, who in the hell has a pre
-need for this many coffins?

Unless they're planning a massacre.

If they had to get rid of people or
dissidents or whatever, they certainly

the caskets for it, don't they? What
would their argument be, though?

The place that makes these boxes used to
be a research and development arm of

Hercules Incorporated.

Hercules is a major defense contractor
with ties to Halliburton.

The feds gave $385 million to a
Halliburton subsidiary to build the

centers.

It seems everything that I'm
investigating, the trail seems to lead

Halliburton all the time. Exactly,
Governor.

The admitted Homeland Security contracts
with those camp centers, that's

admitted in mainstream news. It's
Halliburton. It always goes back to

Halliburton.

But it doesn't end there.

These detention centers and camps are
run by FEMA, the federal agency that's

supposed to help us in crisis, is ready
to round us up.

FEMA already has the country divided
into 10 regions, and they match almost

perfectly with the Council of Governors'
10 sectors.

And so these are sitting here waiting
for the implement of martial law,

possibly. And remember, this is right
outside Atlanta, Georgia, where the

Centers for Disease Control is based.

Alex Jones was about to fit the last
piece of this puzzle, how the

camp plan would be put into action.

I'm going to give you some of these
secret government documents that we've

gotten from where they admit that
they've got stockpiled for the

pandemic.

This is the perfect pretext to bring in
martial law.

using the fear generated by a pandemic.

They'd start a pandemic as an excuse.

An excuse to put away anybody who gets
in the way of their power.

The feds would trigger a nationwide
outbreak of deadly disease.

The bodies would pile up. The military
would pile in.

And the concentration camp gates would
open. We have government documents where

the CDC is preparing for mass pandemics,
hundreds of thousands or even millions

dead. There's this massive preparation
going on for plagues and literal mega

death. Mega death.

Well, that's one way to put it. It makes
you wonder about all the flus that

spread like wildfire, how quickly they
kill, all the outbreaks and

and how simple it would be for the
elites to put the plan into action.

And we may have arrived just in time to
expose the evidence.

In the hours after we left, workers
began hustling to get the coffins out of

there.

It was time to meet the ones who are
making all this possible.

Coming up, Jesse Ventura gets the
runaround from congressmen too afraid to

the truth about FEMA prison camps.

I actually just left to go back to the
district.

Oh, you did? And then, a congressman
behind the law to build prison camps

dumb. Why is it in that bill?

What is exactly in the bill?

Jesse Ventura has found evidence of a
government plan to use a disease

and martial law to clear the way for
concentration camps ready to take in

American citizens who don't toe the
line. Come on!

Residential center?

It looks like a prison.

Now, after stopping in at a storage yard
filled with thousands of coffins, the

governor has arrived in Washington.

Now I've seen enough evidence.

I want to know why our congressmen think
we need prison camps for ordinary

citizens. They put it right in a
congressional bill, H .R.

645.

I went to Washington to find some of the
congressmen who co -sponsored the bill.

And what happened gives a pretty good
idea of how our nation has slid down the

slippery slope to a possible police
state.

First, there was Congressman and co
-sponsor Jim Gerlach of Pennsylvania.

When I arrived at his office on Capitol
Hill, his chief of staff said the

congressman would be glad to see me.

Until he found out what I wanted to talk
about.

These FEMA camps.

Then Gerlach ran away.

He literally just stepped out of the
office as you all did. On two separate

occasions. He actually just left to go
back in the district.

Oh, he did? Yeah.

How convenient.

He says he's all excited to talk to me
all morning and then we go in there and

he heads home right after he finishes a
vote.

Yeah, right.

Congressman Steve Cohen of Tennessee
agreed to talk about the bill.

Remember, he's a co -sponsor.

I'm here to talk to you about these FEMA
camps.

I'm very disturbed about them. Why would
we be building these things all over

the country? For what purpose?

Well, we wouldn't because they don't
exist.

It's just a figment of some people who
have concerns about maybe Martians or

other creatures coming to infiltrate our
society thinking that there are such

camps. So why was it put into that bill?

It's in a bill, so it's put into the
bill. It doesn't exist. There are no

camps anywhere in America.

No, there aren't.

What was the place I saw in Texas?

It was called a residence.

It had two 20 -foot high fences around
it.

When I knocked on the door, it was
locked.

When the people came to the door, no
comment was the answer I got on any

question. And what disturbed me the most
about this place was in the back, it

was like a daycare. There's slides and
swings for children.

And I said, do you keep children inside
this place?

No comment. Have you ever kept children
in this place? No comment.

I haven't been there, so I have no idea.
Maybe they're immature people. So

you're telling me there isn't one FEMA
camp of these in the United States right

now? There are not.

Why is it in that bill?

What is exactly in the bill? It talks
about building FEMA camps, doesn't it?

That particular bill that we're talking
about?

I would like to see the bill.

Isn't this guy a co -sponsor of the
bill?

What's the bill number?

Six FEMA camps to be built within the
United States. How can a bill state that

there will be six FEMA camps built in
the United States and then I'm being

there are none?

Well, I think, you know, I think I
recall now something about this. And if

correct, I think those are locations for
if there's a disaster like in Katrina.

I think that's what it is. It's not any
kind of a concentration camp or anything

to round up citizens.

thinks that's what it is?

The bill that he co -sponsored says the
use of the camps will be determined by

the Secretary of Homeland Security.

They can come and go as they please.
They won't be locked.

They can go in and out because the place
I saw in Texas is locked.

You can't go in and out of it.

No comment.

It's probably not being used either. We
have films of children playing on the

swings and the slides and stuff.

And this one technically falls under
Homeland Security.

Well, I don't know. I haven't been there
and I don't know who the children are.

And the children are probably very
happy. Where have we heard that before?

They're probably children of the people
that manage the place, I imagine. But

they're not people that have been taken
there, you know, by some green monsters

in a machine. I have fear of my
government, not green monsters and

outer space.

I have enough fear from here.

You can see how things work in
Washington.

Congressmen sponsor bills because
they're told to or because it means

their district.

Back at Jim Gerlich's office, his chief
of staff admitted as much.

I've seen some things on the Internet,
and I know he talked to some folks back

in the district that led him to co
-sponsor it.

In light of some of the new information
out, he may want to reconsider that, of

course. Second thoughts about putting
his name on a bill he probably didn't

read.

If enough of us speak out.

Maybe next time we can talk some sense
into our leaders before they sign on the

dotted line.

They

said

it couldn't happen here, but it already
is happening.

And we've already allowed our elected
officials to break all kinds of laws

designed to protect you and me.

You thought we had 50 states?

Nope. We've learned there's 10 sectors
ruled by 10 people you didn't vote for.

You support your local police?

That's nothing, not when they've got the
military ready to take over. You signed

a petition outside the supermarket?

Who knows? what list you're on now.

And what about all these detention
centers?

Why do you think the standard answer is
no comment?

And here's what's worse.

They're doing it all in the name of
national security.

Talk about the fear factor.

I've said it before and I'll say it now.

I'd rather face the dangers than lose my
freedom.
