WASHINGTON — Is the federal government building secret camps to lock up people who criticize President Barack Obama?

Will it truck off young people to camps to brainwash them into liking Obama's agenda? Are government officials planning to replicate the French Revolution's Reign of Terror, using the guillotine to silence their domestic enemies?

No. The charges, of course, are not true.

However, the accusations are out there, a series of fantastic claims fed by paranoia about the government. They're spread and sometimes cross-pollinated via the Internet. They feed a fringe subset of the anger at the government percolating through the country, one that ignites passion, but also helps Obama's allies to discount broader anger at the president's agenda.

4. Well, in all fairness we have some of our own.

My English teacher in high school has a remote cabin in Appalachia where he sits around with other 60's artifacts and protegés discussing various hippy theories and conspiracy fears. I can't remember all of it, but something about HR Mullen Corporation being commission by NIxon to do a feasibility study for suspending national elections for reasons of national security and keeping Nixon in office permanently.

On the other hand, Dharma's dad on Greg and Dharma does this whole Prescott Bush to George Bush conspiracy spiel that's pretty damed good.

6. guillotines? What guillotines? I don't see no guillotines.

7. Yeah but a two years ago the camps were supposedly to be used to hold those who opposed W.

Hundreds of them would be used to hold those who opposed the Martial Law that would be imposed after a false-flag event that would allow W to remain in office, postponing any elections.

8. It's already happening, and it has nothing to do with the Obama Administration.

""There is a very strong chance that we will see that young people will be put into mandatory service," Bachmann told a Minnesota radio station.""

It's called the Prison-Industrial complex, and it depends on a steady influx of prisoners, most of which are incarcerated for minor drug and other offenses.
