The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 363
1994 –
On August 29, C. Dean Rhody wrote a memorandum entitled “Draft Army
Regulation on Civilian Inmate Labor Program”. Rhody was director of resource management for
the Department of the Army’s headquarters for training and doctrine command at Fort Monroe.
His memorandum included “procedures for preparing requests to establish civilian prison camps
on [military] installations.”

Purportedly, these labor camps are to relieve overcrowding in
state prisons but during Congressional hearings with Oliver North a different purpose was
exposed. Congressman Jack Brooks stated: “I read in several papers that there had been
developed a contingency plan, in the event of an emergency by the National Security Council
that would suspend the American Constitution.”
1379
Congressman Henry Gonzalez, later reported on this same topic, he stated: “The truth of
the matter is that you do have those standby provisions, and the statutory emergency plans are
there whereby you could, in the name of stopping terrorism, apprehend, invoke the military, and
arrest Americans and hold them in detention camps.”

1996 – Congress passed the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996
shortly after the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah building in Oklahoma City. The act enables
“the executive branch to declare various groups ‘terrorist’ -- without stating any reason and
without the possibility of appeal. Once a group has been so declared, its mailing and membership
lists must be turned over to the government.” The law also authorizes “secret trials with secret
evidence for certain classes of people.”

According to Ted Gunderson, retired Senior FBI Special Agent-In-Charge, anti-terrorism
legislation was first written during the mid 1980s under President George H.W. Bush. The
legislation was written by attorneys who worked for the US Department of Justice. “One of the
authors, a female attorney, publicly stated that people would have to be killed before Congress
would pass it.”

Thats exactly what happened.
1997 – The US Army published regulations on establishing forced labor prison camps on
US military bases. The regulations are entitled, Civilian Inmate Labor Program, Army
Regulation 210–35. There was some debate about the programs existence but Congressman Bill
Hefner confirmed the existence in a letter on March 24, 1997. He wrote: “Enclosed is the
information you requested pertaining to the Army's policy and guidance for establishing civilian
inmate labor programs and civilian prison camps on Army installations. This information has not
yet been published, however, it has been funded, staffed, and does reflect current Army
policy.”
1383
Congressman Henry Gonzalez also confirmed the program in an interview. He stated: “...
the truth is yes -- you do have these standby provisions, and the plans are here... whereby you
could, in the name of stopping terrorism... evoke the military and arrest Americans and put them
in detention camps.”

2001 – The US Army's Military Police Internment/Resettlement Operations (I/R), Army
Field Manual 3-19.40 was updated. The new manual superseded FM 19-40, dated February 27,
1976, and FM 19-60, dated May 27, 1986. “The objectives of I/R operations are to process,
handle, care for, account for, and secure” Enemy Prisoners of War, Civilian Internees (these
include those who pose security risks), Retained Persons (Enemy Non-Combatant), Dislocated
Civilians, Other Detainees (somebody not fitting into any of these categories), and Military
