Preparing
For Civil War?
US
authorities have for decades become increasingly prepared for mass civil
disturbances resulting from government and corporate attacks on American
society. We can recall that in the early 1980s the Hidden State launched its
open war on the middle class by the savage FED-induced recession and the
unilateral revocation of the social contract that had existed since 1946. At
that time, the US government had already anticipated widespread public unrest,
fully expecting mass protests and riots, and had made preparations to deal with
them in the form of internment camps. In a real sense, the government had
prepared for another civil war.
Like most
of the “Great Transformation”, it began during Reagan’s reign with what was
called “Rex 84”, an abbreviation for Readiness Exercise
1984, a plan by the US government to detain large numbers of American
citizens in case of civil unrest. This master plan involved the FBI, Department
of Defense, the Emergency Measures group, the Secret Service, the CIA and
altogether 34 government agencies.
It was
presented as an exercise to test military assistance in civil defense
in times of national emergency, but in fact the plan was anticipating
civil disturbances, major demonstrations and labor strikes that would affect
continuity of government. The anticipated civil unrest from the FED-induced
financial crisis that devastated the middle class was considered “subversive”,
REX-84 being an authorisation for the US military to implement
government-controlled movements of civilian populations at both state and
regional levels, the arrest of many segments of the American population, and
the imposition of martial law. (1) (2)
