Rex 84
Rex 84, short for Readiness Exercise 1984, is
a contingency plan developed by the United
States federal government to suspend the
United States Constitution, declare martial
law, place military commanders in charge of
state and local governments, and detain large
numbers of American citizens who were
deemed to be "national security threats", in
the event that the President declared a "State
of Domestic National Emergency". The plan
stated that events that might cause such a
declaration would be widespread U.S.
opposition to a U.S. military invasion abroad,
such as if the United States were to directly
invade Central America[1][2][3][4][5][6]. To combat what the government perceived as "subversive activities",
the plan also authorized the military to direct ordered movements of civilian populations at state and
regional levels.[7] Rex 84 was written by Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North, who was both the NSC White
House Aide and NSC liaison to FEMA, and John Brinkerhoff, the deputy director of "national
preparedness" programs for FEMA. They patterned the plan on a 1970 report written by FEMA chief
Louis Giuffrida, at the Army War College, which proposed the detention of up to 21 million "American
Negroes", if there were a black militant uprising in the United States. [1] [8] Existence of a master military
contingency plan (of which REX-84 was a part), "Garden Plot" and a similar earlier exercise, "Lantern
Spike" were originally revealed by journalist Ron Ridenhour, who summarized his findings in "Garden
Plot and the New Action Army."[9]

Rex 84 was publicly mentioned during the Iran-Contra Hearings in 1987.[unreliable source?][10][11]

Exercises similar to Rex 84 happen regularly. [12] For example, from 1967 to 1971 the FBI kept a list of
over 100,000 persons to be rounded up as subversive, dubbed the "ADEX" list. [13]

The basic facts about Rex 84 and other contingency planning readiness exercisesand the potential
threat they pose to civil liberties if fully implemented in a real operationare taken seriously by scholars
and civil libertarians.[14]

Bombshell: FEMA Camps
Confirmed
Aaron Dykes

Infowars.com

November 10, 2010

Former Gov. Jesse Ventura and his crew at

Conspiracy Theory have blown the FEMA
camp issue wide open in a truly
groundbreaking episode from the programs
second season on TruTV. The Police State
episode proves once and for all that the feds
have trained to take on American citizens,
planned for riots and disasters and made
preparations to maintain order at any cost.
Tune in this Friday, Nov. 12 at 10 PM
Eastern/ 9 PM Central and leave the denial
at the door. This powerful episode is the
largest and most in-depth investigation into
FEMA camps to date and it is scheduled to
air on television. Radio host and filmmaker
Alex Jones returns to the series yet again, as
the team takes you to confirmed on-the-ground facilities, confronts the legislators who authorized FEMA
camps and breaks down the full-scale technologically-integrated police state that includes Fusion Centers,
FEMA, the Department of Homeland Security and more. At one of many real and verified FEMA
locations, Jesse Ventura and Alex Jones approach a Residential Center run by Homeland Security in
central Texas where they find locked doors, double-fences and escape warnings around the entire
perimeter. Further inside the facility, they witness a playground complex, swings and slides for children.
The crew walks up to the front door and attempts to get some answers. But the officials refuse to either
confirm or deny the facilitys purpose, including whether or
not American citizens are being held inside. However, our
past investigations into this facility reveal that it has confined
both children and adults, including immigrants, refugee
seekers and American citizens. Despite hundreds of
government documents identifying emergency and
contingency plans, including plans to deal with mass
fatalities, insurrection, internment and quarantines, Ventura
and his team repeatedly encounter outrageous denial and
avoidance by officials at every level. The mainstream media
have avoided and downplayed these on-the-record plans for FEMA Camps and Homeland Security
Emergency Facilities for years. Clearly, it is not meant to be a public relations talking point, and it is no
surprise that members of Congress, including those who wrote the bill to create FEMA camps in America,
are reluctant to discuss the matter.

So, Jesse Ventura, former Mayor and Governor, descends upon Washington to confront two important
figures behind H.R. 645, the National Emergency Centers Establishment Act. Despite going through
official channels, Ventura finds that Jim Gerlach (P-Pennsylvania) repeatedly ducks TV cameras and
refuses to answer questions about H.R. 645.

Another Congressman who co-sponsored the bill starkly admits that FEMA camps exist, but rationalizes
that they were put in place to deal with happy children. This bizarre admission is another confirmation
that Congress and the leadership in Washington are out of touch with the oppressive measures that have
been authorized against the American people.

Later, Ventura and Jones visit the Deep South and discover
what appears to be an active cover-up to keep them from the
truth. Outside the Atlanta, Georgia area is another confirmed
location in FEMAs disaster preparation network. They pay a
visit to a facility storing thousands of plastic coffins where
video has already confirmed the coffins in large numbers.
Ventura and Jones discover upon arrival that a convoy of
trucks has just left hauling away the evidence thousands and
thousands of liners the facility wanted to keep out of the way
of cameras and public knowledge. Various plastic coffin
locations affiliated with FEMA, as well as plans for mass
graves and large-scale fatalities, have been previously exposed
and reported upon including photographs sent by an Infowars
listener of an Alabama facility in 2009 with thousands and
thousands of plastic coffin liners. Why then would the officials
in Georgia engage in such a desperate and hurried cover-up?
Further, the plans are already confirmed. DMORT and other divisions of Homeland Security have a
contingency-structure in place to deal with mass fatalities and outbreaks in times of pandemics, natural
disasters, terrorist attacks, national emergency or other disasters. Elements of these plans are in place on
record, and coordinated via the 10 FEMA regions in the United States and via the Fusion Centers that
are popping up at the Federal, State and Local levels all across the nation to spy on ordinary
citizensConcerned about the fact that these programs admittedly monitor returning veterans, Ron Paul,
Bob Barr and Chuck Baldwin supporters and beyond, the TV show contacted a Fusion Center spokesman
to find out more about why they are targeting ordinary Americans. Spokesman Lance Clem told the show
point blank that these domestic intelligence gathering centers have no oversight. Clem shockingly
admitted, We police ourselves.

The shows producers have told Alex behind the scenes that this episode turned out to be the most
exciting from its entire Second Season line-up. It not only confronts the FEMA camp issue head on, but
uncovers significant reason to worry about the actions of Homeland Security and other agencies. At
location after location, it is clear that its administrators are nervous to discuss what they are preparing, but
it is clear from their records and public documents that they are preparing for something big. From
