FEMA concentration camps
From RationalWiki
FEMA, naturally, are the shadow government who will run the show after the puppet government dissolves through a series of executive orders issued by the President. The idea that FEMA could pull off enough of a masterstroke to seize power is surprisingly widespread, considering their massive display of incompetence during Hurricane Katrina.
There are several videos purporting to show footage of the camps, as well as shots of ominous-looking fences and webpages listing locations of over 800 camps, allegedly all fully guarded and staffed full-time despite being completely empty.[1] In addition to the utter implausibility of such a massive conspiracy being kept totally silent, the plausibility of the evidence is damaged somewhat by the fact that the videos and pictures actually depict everything from National Guard training centers to Amtrak repair stations to North Korean labor camps.[2]
The FEMA camp conspiracy theory has been alluded to by Glenn Beck, who to his credit later backpedaled and hosted a debunking segment featuring a government shill guest from Popular Mechanics. Still, the theory remains popular among the survivalist community and remnants of the militia movement, and there's no shortage of adherents on the Internet.
So far the only flaw, in this otherwise brilliantly executed conspiracy, was the mistake of public advertising for jobs to work at the camps.[3] It's always the small details the conspirators slip up on.
It's also an interesting recurring theory, as it was around in the 90s as well, before disappearing after Bush came into office, for some reason.
