FEMA and REX 84 camps? Is this a joke?
I cruise the web and sometimes get in sites that are on the fringe for, I dunno, nothing better to do. Can anyone here shed some light on this. I can't seem to find out exactly if these are there. The last time I was at the old internment camp north of Cody. All it had was a monument there, I think I remember a shed or wall with it. But no camp with wires for sure. I have friends that prowl the mountains east of yellowstone for hunting and fishing. I got laughed at for asking if there was anything there.

East Yellowstone - Manned internment facility - Investigating patriots were apprehended by European soldiers speaking in an unknown language. Federal government assumed custody of the persons and arranged their release.
************************************************** *******
Now I have not recieved any feedback from people I trust on this issue as to these being anywhere in the U.S. I have asked some friends all over the U.S. to take a peek at other sites in their areas. So far no one has found them. They seem awful big to hide from local people. Right?
Now I am a ex conspiracy nut. I would like to prove this one untrue, too. I do have friends in Law Inforcement,National Gaurd,Military and even in FEMA. Not one of them can say yes to this one for me.

The WWII Japanese camp is Actually inbetween Ralston and Cody. This would be to the east of cody by about 20 miles or so. There is the monument there and they also have some barracks and what use to be the Hospital/Mess hall building which has a huge chimney visible from the highway. As far as ready for renovation there is nothing there to renovate. The bulidings are just deteriorated skeletons of what once were buildings. Some of the land that was part of the "Japanese Relocation Camp" (I am using the term usely to not offend) is now irrigated farm land. Although I know there is still some governmentally owned land where the monument is and also where the buildings stand I sure don't feel that it can be renovated without completely redoing everything.
I can't think of anything near East Yellowstone. I mean you have Pahaska, Wapiti and thats about it. My family has lived there forever and I have never heard of stories of a camp by East Yellowstone.
I also lived in Southwest Wyoming and have never heard of a previous FEMA detention facility near Lyman. So if there is going to be on there I have a slight feeling that this will be a new addition.

Thanks, I havent been to the camp remains above Cody for probably 12 or 13 years. I didn't remember even that much being there. I had three people get back with me about camps in the east united states that were recently (last couple of years or less) renovated. One even said that there was razor wire aimed inward of the fenced enclosure. But no pics. But that was two out of about 23 people I have asked. Most have got back with me and nothing like the "end of the U.S." people rant. I was just wondering.
I can't believe these camps would go up and no one would have raised alarm.

I read a web page a while off of a forum for my Polaris Outlaw. It was talking about how FEMA can basically and will rule under Marshall Law. How there were detention facilities be built and or renovated. When people when to look at them they saw that the razor wire was pointed in like to keep whatever in instead of pointing out to keep whatever out. It had a lot of talk about the rail system and other things. I will check and see if I can find that link again.

Here's FEMA's charter, the law that governs the organization. They are coordinators for relief during and after disasters, not the military or law enforcement.

The WWII internment camp was south of Douglas Wyoming. It was the Hart Mountain Camp.

Never heard of that. Heart Mountain, the only Wyoming WWII internment camp that I'm aware of, was near Powell. heartmountain

Yes! I read a website talking about this very thing a few years back. I accidentally came across a web page when searching for info about FEMA.
What caught my eye and caused me to keep reading was the part about the rail cars. My husband was a government rail inspector out of DC years back and I was asking him if he knew anything about what the article was describing. I recall that rail cars were painted solid white...no identifying letters of any kind and at that particular time they were being shipped via rail to New Mexico. Regular railroad car inspectors had no jurisdiction over the inspection of these cars and they were "tagged" to indicate that. The article went on to talk about internment camps. Interesting stuff!!! I'd like to read and hear more.

I wonder if what you read had anything to do with the monuments being renovated for the upcoming anniversary of Japanese internment? A group has contacted me to submit a design for a tile mural about that period of time in our history. The piece will be for Washington state.

When I "googled" this topic recently, I read about some of the sites in Southern California. What surprised me is that one of the sites mentioned is a location that I am very familiar with. I work for a municipal utility, and the site mention happens to be one of our facilities. It is part of a reservoir complex. I can say from my own experience with that particular site that it is not being set up as an internment camp for FEMA. I can't say the same about any of the other sites, because I'm not familiar with them, but I am certain about this one.
As I started looking at government sites around the area where I work, I noticed that many of them had chain link fences with barbed wire on top that faced inward. In most cases, I was familiar with the purpose of the facility, so I can't imagine that would be a tell-tale sign that a particular facility is intended for an internment camp. Perhaps it has more to do with property line issues than anything else.
