Mad Rant: The US Goes SS

Conspiracy theories seem to be all the rage in recent years on both sides of the political isle.

Liberals shouted that 9-11 was an "inside" job and lately conservatives have been shouting that Obama is not really a US citizen. Liberals who once went into orbit at the mere mention of the name "Haliburton" see nothing wrong with Obama's refusal to make his birth certificate public or with his Secretary of Homeland Security categorizing anyone who opposes such things as abortion, gay marriage, illegal immigration or one world government as a "right-wing extremist". Lately there was another fuss made about the construction of FEMA camps across the country, supposedly to be ready in case of any disasters like a hurricane or an outbreak of swine flu. Well, now there is an even bigger story making the rounds.

This article on WorldNetDaily gives the details and evidence. It seems the U.S. Army and National Guard have been advertising for "Internment/Resettlement Specialists" to work at internment/resettlement camps located throughout the country and on U.S. military bases. The Department of Defense claims to know nothing about it, yet the ads are right there for all to see on the official US Army website, the National Guard website and the popular job search-engine Monster.com. So what are we to think? Am I still a member of the tin-foil hat brigade for thinking that something smells wrotten in Denmark when the US military starts to advertise for recruits to be potential concentration camp guards? Maybe I would not be so sensitive on the subject had not my President's own Internal Security Chief categorized me as a potential terrorist for being against communism, opposing Obama's policies and not being in love with the idea of world government!

If anyone can look at the evidence provided and not feel just the slightest bit creeped out about it I will gladly admit that there is something wrong with me. I have made peace with that long ago. If the "sane" people consider this sort of thing okey-dokey I'm perfectly happy to be counted among the insane. I will admit it. I am deranged, I am a right-wing extremist, I am paranoid and I am ... The Mad Monarchist.
