FEMA And REX 84: Circumstances Are Nearly Right To Execute The Plan of Martial Law in the USA

Once again I was stuck when I saw REX 84 in the search trends today. It was followed by feam, fena, fima, fimaa or fema. My first idea was that they are probably talking about some dinosaur like the Bigfoot issue. However, it did not take me long to realize what was going on. To be frank, I was scared. As per wikipedia, Rex 84, short for Readiness Exercise 1984, is a plan by the United States federal government to test their ability to detain large numbers of American citizens in case of civil unrest or national emergency. The Texas state university defines it more elaborately. It says ” In April 1984, President Reagan signed Presidential Directorate Number 54 that allowed FEMA to engage in a secret national “readiness exercise” under the code name of REX 84. The exercise was to test FEMA’s readiness to assume military authority in the event of a “State of Domestic National Emergency” concurrent with the launching of a direct United States military operation in Central America. The plan called for the deputation of U.S. military and National Guard units so that they could legally be used for domestic law enforcement. These units would be assigned to conduct sweeps and take into custody an estimated 400,000 undocumented Central American immigrants in the United States. The immigrants would be interned at 10 detention centers to be set up at military bases throughout the country. REX 84 was so highly guarded that special metal security doors were placed on the fifth floor of the FEMA building in Washington...............
