If this has been discussed before, my apologies...
If not...WTF? http://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2012/10/fema-ordered-102000-boxcars-with-shackles-2-2482624.html |

Not a single photo from the folks that 'found' the boxcars in Montana. Not a single link or cite other than "my research" and undocumented "van full of eyewitnesses" who were missionaries (and obviously honest because of that).

Holy wall of text that blog could use some paragraphs. Painful to read and really off the deep end of sanity.

So it IS bullshit, then?
And it appears it must have been discussed before. I tried to search for it and also checked with Snopes.com before I even bothered to post it. My research was incomplete. Good to know, all is well. I hate trains.They are too noisy. How about FEMA planes? Will that work better? |

Those look like the same cars that were shown to be for transporting automobiles.

AMTRAK why do you think it is so heavily subsidized but yet it wasn't mobilized to get a whole bunch of NOLA residents out of Hurricane Katrina's path? |

Giving FEMA the benefit of the doubt. I do see a need for this. If there is an earthquake, hurricane, dirty bomb etc........ You need some way to quickly and easily transport prisoners.

As someone pointed out in the posts below the article... a boxcar is between 50 and 90 feet long so lets average it at 70 feet. 70 feet x 102,000 boxcars = 7,140,000 feet or roughly 1,400 miles of train tracks required to just store them. I'm raising the BS flag

Why would they use custom built, specialized train cars that stick out? They'd use regular old boxcars if they wanted to do anything shady

Think about this one OP...FEMA couldn't even get water and food to the victims of Hurricane Sandy...and you think they have the capabilities and the funding to come to your house and several others and round you all up into a boxcar?
Think about cartoons where there are supervillians that want to take over the world...then think about what happens in real life...yeah....

Are there even that many boxcars in the whole US? That's over 1100 MILES of train cars....

I'm raising the BS flag That is what I was thinking, with 102,000 train cars you wouldn't be able to hide them, but also if each car held 400 people (70 feet, both sides, three levels), then they could hold 40 million people or 10% of the US population at one time. |

From Comments: The pictured rail car is an Auto-Max articulated auto rack, meaning it's used to deliver automobiles and light trucks from factory or port to distribution hub. The car is two units with a rubber diaphragm between and a common wheelset (truck) in a design intended to reduce slack between cars.

Gosh who would have thunk that some natural disaster might force the evacuation of a prison? I guess the boxcar of dissidents conspiracy is far more plausible.

How do you know that not getting water & food to them wasn't part of the plan all along?

What happens to our prisons during a hurricane or earthquake etc....? The prison guards will flee and get somewhere safe, but what happens to the prisoners??? They'll break out and wreak havoc in the area, they'll fit right in with all the looting and chaos, good luck finding them later. |

"Recently, a former high level satanist from the mountains of North Carolina, now a Christian and receiving discipleship, admitted that boxcars with shackles were indeed in the mountains of NC and waiting for the hour of martial law. (Asheville, NC) He warned that many Patriots and Christians arrested and secured into these prisoner boxcars under martial law will never even make it to the death camps..that many will be tortured and sacrificed once restrained in these prisoner boxcars."
Now THAT'S the kind of hard, factual, attributed, confirmed, substantiated information that differentiates lunatics from journalists. |
