VLVL2 (15): REX 84

[Dave Monroe]

"Nobody, Roy confessed, knew what Brock Vond was up
to, beyond some connection with Reagan's so-called
readiness exercise, code-named REX 84--or maybe it was
just the election year getting to everybody." (VL, Ch.
15, p. 353)


"Reagan's so-called readiness exercise"

August 2, 1984

"...I believe that the draft Executive Order raises
serious substantive and public policy issues that
should be further addressed before this proposal is
submitted to the President. In short I believe that
the role assigned to the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) on the revised Executive Order exceeds
its proper function as a coordinating agency for
emergency preparedness." 

- Attorney General, William French Smith

There over 600 prison camps in the United States, all
fully operational and ready to receive prisoners. They
are all staffed and even surrounded by full-time
guards, but they are all empty. These camps are to be
operated by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency)
should Martial Law need to be implemented in the
United States. 

The Rex 84 Program was established on the reasoning
that if a mass exodus of illegal aliens crossed the
Mexican/US border, they would be quickly rounded up
and detained in detention centers by FEMA. Rex 84
allowed many military bases to be closed down and to
be turned into prisons.

Operation Cable Splicer and Garden Plot are the two
sub programs which will be implemented once the Rex 84
program is initiated for its proper purpose. Garden
Plot is the program to control the population. Cable
Splicer is the program for an orderly takeover of the
state and local governments by the federal government.
FEMA is the executive arm of the coming police state
and thus will head up all operations. The Presidential
Executive Orders already listed on the Federal
Register also are part of the legal framework for this
operation. 

The camps all have railroad facilities as well as
roads leading to and from the detention facilities.
Many also have an airport nearby. The majority of the
camps can house a population of 20,000 prisoners....

Again, from David Thoreen, "The President's Emergency
War Powers and the Erosion of Civil Liberties in
Pynchon's Vineland," Oklahoma City University Law
Review, Vol. 24, No. 3 (Fall 1999), pp. 761-98 ...

   Although Jules Lobel credits The Miami Herald with
breaking, on July 5, 1987, a "national news stories"
revelatory of FEMA, organs of the populist press had
been offering undocumented versions of the story as
early as April 1984. A story by James Harrer in The
Spotlight would attribute its facts only to "two
trustworthy confidential sources--patriotic career
Army officers--stationed at Ft. Benning, Georgia, and
Ft. Chaffee, Arkansas," while alleging that "on April
5 the White House issued a highly classified National
Security Decision Directive (NSDD)111 which sets forth

urgent instructions for the 'activation' of 10 huge
prison camps at key defense commands located across
the nation." The story claimed that "[e]ach one of
these camps is being laid out to hold 25,000 civilian
prisoners," and went on to name ten locations. Two of
the camps were in California: Oakdale ("reportedly for
15,000 detainees"), and Vandenburg Air Force Base.
Although the tone of The Spotlight article, filled
with more than its share of inverted commas ("measures
against political opponents, resisters or even
outspoken critics whom the administration considers
'dangerous"'), is somewhat paranoid, it does mention
the code name "Rex 84," and the broad outlines of
Harrer's story were later confirmed.
     These plans for "detaining" civilians reverberate
with Brock Vond's Political Re-Education Program
(PREP) camp, which is "just about to be put in as a
rider to what would be the Crime Control Act of 1970."

And from Ben Bradlee, Jr., Guts and Glory: The Rise
and Fall of Oliver North (NY: Donald I. Fine, 1988)
...

The affidavit says Rex-84 Bravo was designed to test
FEMA's readiness to assume authority over Department
of Defense personnel, all fifty-state National Guard
forces and a number of "State Defense Force" units
which were to be created by state legislative
enactments. FEMA would "deputize" all DOD and state
National Guard personnel so as to avoid violating the
federal Posse Comitatus Act, which forbids using any
military forces for domestic law enforcement. Then,
the affidavit continued, the exercise was also
designed to test FEMA's ability to carry out a twofold
mission: 
    The first was to find and take into custody some
400,000 undocumented Central American aliens
throughout the United States and to intern them in ten
military bases around the nation. The second was the
distribution by FEMA to the state-created Defense
Forces of hundreds of tons of small arms and
ammunition, ostensibly for use by the law enforcement
"deputies" in keeping the peace during the president's
declared state of national emergency. (p. 133-4)

Maybe Police State Amerika has arrived, maybe it
hasn't, but it is apparently always already ready ...
