Columbus FEMA Internment Camp - Part 2, The Actual Camp

I was hesitant to post this too soon, but now seems to be the time. Part of iarnuocon's article was true. After reading the numerous articles on the FEMA internment camps, I decided to do some research of my own. I found many lists of the these camps, or rather, I found one list reposted all over the internet. It was rather educating watching how the list changed over time. In the earliest version I could find, Ohio was listed as having three camps: "Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus - FEMA detention facilities." Somewhere along the line, someone added Camp Perry to the list, which is the only Ohio camp for which any information exists. Having been to Camp Perry in the company of many, many heavily armed Patriots, I knew what it looked like, so I focused my search on the other three. Eventually, I found one who posted a map to the Columbus FEMA camp. AHA! Now, we're getting somewhere. So, I print off the map, go grab the camera, and off I go.

We drove past several places that looked more like those in other articles to get to the specified site, but we did eventually find it. It's cleverly disguised to look like a typical upscale Democrat home, but I had the evidence I'd printed off and we were not fooled. As we circled the whole complex shooting pictures the whole way, a few neighbors happened by. They clearly thought we were nuts, but they didn't know what we know. It was obvious a lot of work had gone into this place. Even the fence and the guard dog were disguised to appear completely innocent. Just as we'd finished documenting the place and were about to drive away, someone in an official-looking vehicle pulled up but he was too late.

Now, that having been said, I am not, as far as I know, a part of the Drollhouse. This article was not written as a prank or as a refutation of any other article. I wrote this to illustrate the need for some degree of skepticism in our work. The list of camps that I found was duplicated almost verbatim in literally hundreds of places all over the web, with little or no investigation on the part of it's posters. One of the most common complaints in the uproar over the Drollhouse prank was that it damages the credibility of the Vine as a whole. I would propose instead that those who post on the internet have already done a good job of destroying credibility. How many times have we seen something along the lines of "It has to be true; I read it on the internet"? All I'm saying is, we need to make an effort to ensure that what we're writing as news is in fact accurate.

Do I believe our government is capable of building concentration camps and filling them with Americans. Absolutely. They've done it before, and I have no doubt they'll do it again. Are they currently building such camps in preparation for some upcoming need? Probably. I find it highly unlikely that they've passed the legislation they have and not have taken steps to prepare for its eventual implementation. The laws themselves should be enough to convince us that we need to be making our own preparations. Do they have a camp prepared and waiting for me in Ohio? I don't know, but I've found no evidence of one yet.

(In an intriguing twist sure to fuel the conspiracy discussions, the map that finally led me to "Columbus's camp" isn't showing up any more.)
