In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful PRESS RELEASE A call to thinkers across the world: Reject Capitalism with its calamities and crises. Here is a Real Alternative... There is an overwhelming opinion amongst politicians, economists and thinkers across the world that the cause behind the ongoing disaster of the economic recession is the ideology of Capitalism itself. Capitalism protects the interests of the capitalists - filling their pockets at the expense of the rest of the people. It has deprived millions of a basic standard of living in order to secure the comforts and luxuries of the capitalists and has divided the world into two: the 5 per cent of people who own more than 80 per cent of the world's wealth and resources and the remaining 95 per cent of the world's population who barely own 20 per cent of the resources.

It calls for the establishment of six national emergency centres in major regions in the US to be located on existing military installations. The stated purpose of the "national emergency centres" is to provide "temporary housing, medical, and humanitarian assistance to individuals and families dislocated due to an emergency or major disaster." In actuality, what we are dealing with are FEMA internment camps. HR 645 states that the camps can be used to "meet other appropriate needs, as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security."There has been virtually no press coverage of HR 645. These "civilian facilities" on US military bases are to be established in cooperation with the US Military. Modelled on Guantanamo, what we are dealing with is the militarization of FEM
