It doesn't mean they are camps but at the same time, playing devil's advocate...i don't think they would openly make something that crazy a secret and draw attention to it or openly say it is/make it obvious that it would be a camp if they were.

Why don;t you get on google earth imaging and check out the mysterious base in central utar.I have studied this area quite alot.Copied photos from google earth from this area and i beleive it some kind of prision camp or consintration camp.Many small buildings circled by many fences.Many under ground bunkers and a area where many shipping containers bus,or trucks were parked but have now vanished.check it out

kill a couple thousand people and you're a murderer.
kill a couple million and your a conquerer.
thats the difference.

Yea I've seen one listed here in Lubbock.

It's so ridiculous that so many of these places have been listed as "FEMA concentration camps" for years, when they're obviously not.

I also LOVE the "FEMA people trains" that are the train cars used to transport cars and trucks from manufacturers to dealers.

I visit this site only so often and don't put a lot of effort into posts so I'm glad someone finally did this.

These people believe they are the '2nd chosen ones'

I live in maine. I too would check these out for myself, but I dont have a vehicle. I admit I don't know where Loring airforce base is (not familiar with 'the county'), but though it may sound stupid, I assume its in a place called Loring? Lol...I did hear though there was a 'fema came' in Houlton. I am not sure if LAB and the 'houlton fema camp' are the same entity. can you clear this up for me?

Anyway, I dont really know what to think about the fema camps. As someone mentioned, regardless of what theyre being used for nowm these could easily be converted into internment camps...

But then again, so could wal marts.

Excellent Topic to the OP! I have wanted to reply to this for a while but I wanted to wait til I visited Loring myself!
Big Hello to all since this is my first post and I wanted to come directly to this thread, sorry for waking it up.

Just got back from Loring today after a weekend trip. I have always wanted to see it for myself, just wish I could have seen it while it was in its prime. I live in central Maine and wanted to explore a few "cold war" relics! I am very satisfied with my trip to Loring but way too short, I plan on going back. I explored some of the base with my vehicle and some on foot. Not sure how much has changed since the OP has been there but the local police tend to not like people too too close to buildings near the flight line, I was questioned twice by police. Once during day and once during about 8 pm at night. They only reason they gave me for stopping me was " I was too close to a "classified flight strip" (grass was growing up through the cracks). They told me to keep on the main roads and I would not have a problem. They took my license and my friends identification also. I did not actually drive or go onto to the flight line.

I also drove around much of the base, most of it is a designated "National Wild Life Refuge"with a big welcome sign, vs State lands as the OP stated. I do not know a lot about NWR's but I guess they are restricted to walk into because after the big welcome sign every other sign was "do not enter- only authorized people-". I have to say that made me a bit curious.

I got the chance to talk to a lot of locals and a few people that were stationed there and to the ones I talked to, they really seem to think it is a bit odd after 16 years people still get hassled when going onto what was the base. One local even told me that a few years back he was fishing in his boat and traveled into the Refuge and was escorted out by uniformed people with arms. Could be a tall tale, not sure and not the only story I got the chance to be told while I was there like that.

Well to get to the topic, I have to agree with the OP in that I do not believe this is a FEMA camp, but I do believe something may be going on there that we are not privy to. The old base is used by a few institutions, a couple of them doing military things and Job Corps and garages and such. Speed tests happen here also, I guess of course they have to get special permission.

Got the chance to take in some awesome history about the base and met some very nice people that miss their base. Got the chance also to see all the potato and broccoli farms! Oh, the old NIKE missile sites where great too! I felt at home on base and brought back some good memories of base life since I was in the Marine Corps at one time.

Base is now called Loring Commerce Center (in the middle of nowhere) and the whole area is called The Aroostook National Wild Life Refuge.

Just cant wait to go back!

Sorry, been awhile since I have posted in forums.

i think some people are over hyping the "FEMA camp" situation.. could those actually be refugee centers in times of crisis? YES okay it does look kind of like a concentration camp not to mention the double fenced gated where it is pointing inwards instead of outwards

"inwards" is telling you that you are aren't leaving.

"outwards" is telling you to keep out.

If you watch videos on Auschwitz you can clearly see the electrified gate pointing inwards.
