Lot of idiots in this thread.
Rex 84, short for
Readiness Exercise 1984, was a
classified "scenario and drill" developed by the
United States federal government to suspend the
United States Constitution, declare
martial law, place military commanders in charge of state and local governments, and detain large numbers of
American citizens who are deemed to be "
national security threats", in the event that the President declares a "
State of National Emergency". The plan states, events causing such a declaration would be widespread U.S. opposition to a U.S. military invasion abroad, such as if the United States were to directly invade
Central America.
[1][2][3][4][5] To combat what the government perceived as "subversive activities", the plan also authorized the military to direct ordered movements of civilian populations at state and regional levels.

Rex 84 was written by Lieutenant Colonel
Oliver North, who was both
National Security Council White House Aide, and NSC liaison to the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and
John Brinkerhoff, the deputy director of "national preparedness" programs for the FEMA.
They patterned the plan on a 1970 report written by FEMA chief Louis Giuffrida, at the Army War College, which proposed the detention of up to 21 million "American Negroes", if there were a black militant uprising in the United States.
