The claim: (67 W62/Minuteman III warheads; 525 W87/MX [Peacekeeper] warheads), Cheyenne, 5,866 (missile field covers an additional 12,600 sq. miles)
What it really is: Francis E. Warren Air Force Base is one of three strategic missile bases in the United States, although many of the original solos have since been destroyed and are in private ownership. The base itself is locate right next to the city of Cheyenne, and is on flat, clear land, which would make it difficult to hide any structures that would be used for a prison camp.
Also, taking a look at it via Google Maps I can't really find anything that resembles a prison camp.

Obama ordered $1 billion worth of disposable coffins for use in FEMA camps? More BS fear mongering.
Recently the old FEMA camp myth has once again reared it's ugly head around internet, this time making it appear that President Obama has ordered $1,000,000,000 worth of "disposable coffins", as you can clearly see from this screen shot below:
And from this article here.
When I was reading the article one of the first things that clued me in that this was just a bunch of BS and anti-government fear mongering were the pictures.
All of these pictures have been spreading around the internet for years now in various conspiracy theorist websites and forums.
Despite what the website wants you to believe, these pictures are actually pretty old. Infact they've been around since the George W. Bush administration, as have these claims.
The pictures were also taken at a storage facility for Vantage, a company that manufactures plastic coffin liners, not some government storage facility. If it was a government storage facility the people who took the photos would most likely not have been given access to the facility for various security and liability reasons, or at the very least they would have been escorted around the facility to make sure they didn't hurt themselves or damage something.
Also, these so called "disposable coffins" are neither disposable nor coffins. They're meant to hold to coffins, and they're meant to stay in the ground for who knows how long.
While some coffin liners are bought by the government for things like military funerals, most of these purchases are made by funeral home to be used in private funerals.
The second thing I noticed about the article was the total lack of any references to back up all the claims made. All there was were some old pictures, an old video from 2 1/2 years ago that shows nothing but a few documents that means nothing and also has no links to the documents that are mentioned, and some ignorant people who clearly do not know that a coffin goes inside a coffin liner, and also makes up some outrageous claims without any sort of documents or evidence to back up these claims.
The fact is that there is nothing new about this story. This type of "story" has been floating around in one form or another for years and predates President Obama.
President Obama didn't order $1,000,000,000 worth of coffins, and Marshall Law is not about about to be implemented. All this is is more classic fear mongering being promoted by people who are very paranoid, or who hate the government, or (usually) both.
