Painfull Lessons of Hurricane Katrina

The Painful Lessons Of Hurricane Katrina

Government can't, won't protect you

One year after Hurricane Katrina and the
lessons remain painfully clear - the event paved the way for the standard
government response to a crisis - sabotage the rescue efforts, dominate
and enslave the victims, then reap the windfall from the tragedy.

Katrina was a trial balloon for widespread
gun confiscation under the pretext of a crisis. Following the
police chief's announcement that nobody would be "allowed" to
be armed - re-writing the 2nd amendment in one sentence - police, national
guard and private security thugs began confiscating firearms from owners
whose homes were completely undamaged and unaffected by the hurricane in
the high and dry areas of the city of New Orleans.

The New
York Times reported that the only people allowed to keep their
guns were the security squads that had been hired by wealthier residents
of New Orleans, which was totally misleading because 99% of these thugs
were hired by the federal government. A few billionaires with mansions were
able to afford the security but the middle class were not. This report gave
the impression that the middle class were not being targeted for gun confiscation
and so those readers were put back to sleep.

Katrina was another example of what FEMA
does best - deliberately
sabotages a crisis and leaves people for dead. Jefferson Parish
President Aaron Broussard's memorable emotional plea on Meet the Press went
right to the heart of what FEMA were doing.

"We had Wal-Mart deliver three trucks
of water, trailer trucks of water. FEMA turned them back. They said we didn't
need them. This was a week ago. FEMA--we had 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel
on a Coast Guard vessel docked in my parish. The Coast Guard said, "Come
get the fuel right away." When we got there with our trucks, they got
a word. "FEMA says don't give you the fuel." Yesterday--yesterday--FEMA
comes in and cuts all of our emergency communication lines. They cut them
without notice. Our sheriff, Harry Lee, goes back in, he reconnects the
line. He posts armed guards on our line and says, "No one is getting
near these lines."

Why would FEMA make an already terrible
situation worse? Because after every purposefully botched rescue effort
that is whitewashed as a lack of resources, FEMA get more funding and more
power.

The agenda in New Orleans was about privatizing
the police state. Although abuses regularly occur, law enforcement are at
least supposed to operate within the realms of the constitution, a definition
that can be shifted when private mercenaries are hired to dominate the population
- as happened in New Orleans where we saw Blackwater security and even Israeli
troops pointing guns at American citizens.

In addition to the Israelis, armed
Mexican soldiers entered the US for the first time since 1846
to supposedly provide aid. Conditioning Americans to the perception that
foreign troops on US soil policing US citizens in times of emergency is
normal was one of the outcomes of this alarming precedent.

The Army
Times reported that hurricane survivors who wouldn't leave
New Orleans were to be treated as insurgents and that combat operations
to eliminate them were undertaken. This is where the so-called 'relief'
effort was directed towards - treating American citizens like terrorists
and hunting them down simply for wanting to stay in their own homes. And
once they were caught, FEMA treated
evacuees as internees, registering them and giving them ID
cards, preventing them from leaving the internment camps.

The deliberate misappropriation of funds
for the emergency was evident from the start when the first three organizations
on the government recommended donation list were the American Red Cross,
Pat Robertson and Bnai Brith. What a choice! The American Red Cross seize
on any disaster as a cash cow the first chance they get as we have previously
documented.

Then came Halliburton Brown and Root no
bid reconstruction contracts and outsourcing of body recoveries
to scandal
ridden companies connected to the Bush family who had been
caught dumping bodies in the past.

The US government already has developed
technology enabling control and reduction of hurricanes but rather than
seeking to use it to help people they are only interested in using it as
a weapon. Former Naval physicist Ben Livingston briefed
President Lyndon B. Johnson on hurricane control technology
40 years ago.

As Bush fiddled with a guitar in a staged
photo-op and his wife
called the hurricane 'Corrina' in interviews, the rest of his
Neo-Con cheerleading gaggle crawled out of the woodwork to attack the victims
of the tragedy.

The statements sent spewing from the frothing
mouths of the Neo-Cons again betrayed the fact that they were completely
devoid of any rational human feelings or grip
on reality.

Barbara
Bush said the victims were better off after the hurricane
than they were before it.

Tom
Delay said being forcibly detained in prison camp facilities
was kind of fun.

Glenn
Beck, the talk show host, said that hurricane victims were
scumbags and saying he hated the 9/11 families.

Immediately after 9/11 when we questioned the official
version of events these were the same people who were called us crass, insensitive,
and an insult to the family members. Now they were the ones calling the
same family members scumbags.

Michael
Chertoff called Louisiana a city.

Dick
Cheney said the hurricane victims were thankful for what the
federal government had done to them.

The bottom line on Katrina is that whether
you believe it was all incompetence or part incompetence and part malevolence,
the lasting pretext is the same. When a disaster takes place, you have no
rights and the federal government can arrest you if you don’t follow
their every order.

In creating a permanent state of emergency
as the Bush administration has attempted to do, this mandates a pervasive
and permanent state of martial law where constitutionally guaranteed rights
are suspended and rule by force applies.

The horrific suffering of the residents
of New Orleans which continues to this day underlines a basic truth - government can't protect you, won't protect you and has no intention of protecting
you.

Katrina was the calling card of the New
World Order - misery, suffering, death, authoritarianism, police state and
finally the elitists cashing their chips in on the devastation.
