Killin' Katrina = Joe and Jackie Normal Proudly Present: CALL and RESPONSE...

JOE'S CALL...


I will check your blog shortly.

But there is major point that you've made in your original blog posting that I feel compelled to bring up: FEMA is an agency that is prepared to handle hurricanes and natural disasters like this one.

What is clear to me is that the FEMA of today is not the same FEMA that dealt with Hurricane Andrew or crises in the past.

First, it has been rolled under Homeland Security - an anti-terrorist focussed department.

Second, its budget has been cut back so much that it has lost its best middle-managers that had the experience of past disaster recovery. Finally, it is being run by a dude who couldn't organize a bunch of arabian horses.

So the question remains: malice or gross incompetence. I think your premise that FEMA is in the business of saving people and could do the job it is set up for is a major assumption. If FEMA was prepared properly and then decided to wait and screw people over, you are right - that would be malice. But they did know, they are run by an idiot who was not prepared - does not know what he is doing and as a result, they are in a state of chaos.

They didn't intend to not respond. They were incapable due to idiocy and misorganization. Telling the Parish that they couldn't do this or that or preventing Wal-Mart from bringing water... I bet they thought they had stuff under control and wanted it done their way (they were control freaks who couldn't delegate, cooperate and work with others). It is amazing to see how FEMA is in such tatters but I think that is the reality.

Bush is to blame for putting these people in charge, for rolling FEMA up into Homeland Security, cut backs to infrastructure spending etc. But this situation is the ulitmate blowback - the ultimate in unintended consequences and since they are not intended, i go back to gross negligence and misrepresentation. Corruption is somewhere in there too but harder to prove.

Saying all this - i have yet to read your response and new blog post and then to watch that film. Will do so later tonight.

BK'S RESPONSE...


so...

tell me: does "2 + 2" still equal "4"? ;)

flip thru my shiznit and holla back, nothing's hard to prove anymore, it's just hard to believe.

for some reason we get really creative about stuff we don't know anything about using the carefully selected table-scraps of info given; then we do more than half the work making excuses for them; and then we end up aggressively selling the story chosen to absolve proven pricks against all the good people who doubt it.

(see: "your" Wal-Mart excuse, not theirs).

i've done the same thing for a few different events, simply tracking the lies as they evolve into our thoughts, and believe me:

we need a complete overhaul of "our" intelligence...


Peace, (NOW!!!)
BK

BONUS: Where are we going?

(You won't believe it but you can't disprove it, and they aren't even making that much money by saying it - no CNN, no Oprah, no Entertainment Tonite, no nuthin' but millions of fans...

So please, "assert" whatever you want in the absence of "proof": I've done my homework, and I'm gonna say it's real as loudly as I can until someone "proves" otherwise...)


"And I heard 'em say,
Nothin's ever promised tommorow today,
From the Chi, like Tim its the Hard-a-way,
So this is in the name of love, like Robert say,
Before you ask me to go get a job today,
Can I at least get a raise on a minimum wage?
And I know the government administer AIDS,
So I guess we just pray like the minister say,
Allahu Akbar, throw 'em some hot cars,
Things we see on the screen, are not ours,
But these niggas from the hood, so these dreams not far,
Where I'm from, the dope boys is the rock stars,
But they can't cop cars, without seein' cop cars,
I guess they want us all behind bars,
I know it...."

Martial Law 9/11: Rise of the Police State (2005)
