Bush blackmailed Blanco to relinquish control over NG

Postby Qutb » Sat Sep 10, 2005 11:00 am

Interesting thread on <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4715924" target="top">Democratic Underground</a><!--EZCODE LINK END-->, with NPR audio links:<br><br>Shocking!! on NPR<br>A must hear ... especially what took place during the 90 min mtg between Blanco, Nagin and Bush onboard Airforce One, during which GW said "I'll send in the troops if you answer to the WH".<br><br>NPR-Brief on Katrina Timeline: Unexecuted Plans<br><br>All Things Considered, September 9, 2005 · Just days before Hurricane Katrina hit, officials from state, local and federal agencies were hearing that this could very likely be the big one -- the one they knew could devastate the city.<br><br>They spent the weekend in almost non-stop conference calls -- making sure all the plans for food, water and security were in place. But even before the storm hit, some of the plans started to fall apart. <br><br>National Guard troops in other states sat ready, waiting for orders that never came. Instead, they were told to wait for an official plan and a chain of command to be established. NPR's Daniel Zwerdling and Laura Sullivan report.<br>....<br><br>Nothing Without Hope has posted many interesting links on the thread. Here's a quote:<br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>A senior administration official said that Bush has clear legal authority to federalize National Guard units to quell civil disturbances under the Insurrection Act and will continue to try to unify the chains of command that are split among the president, the Louisiana governor and the New Orleans mayor.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> <p><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:black;font-family:century gothic;font-size:x-small;"><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Qutb means "axis," "pole," "the center," which contains the periphery or is present in it.

From the horse's mouth indeed

Postby Qutb » Sat Sep 10, 2005 1:10 pm

Anti, what has been revealed in that quote does indeed appear to be the key to this whole ordeal. They wanted to federalize the operation. To set a precedent, prepare the military for their new role, and the public for the new, domestic role of the military. They seized the opportunity. And to do that, they needed an "insurection". That's why people were kept in the Superdome, under close police/military surveillance, and why the police/military refused to help or even talk with the "refugees" there, and why they weren't given food, water and medicines and were prohibited from leaving on their own... Without a doubt, they had hoped that a violent reaction to the "insurection" would lead to riots elsewhere and a spreading of the racial/political/class tensions.<br><br>Thanks to Gov. Blanco, they didn't get what they wanted. This time. <p><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:black;font-family:century gothic;font-size:x-small;"><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Qutb means "axis," "pole," "the center," which contains the periphery or is present in it.

German Plane With Katrina Aid Turned Back

Without a doubt, they had hoped that a violent reaction to the "insurection" would lead to riots elsewhere and a spreading of the racial/political/class tensions."<br><br>***<br><br>I concur -- That's the best-fit answer to all of the incredible, astonishing events we'ver seen in what is clearly an engineered breakdown in command and control, especially noteable in the gross inconsistencies and contradictions between what 'officials' esp. N.O. Police and Federal/FEMA have said and what they've actually done. Big Foot's revelations about SWAT-type <br>Police 'monitoring' the Convention Center from across the street and what has been reported about N.O. Police maintaining the perimeter, and the tight area lockdown that prevented people from walking out on their own, and esp. the total food, water, medical aid and (especially!) INFORMATION blockade could ONLY have been intentional, obviously for purposes of creating optimal conditions for a full-on riot/insurrection.<br><br>What boggles my mind is the extent that, apparently, most of American society apparently remains blind and dumb to what's going on, and that so many police, military, rescue, first-responders, rescue-volunteers, National Guard and Army Troops etc. are SO unaware of the bigger scheme that they've become tools of the Illegitimate Faux Government (IFG: How does 'that' work as a label for the corrupt necon-NWO PTB?)<br><br>There are SO many signs and indications of something absolutely horrid, ugly and downright scary, the goddamn large SCALE is freaky of this evident scam to create and exploit a class-divide schism that is being propagandized on a below-the-radar sub-channel off the mainstream wavelength -- <br><br>Astute observers have noted that this administration uses crisis as their strategy for manipulating public attention and opinion, and by which they avoid accountability for their legacy of disasterous policies and massive pillaging of the public treasury, of their cronyism and blackmail-threat-bribery 'management' style, of sidestepping accountability and manufacturing endless excuses for their many, many failures. It's almost too abhorant for words.<br><br>The targetted evacuation of remaining N.O. survivors, esp. in areas that aren't inundated in water, frankly stinks bigtime. Those people who are high-and-dry, coping with the situation and making their own local support networks, are HARDLY impeding or holding-up the clean-up and rebuilding of the city -- and too, isn't there an enormous hypocrisy being shown when the more affluent, rich neighborhoods aren't being evacuated -- OR disarmed! Talk about in-your-face double standards. And that's ANOTHER issue the newsmedia isn't addressed.<br><br>SO many idiocies and failures, many which have caused incalculable suffering and death -- those responsible SHOULD be held to account and busted for their criminal negligence and misfeasance. But the newsmedia now have been put into damage-control and disinfo full-time now, creating hero-status figures and distracting attention from or outright covering-up truly appalling stories -- as claiming 'no children' were injured at the Convention Center, which directly contradicts eyewitness testimony.<br><br>And so, what -- 50,000 armed troops in N.O. now, doing WHAT, exactly? the 82 Airborne is in N.O. , while almost half of Lousianna's National Gueard are in Iraq -- This supreme irony of course, as was pointed out, makes it easier for out-of-state troops to follow shoot-to-kill and total lack-down orders.<br><br>And another stupidity, perhaps deliberate -- the 'officials' are making no concessions to allow folks to evacuate with their pets -- of COURSE a lot of folks would NEVER leave their pets! What a supreme show of arrogant, inconsiderate contempt. But then, THAT'S the true face of what passes for US Gummint today.<br><br>DamN them to HELL.<br>Starman <p></p><i></i>
