Michael Ruppert: the deeper reason for the FEMA failure
Edited on Tue Sep-06-05 04:27 PM by pberq
I knew there was a piece missing to this puzzle. Something just didn't make sense. Leave it to Michael Ruppert to explain things: Now FEMA will be given much more money, made a separte agency, etc. Why? See below.

<snip>
. . .Intelligent critics from both left and right have for years painstakingly documented FEMA’s paramount leadership role in Continuity of Government (COG) operations and planning. Better described, COG is what will happen if Congress is nuked, if a major catastrophe makes “normal” government operations impossible, or if there is major civil unrest (or total economic collapse). Much of FEMA’s infrastructure is really dedicated to this task and not to disaster relief. The COG function and authority has been greatly expanded since 9/11. At FTW we have written about FEMA many times and discussed it at length in my book Crossing The Rubicon: The Decline of the American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil.

There is no shortage of verifiable government records confirming all this including about two score Executive Orders, The Patriot Act, The Homeland Security Bill, and a couple of pieces of legislation having to do with biological warfare enacted in the post-9/11 climate. COG work was initially begun way back in the late 1970s, and involved early input from the likes of Iran-Contra criminal Oliver North. That’s where FEMA actually came from.

If this thinking is not curtailed, then as the economic collapse of the United States becomes ever harder to conceal, FEMA will have been given a green light to impose the most draconian and heartless of measures in our country. FEMA will have the ability to divide the US up into ten autonomous regions, independently governed. Denver will be key to that decentralization and I note with irony that the CIA recently announced it was moving its National Resources (formerly Domestic Operations) Division to Denver (Washington Post, May 5, 2005) . FEMA will have the authority to confiscate any private property, food, medicine, personal vehicles, water supplies and even to impress citizens into forced labor and relocation as needed. FEMA will be able to override all local governments in a declared national emergency, quarantine neighborhoods and compel people to receive untested (for efficacy) vaccinations of drugs which may be dangerous (remember the smallpox vaccines?) and which will only enrich the pharmaceutical companies. FEMA will have the authority to confiscate firearms and gold held by private individuals. The government records proving what I say here are available in abundance and have been widely circulated over the internet for years. The little that remains of our Bill of Rights will simply cease to exist with a Code Red terror alert or another Katrina. And global warming makes another Katrina somewhere inevitable.

In short, what is being set up here is a massive, misguided and stupid effort to take convenient retribution for Katrina in a way that only ensures the more rapid demise of this once great nation. Do not put the blame on FEMA or believe that giving FEMA more money and power will solve anything. Too many of the bad decisions which cost lives in New Orleans, Mississippi, and Alabama were made at the White House, probably by Dick Cheney who has yet to make a public appearance. Condi’s been too busy shopping for $7,000 shoes in New York to do anything. . . (more)

1. More from the article
http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/090605_greeks_gifts.shtml

<snip>
The poor, distressed, homeless people out there, the ones who have lost families, all physical belongings and, in some cases, their sanity, are vulnerable and exploitable and they will continue to be so for years. We cannot afford to let them – and all of us – be sold out one more time in Katrina’s wake. American collapse will be evident soon enough. Simply throwing money and power at FEMA, without at the same addressing the corruption, depravity and outright evil that has become official Washington is probably more dangerous than Katrina was and I sure hope we don’t have to find that out.

2. Denver - Whoa - NWO -- Denver Airport - Art Around the Airport...
this is really scary. When the Denver Airport was being built it was said to have a series of underground rooms. Many sites on the internet that says that the plan was for NWO to base itself in the Denver Airport.

Have you ever walked around the Denver Airport and looked at the murals?

(I have a picture of one of the murals - but don't know how to post it here. Can anyone help me do this.)

You got to see it.

Nazi looking storm trooper with a machine gun with bayonet in one hand and a sinister looking sword killing a dove in the other. Destroyed buildings. Lines of Refugees (grey in color).

3. Posting images
Here is what it says in the FAQs about posting images. I don't understand how this works for an image on your hard drive, though. Maybe someone else can help.

How do I post an image?

There is no special code to post images. All you have to do is type the URL of the image, like so:

If you are using Internet Explorer on a Windows computer, you can find the URL of an image by right-clicking on that image, and then selecting "Properties." Look for where it says "Address (URL)."

5. Denver was designated as the alternative to DC in case of nuclear war
back in the 50's. There is an entire government infrastructure built from Denver to Colorado Springs to Cheyenne Mountain.

7. What is this crap?
If you have been watching TV at all – who hasn’t? – you have also seen former Clinton FEMA Director, James Lee Witt emerging as a knight in white armor saying basically the same thing. Yes, it’s true that under the Clinton administration many of these challenges were better addressed and planned for. But that was before Peak Oil and climate collapse.

Can you hear Hillary and Bill chuckling? The Clinton administration also helped create the greater canvas on which these new brush strokes are being placed. Have you forgotten that Bill Clinton and Bush I are great buddies, traveling the world together? George Herbert Walker Bush just loves Bill Clinton. Why is that?


Gimme a f**king break. Only at "Democratic Underground" do I read such shit. What a bunch of pathetic swill. The reason the Bushies love Clinton is because he has a frikken brain. They happen to need one about now!
