Attacks on democratic rights, breaching legal barriers: FEMA and Katrina: REX-84 Revisited
The "Black Curtain" around FEMA's Operations

If you believe the corporate media, FEMA is simply a bungling and inept emergency management agency and its director, Michael Brown, according to the Washington Post, is simply an "accidental director" and "the failed head of an Arabian horse sporting group who was plucked from obscurity to become President Bush's point man for the worst natural disaster in U.S. history" and, as the Boston Globe notes, "got the job through an old college friend who at the time was heading up FEMA.... Brown -- formerly an estates and family lawyer -- this week has made several shocking public admissions, including interviews where he suggested FEMA was unaware of the misery and desperation of refugees stranded at the New Orleans convention center." In short, the corporate media would have us believe Brown is a clueless lawyer and former horse trader and FEMA an unresponsive federal bureaucratic leviathan wrapped up in red tape. But this does not explain the following:

FEMA refused evacuation help from Amtrak; it turned away experienced fire fighters and first responders; it turned back Wal-Mart supply trucks; refused to allow the Red Cross to deliver food; blocked a 500-boat citizen flotilla from delivering aid; turned away generators and other equipment (see this page with links to news stories). In other words, FEMA went out of its way to deny aid and allow people to die from dehydration, starvation, and lack of medicine and medical help. In addition to denying aid, and thus killing an as of yet (and possibly forever) unknown number of people, FEMA is attempting to control media access to the worst natural disaster in American history (see Journalist Groups Protest FEMA Ban on Photos of Dead). Moreover, journalists and photographers have been assaulted by troops and had their notebooks and cameras confiscated (see The Eye of the Hurricane by Matthias Gebauer).

fema would first have to take out the courts and state govt to declare martial law.


Hurricane Katrina
Contrary to many media reports, martial law has not been declared in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, because no such term exists in Louisiana state law[4]. Rather, a state of emergency has been declared, which does give some powers similar to that of martial law. On the evening of August 31, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin did declare "martial law" (in name at least) in the city and said that "officers don't have to worry about civil rights and Miranda rights in stopping the looters." Another common rule during riots and disasters is a curfew from sunset until sunrise. [5]

Can I Quote You On That?

I just googled "I just got back from a fema detention camp" and abovetopsecret.com/forum/fema is number one.

The difference is the quotes. If you put quotes around the entire search phrase, Google will return only those links which match the phrase exactly.

Yet Another Interesting Googlism.

And for good reasons. Sound managment under difficult
conditions friend.
Rapes, murders and crime has allready risen in areas which
are housing the Katrina refugees. Representatives of the
NAACP are attempting to convince the local communities to
embrace these people. Degradation of American values,
security, overall public health, social values are under
now under attack.
Now that they have been uprooted by Katrina into Houston
one can only brace for a new flood of social destruction.
Public knowledge of the NAACP looting and vandalism within
the hurricane effected areas has come to light. Attempts
to establish a new foothold in refugee areas by their own
radio station broadcasting thier political agendas has
been eliminated by FEMA.
"The project was unplugged even though it had key
support. On Monday, the Federal Communications Commission
quickly granted temporary licenses to broadcast inside the
Astrodome and the adjacent Reliant Center. The station
was also backed by the Houston Mayor's office and Texas
governor Rick Perry. But local officials said FEMA
bureaucrats KO'd the station-dubbed KAMP "Dome City
Radio"-because of "security concerns."
Common sense has again prevailed to protect Americans
from a new threat. Who could have forseen a domestic
threat emerge from a natural disaster. Generations of
people with criminal intent have been confined to this
area which was destroyed by Katrina. Lack of economic
opportunity provided a actual barrier for these people
to be restricted from our society.
I ask, How long after the storm subsided did it take
for these people to emerge only to attack the very own
areas they live in?
Relief workers were attacked and came under gunfire
which was revealed on worldwide news as they attempted
to enter affected areas. Thankfully proper action was
taken to protect these hardworkers of humanity from harm.
Beware of efforts from the NAACP to socially santize
surrounding areas housing Katrina refugees for the
emergence of violence and crime.
