Just learned that DC buses (10) are returning empty. FEMA would not

[bribri16]

allow them to transport families from LA. I am getting a source now. Heard it in a local TV report. (DC Channel 4 nbc).

1. sickening!

and to DC no less...

[Catchawave]

2. Didn't they turn away a group that had Jesse Jackson

with them in Alexandria?

[GreenPartyVoter]

3. They REALLY want to break FEMA so they can privatize even further

17. Homeland Security is in charge of FEMA.

This is Homeland Security's fault.

[in_cog_ni_to]

4. Why? I thought Governor Blanco was in charge of LA., not FEMA.

What the hell is going on there?

[DoYouEverWonder]

7. FEMA took control for awhile

but the Governor and Gen Honore are taking it back. That's why things are finally starting to happen. Seemed FEMA did everything they could to hinder operations so that more people would die.

9. Well....

You see... why let the nonprofits get in there and repair things. Want to leave a lot of work for Halliburton to do. More damage to clean up, more profit to be made.

:puke:

12. If FEMA gets to the convoys first, they'll turn them back

I think Blanco needs to have the LANG set up at the state line to escort the convoys to the areas that need them. If FEMA gets in the way, the NG can override any orders FEMA may give.

5. Could you post that into this thread too, it is collecting data on

FEMA's refusal of help. Thanks!

6. What a well-coordinated rescue effort.

[Glimmer of Hope]

8. The news report (NBC4) said FEMA is not oganized enough..

They are not organized enough to send people. The people of DC are so willing and able to help. We are waiting...

[tnlefty]

18. Welcome to DU, Glimmer of Hope!!!

This whole situation enrages and disgusts me more and more!

[GeorgeBushytail]

10. I wish they'd brought survivors to DC to set up Camp Katrina on The Mall

Help build Camp Katrina on The Mall!

11. NYC sent down some buses too, and NYPD and firefighters

If they get the same treatment, Mayor Bloomberg (lifelong Democrat until he had to buy the Republican nomination four years ago) will be in a touchy situation with NYers unless he openly blasts Bush & Co. Up to now he's been reluctant to do so for political reasons, but those same reasons will turn around and on him with those buses in Louisiana.

[bigbrother05]

13. tin foil hat time

I,ve been thinking about this, not allowing buses in or out,not letting the red cross in, the list goes on. I believe it is probably far worse than we can even imagine. The diseases that will become apparent in a week or so, are going to be transmitted all over the country. The government will have to create new vaccines to control the outbreak, will all have to be vaccinated, it will be experimentation on the civilization. Only the strong and politically correct will survive.

[CountAllVotes]

16. no tinfoil hat time

You are right on the money. I believe the same is the case. This is why they are not letting the Red Cross or anyone in. They do not want these people removed for they are contaminated, even if still alive.

I was just reading another thread about the storage facility in a former Leaper Colony in LA. The bodies must be placed on plastic on a cement floor because they are considered to be "bio-hazards".

They don't want to scare the shit out of the American people, this is the reality of what is going on.

Only the strong will survive I agree.

and I quote from another post to be found elsewhere on this site:

<<< ...in several other Native Prophecies also referred to as the 'Night of the Red Sky' points toward something nuclear, IMO.

"The color was that of man, not of Nature, and it had a vile stench and texture. It seemed to burn the Earth wherever it touched"

This seems to point to the ultimate destruction of man by man - the logical conclusion to man's thoughtlessness, selfishness, destructiveness, greed and conquering mentality.

Cause and effect. >>>

I ask is this not what we are now experiencing. Is this the fateful reality coming true?

On edit: Did you see the maps of the hurricane as it approached? IT WAS RED, A BLOOD RED and now the vile stench lives in the Bayou of Louisiana and Mississippi. Holy crap. I fear this is indeed the END.

The "survivors" that have left may be carrying diseases that they do not even know of. And these people are being relocated throughout the entire United States!? That Bayou was never referred to in the ways I heard it to for not a good reason. You got dumped in there, you never emerged. It is a pit of hell, living hell, only made far worse now by what we call "modern man". :puke:

14. They also sent Houston school buses back yesterday

Told them "thanks" and that their help was no longer needed.

They were talking about coach buses, and they were asking when the border patrol would be arriving.

Here are some pics that another DUer took on the highways between LA and TX...amazing photos that confirm empty school buses were heading back to TX., coach buses heading to LA, and a border patrol truck being hauled to LA.

15. ah, I see what their motive was now
