Don't think this Downing Street-type memo on FEMA weakness shows incompetence.
The people who died from FEMA's absence in Storm Katrina were killed by The Reagan Revolution against the American people who want peace, not permanent war.
History:
It's important to remember that FEMA wasn't designed to protect the American people. REAGAN AND OLIVER NORTH DESIGNED IT TO PROTECT THE GOVERNMENT FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. We are a militarily occupied nation just like Iraq.
FEMA was designed under California governor and then president Reagan to protect the government FROM 'WE THE PEOPLE.' FEMA was a police-state plan to round up anti-war protesters and "militant negroes" in a time of war as if they were enemies of the state exactly like the Japanese-Americans interned in camps in 1942.

FEMA has only spent about 6 percent of its budget on national emergencies, the bulk of their funding has been used for the construction of secret underground facilities to assure continuity of government in case of a major emergency, foreign or domestic. Executive Order Number 12656 appointed the National Security Council as the principal body that should consider emergency powers. This allows the government to increase domestic intelligence and surveillance of U.S. citizens and would restrict the freedom of movement within the United States and grant the government the right to isolate large groups of civilians. The National Guard could be federalized to seal all borders and take control of U.S. air space and all ports of entry.
General Frank Salzedo, chief of FEMA's Civil Security Division stated in a 1983 conference that he saw FEMA's role as a "new frontier in the protection of individual and governmental leaders from assassination, and of civil and military installations from sabotage and/or attack, as well as prevention of dissident groups from gaining access to U.S. opinion, or a global audience in times of crisis."

A little history on FEMA: " When Ronald Reagan took
over the presidency in 1981 he named his old
California National Guard chief, retired General Louis
Giuffrida as his emergency czar. Giuffrida had a
tainted image as California's National Guard
commander. He drew up lists of 'militant negroes' who
were to be rounded up in emergencies. He designed
'Operation Cable Splicer,' which kept track of
political dissidents in California, especially
anti-Vietnam War protestors. When Giuffrida took over
at FEMA, he began to embark on similar projects. FEMA
began to store some 12,000 names it had obtained from
the FBI's domestic intelligence files. FBI Director
William Webster was so outraged at this interference
in FBI matters he forced FEMA to turn the list back to
the FBI. FEMA's surveillance lists may have included
at least 100,000 U.S.A. citizens that were assumed to
be potential threats to security. These included the
names of survivalists and tax protestors." -- Wayne
Madsen, Handbook of Personal Data Protection, Stockton
Press (NY) and Macmillan (London), 1992.

FEMA's precursor was the California Specialized
Training Institute, a counterterrorism training center
started by then-Governor Ronald Reagan in 1971. Reagan
inaugurated the idea of utilizing the military and law
enforcement to combat dissent. He hired retired
National Guard General Louis O. Giuffrida to design
Operation Cable Splicer. The Cable Splicer plans were
martial law proposals to legitimize the arrest and
detention of anti-Vietnam war activists and other
political dissidents. At the Army War College in 1970,
Guiffrida had written a proposal that advocated the
roundup and transfer to relocation camps of at least
21 million "American Negroes" in the event of a
national uprising.
In 1983, at the annual meeting of the Academy of
Criminal Justice Sciences, FEMA's General Frank S.
Salcedo recommended expanding FEMA's power even
further. As he saw it at least 100,000 U.S. citizens,
from survivalists to tax protesters, were serious
threats to civil security. Salcedo saw FEMA's new
frontier as the protection of industrial and
government leaders from assassination, and the
protection of civil and military installations from
sabotage or attack. Notable for stations such as this
one, Salcedo warned against dissident groups gaining
access to U.S. opinion or a global audience in times
of crisis.
FEMA and the Department of Defense began a continuing
tradition of biannual joint exercises to test civilian
mobilization, civil security emergency and
counterterrorism plans. The Rex-84 Alpha Explan
(Readiness Exercise 1984, Exercise Plan), showed that
FEMA lead 34 other federal agencies, including CIA,
FBI, and US Treasury, in a massive civil readiness
exercise. It was conducted in coordination with "Night
Train 84", a worldwide military command post exercise,
based on multi-emergency scenarios operating both
abroad and at home.
The exercises envisioned that the previously mentioned
100,000 U.S. citizens, labelled "national security
threats" would be rounded up and thrown into
concentration camps.

DRAFT LEGISLATION WOULD SUSPEND CONSTITUTION IN AN
EMERGENCY
WASHINGTON-Attorney General William French Smith
recently voiced his alarm at Federal Emergency
Management Agency Director Louis Giuffrida's proposal
to crown himself the nation's "emergency czar" in the
event of war or natural disaster.
Smith's legal and constitutional sensibillities were
offended by the thought of the civil defense agency
usurping the powers of Cabinet-level departments,
emergency or not.
But the attorney general will be positively stunned
when he learns of Giuffrida.s latest plan. It would
suspend the Constitution and give the president as
much arbitrary power as Hitler or Stalin ever
exercised.
This blueprint for autocracy is in the form of
"standby" legislation drafted by FEMA's eager
empire-builders. That means it won't be submitted to
Congress in advance--when its drastic provisions would
certainly spark debate and draw opposition from
conservatives and civil libertarians alike.
Instead, it is intended to be held on "standby" until
an emergency arises. Then a panicky Congress will
presumably be ready to abdicate its responsibilities
under the Constitution and vote for a dictatorship.
Our associates Donald Goldberg and Indy Badhwar have
seen the draft legislation, which would be titled
disingenously the Defense Resources Act. Here are some
of the specific outrages:
-Private property would be effectively abolished. Real
estate and personal belongings "that shall be deemed
necessary for national defense purposes" would be
confiscated by the government. And there'd be no
haggling or taking it to court.
"Upon or after filing the condemnation petition," the
standby legislation reads, "immediate possession may
be taken and the property may be occupied." There goes
your house. There goes your car. There goes the
neighborhood.
-The bureaucrats at FEMA want to nationalize the means
of production. If a factory owner proves reluctant to
turn out what the bureaucrats dictate, the president
"may take immeidate possession of such plant, mine or
facility and operate it for the production of such
materials or services as may be necessary."
-Just to be fair, FEMA proposes nationalizing labor as
well. The government would be empowered to set limits
on the number of employees in any type of work, and in
fact restrict workers to "activities essential to the
national health, safety or interest."
And if anyone lies to a federal bureaucrat about the
availability of manpower, it'll rate either a $10,000
fine or a one-year hitch in the gulag. The right to
strike will, of course, be revoked. Violators will be
declared felons in the same class as those who try to
overthrow the government.

Meanwhile, in cooperation with the Pentagon and
various federal and local police agencies, CSD engaged
in a series of national training exercises -- "Proud
Saber/Rex-82, "Pre-Nest," and "Rex-84/Night Train,"
etc. -- in preparation for a suspension of the
constitution in case of massive domestic political
turmoil. The exercises envisioned "at least 100,000"
U.S. citizens, identified as "national security
threats" being rounded up and thrown into
concentration camps for unspecified periods.
Simultaneously, FEMA was opening files on the U.S.
activists who would comprise those interned whenever
the exercise plans were put into "real world"
practice. This last placed FEMA in direct conflict
with the FBI, precipitating a power struggle in which
Bureau Director William Sessions ultimately prevailed,
compelling Giuffrida to turn over the more than 12,000
political dossiers his agency had already assembled.

Do you really need anymore information than this to see that 'We the People' are considered enemies of the state?
