Well now. King george has spoken and things are getting decidedly more interesting. I didn’t actually listen to his latest speech. My gag reflex is much too strong for me to control. But a friend who is more masochistic than I, did listen and told me that king georges solution to future natural disasters was-guess what? Beefed up civilian emergency response teams? Nope. Stockpiling food, water, blankets, medical supplies, electrical generators? Nope. Strengthening Americas vulnerable infrastructure, such as levees, highways, emergency care facilities? Get out of here with that weak crap. He wants to loosen the fetters on the military, to allow them to act against civilians, which they are presently forbidden to do by the us constitution and posse comitus act. All this in order to prevent looting and protect private property. You got that?

His priorities are crystal clear. People don’t matter. Protecting Private property comes first. And keeping the public order. You haf papers? You vill show me your papers- now. Better start practicing your german folks. The next step towards a fascist police state is right around the corner.

The truly suspicious might question this latest sequence of events. It sure smacks of that old formula of manufacturing a problem then creating a solution to your problem that just conveniently furthers your true agenda. First we have a natural disaster. A hurricane hits the gulf coast. God’s work, right? Except it’s the strongest hurricane that ever hit the American mainland. And there is that bothersome rumor about the Haarp project up in Alaska having as one if its primary functions the ability to modify and alter weather patterns in targeted areas. Was hurricane Katrina altered by the harp project, either in direction or force? I don’t want to go that far. You can if you want. Then there are the curious rumors that the new Orleans levees had a bit of help in breaking. Again, that’s pretty far out speculation. Don’t know if I want to go there either. But isn’t it a bit curious how prepared the bush cabal was to put their unique and self serving spin on the whole mess? Problem: Disaster in new Orleans? Solution? We need to surrender more of our rights and liberties by allowing the military more power over us. Forget posse comitus, the bill of rights and the us constitution. We need to be safe from our own suddenly starving, thirsty, and homeless poor people. And oh yeah, just in case you care, most of them are black.

A brief look at recent history: A federal building was bombed in oak city and the bush crowd had fascist liberty restricting legislation all ready for the signing. The world trade towers are destroyed and the bush cabal has the usa patriot act all ready for the signing. Now god visits new Orleans and the bush cabal has no food, no water, no blankets, no portable shelters, no medical supplies, no emergency electrical generators, and no plans to stockpile any. But they do have plans for detention-excuse me refugee camps, and they now want to unleash the us military from their constitutional fetters so the military can act in future disasters. But its for our own good, so we should be happy. You do understand that don’t you? So shut up and be happy.

Whats wrong with this picture? Well for starters, the basic premise that the us military is at all prepared to help civilians in need. Anyone of you ever served in the military/ how much training did you get in helping citizens during a disaster? Answer: zero. You were trained to kill, or be a part of a killing machine. That’s what the military is, a killing machine. Anyone ever hear of iraq? Isn’t our military doing a splendid job over there, winning the hearts and minds of Iraqis with their skills at interacting with frightened civilians while rebuilding their infrastructure? For those of you who haven’t noticed, our military is trained to kill people, not help them. Both in iraq and new Orleans our military controls crowds by firing weapons, sometimes first over their heads, and if that doesn’t work, then directly at them. If our young kids on the front line are untrained or frightened, plan a goes out the window and they begin by firing directly at the crowd. In case you haven’t noticed, that’s not perceived by the people being shot at as terribly helpful to their situation. It does protect private property, in the short run at least. Problem being, after you have pissed off the locals sufficiently, they rebel, fight back byn the means at their disposal, and then the military response is simple and brutal: destroy the area from a safe distance with artillery and bombs. That appears to contradict the priority of protecting private property until you ask two embarrassing questions: 1- whose private property? And 2- who gets paid the lucrative contracts to rebuild what our military has just destroyed? And if you then factor in the recent supreme court decision that govt can now confiscate private property in order to turn it over to land developers, with the municipal govt gaining increased taxes from the increased value and revenue of the properties, well now, maybe the disaster in new Orleans has a happy ending, if you are a wealthy land developer who’s goal is to become even more wealthy. Urban renewal, courtesy of ma nature, soon with help from the us military. Nazi germany came about in exactly this same fashion, one step at a time. Every thing the Nazis did was legal. They passed a law, they then followed that law. They passed another law, they then followed that law. Notice any parallels? Notice your rights and liberties disappearing, each step the logical solution to a perceived and perhaps manufactured problem? Wake up America. Its happening here.

Now, im not saying there is a conspiracy here. Heavens no. im just watching whats unfolding before our eyes. If its not a plan, why is the bush crowd seemingly so unprepared to react to every emergency but always seem to have legislation prepared to purportedly help us thru the next emergency. Was it ben franklin who warned us that those who are willing to give up liberty for promised security deserve and will obtain neither?

If king george were at all interested in preparing America to deal with natural disaster or terrorist attacks he would be creating civilian response teams and stockpiling emergency materials. Instead, he proposes unleashing the military against us citizens. Yeah george.
