The warnings are over. We are now in an end game.


There is a waiting game going on.

IT is part of the oldest struggle in civilization - class war.
Rescue the rich because the poor are worth less.
Stadium housing is less than 1% of the displaced poor but are ideal for media focus.

Pointing this out is neither remarkable or bemoaning the fact that inaction of a few days can eliminate a large segment of an undesirable element of the population.

Is there money to react? Yes and no.


DHS | Department of Homeland Security | Fact Sheet: US Department ...
Homeland Security budget request totals $41.1 billion, up from $36 billion in 2004.

Where are they after 3 days? Still outside the area of downtown.

Our leader speaks...
President George W. Bush declared that "there will be zero tolerance for looters...
I am Confident you will build your life back up and America will be stronger for it."
.....................................
Humanitarian search and rescue manpower will now be diverted to police enforcement of property laws.

Over 1,200 police are to switch from search and rescue today to battle the pillageing of grocery stores.

The Red Cross says they only have $1 1/2 million dollars to deal with Katrina. Where did the $6 billion in surplus 9-11 funds go?


........................................

Homeland Security chief Chertoff is talking about official survey's, fact finding committees, and data scrutiny before a total deployment of homeland security relief can be undertaken.

It seems if they can only drag their feet another 5 days they should be able to eradicate at least 70% of the extremely poor to thirst and disease.

Deliberate inaction is apparent when the wealthy Tulane University hospital in New Orleans was evacuated by a special National Guard unit but the State Hospital across the street did not get so much as a knock on the door even 3 days later.

The White hotel guests in New Orleans had dozens of private buses take them away much to the consternation of the black residents who were not allowed on board.

This disaster seems to have the post event plans of Iraq.
I am sure with the expertise of Halliburton they can get the electricity up and going within 3 years like they have in Iraq.


Watch the self congratulation speeches made by Chertoff, FEMA and Red Cross chiefs. So far the Salvation Army has done the most good.

Watch carefully as all blame for poor disaster relief will be put on the shoulders of the looters. The poor will be made the scapegoat here.

They will be blamed for lack of food water and generators due to looting. I am seeing only 95% black people in the Superdome fiasco.

The victims will have no spokesperson. Instead we will see only Federal chiefs and Govenors telling the "big story".

You can bet on it.
