John Amato: No Escape from The Super Dome

Watching Shepard Smith and Geraldo Rivera proclaim their outrage at what is happening to the poor souls trapped in New Orleans on Hannity and Colmes Friday night, I couldn't help but think of an old movie, John Carpenter's "Escape from New York." It's a film about the city of Manhattan being turned into a Prison Island that's protected by the military and anyone who tries to breach its borders is shot on sight.

That is the plight of the people trapped in the Super Dome. They are locked in a decrepit, rotting structure, without their consent and told to stay there by our government, with no food, water, electricity, surrounded by violence and the screams of hungry babies, yet they are told that they should be patient. Didn't they see President Bush in his nice clean clothes telling the country and NOLA that help is on the way? People are soiling themselves as dead bodies litter the second level, but don't worry. Help is on the way.

Those who work in the 'surface' version of FEMA are ardent, dedicated helpers of
the victims of natural disaster. The concept of an over riding agency to both prepare
for and take care of the victims of natural disaster was an excellent one.

But right from the get-go things went terribly wrong. I remember naively publishing two articles for the FEMA journal back in 1988-9 and suddenly finding myself evicted from the Portland, OR refugee organization because --- they knew that one undercover operation of FEMA was to search out and find refugees hidden by churches and send them to detention camps. Also, right from the get-go, there was the goal and then funding to set up detention camps, mostly throughout the West coast. You betcha, they exist.

Then came the use of FEMA to do black ops. Why did Hurricane Andrew not get
responded to properly? Because so much of FEMA's funding had been used to do
very nefarious deeds. It was a huge scandal that didn't make the mainstream press
and we didn't have blogs and SmirkingChimp, CLG and TruthOut back then.
No, I'm not surprised FEMA is being dismantled. It's functions are already being
transferred to our military, as well as all the funding it should have had. Same for
Army Corps of Engineers and what used to be the Natl Guard.

Watch -- the Navy ships will slowly wend their way to the Gulf with 'aid'. (Those
ships should have been right on the butt-end of the storm and ready to hit the
destroyed beaches running.)And Northcom will step in to make sure no starving
person steals the dead chickens or raids a hog farm.... speaking of ecological
disasters.

But, you saw the post about the White House Econ Advisor saying that Katrina will have a modest economic impact and in fact will be good for the area because it will generate jobs.

Bushco ordered the most violent prisoners in the prisons to be set free to terrorize
the victims of Katrina and so that people watching would think they were all looters
and violent and have less sympathy for the mass murder going on and to have
"Creative  Chaos" so that people will accept a dictator to "restore order".
