So inexcusable that a news story today (at the top of TP) is that the FEMA PR person in charge of this stunt has resigned in order to accept a more lucrative job in National Intelligence.

This is amazing to me. It’s nothing more than a scam. The government didn’t used to try to get away with this kind of thing. Unbelievable.

FEMA is no longer an agency designed to assist victims in times of crisis, in this country. They are, rather, the “tip of the spear” in an effort to manipulate disasters to maximize profit potential for certain corportions, as well as implementing privitization agendas being sought by Freidman Capitalists. They have been doing this since Bush came to power.

Please read this history of FEMA’s crimes:

This fake “press conference” was aired by Faux Snewz as a “real” event, the only news org that had advanced notice of this staged event. Faux Snewz was in on the hoax. Faux Snewz is complicit.

This was a purposeful propaganda move, the only reason any of the Bush Administration officials are “outraged” if because FEMA broke the ~~Mafia~~ ~~Organized Crime~~ Republican Golden Rule:

“Do what the phuck you want, but just don’t phucking get caught.”

“DHS rips FEMAâ€™s propaganda presser as â€˜inexcusable.â€™…FEMA is part of DHS.”

Apparently the right hand, which is cupping the balls, isn’t aware of what the other right hand, stroking the shaft, is doing.

FEMA is run by hacks, no need to blame the DHS, also run by hacks. Your friend is merely playing the blame game, thatâ€™s all Iâ€™m saying. Pass the buck is an old game in the US government, taken to new heights during this admalistration.

I get what you’re saying… Believe me, he has no love for the leadership there. He’s just a peon trying to do his job and gets pissed when no one listens to him. But I guess that’s the nature of Government service, no matter who resides in the White House. The people who actually know what they’re doing are ignored… We know there won’t be any real consequences for the politicals involved, but it’s yet another black eye for the hard-working career employees. That’s the real shameful part of it.

How so? It’s well known that DHS has been trying to sink FEMA since long before Katrina. But it’s DHS that is what’s wrong with FEMA. Let’s make FEMA independent again, get the DHS suits out of the picture and see how our Government is supposed to work… (I imagine FEMA’s independence will be the first order of business for the new Clinton or Obama administration…)

That’s an acceptable question. Can you provide a factual link that would provide us all of this information? Or are you just blathering questions into the void?

An insider I know at FEMA, who happens to be a Dem and a career employee, tells me that it was in fact DHS who forced them to call the press conference on short notice (and would not allow it to be canceled or pushed back even 15 minutes when nobody showed up). The hypocrisy from the folks at the Department is ridiculous. FEMA is an easy target to throw under the bus, no matter what their failings of two years ago. Orders from DHS leadership were to make the administration look good on this one. (Apparently, to DHS, canceling a press conference is taboo — they’d rather run one without any media). To FEMA’s credit, they called press conferences on each of the next two successive days and the media happily showed up. And the questions were still softballs.
