I believe in the thirties there were unemployed councils that put evictees back in their homes. That would be dynamite if the vets marching to N.O. could do something similar. By they way, I hope there will be some means to blog or otherwise get the news out from the march so that the many of us interested can help spread the word.

Of course the mainstream media, when they comment on this situation at all, is spinning the situation as those clueless people sat on their asses for 5 months, of course they are going to be booted out of the hotels. I guess as long as there is an US vs THEM mentality, people won’t see the full picture. THEM is US. If not today, possibly next year.

I’d like to know what anyone is actively doing to help re-integrate people back into US society. Folks who don’t have the resources to do it themselves. What about recreating social networks and job assistance? People should count themselves lucky if they can re-engineer their whole lives in less than 6 months after losing both physical goods and support network. Isn’t that what a safety net is supposed to do?

I’m no lefty and I’m not at a loss about what’s going on here. It’s a free trial run for our National Guard. Can’t you see? The government does this in whatever benign name (unless you are a roundupee) but it’s practice. Today it’s some poor black family that’s outlived their welcome and someday it’s anyone else who’s ideas are definitely not welcome.
It is not the Guard that is at fault, it’s the leadership but who can say “No way, I’m not putting those guys on a bus in the middle of the night?” And if you are a true believer than how different are you than a 1936 true believer in Germany?
It makes me examine my actions and my conscience. It makes me sick and very scared and it’s happening right under our eyes in the dark of the night.

The government don’t give a damn about people, particularly poor folk. And when all the poor folk are dead, these assholes will have to water their own lawns, do their own dishes and wonder what in hell they’ve done….to themselves. That’s their first and only thought in any event.

There are a lot of historical links to what’s unfolding in the wake of hurricane Katrina.

This isn’t the first time that governments have gone that extra step of attempting land grabs and relocating it’s own citizens.

The Bush administration is bent on imposing a security state and they have generations of miseducated people with lax critical skills as voters to help them do it.

This is so depressing and scary that I am at a loss. Where are these people being bussed to? Are they being dropped off somewhere or taken to those detention camps that have been built all over?

How do we find out?
