STOP OCCUPATION OF NEW OPRLEANS: Pump out the Toxic Water !
STOP OCCUPATION OF NEW ORLEANS : This is not Iraq
FARHAT QUAM MAQUAMI
Believe it or not one the most important historical cities in America is being condemned because of the US Empire’s inability, unwillingness and inaptitude in bringing pumps to the city. This is a Pump less Empire! George Bush who has spent over 200 Billions of dollars in Iraq occupation, chasing the illusive WMD, is contaminating New Orleans with WMD cocktails. Is he doing this out of utter ignorance or there is a conspiracy to destroy the city to put Hallirburton and other Bush supporters in charge of massive clean-up projects and rebuilding of the city!
That is why the Occupation force does not have pumps! To make the matter worse all the three working pumps are dumping the toxic waste into the Lake Pontchartrain which would cause the worst environmental disaster in America after Love Canal.
Dick Cheney Declared the occupation as an “Enormous Success” as the city rots under toxic waste that his occupation force failed to pump out. It is Baghdad all over again! Bush Administration until now has refused to let local citizens, or a volunteer force of hundreds of fireman and other flood specialist to enter the city to pump the water out. Out of the 27 giant city pumps only 3 are working. The responsibility falls directly on the chain of command. Therefore, all fingers must be pointed at the White House, and the Department of Homeland Security. They not only failed to secure New Orleans, but failed to supply pumps to drain the water into the canals. Their inaction turn a local disaster to a national catastrophe.
The Mayor should be charged with negligent homicide of hundreds Nursing home victims. He might be criminally responsible for death of thousands of people and destruction of their properties.
Why the media does not pay attention to the fact that the Administration did not want to save New Orleans, that is why they did not mobilize a force of mobile Pumps or bring portable generators to get the pumps running. Instead they came with an occupation force who forcibly removed the residents and put the city under siege. Why did the Bush administration treated the citizens of New Orleans like enemies to be conquered? Or, a territory to be "secured"? Bush administration went after New Orleans as if it was Somalia or Iraq. They went with Maximum force of armed troops with shot to kill orders. Instead of food, pump units, the helpless citizens were faced with armed counter-insurgency units, as if they were Talibans. That is why the water changed to sewage and raw sewage mixed with decomposing bodies and household toxic materials transformed into poisonous black contaminated toxic stew of WMD.
They did not go with experience Firemen, Water Department specialists, Phone company and Cable company experts that are specialist, with giant truck mounted pumps that suck everything out of the ground. They are the flooding specialists. The Bush administration betrayed the well behaved civilian population of New Orleans and did not mobilize neither a vast contingent of fire trucks to pump the water nor installed mobile pumps to suck the water and save the city. Even,14 days after Katrina, only four of the cities 24 pumps are working and the rest are sitting idle waiting to be repaired. Their policy is let the city rots under the toxic water because Hallirburton has been called to fix it.
The Empire does not want pumps. The more damage to the city the profit for corporations connected to Bush and Cheney. Had they drained the city Bush & Co. would not have gotten the contracts under the State of Emergency.
Neo-Cons went to secure and pacify the city for Hallirburton and not to save it for its citizens. The sick mentality of the Bush administration made New Orleans an Occupied Territory”! Brig. Gen. Gary Jones, Commander of the Louisiana National Guard’s Joint Task Force told the Army Times last Friday :
“This place is going to look like Little Somalia,” as hundreds of armed troops under his charge prepared to launch a massive attack to regain the city! They found only dead bodies and helpless people that private agencies and good Samaritans were trying to help. No rebels, no massive gangs looting the houses! Except what normally happens in any major cities in the USA.
It is clear that right from the start this was not a campaign to save the city and its citizens, otherwise FEMA would have got the pumps working. Or, they would have mobilized hundreds of mobile pump trucks! No wonder they uprooted the proud people of New Orleans and changed them into refugees in their own land, just to occupy the city.
It is the chain of command that must accept responsibility not a lowly FEMA director who was just following the policy. The blame lies on Bush's Policy and we cannot put it on ignorance, stupidity, disorganization of those who were just following the policy, like the FEMA Director. All were acting according to the State Department hand book written by Pascual,, the head of the Office of the Coordinator for Reconstruction and Stabilization, in 2004. Simply put how destroy and where to destroy in order to get easy money for Reconstruction. Make money out of bringing misery to other human beings. This is evil; but, it has been the policy of this administration from Afghanistan and Iraq onwards.
The White House had decided to sacrifice a city by: a)exaggerating the threats to occupy it; b) Evacuate the citizens so their properties remain unprotected c)Destroy the city's infra-structure and turn it into a ghost town and d) call the ghost buster Hallirburton and other Bush and Cheney allies to fix it and make profit out New Orleans’ misery.
