Katrina at New Ruskin College Part II

Lecture Notes: This is America?
The question was asked again and again. I gained some comfort from listening to the question asked over and over in many different ways.
Sometimes there was surprise. In some faces shock. Good!
For is this not what tormented me for so many years? In 1991? And then after the IRS gave my name to Crawford and Company after they had asked me to help investigate them? And then in 1999 after the burglary. And for months in 2000 when the San Rafael Police followed me referring to me as the “Colonial Motel Suspect”? Did I not ask, ‘Is this America?’
After Ron Owens harassed me at the health club with Michael Weiner, and then at Access. And the two later harassed me in 2001 at Farmers? Or Michael Krasney in 2000 at the AAA Auto Club? And 2002 Mrs. Jack Swanson at CENCAL and finally Imus at GAR Robins in 2003, the straw; after State Farm in 1998?
Is this America? And best of all the wide eyed surprise. The disbelief.
See? It is not just me. Lots of people are taken by surprise by how vicious you can be. How uncaring. That you will let us die while you look on dispassionately. We had been given a false belief. We misunderstood. After a taste of reality we now know better.
After I wrote the Last Letter in 1991 criticizing Yvonne for betraying her client Michael Weiner and Ron Owens and Michael Krasney justified themselves by claiming I was anti-Semitic. Anti-Semitic? How so? Because Yvonne is a Jew! Criticize her you criticize Jews. To criticize Jews is anti-Semitism.
To criticize the “Black” Mayor is to be a racist, so don’t criticize him; criticize the President he be White.
To criticize the Governor, “A Woman,” is sexism, so don’t criticize her either; criticize the President he is Male.
One standard for White Males another for A Woman and another for the “Black” Mayor. You are still not ready to allow Women and Minorities to participate in our society. You claim to be “liberals” but you do not accept them. You can not criticize them.
Recall that this is why you dynamited the public housing. You could not bring yourselves to deal with them. I am not the sexist or racist, you are. You can not criticize them even now when you can plainly see, after watching for days their incompetence, their corruption laid bare, right before your eyes, that they did not even try to carry out an emergency plan.
But you can not bring yourselves to ask the tough questions of the “Woman” and the “Black” even now when the “Woman” is a Governor who has repeatedly broken down, and utterly failed in her duty, and the “Black” is a Mayor who has hidden on the 27th floor of the Hyatt Regency, the penthouse, screaming that the Whity does not care about Blacks, as the school busses filled with water and the elderly and sick were left with no way out, the police without direction.
There were no pallets of bottled water, no sanitary facilities, no plan for State police, or Guardsmen, no radios, no planning, and after 20 years of “Black” leadership what do we get? Only the complaint Whity does not care about us. And you do not dare challenge this with any inconvenient questions. What is this but the racism of lower expectations?
And I do criticize the President. I do not exempt him because he is a White Male. He did not call up our forces, military and civilian, in expectation that the levees would break, which should have been anticipated. (see Army Navy Club Item #51 at the Max Weber Institute)
I criticize the President for not listening to me, and not for the first time. (If he had he and the nation would be better off.)
But this time at least I was not surprised. He has known about my case for years. He has made many references. For example, once after the election I had bitterly criticized him for not allowing debate, not participating in genuine discussions. Then appearing before the press he felt the need to claim he had “vigorous debates” in his Administration. (Vigorous!) This can not be true for if so how could he have been so unprepared to discuss and debate the issues during the campaign?
I doubt now, knowing his father as I do, that he heard these issues being discussed even at the family dining table.
No, his Administration’s poor performance did not surprise me. This time.
He will let me die in front of the KQED building in a few days. He does not care for justice in my case.
But some were surprised. Our borders are open. No caretaker government was set up for Iraq. Our troops must wait for the Iraqis to set the time table. No quarantine even though bio attack had been repeatedly threatened. No serious proposal for the debt, or Social Security or pensions or health care or the American Labor Problem. No school vouchers. He even supports racial and gender quotas. (Why don’t the liberals love him?) With a million new homeless will he now speak out against exclusionary building and zoning codes? Why now? He has said nothing even as three million came across the southern border every year.
But do you learn? You think we are prepared for a bio attack? (see Bio War News #30) Now who is the suicide?
Yes, he will leave me to die, too.
This is America; I am not surprised.
And now both hosts, preparing for the storm
Of adverse battle, their encampments form.
VIDA'S GAME OF CHESS
OLIVER GOLDSMITH
Oh!, now suddenly it is the “blame game.” Last week Bush bashing because the “Black” emergency plan put 20,000 in the Superdome without any provisions, without any plan, after 20 years of “Black” “leadership” of New Orleans, after hundreds of years of Democrat “leadership”, with “A Woman” as Governor, Commander In Chief of the Louisiana’s State National Guard, with thousands of trucks, busses, all the resources of the State of Louisiana, . . . no, no, now it is the “blame game.”
You 2##@&&^%@$# holes $#$%@@%% dumb %#$%@^##&!!!!
You have your nerve. Decades of corruption have consequences. The lesson to learn is that this is your country. This is your society. Did you suppose that your corruption will not have consequences? You know what Imus, Weiner, et al. have done to me and have not come forward. And don’t you think people knew that the corrupt politicians of New Orleans did not have plans for the 20,000 at the Superdome and said nothing? Went along with it? Knowing people would die . . . ? ---- Or, you don’t think I will kill myself in a few days? Is that your excuse? You did not know?
“How fitting that the nominee under consideration is a Woman from New Orleans . . .”
---- Tim Russert, Imus regular, NBC, Meet the Press, 09-04-05
(He actually said this: A Woman.)
"I don't think anyone anticipated the breach of the levees."
---- George Bush, 09-01-05
(Recall Dr. Rice’s comment: "I don't think anybody could have predicted that these people would take an airplane and slam it into the World Trade Center, take another one and slam it into the Pentagon, that they would try to use an airplane as a missile," National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice said in a May 2002 news briefing.)
“These troops know how to shoot and kill, and they are more than willing to do so if necessary.”
-----Governor Blanco, 09-01-05
(If you had any doubt that she is an incompetent . . . “more than willing.” Those boys from Arkansas they is more than willing to kill? What a fool. She finally acts to restore order, on Thursday, after her incompetence allowed the city to descend into anarchy. And even then she does so not as a statesman but as a vicious punk . . . “more” than willing. Oh, but A Woman! That is important because she has more “sensitivity” than do men. No troops pre-positioned on Saturday or Sunday, none on Tuesday, and then after the old earthen levees gave way none on Wednesday, and then on Thursday? We get her, “They have M-16s and they're locked and loaded” and her “more than willing,” but still no troops. Look into the mirror. This is your society.)
“ . . . When President Bush told "Good Morning America" on Thursday morning that nobody could have "anticipated" the breach of the New Orleans levees, it pointed to not only a remote leader in denial, but a whole political class.
The uneasy paradox which so many live with in this country - of being first-and-foremost rugged individuals, out to plunder what they can and paying as little tax as they can get away with, while at the same time believing that America is a robust, model society - has reached a crisis point this week.
Will there be real investment, or just more buck-passing between federal agencies and states?
The country has to choose whether it wants to rebuild the levees and destroyed communities, with no expense spared for the future - or once again brush off that responsibility, and blame the other guy. . . .
. . . It has been a profoundly shocking experience for many across this vast country who, for the large part, believe the home-spun myth about the invulnerability of the American Dream.
The party in power in Washington is always happy to convey the impression of 50 states moving forward together in social and economic harmony towards a bigger and better America.
That is what presidential campaigning is all about.
But what the devastating consequences of Katrina have shown - along with the response to it - is that for too long now, the fabric of this complex and overstretched country, especially in states like Louisiana and Mississippi, has been neglected and ignored.” (BBC)
(But note that the liberal British twit for the BBC then speaks of “genuinely heroic mayor” even as he then goes on to describe how there was no plan for evacuation, that the mayor abandoned “his” people, and the city police and staff were also left with no leadership, Black or otherwise, no direction, no effort to bring in other resources, the State’s own National Guard, for example, or anything, but he is still called “genuinely heroic”; that before, decades before, the levees were allowed to fall into disrepair. He does not point out that even the pumps were placed below water level and that their roofs were blown off in the storm. That most of the pumps were “electric” i.e. did not have their own power source. That the city’s school busses were not used to evacuate. Well, . . . This is the second British disease, liberalism. )
