I think this is the place to post But it is not a matter to laugh about :

FEMA - Federal Emergency Management Agency

Why does this place wich should be a refuge for people after a disaster, seems to be some new Auschwitz ?

Here is a story with pictures from someone who visited one such place :

Here is the government answer to his story :

Refugee camps don't exactly have a reputation for being comfortable and hospitable. I'm not defending the US Military, or suggesting that its alright to do whatever it is they may or may not do there. There do seem to be valid reasons for the "renevations:, however.



I'm amazed that the forum thread you posted was replied to by a government official.

As was I. Seems a little odd...

It was not I who posted there, it was someone else, he got the reply

Those pictures and what the man writes is some scary shit. It almost seems like another country. I agree what scares/interests me the most is the fact an Oklahoman Gov't official (id'd with IP addy in later post on that thread).

I am left to wonder if that person is a habitual poster for ATS forum, or if he heard about it from "someone watching the net" and was told to reply to it. Either way, having an "official government" reply kind of makes things seem like they are truly hiding something.

Heres a small addition to the wonderful 1984 mental picture forming in inquisitive minds:

Big Brother's new toy: Another bloated gas bag watching you from the sky
2006-05-30
By James Renner
Cleveland Free Times

Last week, a fire ignited at the Akron Airdock that once housed a fleet of Goodyear blimps. Firemen rushed to the 211-foot-tall structure and quickly doused the flames. Reporters and photographers descended on the landmark. Many were surprised to learn the blimps were no longer being stored there.

Turns out Lockheed Martin -- the company that gave us the Trident intercontinental ballistic missile -- was renovating the site for an upcoming project when the fire started. It's being turned into a hangar for a prototype airship. If you're frightened of this administration's habit of spying on American citizens, you may want to stop reading.

The prototype is called the High Altitude Airship, or HAA. Lockheed Martin Maritime Systems & Sensors in Akron won the $40 million contract from the Missile Defense Agency to build HAA in 2003. It is essentially another blimp. A giant one. Seventeen times the size of the Goodyear dirigible. It's designed to float 12 miles above the earth, far above planes and weather systems. It will be powered by solar energy, and will stay in a geocentric orbit for up to a year, undetectable by ground-based radar. You can't see it from the ground. But it can see you.

"The possibilities are endless for homeland security," says Kate Dunlap, a Lockheed Martin spokesperson. "It could house cameras, and other surveillance equipment. It would be an eye in the sky."

I think someone in that other thread mentioned that a lot of New Orleans people who stayed in New Orleans for a few weeks after the flooding are probably all contaminated with poisons and sewage water and I would suspect the gov keeping quiet about it until the freedom of information act kicks. Having a compound with lots of medical people there probably studied the "refugees" and hopefully the New Orleans people got some healthy food to eat besides all processed food like pop tarts. I did notice that one person said that each person would get two meals a day and then another person said three meals a day plus snacks provided for in between meals. So clearly not everyone knows what is going on and that seems like normal for an unprecedented hurricane in US history. I just hope that the donations we all gave actually don't get wasted or thrown in the trash. I only donated about 10 hours of work for the Hurricane Relief in Seattle and some cash, but maybe I will go look for some websites about all this.

What the Free Times failed to mention was the Beacon Journal had done a piece on the new dirigible weeks before.

I am worried about it being used for the wrong reasons, but it has great benefits also. We already have eyes in the sky called sattelites that can read your license plate number....

What bothers me is that this is solar powered, makes me wonder what else the gov't makes solar powered, yet is the same gov't that makes sure our engines will never be run on clean burning, reuseable fuels.

I learned about this on my own. researching old dragstrips and in conjunction with a guy who researched old airstrips. We've found LOTS that have been abandoned for years but are now fitted with new buildings and very high security. The barbed wire that faces INWARDS is quite eerie.
