Alex Jones would do better to find one conspiracy theory and stick to it, but they all seem to run together in that vacuum of a head of his. He's a moron of the caliber of Madcow and Moore, one Xanax away from a rubber room retirement.
He is actually correct on some things though, including the fact that Ron Paul was cheated by the GOP. What he says and his ideals, well, they have nothing to do with the actual truth, there are FEMA camps, the nearest one to us is one east of Columbus next to the state line.
Dude, we live in the South, near the Gulf and the Ocean..............Katrina was a mess, I think we really need to be prepared for another one. You know, just in case. ~~shrug~~
We ran a hotel in 2007/2008 on the North Shore of New Orleans.
It was interesting how many people all those years later were still living in their FEMA trailer.
These people used to have jobs, and lives, and houses, and a place in their community. It was just difficult for them to get a house rebuilt. They had lost everything.
Some were too old to build back… they started, but there just was not enough time to build and work…
Many left to live with family in other states for upwards of three months... coming back when water, electricity, and a way to support themselves was available. But they did not have a house yet built back to a stage they could live in.
Many were just using a free trailer they did not have to pay money monthly?
The lawlessness and crime was huge, even with the National Guard still watching over some areas until the end of 2008. Many police abandoned their job once KATRINA hit. Even in 2008, police would not come to a crime if you dialed 911. On the news at night was a report on all the people who had been killed that day. I stopped watching
It is interesting to see what happens in a community when a disaster hits… some dig in and come out better… some will never be the same… some use the system without ever trying to move beyond government help.
Not sure camps after a disaster would be much better… but it could not be much worse. Me, I would choose to go live with family somewhere else!
