If Katrina Strikes New York City
The final bell appears to be tolling on dying Black ghettos in the city of New Orleans. The northern ghettos are once again flooding following Rita. Over 40,000 African Americans maybe entombed, but are officially listed as still missing and assumed dead.
The people of the New York City were terrified this past weekend to learn from their hometown paper that they would potentially be in a much worse evacuation situation than the ghettoized Black People were in New Orleans. According the New York Times the city has no plan to deal with a direct hit by a Category 3 Katrina hurricane coming up the Huston Bay from the Atlantic Ocean. The city of New York has no way to physically evacuate the Wall Street business direct, much less the entire city, Long Island or Northern New Jersey.
9th Ward, New Orleans all over again
The people of New York City and the great New York region would be in an even wore nightmare than ten of thousands of African Americans faced in the 9th Ward. Most Yorkers could not find Madison Square Garden or Yankee Stadium on foot. There is no Super Dome in Brooklyn to walk to. According to the New York Times, --“most residents (New Yorkers) have no idea of where to go or what to do in an evacuation, which is exactly what, crippled New Orleans.”
Eight million New Yorkers in a region of 20 million people have less of a collective idea of what to do, than 800,000 Africa Americans in New Orleans!
Myth of Mass Transit
If the hundreds of thousands of people left behind in New Orleans has been evacuated with the 800,000 who drive out of the city, New Orleans highway would looked like Houston’s highways. Without armed military traffic police, the bridges out New York would be like Houston for days before the storm. Penn Station and Grand Central would have to use triage.
Even with the above, Hurricane Katrina footprint destroyed an area 400 miles wide. Katrina’s kill zone was 100 miles wide, that’s all of New Jersey, New York City, Southern Connecticut and Long Island under attack at the same time. Storm surges would run 25 feet high up the Delaware River, the Passaic River, Hudson River, East River, Long Island north and south shores. Downtown Princeton would be an extension of the local Lake. Old city Philly and downtown Trenton would look like the business direct of New Orleans under 25 feet of water. Lower Manhattan would start at 23ht Street.
New Jersey Turn Pike, Bronx Queens Expressway and subways, Houston waiting to happen
The mass transit system that city and FEMA planners are banking on to move a city population of 8 million would be first jammed, then become paralyzed and then finally flooded by 25 foot storm surge and 15 inches of rain. The Holland and Lincoln tunnels would be sealed off to be recovered later, like the 9th Ward levees that were back flooded to save Port New Orleans.
There are no Homeland Security or city master plans to even evacuate New Yorkers to higher ground within the city, which is mostly located in the city ghettos of Harlem, Bedford Stuyvesant, Brownsville, East New York, Jamaica Queens and Hunts Point in the South Bronx.
After generations of political abuse by the power structure, the ghetto people would want some of serious value in exchange for sharing their space. This would also be the case in North Philly.
Homeland Security has carefully, like in New Orleans, refused to preposition assets in New York City, even after Katrina and Rita to deal with even a movement and sheltering of just 1 million New Yorkers, much 8 million New Yorkers who would want to flee.
The writer estimates that the cold political reality is that many of the high ground Black Communities of New York City would face military occupation by Homeland Security troops and forced recolonilization and gentrification by millions of rich white New Yorkers fleeing the flooding waters form the storm surge.
Bush tried to take advantage of national fear of New Orleans
In a quiet political move, blackout is the local press; the Bush Administration is forcing New York to de facto agree to federalization of its National Guard. The Bush administration is fighting calls for the creation of a modern multi billion New York regional unified secure and rescue force of ten of thousand of new National Guard helicopters, ships, plans and space-based communication infrastructure. Such a force could deal with a major hurricane event in the Northeastern Corridor.
The US military in the case of New York State, unlike Texas and Florida would remain subordinate state control like 9/11. If President Bush is having a bad New York City moment, the assistance, as people in Louisiana and Mississippi know first hand, may take days.
The US military is trying to force, via media fear, rich and powerful states of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania into a dependent military relationship into the US military is positioned as the first responder. According to Joseph F. Bruno, the New York City’s emergency manage commissioner “we’d call on federal assets almost immediately.”
Ten of thousands of New Yorkers would die abandoned in hospitals and nursing homes. According to Dr. Irwin Redlener, direct of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at the Mailman School of Public at Columbia University –“there are no plans … to evacuating major medical centers and nursing home from the city.”
Five million New Yorkers would be left behind
The writer estimates that over 5 million New Yorkers would be left behind like the Niggers in New Orleans setting on roofs waiting for President Bush to force the state of New York to federalize of the New York state National Guard or face New Orleans style punishment. According to a 1993 Army Corps of Engineer study found that less powerful Category 3 storm would create 2.5 million evacuees and need to shelter as many as a million. Just to evacuate 300,000 evacuees from New York City by air would require 30,000 military grade transportation helicopters in the air over New York City days before the storm came ashore.
Gulf cities like Galveston and Houston appear to have received a stay of execution for the once killer hurricane Rita that apparently was contained by US Space Command attack in the western Gulf Mexico, saving the regional of Houston and its 7 million people.
The Black and white communities cross America are being manipulated by the white media dual coverage of the rich city of white Houston and the poor Black victimized New Orleans. The connection of the recovery of the two economic regions is raising new emotional cries of racism about the vast different in federal service provision.
It’s clear to the nation that the Bush administration gave much better rescue assistance and aid to Houston before, during and after the storm Rita.
National Black leaders are over focused on questioning the events that led to the first and second flooding of the Black sections of New Orleans and are missing the large issue of federalization of state National Guard army now before Congress.
What is now becoming clear is that New Orleans and Houston are each part of a careful crafted Bush Administration endgame. That is, the Bush administration is attempting an end around side steeping the need for individual state approve for federalization of their National Guard force, by a Congressional amendment to the Posse Comitatus Act 1987.
Powerful Northeastern states like New Jersey, New York and Connecticut have strongly resisted federalize of their armed forces and have the financial means to create their own independent regional army.
Events in the Gulf and Atlantic Ocean are moving to quickly for the Bush administration to have an open public debate on weather Modification and Black operations. (See nubiannews.com US Plan to “own” space)
The Bush administration and oil industry is quietly consolidating their control over the almost every aspect of the New Orleans rescue effort. The primary oil lobby goal is control the information about chemical related contamination and inflections. The oil industry fears the trillion dollars of personal claims from the oil and chemicals linking into the city water system and the staying flood waters.
