FEMA Announces Creation Of Children's Working Group
http://www.fema.gov/news/newsrelease.fema?id=49221
Release Date: August 4, 2009
Release Number: HQ-09-094WASHINGTON, D.C. -- While testifying before the Senate Ad Hoc Subcommittee on Disaster Recovery today, the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Craig Fugate announced the creation of a "Children's Working Group."
The working group will allow FEMA and its partners to explore and implement planning and response strategies specific to children throughout the agency and ensure that during a disaster the unique needs of children are not only considered, but fully integrated into how FEMA administers this support to states and the public.
"It is time for special needs populations, whether children or any other segment of our communities who have traditionally been underserved, to be more fully and consistently integrated into preparedness and planning efforts at every level of government," Administer Fugate said. "Children are a part of every community. We must understand and address their needs from the outset, recognizing that they are not simply small adults. That means not putting the considerations specific to children in a separate box, but incorporating them into our planning on the front end."
The Children's Working Group will be composed of FEMA employees across multiple directorates and offices to ensure coordination and action, and will report directly to the Office of the Administrator. The working group will be chaired by Tracy Wareing, counselor to Secretary Napolitano for FEMA.
Areas of focus of the Children's Working Group will include:
- Child-specific guidance as to evacuation, sheltering, and relocation;
- Tracking and reunification of families;
- Coordinated case management supports;
- Enhanced preparedness for child care centers and schools as well as for children in child welfare and juvenile justice systems;
- Enhanced national planning, including incorporation of children into national planning scenarios and exercises;
- Incorporation of children's needs into grant guidance;
- Improved recovery coordination across the federal family and with state and local partners in support of children's education, health and housing;
- Consideration as to how the federal family can help ensure child care centers are able rebuild and restore services more quickly following a disaster, and;
- Increased public awareness efforts to educate families and protect children during disasters.
FEMA's mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.

FEMA Announces Creation Of Children's Working Group
Big Mother cares about all our children so much... doesn't she? Thanks for this Pete!
Katrina - another viewpoint
It's been a while since I added anything to my Katrina research. This looks really interesting and long:
"So, Who the Hell is Norman Thomas?" and (why was he quoted by Judge Sonia Sotomayor, President Barack Obama's first nominee to the Supreme Court):
Baghdad on the Bayou: Final Report on Deception and Diaspora in New Orleans
Feb 17, 2008, by Georgianne Nienaber"The old river in its broad reach rested unruffled at the decline of day, after ages of good service done to the race that peopled its banks, spread out in the tranquil dignity of a waterway leading to the uttermost ends of the earth."Did a search for "communitarian" at oped news, there were three returns, first is
--Joseph Conrad
The citizens of New Orleans, southern Louisiana, and the greater Gulf Coast were sold down a river of lies as surely as Marlow faced the heart of darkness in deepest Africa when he boarded a steamer on the Congo River. By the time a hurricane named Katrina came along, the lies were so immense that all of America found it impossible that anyone could concoct deceptions of such magnitude. The lies were Orwellian in scope and degree—political leaders told deliberate lies and actually came to believe the lies for a time, ignoring or burying the facts until the facts cried out for resurrection—along with the dead piled against the levees or swept out to sea. Human empathy, respect, responsibility, and knowledge of what was seen and unseen were abandoned along with all reason. The doctrines of depopulation and disaster capitalism murdered morality in the halls of power and commerce—doctrines were built upon the twin pillars of political expedience and deception and finally cloaked in tenets of the Constitution. The lies recruited fear, fear morphed the Mississippi River into an enemy, and humanity became the victim.
Political expedience favored wealth and commerce, and deception ginned up anguish--anguish that craved a fairy tale ending because tragedy demands explanation and resolution.
Today, row upon row of fake, pink, plywood miniature houses dot the scarred, flooded, moldy landscape of what was once a neighborhood in the lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans. Promises of $150,000 homes, courtesy of Hollywood celebrities, are sprinkled across the devastated plat like so much fairy dust. Humanity claps its collective hands, hoping the fairy will appear and the dead will rise from the sepulchers of Acadia and from the bulldozer tracks that buried bone and mummified flesh. Humanity invented the fairy tale because reality is too heartbreaking, the truth too hard to bear, and without the happy ending people cannot sleep through the dark night.
"So, Who the Hell is Norman Thomas?" and (why was he quoted by Judge Sonia Sotomayor, President Barack Obama's first nominee to the Supreme Court):
And here's a Manifest for communitarian change: http://www.opednews.com/articles/3/Manifest-by-Jennifer-Hathaway-090307-560.html
Anyone who, without preconception, examines the life of Norman Thomas emerges with the sense of a deeply moral and morally subtle man who called himself a Socialist - even while he was repudiated by myriad Socialists - because he believed that a communitarian philosophy is truer to democracy than the everyone-for-himself libertarianism that represents the opposite pole in American politics.

Obama -- the joke's on us
My access is limited and my inbox is spammed with virgina raines and her crowd along with a bunch of other crap I never signed up for (Conservative Alerts, Townhall, Chuck Baldwin etc.). Almost didn't see this. What a great b-day suprise 4 days later! Thanks to John at Stop Common Purpose for sending this cartoon of Obama which is going up all over LA, and for making the appropriate dialectical synthesis change to the outdated term "socialist" used by the posters.
Kostas A. Lavdas and Dimitris N. Chryssochoou, "Republican Europe in a Liberal Milieu" (JMWP no. 05/09)
Dear friends of the Jean Monnet Center,
We are pleased to announce the online publication of the fifth paper in the 2009 Jean Monnet Working Paper series. We include the abstract of this paper below:
Kostas A. Lavdas and Dimitris N. Chryssochoou, "Republican Europe in a Liberal Milieu"
(JMWP no. 05/09)
With republican theory emerging as a form of scholarly inquiry on Europe's puzzling transformations, a variety of civic conceptions of the European Union (EU) bring into focus the uses of normative theory. This paper, drawing from a rich intellectual tradition, argues that a challenge central to EU constitutionalism is to utilize Europe's republican tradition for its emerging polity. But we also need a new way of theorizing European diversity, as the latter transcends national differences by embracing a variety of cultural and spatial dimensions. But how are we to combine a robust (republican) grounding for constitutionalism and a celebratory affirmation of differences? We suggest that, by tackling the question of democracy in the EU from a liberal republican angle that endorses a new form of civic polyculturalism, one can assign meaning to Europe's envisaged transformation into a res publica composita. The theoretical challenge is thus set: to go beyond what is evident in Europe's novel experimentations with democracy so as to embrace latent but crucial potentialities.
We invite you to access this Working Paper on the Jean Monnet Center website at www.jeanmonnetprogram.org.

Who the Falk is Amitai Etzioni?
There's a consistent pattern of behavior among Americans studying the NWO that defies explanation. It's as if there is one set of topics open to debate, and there's another set of topics that are closed to any public discussion. The number of Americans who publically address the communitarian philosophy or acknowledge global-to-local communitarian law can be counted on one hand. The rest of the anti-NWO "activist community" continues to ignore or minimize the verifiable bureaucratic and judicial structure for the emerging world government.
Why do so many Americans studying the emerging supra-national world government put their focus on only the branches of the communitarian tree? Some study the Bilderbergs, many study Illuminatti, others the Zionists, others the UN and it's related programs, and some tie these all together under the British Royal Family. But they all stop short of identifying the NWO philosophy or the NWO legal structure (which has established case law already on record in the EU, the USSR and China). This is why the Americans have lost their nation forever, and no amount of scoffing, sneering, crying, yelling or finger pointing can change the fact that the US Constitution has been slowly replaced with illegal Communitarian Values.
The Obama administration is entirely communitarian.For months now I've read article after article from former Obama supporters who are having second thoughts based on everything except Obama's committment to advancing communitarianism in the United States. Hundreds of writers artfully deflect any attention towards Obama's verifiable past. Their role seems to be to keep America focused only on the NWO's pre-planned areas of discrepancy. Thousands of Hegelian arguments grow and circulate endlessly, leading all duped sides into eventually capitulating to what was the ultimate goal all along. Hegelian arguments steer Americans, not only in useless circles, but into a deep dark pit that lurks just beneath every smiling face promising to bring Americans peace and "change." The communitarian mantra is "change," but that fact was never important enough to bring to the American's attention. Nor was the fact that Obama's Harvard Law School application was signed by a leading communitarian thinker considered worthy of an article or two.
Communitarian Platform signer Professor John McNight even made a youtube video of his mentorship of Obama's community activism and his prominent role in advancing Obama's political career. McNight's Institute for Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ilinois was one of the first places I learned how communitarian thinking and terminology are being introduced around the world. McNight's Workbook for "Mapping and Mobilizing Community Capacity" is the more invasive version of the US Census's new American Community Survey. The communitarians planned to rebuild America, house by house, block by block, town by town, and the way they planned to do it was to put every American's private life into their GIS map. Now the communitarians have their new census, and it comes into our homes with the full force of US communitarian law behind it.
By 1999, when I first became aware of the plan, hundreds of communitarian books, essays and articles had already been written and circulated among upper academia. The communitarian philosophy had also already permeated every local government agency in Seattle, Washington. Communitarian terms were thrown around regularly at public meetings and written into neighborhood plans. Seattle Police Department (SPD) had already changed their mission statement to communitarian terminology, openly stating their number one goal was to promote livability and quality of life. Invasive federalized police actions used to implement portions of the global neighbohood plans were cloaked in communitarian objectives to rebuild a safer and healthier community. Friendly, neighborly, cute COPS on bikes became the communitarian logo.
Everyone involved in civic life seemed to be making money on the communitarian bandwagon. Freemasons around the country began organizing themselves around community development groups whose sole purpose was to introduce communitarian land use regulations. Church officials affiliated with the World Council of Churches openly declared themselves as spiritual adherants to the new global sustainable philosophy. Pope John Paul wrote a vision of building a more spiritual communitarian world. Other less known and new groups became part and parcel of the communitarian changes, with groups like Sustainable Seattle created before the Rio conference in 1992 where sustainability was the primary topic. That the Director of the Seattle Department of Design, Construction and Land Use (DCLU) was also on the Board of Directors of Sustainable Seattle (and a presenter at Rio) was never a concern of the lesser agencies following the DCLU's lead in reorganizing Seattle neighborhoods under communitarian regulations.
Ten years ago we learned we were "human research subjects" in a global Community Oriented Policing (COPS) and sustainable development pilot project. The pilot test had several sub-tests included, most notably COMPASS, the NIJ's COPS GIS database used for Community Mapping, Planning, Analysis and Safety Strategies in our neighborhood. Files on residents were kept by Community Service Officers whose job was to "identify all the players." The bigger international plan for completely modifiying human behaviors was tested in several cities and rural areas across the United States. Each area tried different ways to get around the 4th Amendment, an "identified barrier to the plan." (SPD Chief Norm Stamper 1996)
A "necessary" communitarian assumption of power over all national resources was the official explanation for making such drastic changes to US property and privacy law. One of the first things I learned when I started to study the plans was that I, along with all the other human beings on the planet, was identified as a "resource" in all their planning documents. The very idea that somebody said I was merely a resource to be harvested like a tree or a fish was so insulting I had to know what they had to back that statement up. What I found was a virtual library of published works defining the communitarian's plan for changing the world. I'm not referring to the Communist Manifesto here either, communism, like capitalism, is but a branch on the communitarian tree. Obama is not a communist, and even if he were you could never prove it. Nobody knows for sure where he was born or can show documents proving he's a clone of an Eqyptian Pharoh. What can be easily verified is that Obama is a communitarian, and that's the one topic that remains unspoken before the huddled US masses.
Ten years ago I still believed in the economic principles that established the United States. There's no hope left in me that the Americans will somehow stop the communitarians from stealing their national economy. The majority of America still thinks the communitarian's global agenda is nothing but a stupid conspiracy theory, and most of the 222 people who joined my Stop UN Local Agenda 21 group on Facebook are from Eastern Europe. (The majority of our book sales for 2020: Our Common Destiny are outside the US.) Lately it appears the communitarians have implanted the idea that their publically available blueprints for a global government are a conspiracy. Every day now we get hits at the ACL from people around the world searching for the "Agenda 21 conspiracy." But apparently not everyone is as gullible as the Americans. I may not be invited or sponsored to give talks on communitarian philosophy and law at American conferences (especially the ones using the word "freedom"), but I have been asked by local government officials in South Africa if I hold internet seminars or would be willing to come there. The boys at Stop Common Purpose in London had no trouble understanding that communitarianism was the basis for the program they oppose. Paul Barnes in Canada immediately recognized communitarianism in the programs and policies in his home nation. What's the big barrier to American patriots and truthers... the truth?
There's a part of me now that is ashamed of myself for devoting ten years to defending the US Constitution against seditious communitarianism. I've been able to hold my head up in spite of the ravages ten years of poverty brings on, because in my heart I knew I was fighting a just war that had to be fought. Somewhere along the way I accepted America will end up a slave population to international communitarian masters. My slavish devotion to insisting US legal principles trumph communitarian justice was naive. Our people already capitulate to every demand the communitarians make, so who and what exactly was I defending? And this whole "I got my gun" defense that I hear and see written so much now is driving me bonkers. Armed resistance is written into their scenario; it's a Hegelian tool. Fabians, Mossad, CIA, HS, FEMA, NORTHCOM, DEA, SWAT, ACT, COPS et. al. are trained to instigate it. Hegel, the grandfather of communitarianism (Etzioni is the "father") said the best way to help humanity is via violence. If we knew that, would our people still think arming themselves was the best defense they could come up with? This was always a war of wits and words, not bullets. Far too many of our people are blind and arrogant enough to play right into every hand they're dealt.
Just before Barack Obama won the US Presidency, Amitai Etzioni, GWU Professor, Fabian founder of the Commutarian Network, former Israeli soldier and adviser to US Presidents since 1979, advised all his followers at the Huffington Post to put champaygne on ice... their protoges were on the way to the White House. Too bad so few in America were paying attention to what was really happening during the last election.

Fox news reports US military preparing for mass quarantines
I was able to watch part of this video, hard to tell if it's for real since I never watch TV anymore so it always looks fake to me when I see it. If it's real it's still been edited with overlapping commentary and lettering, which lessens its value to me. It does seem like we're moving into a lot of people need to die phase, but there's always the possibility that the riots and chaos the communitarians expect won't happen, and that's such an integral part of their plan it could end up being a real glitch. Lame, I know, kind of like "what if they had a war and nobody came?" What if they had a war and nobody knew?

Camp Redington has it's first guests from the website
3/4 inch rusty "pail" with painted wildflowers
1/2 inch pot of natural dried wildflowersThis is my first chance to use the internet except to quick check my mail for a week. Been gettin' great comments here and it sucks that I haven't had regular access lately. I'm so not prepared to give up the internet and hope that whatever happens we can all somehow still get online... think that's possible?
2ml painted bottle with untouched wildflowers
1 inch mini pot with handpainted wildflowers,1/2 inch bear and cub
2 inch clay pot with painted wildflowers
1 inch mini handpainted wildflower bouquet with eagle
Fireweed and yarrow grows everywhere in the yard
Drying racks made of duct tape
Ron, Corina, me and Nordica made a big dinner for our camp's first guests. Our friends Jewel and Brenda have perfect timing.
Snap peas almost ready to be stolen off the vine
New minishelf I made out of the one that plopped into a water pot overnight, fell apart at the seams in the morning. My alteration holds 9, 2ml bottles, and now I'm gong to soak all those cute, dinky, useless shelves and rebuild them all to fit my bottled flowers.
new all Alaskan mini roombox
Chitina smoke keeps moving up our road. Copper's rising again too.
Smoking Garden
Host of the year
Our first "official" Camp Redington guests E and Ray, lovely, lovely folks who may just inspire Tim to actually open someday. Even though the email at CR's website is bad, E tracked me down via this blog and reserved their space. We had a lot of fun with them, fed them moose ribs their first night and Copper River Reds tonight when they came back from McCarthy. Today they drove Tim's 4 wheeler and then we shot my guns, a first for both of them. It was great to meet such open and friendly people who were interested in meeting us after they read the site. It meant we could totally relax around them, smoke, swear, have dirt on us, whatever... they didn't come to change us or judge us, just to enjoy meeting us. I liked them a lot, and we all got to see how easy and interesting it is to meet people who come here because we're so different.
The garage sale grill in action, and yes, I lit it myself this time!
