All made with the best of intentions by nationalists with little experience, poor or fraudulent Intel, and a lack of awareness at how incompetent the United States actually is today. Yet they own the MSM; the media mouthpiece and everyone desires to go ahead and pick a fight for \u201cfreedom\u2122\u201d and \u201cdemocracy\u2122\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>I have argued over and over and over again that America is very, very fragile. It is more than balkanized, it is tottering on the edge of chaos. And all it would take to send it over the side is China or Russia doing what the US Military is vocally planning to do.<\/p>\n<p>One strike on a city.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t even need to be a nuclear strike.<\/p>\n<p>This strike completely collapse \u201cthe house of cards\u201d, and all the people in the city will be forced to deal with a very bad situation. Will they come together? Will they work together? Will they [1] obey the advisement\u2019s on the Emergency Broadcast System? Or will they [2] all go their own way, do their own thing, and take advantage of the situation for their own personal benefit?<\/p>\n<p>The answer should be obvious to all Americans.<\/p>\n<p>But somehow, and it\u2019s unfathomable to me, that Americans separate a \u201cwar with China over Taiwan\u201d, from \u201cAmerica urban enclaves erupting in an orgy of hate, rapes and killings\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Because both will happen simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p>China and Russia will make sure that it occurs.<\/p>\n<p>Fifteen years ago we were able to watch what happens when a local disaster hits a city.

The weather \u2014 a Category 4 hurricane \u2014 certainly had something to do with it, but the most serious damage was done not by nature but by man.<\/p>\n<p>Much has been and will be written about why the levees that are supposed to keep the water out of below-sea-level New Orleans failed. There will be bitter recrimination about whether the federal rescue effort could have been launched sooner. Commissions will ask questions and lessons will be learned. But there was another human failing that was far more ominous. No commission will study it, and official America will refuse to learn from it. In the orgy of finger-pointing it will be all but forgotten. That human failing \u2014 vastly more significant than the ones the commissions will investigate \u2014 is the barbaric behavior of the people of New Orleans.<\/p>\n<p>New Orleans is 67 percent black, and about half the blacks are poor. Of the city\u2019s 480,000 people, all but an estimated 80 to 100 thousand left before the hurricane struck. This meant that aside from patients in hospitals and eccentrics in the French Quarter, most of the people who stayed behind were not just blacks, but lower-class blacks without the means or foresight to leave.<\/p>\n<p>Katrina hit on the morning of Monday, Aug. 29. The levees broke on Tuesday and the city began to flood. Before long, 80 percent of New Orleans was under as much as 20 feet of water.<\/p>\n<p>The city\u2019s 70,000-seat football stadium, known as the Superdome, had been officially designated as a public shelter before the hurricane, and several thousand people were already there the night before the storm. It had some food and medical supplies, but when the waters began to rise, people poured in from all directions, swelling its numbers to an estimated 25,000.<\/p>\n<p>People came because their houses were under water, but also because New Orleans very quickly collapsed into banditry. Looting began even while the storm was still blowing. At first there was sympathetic clucking about the need for food and medicine, but news clips of blacks wading happily through waist-deep water with television sets over their heads dispelled that view.<\/p>\n<p>The day after the hurricane, a reporter caught the atmosphere of high-spirited chaos at a Wal-Mart in the Lower Garden District. People were grabbing things as quickly as they could, smashing open jewelry cabinets and scooping up double-handfuls. One man packed his van so full of electronic equipment he could not close the rear doors. A teenage girl passed out, face down, and people stepped on her. A man stopped to roll her onto her back, and she vomited pink liquid. \u201cThis is f***ed up,\u201d he said, and rolled her back on her stomach. An NBC correspondent filmed black, uniformed police officers strolling through the aisles, filling shopping carts.<\/p>\n<p>At one store, a policeman broke the glass on the DVD case so civilians would not cut themselves trying to break it, but one man was ungrateful. \u201cThe police got all the best stuff,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re crookeder than us.\u201d One woman stocking up on makeup was glad to see the officers. \u201cIt must be legal,\u201d she said. \u201cThe police are here taking stuff, too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Violence of all kinds quickly spread through the paralyzed city, where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amren.com\/tag\/crime\/\">robbery<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amren.com\/tag\/rape\/\">rape<\/a>, and even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amren.com\/tag\/murder\/\">murder<\/a> became routine. There were still thousands of people trapped on rooftops and in attics, but on Sept. 1, Mayor Ray Nagin called the entire police force off of rescue work and ordered it to secure the city. The response from the force? An estimated 200 officers just walked off the job. \u201cThey indicated that they had lost everything and didn\u2019t feel that it was worth them going back to take fire from looters and losing their lives,\u201d explained Henry Whitehorn, chief of the Louisiana State Police. Many disappeared without a word. Sheriff Harry Lee of Jefferson Parish in New Orleans also said his men were deserting. \u201cThey want to be with their families,\u201d he said. \u201cWell, I want to be with my family too, but you don\u2019t quit in the middle of a crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Two police officers, including the department\u2019s official spokesman Paul Accardo, committed suicide by shooting themselves in the head. The London <em>Times<\/em> estimated that one in five officers refused to work, and some of those who stayed on the job were useless. When Debbie Durso, a tourist from Washington, Michigan, asked a policeman for help he told her, \u201cGo to hell \u2014 it\u2019s every man for himself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ged Scott, 36, of Liverpool, told BBC News what happened when a group of stranded British women shouted to police for help from the rooftop of a flooded hotel: \u201cThey [the officers] said to them, \u2018Well, show us what you\u2019ve got\u2019 \u2014 doing signs for them to lift their T-shirts up. The girls said no, and they said \u2018well fine,\u2019 and motored off down the road in their motorboat. That\u2019s the sort of help we had from the authorities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo one anticipated the disintegration or the erosion of the civilian police force in New Orleans,\u201d explained Lieutenant General Steven Blum of the National Guard. He said the city was operating on only one third of its pre-storm strength of 1,500 officers, and that the guard suddenly had to switch from rescue to law enforcement: \u201cAnd that\u2019s when we started flowing military police into the theater.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>New Orleans has had only black mayors since 1978, and has spent decades making the police force as black as possible. It established a city-residency requirement for officers to keep suburban whites from applying for jobs, and lowered recruitment standards so blacks could pass them. Katrina blew away any pretence that the force was competent.<\/p>\n<p>(On September 5, exactly a week after the hurricane, Mayor Ray Nagin offered to pay for the entire police force, firefighters, and city emergency workers to go on five-day vacations \u2014 with their families \u2014 to Las Vegas or some other destination. He said there were enough National Guard in the city to maintain order, and that his men \u201chave been through a lot.\u201d He brushed off suggestions that this was dereliction of duty. He even asked the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to pay for the vacations, but FEMA refused. \u201cWe haven\u2019t turned over control of the city,\u201d a city spokesman explained. \u201cWe\u2019re going to leave a skeleton force \u2014 about 20 percent of the department \u2014 for leadership and liaison with the troops while we get some rest.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>New Orleans has a high crime rate at the best of times \u2014 it is usually in top contention for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amren.com\/the-color-of-crime\/\">the American city with the highest murder rate<\/a> \u2014 and looted firearms spilled into the street. Some blacks fired on any symbol of authority, blazing away at rescue helicopters and Coast Guard vessels. Several days after the hurricane, with desperate people still huddled on rooftops, FEMA said it was too dangerous to attempt rescues.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, along one stretch of Highway 10, hundreds of volunteer firefighters, auxiliary coastguardmsmen and citizens with small boats were eager to reach people, but could not set out because of sniper fire. \u201cWe are trying to do our job here but we can\u2019t if they are shooting at us,\u201d explained Major Joey Broussard of the Louisiana State Fisheries and Wildlife Division. \u201cWe don\u2019t know who and we don\u2019t know why, but we don\u2019t want to get in a situation of having to return fire out there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most chilling accounts were from hospitals, where staff desperately tried to move patients up stairs as the water rose, while blacks looted the floors below. Most hospitals had emergency generators, but these began to give out. Two days after the hurricane, the city had no running water, and as food ran out, doctors and nurses gave themselves intravenous feedings to keep going.<\/p>\n<p>Just outside New Orleans, gunmen held up a supply truck carrying food, water, and medical supplies that were on their way to a 203-bed hospital. Patients all across the city eventually had to be taken out, but rescuers met resistance. Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Cheri Ben-Iesan told reporters at an emergency headquarters: \u201cHospitals are trying to evacuate. At every one of them, there are reports that as the helicopters come in people are shooting at them, saying, \u2018You better come get my family.\u2019\u201d An effort to evacuate patients and staff from Charity Hospital in downtown New Orleans was stopped by sniper fire. Other hospitals reported gangs of looters attacking and overturning ambulances.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Lawrence, a reporter with CNN, filed a report from the roof of a police station: \u201cRight now it\u2019s the only safe place to be in the city. We were on the street earlier but the police said under no circumstances would you be safe on the street. They said anybody walking in the streets of New Orleans is basically taking their life in their hands. . . . They directed some of the young women to get off the street immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What may have been the most shocking headline of the entire crisis was in the September 2 issue of <em>Army Times<\/em>: \u201cTroops Begin Combat Operations in New Orleans.\u201d The article was about the Louisiana National Guard massing near the Superdome in preparation for a citywide security mission. \u201cThis place is going to look like Little Somalia,\u201d Brig. Gen. Gary Jones explained. \u201cWe\u2019re going to go out and take this city back. This will be a combat operation to get this city under control.\u201d The amphibious assault ship <em>Bataan<\/em> was in the area, but kept its helicopters on board after pilots reported sniper fire.<\/p>\n<p>Many soldiers came under gunfire from civilians. \u201cI never thought that as a National Guardsman I would be shot at by other Americans,\u201d said Philip Baccus of the 527th Engineer Battalion. \u201cAnd I never thought I\u2019d have to carry a rifle when on a hurricane relief mission. This is a disgrace.\u201d Cliff Ferguson of the same battalion added: \u201cYou have to think about whether it is worth risking your neck for someone who will turn around and shoot at you. We didn\u2019t come here to fight a war. We came here to help.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Michael Brown, head of FEMA, said: \u201cWe are working under conditions of urban warfare.\u201d General Blum of the National Guard said half of the 7,000 guardsmen under his command had just returned from overseas assignments and were \u201chighly proficient in the use of lethal force.\u201d He promised to deal with thugs \u201cin a quick and efficient manner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shoot-to-kill orders were supposed to have gone out, and Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco boasted that battle-hardened veterans would put down the violence in no time. However, there were few accounts of soldiers firing their weapons. The London <em>Times<\/em> reported that a New Orleans policeman explained through tears that he had seen bodies riddled with bullets, and one man with the top of his head shot off. He said looters were armed with stolen AK-47 rifles, and that the police were outgunned just like in Somalia. \u201cIt\u2019s a war-zone, and they\u2019re [the federal government] not treating it like one,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>We will never know the full extent of the mayhem blacks loosed on their own city. Many victims will not be found for weeks or even months, rotted beyond recognition, their killers never found. Drowned or murdered, the bloated, stinking bodies that turn up by the hundreds will look much the same. In their haste to get cadavers off the streets, the authorities may not worry much about cause of death.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_209927\" style=\"width: 644px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Looting-in-Manhatten-amid-protests-over-the-death-of-George-Floyd.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-209927\" class=\"wp-image-209927 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Looting-in-Manhatten-amid-protests-over-the-death-of-George-Floyd.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Looting-in-Manhatten-amid-protests-over-the-death-of-George-Floyd.jpg 634w, https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Looting-in-Manhatten-amid-protests-over-the-death-of-George-Floyd-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-209927\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Looting in Manhatten amid protests over the death of George Floyd, or at least that was the pretext.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>From Hurricane to Jungle<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In the two main refugee centers, however \u2014 the Superdome and the Convention Center \u2014 too many people witnessed the degeneracy for it to be ignored. The first refugees had arrived at the Superdome the day before the hurricane, on Sunday, August 28. The last finally left the stadium on Saturday, Sept, 3, so some people may have spent nearly a week in what, after the toilets began to overflow, became known as the \u201cSewerdome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Preparation for refugees was pitifully inadequate. By day, as many as 25,000 people sweltered in temperatures that rose into the 100s. Whatever order had been established soon melted away, and the stadium reverted to the jungle. Young men robbed and raped with impunity. Occasional gunshots panicked the crowd. At least one man committed suicide by throwing himself off a high deck and splattering onto the playing field. Bodies of the murdered, and of infants and the elderly who died of heat exhaustion began to accumulate. Six babies were born in the stadium. Charles Womack, a 30-year-old roofer, said he saw one man beaten to death, and was, himself beaten with a pipe. Crack addicts \u2014 who had brought their most valuable possession with them \u2014 smoked openly and fought over drugs.<\/p>\n<p>A group of about 30 British students were among the very small number of whites in the stadium, where they spent four harrowing days. Jamie Trout, 22, an economics major, wrote that the scene \u201cwas like something out of <em>Lord of the Flies,<\/em>\u201d with \u201cpeople shouting racial abuse about us being white.\u201d One night, word came that the power was failing, and that there was only ten minutes\u2019 worth of gas for the generators. Zoe Smith, 21, from Hull, said they all feared for their lives: \u201cAll us girls sat in the middle while the boys sat on the outside, with chairs as protection,\u201d she said. \u201cWe were absolutely terrified, the situation had descended into chaos, people were very hostile and the living conditions were horrendous.\u201d She said that even during the day, \u201cwhen we offered to help with the cleaning, the locals gave us abuse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trout said the National Guard finally recognized how dangerous the threat was from blacks, and moved the British under guard to the basketball area, which was safer. \u201cThe army warned us to keep our bags close to us and to grip them tight,\u201d he said, as they were escorted out. Twenty-year-old Jane Wheeldon credited one man in particular, Sgt. Garland Ogden, with getting the Britons safely out. \u201cHe went against a lot of rules to get us moved,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Australian tourists stuck in the Superdome had the same experience. Bud Hopes, a 32-year-old man from Kangaroo Point, Brisbane, took control and may have saved many lives. As the stadium reverted to anarchy, he realized whites were in danger, and gathered tourists together for safety. \u201cThere were 65 of us altogether so we were able to look after each other, especially the girls who were being grabbed and threatened,\u201d said Mr. Hopes. They organized escorts for women who had to go to the toilet or for food, and set up a roster of men to stand guard while others slept. \u201cWe sat through the night just watching each other, not knowing if we would be alive in the morning,\u201d Mr. Hopes said. \u201cNinety-eight percent of the people around the world are good,\u201d he said; \u201cin that place 98 per cent of the people were bad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>John McNeil of Coorparoo in Brisbane tells what happened when their group, too, heard the lights were about to go out: \u201cI looked at Bud [Hopes] and said, \u2018That will be the end of us.\u2019 The gangs had already eyed us off. If the lights had gone out we would have been in deep trouble. We were sitting there praying for a miracle and the lights stayed on.\u201d Mr. Hopes said the Australians owed their lives to a National Guardsman who broke the rules and got whites out to a medical center past seething crowds of blacks.<\/p>\n<p>Peter McNeil of Brisbane told the Australian AP that his son John was one of the 65 who managed to get out. The blacks were reportedly so hostile \u201cthey would stab you as soon as look at you.\u201d \u201cHe\u2019s never been so scared in his life,\u201d explained Mr. McNeil. \u201cHe just said they had to get out of the dark. Otherwise, another night, he said, they would have been gone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>No American newspaper wrote about what these white tourists went through.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When guardsmen began to show up in force on Sept. 1 and take control, some blacks met them with cheers, but others shouted obscenities. Capt. John Pollard of the Texas Air National Guard said 20,000 people were in the dome when the evacuation began, but thousands more appeared from surrounding areas when word got out that there were buses leaving town. Soldiers held their M-16s and grenade-launchers at the ready, and kept a sharp eye out for snipers.<\/p>\n<p>That same day, when it was time to board buses for Houston, soldiers had trouble controlling the crowd. People at the back of the mob crushed the people in front against barricades soldiers put up to control the flow. Many people continued to yell obscenities whenever a patrol went by. Some were afraid of losing their place in line and defecated where they stood. The <em>Army Times<\/em> reported that Sgt. 1st Class Ron Dixon of the Oklahoma National Guard, who had recently come home from Afghanistan, said he was struck by the fact Afghanis wanted to help themselves, but that the people of New Orleans only wanted others to help them.<\/p>\n<p>By the evening of Sept. 3, the Superdome was finally evacuated, but the state-of-the-art stadium was a reeking cavern of filth, human waste, and an unknown number of corpses. It, too, had been looted of everything not bolted down. Janice Singleton was working at the stadium when the storm hit. She said she was robbed of everything, even her shoes. As for the building: \u201cThey tore that dome apart,\u201d she said sadly. \u201cThey tore it down. They taking everything out of there they can take.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Only afterwards did the public learn there were 50 police officers assigned to the Superdome, but they appear to have been completely ineffectual. Toni Blanco, a 24-year veteran, said police could not arrest anyone because there was no place to hold suspects, and they were afraid to use their guns for fear of the crowd. \u201cYou felt helpless in the sense there was absolutely nothing we could do for the city,\u201d she said. What did she do at night, when conditions were worst? She and another officer, Alecia Wright, would slip out to a patrol car and have a good cry. \u201cMany times we laid in the car and tears just rolled,\u201d said Miss Blanco. Some officers simply abandoned their posts and fled the Superdome.<\/p>\n<p>Conditions were even worse at the Convention Center. Although on high ground not far from the stadium, it had not been designated as a shelter. It was, however, beyond reach of the high water, and soon some 20,000 people were huddled in its cavernous halls. There were no supplies or staff, and for several days neither FEMA nor the National Guard seems to have known anyone was there.<\/p>\n<p>Armed gangs took control, and occasional gunshots caused panic. There was no power, and at night the center was plunged into complete darkness. Degeneracy struck almost immediately, with rapes, robbery, and murder. Terrible shrieking tore through the night, but no one could see, or dared to move. When Police Chief Eddie Compass heard what was happening, he sent a squad of 88 officers to investigate. They were overwhelmed by superior forces and retreated, leaving thousands to the mercy of criminals.<\/p>\n<p>It was not until Sept. 2 \u2014 four days after the hurricane \u2014 that a force of 1,000 National Guardsmen finally took over from the armed gangs. \u201cHad we gone in with a lesser force we may have been challenged, [and] innocents may have been caught in a fight,\u201d explained Gen. Blum.<\/p>\n<p>Sitting with her daughter and other relatives, Trolkyn Joseph, 37, told a reporter that men had wandered the center at night raping and murdering children. She said she found a dead 14-year old girl at 5 a.m. on Friday morning, four hours after the girl went missing. \u201cShe was raped for four hours until she was dead,\u201d Miss Joseph said through tears. \u201cAnother child, a seven-year old boy, was found raped and murdered in the kitchen freezer last night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Africa Brumfield, 32, explained that women were in particular fear: \u201cThere is rapes going on here. Women cannot go to the bathroom without men. They are raping them and slitting their throats.\u201d Donald Anderson, 43, was at the convention center with his wife, who was six months pregnant: \u201cWe circled the chairs like wagons because at night there are stampedes,\u201d he said. \u201cWe had to survive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The very few whites in the crowd were terrified. Eighty-year-old Selma Valenti, who was with her husband, said blacks threatened to kill them on Thursday, Sept. 1. \u201cThey hated us. Four young black men told us the buses were going to come last night and pick up the elderly so they were going to kill us,\u201d she said, sobbing. Presumably, the blacks wanted to take their places on the buses.<\/p>\n<p>The center was not entirely without a form of rough justice. A National Guardsman reported that a man who had raped and killed a young girl in the bathroom was caught by the crowd \u2014 which beat him to death.<\/p>\n<p>At one time there were as many as seven or eight corpses in front of the center, some of them with blood streaming from bullet wounds. Inside, there was an emergency morgue, but a National Guardsman refused to let a Reuters photographer take pictures. \u201cWe\u2019re not letting anyone in there anymore,\u201d he said. \u201cIf you want to take pictures of dead bodies, go to Iraq.\u201d By Saturday, Sept. 3, the center was mostly cleared of the living. Refugees pulled shirts over their noses trying to block out the smell as they walked past rotting bodies.<\/p>\n<p>Later it would be learned there were 30 to 40 bodies piled into the convention center\u2019s freezer, almost all of them murder victims. Arkansas National Guardsman Mikel Brooks showed a reporter the charnel house: \u201cI ain\u2019t got the stomach for it, even after what I saw in Iraq. In Iraq, it\u2019s one-on-one. It\u2019s war. It\u2019s fair. Here, it\u2019s just crazy. It\u2019s anarchy. . . . And this is America. This is just 300 miles south of where I live.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For the city as a whole, not even 50,000 soldiers and federal rescue workers could bring calm. On Sunday, Sept. 4, contractors working for the US Army Corps of Engineers came under fire. Their police escort returned fire and killed four attackers.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Sept, 5, a week after the hurricane and after virtually everyone who wanted to get out was gone, there was still widespread banditry. \u201cWe\u2019re having some pretty intense gun battles breaking out around the city,\u201d said Capt. Jeff Winn of the New Orleans SWAT team. \u201cArmed gangs of from eight to 15 young men are riding around in pickup trucks, looting and raping.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brian McKay was one of 300 Arkansas guardsmen just back from Iraq. He was in full battle gear, including body armor, putting down insurgents. \u201cIt\u2019s like Baghdad on a bad day,\u201d he said. Another Arkansan veteran under fire agreed: \u201cIt\u2019s just so much like Iraq, it\u2019s not funny, except for all the water, and they speak English.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since the old jail was flooded, police set up a holding pen at the Greyhound bus terminal. State Attorney General Charles Foti said there were plans for a temporary court system, but no one knew how they were going to assemble juries or call witnesses. The grim business began of combing the drowning city for corpses and the remaining survivors.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Reactions<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The world reacted with astonishment to sights it never expected to see in America. \u201cAnarchy in the USA,\u201d read the headline in Britain\u2019s best-selling newspaper, <em>The Sun<\/em>. \u201cApocalypse Now,\u201d said <em>Handelsblatt <\/em>in Germany. Mario de Carvalho, a veteran Portuguese cameraman, who covers the world\u2019s trouble spots, said he saw the bodies of babies and old people along the highways leading out of New Orleans. \u201cIt\u2019s a chaotic situation. It\u2019s terrible. It\u2019s a situation we generally see in other countries, in the Third World,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Some Third-Worlders would have been insulted. \u201cI am absolutely disgusted,\u201d said Sajeewa Chinthaka, 36, of the looters. The Sri Lanka native added: \u201cAfter the tsunami our people, even the ones who lost everything, wanted to help the others who were suffering. Not a single tourist caught in the tsunami was mugged. Now with all this happening in the U.S. we can easily see where the civilized part of the world\u2019s population is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the United States, the stark contrast between endless scenes of appalling behavior by blacks and rescue personnel who were almost all white was greeted with the standard foolishness. Some people accused the \u201cbiased\u201d media of suppressing footage of rampaging whites and heroic black helicopter pilots.<\/p>\n<p>Many blacks made excuses for looters. \u201cDesperate people do desperate things,\u201d said US Rep. Diane Watson of California. Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. from Illinois, said we must not judge harshly: \u201cWho are we to say what law and order should be in this unspeakable environment?\u201d Rep. Melvin Watt, North Carolina Democrat and chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, was perhaps the greatest ass of all: \u201cWhatever is being taken could not be used by anyone else anyway,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Many blacks took it for granted that federal relief was slow because the victims were black. Rep. Elijah Cummings said \u201cpoverty, age and skin color\u201d determined who lived and who died. Hilary Shelton, director of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amren.com\/tag\/the-naacp\/\">NAACP<\/a>\u2019s Washington bureau, blasted \u201cdisparate treatment\u201d of Katrina victims. \u201cMany black people feel that their race, their property conditions and their voting patterns have been a factor in the response,\u201d explained <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amren.com\/tag\/jesse-jackson\/\">Jesse Jackson, Sr<\/a>. He said the rubbish outside the Convention Center made the place look \u201clike the hull of a slave ship.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amren.com\/news\/2008\/12\/neverending_gui\/\">Black activist and reparations-booster Randall Robinson<\/a> said the relief effort was the \u201cdefining watershed moment in America\u2019s racial history.\u201d He said he had \u201cfinally come to see my country for what it really is. A monstrous fraud.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Democratic Rep. Carolyn Kilpatrick of Michigan said she was \u201cashamed of America and . . . of our government.\u201d The mayor of New Orleans, Ray Nagin \u2014 the man who gave city workers a vacation when the feds arrived \u2014 shouted and wept on local radio, demanding of federal officials: \u201cGet off your asses, and let\u2019s do something.\u201d There was an undercurrent of fury at a meeting of black leaders in Detroit. One audience member wanted to know whether the slow federal response was \u201cblack genocide.\u201d Another shouted, \u201cAfrican Americans built this nation. Descendants of slaves are being allowed to die.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One black man, observing the chaos from abroad, took a different view. Leighton Levy wrote in the Sept. 2 <em>Jamaica Star<\/em>: \u201cI am beginning to believe that black people, no matter where in the world they are, are cursed with a genetic predisposition to steal, murder, and create mayhem.\u201d He wanted to know why there was no footage of white looters: \u201cIs it that the media are not showing pictures of them looting and robbing? Or is it that they are too busy trying to stay alive, waiting to be rescued, and hiding from the blacks?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Most blacks and many whites fell into the usual assumptions about omnipotent white government and helpless Negroes. If black people were suffering it was because whites had not done enough for them. It did not occur to them that it was the responsibility of New Orleans and the state of Louisiana \u2014 not the federal government \u2014 to prepare for hurricanes. Before the storm, Mayor Nagin issued a mandatory evacuation only under pressure from the Bush administration. The mayor then did nothing to enforce the order, leaving hundreds of city buses and school buses to drown, rather than use them to offer transportation to people without cars.<\/p>\n<p>Something of the mood of black New Orleans was caught by Fox News film crews as late as Sunday, Sept. 4. White volunteers were trying to persuade a black woman and her small children to leave her flooded house. \u201cYou\u2019ve got to get out,\u201d they explained. \u201cThe water isn\u2019t going away.\u201d A black man at the top of a multi-story building told a helicopter crew he didn\u2019t need to leave. All he needed was some supplies.<\/p>\n<p>These people could not understand something that was obvious to the whole world: New Orleans had no electricity, no plumbing, no transport, and no food. Blacks refused to leave their flooded homes, even though to stay meant near-certain death.<\/p>\n<p>Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff noted how crazy it was to stay in the wreckage. \u201cThat is not a reasonable alternative,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are not going to be able to have people sitting in houses in the city of New Orleans for weeks and months while we de-water and clean this city.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>FEMA reported that it had pulled three Carnival Cruise Lines ships from commercial duty to shelter the blacks of New Orleans. Maybe the chance of berth on the <em>Ecstasy<\/em>, the <em>Sensation<\/em> or the <em>Holiday<\/em> would be enough to drag them out of the muck.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Lessons<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ninety-nine percent of the white people left New Orleans when the evacuation order went out. Some 80,000 blacks could not or would not leave. Whites did not \u201cleave them behind,\u201d as the editorial writers keep telling us. No one could have gotten some of them to leave \u2014 a number of men cheerfully admitted they stayed in town to loot \u2014 but if it was anyone\u2019s job to give them the option, it was that of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amren.com\/tag\/blacks-in-charge\/\">black-run<\/a> city government. Of the blacks who stayed, probably only a minority committed crimes, but they were enough to turn the city into a hell hole. Some did unspeakable things: loot hospitals, fire on rescue teams, destroy ambulances. No amount of excuse-making and finger-pointing can paper over degeneracy like that. Black people \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amren.com\/tag\/black-culture\/\">and only black people<\/a> \u2014 did these things.<\/p>\n<p>The Superdome and the Convention Center were certainly unpleasant places to spend three or four days, but 50,000 whites would have behaved completely differently. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amren.com\/news\/2017\/11\/white-people-jared-taylor-racial-differences\/\">They would have established rules, organized supplies, cared for the sick and dying<\/a>. They would have organized games for children. The papers would be full of stories of selflessness and community spirit.<\/p>\n<p>Natural disasters usually bring out the best in people, who help neighbors and strangers alike. For blacks \u2014 at least the lower-class blacks of New Orleans \u2014 disaster was an excuse to loot, rob, rape and kill.<\/p>\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amren.com\/tag\/pandering-politicians\/\">rulers<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amren.com\/tag\/media-bias\/\">media executives<\/a> will try to turn the story of Hurricane Katrina into yet another morality tale of downtrodden blacks and heartless whites, but pandering of this kind fools fewer and fewer people.<\/p>\n<p>Many whites will realize \u2014 some for the first time \u2014 that we have Africa in our midst, that utterly alien Africa of road-side corpses, cruelty, and anarchy that they thought could never wash up on these shores.<\/p>\n<p>To be sure, the story of Hurricane Katrina does have a moral for anyone not deliberately blind. The races are different. Blacks and whites are different. When blacks are left entirely to their own devices, Western Civilization \u2014 any kind of civilization \u2014 disappears.<\/p>\n<p>And in a crisis, Western Civilization disappears overnight.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>America is fragile.<\/p>\n<p>What happens when an EMP wipes out all communication, vehicular traffic, internet, and batteries?
