POPSChile earthquake: How California would fare Ramirez says the very definition of “earthquake prepared” needs to be examined. “It is possible to be disaster prepared, meaning ready to respond and recover to a disaster generically, but the concept of being 'EQ prepared' implies that the earthquake will have less effect on you than your neighbor who is not 'EQ prepared.' This is simply not true at any level of quake. Prepare to respond, prepared to survive, prepare to recover, and prepare to move on," he says. "That is disaster preparedness.” IN PICTURES: Images from the 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Chile

POPSChemung targets flood map fears "We're going to go back and start this over again," he said during a news conference Wednesday. Local officials have expressed alarm about preliminary mapping that includes areas not prone to flooding. Currently, fewer than 300 properties have flood insurance in the two municipalities, he said. Homeowners with loans on their properties could be required to buy costly flood insurance if their properties are added to the flood-hazard areas, he said. Santulli said Flemming assured him that the maps were released inadvertently by the contractor without FEMA's knowledge or approval.

POPS1,000 Architects & Engineers Call for New 9/11 Investigation
Could these professionals know what they're talking about? One of them, Mr. Gage, states, "The official FEMA and NIST reports provide insufficient, contradictory, and fraudulent accounts of the circumstances of the towers' destruction. We are therefore calling for a grand jury investigation of NIST officials. Gage points out the destruction of the third high-rise, World Trade Center 7, a 47-story skyscraper which was not hit by an aircraft, yet came down in pure free-fall acceleration for more than 100 feet, a significant fact that NIST has been forced to admit, due to research conducted by AE911Truth petition signers. Other disturbing facts emerging from the forensic evidence include: Complete destruction of both Twin Towers in just 10 to 14 seconds at near free-fall acceleration Over 100 first-responder reports of explosions and flashes at onset of destruction Multi-ton steel sections ejected laterally 600 ft at 60 mph Mid-air pulverization of 90,000 tons of concrete & metal

POPSHaiti After-Action Report ~ Disturbing Political Dysfunction There are easily 200,000 dead; the city smells like a charnel house. The bloody UN was there for 5 years doing apparently nothing but wasting US taxpayers' money. The ones I ran into were either incompetent or outright anti-American. Most are French or French speakers, worthless every damn one of them. While 1,800 rescuers were ready, willing and able to leave the airport and go do their jobs, the UN and USAID (another organization full of little Obamaites and Communists that openly speak against America). These two organizations exemplified their parochialism by: USAID, when in control of all inbound flights, had food and water flights stacked up all the way to Miami, yet allowed Geraldo Rivera, Anderson Cooper and a host of other left wing news puppies to land. Pulled all the security off the rescue teams so that Bill Clinton and his wife could have the grand tour, whilst we sat unable to get to people trapped in the rubble.

POPS9-11 Commission- Set up to Fail Kurt Sonnenfeld was contracted by several governmental agencies and programs for classified and “sensitive” operations at military and scientific installations throughout the United States. On September 11, 2001, the area known as “Ground Zero” was sealed from the public eye. Sonnenfeld, however, was given unrestricted access enabling him to document for the investigation (that never took place) and provide some “sanitized” pool video to virtually every news network in the world. The tapes that reveal some of the anomalies which he discovered at Ground Zero are still in his possession. Accused of a crime that did not occur in a manifest frame-up scenario, Kurt Sonnenfeld has been persecuted across continents. After several years of fear, injustice and isolation, he has decided to take a public stand against the Government’s official story and is prepared to submit his material to the close scrutiny of reliable experts.

POPSIs Anyone Else Questioning This???? 5. Obama's Defense Secretary Robert Gates said, "I don't know how this government could have responded faster or more comprehensively than it has." We know Gates doesn't know. 6. >From my own work in the field, I know that FEMA has access to ready-to-go potable water, generators, mobile medical equipment and more for hurricane relief on the Gulf Coast. It's all still there. Army Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré, who served as the task force commander for emergency response after Hurricane Katrina, told the Christian Science Monitor, "I thought we had learned that from Katrina, take food and water and start evacuating people." Maybe we learned but, apparently, Gates and the Defense Department missed school that day. GO TO SOURCE for MORE...then question what is going on?

CA Catherine Saillant | LATIMES | "The federal government has informed property owners in more than 150 cities and unincorporated areas in Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, Riverside and San Bernardino counties about the new requirement.

POPS9/11 Tragedy Pager Intercepts Released 8:53:44 AM "NYPD Ops Div" POSSIBLE EXPLOSION WORLD TRADE CENTER BUILDING. LEVEL 3 Conspiracy theorists are hoping that the messages will reveal a "smoking gun" showing that US intelligence agencies had advanced knowledge of the attacks, which left 3,000 people dead. To help sort through the mass of information, Wikileaks is encouraging readers to post any interesting discoveries on a specially-created page on the social news website Reddit. A preview of some of the most revealing messages trailed online included several moving eyewitness testimonies. Others messages reflect the panic and misinformation that swirled on the day of the attacks. "It’s reported that a US military helicopter circled the building then crashed into or next to the Pentagon – it’s not clear to whether it was the White House or the Pentagon – they are being evacuated," reads one. http://www.wikileaks.com/wiki/Wikileaks_publishes_500%2C000_pager_messages_sent_on_9/11

POPSFEMA: ACORN Did Not Receive Funds Slated for Louisiana Firefighters Washington Times story is factually incorrect, and ACORN, in a statement, defended its fire prevention work and sharply criticized Vitter, suggesting the senator was attacking it to distract attention from his own prostitution scandal. “Senator Vitter was with ACORN before he was against us. Sen. Vitter knows ACORN's track record on helping communities prevent tragedy, which is why our fire prevention work in low-income communities is important,” the statement said. “Senator Vitter worked with ACORN in the wake of Hurricane Katrina to rebuild New Orleans. He provided support letters to many of our projects. It wasn't until after his prostitution scandal, and until it became politically convenient, that Sen. Vitter changed his tune.” - see clipsource

POPS500,000 plastic coffins on a Georgia highway "At present there are 800 FEMA prison camps across the USA. Each has the capacity of holding 20,000 citizens. I say citizens because they will be used against us, my friend. They are presently armed with guards and there is rail-road access and airport to some and roads leading directly to the prisons. The beds are concrete. You do the math. People get ready, there's a storm a comin'. " Note the date, this came before swine flu propaganda, there are now many more.

POPSFEMA Grant to ACORN is Offensive Rest of Article Below... I’ve had grave reservations about ACORN for some time, and over the past year we’ve seen numerous examples of serious allegations of wrongdoing on the part of this organization and its employees across the country. I simply can’t see the logic behind diverting much needed funding from worthy fire departments to this organization. So last week, I wrote a letter to Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano requesting that she rescind this grant from ACORN. As of today, the Secretary has not responded to my request. This site will post a copy of the letter for you to read and see for yourself. Rest assured, I’ll keep working to help prevent further ACORN schemes to procure federal money.

POPSFEMA Grant to ACORN is Offensive Yes, it is! Our capital city is trying to cut back on police officers and to merge fire-fighters and the EMS to save money (which in itself is ridiculous), but I'd be willing to guess that our local ACORN organization got some of this money. Especially since our RINO Governor took all the Stimulus money and we've seen no apparent changes.

POPSLearn to Rescue Yourselves I'd liked to have seen FEMA issue a release like this before hurricane season. We still want to believe a magical white stallion will rescue us no matter how little we do to help ourselves. FTA: "“Within 72 to 98 hours from the time of impact of a disaster, you only have each other to depend on for help,” Cruz told The STAR in an interview. “People are so reliant on (hotlines like) 911, thinking it’s (rescue) going to happen (soon). The fact is it’s not,” he added.

POPSACORN Plans "Internal Investigation"
Rep. Gus Bilirakis, R-Fla., said he's asked the Federal Emergency Management Agency to repeal a nearly $1 million grant it awarded to ACORN earlier this month. FEMA awarded $997,402 to ACORN in New Orleans on Sept. 4 as part of its Fire Prevention and Safety Grants program. The group plans to use the money to assess fire safety in the homes of low and moderate-income families and hand out smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and other fire prevention gear, ACORN's Brennan Griffin said. FEMA had no immediate comment on Bilirakis' request. The video released Monday was among several that have prompted the firing of at least four ACORN employees in Baltimore and Washington. It was created by James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles and posted on BigGovernment.com, where O'Keefe identifies himself as an activist filmmaker. In the film, O'Keefe and Giles enter an ACORN office in Brooklyn and O'Keefe can be heard stating that "we have a unique life situation" and asking . . .

POPSKatrina Kriminal: poor, former renter, black Warning - you may not want to read this since it is about racial bias and elitism's effects in America. Four years ago Katrina laid bare the depth of racism and elitism in not just New Orleans, Louisiana but in the USA. Reminds me of why we tolerate genocide in the Sudan, high crime and homicide rates in predominately Black-American neighborhoods, and very high infante mortality in the Black and or poor America.
