Sandy Aftermath: Description of Situation Inside FEMA Camp. "We got Fucked"

I have to agree with you. If you can't take care of yourself and do not have anyone to help you besides the gov this is what happens.

Are you kidding me??

you are joking right??

You think taking away someone's freedoms is ok for the sake of "protection"??

How many are out there that think like you??

If a lot we are doomed as a world. This will soon be a prison camp world


Go live in a locked down prison camp for your own protection right now.
Sounds like you are feeling really unsafe and
let them take "care" of you

just don't whine when the gunman show up

does anyone find it strange that people are starving and martial law spreading?

no help for american citizens only expansion of martial law

And yet they remain.

Just two questions if anyone knows the answers...

1. Were (are) they allowed to leave?

2. is the tent city out in the boonies, or walking distance from civilization?

Why was it awarded two weeks BEFORE Superstorm Sandy? Did they know something?

hahaha...what i remember is the SHILLS being out in full force, and maybe people are so programmed they had doubts because of the shills, and didn't go to safety because they read on GLP that 'it would fizzle' and 'this was normal.'

Food and water, a cot, a blanket, inside a partially heated tent is a whole lot better than sleeping under a bridge with trolls lurking about.

Just feed them all massive doses of klonopin. When it's time to do some work, amphetamine. Someone acting out of line? Thorazine.

I wonder if people seeing this video will realize what the word "prepare" and/or evacuate means now? So many people didn't "prepare" or evacuate. So many people thought they'd go on, as normal, within days of this disaster. So many people were, and some still are, walking around with blinders on.

Now they blame the government for not preparing for them.

In our home we would have a minimum of 2 weeks’ worth of food, no problem. Being told to prepare, we’d get in another 2 weeks’ worth.. When evacuation is called for, and people don’t have vehicles because they use city transit.. how do you take, 2 weeks’ worth of food with you? You cannot carry that much stuff onto a bus.

It’s been 2 weeks for these people.. the bus service isn’t on line, to them yet. That is not acceptable. Were those busses damaged in the storm? If so, alternate arrangements by their city council should have been made. Where is their city council?

Garbage pickup isn’t happening. That is not acceptable. Did those garbage trucks get damaged? If so alternate arrangements should have been made..Where is their city council?

There are people who are still trying to get to work on a daily basis, without the city infrastructure to support them as would normally be the case… The Feds can provide the money to help and send in the forces but your city council is responsible for arranging and planning for these things. If they aren’t doing their jobs, then all the money and manpower in the world won’t help.. The money needs to be spent on the right things and the man power needs to be directed to jobs based on highest priority.

God knows, I wouldn't want to be in a high rise with no power or water. What a horrible situation. But getting power on to those buildings means fixing the wiring that was soaked by salt water.. that could take months. People in those buildings really do need to get out of there. It would seem to me that a tent city would be a far better place to be than in the growing squalor of a tenement building.

Next time people are told to "prepare" and/or evacuate I wonder how many actually will?

not sure about #1

the camp is located at Monmouth Race Track and according to Google maps there's a 7-11 across the street.

I don't see much else in the immediate area

The sad reality is that Snooki and the rest of the Jersey shore crew all safe somewhere in California probably.

Most dynamic post of the thread thus far.

So? cut back on the security measures, and let the women and children protect themselves against predators.. and God knows there are predators.

Once the attacks start happening.. are you going to be one of the people saying there should have been more protection in place for these people?

If I want to work, and keep my job.. it means working in a secure building. No one forced me to take this job. I had to accept the security measures, just like everyone else in the building.. or find other work.

I guess the same scenario is in place for those in the "tent city". But, once they have decided to accept the security of this site, then it's time to roll up sleeves and make the best of this situation. Get the games, cards, books, and whatever else you need to keep minds from being bored.. offer to help where needed and get on with life, until you can go back home, or permanently relocate. I'm thinking a fair number of these people will never be able to go back home.. there will be a lot of demolition taking place I'm sure.

its all failing, peter king the head of homeland security wants the military to take over LIPA, a public light company.

They are forcing people from there homes, by making it unsafe to live there and into FEMA camps...plain and simple.

ah, it IS a douchebert thread...wow nice, super pin for one cut n paste post, and OP takes a hike. TYPICAL.

So I'm not the only one that has noticed the frequency of this.

Thanks... didn't think about using google earth.

So it's not out in the boonies.

Maybe tricking them to get on the bus with the lure of a motel room was a prickish deed, but if they can come and go as they please... I got no problem with it.

When Katrina happened, everyone was saying THAT was the trial run.

Are you kidding me?? No I'm not!
you are joking right?? No I'm not!

You think taking away someone's freedoms is ok for the sake of "protection"?? Every one has the option to either go and make the best of it, or make other arrangements for themselves.. their freedom is not in question here, but their security is!

How many are out there that think like you?? I would hope many people think like I do.

If a lot we are doomed as a world. This will soon be a prison camp world... This isn't a prison camp! People can go in and out with their cards at will... the card is to show you are registered there and are free to come and go as they please.

Go live in a locked down prison camp for your own protection right now.
Sounds like you are feeling really unsafe and
let them take "care" of you...just don't whine when the gunman show up....Funny! I had to register and pay membership here if I wanted an ad-free experience while on this site. Is that also part of your "prison state"?

The bottom line is, you do what you have to, to get the experience you want. No one forced anyone into those tent cities.. people can leave.. just like no one forced me to pay for my membership here so that I could rid myself of those dam ads. It's called "freedom of choice"

THEY WERE FUCKED ALONG TIME BEFORE SANDY AND USE ALL DID IT TO YOURSELFS

Great,another fucking cap tard.

No Red Tape? Non-Union FEMA Crews, Water and Other Supplies Sit Idle Thanks To Unions & Red Tape

It’s been two weeks since Hurricane Sandy killed 113 people, wiped out portions of towns, and knocked out power to millions. It has also been two weeks since Barack Obama pledged, “No bureaucracy. No red tape.”

However, according to multiple public and private sources, unions and union-related red tape are causing workers from out of state to be turned back, as well as workers contracted by FEMA, as well as tons of supplies, already in New York and New Jersey to sit idle—at a cost of millions to taxpayers.

If you didn't prepare then whine because you didn't and expect to be handed a silver platter...
I see the prison camp thing going on and it probably is a practice run,again.
Protection and safety are an issue and whom would you pick to protect you in these circumstances?
People are sheep they do NOT take responsibility for themselves and expect others to hand it to them when they are down. With that said people that have done the right thing and are now stuck in this BS...can only look at it as experience. Bitching doesn't change shit action does. Fire the crap politicians and praise the good ones.
I am sure all the utility workers are doing their best...there was just so much destruction . People have to see that the government isn't able to help each person individually...wake up help your selves!PREPARE.

So the Feds held up their end of the bargain, sent supplies and help.. and it's being stopped at the State, County, or Municipal Level? ... By Unions?

Who the hell runs this country? Unions?

Those who are pissed about the lack of resources being deployed need to find out who to direct their anger at.. and then go after them with a vengeance.

and MR PREZ re elected is out playing GOLF !

yup..seems that way

more from the article..

(snip)

While there are about 4,000 National Guardsmen at Bennett Field, there are hundreds of out-of-state contractors for FEMA, many of them linemen and electricians, that are not being deployed to help turn power pack on for residents because of the red tape.

On Sunday, out of the 400-500 workers available, according to the source, only three crews went out. Crews, he said, are usually two-man teams.

The union crews, the source stated, are free to come and go as they please, yet the non-union FEMA contractors are being held back because of red tape requirements.

The red-tape bottleneck, he said, comes from the Corps of Engineers. They get work orders in (places that need help), but the work orders don’t come out as they should.

“I’ve never seen anything like it,” the source said over the weekend.

On Sunday night, FEMA contractors put in one generator for a 14-floor building. Just one.

On top of that, there are tons of supplies in trailers, as well as rows and rows of water that are not being delivered.

So the "core of engineers" is the reason for the hold up?

Is it because they have to be sure the places are safe to be hooked up before they can send a crew? Because hooking up a water soaked electrical system would be nothing but trouble and potential death to those in the building.
If that is the case.. most electric lineman are able to check the safety status of buildings .. in a case like this where there are so many buildings without power.. they should allow the lineman to inspect before hooking up.. if there are questions once they've inspected, then call in the "core of engineers" for a look.

Who does the "core of engineers" take their orders from? Do you know? And why in heavens name would they stop the supplies and water from being delivered?
