Just got this from a friend in Rockaway***please share!!***

To rebuild it into something else under FED control.

This is NOT part of the Potus' job description unless this whole country is a welfare state (oh, I forgot - it is).

I did/do not like either potus, but I am tired of tossing my tax dollars to people who are too stoooooooopid to listen and prepare.

PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN TO TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES!!!!!

From another forum:

I was wondering how long it would be before the shock overcame the awe. I've chased 38 hurricanes over the past 18 years for NYC's biggest paper, and for the largest paper in SE FL; been in the eye of 30 of them. So please take this with the experience I have while writing about this topic.

Bloomberg was another Nagin with his completely unrealistic predictions about when things would "get back to normal." Nagin said New Orleans would be up and running in 90 days. Bloomberg had the transit system running in "2 or 3 days," - that's by tomorrow! - and the electrical up in "3 to 5 days," an equally delusional prediction. Why do they tell such lies?

You people are a combination of Ivan and Katrina. If you want the Real World of what to expect, read up on them. The pictures of your area could substitute for the devastation photographed in Pensacola from Ivan, and Mississippi and Louisiana from Katrina. It will take years to rebuild. More than you can now expect will never be rebuilt.

I am, like many of you, amazed at the cold, callous, judgment of Bloomberg about the Marathon and other priorities. You have people who are beyond destitute - and the top priority is not them. It is taking care of his fellow banksters and Wall Streeters; the everyday people be damned.

Let me give you the Reality Check that Bloomberg, et al. won't give you: 1) It will be at least two weeks before you are done rescuing people. You'll know it's over when they go from people sniffing dogs, to cadaver sniffing dogs; 2) You'll be lucky if you have electricity restored everywhere in two weeks; don't be surprised if some areas are out for nearly a month.; 3) As supplies of food and fuel disappear, it's going to get violent; 4) As the police begin to drop out from their 80-hours shifts, the looters will be out - look for the National Guard or US Army to finally restore order; 5) The insurance companies are going to withhold every penny they can from you - the truth is they don't have the funds to pay out what it will cost to pay off policies and I'm sure incredible numbers of people don't have flood insurance because they never thought it would ever flood, a la New Orleans; 6) Price gouging will be widespread as supplies dwindle; 7) Rebuilding will take years because of a) lack of people to do the work, and b) lack of money to pay for it - see the remark about the lack of flood insurance to understand why; 8) Some will never rebuild, a la New Orleans and Pensacola; 9) Drug and alcohol abuse will skyrocket, and with them domestic and street violence as people find no other outlet to dissipate stress and depression; 10) The use of mental health facilities, and stress related illnesses will also skyrocket, putting major demands on money for medical and prescription costs; 11) Bankruptcy of cities, townships, counties, and maybe even the state will become the only way out for over-burdened governments; 12) Bankruptcy will also sweep through all the marginal businesses in the area - they won't survive the timeline that they need to restore cash flow - and you can count on the banksters to do absolutely nothing to help them. The banksters aren't about to lend out the money they can write to themselves as multimillion dollar bonuses.

That's the top of the list for you. It's the Real World that you about to live. There is no easy way out - only the toughest will survive - the rest will end up dead from the stress, from suicide, from drug overdoses, or simply move away unable to cope with the devastation.

I pray for every one of you. There is no way to sugarcoat what you are about to experience.

If something is beyond comprehension how it could happen there are usually only two choices:

1) gross incompetence

2) intentional malice

How did Obama let this happen? He had days and days to have relief efforts started and moving in that direction. Days to prepare. What was he doing?

The Red Cross is the biggest racket next to United Way. Do not donate to either one of these shams. Trust me on this one.

Bullshit! We all pay alot of good hard earned money to our government, I want services that we are promised via the creation of agencies designed to assist with the issues that created them. If not, give me back my fucking taxes!!! These are huge disasters. Wonder where all the money really is????

And so begins the start of civil unrest in the country, for it will spread fast and hard. While a government cannot protect, it will fall to its knees while barbaric hoards - the people topple it from top to bottom thus creating a new foundation. I believe we are going to see alot of changes happening in the coming years. Prepare!

This is what happened to the Great Roman Empire, and it shall happen again.

BULLSHIT. Maybe in other countries there are problems but not close to home. Your making matters worse by telling people not to help. Go local and go donate goods rather than money or find some local church groups.

Give Obama a break. They did prepare. Hydro crews on stand by and everything. You have to realize that you cannot prepare fully for somthing like this. Just react to it after. People were told to get out. Maybe they will listen next time. There were plenty of shelters set up all over. If I were some of these people I would have found out where the closest fema camp was and gone there also. The roads are blocked. Power is down and some serious infrustructure has been wiped out. They told everybody that power and fuel was going to be an issue after the fact. Can't cry about it now.

Instead of pointing fingers go see what YOU can do to help. Get off your ass and go be a fellow human being. Go around your neiborhood and collect stuff and organize some relief or shut the fffffff up.

To destroy and rebuild serves BANKING interests as well as POLITICAL when you want to seize the area.

Yeah, like people are going to get up, drop everything and go drive into a hell hole only to get robbed and beat down, and abused by sewer rats that haven't eaten in days.

FUCK DAT.

OOPS! I see another 'entitlement baby' here!

Where is all the money (do some research) - in the corporate pockets, in Israel, pretty much anywhere but the US peoples interests. Been this way a loooooong time.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: Many of you are concerned about Rockaway, and all the coastal areas affected by Hurricane Sandy. As we approach day 3 from the storm, these considerations should be made:
1 - no considerable relief effort is being made for those who chose to wait out the storm. Whether you agree with the decision to stay or not, this means tens of thousands of people now in an area with no real access to food, drinkable water, heat, etc.
2 - effort now needs to be made to deal with immediate needs first, then to move people out of this area to a safe location before things get dire.

Any of you who know the Rockaways well will understand that there is a great economic disparity within a very small area. It would be wonderful to think that everyone will do everything to be helpful and kind to each other, but as of yesterday there was NO efforts being made in the downtown area to provide food/ etc, and there is a recipe for disaster on the burner there.
If you have friends in the area, urge them to take valuable belongings and clothes, and vacate.
If you are thinking of what you can do to help, I wish I knew what to say. The efforts being made in Manhattan do not reflect what is happening in the Rockaways, and the situation is about to transition from the immediate recovery to what the coming long term situation may very well be, which is an area that will have it's major services disconnected, in an effort to force residents to leave. If you feel the need to go and help, either be FULLY prepared to rough it. Not snow-day rough it, wilderness camping rough it. If you need a definition, DO NOT GO. If you have a vehicle and wish to drive, make sure it is 4x4 and that you are an experienced driver. There is no power, no lights.

Supplies to bring and distribute:

water, power bars, granola bars, etc. Think high protein, small space.

Socks, undergarments, baby wipes

Be prepared to drive people out, people you do not know. If they do not want to go, MAKE SURE THEY KNOW THAT THROUGH THURSDAY OF NEXT WEEK, TEMPERATURES WILL BE NO HIGHER THAN 50F DURING THE DAY. This means serious risk of hypothermia for those with no capability to full warm and dry themselves.

And remember, there is no gas in NYC at the moment. Do not make the situation worse by becoming another person in need there. Use your head. Call your local representatives, re-post this. The only efforts there right now are grass-roots, and if we all put our energy into keeping those affected safe, we can keep this from becoming a bigger disaster than it already is. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

That doesn't matter. They were told to leave in Katrina and didn't and the President was supposed to take care of them anyway. That's what I was told on the tv so I know it is true. This is the same. Obama is not taking care of them. There are people eating out of dumpsters and looting. No electricity back yet.

The President handles hurricanes and is supposed to make sure it is all good right after. That is what I was told on tv so it is true.

Why is Obama acting like Bush?

really? you wonder where the money is? trillions going to the military industrial complex and occupation of foreign countries while people sit around and blame food stamps and social security. it goes to banks, it goes to the military. and nobody cares about trillions in empire building, and corporate welfare, black projects and outright corruption. gee, whree does the money go. derpity derp deep

Canuck doesn't know shit, Red Cross sucks shit because they only take cash to pay the $1M salary of the CEO.

Fuck them, useless fucking turds.

And if you want to help, go buy yourself some preps so you don't burden someone else in the future, that is the best way to help.

Yes, I'm entitled to, and my fellow americans are as well, what I pay for. You may continue to pay them and when the shit hits the fan for you expect nothing in return. Gee, let's go back to feudalism and we can all be serfs again, oh,wait a minute...we are.
