FEMA Forces Firefighters to Stand Down in Texas

In an outrageous repeat of Katrina, the federal government has moved into wildfire-stricken Texas and turned away firefighting trained volunteers who had converged on Bastrop and Smithville to combat the out of control flames.

According to The Gonzales Cannon, federal officials arrived at the scene and assumed command of the operation under the pretense “local officials never made a formal request for volunteers.”

Jennifer Jones, a spokesperson with the U.S. National Interagency Incident Center, confirmed that a federal group comprised of several agencies would be assuming command in Bastrop County.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, FEMA refused to allow volunteer firefighters from around the nation, as well as trucks loaded with donated water, from entering New Orleans as troops, police, and mercenaries went house-to-house confiscating weapons.

Officials in Louisiana accused FEMA of making the situation worse with red tape and a hesitant response immediately after Katrina blasted into the coasts of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, the Los Angeles Times reported on September 5, 2005.

Alex Jones was contacted on Tuesday by firefighters who confirmed that FEMA is blocking volunteer assistance and has frustrated local attempts through the U.S. Forest Service and its maze of bureaucratic red tape. The firefighters and other volunteers report that the Forest Service is not responding to their efforts to clear federal hurdles put in the way of a response to the worst fire in Texas history.

In the past, the first line of defense during emergencies was the state National Guard. Since 9/11, however, the federal government has taken control of the Guard away from the states and has merged its operations with the Pentagon. In 2008, then Secretary of Defense Robert Gates commissioned a study proposing recommendations to merge the National Guard and Reserves into the U.S. armed forces.

In January 2010, Obama moved the process forward when he issued an executive order establishing a Council of Governors. “In other words, the Pentagon and Homeland Security will give hand-picked governors their marching orders under the guise of ‘synchronization and integration of State and Federal military activities in the United States,’ a direct violation of Posse Comitatus,” we wrote at the time.

In 2005, Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard told the national media that FEMA and the feds had abandoned New Orleans after the hurricane. He described how trucks with water delivered from Wal-Mart were turned back and FEMA cut emergency communication lines.

Investigative journalist Wayne Madsen said FEMA’s actions during Katrina amounted to information warfare. “Jamming radio and other communications such as television signals is part of a Pentagon tactic called ‘information blockade’ or ‘technology blockade.’ The tactic is one of a number of such operations that are part of the doctrine of ‘information warfare’ and is one of the psychological operations (PSYOPS) methods used by the US Special Operations Command,” he told Prison Planet.com on September 6, 2005.

It appears FEMA and the feds are attempting a repeat in Texas.

“The mission of FEMA has never in reality been to bring people food and water and help in times of crisis. Alex Jones has attended numerous FEMA drills where the whole point of the exercise is to round people up, break up families and institute a brutal police state crackdown,” Paul Joseph Watson wrote after the devastating storm in the Gulf.

  1. Cowabunga!!! Oh EMPEROR NERO loves to burn the CITY OF ROME! The globalists will do to Texas what they do to ROME!!!

  2. LOOK at the ACTIONS. Actions are revealing. If FEMA is getting in the way, then, we have to assume that the Feds do NOT want the fires stopped……yet.

  3. What would happen if a local sheriff stopped FEMA from bringing their scum cowardly asses into the area, his county?

    Oh that’s right. There aren’t any sheriffs with any balls left.

    • It is not a matter of balls, it is a matter of pay offs.

  4. who is this “dick” “rick” perry anyway.

    • A Globalist!

  5. Don’t Mess With Texas!

  6. Governor of Texas Rick Perry has to ASK the District of Columbia for help?? Shows the fckn control DC has.; people have to ASK. ( Gee golly Mr G-Man, our state is on fire so pretty pretty please can we have some help?? )

    • The District of Columbia has NO jurisdiction NOR any authority NOR any reason to get involved in state matters such as fire fighting. Therefore, no governor has any reason to ask for help from the District of Columbia.

      You, gonewiththewind, are either a federal operative or just a downright communist. Or maybe you are just a cowardly pussy who runs to mamma every time a real man is needed.

      • Perry is just followng the lead of his head corportate boss. United States governement. Or should I say the ‘federal family”

  7. This is exactly what Ron Paul was talking about! FEMA keeps the volunteers from other areas away! FEMA is the government they can’t do anything right! This is why government’s approval is at 10% at best.

  8. And people wonder why Ron Paul says we don’t need them.

  9. Texans, stand your ground. Tell these FEMA assholes to go back to the holes they came from. Protect your land, protect your liberty. DO NOT LET THIS STAND

    • I am afraid that there are not enough true Texans or Texicans to stand.

  10. … something about the chemtrails. Put chemicals in the air, aluminum like the solid rocket boosters, and you wonder why we got crazy weather and wild fires like we never seen before? Ain’t ‘science’ grand? … kill us all before we even paid the tax … something wrong in the world today.

  11. here comes FEMA
    federal storm troops
    you are forced to obey
    you forfeited your rights

    • “We don’t need Texas ,let the MF’er BURN”. Federal camp-fire song written @ Waco

  12. Hmmmm I SMELL SMOKE NOT FROM TEXAS FIRES BUT LAND GRAB FEMA MONGERS!!!!!!! PEOPLE OF TEXAS. FIGHT FOR YOUR LANDS NOW. .YOUR RIGHTS SAY YOUR LAND IS YOUR PRIVITE PROPERTY. IF YOU GIVE IN TO FEMA YOU’LL NEVER SEE YOUR LAND AGAIN!!!! NO MATTTER WHAT THEY PROMISE DON’T BELEIVE THEM…BETTER TO HAVE BURNED UP LAND THAN NO LAND AT ALL!!! Get your city councils behind you and state and local attorneys . They’ll leave huff and puff but they won’t blow your house down. LAND GRAB LAND GRAB LAND GRAB. KICK THEM OFF YOUR PROPERTIES NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW!!!

  13. The global warming camp has been touting the ‘unprecedented’ Texas fires as evidence of global warming.

    Now we know how it became unprecedented.

  14. In our city we did KICK THEM OFF PUBLIX PROPERTY( a local grocery store) WHAT STARTED IT ALL WAS FEMA promoted ice. Etc…. never came through. These rednecks out here went BALISTIC Publix store manager came out told FEMA TO TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE OFF OUR PROPERTY. Later there was a big city council meeting and FEMA TRIED TO FINE THE GROCERY STORE AND WE WON . It was deemed PRIVITE PROPERTY OWNERS RIGHTS TO PREVENT RIOTS ON HIS PROPERTY. THEN FEMA DISAPPEARED AND LATER CAME BACK TO SET UP ON A Local COLLEDGE CAMPUS. By then NO ONE WANTED THEM AROUND SO THE CITY ORGANIZED an assembly line drive through 1000s volunteered, trunks were filled with ice. Food needs. We were asked what do you need? And it was loaded in our trunks. This was after we were hit back to back with four hurricanes without power for weeks!!! That’s service local style NOT FEMA STYLE. ;@)

  15. Then the question comes who started those fires.
    Maybe they would rather burn some houses to try and save housing prices.
    I suppose it goes back to fire insurance and who it protects.
    With the FED and FEMA any criminal act should be considered a possibility.

    • Gives new meaning to: “Crash and Burn”

    • Yes, that’s the question, who started it? I just read they are blaming it on a homeless man or something. That would be a convenient target.

  16. This may be shocking, but here are 5 things you’re most likely wrong about and 5 things the media isn’t covering by any means.

    You never heard of Sarah Palin before she was announced as McCain’s running mate. If you believe that her name is really Sarah Palin, you’re wrong.

    Palin and McCain said they were going to reform Washington. If you think they were going to do this by getting elected, you’re wrong again.

    Obama disappeared for 2 weeks after winning the election only to reappear looking exhausted sitting next to a John McCain, with a bad poker face, for a press photo shoot. If you believe Obama has free will and the feds aren’t writing his teleprompter, you’re also wrong.

    If you believe that we caught Bin Laden immediately following the release of Obama’s birth certificate, you’re wrong again.

    If you believe that the feds haven’t recruited editors, journalists, and moderators to write the headlines and control the commenting on major news sites in an effort to suppress this information, you’re seriously wrong.

    This is the real story that the media is not and cannot report on. Learn what Osama, Obama, Biden, Bin Laden, the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists, and Sarah Palin had to do with the last election and the military’s overthrow of our government. Search PalinsDirtyLittleSecret.blogspot before it’s shut down.

  17. FEMA is after Ron Paul now.

  18. The people out number dam asshole fema push them out of the way and save your homes take charge!!!!!!!!

  19. Yoo fuck fema texas i kno u boys got high powered fully autos use em to save others whens enough enough texas has always been the front liners..much love and my prayers go out to those in texas …california is behind u

  20. we are fucked

  21. So what? They stood down, it is their fault and ours for allowing it to happen. But instead we will scream all day on the internet and on daily shows how it is yet another tyrannical act. Boooo hooooo. Crying should have stopped long ago.

  22. end the fed
    end the fraud
    END THE LIES OF THE CENTRAL BANKS RIGHT OUT OF THE TEN PLANKS
    OF THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO
    wake up wake up wake up wake up

  23. The Sheriff of Bastrop county should of told the feds to get the HELL out of his county!

  24. “In 2008, then Secretary of Defense Robert Gates commissioned a study proposing recommendations to merge the National Guard and Reserves into the U.S. armed forces.”

    – This is to remove the states’ autonomous resistance prior to a take-over. They are definitely going to bring the country down soon, most propbably economically.

  25. I’m just waking to the present joining of military and local governments nation wide that seems rough and over done so that the Fed is more in control of the States decision making without thier consent! It’s more dictatorial to give the military more say in what’s done now in Amerimuck!

  26. This is a prime example of big gov’t regulation ruling over top of prime American principals. What the hell is wrong with these people?!? To all you willing volunteers out there, screw regulation and stick to your principal.

  27. It is most regrettable that civil servants would choose such a reckless leadership to follow. I for one would have told my boss to go to hell, I have a job to do….but then being a man is more than just drinking beer and scratching ones butt, sometime you actually have to stand tall against idiots who are just plain stupid.

    • They are not stupid, they are diabolical and street-smart and the police state has come into being right under our noses.

      What do all these disasters have in common?

      1. Destruction of homes, making people homeless with no where to go. so lo and behold, FEMA camps. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

      2. Martial law.

      3. Hopelessness and despair. Loss of jobs, loss of property, and let’s not forget the depopulation agenda.

      I’m sure that is not the total of their plots.

  28. Hm! I wonder if FEMA is going to try the ole gun confiscation technique in TX?

  29. FEMA is doing what comes naturally: “Never let a good crisis go to waste.” They’ll make sure that maximum damage is done by the wildfires. FEMA = Fully Equipped Maniac Agency.
