OYM Ep.80 So What's Happening in Maui?

Occupy Your Mind! Think for yourself. Your voice matters.Think.Speak.Stay human.Show us your smile.

Back in 2005, a hurricane caused a lot of damage in New Orleans. It was speculated that some politicians knew the levees might break during the hurricane but they did nothing to repair or improve the infrastructure so that the region would be prepared for the next hurricane. While affluent people were able to flee the area, many people--mostly poor and people of color--were stranded at the disaster site where food and clean water was now scarce. Reports indicated that when some people tried to donate water or other supplies, they were turned away. The Red Cross turned away perspective volunteers, saying they already had enough despite the great need.

Similar sketchy reports are coming from Maui where roads have been closed off to traffic, preventing not only those who want to help or donate enter the site, but also preventing journalists from arriving to report on what is really going on there.

What is really going on there?

Are areas being targeted for being turned into "smart cities" going to experience natural disasters so that the WEF and Fiends can buy up their land and "build back better"?

Are these "natural" disasters just another way to get people accustomed to living in shelters? To losing their homes and be forced to share space with others? Will we all find ourselves living like refugees, on camps, at some point in the near future?

Many people around the world live on refugee camps. They are trapped in a permanent state of homelessness. Do we want this for ourselves? Do we want this for anyone? Why do people around the world subsist on refugee camps? Could it be that the same political turmoil fueled by corruption and faulty public policy is now coming to us here in the USSA? Uh, excuse me, I meant "USA." That extra "s" implies that the United States is becoming similar to the former Soviet Union. Nothing could be further from the truth.

In fact, the United States is becoming like a combination of Orwell's 1984 and Huxley's Brave New World.
