Hurricanes Irma and Harvey: Natural disaster and political breakdown
9 September 2017
The catastrophic
impact of Hurricane Harvey in southeast Texas and the unfolding disaster of
Hurricane Irma in south Florida are ruthlessly objective tests of the ability
of America’s ruling elite to manage the affairs of society. By any reasonable
standard, the capitalist class has failed, and failed miserably.
Two weeks after the
Texas Gulf Coast was devastated by Harvey, millions of people are seeking to
rebuild their lives with minimal social assistance. Hundreds of thousands of
homes were damaged or destroyed, one million cars rendered inoperable,
countless schools and other public facilities flooded and likely ruined beyond
repair. At least twenty-two people are missing, most now presumed dead, on top
of the more than 70 deaths officially acknowledged.
To address the
costliest natural disaster in American history—at least until the toll of
Hurricane Irma is tallied—with damage estimates approaching $200 billion, the
Trump administration and Congress have approved a derisory $15 billion in
federal assistance, ratified by the House of Representatives Friday.
The bulk of this
money goes to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which doles out funds
limited to $30,000 per family, through a nearly impenetrable bureaucratic
process in which the victims of the storm will be treated like criminals or
con-men. Other funding is routed through the Small Business Administration, in
the form of loans that those driven from their homes by the hurricane will be
hard-pressed to repay.
Hurricane Irma is
even more powerful than Harvey. The storm has already laid waste to several of
the Lesser Antilles and to the Turks and Caicos Islands, as well as battering
Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Cuba. Irma began passing the
Bahamas on Friday and is scheduled to make landfall somewhere in south Florida
on Sunday afternoon.
Hurricane Irma is the
most powerful storm ever recorded on this planet, with the most “accumulated
cyclone energy,” one measure of overall intensity. It has sustained maximum
wind speeds of at least 180 miles per hour for 37 hours, longer than any
previous storm. Its size is vast: twice the extent of Hurricane Andrew, which
devastated south Florida in 1992. The storm is so large that it is wider than
the Florida peninsula itself, raising the possibility of simultaneous storm
surges on both the Gulf Coast and the Atlantic Coast, an unheard-of phenomenon.
A lethal threat faces
one of the most densely populated areas in the United States. But the response
of local, state and federal officials has been to tell the potential victims of
Irma: “You’re on your own.” This was the theme of several press conferences and
briefings on Friday, as government officials told some six million people in
south Florida to leave the region if possible, or else go to hurricane
shelters.
These shelters are
entirely inadequate—some sizeable cities, like Ft. Myers on the Gulf coast,
have none. They are unavailable to many poor and working-class residents. The
Coalition for Racial Justice complained that Miami-Dade’s shelters are open
only in wealthy areas, a more than 30-minute drive from the city’s poorer
neighborhoods.
Mandatory evacuations
have been ordered for the Florida Keys, for Miami Beach and much of Miami-Dade,
the state’s largest metropolitan area, as well as portions of Broward and Palm
Beach counties and much of the southwestern corner of the state as well.
Combined, they are the largest mandatory evacuation in US history, leaving all
highways north completely jammed with traffic. Most gas stations have run out of
supplies, leaving many residents stranded in their cars as the hurricane
approaches.
The most basic
measures to ensure that people can leave have not been taken, such as a mass
coordination of free rail, bus and airplane transportation. Many of those leaving
have no idea where they will stay, as hundreds of thousands attempt to find
accommodations on the route north. Many are stuck at the airport, with no open
flights and all shelters filled.
The Trump
administration “prepared” for the one-two punch of Harvey and Irma by proposing
to slash spending on FEMA and other relief and disaster management agencies, to
say nothing of its war against climate science, waged on behalf of the oil, gas
and coal producers and other big industrial polluters.
Even the succession
of hurricanes—with Jose and Katia lined up to follow Harvey and Irma, four
giant storms in only three weeks, fueled by ocean waters now at an
unprecedented temperature of 90 degrees Fahrenheit—has not produced any
rethinking by the know-nothings of the Trump administration. The unending
stream of disasters proves the reality of climate change—to which one must add
the fires raging on the US West Coast and the floods that have devastated South
Asia—demonstrating the inability of the ruling classes of all countries to take
any serious measures to address the growing threat.
EPA administrator
Scott Pruitt, a notorious global warming denier, denounced any discussion of
climate change as “very, very insensitive” to the people of Florida. “To have
any kind of focus on the cause and effect of the storm, versus helping people,
or actually facing the effect of the storm, is misplaced,” he argued.
By the same logic,
any discussion of plate tectonics or seismic faults should be banned during an
earthquake, nor should there be any analysis of El Nino wind effects during
wildfire season. Nuclear physics would be off-limits during a reactor meltdown.
And, we might add, there could be no discussion of the economic laws of
capitalism during a meltdown of the financial markets.
There is a distinct
class content to this rejection of science, or, indeed, any serious thought.
The US ruling elite, at every level, refused to plan seriously for natural
disasters which were both predictable and inevitable. Once the disasters unfolded,
the representatives of big business could barely conceal their indifference and
annoyance at the plight of what one of Trump’s real estate colleagues, Leona
Helmsley, sneered at as “the little people.”
Natural disasters have a way of exposing social and political
reality. The Great Lisbon Earthquake of 1755, which destroyed much of the
Portuguese city, was a significant event in the development of Enlightenment
thought in Europe, in the decades that preceded the French Revolution. It was
proof, Voltaire noted in his Candide, of the absurdity of the claim
of the philosopher Leibniz that “all is for the best in the best of all
possible worlds.”
Who could follow
Leibniz in making such an argument today? American and world capitalism is
rotten to the core. The ruling class presides over unprecedented social
inequality and unending war, in which resources are dedicated to greed and
plunder, but the most basic requirements of modern society go unmet and
ignored.
Such a society is
ripe, indeed overripe, for revolution. The task is to fight unceasingly to
develop the political consciousness of the working class, so that it can
fulfill its historical mission to become the ruling and directing force.

HARVEY:
COSTLIEST IN HISTORY
Should
we stop rebuilding Muslim dictatorships and fix our own???
WHY NOT FORCE THE LA RAZA MEX DRUG CARTELS TO PAY FOR THE
REBUILDING OF HOUSTON OUT OF THEIR HEROIN SALES IN OUR OPEN AND UNDEFENDED
BORDERS?
Will these
filthy pols ever talk about doing something for LEGALS before they go off hispandering for the invading, looting
Mexicans???
The Shocking Staggering Cost of Mexico’s
Invasion, Occupation, Looting and Crime Tidal Wave…. Then they go out and vote
Democrat for more!
THE WATERS ROSE AND CIVIL WAR II COMMENCED.
HOUSTON: ONLY THE POOR DROWN IN THIS COUNTRY!
THE HOUSTON FLOOD -
CRONY CAPITALIST LICK THEIR LIPS OVER REBUILDING.... FIRST, LIKE
KATRINA, CUT WAGES AND INVITE HORDES MORE ILLEGALS IN TO WORK CHEAP!
"Like
Katrina, Hurricane Harvey has lifted the lid on the ugly reality of
American society, exposing colossal levels of social
inequality, pervasive poverty and ruling class criminality."
"The reason why these warnings have been
ignored is not hard to fathom. They have been resolutely opposed by
corporate interests, including the real estate industry, Wall Street and
Big Oil. Their ability, operating through bribed politicians of both
parties, to veto and block elementary measures to protect the American
people, exemplifies the complete subordination of all social needs
under capitalism to the selfish drive of a corporate-financial oligarchy
to accumulate ever greater levels of personal wealth and profit."
THEY INVADE OVER AND UNDER OUR BORDERS… and do so by invitation of
the Democrat Party.
Lawmen are worried that
the cartel tunnel builders on the Mexican border are now using their engineered
concoctions to smuggle illegals, not merely drugs.
That's what the Daily
Caller has found, describing the new anxiety as
one was discovered over the weekend, catching about 30 illegals coming in from
Mexico and China. MONICA SHOWALTER – AMERICAN THINKER.com
AMERICA: NO LEGAL NEED APPLY!
“The percentage of
foreign-born workers in the U.S. labor force has more than tripled over the
last four decades and while the U.S. represents just 5 percent of the world’s population
it attracts 20 percent of the world’s immigrants, according to a new report.”
Open the floodgates of our welfare
state to the uneducated, impoverished, and unskilled masses of the world and in
a generation or three America, as we know it, will be gone.
Those most impacted are middle class
and lower middle class. It is they whose jobs are taken, whose raises are
postponed, whose schools are filled with non-English speaking children that
absorb precious resources for remedial English, whose public parks are trashed
and whose emergency rooms serve as the local clinic for the illegal
underground.

In Mex-occupied CA, Mexican gangs now commit nearly half of all murders.
In Los Angeles, Mexicans commit 93% of the murders. Really want open borders?
