from the Miami riots, to the Love
Canal emergency evacuation, to the
natural disaster at Mount St. Helens,
FEMA has taken command of civilian
government functions. Here two
scenes from the mid-May
Miami riots.
Editor's Note: Zero-growth societies
require both an ideology and the institutions
to enforce that ideology.
Last month, the Books section reviewed
The Aquarian Conspiracy and
its plot to remove reason from the
minds of American citizens and industry
from the economy, substituting
"feeling," "consciousness," and more
"natural" forms of social organization.
This issue's Special Report reviews
the operational arm of the zero
growthers—the Federal Emergency
Management Agency. Next month.
Fusion will feature the highest-level
Aquarian Conspirators—the role
NATO has played in engineering the
austerity and antiscience ideology
that is destroying the economy and
the education system.
A
single civilian agency is preparing
to administer a military government
in the United States in the
event of a Mideast war or comparable
domestic or international crisis. The
body in question is FEMA, the Federal
Emergency Management Agency. It
has the standby authority to:
• relocate millions of workers, reorganize
national industry and banking,
and distribute all economic resources
and transportation access;
• operate every level of government,
through personnel currently in
place throughout Washington and the
rest of the country;
• institute total energy rationing;
• order mass evacuations of residents
in the perimeter of nuclear
power plants.
