Broken civilizations get rebuilt at the local community level as families, businesses, churches and small civil governments begin to learn what those local institutions can be. That is happening right now in the US, primarily in rural counties.

We explore real-life reformation here in this informed, online community.

IT IS ILLEGAL FOR FEMA TO INTERFERE IN ANY PRIVATE CIVILIAN RELIEF EFFORTS IN A DISASTER OR ANY OTHER TIME.

IT IS MANDATED TO ASSIST CIVILIANS.
FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) does not have a legal mandate to interfere in private civilian relief efforts. Instead, FEMA’s role is to coordinate and support federal disaster response and recovery efforts, working alongside state and local governments, as well as non-profit and private organizations.

FEMA can provide guidance and resources, but it typically encourages collaboration with civilian efforts rather than interference. If private organizations are operating within the law and are effective in their relief efforts, FEMA generally supports their work rather than intervening. However, there might be situations where coordination is necessary to ensure the safety and effectiveness of relief operations.

FEMA's legal role is defined by several statutes, primarily found in the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Public Law 93-288). This act outlines FEMA's responsibilities during disasters and emergencies, including how it can assist state and local governments.

Other relevant statutes include:
Homeland Security Act of 2002 - This act established the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), under which FEMA operates, and outlines the agency's broader responsibilities related to disaster management and national security.
National Response Framework (NRF) and National Incident Management System (NIMS) - While not statutes, these frameworks provide guidance on how federal, state, and local agencies, including FEMA, should coordinate disaster response efforts.

Various federal regulations and policies that further delineate FEMA’s role, including the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), particularly Title 44, which covers emergency management and assistance

Picture a Tank Rolling Over a Chess Board

Many Republicans pride themselves on their chess-playing acumen. Dems write a tax increase bill, GOP players write one that doesn't increase taxes, and say, "We'll just checkmate these revolutionaries and WIN this one." Sometimes they do. But Since the Goldwater days, they've been whipped 90 percent of the time. So they study chess tactics harder.

In next three years, the Dems are rolling out an army of tanks. First mission: roll over every chess board and destroy them, leaving the elephants to wander around aimlessly, not knowing how to do politics.

How do we know this? Zoom calls over the last year. The Dems are done with chess.

Kunstler: "Democratic Party election ninja Marc Elias knocked himself out for two years registering new voters by the bale, as in manufacturing them. . . illegal aliens. . . homeless junkies. . . straight-up fictitious persons. . . in order to flood the zone with fake mail-in ballots, that is, in-your-face fraud. And the reason they did it was so ...

What Political Parties Used to Be

"No man is big enough to run this great Republic. There never has been one. Such domination was never intended. Tranquillity, stability, dependability—all are assured in party sponsorship. and we mean to renew the assurances which were rended in the cataclysmal war.”

Warren Harding, July 1920.

Angry Blue Voters or Something Else?

Could it be the architecture of a color revolution being erected? Who are the more serious political activists in the US? Do they just want votes, or something more?
