State of emergency

Since Thailand had failed to declare a state of emergency on December 26, 2004 and highly equipped First World had NOTHING contributed to this happening, as a consequence of which several thousand innocent and unsuspecting tourists had to die a cruel and violent death, we are also very interested in the topic.


The tsunami catastrophe in Thailand were a humanitarian one and begun shortly before 10 o'clock local time after a mega quake in the Indian Ocean at 8 o'clock local time triggered a gigantic tsunami.

Neither a national nor an international emergency was declared, although seismometers worldwide had registered the earthquake of a gigantic magnitude, and although a tsunami disaster had already occurred in Sumatra with probably more than 200,000 dead.

So the man-made tsunami disaster in Thailand was created by the incompetent authorities in Thailand and abroad. The omission of the declaration of a state of emergency was nothing more than a moral and organizational bankruptcy of all civilized states of the world. Thousands were dead or missing because of collapse the timely humanitarian response to protect people.

December 26, 2004 - a day of shame and infamy on the civilized world.


The consequences of this deadly criminal omission continue to this day. Since then many other citizens of the Free World have had to die unnecessarily because the criminally negligent state authorities were once again unable to act properly.

After Hurricane KATRINA disaster, the US government submitted a report on this man-made disaster: "The Federal Response to Hurricane KATRINA." This investigation report states: The federal authorities had failed because the US government was not adequately prepared for natural disasters due to structural deficiencies in federal agencies. As the US authorities were incapacitated and unwilling to act in the face of the disaster, the report contains 125 recommendations to improve alert readiness. 

One of these recommendations is to shift the coordination of the response to a disaster from the bureaucratic monster called Homeland Security to the White House. Further recommendations state that tasks should not be centralized but, on the contrary, decentralized. So the Ministry of Construction and not the FEMA should be responsible for the provision of shelters. And the sending of medical teams should not be the responsibility of the FEMA but should be left to the Ministry of Health.

As we know, two U.S. bureaucratic monsters named FEMA and Homeland Security are responsible for adequate disaster prevention and disaster response. Neither of them work properly. The bureaucratic sloppiness and turf wars are omnipresent there. It is therefore doubtful that the recommended improvements will even have the desired and desirable effect. The FEMA civil defense agency protects itself and the superministeral Homeland Security does everything to ensure its own safety, not those of the country and its citizens, wherever they are in the world, regularly and in mass. 9/11 and KATRINA proved that US Civil Protection is not worth anything for the homeland and the tsunami disaster of Christmas 2004 in Thailand showed us an absolute failure of US government agencies in the event of a cross-border disaster abroad. The communication system failed already in New York on 9/11 and then failed again completely in December 2004, when the U.S. authorities failed to communicate the state of emergency to Thailand and to the other Indian Ocean Rim Countries in the form of urgent, effective and timely warnings before the coming tsunami disaster.

The report hides the names of people in office who totally failed: Michael Brown (FEMA) and Michael Chertoff (Homeland Security). American government reports appear to be programmatically inadequate and obscure the responsibility for failure notoriously. Therefore, care must be taken to ensure that independent investigation commissions from the Senate and the House of Representatives act in parallel after each disaster in order to  identified the unvarnished truth. It is a criminal scandal that after the devastating tsunami disaster 2004 such commissions did not immediately came into action. Again, the truth about total inability of American authorities in the case of an emergency and the following crime against humanity was officially covered up.

The legitimate and well-founded question that all Americans and the Allies of America have to face is, how can America provide for the security of the Free World if it can not even provide for its own security. The US government owes us an answer to this question.
