A Blogger Visits FEMA’s Oklahoma Version of Camp Krakow

The blogger and her family drove to Falls Creek, a youth camp for Southern Baptist churches in Oklahoma that agreed to have its facilities used to house Louisiana Katrina victims.

She states that Jesse Jackson was right when he said “refugees” was not the appropriate word for the poor souls dislocated due to Katrina. But he was wrong about why it is not appropriate. It’s not appropriate because they are detainees, not refugees.

FEMA will not allow any of the kitchen facilities in any of the cabins to be used by the occupants due to fire hazards. FEMA will deliver meals to the cabins. The refugees will be given two meals per day by FEMA. They will not be able to cook, and they will not be allowed to have milk. Some churches had already enquired about whether they could come in on weekends and fix meals for the people staying in their cabin. FEMA won’t allow it because there could be a situation where one cabin gets steaks and another gets hot dogs – and… it could cause a riot. It gets worse.

Some churches had already enquired into whether they could send a van or bus on Sundays to pick up any occupants of their cabins who might be interested in attending church. FEMA will not allow this. The occupants of the camp cannot leave the camp for any reason. If they leave the camp they may never return. They will be issued FEMA identification cards and “a sum of money” and they will remain within the camp for the next 5 months.

There was also a large police, military, and FEMA employee presence, and an example of FEMA wasting money on cell phones when walkie-talkies would have done the job.

The blogger’s son remarked, “Welcome to Krakow.”

What is the deal? The people that are coming to the camp lost their homes and their possessions. They weren’t locked up in a Louisiana prison. Why are they going to be treated like prisoners after they get to the camp?
