> The Great New Orleans Land Grab-The 17th Street Canal levee was breached on purpose

7 October 2005, 21:57

"Among the most telling anomalies pointing to something terribly afoot is the gun battle, killing 5, that occurred....."
I love how CT’s ignore the fact that confusion reigns supreme during a crisis, and People Sometimes Get The Story Wrong! Many of the initial reports were error filled. But then, why let common sense get in the way of a good myth huh?

"Blackhawk helicopters were being stopped from dropping sandbags to plug the levee soon after it breached."
They were stopped because they were wasting their time. The water was rushing in with more than enough power to wash the sand bags away as soon as they were dropped. They had to wait till both side equalized.

"Mr. Johnson lives in a neighborhood where the flood has subsided and his home is not heavily damaged yet FEMA wants him out!"
There is no DRINKING WATER. There is no FOOD. There is no ELECTRICITY. The HOSPITALS are closed.

Your politics are yours. I just don’t understand why you are so willing to look as foolish as you do by presenting these allegations/myths/annecdotes/ as FACTS. I would submit that you would be better off talking about how you would like to see the world work, rather than publish crap about people you oppose. This "conspiracy" you (and others) are trying to lay out here just doesn’t make sense. IF they had some sinister agenda, there are much cheaper ways to do it. Why give themselves such an international "Black Eye" with the bungled response?

You do yourself and your readers a dis-service by puting this junk online. Remember that having an agenda means that you should also keep "Okhams Razor" in mind at all times. It can be a real credibility savior.
