    Could the levees in New Orleans have been INTENTIONALLY blown out in order to provide the justification for total FEMA federal takeover?
    The locals certainly seem to think so, yet, as usual, the mainstream media is barely picking up on this wave of opinion, so it is left to us once again to bring the issue into the open.
    This website distances itself from claims that the levees were blown to target the lower class areas and save the richer areas. The (…)

    "To me, it was like being in hell," said Carl Warner, the chief engineer for Methodist Hospital in the hard-hit eastern part of New Orleans. "There were bodies floating in the water outside the building, and our staffers had to swim through that water to get fuel for the generator."
    The patients and staff at Methodist could have been evacuated before Hurricane Katrina hit. But instead they were condemned to several days of fear and agony by bad decision-making in Louisiana and the chaotic (…)

    UNDER WHICH GOD?
    By Peter Fredson
    September 15, 2005
    Today a federal judge declared that reciting the Pledge of Allegiance with the inclusion of the words “Under God” in public schools is unconstitutional, a decision that could lead to a heated round of Supreme Court arguments and endless acrimonious debate among True Believers and non-Christian believers or “others.”
    U.S. District Judge Lawrence Karlton stated that the reference in the pledge to “One Nation Under God” violates the (…)

    New Orleans: "Eyes Wide Shut" Something is burning, baby, are you aware? - Bob Dylan By Charlene Fassa 9-14-5
    Some suggest the global elite are intent on "weaponizing" virtually every ’control potential’ technology on the planet. Weather manipulation is a given goal of the US Air Force...and there is speculation that Tesla type technology has been perfected via HAARP and other clandestine projects to the point of being able to influence large weather systems. But no one knows for certain. (…)

    NEW ORLEANS, LA — (OfficialWire) — 09/15/05 — On September 2-five days after Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast - Congressman William Jefferson (shown here), who represents New Orleans and is a senior member of the powerful Ways and Means Committee, asked the National Guard that night to take him on a tour of the flooded portions of his congressional district. A five-ton military truck and a half dozen military police were dispatched.

    Chertoff delayed federal response, memo shows
    By Jonathan S. Landay, Alison Young and Shannon McCaffrey
    Knight Ridder Newspapers
    WASHINGTON - The federal official with the power to mobilize a massive federal response to Hurricane Katrina was Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, not the former FEMA chief who was relieved of his duties and resigned earlier this week, federal documents reviewed by Knight Ridder show.
    Even before the storm struck the Gulf Coast, Chertoff could (…)

  • Is St. Rita’s Subject to the Rules of the Free Market?

    In the midst of the rising numbers of tragedies in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, there is likely to be none more gruesome than the drowning of 34 patients at St. Rita’s Nursing Home.
    St. Rita’s was run by Salvador and Mable Mangano. A quick check of the Medicare “Nursing Home Compare” web site indicates that the Mangano’s ran a home with mixed reviews, a higher than average rate of restraining patients, for example, but a lower than average rate of depressed patients. The 2004 (…)

    The cost (or here) of cleaning up the results of Bush’s negligence in failing to deal with global warming and spending money needed for New Orleans levees on his war in Iraq may be as much as the $300 billion spent in four years to fight the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Of course, what most people would regard as a cost, the entrepreneurial politicians in the Bush White House see as yet another opportunity to transfer money from taxpayers to their personal friends. The scheme is blatantly (…)

    Los Angeles, Alta California - September 7, 2005 - (ACN) There were numerous incidents that occurred during and immediately after Katrina struck that point to the "unthinkable". It now appears that a sophisticated plan was implemented that utilized the "cover of a hurricane" to first destroy and than take over the City of New Orleans?
    As the world watched the events unfolding, one could not help think that something was terribly afoot concerning the rescue by FEMA of the city’s poor and (…)

    WHO BLEW IT?

    September 14, 2005
    Today I watched a bog entitled: “Who Blew It?” It was in reference to the Katrina hurricane, trying to impartially assess blame for incompetence and inattention to various persons and governmental organizations. It jogged a memory of about 10 years ago to the “big blow” of the time.
    There was a dalliance between Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinski which caused arteries to pop in Republican (…)
