    Another few thousand bit the dust.
    Chalk another one up for the Bush administration. That’ll be President Bush’s long lasting legacy when we look back on the first few years of the 21st Century. Thousands of people killed on U.S. soil because the president failed to protect them.
    There won’t be any admission of guilt, no one to take responsibility, no one fired for screwing up, just lies and spin, and mudslinging.
    You may be familiar with some of that already.

  • Kevin Benderman : "Moral Courage"
    7 September 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    From Sgt. Kevin Benderman "I will not compromise my integrity, nor my moral courage."
    by Monica Benderman
    These words come directly from the NCO creed, which I swore to uphold as a member of the US Army. When I filed for Conscientious Objector status, it was after careful consideration of my duty to my wife, my step-children, my country and the soldiers I served with. But before I could consider all of this, I had to consider myself. I had to ensure that my actions did not compromise (…)

    "You know the year of 1900-that was 60 years ago/when death come howling on the ocean/death calls, you gotta go"—Tom Rush, Wasn’t it a Mighty Storm
    by Daniel Patrick Welch
    "Galveston had a seawall, just to keep the waters down. But the high tide from the ocean spread the water over the town." The worst hurricane in US history saw almost 6000 people drowned in Galveston, Texas a little over a century ago, in a human tragedy immortalized by Tom Rush’s mournful 1960 ballad. But it was an (…)

    The Frankenstein Chronicles are a series of letters written by me on March 03, 2003, as letters to the editor and submitted to the Conway Daily Sun. The War started shortly after I sbmmitted them and they were not published. I am now posting them as Web Research Documents (WRD) and hope that they elicit a response, from web users, as a topic of interest deserving of further research and action.

    The Simplest Evil...
    All it takes is a glance,
    Just look the other way in the heat of the moment,
    Pretend you don’t see the very stones you are standing upon.
    Perhaps they won’t even exist.
    You can spend days creating a new reality,
    No need for that hammer and nails son,
    The house is standing just fine.
    In twenty feet of water.
    The eyes that see the murky depths are countless,
    Not even the computers are sure,
    How many ghosts are in the rotting rafters.
    Just turn away and (…)

    HURRICANE KATRINA---WHO BENEFITS? OVERTHROW OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC, Part 80
    by Sherman H. Skolnick
    Some meteorologists contend there has been weather-warfare. That is, they say, that there have been two man-made hurricanes, Ivan [The Terrible], 2004, and Katrina, 2005. And, that these storms were created by technology long-known and directed to specific areas.
    One weatherman asserted that Russia has long claimed they can send extreme weather and turbulence from Siberia targeting the (…)

  • WHAT A SICK JOKE: BUSH TO LEAD ’INQUIRY’ INTO KATRINA FIASCO SO HE DOESN’T GET THE BLAME

    US President George W Bush says he will lead an investigation into how the Hurricane Katrina disaster was handled.
    "I’m going to find out over time what went right and what went wrong," he said in reply to criticism that the authorities were too slow to respond.
    The US Senate is to hold two inquiries of its own into the disaster which hit the Gulf Coast and New Orleans.
    New Orleans’ last residents are being urged to leave the swamped city as fires add to the hazards there.

  • Hurricane Katrina-Our Experiences

    Two days after Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, the Walgreen’s store at the corner of Royal and Iberville streets remained locked. The dairy display case was clearly visible through the widows. It was now 48 hours without electricity, running water, plumbing. The milk, yogurt, and cheeses were beginning to spoil in the 90-degree heat. The owners and managers had locked up the food, water, pampers, and prescriptions and fled the City. Outside Walgreen’s windows, residents and tourists (…)

    Out of Chaos, an Awakening
    The images coming out of the Gulf Coast and New Orleans in particular have been nothing short of unfathomable, nightmarish visions of anarchy and misery, a ghoulish reality haunting our minds and lives. For what we see on our television sets is a devastation of humanity never before seen or experienced or felt within American shores. It is a surreal and up close glimpse of natural and human made destruction reserved almost exclusively for (…)

  • New Orleans is dead; time to bury it!!

    I dont much care for the actions of our President; but tell me where the federal government has a responsibility to do ANYTHING. Its sure not in the Constitution. Read it; its the States duty to prepare and clean up this mess. Blame the States for being ill prepared and overwhelmed, not the federal govenment. That being said Im sure I think that maybe its time to carefully draft an amendment to our Constitution that allows for federal relief.
    As far as rebuilding it; why bother??? (…)
