    A Poor Day To Die...
    In the terrible currents of fear and wind and rain, Left with nothing but their feet and maybe not even that, No dime no nickel no car no gas, Maybe no job if they left - I guess now it’s too hard to laugh, The stench and the heat and the waters full of death and disgust, Six days with nothing but bullets and broken promises, Thirst and pain and confusion comprise everything, Bodies plugging the bathtub drains, Call it looting or scavenging to survive, When the world (…)

  • At Least One Bush Helped Hurricane Surviviors
    3 September 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    The Chicago Tribune reported in section 1 on page 5 Friday that 14 members of the Waveland, Miss. Police Department survived the hurricane surge waters by clinging to an eight foot tall bush in the yard for dear life. They plan to transplant it to a memorial site when the new police station is built. Somehow, I doubt they will be singing "Hail To The Chief" in remembrance.

    The world has seen the cataclysmic aftermath of Katrina. There has been an outpouring of support throughout the world. Many countries have offered immediate, life-saving resources. But the jackals and hyenas in the current hub of power in d.c. (comics) refuse all offers to help, saying that this is an "internal affair".
    The "white" house is glad to see the devastation. More reconstruction $$$ into Halliburton’s (etc.) pockets. There’s only one thing money can’t buy, and that’s poverty. (…)

    Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones | September 1 2005

    Nov. 19, 1863 Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
    Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it as a final resting place for those who died here that the nation might live. This we (…)

    9/11/2001 - planes crash into World Trade Center twin towers. Later, the Towers collapse in the only known collapse of steel framed buildings EVER. Some skeptics claim they were purposely imploded.

"biggies" are only going to charge "Uncle Sam" $3,750,000.00" ($150.00 per person per day) WOW !!!
    This is the Greatest country on Earth (if you’re rich,well connected and Very Greedy) Those people who are desprately "down and out" get a cot,MRE’s,water,communal bath facilities and (…)

    New Orleans descended into anarchy Thursday, as corpses lay abandoned in street medians, fights and fires broke out and storm survivors battled for seats on the buses that would carry them away from the chaos. The tired and hungry seethed, saying they had been forsaken.
    "I’m not sure I’m going to get out of here alive," said Canadian tourist Larry Mitzel, who handed a reporter his business card in case he goes missing. "I’m scared of riots. I’m scared of the locals. We (…)
