[Guest guest]

I can't verify the accuracy of any of these articles, but I have included

excerpts and the links to some of the articles I found to be the most

interesting. Please share with others but copy and past so my email is

removed.

 

 

The Warning document, (on the two websites below), fully spells out the

impending dangers and was eerily right on the ball: " Urgent Weather Message.

Devastating Damage Expected. " Timed and dated: " 1011 am CDT. Sun Aug 28

2005-09-07. " Those heads should roll!

Warnings were loud and clear - but still city drowned

This is a must read report

By Giles Whittell

 

IF THERE is a smoking gun in the Gulf Coast wreckage, it is the hurricane

warning issued by the New Orleans office of the US National Weather Service

soon after 10am on August 28, the eve of Katrina’s arrival.

The _Federal Emergency Management Agency_ (http://www.fema.gov/) official

in charge of the New Orleans rescue was fired from his last private-sector job

overseeing horse shows. And before joining FEMA as a deputy director in

2001, _Mike Brown_ (http://www.fema.gov/about/bios/brown.shtm) , the Republican

Party activist, had no significant experience that would have qualified him

for the position. But the Oklahoman got the job through an old college friend

who at the time was heading up FEMA.

In short order, the police commander came across the street to address our

group. He told us he had a solution: we should walk to the Pontchartrain

Expressway and cross the greater New Orleans Bridge to the south side of the

Mississippi, where the police had buses lined up to take us out of the city.

We marched the two to three miles to the freeway and up the steep incline to

the bridge. It now began to pour down rain, but it didn't dampen our

enthusiasm.

As we approached the bridge, armed sheriffs formed a line across the foot of

the bridge. Before we were close enough to speak, they began firing their

weapons over our heads. This sent the crowd fleeing in various directions.

As the crowd scattered and dissipated, a few of us inched forward and

managed to engage some of the sheriffs in conversation. We told them of our

conversation with the police commander and the commander's assurances. The

sheriffs

informed us that there were no buses waiting. The commander had lied to us to

get us to move.

BERLIN — A German military plane carrying 15 tons of military rations for

survivors of Hurricane Katrina was sent back by U.S. authorities, officials said

Saturday.

 

The plane was turned away Thursday because it did not have the required

authorization, a German government spokesman said.

Note - This story below is racing around the net and we present it *only* as

something to be so noted. 'Well placed sources' and unnamed sources

'speaking on conditions of anonymity' have essentially no credibility from a

journalistic standpoint. Unless one of the principals steps out of the shadows

and

comes forward with proof of the allegations below, this story must be

considered as just another internet rumor.

IF, in fact, the levee was initially breached with an explosive device, it

would have been a very easy task to accomplish. One underwater demolition

expert (a former Navy SEAL, for example) working undercover of night, or of the

passing hurricane, could have slipped in and out of the area, unseen, in a

matter of minutes. Interesting to contemplate how just one person could have

triggered a $100 billion dollar disaster and mass murder. But such are the

times

in which we live.

10:57 Raw transcript of comments by NOLA evacuee : " The 17th street levee

was bombed by the Army Corps of Engineers to save the more valuable real estate

in the city... to keep the French Quarter protected, the ninth ward was

sacrificed... people are afraid to speak out... everyone who was near there

heard

the bombings... they bombed seven times. That’s why they didn’t fix the

levees... 20 feet of water. Gators. People dying in water. They let the parishes

go, not the city center. Tourist trap was saved over human life.
