Not my article, but one I found on the net.. go ahead, have a read, stroke, or whatever rocks your boat. Not my article, but one really to good to read and wake up to reality.. a sad reality.


So, what's wrong with FEMA? Answer: Lawyers and Politicians.

Lawyers and Politicians cannot make prudent medical and public safety decisions. They really have no idea what the average person needs. They are more concerned with the future of developers snapping up low and middle income property in New Orleans and seeing it run into the hands of zionist carpetbagger developers who have envisioned a 'Las Vegas' style industry in the city.

Millions who lived through the initial floods will continue to suffer and some will die in the aftermath.

The powers that be have wanted New Orleans to be a new International Gambling hotspot. The old world charm of New Orleans will attract Europe's 'new rich' as well as Latin American druglords with US dollars to spend. Poor white and black folks living in modest and some low income dwellings hindered this image/'dream' of New Orleans as a new mecca for gambling and tourism.

Practically any place could have been set up within hours as command and control center which would have directed aftermath rescue operations and medical intervention...if the Feds had WANTED such a command center. Guiliani did it in NY. His original command center was taken out when the WTC 7 'collapsed'...was imploded...on 911. Guiliani set up a new command center within HOURS.

If worse came to worse, a command center could have run with simple ham radio equipment which could have been commandeered from areas not underwater. As we now know, 'someone' reportedly blocked many ham radio transmissions in the aftermath of the breaks in the levees and the mass flooding which followed

The people who run FEMA, Homeland Security and Bush's new disaster organizations are jokes... political hacks, losers and lawyers who are more interested in developers than in the people. We may just see other parts of the country starting up their own disaster preparedness programs within civilian militias. People now see that the governmnent can't and WON'T protect lives and property of the common man. It is a country by and for the elite rich.

The corporate hack and real estate developers running the show in New Orleans may find that they will have to face off with Joe Sixpack after the next disaster on home soil...who with the help of John Q and Joan Q citizen may become a force to be reckoned with. Watch out, the sleeping silent - the good natured American - may have gotten kicked in the butt for the last time. Americans are not going to take it anymore. New Orleans, FEMA, may have been the final straw.

My personal hopw is that every poor white and black person in the affected areas of New Orleans band together and fight the real estate developers. I hope these folks will not become refugees selling off their property dirt cheap. Don't let the developers win.

Hasn't seemed to hurt Vegas any.

My personal hope is that they DO sell their property to developers that are stupid enough to build in this part of the world, and relocate somewhere more stable and less prone to disaster.

Developers who are going to build there are not stupid.. They are brilliant and taking advantage of an unfortunate situation. The fact is a lot of people are going to be forced to dump their land quick and this makes for a great investment opportunity.

Developers will buy the land, build homes and sell it to people who want to live there. They will laugh all the way to the bank. What's so stupid about that? Think no one will buy the houses? Think again. In fact, after the caos ends I'm going to buy a lot or two in the prime area of New Orleans. I put my money where my mouth is. In a few years from now it'll be a great place to live and real estate prices will be through the roof. Building, parks, roads, bridges etc will all the brand new and people will want to live there.

your mom says hi.
i think people will still want to live in new orleans. i mean people still want to live in LA even with the constant threat of earth quakes. new orleans is one of the few yankee cities that i want to visit one day, its just so different then most other yank cities. a friend of mine was down there a couple of years ago and said that it was amazing.

the city has been there for a long time and will continue to be there. its gonna take a while to build back up but once thats done think about all the money that is gonna be pouring in there to bring dikes and leeve's up to code. most of that damage was done cause of the flooding. had the storm just hit with the winds and the rain things would still be bad but not like they were with the failed dikes.

i for one look forward on the chance to go visit new orleans sometime in the future to see one of the greatest, most unique cities in the u.s.

They should just leave it flooded and build on piers and pilons and have canals as streets. No more cars, just boats, and vaporetto bus service, gondola's. It would probably be cheaper than to upgrade all the levys only to have them damaged again and deal with another flood! The place is at least 10' below sea level, they would be better off to work with that!
Hatrick...it is likely you said this as a joke......but this is a great idea....

Who knows if this would fly or not....but just imagine a Venice in North America.

How about we lower the global sea level by 20'?
This wiould also produce millions of sq. km. of new coastal land just waiting for development.
(Sorry for mixing the British and metric systems here.)
We could get Halliburton to do it at a good price.
