August 29, 2010 journal, the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina over New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. It seemed strange to me that the levee broke after the storm had passed but then I heard a report that a Navy diver discovered residue of explosives at the levee. Commentary on television today spoke of man-made disasters and they seemed to be pointing a finger at the Army Corps of Engineers for knowing the levy would not stand. They replayed the pimp George W. Bush from the Bush crime family promising that the government would rebuild New Orleans but 5 years later it has not been rebuilt partly because it is underwater. Someone replied that George W. was making empty promises. He had already taken money earmarked for levy reinforcement and sent it to Iraqi war. Is he not then responsible for the 2000 people that died from the flood in New Orleans? Gulfport Mississippi was hit with a wall of water 20 ft. high sweeping people away and all houses even a casino. All along the Gulf there was death and destruction. Now they have a new problem may be worse than Katrina dealing with the oil spill and the dead sea life. Bottom line is I believe that Halliburton wanted some work closer home and they got it. Halliburton got the easy contracts without getting their hands into the dirty poison water. New Orleans being below sea level makes it difficult to rebuild and to insure now that it has been flooded. It was flooded deliberately in 1927 to get rid of undesirable residents. The entire basin seems to me to be one big mass graveyard, don't understand living there. I happen to know are met several people that live there and applied for government loans which seem to be routine but I never no one to actually get the loan to rebuild their house. Habitat for Humanity and others have done a wonderful job but the government dropped the ball. Today Brian Williams ask the president in New Orleans if he was a Moslem but he did not get a firm answer yes or no. Polls show 1/5 of the American people believe it. New Orleans may not be the noose around the neck of America as much as we think as the money went to Iraq & that is the main reason so many now predict U.S. bankruptcy. From what I see it is the gold derivatives and other fictitious stocks that will bankrupt us. Major news commentators are saying that the faith organizations has supplied 90% of the help to New Orleans. Pat Roberson 700 Club said FEMA stood in the way of trucks bound for the hurting people in New Orleans and if they had only stayed away supplies would have reached the needy much faster. The NBC commentators interviewing those involved established the fact that the government was just too large and cumbersome to respond to the life-saving needs of the people. They did send in Blackwater to shoot & kill people. They sent in Halliburton in a hurry but they never have helped or saved anyone. The American government and most all the states are bankrupt already, it is just a matter of time until someone pulls the plug. 60 Minutes replayed their China's spy report of how China now has all our military secrets and even those of U.S. high-tech nuxlear weapons. It don't really matter if the stock market is high or low when the end comes it is all over. George Bush stood on New Orleans ground and promised $16 billion to restore the city but the lower 9th ward never got a dime. The oil drilling industry got 2 billion and I am sure Halliburton got the most but the poor folks as always just got shafted after they got drowned. Is anybody surprised rich Republicans saw to it that rich folks got the money? After five years the sprawling 9th Ward lies in waste deserted except for private parties helping rebuild like your faith based organizations, Brad Pitt's and Habitat for Humanity. 90 percent of the help for rebuilding New Orleans is said to have come from individuals. Army Corps of Engineers is blamed for the levee break that flooded the city. Surprised?
