DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY DETAILS ON WHAT EXACTLY BLEW THE LEVEES?
Uhhhhh......Monica Lewinsky trying out her new kneepads??
Busy little beavers, ain't they?
I heard they're off next to California to place explosives along the San Andreas so Bush set off an earthquake and kill the gays in San Fran.
Consider it done.
Hurricane Katrina had a CAT. 5 SURGE* winds went down but the SURGE didn't. There was NO WAY this wouldn't have breached the levee. The canal levee was the weakest part of the levee** which is where the breaches occurred. Fact is this SURGE was just like a TSUNAMI, extremely POWERFUL. Those are the facts. Anything else proves the ABSOLUTE IGNORANCE of that crowd. In fact, through thoughts I've come to the conclusion this group of folks are NO DIFFERENT than THE MSM.
Posted back to me here at FR: **"I went to college in New Orleans some years ago. The canals were generally known to be the weaker parts of the system, especially in regard to Lake Pontchartrain. Even a casual view of the levees made clear that the river levees were far more substantial than those on the canals.
Many of the Black neighborhoods had older residents who remembered past floods and had a sense of their relative vulnerability. What they did not usually recognize was that a full break in the canal levees would be far worse than times when water simply surged over the levee and overwhelmed the pumps.
Nor did many understand that, for reasons of river delta geology, the entire city is sinking at a rate of about a foot a decade and that past floods were a poor guide to current dangers. I am sure that many died wondering why the water kept rising beyond its maximum in the worst flooding in living memory."
I bookmarked it and made a mental note to return once the steaming pile of conspiracy had attracted enough flies (the replies are funnier that way). Unfortunately, the DU moderators blocked the thread. No dice.
It was that damn Rumsfeld and his prototype levee-bustin' death ray. |
Ever since the existence of HAARP became public, a number of independent researchers have warned the operation has a secret agenda including weather modification, mind control, hi-tech military experiments, and the triggering of earthquakes. Alarmingly, HAARP technology appears well suited to enforce a host of the oppressive goals and agendas of the New World Order. HAARP transmissions may also be used for the detection and monitoring of electromagnetic or plasma phenomena, precursors of seismic activity and tectonic movement. Researchers believe HAARP transmissions are actually being used to activate or trigger exactly the same electromagnetic conditions that can cause tectonic movement.Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain...LOL!
Hey! Don't try to confuse the DUers with the facts.
Uh-oh! You'd better draw your shades and watch the door. You know too much! :-)
Heard (the Corp of Eng?) found at least one [large] barge on the wrong side of a levee break.
That'd do it if it was rammed against that wall, loaded & under force.
"Uhhhhh...Monica Lewinsky trying out her new kneepads??"
Oh geshhhh.
That's good for minimally 50 Hail Marys & 100 Rosaries.
For lying.
Everyone knows even the Peppery Pepperpot's mouth ain't *that* big.
...judging only by who she serviced. :o)
WHY WASN'T THE BREAK SEALED IMMEDIATELY?
Has a DUmmie ever worked a day in their life? Have they ever lifted a finger in manual labor? For that matter, have they ever been outside? They come up with their theories, but never having been in the real world, they can only make guesses as to how it works.
Good point! Most of their "solutions" to various problems require unrealistic facts or scenarios. Everything can happen instantly and at little cost. Does this come from watching too much TV all of one's life?
I've been waiting for this to start. It was only a matter of time before the moonbats went off the cliff like lemmings on this.
Same old Mantra. Just keep repeating the same outrageous lie as if its a fact. The New Orleans Levee board had 2 Billion in Federal Funds available to improve the Levees, but instead focused on building Golf Courses and Condo projects, etc. I really wish the Federal govt had more control over it, since now its going to cost us taxpayers at least 200 Billion in the short term. We'll be paying for their incompetence and corruption for the rest of our lives...
I heard (hate to sound like a DUer, here) that each levee has its own governing board and that these budgets have long been a trough from which people feed. Do the golf courses and condos also account for the loss of wetlands which I understand tends to exacerbate the effect of storm surge?
You heard correct. The 'boards' are the political mechanisms by which the patronage (aka payoff) gravy is ladled.
Corruption taken to an art form.
The DU exchange(s)- hilarious....until reality reminds me that those are real people!!
Then the exchanges become scary ....
Hate to bother you again but got a link??? This is a great companion piece to the one about the Bush Administration creating the cat 4 hurricane just like the "cloud seeding at Woodstock."
I bookmark these when I first find them and then check back to see how they've "fermented." This bookmark is already deleted, but I'll see if I can find it. How are you using these? Any good stories?
