Katrina, New Orleans, Biloxi, etc. (Page 3 of 8)

Strange conflict of interest in that 'Dubya' was just on national t.v. earlier around 4:30 and he was actually ASKING americans to send money to their favourite charity while specifying that it is for hurricane relief. Granted charity donations aren't the same as cash donations, but still . . .

This struck a chord with me, as I'm certain it will with many here.  This is saddening beyond words.  *THEY* have taken the dismantling and destruction of this country as we know it to the next level.  This was no random act of nature.  Not by a long shot.

Hi Lakme and all...

The article's a good wake up call for those who are still delusional about our government.   Personally, I've always known that I'd (or rather, we as a people) would be on our own in the event of some catastrophe.  I'm glad that I never assumed that I'd have the government to help me.  But I realize that many do have this belief, and so they should prepare now, and get into a tougher mindset.  Prepare to be completely on your own. It's always best to prepare and expect the worse but hope for the best. 

I've been waiting for years now to see the confirmation that all the conspiracy stuff was really going to happen.   It's 2005 now, and it's starting.  Here we are people, this is it.   After 9/11 I thought for sure that was it, but then nothing else happened.  2001 finished without a peep, and then 2002 and 2003 came and went with nothing other than the Iraq war, which let's face it - doesn't impact the population enough to notice unless you're somebody with a loved one who's serving in the military.  If not, then life goes on, unimpeded.  Gas went up over $2 a gallon, but now we're all used to it.  And we plug along, day after day.   

Then the hurricanes kept hitting Florida, and things started seeming a bit weird.  Like hmm, stuff seems to be happening here. But really it was only if you were somebody down in that area.  I'm sure people in the rest of the country barely noticed.    Then the tsunami hit, and it was like holy crap!  A quarter of a million people in 9 countries, killed.   But still, let's face it...that didn't affect hardly anybody in America.  Sadly, half of America probably doesn't even know where Malaysia, Indonesia or Thailand are on an atlas.   People outside of America probably think I'm joking about that.  Trust me, I'm not!  The general consensus here is, "If it ain't America, we don't care."   Then we had the London bombings, and that's when we had our first inkling that stuff was in the works and picking up and that "they" were ready to kick things up a notch.

Now we have this.   People might like to think this won't affect anybody outside of LA, MS and AL, but it's  a ripple effect.  Gas and oil prices for starters are going to skyrocket.   And then we have to realize......where are those 500,000+ people going to go and do now that the Governor has ordered the abandonment of New Orleans?   Where are they going to live?   There are 500,000 poeple who've lost everything.  Even the ones who evacuated in their shiny SUV's left all their belongings behind and only have whateer they took with them and whatever is in their bank account.  This affects everybody.   I don't mean to sound like a fear monger either, so I hope it doesn't come across that way.  It's just that my mind's been going going going all day with this, thinking about everything.

I agree with Auendove.  You are among the most level-headed posters on this forum, and the last thing I would equate you with being is a fear monger.  Quite the opposite, in fact.

Hi Auendove, what's that mean? I have an idea, but not sure...

Thanks for the thread. I haven't kept up with this situation on the news. You're my news source. More reliable than what I'd get elsewhere.

Regarding weird things happening elsewhere in the south, something I wrote to a friend today ...

... after she'd written this to me about her ex who is in Intel in Florida and their son in Texas who they stopped from driving to Florida:

The lack of news coverage, loss of all facilities and communication, questionable reporting of loss of life, the human condition, and then Lamm mentions the concentration-camp SuperDome, and I'm a-pingin'. It might be happening ... fast.

I think HAARP had a lot to do with the hurricane. You know when hurricanes are about to slam into Florida and but suddenly shift more northeasterly? My understanding is that HAARP is that precise. But, what are the overriding divine forces at work? Does this also not need to be erased if it is such a low vibe? (Human suffering notwithstanding.) Something's got to wake people up too. Is Kali instrumental with the needs and tools at hand? No denying the wretchedness of the situation ... huddled masses ... weeping and gnashing.

As Karen Bishop says, it must happen.

[Edit ... deleted names.]

.........and taking into consideration what I mentioned about my intuitive impressions of New Orleans, that's very interesting indeed...........something was definitely not alligned with New Orleans, that's for sure, if that's what's really going on here.   As someone who felt the vibe, I guess I'm not surprised.  Saddened, yes, calling the government a bungling clown puppet operation for their mishandling of the situation, yes, but not surprised.

I hate to admit it, but CNN.com has been giving a pretty good picture of what's really going on down there.   I avoided going there most of the day because I was disgusted with their headline captions that seemed to be devilishly reveling in this entire situation, but at any rate I caved in and found some eye opening first hand accounts reported by CNN correspondents who are stationed around the city:

- People are sleeping on the highways and under the overpasses of I-10;
- I-10 is wrecked in spots, making it impassable;
-  There's no water, and people are getting desparate and trying to wave down cars on the highway by waving empty water jugs;
- The city has filled with so much water that it has finally "evened out" with the lake;
-  Looters are totally RAMPAGING the city, and it's gone beyond just stealing shoes from Walgreens, as one account reported.   They're going after EVERYBODY -- cops, hospital workers, regular people, you name it.  They cleeaned out the guns from Wal Mart and all the gun shops, and reports are that they are roaming the city.   Hospital workers are barricaded in one of the hospitals because of the looteres that were trying to get in.  A nurse went outside to get fresh air and was robbed at gun point.  In the write up blurb, the CNN correspondent kept saying that the cops "can't do anything", they can't stop it, it's out of control.  There are more looters than there are cops, and "the cops are out numbered."

There's more, but that's the gist.

What I haven't written yet is that I'm seeing this situation from so many perspectives, all simultaneously, although I've chosen to only write from one perspective, which is the alarmed, shocked, upset 3rd density one.   It's a bit weird, but good in that it creates a more well rounded mindset on the whole thing.  Kind of schizo too in some ways, because I'm being pulled in at least 3 or 4 different directions with these various perspectives.
