Do you know what it means...

[Athenais]

Tonight the US Gulf Coast is facing the arrival of a category 5 hurricane.
It is expected to make a direct hit on New Orleans and could become the worst storm in American history.

Evacuations have been ordered for the Louisana, Mississippi, and Alabama coastal areas, but there are over a hundred thousand people unable to leave New Orleans before the storm hits ground.

The city is especially vulnerable as it lies some 10-12 feet below sea level and over the last century it has lost many of the coastal wetlands that once served as buffers to storms.

Building codes have been traditionally lenient and with many older wooden structures, NOLA is set to fall like a house of cards.

Around 35,000 people are being housed in the Superdome for shelter but it is unknown if the structure is strong enough to withstand the force of the storm.

Over a million people could be left homeless by the destruction.


Do you know what it means...to miss New Orleans?
And miss it each night and day
I know I’m not wrong... this feeling is getting stronger
The longer I stay away


The target of this hurricane just happens to be the heart of gas and oil production in the US.
Fuel prices are already at an all-time high for Americans due to recent increases.

Today Hurricane Katrina has been called "the perfect storm".

Do you know what it means?


For the people of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast tonight...may God be with you.

For the people of America...may God help us all...

Just what I was getting at nicolas...they are playing the HAARP on the Gulf Coast.

The storm has subsided but conditions are continuing to get worse as flood waters rise on New Orleans. The levees have broken and the pumps needed to drain the water are not working. Most of the city is already underwater and where it is not, people are looting.

Evacuation and rescue efforts are ongoing, but there are still thousands waiting to get out, including those sheltered in the Superdome which is now filling with water as well.

This news is certainly available elsewhere but I hope those reading here are willing to see beyond the surface of this disaster.

There is mass devastation along the Gulf Coast. Other cities hit hard are Gulfport, Biloxi and Mobile.

At this point 40,000 people are in Red Cross shelters, and the number of refugees could double or even triple before this is over.

Some might wonder, if a natural disaster is in fact man-made, why would people be rescued from it, or even warned in advance and given the chance to escape?

There is a basic understanding in all people, no matter if it is forgotten in a moment of anger, or suppressed in a lifetime of hurt, or twisted into selfish purposes...there is a basic knowing that human life, and in fact ALL life is valuable.

This understanding is the essence of revolution: LIFE IS VALUABLE. Life can not be replaced.

Life is the revolution of the earth itself. The purpose of the earth is to support life.

Sadly...there are those who want to harness the earth's power to destroy life.

If a person feels that his life is not valuable in the eyes of society, he hardens inside. He makes an effort to rely on himself. He becomes more difficult to control.

But a person rescued from certain death and transported to safety with nothing but the clothes on their back is likely to feel some gratitude.

40,000 refugees...and still counting...

It means the illuminati weather control fiends are at it again. Getting closer to enforcing national martial law and it's a test to see if creating chaos can be contained by their stooges.
Looks like it's working. The perfect storm in a large metropolitan area.
Next stop New York, Los Angeles or Chicago....they are due to stamp down on us....

I've observed some really interesting things in the news coverage of this disaster.

On Monday morning while the storm was ravaging NOLA, I happened to be in my car for 10-15 minutes and out of probably 2 dozen radio stations, only one had any news about Katrina. The djs commented that part of the roof of the Superdome had blown off and the building was leaking...then they made a joke and laughed about it.

What a strange day...almost no one was talking about what was happening. Everything seemed to be business as usual. A major US city being destroyed and NO ONE was talking about it. Too strange.

Contrast that with the highly addictive process of watching 24-hour news coverage on television.

Fox News is the most intriguing.
I want to note that it was Geraldo Rivera who called Katrina a "perfect storm".

Today I saw a representative of Remax (real estate co.) saying that people who choose to live in flood-prone areas shouldn't be given assistance when their homes are destroyed.

Just after this segment, there was a Remax commercial showing a man being rescued by a Remax agent in a Remax hot air balloon. He says, "Remax saved my life".

Huh?
I totally despise Remax now.


Another REALLY interesting thing today on Fox News...Sheppard Smith was reporting live from New Orleans on the hordes of people still stranded there in the higher ground areas who are wandering around waiting to be rescued.

He pointed out that, out of the thousands of faces, man, woman, child, infant, every single one of those faces was African-American, all waiting for instructions on where to go. All waiting for instructions. His words, people, not mine, but it couldn't be disputed in seeing the footage of a sea of black faces, downtrodden, desperate, miserable.

I noted the same thing in seeing footage of people lined up to enter the Superdome before the storm hit ground: not all of them, but the majority of them were indeed black.

The people who were housed in the Superdome are now being transported to the Astrodome in Houston, TX. Ehrm, that's TEXAS. A 350 mile trip by caravan of buses. Why aren't they being taken to Red Cross shelters as others have been? Why are the Superdome evacuees being treated separately?

I can't wait to hear Jesse Jackson weigh in on all of this

A truly scary thing I heard today was one evacuee pleading that the people who have been rescued be given jobs to help in the relief efforts. "Put us to work!" It might seem like a good idea but in reality it could turn into something a lot like slave labor.


Some of you overseas might not realize it but the Gulf Coast area is one of the poorest regions in the US. Many of the refugees of this disaster were already living at or just above the poverty level, and now they have nothing. They will probably be offered something in the recovery that might seem like more than they had before, but the price will involve some level of servitude.


The basic principle behind all this is not much different than driving people out of their homes to construct a railroad, or a lake. It's a lot like the Tennessee Valley Authority coming in to take land, only this time it's FEMA and there's much shorter warning: get out now because this area is going to be flooded. Oh but, the TVA would build you a nice new cookie-cutter house, and so will the Katrina recovery efforts.

Eminent domain is the very principle that America was founded on. There is always someone higher up the chain with the power to take away your home and your land. Relocating people into reservations, or refugee camps, same story, different century.

Yes, I know what it means, euthanize those who don't fit the elitist's standards..

cuttingedge.org/news_updates/newsupdatemain.html

There's a headline Bush panics, sends in marines, 380 lb patient euthanized.

This is the plan of the elitists, eliminate the poor and crippled, establish martial law, destroy the freedom we thought we were sending troups to defend, kill the economy, bring control chaos....

also check out www.resne.com/
and scroll down to "New Orleans Is Dying". The spin you get from the conventional news sources are not telling you everything.

This is what it means... as the song goes, "It's the end of the world as we know it...."
