 JPFO ALERT: If You Don't Like the Truth, Don't Read This Alert! -- I guess this disproves the old claim that "the police and military would never enforce a rule to take our guns away!".
 
 Local Officials helped trap people in New Orleans - - old ladies dying and the brother officer go the extra mile to save a "brother". Now he can help disarm the rest of the law abiding citizens.
 RE; Closing bridges and trapping evacuees:
 http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1481211/posts
 Here's another first hand report. Note that LNG (Lousiana National Guard) troops, on site, in front of the refugees, ate and drank while at least one trapped person (an elderly woman) died of thirst:

 Governor Blanco's Letter To President Bush 8/27/05 -- This is backdated. The crooked LA Officials are re-writting the truth
If we can prove that we can have another Dan Rather moment here, and on the anniversary too...
 
 What went wrong in New Orleans...
 
 Initial sweep of New Orleans finds far fewer bodies than feared
 
 The Caller Rush Just Had On (vanity)
 
 Patriot Act or NOPD: which tramples our rights? -- This just set a very dangerous precedent.
Remember the duration always last longer than the emergency. If you are in the South/ Gulf states, don't be surprised if you get a knock on the door.
 
Hurricane race issue is a fabrication
 
 Dancing on the graves of black people
 
 Bush racism in NO - BS! Racism was 1994 and thy name was Bill.
 
 "I bet you those buses were running on election day!" -- Janice, an African American woman, age 55, is all fired up against the Democrats in Louisiana. Said "I bet you those buses were running on election day!"

 Interdictor Blogger on NRAnews now -- This whole thing bothers me to no end. ... I can't even fathom what could be in store for us if our own government would disarm us in the face of danger and not allow us to protect ourselves.

 Black refugees ask if Utah will really accept them -- This title, and the comments of Larry Andrew in the first couple of paras, say volumes more about the culture of the undeclass in New Orleans than it does about anybody in the entire state of Utah.
 Someone needs to inform these people of the TRUTH about Red State America, instead of the CRAP they've heard from the Jesse Jacksons and Kweise Mfumes of the world: everyone who behaves in a civilized manner in Red State America is welcome, regardless of skin color. Everyone who behaves in an uncivilized manner is not welcome, regardless of skin color.

 Best Friends at the Frontlines: Time running out for our boat in St Bernard Parish
 Best Friends Animal Society ^ |
 
 
 
 Notes From Under Water: The struggle to survive the disaster in New Orleans -- things have degenerated into Road Warrior-like conditions ... Kingfish is waiting for "the crickets," as he calls them, to find it and loot it. It's made him a bit crazy. Or maybe not so crazy. He and his friends are armed to the teeth, with nine-millimeter pistols and all manner of shotguns: over-and-unders, side-by-sides, pumps--the works... WITH ALL HIS BLUSTER AND CRICKET-TALK, Kingfish is a bit of a cocked-fist altruist. In addition to loading weapons, he's spent the week saving animals and people... (Things are so dire in New Orleans that citizens have taken to calling cable television personalities over police or medics.) -- they shrug the shrugs of men who don't seem to have fallen that far, perhaps because they didn't have that far to fall.
 
 A friend sent me this slide show and it's the very best I've seen. It focuses on the quarter and the cbd. What is most striking to me are the scenes the day after compared to the scenes 3 days after.

 Stories Now Emerging (Katrina aftermath)
 
 Welcome To Mississippi - First Hand Account of Relief Worker -- Understatement of the year?

Pulpwood haulers (lumberjacks to you Yankees) who showed up at Interstates and main feeder hi-ways heading south. Started cutting up the downed trees with their own chainsaws, and loading them up with their hydraulic boom hauling trucks. Opening the way south for our relief effort...nobody called them....they just showed up and started doing what had to be done. Welcome to Mississippi.

The same thing happened here when Hurricane Isabel passed through. Both pros and just plain people immediately started clearing the roads – neighbors helping neighbors cleared the back roads and access roads to homes.

A far cry from New Orleans.

 
 Police in Suburbs Blocked Evacuees, Witnesses Report -- The following is a blog entry on 9/2/05. See post 28.
 Here are more links about the paramedics' story about Gretna. On 9/2, a MSM story appeared supporting the general outline of some of what they said.
 
 Local Firefighter Recounts Scene in New Orleans (LAFD)
 
  Lavish tastes of card-carrying lowlifes --

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

 
 Why do some in the media demand to publish photos of dead people? -- For the same reason they DON'T publish photos of the 9/11 dead. They do whatever they think will lessen support for Bush.
 
 
 
 Commentary: Words in Katrina's Wake -- Having seen Andrew's devastation firsthand, I can say this is far worse. Andrew was a shotgun shell fired at a paper target. Katrina is an atom bomb fired at the same target.
 
 Anderson Cooper stupifies Eddie Compass -- "Notice how often the Democrat Party sells out the loyal African-American."
 It is critical for the Dems and Hillary's chances for the presidency that the American public not be left with the image of failed female leadership in a time of crisis.
 
 For the KATRINA CRIME DENIERS, links to eyewitness accounts of murder, rape, shootings, etc. -- Here are first hand accounts by soldiers for all the doubters out there, Spc. Philip Baccus of the 527th Engineer Battalion, Spc. Cliff Ferguson Army Times
 
 This whole fiasco in NO is outragous. The media swarming the scene is allowing us to see the lies of the local government even if the media hasn't quite caught on that the state and city officials are dangerously incompetant boobs.
During same press conference the city offcials stated that no emergency workers had gotton sick from the water - the same water they claim is worse then the bubonic plague for any citizens who remain.
 Holdouts to Be Removed From New Orleans -- "They shot our dogs!" Miller, a 54-year-old housewife, said --
-- at least in St. Bernard Parish, police are now shooting people's animals right in front of them, if the people will not evacuate.
 "By midmorning, though, there were no immediate reports of anyone being taken out forcibly, police said."

 Hide your wepons, the government is coming to protect you.

 Documentation of Louisiana Officials Blocking Aid to New Orleans
 
 Alright, after seeing the following two links I am beginning to feel differently entirely. I had not seen the following two links until today, audio for ABC and video for CNN (for those of you I pinged, here are the links):

ABC

CNN

I retract my earlier posts regarding waiting to see. Now I have three different experiences saying the same thing. After seeing these in conjunction with the video yesterday of the older lady...I am more convinced now that the order is to disarm law abiding citizens who are safe in their homes, homes that are dry and in good shape, people who are well provisioned and safe and only wanting to defend their homes.

 Left-wing venom exceeds Katrina's fury ("Democrats seem increasingly unhinged"...)

 National Geograhic Article Eerily Predicts New Orleans Storm Damage Almost a Year Ago.
 
 Breaux: New Orleans must be rebuilt --  "Fine. Gather your constituents of LA and get on with it. Leave the US taxpayers out of it. We're tapped"   One thing is clear: the money should not be placed in the hands of Louisiana pols. In such a tremendous project, there will be huge waste anyway.
 
 Katrina, the race card, and the welfare state
 
 Give me $20,000. Gimme what the -- :"$20,000 dollars so we can start over I mean gimme what the fxxx I deserve. I didn't ask to be bused here like we didn't ask to be put on slave ships."

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1481877/posts
 I am just now getting off the floor. That was one of the most telling moments we have seen. Unscripted and a real glimpse at how the Welfare State mentality rules the lives of many in this disaster and the country in general.  I am sick of I owe anyone anything. This has turned into a Democratic Free-For-All atmosphere.
