Rampant public corruption was doing big business in New Orleans long before Hurricane Katrina ever hit. [And Canada was right in the middle of it.]

"Could New Orleans’s descent into quasi-revolutionary chaos be an indirect result of racketeering, kickbacks and procurement fraud by Democrat insiders with ties to a fast-growing organization called `La Francophonie’?

"...a Montreal-based, racketeering influenced and corrupt organization (RICO) with outlandish claims to represent the interests of the French-speaking world, including such luminaries as the negotiator of America's abdication of its allies in South Vietnam, John Kerry, and the companion to Kofi Annan at the U.N's school for translators in Geneva, Teresa Heinz

"In international relations, Louisiana’s foreign partners include the governments of France, the French community of Belgium, and the Canadian provinces of Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Louisiana now participates in the sometimes-raucous Sommets de la Francophonie as an observer.

"La Francophonie was funded and re-structured for its dictatorial, syndicalist, racketeering and possibly genocidal goals by insiders of CIDA (Canadian International Development Agency) at a 1986 meeting in Paris.

Appears that people and organizations in Canada were/are right in the middle of this corruption, and may be partly responsible for the loss of New Orleans and over 10,000 people.

There's more. Read it all.

Army’s engineers spent millions on Louisiana projects labeled as pork. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Before Hurricane Katrina breached a levee on the New Orleans Industrial Canal, the Army Corps of Engineers had launched a $748 million construction project at that very location. But the project had nothing to do with flood control. The Corps was building a massive new lock for the canal, an effort to accommodate steadily increasing barge traffic.
Except barge traffic on the canal has been steadily decreasing.
In Katrina’s wake, Louisiana politicians and other critics have complained about paltry funding for the Army Corps in general and Louisiana projects in particular. But over the five years of President Bush’s administration, Louisiana has received far more money for Corps civil works projects than any other state, about $1.9 billion; California was a distant second with less than $1.4 billion, even though its population is more than seven times larger.
Much of that Louisiana money was spent to try to keep low-lying New Orleans dry. But hundreds of millions of dollars have gone to unrelated water projects demanded by the state’s congressional delegation and approved by the Corps, often after economic analyses that turned out to be inaccurate. Despite a series of independent investigations criticizing Army Corps construction projects as wasteful pork-barrel spending, Louisiana’s representatives have kept bringing home the bacon.

Mudville Gazette suggests some areas that should be investigated.
