How could they possibly think they could get away with this. Surely they'd be discovered... Why, they'd need some form of major calamity to cover their tracks, destroy evidence, and wipe 500+ police officers off the face of the earth.

HHHHHmmmmm.... "Say Ray... How we gonna do that?"

Louis Farrakhan: Levees Were 'Blown Up'

Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan is telling his followers that the levees in New Orleans may have been deliberately "blown up" to kill the city's black population.

The influential preacher was in Charlotte, North Carolina on Monday, where he detailed his Hurricane Katrina conspiracy theory.

"I heard from a very reliable source who saw a 25 foot deep crater under the levee breach," Farrakhan explained. "It may have been blown up to destroy the black part of town and keep the white part dry."

Farrakhan didn't say who he thought was behind the plot to blow up New Orleans' levees.

The Muslim minister also blasted both FEMA and the Red Cross, saying their response to Katrina victims after the levees were blown up was inadequate.

New Orleans Police Foundation
Elodia Blanco, Recruiting Coordinator

I don't know where she lives now , but in 1999 Elodia Blanco wanted to be permanently relocated because her home was located on a toxic dump.

Online News Hour: FIGHTING BACK   June 21, 1999

BETTY ANN BOWSER: When Elodia Blanco first walked though this New Orleans neighborhood 19 years ago, she saw a good place to raise her family. The streets were safe, the neighbors friendly, and the children had lots of places to play.

ELODIA BLANCO: And we were very excited, thinking that this would be a nice home-- four bedrooms, the lot was large, 160 by 100, you know, lots of space, and thought it was a decent community to live in.

BETTY ANN BOWSER: But the neighborhood looks different today. Signs of trouble are everywhere, trouble that began when residents discovered that their new homes had been built atop the city's 50-year-old dump.

ELODIA BLANCO: When you tried to plant a garden or tried to grow grass, it was a nightmare. There was everything from bones to truck tires to bottle glass to -- I mean, within -

BETTY ANN BOWSER: In your back yard?

ELODIA BLANCO: In the back yard, the side yard, the front yard. Everywhere you dug, it was just debris. [snip]

ELODIA BLANCO: I'm begging you all today to do whatever is possible. Temporary relocation is not an option. That's not an option. We need permanent relocation.

Last Saturday driving through a particular part of Fayetteville, NC -- at a stop light in traffic, there was an NOI guy trying to hawk the NOI paper... All minorities in their cars around me were deliberately looking away and not making eye-contact with the guy.

So, I have to question the use of "influental preacher" in the news article.

I don't think Farrakhan's a preacher, I think he's a cult leader.
