The Great New Orleans Land Grab
The 17th Street Canal levy was breeched on purpose

Los Angeles, Alta California - September 7, 2005 - (ACN) There were
numerous incidents that occurred during and immediately after Katrina
struck that point to the "unthinkable". It now appears that a
sophisticated plan was implemented that utilized the "cover of a
hurricane" to first destroy and than take over the City of New Orleans? As
the world watched the events unfolding, one could not help think that
something was terribly afoot concerning the rescue by FEMA of the city's
poor and predominate Black population. It seems that a well laid out plan
was put into effect to grab valuable real estate from well established but
poverty stricken Black families of New Orleans? What is being implemented
now is nothing less than a sophisticated scheme to purge and ethnically
cleanse what Whites have termed "Black and 'welfare bloated' New Orleans".


Among the most telling anomalies pointing to something terribly afoot is
the gun battle, killing 5, that occurred at the breeched levy between the
New Orleans Police Department and, what have now been identified as US
military agents. An Associated Press report, which has now disappeared,
stated that at least five USA Defense Department personnel where shot dead
by New Orleans police officers in the proximity of the breeched levy. A
spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers said later that those killed
were "federal contractors" on their way to "repair" a canal. The
"contractors" were on their way to launch barges into Lake Pontchartrain,
in an operation to "fix" the 17th Street Canal, according to the Army
Corps of Engineers spokesman. Deputy Police Chief W.J. Riley of New
Orleans later reported that his policemen had shot at eight suspicious
people near the breeched levy, killing five or six.

Who were these "military agents" that were killed by the police near the
17th Street Canal breeched levy and what were they doing there? Why did
the New Orleans police find it necessary to shoot and kill 5 or 6 of them?
No one is saying anything and it appears that the news story has now been
swept under the rug. Were these US Department of Defense personnel a
Special Forces group or Navy Seals with top secret orders to sabotaged the
levy? There are verifiable reports that at least 100 New Orleans police
officers have disappeared from the face of the earth and that two have
committed suicide. Could these be policemen that died defending the levy
against sabotage by "federal contractors"?

Another telling incident that points to a "nefarious plan" is what New
Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin said at the height of the crisis. He said
publicly, "I fear the CIA may take me out!" Mayor Nagin, a Black, said
this twice. He told a reporter for the Associated Press: "If the CIA slips
me something and next week you don't see me, you'll all know what
happened." Later he told interviewers for CNN on a live broadcast that he
feared the "CIA might take me out." What does Mayor Ray Nagin know and why
does he fear the CIA?

In an interview by WWL TV, Mayor Nagin complained vociferously that
Louisiana National Guard Blackhawk helicopters were being stopped from
dropping sandbags to plug the levy soon after it breeched. There is
evidence that no repairs were allowed on the levy until after New Orleans
was totally flooded!

Many civilian groups who were attempting to aid people trapped in their
attics, on their roofs and at the Superdome are reporting that FEMA, other
federal agents and the US military essentially "stopped" them from doing
so. Convoys that were organized by truckers and carrying "food and water"
were blocked by agents of the federal government on the highways and roads
leading to New Orleans. The American Red Cross, in addition, encountered
numerous incidents and has made formal complaints.

A private ham radio network that deployed throughout the hurricane
ravished region reported that the airwaves were being "jammed" making it
impossible to communicate emergency information. Churches, hospitals and
other essential community groups reported that the first thing that the US
military did, when they arrived, was to cut their telephone lines and
confiscate communications devices. We all witnessed news reports and heard
statements by flood victims concerning the behavior of the US military.
Many Black families complained that military vehicles did not stop to
assist them but just drove by. One news report showed military personnel
playing cards inside a barrack while Black citizens were dying of thirst
and hunger.

Today, it is very revealing how the federal government is handling the
disaster. They want every Black out of New Orleans and those who insist on
staying in their homes will be removed by force. The government, through
some media, is utilizing scare tactics to cleanse New Orleans of all
Blacks. They want no witnesses and this will make the "land grab" a lot
easier to undertake. One scare tactic is calling the flood water "a horrid
toxic soup of feces a rotting flesh of corpses". The military thugs are
now getting tough with Black families that have owned their old but
beloved homes for many generations. Mr. Rufus Johnson, a family patriarch
who lives in the French Quarter, said in an interview, "The army has given
me an ultimatum to leave or suffer the consequences of a forced eviction.
I do not understand . My entire family and I survived Katrina and now they
want to throw me out of the home we have had for generations". Mr. Johnson
lives in a neighborhood where the flood has subsided and his home is not
heavily damaged yet FEMA wants him out!

The fact that Vice President Dick Cheney is heavily involved in the FEMA
operations from behind the scenes is very troublesome. Cheney and his
cronies at Halliburton are in line for the lucrative contracts to
"reconstruct a New Orleans". Deals are already being made with a Las Vegas
business group to construct multi-million dollar casinos in the Big Easy
on prime real estate that was owned by Black families. Whites throughout
history have been notorious "land grabbers". In the USA they first
confiscated land that belonged to American Indians. Most of the Indians
ended up in worthless tracts of land called "reservations". The largest
"land grab", however, was the theft of Aztlan. This occurred soon after
the Mexican-American War. In Alta California , vast "Ranchos" were stolen
from the Californios through a variety of scams. A favorite ploy was to
impose extremely heavy land taxes on the Mexicans and then foreclosing on
the properties. The land was then given or sold at very low prices to the
Forty Niners who came in large hordes to Alta California during the so
called "Gold Rush" of 1849.

Franklin Roosevelt said that the domination of our nation by large corporations is the
definition of fascism. http://www.rense.com/general63/ssi.htm

Under the placid surface [of the economy], there are disturbing trends: huge
imbalances, disequilibria, risks -- call them what you will.
Altogether the circumstances seem to me as dangerous and intractable
as any I can remember, and I can remember quite a lot.
Paul Volcker, Former US Federal Reserve Bank Chairman
April 10, 2005.


"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes that you can do these things. Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible, and they are stupid."

-- President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1952


"The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises
in moral philosophy: that is the search for a superior moral
justification for selfishness."
-- John Kenneth Galbraith

"Fascism should more appropriately be called CORPORATISM because it is a merger of state and corporate power." -- Benito Mussolini (from Encyclopedia Italiana, Giovanni Gentile, editor). http://raenergy.igc.org/republicanfascistparty.html

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. - - Margaret Mead


Let us experiment with laws and customs, with money systems and governments, until we chart the one true course - until we find the majesty of our proper orbit as the planets above have found theirs& And then at last we shall move all together in the harmony of our sphere under the great impulse of a single creation - one unity, one system, one design.
