********911: NEWS MEDIA HOAX********


"We Went to War over Cartoons (the Webfairy)"


"What do you think would happen if the world became aware that there were no hijacked planes that day, that two of the flights didn't exist, that the towers were attacked with secret technology, that the horrifying image which people saw on TV was just a movie, and that media also faked lists of passengers on the non existent flight which didn't hit the North tower, that a missile of some sort was fired into the pentagon and that fake videos and fake eyewitness reports were concocted to try to sell the story? (Gerard Holmgren)"


What really hit the South Tower of the WTC?

(will the "planes" that strike the WTC look more real in this movie than in the movies we saw on 9/11/01?)

*INTELLECTUAL DISCOURSE: 'CONSPIRACY THEORIES'*

State Department website informs US public that "conspiracy theories" are not to be trusted:
usinfo.state.gov/media/Archive/2005/Jul/27-595713.html

(you can never lose an argument where you can use the phrase "conspiracy theory" to dismiss another point of view. However, it is somewhat Orwellian to say the least that the State Department is telling the public what to THINK.)





*HURRICANE KATRINA: SUMMARY*



1. Fox TV airs program called "Oil Storm" which depicts, in documentary-style, the catastrophic destruction of New Orleans via runaway hurricane. In the film gas prices rise sharply and an economic upheaval takes place.
www.imdb.com/title/tt0461695/
www.walltowall.co.uk/projects/project.asp
www.fxnetworks.com/shows/originals/oilstorm/main.html

"...The premises of the television-movie were as follows:

1. A super hurricane strikes New Orleans and the Gulf oil installations.
2. Disorder erupts and martial law is declared. The area is evacuated.
3. Oil supply is disrupted catastrophically and prices rise astronomically
4. Economic chaos and depression result

How prescient – indeed clairvoyant – this major television event turned out to be.
And so close to the actual events themselves...(Lynn)"



2. Katrina batters Florida for 24 hours. Instead of turning away towards the Atlantic and becoming a low-pressure zone like 99.9% of all hurricanes that have hit Florida, Hurricane Katrina gathers steam and heads to New Orleans.

Corporate and pseudo-alternative quickly announce the storm is of "natural causes" and source it to global warming.


3. Katrina hits New Orleans. Two levees mysteriously fail.

4. Neither Homeland Security nor any other emergency response organization manages to sandbag the levees. Helicopters are supposedly diverted from New Orleans.

6. Police and National Guard advised to be "ruthless" with "looters":

"This is really unbelievable. While the US Naval hospital ship should have evacuated the two big hospitals in New Orleans BEFORE the storm hit (when people were told to evacuate) since power outages and flooding were to be expected, I bet by now the Europeans are sitting there scratching their heads and wondering if they shouldn't have sent their militaries' hospital ships to New Orleans, Gulf Port, and Biloxi since the USN doesn't seem to be able to get our own off its moorings in Maine. (Cat Eye)"




*KATRINA: REACTION*

Bush rules out significant federal aid to hurricane victims
www.wsws.org/articles/2005/sep2005/hurr-s01.shtml

"...Bush made clear that he would do nothing to halt brazen price-gouging by the energy industry, which has seized on the disaster to hike up gasoline prices all across the country, boosting already swollen corporate profits. Gas prices were raised literally overnight anywhere from 30 to 75 cents a gallon, and are now above $3 in most of the country. There is talk of gasoline soaring toward $5 a gallon in the coming weeks or months...”
