********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?)

State Department website informs US public that "conspiracy theories" are not to be trusted:

(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.

My point is disputed by Jeffrey who says: "Why would [the hurricanes] go back into the Atlantic, rather than proceed into the Gulf, as did Andrew in '92, several hurricanes in '95,...That is, it's quite common for the ones coming off the Atlantic to proceed to the Gulf, where quite a few strengthened subsequently."


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


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

--or--

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

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

8. 60,000 said to be trapped in the Superdome. They're not allowed to leave.

10. 1200 trapped in stranded hospital:
www.wsws.org/articles/2005/sep2005/norl-s01.shtml

"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.

*KATRINA: WAR AGAINST POOR*

Email attributed to NOLA rescue worker:
www.boingboing.net/2005/08/30/email_attributed_to_.html


(from Dick Eastman):

"...9/11 was about rich white men on Wall Street, Katrina is about a city with a majority of poor and working class black people being allowed to suffer an insufferable humanitarian crisis: the National Guard and local police have been called off looking to rescue and find new survivors and are being reassigned, used to protect private property and try and stop the looting by a desperate population being left to its own devices.

There are thousands of people outside the convention center without food or water. Why can't they airlift these essentials to an area so prominent? What is the delay? They have been there for days now. What is it to fly over and drop food packages?

Homeland Security is a joke! Imagine this was a 'terrorist attack' and based on this example of emergency response, you can't feel confident that Homeland Security isn't just a massive hoax. If you were trapped on a roof somewhere would you be impressed by the response of the US government? (from Dick Eastman, citing Randy Poindexter.)




*'GLIMPSE OF HELL'*

1. I'm watching BBC. they are bringing in COMBAT TROOPS, not helpers with food and water.
The purpose of the soldiers is to protect soon to be ruined groceries from "looters" -- not to feed the starving people.

They are setting this up like a race war, with Troops.
They "patrol" with guns.
This is concentration camp stuff.
This HAS TO be intentional.
They could have airlifted food and water by now. (the Webfairy)


2. I figure they're trying to provoke a race war.
They could have dropped food and water via helicopter.
There is no excuse to leave these people with no food or water and then shoot them if they "loot." (the Webfairy)
