********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: HYSTERIA*

David Horowitz publication calling for a bloodbath of intellectuals:
www.antiwar.com/justin/

"...Expect gun battles at banks, food stores, ATMs, gas stations, and outside hospitals. Leftist professors will be strung up. It will be every man, woman, and child for themselves..."




*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.)




*WEATHER MODIFICATION*

Was Katrina a "man-made storm" for profits?

*HURRICANE KATRINA: MYSTERIES*

Why did the levees fail?
More importantly, why didn't any emergency response center (e.g., Homeland Security) drop sandbags to close the breached levees?
What was the source of the explosions that took place in New Orleans a couple of days ago?
What is the source of the massive oil spill now in the Mississippi River.
Why did the Federal government refuse to drop food and water to New Orleans residents for days?
...
How many government scams (e.g., Oklahoma city bombing, 9/11, Katrina) will it take before US citizens wake up and reject the pseudo-alternative and mainstream media?




*NEW ORLEANS: LEVEES*

New York Times drops hints that the levees were dynamited:
www.nytimes.com/2005/09/03/national/nationalspecial/03mayor.html

Three days of delays by Army corps of engineers:
www.theledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article

"The levees were breached at 17th Street canal and Industrial canal. Why? When all the remaining stretch of levees held. Was the breach at 17th Street an place where there was extra pressure because of the flow? What of the inner breach (Industrial canal) was that caused by the extra pressure caused by the ingress of water by the outter breach? (RW)"


New Orleans levees "not designed" for storm:

*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.
news.monstersandcritics.com/northamerica/article_1044812.php/Levee_breaks_flood_New_Orleans
--or--
snipurl.com/hc78


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

6. Martial law is declared in New Orleans.

--or--

7. Police and National Guard advised to be "ruthless" with "looters":
news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/article309222.ece


8. 60,000 said to be trapped in the Superdome. They're not allowed to leave.
philadelphians2.50megs.com/trapped.html


9. Thousands likely dead in New Orleans:
www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi
--or--
snipurl.com/hd6e


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. (Cat Eye)"


11.Mystery explosions rock New Orleans:

"...The cause of the blasts, and the extent of any possible damage, was not immediately known."
