********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?)

*NEW ORLEANS: BRIDGE SHOOTING*

Contractors killed in New Orleans:
apnews.excite.com/article/20050904/D8CDN3K80.html

(what's remarkable about this story is it reads like the Iraq war coverage. We're told these men had guns, with no explanation for why contractors would bring them to work. Also, we're told that "five or six" people have been killed; as if the detail is not significant.)


Kurt Nimmo, 'Army kills New Orleans Contractors':
kurtnimmo.blogspot.com/

"...Incomprehensible things are happening in New Orleans. For instance, the Ministry of Homeland Security will not allow the American Red Cross and other non-government agencies and relief organizations to deliver food..."


"In one version, they are army contractors that were shot.
In the other, the army contractors are fine, and 'gunmen' were shot.
In both, the police are blamed.
My betcha is it was triggerhappy soldiers fresh from Fallujah. (Webfairy)"




*KATRINA: MEDIA*

Progressive Media: "...[10,000] are dead because of the incompetence, negligence and indifference of the US government...":

Union media: "the ultimate catastrophe of government cuts":
www.nupge.ca/news_2005/n01se05b.htm

("incompetence" and "government cuts" sounds much better than the destruction of New Orleans was by the design of the US government.)





*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:

"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)"

*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 it heads West, then staggers downward in latitude like a falling top, pivots, gathers steam and heads for the Gulf Coast.

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.

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.


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.

9. 1200 trapped in stranded hospital:

10.Mystery explosions rock New Orleans:

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


11. Evacuation of Superdome put on hold:
