...they used their response to Hurricane Katrina as a test laboratory.
That little quote from the original post got my attention more than anything.
Remember the gunfight between Federal Agents and New Orleans Police on one of the Levy's that 'failed'? It was on the news, oh for about an hour or
two, before the story changed to armed rioters and was buried. Remeber the FEMA folks turning away the red cross and all the other aid that was
pouring in? Remember the gun confiscations? Weather Modification theories with Katrina? The levys survived the hurricane, the first words from New
Orleans was that they had survived the worst of the storm and it ok, then the levys went. Residents near the levys heard explosions? Remember Nagin
saying anything happened to him it was the CIA?
I'm of the opinion that the entirety of Katrina was an orchestrated event in order to test contingency plans for martial law.
