134. Agreed, that's why I say it was planned genocide. Soon after, devastated areas along the coast were

in the hands of casino ships, it was like the third world where it's called an 'act of god' when it was just business as usual. The poor were exterminated and laughed at down there, as the rich made out like bandits.

They killed generations of people. But before that, they did their character assassination of NOLA. Old Blood Diamond Pat Robertson laid a curse on NOLA for having a gay pride parade and spoke of the debauchery of the city during Mardi Gras to smear the people there.

He wasn't the only one in on the conditioning meme, either. All to make people less sympathetic when the genocide began, run on Faux Noise.

Don't forget the no-fly zones to keep the media away, and Palast detailed the cover ups by BP on the Gulf later with more no fly zones enforced.

I took an interest in Palast from the coup of 2000 and he finds all the dirt. He used to come to my town to speak, don't know what he is doing now. He had to go abroad to have a job as he said too much, IIRC. He may have returned.

Regarding no-fly zones, they set them up again during Hurricane Ike in Galveston. Because they did not want people to see the bodies floating in the water on the mainland north of Bolivar Island. There was no organized planning to rebuild and the casino ships once again set up just off shore and some of the land was sold off to Saudis. When I first visited a year later, it was nothing like the area that I enjoyed visiting while growing up with an open spirit and cooperation.

The ferry from Galveston to Bolivar was ruled over by Blackwater types. I've seen this type in the state I live in now, as unidentified men and vehicles pull over over - for nothing but being native americans.

What goes around, comes around as the saying goes. It won't be stopping for a long time. This nation is no longer my home and I have no way to escape it.

There are some very good people in this country... but I don't see it continuing if the GOP gets in power again in 2016. Of course they aren't waiting, they are putting in their plan from the ground up already.
