The Big Lie of Katrina

[ditchhook]

Godly, Republican Scholars are called to attend the first Annual Katrina Truth Conference.

Special Guest Speaker: Bishop Richard Williamson.

Spurred on my liberal democrats, the media has reported extensively on the so-called 'Hurricane Katrina' an event that took the lives of more than 1,800 people, and caused more than $81 billion in damages. Media reports of this event are attributed with starting a loss in confidence in the George W. Bush administration that continued unabated until the election of Barrack Hussain Obama. But a growing number of scholars are now asking: Did this supposed Hurricane ever actually happen?

Forensic Athropologists insist that nothing close to 1,800 corpses have ever been documented, and a former NOAA custodian will present evidence that satellite photographs supposedly made of Katrina have a remarkable similarity to photographs of 1989 Hurricane Hugo. Urban development scholars in attendence have remarkable photographic evidence comparing supposed 'wind' and 'flooding' damage is remarkably similar to urban slum decay of cities such as Gary, Indiana.

Did Katrina ever actually happen? Has the Bush adminsitration been unfairly maligned? Did Brownie actually do a heck of a job? Attend this conference and know the truth!

Interesting. It is about time America got the truth of the crimes committed against the Bush administration by the liberal elites of Fox News and the Washington Times. As I have said for a long time urban decayed caused by liberal social programs fills the streets with a nine foot wall of raw sewage.

Exactly: to those who have not seen New Orleans before, it looks like a disaster area. What the media didn't tell you is IT ALWAYS LOOKS LIKE THAT.

Bill Clinton was behind all this, no doubt.

Amen!! It's high time the truth be told about this drive-by media cover-up! Thank you for bringing this to our attention, friend!! I hope you'll make a thread of your own in the "introductions" section of the forum, and tell us about yourself.

This story reminds me of how the joos have for years now tried to pass their scheming lies about the so-called "holocaust" supposedly killed a billion filthy Gypsies and so on. NO WAY! We know better!!

Re: The Big Lie of Katrina

I am a native New Orleanian. I LIVED Katrina. I registered just to let you know the UNTRUTH of the posts here. I cannot believe Americans could turn their backs on their own citizens. I once thought I was an American. I don't anymore because it means nothing. And just to let you know, before Katrina I was a conservative Republican and I have not taken ONE cent from this government. I am not a conservative Republican anymore because I have seen the lies first hand. I am glad my father and grandfather are dead. They fought in the wars of the US, thinking that New Orleans was a US city. Before Katrina, I would have given my life for this country also. Now I see so called Americans saying that AMERICAN lives that were given to the failure of AMERICAN engineering did not die. I am here to tell you it DID happen. When did Christians start listening to LIES as facts? It disgusts me! It is just one more anchor in my life that has been destroyed.

Please back up your false accusations with proof, lady.

Do you doubt God's Holy Word as well as your Republican leaders??

When really bad things happen (like you get eaten by wild beasts, get killed in war, get sick and die, etc.), then you'll know that it was God that did it to you! Shout Glory!!

Ezekiel 14:12 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
14:13 Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it: 14:14 Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD. 14:15 If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts: 14:16 Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate. 14:17 Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it: 14:18 Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves. 14:19 Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast: 14:20 Though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness. 14:21 For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?

You were anchored in Christianity and don't understand why JESUS didn't save New Orleans? I'm surprised you can write in complete sentences.

A link to this supposed conference would be useful.

I can't seem to find any such thing anywhere on the Internet. In fact, I suspect you may be making a not-very-funny.

Hundreds of people died in New Orleans, because God decided they should. Are you making a joke of God's Will?

Amen Brother. Katrina was the first phase of Jesus' eminent domain gut remodel plan for New Orleans. The demolition was accomplished with great labor saving efficiency I might add.

Re: The Big Lie of Katrina

Anyone want to buy a portable home/trailer for five dollars? That's the nominal sum that those squatters will have to pay to keep their custom homes. I want a trailer for five dollars. I'd like the government to ship it to me, too.

Katrina Victims Will Not Have to Vacate Trailers

The Federal Emergency Management Agency had given trailer residents like these in Port Sulphur, La., a deadline of May 31 to vacate or face legal action.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development will also give the 3,450 families still in trailers or temporary housing — including many elderly, poor and disabled people — priority for $50 million in permanent housing vouchers. The money for the vouchers was appropriated by Congress last year.
Some of those living in trailers are destitute and have no other housing. Others, including many people in New Orleans, are living in trailers outside their damaged homes, while waiting to complete repairs that would allow them to move back. The May 31 deadline set off a panic among both kinds of residents and raised an outcry because so much of the housing destroyed by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita has yet to be replaced.
Residents were overjoyed to hear that they would not be evicted. “Are you serious?” asked Belinda Jenkins, a disabled woman living in a trailer in front of her house in the Seventh Ward of New Orleans. “Oh, wow. That’s a blessing.”
Ms. Jenkins and her husband had stored their clothes and important papers in their car, out of fear that they would come home to find their trailer gone.
Obama administration officials also said they would allocate additional money for case managers to help people find permanent housing. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has twice offered money to the Louisiana Recovery Authority for that purpose, but the program never materialized. This time, a senior administration official said, federal agencies will manage the program and hire experienced workers who will visit clients in person.
Advocates for Katrina evacuees were warily optimistic about the announcement, which Obama administration officials have characterized as an effort to fix a messy situation they inherited.
“It is a tremendous step in the right direction,” said Laura Tuggle, a housing lawyer at Southwest Louisiana Legal Services. “This is kind of an acknowledgment that there may have been some missteps along the way.”
Martha Kegel, the director of Unity of Greater New Orleans, a homeless service agency, said vouchers and case management were desperately needed, though she said she remained cautious.
“It’s been such a long history of FEMA making announcements in the media,” Ms. Kegel said, “and nothing much in the way of assistance has ever trickled down to the elderly and disabled people trying to repair their homes.”
The administration official, who asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to speak publicly on the subject, said trailer residents would be notified of the change in policy within a week. The official said families that had already left their trailers because they were afraid of eviction would be eligible for the vouchers if they met the income requirements.
And FEMA said no one would be forced out of a trailer. “No one will face evictions from a temporary unit while these new measures are implemented,” said Clark Stevens, a spokesman for the emergency agency.
Because of the severity of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the complexity of rebuilding, the temporary housing program lasted far longer than anyone anticipated. At the beginning of May, FEMA notified trailer residents that they had until the end of the month to vacate or legal action would be taken against them. An agency official said at the time that the trailers would be auctioned off or sold for scrap.
Almost two-thirds of those still in trailers are homeowners who are trying to complete their repairs. Many said they had been bilked by contractors or had received grants from the Road Home, a taxpayer-financed program to help rebuild houses, only in the last few months.
Susan Mangipano, a waitress living in Lacombe, La., said that after many false starts and a fight with her insurance company, renovations of her home were 75 percent complete. She had previously been told she could buy the trailer she was living in from FEMA for $9,000, a price far out of her reach. Ms. Mangipano, who had put all her things in storage in case the trailer was removed, said she would probably buy the mobile home for the giveaway price, but worried that it would be expensive to move it when it was no longer needed.
Mobile homes will be sold by the government for $5, and smaller “park model” travel trailers will go for $1. The smallest travel trailers, which do not meet the government’s definition of “manufactured housing,” and any units whose formaldehyde levels exceed safety standards, will not be sold. Of the 3,446 trailers now in use, about 1,160 are eligible to be sold. Families living in trailers not for sale will be able to apply for one of several hundred trailers that the agency hopes to donate through nonprofit groups.
Ms. Mangipano said she had been told that she would have to buy insurance and dig a new septic tank to qualify for a donated trailer.
The housing vouchers will help those who were renters before the storm and who make less than 50 percent of the area’s median income. The $50 million is enough for about 6,800 families.
The trailers were only one part of FEMA’s housing assistance program. Tens of thousands of other families moved into apartments that were paid for by the agency. There were also vouchers for the eligible among those families, but thousands have gone unused because of a bottleneck at the housing authorities that are supposed to be processing them. That program, which currently houses more than 16,000 families, was extended until Aug. 31.
