To be fair, you look pretty big when you're in full combat load with Kevlar.

Katrina-related: why do people claim the government blew up the levees? Is there anything to support why people would believe this? I'm genuinely curious, as I have heard people claim this, but I don't have background info since I'm not from the area

Thanks for the links. Interesting reads.

Lots of criminal elements did not leave and saw an opportunity by remaining. Contractors were shot at by criminal elements afterward. Military with little-to-no real ammo was in the Convention Center immediately post-Katrina.
Contractors and Military were assisted. By who neither person knows or will say or were aware. But the threat was real and the threat was neutralized by someone or group of someone's.
Someone or some group of someone's whose method of neutralizing the threat was described as being done with, "extreme fricking prejudice."
Trust both of those sources like family. Neither are given to hyperbole. Never heard the "Two SEAL teams working," bullshite, but threatening, highly sketchy situations were dealt with in Ninja fashion.
Whomever was operating at that time, they had high levels of coordination and had high level G2 of issues as they were happening in the City. Seems difficult to imagine coordination on that level without local or federal authorities providing info in almost real time.

You need Proof? See 1:29 for first hand account of the levee being blown up by Prof. Dyan French. She saw it from her house off of Broad and Bienville. And at 1:59 they begin the talk of Causeway Concentration camps being set up in NOLA for black people.

CSPANs video won't load for me right now, but I'll check back in a few

If you can't trust Mama D who can you trust? Its part of the "isms" conspiracy. The Congressional testimony is pure gold of historical truth"isms".

I'd like to see these videos they speak of. I've heard there's a conspiracy of a Boh Bros barge that created the breach in the 17th st canal that flooded Lakeview but was promptly removed to clear liability. Not sure I believe that, as the same person said Trump would be assassinated because "they" didn't want him to be president. Let me clarify that this was a random guy spewing his conspiracy theories, not the person (or people...) who told me the Katrina security forces stories.

Kinda related but not related.. Anybody have any good links to threads about Memorial Hospital and Katrina? I've recently been doing a lot of reading on it and it's really interesting
Posted on 8/22/15 at 12:48 am to monteandmakers
I know first hand that a group was hired to get some stuff from a downtown building and bring it elsewhere. Was very expensive
Posted on 8/22/15 at 1:23 am to Zilla
Interesting links Zilla. Hiring Israeli special forces to guard your neighborhood is a level of wealth I will only read about.

Because the government did blow the levees in 1927, flooding a poor black community in St. Bernard in order to save the city.

Audubon place had the Israeli Mossad as security. Blackwater was in the quarter I believe.

I've heard stories from a reliable source that threats against hospitals were neutralized by the SEALS. The part that could not be verified is if those bodies would ever be found.
---------------------------------------------------------
If any SEALs were at CHNOLA, it was at least 3 days after landfall. Children's is practically on the toe of the levee and did not flood. The staff at Children's was largely on their own. The last patients were evacuated by staff in a convoy of ambulances and personal vehicles to MSY, where they were flown out on a Missouri Nat'l Guard C-130 to Children's Hospital of Kansas City. No Navy SEALs were involved in that operation.

Who was threatening hospitals?
I do know that people had to go and get strains of diseases that a few of research facilities had on had. It wasn't Rambo jumping from copters but had army units aong with government officals handling it
They didn't give a frick about how blow stealing Roxys from the hospital
