Something no one really talks about regarding Katrina was how it took the city by surprise. It sounds dumb, but it's really true.

I started working downtown New Orleans the year before and the company was on the 12th floor of the building we were in. There was a tropical storm coming through and this guy from our IT department comes by and hands me a trash bag and phone book. I'm like - what the hell do I do with these? He says put the trash bag over your monitor and the phone book under your computer on the floor when you leave. The windows leaked so bad they could get flooding - and this is how they protected the computers. I was like wtf.

Well - fast-forward to Katrina. Nobody remembers that the storm started off on the east side of Florida and had gotten to be pretty big (Cat 4 or 5). Then it cut due west across Florida and lost a lot of power - only a tropical storm. It took a day or so, then it swole up again in power, but the weather guys kept saying it was going to turn north. On Tuesday it was going to hit Panama City. On Wednesday it was going to hit Pensacola. On Thursday it was projected to hit Mobile. On Friday it was projected to hit Biloxi. All of these projections gave everyone a false sense of safety because we were still on the west side of the eye - so no major panic.

I left work on Friday late and there was no trash bag and phone book, nobody on the news thinking we were going to even really see the storm's effects.

Then we all woke up Saturday morning and went - ohhhhhh shite.

The storm landed late Sunday night/early Monday morning. Pretty much the city only had 48 hours to prepare which is insane.

I say all of this not to take up for any failings on the responses - at all. But knowing whether or not you're on the west side or east side of the eye is really a major determining factor in how people respond. And we didn't find out until less than 2 days to go. If you weren't prepared in advance, there was no time to prepare - you just had to get out.

People had known for decades that the perfect hurricane track for destruction was having the eye ride up into Lake Pontchartrain. The thing nobody knew could/would happen is the storm might surprise you by pretending to go up the east coast of the United States, make a surprise kick left over Florida, and then roll up on you all stealth like.

But why is not a false start?

Can someone explain to me what is going on with the Eagles Oline? Why is the right guard able to keep moving and touching the center and turning and looking at the qb, but as soon as he faces the front and is "set" they snap the ball?

It all makes sense now. Proud boys full of FBI establish an insurrection. Then charge proud boys with sedition. The charge trump with seditious conspiracy. This way trump won’t ever be able to be run for president agsin. This is all a long planned out attack on US, through trump, to keep the status quo in power.

White supremacists show up to review election equipment and democrats say, “oops we lost the keys”.

I used those affiliate links and it took me to walmarts checkout and I was able to use paypal. Says it will arive by January 9th.

You can click several of those links and have them running simultaneously. I could see them loading and one pulled up the walmart logo and I was in.

If the 10 minute drops is true, you should be able to get one I think.

Correct. I assume that is the reason we don't already know her name. Her positions needed to re-written to exclude such inflammatory positions.

I say ideology. To Dr Welsing perhaps it was a theory. It has become something more.

If you can stomach it, search for Dr Frances Cress Welsing on youtube. There is a playlist with 101 videos. They are illuminating.
