Katrina Levee Bomb Is More Fake Politics
by Fintan Dunne
Katrina survivors giving testimony to a House committee, investigating the government's preparations and response, have alleged that there are numerous witnesses to explosion sounds and that divers have found a 30-foot crater at the bottom of the 17th St. Levee that flooded the 9th Ward.
The hearing was requested by Rep. Cynthia McKinney, D-Ga., a member of the Congressional Black Caucus.
Oh! Was it really! Hmmm......
Ok, let's connect the dots.....
The bombshell claims will be skipped over by the mainstream media and likely aired only at C-Span and left blogs, etc. This segmentation of media means that such stories can be floated to specific sectors of the public well used to so-called "conspiracy theories" --without ever becoming a mainstream political issue.
Except of course, these claims will get a more widespread audience in the black community in the U.S.
And this hearing was all "Black Caucus" McKinney's idea.
Now, some very important dots:
Recall that, as we reported (Cynthia's Big LIHOP Day Out), McKinney held hearings in July, 2005 on whether the Bush administration was involved in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Yep, like levee bombs, that was a previous "conspiracy theory" event from the same McKinney.
At that 9/11 hearing --just to help Cynthia out-- were such luminaries such as:
--Melvin Goodman, a former CIA official
--Robert Baer, author, former CIA official
--Melvin Goodman, Fellow, Center for International Policy, former CIA official
--John Newman, Ph.D., professor University of West Virginia, former NSA analyst
--Nafeez Ahmed, author of The War on Truth,
--Paul Thompson, author of The Terror Timeline
--Peter Dale Scott, Ph.D., author of Drugs, Oil and War
In other words, a tired old crew of well-worn CIA hacks.
Now KcKinney is back with the "Levee Bomb". So what's up?
Is the CIA keen for word to get out that the bad guys blew the levee; ethnically cleansed hundreds of thousands of blacks; and drowned those who did not make it out??
What kind of a CIA is that, you ask? They are supposed to keep that kind of stuff hushed up --not helping to have it all broadcast on C-Span??
Well, the answer to this apparently bizarre behaviour from the agency and their stooges is that the CIA are prepared to mentally club the black vote into the waiting arms of the Democratic(Corporate) Party and away from the Republican(Corporate) Party.
Why?
Because Hillary NEEDS their Votes !!!
I mean, what do they have to do the alienate blacks from the Repugnicans?? Drown 'em? Abandon 'em? Have the Bushies publicly insult 'em? They've done all that already.
Wait.... I know. This will seal the black vote, for sure.
Have Bill Clinton 'black-up' and do Ole Man River while campaigning with Hillary in 2008.
That oughta do it.
If you are still being sucked into this 'engineered' fake politics by these slimeballs, you need to listen to our special show:

So, leaving aside the staged political gymnastics, did they really blow the levee?
The survivors panel said that historically, towns have blown levees upstream to prevent their own town from flooding, so blowing up levees was nothing new for Louisiana.
Here's what happened in 1927:
When the rains broke records in April 1927, the Gulf of Mexico was full and worked as a stopper to the Mississippi. The Mississippi was full, too, pushing its own waters up tributaries, breaking levees and causing flooding as far as Ohio and Texas. All that water had to go somewhere.So, yeah they blew the levee. Not just to get votes for Hillary though.
It couldn't go to New Orleans, panicky city fathers told the Army Corps of Engineers; it would devastate the regional economy.
To save New Orleans, the leaders proposed a radical plan. South of the city, the population was mostly rural and poor. The leaders appealed to the federal government to essentially sacrifice those parishes by blowing up an earthen levee and diverting the water to marshland. They promised restitution to people who would lose their homes. Government officials, including Commerce Secretary Herbert Hoover, signed off.
On April 29, the levee at Caernarvon, 13 miles south of New Orleans, succumbed to 39 tons of dynamite. The river rushed through at 250,000 cubic feet per second. New Orleans was saved, but the misery of the flooded parishes had only started. The city fathers took years to make good on their promises, and very few residents ever saw any compensation at all.

It was also a very timely and effective Psyop on the American people.
