Many locals have come forward to suggest that the levees were breached on purpose by the authorities. Resident Andrea Garland, now re-located to Texas, wrote in her blog:
"Also heard that part of the reason our house flooded is they dynamited part of the levee after the first section broke - they did this to prevent Uptown (the rich part of town) from being flooded. Apparently they used too much dynamite, thus flooding part of the Bywater. So now I know who is responsible for flooding my house - not Katrina, but our government."
There were reports of many explosions heard in New Orleans, officials say they were transformers blowing up. Total Information Analysis has reported a claim by intelligence expert Tom Heneghen that 25 earwitnesses cited explosions immediately before the levee breach.
Similar reports are now appearing in many web blogs:
"He also mentioned that right before the mass flood there was a loud sound like an explosion." - News from St. Bernard
"I'll tell you the worst thing I've heard and I heard it from my mother. She said she heard several blasts - big booms - right before the levees broke. Several blasts and then all the water came pouring in."

These compasionate conservativles would never do such a thing.
And then give the rebuilding contracts to Cheney's company.
Nah. Not these guys.
yeah... the levees were intentionally bombed on direct orders from Bush. They were bombed by a Navy SEAL team when no one was looking. This is part of his 'war on the brown people' ... yeah, see... this way the area gets flooded and the property values go down. Then Cheney can buy them all up at discounted 'poisoned properties' rates and start drilling for oil there so he can line the pockets of his Halliburton buddies... see...
A little paranoid, are we???
Wealthy business and real estate interests are already meeting in Texas and planning how they are going to build a New Orleans with a different demographic and economic structure. In other words, get rid of poor people for good and replace them with yuppies. See the lead article, entitled "Power Grab in New Orleans," on today's Counterpunch website, www.counterpunch.org.
