This winter has seen other unusual events such as:

the January tornadoes in Wisconsin, [2]

the dozens of tornadoes in the Southeast after dozens of record highs were set, [3]

a storm in the Northeast with gusts to 128 mph dumped nearly 11 inches of rain in 24 hours, [4]

it snowed in Baghdad for the first time in anyones memory, [5]

the longest cold snap in China since records began after an unusually warm period where their Ice Festival had no ice,[6]

Australians are beginning to believe that their drought is here to stay,[7]

Alaska's Iditarod race had to move farther north to find snow,[8]

some cities are not making ice skating ponds because they don't freeze,[9]

Madison, Wis. has had over 80 inches of snow so far which is 14 inches more than ever recorded,[10]

the hurricane season which was extended to Nov. 30 several years ago, produced a rare Dec. Tropical Storm - Olga,[11]

Not one of these events can be directly linked to global warming of course. There simply is no proof to be had.

What can be said is what the climate scientists revealed......in the past 20 years the number of cat. 4 and 5 hurricanes has doubled, and 'climate disasters' have quadrupled.[12] That is 'climate change', and it is unquestionably due to the warming of the planet .... especially the oceans.

Also, in 1949 there was an unusual weather event that spawned a tornado in early February. Well, this month an unusual weather event caused reports of over 70 tornadoes in that region of the US. Unusual weather events are getting more unusual. This is quite literally the result of more energy in the atmosphere and the oceans.

Snorf is the sound you make when the waitress/waiter asks you "how is everything?" when your mouth is too full to speak. "Snorffff-"

Nowhere in this numbing chant is the mention of HAARP and weather control technologies or the fluctuations of solar periodicies.

Of course the catastrophes of 'nature' are escalating.

It's called war and it's being directed against the populations of the world through weather, biological and environmental terrorism.

Anyone investigating the circumstances around the Katrina massacre would see that it was indeed a mass murder and cover up.

And sit looks like the resident zionist psychopath is on this thread like white on rice.

Adding nothing, saying nothing and knowing nothing.

FEMA sure allowed the first responders to see the real purpose of this agency which would make sense when it is noted that Oliver North helped to design its current action strategy.

9000+ dead.

Lord Locksley thinks it's a joke.

[ Katrina: the model for martial law and population control ]

Media coverage of Katrina has been as massive as the affected land area of 90,000 square miles. Up close and in your face coverage of misery, mayhem, murder and lack of preparedness by local governments has saturated cable networks for weeks.

It will be impossible to forget the images of the aftermath of Katrina, the agony, the suffering and the excuses by Mayor Nagin and Gov. Blanco. Following the incredible bungling by Mayor Ray Nagin's lack of preparation for a Category 5 hurricane, we find out that monies allocated by Congress for a mass evacuation plan of New Orleans had been "redirected."

On the heels of that disclosure, more incompetence and possible criminal activities were exposed by the Los Angeles Times: "... Senior officials in Louisiana's emergency planning agency already were awaiting trial over allegations stemming from a federal investigation into waste, mismanagement and missing funds when Hurricane Katrina struck."

It's no secret a whole lot of city, state and federal bureaucrats knew it was just a matter of time before a Katrina would hit. After the fact, there was a great deal of finger pointing and the demand for Mike Brown's head was predictable. But, did FEMA really fail?

Not according to G. Edward Griffin, author of mega sellers, "Creature from Jekyll Island" and "World Without Cancer." Griffin has a profound understanding of the "bigger picture" and in a recent column gave what I believe to be a superb assessment of FEMA and Katrina. He provides a list that shows a clear pattern by FEMA to back up his statements:

There were too many instances for this to be merely a mistake or a bureaucratic snafu ... The primary job of the military, FEMA, and Homeland Security is not to protect the American people in times of emergency, but to protect the government in times of emergency and keep it functioning. Their primary assignment is, not to rescue people, but to control them. Their directive is to relocate families and businesses, confiscate property, commandeer goods, direct labor and services, and establish martial law.

The reason FEMA and Homeland Security failed to carry out an effective rescue operation is that this was not their primary mission, and the reason they blocked others from doing so is that any operations not controlled by the central authority are contrary to their directives. Their objective was to bring the entire area under the control of the federal government ? and this they succeeded in doing very well. They did not fail in New Orleans. They were a huge success. Once this simple fact is understood, everything that happened in the wake of Katrina becomes understandable and logical.

While it is painful, there are some truths that need to be aired. Anyone who lives along the East and Gulf coasts know that at any time during hurricane season, they are vulnerable to being wiped out from wind force, flooding and storm surges. Despite the carnage left after many destructive hurricanes, people continue to build businesses and homes right on the water and then expect the American people to pay to rebuild their properties over and over. The U.S. Constitution strictly forbids this type of taking from the people's treasury.

Congress has voted to appropriate some 0 billion from an already empty treasury to rebuild the Gulf Coast and New Orleans ... exactly as it was before! While it may not be a popular idea, the citizens who live along the Gulf Coast need to get together with their local governments and discuss zoning changes and decide if it makes any sense to continue rebuilding right on the water or close enough to the water to be wiped out by storm surges. The hurricane season isn't over yet and it will come again next June.

We the people and corporate America have opened our wallets and hearts to every American in the Katrina affected area. My husband and I donated to a major charity and to United Animal Nations to help rescue beloved pets. While the .2 billion now given by we the people will never be enough to replace lives lost, homes lost, businesses lost or relieve all the pain and suffering from Katrina, those who live in any disaster area need to know that we the people will be there with you and for you. But, Americans must reject government funding because it's not theirs to give.

First responders to any disaster are the people themselves and then local government. The U.S. military should never, ever be used for a hurricane disaster. This is a very dangerous precedent that Americans must reject. Had the constitutionally authorized state militias been organized and in place in every county within the affected area, Americans would not have gone without food, water or medical supplies for days on end while waiting for mother government to come rescue them.

While Americans in hurricane zones have several days warning, the same isn't true for those who live in earthquake zones like Los Angeles and San Francisco. It is imperative that Americans take this issue seriously and start today in making sure they are fully prepared for disaster, and join the movement to reconstitute state militias as mandated under the Second Amendment. Right now, Hurricane Rita, another monster, is bearing down on the Texas gulf. I pray the aftermath has no resemblance to Katrina.
