I thought that it might be a possibility since the levy broke a day after Katrina came shore. When you think about it, there are many with vested interest, everyone from media (Katrina was a disappointment, otherwise) to feds (we want the DoD to take over) to those with flood insurance . Oops. I guess conspiracy Weds should be at Billy D's blog...grin...

Racist levees and water.
Dude, this country is wound up like a spring loaded bear trap just waiting for a paw. Something's gonna come along and set it off, either naturally or with a little help from somewhere.
You can actually feel it in the air. Everybody's pissed off right now. Everybody.

You got the low income people living in fear. Wondering how they are going to get to work with the gas prices. The Gas is taking a hunk out of consumer spending. Jobs depend on that spending. The spring will uncoil soon.

Nate, I totally agree w/ this post.
Black people kill black people in huge numbers all the time... without the need to employ massive flooding or other old testiment type methods...
Ever noticed how they can off each other by the dozens, & no one cares, including the so-called black leaders? But if white people are responsible, Heaven help us.
Muslim vs. Everyone.
Heh heh, that's so true.

"I heard from a very reliable source who saw a 25 foot deep crater under the levee breach,"
Yeah that's called scour. Any time you have a breach of a dam or levee the critical flow is at the breach, and it causes scour, a hole at the breach from the high velocity flow.

If you want a big natural example of scour, look up the Bonneville flood from Lake Bonneville (precurser of Salt Lake). It's amazing what enough water can do.

Some of us, I'd say, are wound tighter than others.
I'm as sick of political correctness, big brother, and collectivist busybodies as anybody.
But also I'm looking forward to getting the mortgage paid off...
and taking a vacation...and maybe buying a convertible.
Remember, hot showers and cable TV are going to be scarce should this country ever go into total collapse...along with food, electricity, gasoline, clean water, decent medical care, etc., etc.
For those of us who aren't already 'set for life' with tracts of land, a mountain fortress, a secret lair, a moon base, and a pirate ship...its gonna really really suck.
I'm not spoiling for a fight or beset with romantic notions about life in a post-apocolyptic America.
It may be inevitiable, but I'm not looking forward to it.

Here is a short video 5meg I put on our FTP site. If you don't understand scour, this video of a controled spillway will help you visualize why there might be a 25 foot hole at the breach in NO.

And then there's the Grand Canyon.

You know, you've had a lot of serious-minded posts lately. All the more reason for me to ask: where the heck did Bad Joke Wednesday go? By my count, this is week three of the Humor Hostage Crisis...

Fuckin' 'ey, Nate.
One of these days, the lights are going to go out, and the looters are going to come out.
I pity the fool-white man who hasn't armed himself for that day.

Look boys
If you think only blacks will loot steal and kill when they are hungry you are not understanding human nature. When you prepare if you plan on sticking around, stock some extra food for the neighbors. I is the christian thing to do. Besides once you start sharing, almost everybody else will too who have something to share. This is not only pratical advise, but Christian advice as well.

I'm in the same boat, but am about as ready as anyone should it come to that. I hope it doesn't, but in some sick way it would be nice to have a shot at cleaning up the treasonous anti-american neighborhood. Keep your powder dry!

This isnt quite a movie, but it is the collapse of the Teton Dam in Idaho
Amazing pictures and the timeframe is so incredibly short.
