AMERICA has still not delivered on almost two thirds of the aid it promised victims of the Boxing Day tsunami. It heads a table of rich nations which have failed to come up with the goods - handing over just £77million of the £201million it pledged for relief. The US contribution represents just 2.2per cent of the £3.5billion raised worldwide after the disaster claimed 300,000 lives in south east Asia.

INFORMATION about where Rita is likely to strike.

High probabilities for Port Arthur (86%) then Galveston (64&) by Saturday 7 p.m. within 65 miles of eye of Rita.

We have exposed over the past weeks how FEMA has been selling the American people on the Martial Law Police State in the Katrina aftermath. Will the federal Government attempt to conduct another laboratory test scenario for total dictatorial control should Rita provide the right conditions? Numerous credible sources have come forward with examples of how the FEMA has been deliberately sabotaging relief efforts in New Orleans, making things worse than need be. Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard appeared on Meet the Press and broke down in tears as he described FEMA's criminal activities. Broussard stated "We had Wal-Mart deliver three trucks of water, trailer trucks of water. FEMA turned them back. They said we didn't need them. This was a week ago. FEMA--we had 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel on a Coast Guard vessel docked in my parish. The Coast Guard said, "Come get the fuel right away." When we got there with our trucks, they got a word. "FEMA says don't give you the fuel."...FEMA is being treated as the enemy because they are sabotaging key facilities in an effort to intentionally worsen the already desperate scenes of horror in New Orleans. [and now in Texas for sure.] FEMA/federal troops illegally initiated total gun confiscation of law abiding citizens--without receipts so they are unclaimable--and forcibly removed them from their property in New Orleans.

"They are throwing money out, they are shoveling it out the door," said James Albertine, a Washington lobbyist and past president of the American League of Lobbyists, told the New York Times. "I'm sure every lobbyist's phone in Washington is ringing off the hook from his clients. Sixty-two billion dollars is a lot of money -- and it's only a down payment."

110 absconders from the Dajjal Department of Homeland Security's Transportation Security Agency at Houston's George Bush Airport are living proof that "These colors don't just run - they hide". Their abandonment of Houston evacuees in their hour of need is further evidence, as if any were needed, that trust in dajjal Bush or any of his useless agencies is worthless.

As thousands march this weekend against the Iraq war, the dramatic and tragic events in New Orleans have starkly posed the need for a new, socialist political strategy to guide the struggle against militarism and social reaction.

The massive loss of life and human suffering on the US Gulf Coast are not so much the product of a sudden natural disaster as of a protracted societal disintegration, of which the Iraq war is itself a manifestation.

So this is what is has come to: the antichrist of our age, one of the 30 dajjals to come before the Day of Judgment, the "leader of the Free World" who believes himself to be God - is the sort of Margaritaville gutter drunkard one might see stumbling out of a bar singing some "She done me wrong" song. Dajjal Bush is a loser in every sense of the word. Imagine putting such a reprobate in command of the nuclear button and all US military forces, and it is easy to understand why the US is in such a mess and why the US has repeatedly attracted the wrath of Allah (S.W.T.).

On September 20, Vinny and I returned to the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston to find out what was happening with the Katrina survivors since the Convention Center was closing it's doors as a shelter. An "Exit Only" sign on the doors made it clear that Katrina survivors were no longer welcome at the Convention Center. According to Anna Holly, Onsite Public Information Officer, it was time to "get back to business, back to conventions."

Hurricane Rita...zipped from tropical storm to Category 5 hurricane in 30 hours--storm equivalent of racecar going 0 to 100 in nothing flat. --- first time ever in one hurricane season, two Cat 5's cross Gulf of Mexico on nearly identical paths. --- AIR FORCE HAS POWER TO 'ZAP' STORM, DEMOTE IT, THOUGH THEY DON'T, THEY JUST 'ZAP' PICTURE EVIDENCE OF STORM STEERING. "President Bush, in a speech to the Republican Jewish Coalition, told residents, "listen carefully to the instructions provided by [your terrorist lackeys in the] state and local authorities, and follow them." 'Cause when we finally get a more complete cleanout unlike Katrina, then we can really take over your homes for corporate development purposes, shut down media, start martial law, confiscate guns illegally, have wet ops destroy infrastructure, shoot witnesses, test microwave crowd control devices, build FEMA camps, starve you out, import private paramilitary from Iraq, and bring in more international troops to destroy you. We did that in Katrina. And it worked. That, America, is my "response". Thank you for being such a nation of fools. God bless America. God bless FEMA. Let her rip, Mayfield and Chertoff. Power up that mother. Let's roll.'

Nobody seemed to care that in the building next to the baseball stadium, more than a thousand people still struggling to survive the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Apparently, the Bush administration has finally initiated a plan to deal with the havoc of Katrina: When all else fails, blame the environmentalists. And so, after coming under attack from the entire nation due to their ineptitude, obvious racism, and inexcusably slow response to the hurricane disaster, the administration has responded by digging through their pockets to see if there is any conceivable way that they can blame environmentalists for the flooding of New Orleans.

"Hey, no one told us international NATO military guys at Northcom we can't use foreign troops to invade--to get around the American Posse Commutatus ban against domestic troops...."

Actually, Northcom has a well placed list of exceptions on the Northcom.mil website, already planned out: here's a list of already set up "exceptions" they mention to the Posse Commutatus Act. Expect these "exceptions" to be utilized by Northcom--or invented--as a context for further internationalized martial law in the U.S.A. "as the HAARP turns." However, Americans are well within their rights to conduct immediate citizens arrests of major Northcom figures, and these military figures get two years jail automatically:

Section 1385 of Title 18, United States Code (USC), states: "Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both."

Since Congress DID NOT authorize this action--the only way it could fathomably occur--and it doesn't fit in their legal exceptions mentioned below we are to conclude fairly that Northcom's actions after Hurricane Katrina are a breach of the Posse Commutatus Act as well as a treasonous act combined, and we may conduct citizens arrest of major Northcom figures RIGHT NOW. Who wants to organize the PR for that?

Animal welfare charities working in New Orleans and Louisiana to save animals affected by the hurricane, have repeatedly asked Governor Blanco and President Bush's federal agencies to provide more assistance. From the lack of necessary help to the abandoned animals stuck in people's homes and starving and dying on the streets of Louisiana, Governor Blanco has shown she does not care about animals, or the families and their pets in the State of Louisiana. They have done nothing despite numerous requests by people asking for them to help.

Impeach this month-long vacationing, negligent, treasonous, psychopathic "fiddling while Rome burns" twit. Call his bluff and impeach him. Call his bluff and send him to jail for the Plame Case, for rigged elections, for 9-11, etc.

"They're trying to say that greater federal authority would have made a difference," said George Haddow, a former FEMA deputy chief of staff... "The reality is that the feds are the ones that screwed up in the first place."

Bush has already allowed international armed troops (Dutch, Mexican, Canadian) to "police" the areas of the South. Wake up dummies. Wake up. FEMA has been building million person camps in the midwest now through israeli contractors for the last few years.

KATRINA TIMELINE below showing Bush's team's willful negligence and malice in creating a "non-response disaster" and with FEMA impeding help for the people in the area instead of aiding.
