Posted Sep 8, 2005 07:55 AM PST - Category: CURRENT EVENTS http://www.thinkprogress.org/katrina-timeline === "This area is somehow separate from the United States." The short version is: there won't be any pictures of this particular group of guard soldiers on our newscast tonight. Rules (or I suspect in this case an order on a whim) like those do not HELP the palpable feeling that this area is somehow separate from the United States. At that same fire scene, a police officer from out of town raised the muzzle of her weapon and aimed it at members of the media... obvious members of the media... armed only with notepads... Bush has clearly slammed a lid on all news reporting in the disaster area. http://www.legitgov.org/index.html#breaking_news === America the Betrayer "The United States is no friend of Israel. " That's not what you were saying when you took all that money from us, now totaling more than four times the entire cost of the Apollo Moon program. I have no problem if Israel wants to think of the US as their enemy. All I ask is a refund of all the money poured into Israel for the last half-century, and for Israel to send back all those weapons we gave them. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/article.php3?id=5518 === This is Criminal Report from New Orleans [Note: Malik Rahim, a veteran of the Black Panther Party in New Orleans, for decades an organizer of public housing tenants both there and in San Francisco and a recent Green Party candidate for New Orleans City Council, lives in the Algiers neighborhood, the only part of New Orleans that is not flooded. They have no power, but the water is still good and the phones work. Their neighborhood could be sheltering and feeding at least 40,000 refugees, he says, but they are allowed to help no one. What he describes is nothing less than deliberate genocide against Black and poor people.] --- New Orleans, Sept. 1, 2005 -- It's criminal. From what you're hearing, the people trapped in New Orleans are nothing but looters. We're told we should be more "neighborly." But nobody talked about being neighborly until after the people who could afford to leave -- left. http://www.zmag.org/content/print_article.cfm?itemID=8650§ionID=72 === Canadians beat U.S. Army to New Orleans suburb: A Canadian search-and-rescue team reached a flooded New Orleans suburb to help save trapped residents five days before the U.S. military, a Louisiana state senator said on Wednesday. http://snipurl.com/hjau === Cost to US economy could be ten times greater than 9/11 : Hurricane Katrina will be by far the costliest disaster in United States history, requiring $150bn (£81bn) to $200bn in relief, clean-up and reconstruction spending by the federal government, and causing the short-term loss of some 400,000 jobs. http://snipurl.com/hjb3 === The Israeli government and military receive $15,139,178* from the U.S. every day Posted Sep 8, 2005 09:12 AM PST - Category: ISRAEL US Tax dollars were used to build a wall for Israel, but not for New Orleans. http://www.ifamericansknew.org/stats/usaid.html === Theft under cover of ideology On page 220 of the latest State Comptroller's Report, in the chapter on "Managing property of absentee Palestinians," beneath the measured wording favored by comptrollers, there is, so those in the know claim, the tip of a scandalous iceberg, which lies hidden beneath a thick layer of ideology. Capital and the government of occupation have joined forces in a criminal-political case. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/objects/pages/PrintArticleEn.jhtml?itemNo=621413 === -muslim voice- ___________________________________ BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
