New Information On Sniper Incident Betrays More Evidence Of Federal New Orleans SabotageBlack kids caught up in gunfire being shot at by police for no reason

Doubts Now Surround Account of Snipers Amid New Orleans Chaos
Even in the desperate days after Hurricane Katrina, the news flash seemed particularly sensational: Police had caught eight snipers on a bridge shooting at relief contractors. In the gun battle that followed, officers shot to death five or six of the marauders.
But nearly three months later — and after repeated revisions of the official account of the incident and a lowering of the death toll to two — authorities said they were still trying to reconstruct what happened Sept. 4 on the Danziger Bridge. And on the city's east side, where the shootings occurred, two families that suffered casualties are preparing to come forward with stories radically different from those told by police.
A teenager critically wounded that day, speaking about the incident for the first time, said in an interview that police shot him for no reason, delivering a final bullet at point-blank range with what he thought was an assault rifle. Members of another family said one of those killed was mentally disabled, a childlike innocent who made a rare foray from home in a desperate effort to find relief from the flood.
Michael Rivero of What Really Happened.com comments,
At the time I observed that there appeared to be an effort to kick up a race riot in New Orleans, in order to destroy sympathy for the black victims of the flooding as a means to deflect criticism of Bush for diverting flood control and disaster relief funds to his illegal war in Iraq.
While this remains a possibility, it has to also be emphasized that the first Associated Press reports about this incident stated that the US Defense Department relief contractors on their way to repair levies were in fact shot at by New Orleans police and at least five were killed.
FLASHBACK: Five dead 'were army workers'
At least five people shot dead by police as they walked across a New Orleans bridge yesterday were contractors working for the US Defence department, according to a report by The Associated Press.
A spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers said the victims were contractors on their way to repair a canal, the new agency said, quoting a defence Department spokesman.
The story was then changed to make it appear as if the police were protecting the contractors from civilian snipers, and the deaths were not mentioned.
The black kids shot at by police for no reason quoted in the LA Times piece were probably caught up in the melee, in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Why would New Orleans police be ordered to shoot and kill Defense Department contractors who were trying to repair canal walls?
New Orleans was a giant benchmark for how all natural disasters will be dealt with in future.
FEMA and the federal government deliberately sabotaged relief efforts in order to deepen the crisis, including blocking water and fuel supplies.
FEMA cut communication lines in one parish, causing Sheriff Harry Lee to reconnect the lines and place armed guards around them to thwart FEMA.
The federal government deliberately hampered relief and recovery efforts in order to provide the justification for Americans to accept gun confiscation and foreign troops on US soil.
Federal agents went door to door in middle class neighborhoods completely undamaged by the floods and demanded residents hand over their legally owned firearms.
Although court cases after the fact were won by second amendment groups, the mass confiscations conditioned many Americans to associate 'helpful relief efforts' with total federal disarmament of the American people.
In addition, convoys of Mexican troops, some armed, entered the US for the first time since 1846.
Again, this conditioned Americans into thinking that foreign troops can be equated with dealing with crises and that their presence is acceptable.
Subsequent statements by President Bush only made it more clear that federal government was determined to abolish Posse Comitatus and impose martial law during times of natural disaster.
The relief contractors on the Danziger Bridge were there to fix flood defenses that many suggest were blown by the government in the first place.
Their efforts would have scuppered the federal government's plan to keep New Orleans in a state of panic and disorder, therefore the most likely explanation is that they paid for their good intentions with their lives.

Fletcher appoints indicted aide
Acting transportation secretary given permanent post
By John Cheves
HERALD-LEADER STAFF WRITER

Gov. Ernie Fletcher yesterday named the twice-indicted Bill Nighbert his secretary of transportation.
Nighbert, who has been acting secretary since March, is charged with retaliating against a female employee in the Transportation Cabinet who reported state hiring violations. The employee, Missy McCray, said this summer that Nighbert stopped a bonus for her and told her that, if he were younger, he would have punched her in the mouth.
The charge of violating the state's Whistleblower Act, pending in Franklin District Court, could bring one year in jail. The grand jury indicted him Sept. 20, weeks after Fletcher pardoned Nighbert and eight other aides who were charged for their roles in an alleged hiring scheme intended to pack the state payroll with politically connected Republicans.
The Transportation Cabinet has been the chief source of complaints about hiring that led to an investigation by Attorney General Greg Stumbo. While defending his administration overall, Fletcher in September fired nine aides for 'mistakes,' including several high-ranking transportation managers. Fletcher has not said whether he will issue a second pardon for Nighbert's latest indictment.
Yesterday, in a prepared statement, Fletcher praised Nighbert for sharing his vision for Kentucky.
'Bill Nighbert has shown exemplary leadership and management skills,' Fletcher said. 'His accomplishments in the time he has been acting secretary have served as assets to the commonwealth.'
In an interview, Nighbert denied the allegations in both indictments, calling Stumbo 'ethically ba"

Interesting Discrepency with Passenger Phone Calls and AA versus United Flights
In a previous post, I discussed differences between the AA and UA hijacked planes on 9/11.A key point is that the two AA flights were not listed in the BTS database as taking off whereas the UA flights were.I just realized something interesting related to this.For the two AA flights (11 and 77), there was only ONE phone call from a passenger-- the famous Barbara Olson call from flight 77. This call is actually quite suspicious, and many people have wondered about its veracity.More importantly though, for the two UA flights (175 and 93), multiple passengers made calls from each flight. Why such a discrepency?One interesting possibility is that flights 11 and 77 never really took off with passengers, and this is why they weren't listed in the BTS database and why there so few calls.Anyway you look at it, the lack of passenger phone calls from the AA planes is very striking. Note, flight 11 did have two prominent phone calls from flight attendants Ong and Sweeney. But they made little reference to the passengers, and no screams were heard in the background.By the way, several months back, I analyzed one of the passenger phone calls from flight 175, from Peter Hanson. My thinking is this phone call is highly suspicious in its own right.

George Washington's Blog: Interview with Scott Forbes

George Washington's Blog: Interview with Scott Forbes


Interview with Scott Forbes
Scott Forbes, who worked in the South Tower of the world trade center, witnessed a power-down of the tower in the weekend before 9/11.I spoke with Scott Forbes by telephone for around a half hour in late 2004. I also arranged a video interview. However, due to delays by a third person in releasing that video, Scott and I agreed to post a written interview now to fill in some of the details of Scott's experience. GENERAL BACKGROUNDGW: In 2001, you were working as an information technology specialist for Fiduciary Trust. Were you the main IT person for Fiduciary Trust, or were you an assistant IT person?SF: I worked within an IT department of around 100 as a senior DBA [database administrator] and team leader.GW: Fiduciary Trust had floors 90 and 94-97 of the South Tower at that time. Did you work on a specific floor, or did your duties normally keep you roaming on several floors?SF: I and my technology colleagues worked on the 97th floor ... in the course of the day we would have meetings or give support on other floors but most our time would have been spent on the 97th floor.THE WEEKEND OF SEPTEMBER 8TH AND 9THGW: You've previously stated that on the weekend of September 8 and 9, 2001, there was a "power down" condition in world trade center Tower 2, the South Tower, and that this power down condition meant there was no electrical supply for approximately 36 hours from floor 50 up. Do you know what time the power-down started?SF: All systems were shutdown on Saturday morning and the power down condition was in effect from approximately 12 noon on Saturday September 8, 2001.GW: When did it end?SF: Approximately 2PM on Sunday 9/9.GW: How do you know that there was no electricity from floor 50 up, if Fiduciary Trust was on much higher floors -- starting at the 90th floor?SF: I can't absolutely verify that there was no power on lower floors ... all I can validate is that we were informed of the power down condition, that we had to take down all systems and then the following day had to bring back up all systems ...GW: You've previously stated that you were aware of the power down since you worked in the IT department and had to work with many others that weekend to ensure that all systems were cleanly shutdown beforehand ... and then brought back up afterwards. How many other Fiduciary Trust folks were you working with? Can any of them verify your story?SF: Many, many people worked on the power down, both from the IT department and from the business, revalidating systems when they were available again. Other people can validate my information. Some people do not remember the circumstances, some people will not revisit that time ... but others acknowledge the power down freely and can validate my information.GW: You said the reason given by the World Trade Center or Port Authority for the power down was that cabling in the tower was being upgraded. Do you know what parts of the building or how extensive the area would have been for upgrading cabling? In other words, would the area being worked on have been near the outer walls of the tower? Near the core? In the middle?SF: I have no knowledge about this and can't comment ...GW: You also stated that, without power, there were no security cameras. How do you know that? Could there have been backup generators which powered the security cameras?SF: Within my company security cameras were monitored and videos retained for reference. They were powered from the usual power supplies so they would ave been out of action like all other electrical appliances.GW: You also stated that, without power, there were security locks on doors. Are you just referring to outside doors, or also office doors? Were the locks electrical or key? If electrical, were they battery-operated?SF: I was referring to the secure doors accessing my companies floors (and other companies). I do not believe there were any battery operated doors.GW: You also stated there were many, many 'engineers' coming in and out of the tower. Did you see any of these folks yourself?SF: Yes. By “engineers” I mean there were workmen on site, in overalls.GW: Did these folks look "middle eastern"?SF: No, not particularly, I mean I don't recall registering that the guys were of one racial group or another.GW: Did you recognize any of them from previous "work" in the tower?SF: No.THE MORNING OF 9/11GW: You were home on the shore of Jersey City on the morning of 9/11, and -- according to what you have said previously -- you were "convinced immediately that something was happening related to the weekend work". Why did you think that?SF: When the South Tower collapsed, like a pillar of sand, it seemed unreal and inconceivable and I immediately thought something weird was going on. I became more suspicious several months later when the power down condition was never acknowledged and in some instances was denied by authorities.THE 9/11 COMMISSIONGW: Finally, you've stated that you gave your information to the 9/11 Commission, but it took no interest. How did you get the info to the Commission (phone, email, letter?)SF: I contacted the commission through their website and by mail. But I was never acknowledged nor contacted.GW: Did the Commission ever follow up with you?SF: NoGW: Anything else you wish to tell us?SF: I have another piece of interesting information ... after 9/11 my company, along with others, was in disaster recovery mode at a location in New Jersey. At that site were literally hundreds and hundreds of eye witnesses to the events of 9/11. As a British National I was contacted by Scotland Yard in London to interview me on the events ... but I've often wondered why us authorities, like the New York police or FBI, did not interview all those witnesses available altogether in New Jersey. It seems like incompetence to me at best ... negligence at worst.Postscript: Scott did not wish to speak with me concerning reports of explosions above the impact zone in the tower, perhaps because of privacy concerns for the family members of those who died in the tower. Scott told me that he was recently interviewed for a Dutch TV Documentary. So stay tuned: 2 videos of Scott should be coming out soon. .

Cool interview. Thanks.I was never sure what to make of this guy's story. But he seems real enough, and assuming it's true, it's blockbuster information.

The Strange Death of the Woman Who Filed a Rape Lawsuit Against Bush

bushrape

Early one Saturday afternoon in July 2003, I made a simple phone call to Margie Schoedinger, a Texas woman who filed a rape lawsuit against George W. Bush in December 2002. I expected to leave a message on a machine, so I was caught a little offguard when Schoedinger answered.
