Gus > I'm afraid the abusive rants of angry-white-male(*) Ben Marble don't contribute much to the Katrina debate. You are absolutely obsessed with race. What is it with you? If you think you can upset me with continual racial innuendos you are wrong -- I hate all races and, in case you weren't aware, all religions. And no guilt trip either, just in case you thought of coming at me with that. > do you mean you too don't have a homeowners insurance?? I have a little. But what does a muso cum medic know about insurance anyway? One has to be a businessman or a lawyer to appreciate the finer points of the art of "losing" one's goods when one still has them and then claiming for the loss. No-one actually expects to lose everything. Nevertheless, Dr Marble certainly made a name for himself with his Mr Cheney video. It won't be long before he appears with Larry King and Oprah.

Gus > Ben Marble don't contribute much to the Katrina debate....(2) Debate you want. How does one debate a military take-over of an entire city and subsequent theft of someone else's land -- especially land inhabited by untermenschen? Reminds one of Israel -- except there was no flood there. This is a piece that I'm sure is right up your street. aztlan.net >>... it is very revealing how the federal government is handling the disaster. They want every Black out of New Orleans and those who insist on staying in their homes will be removed by force. The government, through some media, is utilizing scare tactics to cleanse New Orleans of all Blacks. They want no witnesses and this will make the "land grab" a lot easier to undertake. One scare tactic is calling the flood water "a horrid toxic soup of feces a rotting flesh of corpses". The military thugs are now getting tough with Black families that have owned their old but beloved homes for many generations. Mr. Rufus Johnson, a family patriarch who lives in the French Quarter, said in an interview, "The army has given me an ultimatum to leave or suffer the consequences of a forced eviction. I do not understand . My entire family and I survived Katrina and now they want to throw me out of the home we have had for generations". Mr. Johnson lives in a neighborhood where the flood has subsided and his home is not heavily damaged yet FEMA wants him out! The fact that Vice President Dick Cheney is heavily involved in the FEMA operations from behind the scenes is very troublesome. Cheney and his cronies at Halliburton are in line for the lucrative contracts to "reconstruct a New Orleans". Deals are already being made with a Las Vegas business group to construct multi-million dollar casinos in the Big Easy on prime real estate that was owned by Black families. Whites throughout history have been notorious "land grabbers". In the USA they first confiscated land that belonged to American Indians. Most of the Indians ended up in worthless tracts of land called "reservations". The largest "land grab", however, was the theft of Aztlan. This occurred soon after the Mexican-American War. In Alta California , vast "Ranchos" were stolen from the Californios through a variety of scams. A favorite ploy was to impose extremely heavy land taxes on the Mexicans and then foreclosing on the properties. The land was then given or sold at very low prices to the Forty Niners who came in large hordes to Alta California during the so called "Gold Rush" of 1849. << nationmaster.com And if you want the REAL stuff, how's this? halturnershow.com >>EXPLOSIVE RESIDUE FOUND ON FAILED LEVEE DEBRIS! Ruptured New Orleans Levee had help failing By: Hal Turner September 9, 2005 3:36 PM EDT New Orleans, LA -- Divers inspecting the ruptured levee walls surrounding New Orleans found something that piqued their interest: Burn marks on underwater debris chunks from the broken levee wall! One diver, a member of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, saw the burn marks and knew immediately what caused them. He secreted a small chunk of the cement inside his diving suit and later arranged for it to be sent to trusted military friends at a The U.S. Army Forensic Laboratory at Fort Gillem, Georgia for testing. According to well placed sources, a military forensic specialist determined the burn marks on the cement chunks did, in fact, come from high explosives. The source, speaking on condition of anonymity said "We found traces of boron-enhanced fluoronitramino explosives as well as PBXN-111. This would indicate at least two separate types of explosive devices." The levee ruptures in New Orleans did not take place during Hurricane Katrina, but rather a day after the hurricane struck. Several residents of New Orleans and many Emergency Workers reported hearing what sounded like large, muffled explosions from the area of the levee, but those were initially discounted as gas explosions from homes with leaking gas lines. If these allegations prove true, the ruptured levee which flooded New Orleans was a deliberate act of mass destruction perpetrated by someone with access to military-grade UNDERWATER high explosives. << bin Laden, no doubt.

Gus > ... you say you empathize with that Dr Marble --do you mean you too don't have a homeowners insurance??!?(2) As it happens, the homes won't be covered by homeowners insurance if the policy doesn't have a separate clause for flood damage. aolsvc.news.aol.com >>The majority of homes in areas slammed by the hurricane have policies that cover wind and rain damage, but relatively few had extra insurance to cover flooding. Insurers are posturing to limit the amount of damages by saying massive flooding in storm-ravaged New Orleans is a separate event from the hurricane itself. Some carriers have even adopted the phrase "The Great New Orleans Flood" in an effort to make that distinction more tangible. "If there is a question at some point as to whether the industry should be held responsible for flood insurance, that would change the whole mechanism of how insurance works," said Loretta Worters, a vice president with the Insurance Information Institute, a trade organization sponsored by the property & casualty industry. "I understand their plight, and insurers have their adjustors out and see what's going on, but we are compassionate up to the point of the policy," she said, "but, that's where FEMA has to step in." RMS said that $15 billion to $25 billion of its new forecast is insured losses due to flooding. Only about 40 percent of homeowners in Louisiana have insurance protecting property from floods* - most of them because mortgage lenders require such policies for the term of their loans. However, the amount of claims could skyrocket if insurers are forced to treat uninsured flood damage as an offshoot to standard homeowners insurance. That's one reason property and casualty insurers are telling Wall Street damages will be limited, so long as they are restricted to just wind-related claims.<< * that means 60% are stuffed, notwithstanding that they had homeowners insurance. And apparently most of those owned their own homes. Now, while they are sleeping under a bridge somewhere, they can dream the American Dream -- of their home that disappeared down the toilet.
