If the Cheney Administration profits from rebuilding disasters

[shance]

does it not make sense Cheney and Company would be dependent on such disasters to occur in order to continue to build their profit margin.

Would it not then make sense that they would benefit from such implementation of "natural" disasters and/or terrorist attacks in order to 'see them through' and thus coincidentally gain the contract for restructure and rebuild.

In other words, its quite a system, create a disaster, make profits and then rebuild and make profits, create disaster (make profits) and rebuild and make profits. Its quite a deal here.


It appears we are being threatened by some in our own government - that cities are being destroyed, other countries are being destroyed, thousands of people and animals being destroyed while certain individuals garner more power and profits while innocent people and beautiful countries and cities are destroyed.

2. Seems more intentional than that. Everything seems so planned

Even if they weren't there for the survivors, it seemed intentional.

They seemed to be deliberately stalling. No "incompetence" about it.

5. I happen to agree with you. The word genocide pops into my mind.

11. um that's a really ugly word and yet it begs to be spoken n/t

and financial benefit.

4. On KO tonight; perhaps not negligence, but a strategy?

I want to know when enough money is enough.

6. Well yes, that's what war mongering capitalists thrive on, they just

...need to make sure that they are in charge of all this controlled chaos. The fly in ointment will happen when American exposes it's week under-belly and other opportunistic states join in on the feeding frenzy.

So I visualize some Prescott Bush types saddling up to the money trough and start furnacing India's militarization, China's Russia's, get a few more big players in the mix....then sit back and bring in trillions in war generated profits while the ignorant masses blow each other to pieces on yet scores of new and exotic battle fields.

The stench of death will be lifted up by the winds and spread around the entire earth for all to smell, except those who are behind it all. They will be in their air conditioned, atmospheric ionized business towers and odor sanitized homes.

8. I've had not too much trouble with most of the common forum acronyms...

...but I still haven't been able to translate "LIHOP".

Help, anyone?

9. Let It Happen On Purpose

I think this is right....someone please correct if I'm wrong...

MIHOP

Make It Happen On Purpose

[Dunvegan]

12. Thank you...I appreciate it...

That was driving me nutz...and thanks for the MIHOP translation, also.

BTW...I did a Google search on LIHOP and finally found it in an article pointed to by "What Really Happened" and published at the "Scoop" site regarding 911.

A useful acronym in these times that try the tin-foil on my tricorn.

10. Yup pretty much right

1) sell WMD to 3rd world countries (e.g. Iran)
2) Invade Iran
3) Cleanup Iran.

14. How about invade New Orleans, then clean up New Orleans?

It's happening here as well now.

What are we going to do about it?

[phylny]

13. I think that any company doing rebuilding work in the

hurricane-affected areas should be required to hire local people to do the work, AND give a good percentage of their profits to a fund for the relocation of the people and restoration of the area.

Yarite, like THAT'S going to happen. But it SHOULD.

[shance]

15. Absolutely. Im also wondering how 'legal' the privatization is

and looting with regards to this catastrophe.

I think people of NO need to be looking into the intentional breaking of the levees, that may prove much of this catastrophe was indeed intentional and perhaps in some way premeditated.

There has to be some legal precedent to prevent the carpetbagging of New Orleans.
