THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

" One in 10 chance perhaps, but save Chile! ... not concerned with risks involved ... $10,000,000 available, more if necessary ... make the economy scream."-- CIA Director Richard Helms, discussing plan to destabilize government of Chile under democractically-elected President Salvador Allende

 

Hurricane Gustav scaled up on purpose ?

Was hurricane Gustav's scaled up to a catergory 3 hurricane in an attempt to create a big story?

Did the US Government know that it was not reall going to be a category 3 hurricane, but scaled it
up to scare the public?

Was it a political move to wipe talk of the Democratic Convention from the airwaves and media?

Was it designed to show how empathetic the Republicans are to the needs of the people?

overrated

kcimos

there was a story on Yahoo yesterday (i only read the headline and a few words) talking about how all the billions spent recently improving new orleans was proven to be justified / affective by the fact that limited damage occured due to Gustuv. As in "WAY TO GO BUSH ADMIN!!!, just like everything else you do, its all OK"

BS

It's obvious that much is going on behind the scenes. Central Bankers scheming and conniving while burning the midnight oil. Hedge fund Managers on Prozac and sleeping pills, also scheming and conniving. Russia/US standoff in the Georgia Region. Pakistan melting down. US aircraft carriers in and around the Persian Gulf. Israeli proclaiming that Iran cannot have nukes under any circumstances. The Taliban gaining control in Afghanistan. US and Iraq not able to reach terms on oil production and troupe withdrawal, while Iraq makes oil deals with China. And, yes, all those hurricanes out there.

Other than the hurricanes and Palin, the silence concerning a myriad of global crises is deafening.

Not Sure

"Was it designed to show how empathetic the Republicans are to the needs of the people?"

Oh my gawd, they didn't really think anyone would believe that rofl

Maybe the Ron Paul inspired protesters at the convention are out of control and they didn't know how to shut it down in time so they had to make up an excuse to cancel.

I think all of the McCain/Palin Gustav stories are a distraction from their plans to attack Iran soon.

"The years passed, mankind became stupider at a frightening rate. Some had high hopes the genetic engineering would correct this trend in evolution, but sadly the greatest minds and resources were focused on conquering hair loss and prolonging erections."

Having gone through

Having gone through Hurricanes before I have to disagree with this assessment and just consider them lucky that the storm came in from the East and worked its way West!

If the storm would have approached from the south and headed directly North through the Mississippi River it would have backed all the swell straight up and the results would have been far different.

GOP antics

I knew this was all being puffed up when the GOP canceled the first day of their convention even though the storm would never have realistically been a threat to Minneapolis.

Was it to get people to think that government preparedness for this one was waaaaay better?

I think so. Before I saw

I think so. Before I saw this article, I mentioned that to my husband. I had the internet open while watching CNN. One was saying it was downsized to Category 2 while the other (CNN) continued saying Category 3. I am also wondering if there was some nefarious reason why the RNC was canceled or scaled back. Are they trying to distract from something other that is going on? Is the Palin story another distraction from something else going on?
