Guns, Butter, and Led Zepplin

Several millitia groups I know of are considering a bold move... Going to NO and enforcing the constitutional right to bear arms in the form of an armed uprising. I doubt it would actually happen, but it would be most interesting if it did.

Doc, if you know of it, that means their Operational Security is already breached, such a move done as anything other than a surprise would be fairly easily checked. Now, getting news coverage of the checking action might be political dynamite. <_<

And if such an uprising really did take place, rather than talk, I do believe I would involve my self in it. This is my home.

South Carolina, got it. :blink:

What is going on in NO is WRONG. And something should be done about it.

My sympaties are with you, my gut feel that now is time for armed insurrection? No.

These are legal firearms. These are registered firearms. These people are being stripped of their right to bear arms, defend their own property, and protect their own better interests.

Yep.

Families... CHILDREN hunting for food and water, with orders like "kill those n****rs." This was taking place before established relief networks were set up.

Hmmm. Appreciate, please, my skepticism on this charge?

The Red Cross has been expressly forbidden from going in to New Orleans.

Doc, they are already there. What am I missing here?

And news reporters are forbidden from accessing certain parts of the city.

Last I heard, and this is by no means definitive, the body collection effort has been designated "no reporters" to prevent the first time someone sees their dearly departed loved on being pulled, bloated and disgusting, from under a pile of wreckage on TV. You know the ^%!!@ media has not taste . . . no couth. I may me in error, however.

They are already covering up something... Lots of things. The murders and killings and corpses that died not by water but by bullets.

The persons with an agenda for that cover up would be

NO mayor
NO police chief
LA governor

I heard over the scanners that there were orders to shoot on sight anybody affiliated with Red Cross.

Doc, my credulity is being stretcd. I know a little more about Rules of Engagement than the average bear.

"The state Homeland Security Department had requested--and continues to request--that the American Red Cross not come back into New Orleans following the hurricane. Our presence would keep people from evacuating and encourage others to come into the city."

That sort of makes sense . . . but it also doesn't.

Word is coming out that they want people to leave so they can institute the eminant domain seizures. hen they begin the cleanup, they can just bulldoze freely with nobody making any fuss. f people are their, people can resist the "clean up efforts." People can defend their homes, their livelyhoods, their businesses.

Plausible. The ACLU needs to get out of their air conditioned offices and get their asses down to NO. Odds of those moral cowards doing that? Low.

Think of all those businesses. All those McDonalds and Burgerkings and gas stations. All those malls, stores, and commercial developments. All of those will have to be rebuilt. And all those holdouts that have homes, or their own private businesses, in prime locations, what do you think is going to happen to them? All those Walmarts wanting prime locations that had to make due all these years with what ever locations they could secure... There is going to be a massive real estate boom in NO.

Since impoverished folk rarely own their own homes, perhaps the landlords will welcome getting rid of the properties . . . which leaves how many tens of thousands completely ska-rooed? Hmmmmmmmm. That smells to high heaven.

This is going to be the worst case of land grabbing and all out theft this nation has ever seen. Word has it that it that these private "security companies" mercenaries are going in to NO and setting fire to various establishments in certain locations to simply remove them. The private "security companies" are allowed to keep their weapons. A lot of these private "security companies" arm their security with fully automatic M16s and all sorts of high grade military equipment.

OK, rumor, but not beyond comprehension for a locale as filthy in graft and corruption as New Orleans.

Some of the militia groups in NO that hunkered down and lasted through the storm are reporting that great efforts are being taken to completely destroy the city's records.

OK, how do they collect this information? Think on that, for a moment.

.. Reports of fires and destructions of computer data centers, paperwork, deeds, as well as the blueprints for the city it self, all of the underground conduits, sewers, pumpworks, phone, electrical, etc. If all these things are destroyed, some are guessing about these actions, then everything will have to be destroyed so they can rebuild the infrastructure. Giving them a lot more reason to simply seize everything and take it away from private citizens.

Plausible.

The news is being heavily censored. There is so much they are not reporting. Reporters in NO are being beaten up, and having their cameras taken away. Film is being destroyed. Several reporters have gone missing.

That comes with the badge out of trying to make your name at a disaster. Plenty of media folk have made this tragedy their payday, making money out of human misery. Looks like the price is being exacted, if what you report is true.

There is risk, there is no entitlement.

This is madness.

True enough.
