Judge gives go-ahead to MRGO suit - NOLA.com
He clears way to hear case against corps

A federal court judge in New Orleans cleared the way Friday for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to face trial next month in a lawsuit that claims the agency's failure to heed environmental laws in building and maintaining the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet caused environmental damage that led to massive flooding in New Orleans and St. Bernard Parish during Hurricane Katrina.
The case, which Judge Stanwood Duval is scheduled to hear without a jury starting April 20, was filed by WDSU-TV news anchorman Norman Robinson and five other plaintiffs whose homes or businesses in eastern New Orleans, the Lower 9th Ward and St. Bernard Parish were swamped during the August 2005 storm .
"We are pleased to have overcome this final hurdle to securing the first trial for Katrina victims and to holding the Army Corps accountable," said Los Angeles lawyer Pierce O'Donnell, the plaintiffs' lead trial counsel in the nearly three-year-old case. "Battling the federal government with its own army of lawyers and unlimited resources has been a daunting ordeal."
______SNIP_____
Jonathan Andry, one of several attorneys for the plaintiffs, said the essence of their case is, "Once the corps decided to build the MRGO, it was under an obligation, just as any private citizen, to maintain the MRGO in such a way as not to injure others and have it pose a threat to human health or the environment."
He said that if the plaintiffs prevail at trial and on appeal, the stage would be set for thousands of additional Katrina flood victims in eastern New Orleans, the Lower 9th Ward and St. Bernard to seek compensation from the federal government.
New Orleans lawyer Joseph Bruno, the plaintiffs' court-appointed liaison counsel, said the upcoming trial will get down to Duval's deciding whether the flooding that prompted the case was caused by what the corps failed to do.
O'Donnell signaled Friday, as he did when the case was filed nearly three years ago, that the plaintiffs' side will seek help in Washington, D.C., for all Katrina flooding victims if they win the case.
"Before and after his election, President Obama promised that he would make rebuilding New Orleans a top priority," O'Donnell said. "We are looking to the White House for leadership in expeditiously resolving the claims of Katrina victims in a fair and equitable manner. The continued stonewalling of Katrina victims is a national disgrace."

This is the FIRST lawsuit allowed, naming the Army Corps of Engineers as Defendant.
They are being sued for destroying the wetlands, which in turn ALLOWED the huge tidal swelling, which in turn caused the levees to breach. The suit names 5 New Orleans plaintiffs who sufferred great loss. This paves the way for a class action and reparitions for the government culpability with at least negligent homicide. I have seen evidence of malice aforethought. Manslaughter, eugenics and genocide come to mind. (See Edwin Blacks book in the margin links list and Amazon ad)

"The Shock Doctrine: An Excerpt From the Introduction
I met Jamar Perry in September 2005, at the big Red Cross shelter in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Dinner was being doled out by grinning young Scientologists, and he was standing in line. I had just been busted for talking to evacuees without a media escort and was now doing my best to blend in, a white Canadian in a sea of African- American southerners. I dodged into the food line behind Perry and asked him to talk to me as if we were old friends, which he kindly did.
Born and raised in New Orleans, he'd been out of the flooded city for a week. He and his family had waited forever for the evacuation buses; when they didn't arrive, they had walked out in the baking sun. Finally they ended up here, a sprawling convention centre now jammed with 2,000 cots and a mess of angry, exhausted people being patrolled by edgy National Guard soldiers just back from Iraq.
The news racing around the shelter that day was that the Republican Congressman Richard Baker had told a group of lobbyists, "We finally cleaned up public housing in New Orleans. We couldn't do it, but God did." Joseph Canizaro, one of New Orleans' wealthiest developers, had just expressed a similar sentiment: "I think we have a clean sheet to start again. And with that clean sheet we have some very big opportunities." All that week Baton Rouge had been crawling with corporate lobbyists helping to lock in those big opportunities: lower taxes, fewer regulations, cheaper workers and a "smaller, safer city" - which in practice meant plans to level the public housing projects. Hearing all the talk of "fresh starts" and "clean sheets", you could almost forget the toxic stew of rubble, chemical outflows and human remains just a few miles down the highway.
Over at the shelter, Jamar could think of nothing else. "I really don't see it as cleaning up the city. What I see is that a lot of people got killed uptown. People who shouldn't have died."
He was speaking quietly, but an older man in line in front of us overheard and whipped around. "What is wrong with these people in Baton Rouge? This isn't an opportunity. It's a goddamned tragedy. Are they blind?" A mother with two kids chimed in. "No, they're not blind, they're evil. They see just fine."
One of those who saw opportunity in the floodwaters of New Orleans was the late Milton Friedman, grand guru of unfettered capitalism and credited with writing the rulebook for the contemporary, hyper-mobile global economy. Ninety-three years old and in failing health, "Uncle Miltie", as he was known to his followers, found the strength to write an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal three months after the levees broke. "Most New Orleans schools are in ruins," Friedman observed, "as are the homes of the children who have attended them. The children are now scattered all over the country. This is a tragedy. It is also an opportunity."
Friedman's radical idea was that instead of spending a portion of the billions of dollars in reconstruction money on rebuilding and improving New Orleans' existing public school system, the government should provide families with vouchers, which they could spend at private institutions.
In sharp contrast to the glacial pace with which the levees were repaired and the electricity grid brought back online, the auctioning-off of New Orleans' school system took place with military speed and precision. Within 19 months, with most of the city's poor residents still in exile, New Orleans' public school system had been almost completely replaced by privately run charter schools."

Report: Armed Mexican Troops Invade US:
"Report: Armed Mexican Troops Invade US
Eyewitnesses: Under cover of aid, combat ready soldiers roll into Texas, Congressman Ron Paul says Mexican troops in US period is 'illegal, unconstitutional'
Alex Jones & Paul Joseph Watson September 8 2005
Two separate credible sources known to Alex Jones have reported that armed combat ready Mexican troops have entered Texas.
The Associated Press reported today that unarmed Mexican troops were being escorted by the US army to help relief efforts for hurricane Katrina.
However, the report was only specific to one convoy. The convoys reported to Alex Jones are said to be fully armed with Heckler & Koch German assault rifles.
The first sighting occurred at 12:30 on Highway 183 traveling towards Austin. The eyewitness described at least ten vehicles, four jeeps (other witnesses described them as Humvees) and six combat trucks brimming with armed Mexican troops wearing body armor, helmets and rifles. The troops riding in the jeeps were wearing holstered hand guns.
The vehicles were not being escorted by the US army or any other government vehicles and the vehicles were festooned with insignia reading 'Mexico MP's' and the Mexican flag.
The second sighting of a similar nature occurred north of Austin on I35 near Georgetown Texas.
Prison Planet contacted Congressman Ron Paul's office whose district is in Texas and the Congressman's response was, 'any Mexican troops here period is illegal and unconstitutional.'
Another source known to Alex Jones called the Austin Police Department and they said that they knew about the armed troops. The police asked if the troops had threatened the caller. The caller said they threaten the sovereignty of the country and the police laughed and hung up."

Prisoners of Katrina
A year after Hurricane Katrina, This World finds out what happened inside Orleans Parish Prison as panicked inmates, left without food or water, rioted and broke out.
"What about the prisoners in the jail?" the sheriff had been asked as city leaders ordered the people of New Orleans to flee the hurricane heading their way in August 2005.
"The prisoners will stay where they belong," he decided.
It was a decision he would later regret.
In the chaotic days that followed Hurricane Katrina, the image of thousands of orange-clad prisoners crouching on a broken bridge - held at gunpoint by a few overstretched guards - was an unforgettable image.
This is the untold story of almost 7,000 inmates - some murderers and rapists, but others never even charged - who found themselves trapped in the city jail as it flooded.
Olenka Frenkiel reports on a justice system already near to collapse, and on its final tipping point: Katrina.

Orleans Parish is excluded.
That, my friends, is wreckless negligent homicide. If not outright premeditated mass murder. Genocidal maniacs with class and ethnic motives. The serial pattern began with Iraq.
UPDATE:
Using "The Wayback Machine" I found an archived webpage of the White House Official Declaration, LINK.
Here is a thumbnail of a screenshot of that

Thats nice. 75% federal funding. TOO BAD New Orleans is excluded! (accidentally on purpose)
Welcome!
Natural disaster?
Is it natural to nail the door of a burning house shut when the family is still inside?
Natural to block an ambulance from arriving at a tragedy?
No?
Well neither is it 'natural' to NOT repair damaged levees (government owned and maintained) when well over 150,000 citizens are in danger.
There are many anomalies revealed since the storm 'Katrina' made landfall in late August of 2005.
I will use this blog to lay out articles in one place for all to see.
I am currently writing an essay on this subject and have run into SERIOUS HURDLES. The official White House website HAS BEEN SCRUBBED!!! With the changing of the guard (to Barack Obama) came a changing of viewable records. For instance; the presidents declaration of emergency (which conveniently omitted New Orleans, yet included parishes that were not in danger; but had voted for him)
I will post this issue first because it is one of the most glaring smoking guns left at the scene of the crime. They have tried to bury the smoking gun by scrubbing the WH website, but I had posted this info in a forum and still have the 'ghost' web address that brings up a blank WH page for the briefing room.
