In America her story makes it ever worse to believe such events could happen. This video will and should being you to tears... <br><br><br><br><br>A singer, Neville is a member of one of New Orleans' great musical families. Her father, Charles Neville, performs with uncles Aaron, Art and Cyril in the Neville Brothers band. She estimates the musicians in her family number well over 100. In New Orleans, she said, every neighborhood and every family has musicians.<br><br>... Just back from a visit to Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center on Saturday afternoon, Neville was cut, bruised and a little despondent. Among the horrible things she'd seen last week, she said, was the rape of old women, girls and boys.<br><br>"Some people hate themselves, so they hate everybody else. Those people were not true New Orleanians," she said.<br><br>But Neville saw heroes, too. "There are many, many heroes that have come out this. People talking about what I did. I didn't do nothing. Everybody did something."<br><br>Neville said that she, too, was raped during those chaotic days. "What he took from me was nothing, because he can't take my spirit, he can't take my soul.

What chilled me the most was hearing Charmaine say these groups came into the neighborhood - people she did not know. And they were the ones that raped and killed. <br><br>Does that make anyone wonder?<br><br>I can tell you from the perspective of someone who is trained in disaster response - people who are in the throes of a disaster DO NOT DO THIS. When people are in survival mode they do not resort to random acts of violence. They may kill someone for food - for survival. But I have never heard of this kind of behavior in the midst of a disaster. I do not believe the perpetrators of these crimes were the people who had just survived a hurricane and saw everything they had swept away - with the waters rising and dead bodies floating all around them. People do become less willing to help others and focus on their own survival in ways that is sometimes difficult to understand. But raping and killing? No. <p></p><i></i>

Wonder whether the perpetrators were wearing uniforms and were well fed. It just doesn't seem to fit that the perps were survivors. They'd be too busy trying to survive. <p></p><i></i>

I had automatically assumed from the beginning that squads of outsiders would descend on Louisiana and Mississippi and cart off as much plunder as they could. Whether or not the delays in rescue efforts were deliberate, there is added meaning to Charmaine Neville's words "I am New Orleans," because New Orleans has been raped, violated, and most probably is itself a "fatality." <p></p><i></i>

He also reported that tomorrow their program 360 will feature an exclusive interview with a doctor (perhaps one of the the many at a convention on Naturopathy that were stranded at a downtown hotel, and who were evicted, unable to arrange transport --)<br>who tried to treat the many injuries and illnesses and suffering of the people stuck at the Convention Center, with nothing but a stethascope and scrounged aspirins, etc. -- who says he say simply incredible things that were profoundly shameful ... <br><br>Could the relatively small number of murderous killers and rapists seemingly from 'someplace else' have been severely mentally-damaged drug-abusers, esp. from methadrine, glue-sniffing and crack?<br><br>Another alternative which seems to be too bizarre to openly suggest (but I will) from a black-ops asymetrical-terrorism parapolitical perspective -- MIGHT some dangerously-demented black-agents have been deliberately inserted to foment hysteria and mass-fear, either as a mind-control semi-controlled experiment, OR to provoke all-out rioting and out-of-control violence among a huge desperate, stranded out-of-contact crowd who endured enormous stress and tension and near-critical deprivation of basic life-systenance aid.<br><br>The conditions at the Convention Center and Superdome were so incredibly horrible they're scarcely imaginable -- and yet they seem to 'fit' a pattern of profound contempt for human life by the nation's elites who have seized primary positions of authority, giving them the opportunity for unprecedented abuse of authority and power.<br><br>I keep thinking something 'else' was supposed to happen at the Convention Center and Superdome, but the Fed's hand was forced to cut-short their experiment in manufacturing horror -- and perhaps an engineered health pandemic, forcing FEMA quarantine? The conditions were sure 'right' for something even worse to happen.<br><br>Almost EVERYTHING about how the Katrina aftermath was 'managed' by our government really bothers me.<br><br>Quote:<br>A reader named Jeannie Dominguez asked me to post this comment, sent via email:<br>I was just listening to our President and I cannot stop crying. Ronald Reagan often said, "The most terrifying words in the English language are: "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you." <br><br>OK, so it's an urban legend folklore. But perhaps it's the most honest thing Ronnie ever said.<br>Starman<br> <p></p><i></i>
