Here's a great tip for all reporters looking for a completely new - and extremely important - angle on the situation in New Orleans. As far as I can tell, no one has yet mentioned the biological research labs located in and around NOLA. For example, in nearby Covington, Tulane University runs the Tulane National Primate Research Center, a cluster of Level-3 biological labs containing around 5,000 monkeys, most of which are housed in outdoor cages. According to an article in Tulane University Magazine, "The primary areas of focus today at the Tulane National Primate Research Center are infectious diseases, including biodefense related work, gene therapy, reproductive biology and neuroscience. The Tulane primate center is playing a key role in the federal strategic plan for biodefense research." [

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' 10-year jobs forecast, the majority of US jobs that will be created in the coming decade will be in domestic services that do not require a college education. This is a strange job outlook for a high tech economy allegedly benefiting from free trade. Domestic services are nontradable. The US economy has not created a net new job in tradable goods and services in the 21st century.

Top U.S. generals openly admit that America's strategic ABM defenses are based on a technology in which other nations are already developing more experts than the United States, which is inherently vulnerable to devastating disruption.
Under Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, the U.S. Armed Forces have moved father than ever before in developing anti-ballistic missile and space-based strategic assets, and trying to integrate combined operations around the globe using state of the art Information Technology

As he stood about 10 feet away from Cheney and his friend and some camera operators from CNN and other media filmed the scene, Marble suddenly yelled, "Go fuck yourself, Mr. Cheney! Go fuck yourself, you asshole!"
Hey, at least Marble was polite. After all, he referred to Cheney as “Mr. Cheney.”

The federal government has been chomping at the bit for decades to disarm the American people, and now an amalgamation of state and local police led by the BATF are having their deepest desire fulfilled in New Orleans.
Major newspapers are reporting that in middle-class neighborhoods undamaged by floodwaters paramilitary police are going door-to-door demanding citizens’ firearms.
The New York Times even admitted that this is so the citizenry cannot resist when they are physically forced to leave their homes

10:57 Raw transcript of comments by NOLA evacuee : "The 17th street levee was bombed by the Army Corps of Engineers to save the more valuable real estate in the city... to keep the French Quarter protected, the ninth ward was sacrificed... people are afraid to speak out... everyone who was near there heard the bombings... they bombed seven times. That’s why they didn’t fix the levees... 20 feet of water. Gators. People dying in water. They let the parishes go, not the city center. Tourist trap was saved over human life. A six year old girl was raped in here.. 9 year old boy killed. A man in the shower beaten. No hot food. No help for elderly."

Although the effort was trumpeted in the media as an example of grassroots ingenuity in the face of disaster, local officials with the Federal Emergency Management Agency have nixed an attempt by Houston activists to set up a low-power radio station at the Astrodome that would have broadcast Hurricane Katrina relief information for evacuees.

So late Wednesday afternoon, the group set out for a bridge called the Crescent City Connection, where they would find the help they so desperately needed. But when they arrived atop the highway, the paramedics said, they were met by more police officers, this time from neighboring Gretna, La., who weren't letting anyone pass.
"If I weren't there, and hadn't witnessed it for myself, I don't think I would have ever believed this," Bradshaw said.
The officers fired warning shots into the air and then leveled their weapons at members of the crowd, Bradshaw said. He approached, hands in the air, displaying his paramedic's badge.
"They told us that there would be no Superdomes in their city,'' the couple wrote. "These were code words that if you are poor and black, you are not crossing the Mississippi River -- and you weren't getting out of New Orleans.''

Yesterday, we received an email from a stranger informing us that the DC District Court had granted the government’s motion to dismiss the RTP lawsuit. Then, with yesterday’s mail, we received a hard copy of the Court’s Opinion & Order, which purportedly were entered on August 31, 2005, eight days before we learned there had been a decision.
Judge Sullivan has ruled that it makes no difference what facts we have that prove that the government is not responding to our four Petitions for Redress of constitutional torts because, he says, the government does not have to listen or respond to Petitions for Redress of Grievances from the People.
We are currently reviewing the Decision with plaintiffs' counsel Mark Lane, who was not available until today.
On Monday we will post our analysis of the decision and a discussion of the full range of civic actions we believe are now necessary, including an appeal to the Court of Appeals.
This afternoon, a Notice of Appeal was mailed to the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, DC.

n contemplating the situation here in America, a U.S. officer in Iraq said, "If anything I'm kind of embarrassed. We're supposed to be telling the Iraqis how to act and this is what's happening at home?" Whereas at first we might have expected the conservatives to realize that the same federal authorities who have bungled so much in New Orleans are probably not apt to bring freedom to Iraq, instead they have only inflated their endorsement of the right and power of the U.S. government to suspend civil liberties for the sake of the common good. In New Orleans, the conservatives have had their chance to see what federal freedom really means, and thus what it likely means when imposed on the rest of the world. And the rightwing sentiment is to bring it on.

Federal Emergency Management Agency chief Michael Brown’s already paper-thin resumé appears to have been padded. Time Magazine looked into the past of the man George W. Bush put in charge of the federal government’s response to disasters natural and man-made, and found less there than meets the eye.
Brown was the college roommate of former Bush campaign director Joe Allbaugh, who hired Brown as FEMA’s chief counsel after Allbaugh replaced highly regarded Clinton appointee James Lee Witt, an experienced emergency management professional who earned high praise from all parties including then-Texas governor Bush, at the top of the agency.

PELOSI: Oh, that's absolutely not true. Mr. McClellan wasn't there, so he couldn't possibly know.
What happened was, I said to the president, Mr. President, we can begin to help these victims of Katrina become whole again. First thing you can do is to replace Michael Brown as the head of FEMA. To which the president said, Why would I do that? And I said, Because of what happened last week and the failure of FEMA to be the real link between the federal government and the people in need in our country, the social compact. To which the president said, What didn't go right last week?
That's what happened in the meeting. I stand by that. If the president thinks everything went right last week, and he wants to keep Michael Brown there, then I think that's going to be a cost
