The funniest sight that I have ever seen in history was when George Bush stood out in front of Jackson Square and gave that errie blue lit Hollywood backdrop speech about fighting racism, rebuilding and Ra-Ra mess and more Ra-Ra mess-over a week later he arrived in N.O. after he was playing air guitar in California while Hurricane Katrina hit and the levee was blown away in the lower ninth ward. He gave this speech when the city was destroyed. Where were the democrats during Hurricane Katrina-they were MIA also. Democrat will feel the pain as a the only Democrat strong hold was allowed to be destroyed,in future elections.
It sounded good at the time having Bush promise to build low income homes on Government owned land (which is pretty much stolen land because the Federal Gov. doesn't pay citizens of Louisiana for anything)-Bush said that accessing the Urban Homeshed Act-there would be housing and people would have a "right of return" but this was an obvious lie! There hasn't been so much as a surveyor contracted to build this housing that G. Bush promised. There have been government workers sent in attempts to stop people from rebuilding on their land but nothing has moved forward regarding the promise that G. Bush made under that Blue stage lighting in Jackson Square.
Don Powell, the appointed head and coordinator of the Gulf Coast Rebuilding efforts has done nothing in regards to repairing the levees in the Lower 9th Ward. They appear to not want to fix this levee to withstand a Hurricane over that of a 2 !!! The Federal Gov. has the technology to repair and upgrade the levees in N.O. to withstand a nuclear attack but they appear to have political motives for not repairing and upgrading the Levee system. The levee board in Louisiana is one of the most corrupt organizations in the state. They have stolen money from my family for generations. They have raped the citizens of Louisiana out of land and profits for decades. I know the politics of corruption that have spread like a virus throughout almost every single organization having to do with the levee system in Louisiana. Don Powell, is on television spinning and lying saying that the levee system is being rebuilt but he is not saying that they are restoring the levee system to pre-Hurricane Katrina conditions and do not plan on upgrading the levee until around the year 2010! Why? I'll tell you why. Bush will be out of office, people will have gotten over the images of our Government letting babies die and the lower ninth ward will become either Government land through Eminent domain or Condos for Hollywood types like Nicolas Cage to put on a cape and pretend to be Elvis like the idiot does in the streets of N.O. already!
I suggest that people write letters because if the lower ninth ward goes-then middle class Creoles will eventually be forced to relocate just to maintain a community or they are going to start relocating former lower ninth-ward and former residence of the housing projects along with residence from other southern states(WASP types) will begin to over flow and over populate into Bywater, Gentilly, St.Bernard Parish and Jefferson Parish(Sheriff Harry Lee will have a heart attack if Ray Nagin pulled that stunt;) -even more than what has already happened in the past hundred years. Creoles have already seen a rapid decline in our quality of life due to the French Quarter and Marigny being over run with commercialism and every lost drug addict and WASP from states like Texas,Alabama and Mississippi and the historic Creole 7th ward is a ghetto war zone! Maybe they want us to build a Creole boat and dock it by the River Walk? (let me stop before they get any ideas)-Historic neighborhoods need to be protected-for all our sakes. New Orleans IS NOT FOR SALE! PEOPLE HAVE REAL LIVES IN NEW ORLEANS-NOT JUST HERE FOR MARDI GRAS AND JAZZ FEST TOURIST!!
