Katrina Conspiracy Theorists Ask if Levees Were Sabotaged By White Cops
Not satisfied with the “President doesn’t like minorities” theory, race card conspiracy theorists are moving it up a notch from the merely surreal into the absolutely bizarre. From BlackAmericaWeb.com we read:
Are we sure the levee that broke and caused New Orleans to flood was breached as the result of a natural disaster?Was that storm — which just blew the shingles off the roof of one house — strong enough to break a levee?
It occurred to me that folks [Gretna Police Department Officers] who think that way certainly wouldn’t have a problem with sabotaging one of the levees surrounding New Orleans if they could be assured many residents would drown.
There are no doubt experts on levees — and what causes them to break — all over the world. I say black folks here in the United States should hire some. When we’re making donations for Katrina’s victims, we should kick in a little extra to pay the experts on our own “Why’d The Levee Break?” commission.
There should be at least five independent teams of experts, one not from the United States.
Wow, these are good a questions. Well, not really–they are moronic and I had to double check that I hadn’t stumbled upon a parody site by mistake. I wonder if they are supporting OJ’s search for the “real killer” too? Did NASA’s faking of the Apollo missions have anything to do with this? How about Jimmy Hoffa?
I normally enjoy a good conspiracy theory but this one seems exploitative to the folks either dumb or desperate enough to even entertain it. Even worse, the above questions weren’t posed by some crackpot blogger, they are actually from a column by Gregory Kane who’s bio states is an award-winning columnist for the Baltimore Sun. Perhaps these theories are being thrown out to mask the more relevant questions that are being asked such as what happened to the couple of hundred NOPD that just walked off their posts at the height of the crisis?

Please keep an open mind on the cause of the levee failure. I do not want to believe that we blew the levee in the 9th Ward to save the French Quarter.
I heard about the levee being blown via email on 9/11/05. I searched for information. The only information on this topic was found on blogs. Then I finally found this article and recording.
In the past few days, the rumor has come again. I just want the truth.

New Orleans, LA — Divers inspecting the ruptured levee walls surrounding New Orleans found something that piqued their interest: Burn marks on underwater debris chunks from the broken levee wall!
One diver, a member of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, saw the burn marks and knew immediately what caused them. When he surfaced and showed the evidence to his superior, the on-site Coordinator for FEMA stepped-in and said “You are not here to conduct an investigation as to why this rupture occurred, but only to determine how best to close it.” The FEMA coordinator then threw the evidence back into the water and said “You will tell no one about this.”
At that point, the diver went back down to do more inspection of the levee. On the second dive, he secreted a small chunk of the debris inside his wet suit and later arranged for it to be sent to trusted military friends at a The U.S. Army Forensic Laboratory at Fort Gillem, Georgia for testing.
According to well placed sources, a military forensic specialist determined the burn marks on the cement chunks did, in fact, come from high explosives. The source, speaking on condition of anonymity said “We found traces of boron-enhanced fluoronitramino explosives as well as PBXN-111 embedded in the debris. This would indicate at least two separate types of explosive devices.”
The levee ruptures in New Orleans did not take place during Hurricane Katrina, but rather a day after the hurricane struck. Several residents of New Orleans and many Emergency Workers reported hearing what sounded like large, muffled explosions from the area of the levee, but those were initially discounted as gas explosions from homes with leaking gas lines.
If these allegations prove true, the ruptured levee which flooded New Orleans was a deliberate act of mass destruction perpetrated by someone with access to military-grade UNDERWATER high explosives.
More details as they become available . . . . .

“If these allegations prove true…”
You’re joking right? Everyone knows it is Dick Cheney’s shadow government in cahoots with the Tri-Lateral Commision that did it.
