Conspiracy Theory...

An idea has been gnawing on the corner of my brain for the last couple of days, and I have been debating with myself over whether to post on it, or not.

My last post may have been a little cryptic, and for that I apologize. It was a trial balloon, of sorts. I wanted to find out if anyone else would be disturbed at the idea that someone, who from what I can tell, has no reason to be suspicious of our Government, would distrust our elected officials so much as to state, as fact, that the government only wants to take over with Military Force, and enslave the population.

I guess it didn't bother anyone but me, so I guess that makes me the Kook.

But that's okay. I can live with that. I've been called worse.

You see, it gradually dawned on me over the weekend what was actually attempted by the Louisiana officials when Hurricane Katrina came ashore.

First of all, the Mayor refused to issue a mandatory evacuation order, then the Governor refused Federal help.

Then they emptied the jails.

So now all of the criminals who were jailed in New Orleans were running around in the streets, and there were just enough innocent citizens left behind to provide victims for these criminals.

Then they waited for the President to (illegally) send in federal troops, to restore order.

He didn't.

So the world was treated to a week of News footage of looting, stories of rape and robbery, and gunfire directed at relief workers trying to rescue these poor unfortunate victims from the floodwaters and the criminals, while the Democrats and the Media steadily screamed in the background,
"Why doesn't George Bush DO something??"

Instead of what they really wanted.

What they really wanted was a week of footage of federal troops, under the orders of George W. Bush and Karl Rove, sweeping the streets of New Orleans with their rifles in their hands, gunning down young (mostly) black men whenever and wherever they saw them.

Fortunately, the President did not fall for it. He let the local officials have the chance to straighten out the mess, until they asked him for help, through the proper channels, and when it was legal and apropriate to do so, he then sent in the troops to restore order.

But think for just a moment about the political fallout that would have enveloped him if he HAD fallen for it.

If you think that the news coverage of this tragedy has been overblown now, you haven't seen anything like the images you would have been subjected to if the Media had just ONE video clip of a looter getting shot in the head by a National Guardsman, under the orders of the Bush administration.

It would have been 50 years before another Republican won the White House.

The President would have been impeached, and imprisoned, and would have gone down in history as the Racist Republican Butcher of New Orleans.

But like I said, he didn't fall for it. He outsmarted the opposition again, and therein lies their anger.

Now...
I am not yet to the place in my Kookiness where I would actually believe that elected officials in America would indeed hatch out and enact such a plan, but obviously there are people in our Country who WOULD believe such a thing, just not about Democrats. (See my last post...)

But you have to admit, if such a plan were afoot, it could not have been enacted any more smoothly than the events which took place in New Orleans. The only snag was that the President didn't fall into the trap.

God help us if this is actually what was attempted...


P.S....
By the way, as of about 16:00 today, the official death toll for ALL OF LOUISIANA, not just New Orleans, was 279,000. No wait...27,900? No that's not right either.
2,790? Nope.
It was 279.
That's it.
I am DONE listening to the Main Stream Press. About ANYTHING. EVER AGAIN.
If I pay any attention to them from now on, it will be for the purpose of picking them apart, and making them look foolish.
They are no longer informing. They are pushing an agenda, and selling death, destruction, and hopelessness.
And I have HAD IT with them.
All of them.
