Rather blunt message from a friend working to restore New Orleans:

[Roland99]

Please people

If you know someone or a family that is planning on returning in here, please stop them.

There is no infrastructure here to support sustainable life and there is no gas to get them back out of here when they find out how bad it is here.

Please, please, please, pass the word. Do not come back here until told it is ready.

It is not safe for not only them but they create a further problem for all agencies already stretched to beyond human capacity.

Please, please, please, pass the word. Do not come back here until told it is ready.

Please, please, please, pass the word. Do not come back here until told it is ready.

The work I have been doing here for example is barely enough for Emergency communication and many many gaps.

1. If you are going to HELP:make sure bring enuf for yourself & to leave

Enough food, enough water, enough medical supplies, enough gas to be able to leave or you will become another stranded person dependent upon the system to help you. Get a BIG vehicle, one that will hold enough food/water for you and lots of extra gas because there are gas shortages there, long lines, and the last thing you want or need is to join those in need. Take more than you think you will need for yourself, then see if you have room for more for others.

11. Didn't the post JUST SAY "Do not come"?

It didn't say "Bring lots of stuff", it said "DO NOT COME".

It's not that hard to understand. Regardless of how much stuff you bring, you'll be in the way.

2. Yep..rather blunt and to the point and probably very True.

thanks for posting..

3. the guy who runs jefferson parish

said the same thing last night. there is nothing left-if you drive in there is no gas to get you out and no one to help you ..he went on about the fact that there is nothing left...

4. This madness had to have been planned. Halliburton already has first

bid on the blood profits again. NOLA is RICH, but populated by poor. The B*/Cheney's are well aware of that. 25% of the oil production and a major world port city in war time? Now with martial law imposed because the citizens were starved to death for 5 days? Its not just the fecal material and dead bodies that stench in NO.

5. Not "planned." This is exactly what was anticipated in models.

Cat 3+ hurricane on New Orleans = infrastructure and most buildings destroyed. No help needed from conspiracies.

[WiseButAngrySara]

9. Sorry, when there are too many 'coincidences' passed off as mere 'chance'

then they are no longer coincidences. They knew a cat 3 minimum storm was coming anyway by as early as Friday. How is it that Taiwan successfully evacuated hundreds of thousands just recently during a typhoon? It was intentional on at least one level. Probably many more...

[Zynx]

10. New Orleans also evacuated 100's of thousands. The problem was afterwards

That's where the Feds screwed up, because all scenarios had at least 100,000 people still in New Orleans even in the best circumstances. THAT'S why their failure to move faster is inexcusable.

My point was that no added destruction to the city was needed by some conspiracy, as everyone knew it was going to be flattened and unlivable anyway, and it has been flattened exactly as all the experts predicted - levee failure followed by toxic soup and the collapse of infrastructure and services.

12. They made NO plans to get the 100,000 out because they were

SUPPOSED TO DIE.

Then, big surprise to the haters, the 100,000 showed true grit and managed to fight their way out of HELL.

Oops, what do we do with all them dark folks now, boss?

[IndyOp]

16. Especially when they can tell the truth on national TV?

...what do we do? I'll give you one guess...

:nuke:

[Talismom]

15. I agree! Haliburton didn't just have first bids...they were handed the

contracts. The criminal conflicts of interest are so clear and obvious that IT IS GALLING!

[meisje]

6. So your saying to come back now??

[Roland99]

7. You're not back already?

;)

[DoYouEverWonder]

8. Good advice

if you have the resources to stay somewhere else it is a lot easier on everyone involved. Unless of course you are going there to do rescue work and clean up.

[MadeinOhio]

13. These sick freaks care about nothing but oil. Its time to force to resign!

Its time to force them all to resign as the racist disgraces they are in hell! :mad:

Their racism against the poor is an abomination. Write to every one of them for resignations- http://www.conservativeusa.org/mega-cong.htm

[stickdog]

14. Whatever. It's now a police state anyway. It's not as if anyone has

a fucking choice anymore.

[karlrschneider]

17. Is this message intended for RESIDENTS who want to come 'home'?

...

[Roland99]

18. Yes...but also for individuals wanting to come help

Although, cell service is being restored more quickly than first thought.
