AND NOW THE NEW QUESTION

August 31, 2005

As some of the renegade residents cast a bad image on New Orleans, one has to wonder where all of this is headed. Anarchy up close and personal.

It’s only a few (I pray), but the looting, burglary, and lawlessness is making big headlines around the world. You see more and more people aasking if this isn’t the judgment of God. Only God knows. What we know is that people are shooting at helicopters that were trying to evacuate people from hospitals. People were shooting at boaters who were going in to rescue people on roof tops. Others are shooting cops and the streets have seen pockets of people with AK47’s looking for trouble.

Martial law has been implemented; however, the criminals still rule. Ten thousand National Guard troops from around the U.S. are coming in to restore order. Bush is calling all of the military men now serving in Iraq, from Louisiana, back home. Black Hawk helicopters came in after other helicopters were shot at near the Superdome.

A city of 500,000 people is no longer. The total evacuation is underway. The bowl where New Orleans resides is full of a soup with a potential for diseases incalculable. Bodies are seen everywhere. What will the death toll be? My guess is, much larger than 9-11!

Where will the 500,000 people go? How will they live? And ultimately what is going to be the impact economically? Could this be the straw that breaks the economic back of America? Who can pay $6 a gallon for gas, because that is happening in many places. Ten cities cannot get fuel for airplanes causing flight cancellations.

The largest wall of water ever in history to hit the U.S. mainland came as a result of Katrina (27 feet). Now, the largest financial wall is crumbling as well. The real question is how far will the dominos fall, and how loud will be the crash?
