"The whole length of the wall was stuffed with newspaper." U.S. Contractor Stuffed New Orleans Floodwall With Newspaper 24 Apr 2008 "It blows my mind." Those are the words St. Bernard parish president Craig Taffaro used to watch videotape Eyewitness News showed him, of floodwalls built to protect his parish. "That should be criminal," Taffaro continues. What he's talking about was witnessed by a St. Bernard Parish resident, who had sharp criticism of the work done by a contractor hired by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers... The contract calls for Ercon Corporation, based in Lafayette, Louisiana, to do the almost $2 million of work to raise and repair the floodwall under the Paris Road bridge. Our investigation revealed Ercon Corporation is not even licensed by the state's board for contractors. The Corps of Engineers says as long as the federal government pays for the work, it does not prevent them from hiring an unlicensed Louisiana company.

Storm Strikes Land West of New Orleans 01 Sep 2008 Hurricane Gustav made landfall on the Louisiana coast on Monday, while it appeared that the brunt of the storm was passing to the west of New Orleans, making officials optimistic that the city would be spared destruction on the scale of Hurricane Katrina three years ago. Officials at the Army Corps of Engineers said that they did not believe that the hurricane was likely to cause water to flow over New Orleans’ levee system, though they said that the levee walls were being severely tested by the storm.

Hi Lori,

Let me take this opportunity to thank you for the wonderful work you are doing. Like thousands of others, I am subscribed to your newsletter (love your comments and provide the whole neighborhood, friends and relatives in South Africa with your "breaking news" they wouldn't find in our or the U.S. media.

I approved your previous post since it related to the topic of this forum. This one, however, is way OT and was forwarded to this forum without my approval.

I would appreciate it if you would only post to this forum those "breaking news" from your newsletter relating to the topic of this group, i.e. forced vaccinations.
