When this blog broke a couple few weeks ago, I turned to other things I have been wanting to do. I also am back from a family conference I attend yearly in Monterey over Labor Day weekend. Consider it the Washingtonian “August off.”

barbara bush says…”the poor in new orleans got off easy for not being forced to evacuate before the storm hit”? memes is the subconscious conscience of the collective unconscious. silence is consent. …memes may not have the answers but it is one of the greatest tools for the forensic investigation and enlightenment of truth, right, power, media, falsehood & government. Why are angels “radiant”? We all shine brighter when we reflect the light of truth. let me put this simplistically, meme is a force of light in a world of “corporatism” that has turned it’s back on humanitarian prinicple. the key to it’s power is “instant accountability”. it doesn’t exist anywhere else. If Hastert had said, “we should level Jerusalem” during its greatest hour of need..; or if Hastert had said, “There is no reason to rebuild new York or the Pentagon, just bulldoze it” after 9/11…he would have been jailed. It’s clear that 9/11 was “allowed” to happen by the powerful men and women in our govt who weighed and balance human souls vs the political “costs” of stopping 9/11. ultimately, in the final analysis the poor are not even entitled to “live”. Where is “bush’s” Culture of Life? It doesn’t apply in Iraq where the US Government has “aborted” the lives of nearly 1,000,000 Shia children to assure that “Chevron” got it’s fair share of the gas in “Oil For Gas”. Bush’s Culture of Life doesn’t apply any where in the world where the land/security rights of Chevron conflicts with the families of innocent children. The Culture of Life does NOT apply in New Orleans or to the poor white southern in Biloxi.
When the Red Cross asked FEMA for permission to take water into New Orleans, FEMA turned them down (I have the proof). When the Salvation Army sought to enter New Orleans..FEMA refused. When the Pentagon asked permission to fly water from a Hospital Ship in the Gulf, FEMA turned them down. When the Coast Guard was steaming down the Mississippi River to bring water to the port..>FEMA ordered them to stand down. FEMA has refused to send ANY personnel into areas of “Total Devastation”…so it can avoid “worker’s compensation claims for injuries employees may incur.”
in the name of humanity it self, open-memes-ses-a-mee!

if you’re expecting me to appeal to your “ego”…forget it! as is clear from the content of this site, your capacity for self-aggrandizement is obviously, in a word, “limitless”. You don’t need any more help in promoting yourself.
Barbara Bush: Things Working Out ‘Very Well’ for Poor Evacuees from New Orleans

NEW YORK Accompanying her husband, former President George
H.W.Bush, on a tour of hurricane relief centers in Houston, Barbara Bush said today, referring to the poor who had lost everything back home and evacuated, “This is working very well for them.”
The former First Lady’s remarks were aired this
evening on American Public Media’s “Marketplace”
program.
She was part of a group in Houston today at the
Astrodome that included her husband and former
President Bill Clinton, who were chosen by her son, the current president, to head fundraising efforts for the recovery. Sen. Hilary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama were also present.
In a segment at the top of the show on the surge of evacuees to the Texas city, Barbara Bush said: “Almost everyone I’ve talked to says we’re going to move to Houston.”
Then she added: “What I’m hearing which is sort of scary is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality.
“And so many of the people in the arena here, you
know, were underprivileged anyway, so this–this (she chuckles slightly) is working very well for them.”
