New Orleans, LA -- Divers inspecting the
ruptured levee walls surrounding New Orleans found something that piqued
their interest: Burn marks on underwater debris chunks from the broken
levee wall!
One diver, a member of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, saw
the burn marks and knew immediately what caused them. When he surfaced and
showed the evidence to his superior, the on-site Coordinator for FEMA
stepped-in and said "You are not here to conduct an investigation as to
why this rupture occurred, but only to determine how best to close it."
The FEMA coordinator then threw the evidence back into the water and said
"You will tell no one about this." At that point, the diver went back down
to do more inspection of the levee. On the second dive, he secreted a
small chunk of the debris inside his wet suit and later arranged for it to
be sent to trusted military friends at a The U.S. Army Forensic Laboratory
at Fort Gillem, Georgia for testing.
According to well placed sources, a
military forensic specialist determined the burn marks on the cement
chunks did, in fact, come from high explosives. The source, speaking on
condition of anonymity said "We found traces of boron-enhanced fluoronitramino
explosives as well as PBXN-111 embedded in the debris. This would indicate
at least two separate types of explosive devices."
The levee ruptures in New Orleans did not
take place during Hurricane Katrina, but rather a day after the hurricane
struck. Several residents of New Orleans and many Emergency Workers
reported hearing what sounded like large, muffled explosions from the area
of the levee, but those were initially discounted as gas explosions from
homes with leaking gas lines.
If these allegations prove true, the
ruptured levee which flooded New Orleans was a deliberate act of mass
destruction perpetrated by someone with access to military-grade
UNDERWATER high explosives. More details as they become available . . . .
Blogger Accused of Threatening U.S.
Judges Was Reportedly Paid by F.B.I.
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TRENTON (AP) — A New Jersey blogger about
to stand trial on charges that he made death threats against federal
judges was apparently paid by the F.B.I. in its battle against domestic
terrorism, according to a published report.
The blogger, Hal Turner, received thousands of dollars from the Federal
Bureau of Investigation to report on neo-Nazis and white supremacist
groups and was sent undercover to Brazil, according to a report on
Sunday by The Record of Bergen County.
Mr. Turner also claims the F.B.I. coached him to make racist,
anti-Semitic and other threatening statements on his Internet radio show,
but the newspaper also found that many federal officials were concerned
that his audience might follow up on his violent speech.
The newspaper reviewed numerous government documents, e-mail messages,
court records and almost 20 hours of jailhouse interviews with Turner.
Mr. Turner goes on trial Tuesday in Federal District Court in Brooklyn,
accused of making death threats against three federal appeals judges
based in Chicago after saying in Internet postings in June that the
judges “deserve to be killed” because they had refused to overturn
handgun bans in Chicago and its suburb of Oak Park.
The postings included the photos and work addresses of the judges —
Richard A. Posner, Frank H. Easterbrook and William J. Bauer — along
with a picture of the Dirksen Federal Courthouse in downtown Chicago and
notations indicating the placement of “bomb barriers.”
Mr. Turner’s F.B.I. connections began in 2003 with the Joint
Terrorism Task Force based in Newark, and continued on and off until
this year, according to the newspaper. He claims his postings and other
inflammatory statements were part of an undercover operation to ferret
out violent left-wing radicals.
His lawyer, Michael Orozco, has subpoenaed Christopher J. Christie, the
former United States attorney for New Jersey and the state’s
governor-elect, to testify on Mr. Turner’s behalf.
In an affidavit filed with the subpoena, Mr. Orozco says Mr. Christie
knew of Mr. Turner’s activities between 2002 and 2008 while Mr. Christie
held his federal post. Mr. Orozco says Mr. Christie issued a letter
saying he would not prosecute Mr. Turner for his statements.
It was not known whether Mr. Christie would be called to testify.
Mr. Christie said last week that he had not yet seen the subpoena, but
also said “any advice I gave as U.S. attorney regarding prosecutions is
something I am not going to talk about publicly.”
Federal prosecutors and F.B.I. officials declined to comment on Mr.
Turner’s claims.
“We do not comment on matters before the courts, and will not address
Mr. Turner’s allegations in the press,” said Weysan Dun, who runs the
F.B.I.’s Newark field office.
Mr. Turner said he felt double-crossed by the bureau after his June
arrest.
But other documents show federal agents growing more anxious about his
extremist views while valuing his ties to right-wing hate groups, the
newspaper said. It noted one memo that stated Mr. Turner “has proven
highly reliable and is in a unique position to provide vital information
on multiple subversive domestic organizations.”
In a separate case, Mr. Turner was charged with “inciting injury to
persons” for urging blog readers to “take up arms” against Connecticut
lawmakers who proposed legislation to give Roman Catholic lay members
more control over parish finances.
