From the NY Times:
NEW ORLEANS — When Renaissance Village, the vast trailer park that housed Hurricane Katrina evacuees outside Baton Rouge, was closing down in May 2008, Theresa August was one of the last to leave. Babbling, singing and wearing a baby’s onesie on her head, she had to be coaxed into packing up the clothes and trash that crammed the trailer she called home.
Now, Ms. August, 40, lives in a small apartment in New Orleans that she decorated with flowers and Christmas lights. A team of social workers ensures that she takes her anti-psychosis medication and gets treatment for H.I.V. infection. Still shy and fettered by a speech impediment, she can carry on conversations far more coherently than at any other time since the storm.
“I didn’t think I was going to make it nowhere,” she said. “But I have.”

@ DA I was on that same thing an its PARTIALLY true, but what you dont know is america has a machine called HAARP in alaska that can intesify storms and cause earthquakes. Watch the movie ‘Holes In Heaven’ on youtube, you will see its 100 percent true. Katrina was designed to kill blk people thats why they blew the levies, and to test out HOW TO CARRY OUT MARTIAL LAW. THERE WILL BE MARTIAL LAW AGAIN SOON.
WE are being herded towards a catastrophe and most ppl are asleep at the wheel. Reseach ‘Bilderberg Group’ ‘Fall of The Republic’ on youtube people need to learn who their real masters are, what we are being taught about our world is lies on a matrix scale
