Tell 'Em

If anything, we should put your photo in the middle of the masthead. You are certainly right that OpEdNews had to get down and dirty and do basic journalism now. How many writers are actually within the flood zones right now? Let's get cranking, brothers and sisters, if you have eyewitness accounts in particular or something to report in general, and bring your cameras with you! Photos, photos, photos.

Thanks

But I am a Midwest gal after all and should not have said "crap."

Seriously, my big worry after coming off the NCMR media Reform Conference in Minneapolis was that there was a huge lack of journalism present there. Reporting is hard work. If you don't do the work you end up just telling everyone what you think. It becomes very narcissistic—my favorite word of late.

I am torn....

     This entire episode is clear. Disaster Capitalism at work. Those good folks who are not being allowed back to begin fixing their own homes due to govermental safety regs. What the f happened to the rights of personal property? Who the f is runnin this broken vessel?

     I have been endowed with taking care of my family, my 7 day a week biz for food on the table, my mom in skilled nursing. At my shop, 150 kids developing their souls thru music count on me and I on them to daily build lives of value from the heart that is so missing in so many of our youth. I have been given the op to make a difference. My wife gave up her own life long geographical ties to her family so that my mom would have us all close in her waning years.

     I am surrounded in my life by goodness, and yet I hear and feel helpless as I see, hear and watch this catastrophe that is unfolding in front of our eyes.

     I cannot leave my family to answer all these calls to my soul. I am torn.

     I spout words and these threads, talk to any who will listen, listen to any who will speak and damn it if I just end up feeling like a inept bystander.

     I am in awe of your diligence Georgianne, and embarrased I am not able to answer your heeded calls. I swear to god I wish sometimes I were a good old Irishman, sitting with my onion soup and bottle of talking fool.

     peace

Goodness

You are exactly where you are supposed to be-- taking care of your family. We all do what we are able to do, and by commenting, staying engaged and teaching your children you are actually doing it all. Your Momma needs you, also. That is fighting the good fight.

Good point!

Georgianne

Dear lady, I commend you, you are all too right. However, what we are seeing in the Midwest now is simply payback for an inordinate amount of hubris. Rather than allowing the rivers to do what they will do; overspill their banks in the spring, we decided that we could dictate to Mother Nature what She must do. We built our towns and cities on flood plains and then complain when they flood. So we built levees...which insured that when the rivers flood, those floods are that much worse. Not to mention that our industrial effluents are helping cause natural disasters of ever increasing proportions. Tornado season has begun earlier, the tornadoes are that much more destructive and the changing weather patterns are causing deluges and earlier spring melts causing devastating floods.

It is without a doubt that our infrastructure is collapsing...unfortunately, by design. Disaster capitalism at its best. After all the billions of $ that will now be spent rebuilding will INCREASE our GDP! How perverse is that?

More importantly, the global climate change and its attendant disasters are trying to tell us something. Question is, will we bother to learn?

Complicated

There are two major issues with dozens of tentacles on the octopus.

1. water management

2. infrastructure managment

The more we all realize how complicated the basics are, the better. Then as you so rightly point out, we have the whole issue of disaster capitalism.

Can't fool Mother Nature

There is a story about how Bienville decided to build New Orleans where he did. As fate would have it Bienville and his party came across a party of Native Americans hunting for alligators and asked them where would be a good place to build his settlement?

The Native Americans conferred amongst themselves for a few minutes and pointed at the ground indicating "right here", and apparently Bienville having it escape him that those Native Americans were "alligator hunting" at the time, built what is now known as The City of New Orleans.

So for the next 14 years, as annual floods would wipe-out Pale-faces settlement and Native Americans would laugh their ass's off because instead of moving Pale-faces would re-build every year, until they made their next mistake and built a levee, in mankind's, or at least Pale-faces version of it, vain effort to beat Mother Nature instead of working with her.

Native Americans felt they more than got even for having to have been gypped out of selling Manhattan for $14.00.

And that is in essence what we're experiencing now all up and own this Mighty-Miss'a-sip.

After hundreds of years of bitch-slapping Mother Nature, pouring concrete over floodplains, pushing and shoving a force of a Mississippi River around can only last so long, weather by design or not somethings got to give.

Why you aren't getting much attention to this calamity is not just pundits inability to grasp the immediate need to focus attention to the suffering, but all of us Pale-faces would have to start to change our thinking in fundamental ways that are not natural for us. We'd have to admit defeat. We're not very good at that.

Not in that we don't have intelligence to do so, we have now mastered ways to create earthquakes, manufacture and steer hurricanes, if what we can believed of HAARP and what Benjamin Fulford is uncovering in Asia, what we seem to lack is intelligence on how to use that force wisely.

You crack that nut, good luck to you.

As far as you getting fired? HA! Fat chance. You're one of the best out there. They should give you a raise.

Hi, I Georgianne. I salute you.

Saw this article through meanderings like the Mississsippi right down to the Delta. Alternet newsletter to HuffingtonPost. So where are you standing besides at Lake Itasca? (I have a picture of me straddling it--decades ago.)

The article I found on alternet, you will know, is not this hurryup you post here. So I don't know about a Quick Link. You are in the driver's seat.

Location location

I am in Minnesota for my Daughter's graduation from Carleton College. (magna cum)

Back to NOLA on Saturday. I have good access to sources here.

The Alertnet article was picked up from Huff Post and was also cross posted here, so we are covered. However, it is interesting to note that the right wingers are killing me with 50 comments or more on Alertnet.

Kill the messenger...but hey this is America..and thank god we can argue about all of this.

Well said, overall, Georgianne.

 The real, and first, demanding question, must be: " WHY did this massive failure of infrastructure happen?!"

 The Levee sys$tem, all along the great Mississippi, like every other, domestic Americans$, i.e. Citizens$, i.e. taxpayers$' INFRAS$$$TRUCTURAL stresses$, has always$ been ignored by the offens$ive "minded," war, etcetera, Profiteers$ in this allegedly, "elected" Adminis$tration, since January 20, 2001 AD, and no doubt before then.

 And by my not so "journalistic" usage of the Dollar S$ign, alongside the "S's" just above, I am NOT arguing for simply "throwing monies$ at the problems, taxpayers$ and citizens$ hard-worked and labored for monies$," with NO OVERS$IGHT of just HOW and yes, WHY it's$ being s$pent, a.k.a. the BUS$H Adminis$tration's$ WAR-and Terroris$m-Profiteers$', Post 9/11 Attacks$ "Policies$" in Iraq, Afghanistan, etcetera.

 I am not at all, logistically, or financially, able to get my "brains$," ie my BUTT over the America's GREAT Midwest Region, to physically HELP OUT, i.e., as many hands-in GOOD-Hearted volunteers from the OBAMA Presidential Campaign have been doing, with their great, ie their Good Works for the PEOPLE and Life of the Midwest in the past days.

 And this IS, will be an ongoing, huge infras$tructural failure, that may well rival or S$urpass even the "Post-Katrina" Gulf States Region(*and the GOOD FOLKS in AMERICA'S GULF STATES, Mississippi, Louisiana, New orleans, etcetera, are ALL-AMERICAN regions, also, are STILL S$uffering, horribly, from Katrina, with the Pro-Corporatis$tic BUS$H WHITE House, still only allocating the REAL LOGISTICAL and MONETARY HELP to their CLOS$E Political-Republican and Corporate S$YCOPHANTS$!).

 They are s$till, not CLOS$e to getting "over" Katrina's after-effects, in those AMERICAN, states of Mississippi and Louisiana, that are as much a part of our national character(* I think I've read all of the works of William FAULKNER, the deep and musing Writer from Mississippi; he is to my , albeit, mentally ILL, "mind," the greatest and truest American Novelist, in all of our History, even surpassing Mark Twain in the true meaning of his works), as is any of our as well great, Midwestern States, now under such horrific siege, from yes, Mother Nature's unflinching wrath, but moreover, from a Federally-managed Levee S$ystem, that has been totally ignored by the Rightis$t, "Pro-Privatis$ing," ie "PIRATIS$ING," ie GOUGING the American TAXPAYERS$, DIS$ASTER and WAR-and-Mis$ery Profiteering, "elected"["elected"?! On what real PLANET, and by what HONEST and TRUE, and CONSTITUTIONAL Mathematical MEASUREMENT, please tell me?!] Bus$h Adminis$tration!

 But, too, Georgianne is right, perhaps, in that, I have largely, IGNORED the latest Midwestern Floods, and their LAS$TING, unfathomable effects to follow, while I try to FIGHT OFF my own "Katrina Fatigue," and KEEP UP the GOOD FIGHT for my Fellow Citizens$, in places like New Orleans, Louisiana, and Mississ$ippi{*whos$e, Mississippi's$ CORRUPT "Governor" Haley Barbour, an extremis$t Bus$h lackey, and Profiteers$ Pal, over the PEOPLE of that State, to an extraordinary, exponential level of CRIMINALITY, hath TAKEN and TAKEN, and TAKEN s$ome more, for HIS$ close lackeys$ only, and NOT the People, many billions$ from US Taxpayers$, mainly, mos$t ALL OF IT, going into the Pockets$ of Corporations$, their "hard-working"[?!"!] Management Class$, of TRULY, LOW-CLASS$$, CROOKS$! of the HIGHES$T, ie, from the LOWES$T ORDER Of that lad's, Dante ALGHERI "9 levels$ of HELL," in his DIVINE COMEDY), AND too, while I try to awaken too many of my fellow American "Citizens$," ie "S$HEEPLE," from their damned and YES$, put bluntly, and most ACCURATELY, their INTELLECTUALLY LAZY $Seemingly ENDLESS$ $SLUMBER, and endless$ lovem for Their ONGOING, HATREDS$ of CRITICAL THINKING, and real Problem-Solving measures, that such as these ongoing floods$ in America's Midwestern realms, AND yes, the STILL ongoing, and in some cases, ever-INCREAS$ING SUFFERINGS, of OUR FELLOW CITIZENS{and we are NOT, none of us are mere "CITIZENS$" or S$heep, or Cons$umers$, ahead of being, Good CITIZENS, damned it!) in "Pos$t-Katrina New Orleans and Louisiana/Mississippi!
