There’s a program @ my university where they give a MEMORIAL Loan to students who are in financial need & are receiving financial aid, & the money is deducted from my refund checks. But they told me that if I am in DIRE need, I have to write them a letter of being in extenuating circumstances, so I can get the money earlier. I’m on a fixed income, my electricity bill is high because I had to pay a deposit on it, & I’m low on food & clothing, & I need books & school supplies. & this type of loan is NOT credit-based. My financial credit is poor as a result of Hurricane Katrina (long story) but I became in debt, trying to replace my necessities.

I only have 3 towels & washcloths left. I didn’t realize my brother was stealing my stuff when I was living with him. Now I have my own apartment.
I’m asking in the ETIQUETTE section since this has to do with trying to persuade politely & properly & not rudely.

This website is supposed to be all about predicting events that will happen in the future. It supposedly predicted the events on Sept.11th and Hurricane Katrina and few others that have come true.

The latest prediction is that there will be global devestation in late Dec.2012. Here is part of the article :

Throughout its short existence, the Web Bot has accurately predicted many other natural and man made disasters such as the 2001 anthrax attack on Washington DC, the East Coast power outage in 2003 and the earthquake which lead to the December 26 2004 tsunami. It is even credited with predicting hurricane Katrina and the devastating events that followed. In addition, the Web Bot has foretold of a global devastating event expected to take place in late December 2012.

Is anyone familiar with this site and what do you think of the 2012 prediction?? That really has me freaked out thinking the world may come to an end then. Should I not believe it or is there some truth to it?

A friend of mine told about this WebSite…I had no idea of this whole 2012 thing before she mentioned it. And I also have no idea who Art Bell is.

As if some kind of radiated pulse or modifier is aimed at water supply near storm to increase the storm development in a certain area.

I have noticed this and have copied several instances to my hard drive. Whenever I have seen these patterns – these storms became major disasters.

Could our Government have some kind of Weather Modification satellite in space? You know, some kind of microwave pulse or beam directed at nearby water supplies to warm up the water and creat more moisture/power in the storm.

I saw this during hurricane Katrina – A major glitch flashing right across the Infrared weather screen right befor ethe storm intensified.

And it is only visible on the Infrared screen

Just throwing this out there.

You seem to think you know me. I don’t show my questions or answer so you are either watching what I do or you have nothing to do all day and look at every post on every board.

The World is not what it appears to be from an average citizens point of view.

The fact that I connect on all these issues is nothing more than a way to help people wake up.

The World doesn’t belong to man and my life doesn’t belong to my Government.

Freedom of Speech

I may ask what I want, where I want and when I want.

Get a life

I can show you the screen grabs if you would like of Hurricane Katrina spiking on the infrared.
HERE ARE FOUR OF MY SCREEN GRABS

I just watched a very disturbing video of Hatians looting in the streets getting violent. One boy about the age of 12 had a brick thrown at his head. Meanwhile a woman stood and watched holding a looted cartoon of cigarettes…. This is just like Hurricane Katrina revisted with all the looting and violence. Or like the L.A. riots. Anybody see a pattern here? Listed below is a link to a CNN article. On that page there are videos you can click and watch. Warning, its very graphic!

http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/americas/01/18/haiti.looting.earthquake/index.html?section=cnn_latest
Please remember that 30 countries world wide are sending food and water. Portda Prince the capital where all this is taking place is located 2 miles from the airport.. Millions of tons of food and water…
When I was at the Earth Quake that happen in greece in 2000 where 24,000 people died, I didnt see any of this type of stuff happening there…

In 10 years of watching weather pattern I can tell you that the anomalies shown below are not natural occurences.

Four screen grabs from my hard drive

I have about 15 more just like them as well as map in motion – animated frame by frame of the anomaly occuring and how long it was there.

I think, and I may be wrong, but I think Haiti and every other nation gave the USA {content}.00 after Hurricane Katrina.

Oh well, enough of the cold, hard facts….start loading the supply trucks for Haiti…its a thankless job but someone (USA) has to do it.

Is it me,or is every year that passes by,we are witnessing greater and greater disasters????Are these signs of The Lord’s return????

1914:WW I occurs,resulting in a total of over 60 million dead.
1929:Great Depression stikes America.
1939:WW II occurs,resulting in a total of over 65 million dead.
1945:WW II is ended with the Hiroshima Bomb.An estimated 150,000 people were killed by this single bomb.

1980s:HIV virus is discovered.
2001:9/11 happens
2003:We go to war with Iraq(which we are still at war with)
2004:Tsunami at Indonesia happens
2005:Hurricane Katrina strikes New Orleans

Its seems to me that great diseasters have been happening more frequent than other years on Earth.I know that other major earthquakes have happened,but none in such a pattern that have killed over 20,000 people.Whether you are a skeptic or not,you have to analzye that events on higher scales have been happening with more frequency.Many of these events were prohecied to happen by the Bible.Jesus gave many prophecies to his return in the end of days,and many of those prophecies are being forfilled today with such a speed that has never been seen.One has to ask,"Is this really it???"

On August 30, 2005, Mexican President Vicente Fox sent his condolences to President George W. Bush: "In the name of the people and of the government of Mexico, I assure you of my deepest and most sincere condolences for the devastating effects caused by Hurricane Katrina". He also mentioned his instructions to the Secretariat of Foreign Affairs; that the United States would be provided with any kind of help that was needed.

On September 1, Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas received almost 196 Mexican troops, 14 truckloads of water, a mobile surgical unit, 45 military vehicles, 3 tons of purified water, and more than 250 tons of food, bottled water, canned food, disposable diapers and medical supplies. The Mexican Government sent million through the Mexican Red Cross which collected an additional million, as well as 200 tons of food delivered in five airplanes from the Mexican Air Force by another Mexican Government body. The Mexican Navy sent two ships, eight all-terrain vehicles, seven amphibious vehicles, two tankers, two helicopters, radio communication equipment, medical personnel Mexican aid workers set up temporary headquarters in the Houston Astrodome to assist relief workers and hurricane victims were very grateful for the aid that the Mexicans provided. The Mexicans provided hot meals to evacuees and relief workers, and Mexican medical teams also deployed into local area hospitals to tend to the influx of evacuees who flooded San Antonio area hospitals.

The medical team was three doctors, three dentists, three nurses and three paramedics, conducted 134 medical evaluations, performed 526 medical consultations, provided 363 ambulatory nursing procedures, and medically evacuated 83 personnel during their hurricane relief mission. affected by Katrina, and also offered to cover the costs of returning mexican nationals back to Mexico. Also offered was teams of epidemiologists, to reduce the risks of infections caused by mosquitoes.

The Mexican Red Cross sent four rescue experts from the state of Jalisco to assist in rescue efforts in New Orleans. The government of the Mexican Federal District also pledged to help with relief efforts.

On September 4 the Mexican Navy offered ships, buses and helicopters to assist in rescue missions. The offer was accepted and the Mexican ship Papaloapan departed from Tampico, with two Mi-17 helicopters, eight all-terrain vehicles, seven amphibious vehicles, two tankers, radio communication equipment, medical personnel and 250 tons of food.

Thank you Mexico !

How does the United States’ Federal System affect disaster relief efforts? This pertains especially to Hurricane Katrina in 2004.

Atlantis was hit by a natural disaster and is now a "lost city". Do you think if New Orleans was a island it could be under water because of hurricane Katrina and if there was an earthquake?

If there was a draft for the war in Iraq, would you support it or not?

I would not support a draft, and I do not believe in sending more people to Iraq. This war is based on the oil supply. If we don’t intervene, then we lose our supply.

What about alternate fuels? why isn’t there more finding put into that instead?

If not alternate fuels, what about alternate sources of oil, such as in Alaska?

My history teacher once said that gas companies have paid researchers to stop doing research on alternate fuels, in order to keep their market.

Gas companies have done other shady things, like raising the gas price after hurricane Katrina, even though the supply didn’t suffer. Why would they do that? Is it legal? This will all be affecting me in 2 years when I graduate and go to college, where I will need to pay for gas.

Inflation is when a currency decreases in value, and deflation is when a currency increases in value.

So like with Hurricane Katrina for example wouldn’t it actually be both because the natural disaster caused the damage which in turn could cause deflation because then people are going to be needing more of certain supplies, and if the natural disaster is big enough couldn’t it cause insufficient money supplies?

If you had to evacuate your home due to a natural disaster (hurricane, tornado, flood, earthquake, etc), or a man-made disaster (chemical spill, fire, gas leak, terrorist attack, etc), what would you do with your pets? Most emergency shelters make NO provisions for pets! You can’t bring a large dog, or multiple dogs just anywhere. You’d have to find another safe place for them. Many dogs were totally abandoned during Hurricane Katrina. Would your pets get abandoned if you was forced to evacuate your home?

Do you have a plan to evacuate your home, with your family and your dogs in an emergency? Do you know somebody (in another area) who could temporarily house your dogs during a disaster? Would you be willing to offer temporary housing to a friend’s dogs, or a family member’s dogs? What arrangements have you made? What would you do?

At the very least, I hope that a question like this would provoke some serious thought. Once distaster strikes, it’s too late.
Another question … Do you have an emergency kit (food, water, supplies, medications, etc) for your dog(s)? If you and your pets had to leave your home in an emergency, you’d need one. What’s in your kit?

I’m hearing about all the aid other countries are sending to Myanmar in the wake of the terrible cyclone. The USA is such an independent country. I wonder if they ever have or ever would accept for aid from another country for a natural disaster, like Hurricane Katrina?
