Whitley Strieber’s Unknown Country
1Whitley Strieber’s Unknown Country
“…At virtually the same time, the House of Representatives, at
the request of the Bush administration, cut 70 million
dollars from the Army Corps of Engineers’ budget for the New
Orleans District. Last year, it essentially ended disaster
planning for the region by transferring the chore to a
private company, IEM Corp., and giving it a $500,000 budget.
Now, it has shelved a study that was to determine ways to
protect the city from a Category 5 hurricane…”
IEM Corp? Wonder if Dick Cheney gets any money from that? Need to dig into this one.
WEATHER WARS by Scott Stevens
1–{ WEATHER WARS by Scott Stevens }–
Katrina was a weapon?
I don’t know if I’d blame the Russian’s on this one, not with our very own HAARP ready and willing.
Global warming, coastal erosion, and one mofo of a hurricane seems enough to blame without dragging in the russians. But you never know. Seriously, never.
New Orleans webcams
1webcams from around the city. As of 7:24am PDT they were all working.
I wish they had a cam at Marie Laveau’s grave. You can bet there are some impassioned pleas for the Voodoo Queen to save her city.
Jupiter and Venus Conjunct
0Jupiter and Venus conjunct in Libra. a good time for getting together. Have a party for the end of summer or the beginning of Fall. Both!
The next two weeks, go with the flow of enjoying other people’s company. Magick suggestion? Pick a day and treat it like it was your favorite holiday.
What do you wear? Eat? Festive moods, kids, you’ve got alot of sky help.
Some Acronyms.
1Wouldn’t you like to know what LTU stands for? I am sure you’re just bursting to know. The hairs on your fingers are standing up. Anyway, LTU is a German charter operator that flies to many exotic destinations out of Düsseldorf, Germany. It is much cooler than KLM which stands for “Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij” which means Royal Dutch Airlines. I used to really like American Trans Air, but now it’s just ATA. Their old colourscheme still decorates a tiny fleet of L-1011 that are devoted to transporting American soldiers back and forth between whatever part of the world their country are at war with. Another nice one is BWIA, or British West Indian Airlines, and then there’s the more descriptive FAT or Far Eastern Transport. You won’t see neither at your local Airport unless it Heathrow or Taipei for the latter. There are other more straightforward ones like MEA or Middle Eastern Transport and NWA as Northwest Airlines. Anyway LTU means ‘Lufttransport-Unternehmen’ which translates as “We Undertake Air Transport”. As simple as that.

Seldom do I use the word “adorable” outside of the bedroom but for these cats-in-sink it’s the only one that applies.

Sept 6, 2005–Millennium III DVD
If you like end times conspiracy and extreme violent creepiness, nothing beats this series.
Lance Henricksen made Frank Black as real a character as can be.
This is the one thing that keeps me from truly hating Chris Carter after he had Mulder and Scully “do it” and killed the Lone Gunmen. But still, fuck you, Chris Carter.

Gallup Independent | UFO Expert Speculates About Strange Lights
The photo was taken by Lyle Jeff near Standing Rock, a Navajo community northwest of Gallup. Triangular craft seem to be all the rage these days. Personally, I kind of miss the saucers.
