POPS New Orleans Orders Mandatory Evacuation
As part of the evacuation plan New Orleans developed after Katrina, residents who had no other way to get out of the city waited on a line that snaked for more than a mile through the parking lot of the city's main transit terminal. From there, they were boarding motor coaches bound for shelters in north Louisiana. The city expects to move out about 30,000 such residents by Sunday. Unlike Katrina, when thousands took refuge inside the Superdome, there will be no "last resort" shelter. "You will be on your own," Nagin said. About 1,500 National Guard troops were in the region, and soldiers were expected to help augment about 1,400 New Orleans police officers in helping patrol and secure the city. Standing outside his restaurant in the city's Faubourg Marigny district, Dale DeBruyne prepared for Gustav the way he did for Katrina - stubbornly. "I'm not leaving," he said. DeBruyne, 52, said his house was stocked with storm supplies, including generators.

POPSChertoff: Terrorists Are Coming This Election Season! EU Terrorists, he says he knows they are trying....but yet they never catch any trying? Right! Propaganda, stay tuned for false flag events this election season, or maybe just more fear mongering to drive the agenda. Key word: "dirty bomb", after 7 years of zero attacks and mere rhetoric. Isn't it obvious that terrorists would lay low to prevent war policy being driven again? Now who would have such a motive, really? (Whats preventing the true perps from doing it is that it cripples the economy too much, as 9/11 did).

POPSChertoff Wants to Israelize US Airport Security Big Brother expansion while he signs an agreement with Israel (can he do that?) to "share technologies". Chertoff holds dual citizenship and is part of the neocon-Israeli fifth column revolutionizing America into a police state. I wonder how much the Israeli companies will profit from this "sharing". By the way, what threat of terrorism? The probabilities are microscopic in comparison to crime or traffic accidents, yet we bow to the most extreme and expensive measures, none of which would stop a real suicidal terrorist? Everyone is treated as suspicious, and we call it "freedom"? But don't worry, you will be treated as well as a Palestinian in your "homeland".

POPSCybersecurity's New World Order Cybersecurity is where the government is putting a lot of its money. In the future, we will see tons of request for proposals (RFPs) coming up to address this concern. If your company does not know much about this area, I would suggest you start training your team and yourself on anything and everything dealing with cybersecurity. This is the first time I have seen that the entire world is getting together to address this issue. Big proposals in this arena, so learn about cybersecurity now rather than later.

POPSArizona State Senator(R): 9/11 Controlled Demolition
Her commentary appeared in this newspaper. She makes a well sustainable argument that cannot be denied has merit. • The theory that the buildings collapsed due to controlled-demolition explosives, however, is consistent with scientific principles and the facts. The “demolition” theory, in fact, is the only one which scientists have been able to corroborate. That is, “… all observations are in accord with the use of explosives in a time sequence.” (Legge and Szamboti, December, Journal of 9/11 Studies.) The events of 9/11 led immediately to the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and passage of the Patriot Act (what double-speak), both of which deprive us of Constitutional rights and have brought us to the brink of becoming a police state. Homeland Security is currently trying to force a national ID card down our throats, although some governors have politely (or not so politely) told Secretary Michael Chertoff where he can go.

POPSNAO: Homeland Security Launches New Domestic Spy Program Unbelievable and right in our faces. Brazen domestic spy program launched based upon satellite technology and furthering military involvement in domestic police operations. This is a tyranny matrix, contrary to the 4th amendment of the Constitution, again.

POPSREAL ID: 50 States' Citizens Free to Travel; Senators Grill Chertoff This is a good analysis on REAL ID, as their is much posturing going on by the Dept. of Homeland Tyranny (aka Security) as to the results. Bottom line is the States rebelled, and the anti-Constitutional Department is compromising, but still pushing. May 11th was the deadline date, but it has been arbitrarily moved, and has no definitive standards. Chertoff's goal is to feign compromise while coercing and gaining increasing conformity. The freedom to travel as free citizens should not, and legally cannot, be impeded. To set up a new criteria for just who will be treated like "free citizens", instead of criminal suspects, without probable cause or search warrant, on the basis of a national (i.e. federalized) ID card is unconstitutional.

POPSLamar Alexander R-Tenn Sees Chance To Nix Real ID Act
“Congress created Real ID, and they can do away with Real ID,” said Jim Harper, director of information policy studies at the Cato Institute and the author of a book on identification laws and technology. “Not a single state is going to be in compliance with the law by May, and the program has been failing from the start.” Citing the law’s unfunded costs and big-government approach, Alexander told Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff at a March 4 subcommittee meeting about his plans for the amendment. Like many critics, one of Alexander’s biggest concerns is cost. He points out that while some estimates of the implementation of Real ID come to $4 billion, federal officials have appropriated only $60 million and distributed only $6 million. At least 19 states have passed measures stating their opposition. “If you pass a bill without hearings, you’re going to miss stuff. And the authors of Real ID missed a lot,” Harper, of the Cato Institute said.

POPSChertoff vs States on REAL ID; South Carolina May Sue Feds Showdown time on REAL ID. The official deadline is May 11th for states to file (beg) for extension from the Dept. of Homeland Tyranny. Montana got an extension without asking for one (still refusing to comply), five Senators request for all 50 states to be exempt from hassle, while Chertoff insists it is Congress that established the deadline (while it had no choice because REAL ID was passed under another bill, without debate). Chertoff is trying to gain compliance, arbitrarily, by compromises, so long as all states eventually comply. Tyranny will enter softly. The big news, and key precedent, that the Feds fear, is that South Carolina may file a lawsuit against them for treating South Carolinians like non-citizens. THIS IS WHAT EVERY STATE SHOULD DO.

POPS Cyber-Security::Ignore At Your Peril
The security software industry has taken particular notice of the rapid development of innovative ways to evade security protection. In January 2008, more than 40 security software technologists and anti-malware testers from throughout the world met in Spain to formalize the charter of the Anti-Malware Testing Standards Organization. This group's goal is to improve the quality and objectivity of anti-malware technology testing to consequently develop more effective products to prevent infectious cyber attacks. In 2008, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved the first "mandatory and enforceable" reliability standards addressing cyber security on the United States bulk power system. "The Mandatory Reliability Standards for Critical Infrastructure Protection" are industry-wide reporting standards that require certain users, owners and operators of bulk power systems to establish policies to safeguard physical and electronic access to control systems, train personnel......

POPSBush elevates terror alert to Orange (Satire) I think it's very ironic that this incident surfaced in Nevada," concluded Bush. "I hope it will send a message to Senator Reid and other like-minded individuals in Congress that the telephone companies must have immunity so that we're able to know everything that's going on in this country ahead of time Naughty Bushie

POPSChertoff Warns Of "Earth Shattering" Events Here we go again, expect this time I think we're being told what is coming for those in the know!!! This is the second time this guy has come out and said this.. Now if you take in the fact that this election isn't going as planned for them (voter turn -out) then you can possibly see where this is coming from and where its leading too! THEY do not want to give up the greed, power, control of the American people!! I don't think we'll make it to the elections without something happening to stop the elections and allow Martial law.. If you don't know what I'm talking about then you better start doing some research .. The 911 incident was no attack of Bin Laden (who Bush says he's not interested in finding) but our own Govt. ..

POPSEnough for one day.... ..... the more I see the harder it becomes to call myself a citizen of this country. We've lost our character, our Constitution and are now just a blink away from losing my freedom to the freaks that control our very destiny. I wrote a song a few years back called "I',m Done Now" but never recorded it save a cheapo cassette tape. I think it may just be time to get that one and a few more like it out there before they come after me.

POPSNew ID rules complicate travel
Drivers licenses will not be valid ID for boarding aircraft. There is now REAL ID, which seems equivalent to an internal passport. It's only a matter of time before they point how easy it would be to implant a registered ID chip at birth, before anyone has had time to argue. The political 'Dream' is to know where everyone is all of the time, and be able to track money, wherever it is. To the mite. Why is it taking so long with all of the talk of wars and enemies through the development of civilization, for people to work out that Mankind must have an aspect to it's character that makes it it's own worst enemy. We have spent our entire History Shadow Boxing. If we see a 'mirror' we try and smash the glass, because we are afraid we may see our true selves. While cutting our hands on the glass, we pretend there is a victory. An image is a poor substitute for something we have a clear view of. Our own hearts. I thought the aim of the constitution was to prevent things like this happe

POPSWho's being punished for 9-11?
We the People, that's who. "They", (we all know who the "they" is) haven't caught Bin Laden after 6 years of supposedly hunting him down. "They", sent our young people into an unnecessary war deluding the war they waged on the real 9-11 designers in Afghanistan. "They", depleted our liberties under the guise of Homeland Security. "They", took away so much of our National Guard, states were left without a safety net when natural disasters occurred i.e. KATRINA, which we are still being punished for with FEMA's revised Flood Maps. This little doozie is costing Me (A CARD CARRYING MEMBER OF, WE THE PEOPLE) 200 hundred dollars a month for flood insurance, added to my mortgage because the new flood maps put my house smack dab in the middle of a flood zone. Lived in a house for almost 13 years and was high and dry through La Niñas, hurricanes and a few torrential rains replete with strong tornadoes. All of a sudden "They" tell me I need flood insurance. http://thinkingblue.blogspot.com

POPS"24": Life imitates art (sort of) According to author Judith Warner, a new book of essays on the TV series "24" shows how policymakers and military officials have been taking cues from Hollywood on how to do their jobs. Not only chilling, but surreal to boot.

POPSU.S./Bush ignoring crisis of displaced Iraqis
More: The report is critical of the U.S. inability to make good on its promises. Despite talk of allowing 7,000 Iraqi refugees into the U.S. this year, only 1,608 had been admitted by the end of September, 450 entered in October. By comparison, the U.S. government has resettled nearly three times that many Iranians this year — 5,481 With one Cairo-based coordinator handling cases for 15 countries, the U.S. lacks the human resources to keep up with thousands of referrals that continue to pile up from the United Nations' refugee agency, according to Refugees International. Officials at the Arab League, representing 22 nations, said Americans had never approached them about Iraqi refugees. Countries such as Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt — all American allies — receive little or no assistance from the U.S. and have begun refusing to admit Iraqis Meanwhile, the report continues, the U.S. is reluctant to recognize that its longtime foe Syria stands alone in its open-door policy for I
