As we are only one day away from the 5th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, I feel it's worth pointing out that it likely was not 100% a natural disaster. There are many conspiracy theories surrounding the crazy event, and I find them to be quite interesting. Here's a few of them...
Theory that God sent Katrina as punishment: (From Wikipedia) "Various political and religious leaders have suggested that Hurricane Katrina was sent as a devine retribution for the sins of New Orleans, or of the south, or of the United States as a whole. Steve Lefemine credited God: "In my belief, God judged New Orleans for the sins of shedding innocent blood through abortion...Providence punishes national sins by national calamities...Greater divine punishment is coming upon America unless we repent of the national sin of abortion." I think this theory could very well be true. Not just because of abortion, but let's not forget Burban Street in the French Quarter. While some people argue that Katrina couldn't have been sent because of Burban Street since the French Quarter was the least damaged part of New Orleans, if you think about it, with all that damage and all those deaths it would have been enough to cleanse the city.
Theory that government was partly responsible: We all know how the government apparently knew that MR-GO (Mississippi River Gulf-Outlet) wasn't designed properly, which made Katrina's waves much faster and higher causing the flooding to be even more catastrophic. But did the government play an even bigger part in Katrina's destruction? Reaction came very slowly and late to New Orleans while Mississippi, though it didn't receive immediate reaction either, got aid faster than New Orleans. At first New Orleans only had police and troops, which didn't help much, all they did was shoot at looters and make matters worse than they already were. Considering that New Orleans is a mostly Catholic city, it's possible that the government intentionally acted slowly until criticism got bad enough. The government also has a system that can apparently controll weather conditions, it's called HARP. As bad as the 2005 Atlantic Hurricane season was, it's possible that they used HARP to heat the atmosphere, making the waters unusually warm, allowing for rapid intensification near the loop current for hurricanes.
Theory that levees were blown up: Katrina caused at least 53 different levee breaches. But were all of those due to the levees not being to withstand the rising waters any longer? Some survivors heard "explosion noises" coming from the Lower Ninth Ward. A text message was supposedly sent saying "A levee was blown up to save valuble land in the French Quarter". During the Great Flood od 1927, a levee was indeed blown up to save valuble land. Or was the levee in New Orleans actually blown to save land? The government could have hired someone to blow them up to make the disaster worse. We all know of the government's population controll plan. Dynamite was apparently found after Katrina near the Ninth Ward. Some conclude that the sound of rushing waters, or the sound of the barge hitting the levees, could also have caused explosion noises.
