Terms like '100-year hurricane' create a false sense of security, critics say ~Sheila Grissett
Editilla refers to this Corps PR Narrative as...
The Hundred Years Score

Hurricane and Storm Damage Risk Reduction System Design Guidelines ~Tim Ruppert
~Editilla jus'gotta ax~albeit this creepo represents less the Horse's Mouth as the Horse's Ass of this report, (as in, I suspect that he merely compacted it but did not actually do the math), did this blog'stabber represent the Corps of Engineers, back in May, when he come onto this Ladder's comment section to publicly smear and mislead our Readers about the Engineering qualifications of
Dr. Robert Bea as a "non-licensed paid litigant consultant" (story here) --in advance of Dr. Bea's expert testimony in the upcoming lawsuit regarding MRGO/Industrial Canal, against the Corps?
Aside from throwing the veracity of the above linked report to Hell, such Rovian whisper sucker-punch misdirection , to put it nicely, Ass Fucks the report's Efficacy as well!
Was this fuckmook attempting to taint the public perception Dr. Robert Bea's Engineering Testimony for the plantiffs--before the court can even seat a jury?
The reason I want to know is because he did this smear right on top of my ptsd response to the subject AP article then about the Corps suspect Breech Repair Leaking at the 17th Street Canal Levee. He did so publicly and anonymously, in front of our valued readers around the country and world--without leaving any calling card for response: no email or reference to his employment with the Corps of Engineers. He did not respond to my public challenges, preferring instead to just Hit & Run.
"Say It And Go"...sound familiar?
Where have we seen such switchblade politics?

At the time I had no idea who this Nameless Fakir was,
as it had been nearly a year since his dataless levee-status-report at last years Rising Tide 2 Nolabloggers' conference, where he spun entertaining tales of everyone else's levees but ours.
We needed data and Nameless Tim gave us polders and wetlands, misdirecting obfuscating horse shit one year after his "engineering" organization's levees failed due to substandard engineering and flooded New Orleans.
I also do not remember whether he represented the Corps then either. Did he Rising Tide?
Did this Nameless Punk "Whore for the Corps"?
Gentle'rillas are dying to know!

It took Editilla a while to filter through his infiltration of this Noble Community before discovering that, not only is he the current President of the LaASCE, but the actual Goddamned Corps! ASCECORPS! Jeez Louie they really are every where you want to be! Not only has our beleaguered City That Care Forgot and the Presidente Left For Dead had to deal with unconscionable, unrelenting corruption from every quarter of the country, the sole agency tasked to protect us by correctly rebuilding their failed levees scurries around behind the scenes attempting to paint a different story than the one that actually happened --before we can find out what happened!
These are the actions of desperate and guilty bastards.

In this photos taken today a Marsh has begin to form in the flowing water of the 17th Street LEAK.
Contrary to Corps' public statements, they have done nothing here. Nada. Bullshit PO Cephus Spin'filtration.
The Corps looked us right in the eyes and lied.
Please look closely in the middle of the photo to see the deep tracks filled with flowing lake water. Taste that water and you will find salt.

Indeed the only evidence of their presence is the fresh dirt spread over other parts of the water by the street, where the migrating ducks (in the linked article) had taken roost.
So it appears that the Corps plans are...what?
Cover up the evidence of this Growing Problem with
Marsh Grass and a Fresh Dirt? Then...what?
Wait until it breeches and floods again and washes away all remaining evidence of their corruption?
Drown the remaining witnesses? What? Children?
What's that Sound? Can everybody look What's Going Down?

This is the Crux
of this Biscuit.
This is why Editilla blew a 50 amp fuse.
I honestly did not take personally Nameless Tim's cowardly misdirection attack on Robert Bea's engineering qualifications.
I took it Viscerally. It sickened me, because he did it in response to my gut emotional reactions posted here on My Blog to the AP photograph of nearly 3 months ago of this leak, which had grown twice its size as reported by the TP in March, when the Corps then said "Nothing to worry about, folks. It is just a little SEEPAGE. Happens all the time. Trust us. We know what we are doing." Oh?
Then I come on Memorial Day and stuck my arm into this LEAK up to the elbow and felt the flowing water.
I cannot describe the Fear and Despondency of such a revelation. The LEAK had doubled.
Then Levees.org, with a camera and national journalist in tow, investigated the LEAK one month after me and, as you can see from the linked article, it had Quadrupled in size, And so the Corps sends out PO Cephus to tell us it is "Bubbling". Again, "Nothing To Worry About Folks."
And today? We have a Fucking Marsh growing in this Flowing Water. The Corps Lied. They had no intention of setting foot on this ground, but to add another lock on the gate and hope the grass covers up the evidence.
Given the Corps past "engineering" prowess one might suppose that they intend for this Marsh Grass to stanch the wall of water that will come rolling towards Lakeview when that Levee fails again. However, judging from the current real estate market in Lakeview, I'd bet those tax payers would strongly beg to differ --especially since they were hollering about this very Spot before Katrina missed the city. This levee failed over 4 HOURS after a CAT 2 storm had passed the city and made landfall
NEARLY 40 MILES AWAY.

Editilla may have been born at night but it wasn't last night. This is what water does. And water will not stop flowing until its job is done. That job?
It is a time honored function known as EROSION.

But, Hit me and Run? I don't think so!
Threaten my city with substandard levees again?
I DOUBLE DON'T THINK SO!!
Stand between my beloved city and those levees with Corps/ASCE bullshit in your mouth and on your hands?
I TRIPLE DON'T THINK SO!!!

This is why Editilla and the Ladder's Gentle'rillas need to know if this Bitch will be allowed to spin'filtrate the Corps of Engineers PR Narrative at this year's upcoming Rising Tide 3 Conference. We really need to know this. Everyone needs to know this because we need answers about our failed levees that they are not giving us.
At least, if he is going to do their Public Relations bidding then this Nameless Fuckmook should come off it and tell everyone he works for the Corps of Engineers.
We don't need Cute. We don't need this sociopath pulling everyone's heartstrings over his own loss when he was able to afford a brand new home with the money he is paid by the same criminals who ruined my city and killed 1000s of her citizens.
That would be the Exquixotic Corps of Engineers, in case anyone has missed the cut of my jib here.

I was there for this creep's flood and lost everything.
My dog. My friends. My home. Fucking Everything!
I lost my goddamned humanity.
I lost my heart,
and with these Levees Still Leaking, have very irreal trouble returning to try to find it again.
Nola bloggers should know from whence I come...
--Broken-hearted and Crazier than a Bat Out of Hell.

Some of my friends who have died since those Corps levee failures, (two as a direct result of them, two suicides because they cannot return to New Orleans...around 13 souls that Editilla just didn't get to know well enough if such a thing is possible) but later, one in particular would have skewered this smarmy asswipe on a bone for such grotesque duplicity.
Well, since they are now gone, Editilla sadly takes up the Bat Signal. We just cannot have this sort of...disingenuity.

I cannot move back to reclaim what was lost because Your Failed Levees Are LEAKING --Again! Right now.
Today, After You Allegedly Repaired Them.
We simply do not have time for such Feckless Bull Shit.
And we certainly do not need your
American Society of Civil Engineers
forming a Political Action Committee
on our Tax Dollars with Tax-Exempt Status.
If y'all want to defeat Senator Mary Landrieu and
S. 2826, The 8/29 Investigation Team Act then do it on your own Corps' Dime.
What Fuckless Hubris!
Do you wear the Ring, Nameless Tim Ruppert?
My father wore the Ring
on the fifth finger of his working hand.
Dr. Robert Bea wears the Ring.
Raymond Seed wears the Ring.
Do you, Nameless Tim Ruppert, wear the Ring?
The Engineers Ring?
That is really what this is really aaaallll about.
American Engineers sent our citizens to the Moon...
and brought them back with duct tape
when things went terribly wrong!
They didn't try to form a PAC. They didn't make excuses.
They did not run from the problems.
They Brought Our Citizens Home.
You and your gang of neo'engineers tried to destroy
Our Home, and I refuse to allow you and your hood'mates to assault that memory also.

With typical idiopathetic, passive-aggressive grace this Nameless Puke signs all of his comments with the word "Peace". Yeah right.
Editilla believes in Peace and we are going to have it here
--one Piece at a time.
