New Orleans Entirely Without Power, or 911 Service Due to Ida: Officials
(NY Slimes) Hurricane Ida Exposes Grid Weaknesses as New Orleans Goes Dark: A new natural gas power plant, meant to power the city in an emergency, did not come to the rescue when the storm disabled eight transmission lines.
(Guardian) ...more than 1m without power — according to monitoring website Poweroutages.us. Another 134,000 without power in neighboring Mississippi!
Entergy, the main utility for New Orleans, “confirmed that New Orleans has no power,” and the “only power in the city is coming from generators,” Tweeted the city’s NOLA Ready.
(Extremist AP) Thousands face weeks without power in Ida's aftermath
MANY DEAD!
(Guardian) Crews using helicopters and airboats conduct search and rescue missions after two people were killed: a motorist who drowned in New Orleans and a person hit by a falling tree outside Baton Rouge.
Two others were killed Monday night when seven vehicles plunged into a 20-foot-deep (6-meter-deep) hole near Lucedale (LOOSE-dale), Mississippi, where a highway had collapsed after torrential rains.
Democrat Governor John Bel Edwards, and Sleepy Joe Biden said they expect the death toll to rise.
Edwards urged New Orleans residents to “remain where you are” as the hurricane has brought “many hazards” including flooded roads, downed lines, and debris.
New Orleans Police Department tweeted: “Now is not the time to leave your home. There is no power. Trees, limbs, and lines are down everywhere. It is not safe to leave your home right now. Please remain sheltered in place.”
BTW: (AP) New Orleans levees (floodwalls and floodgates) pass Ida’s test while some suburbs flood — the damage from Hurricane Katrina was when the levees broke and the flooding killed a bunch of people. Neighboring communities were NOT protected this time, although the city supposedly is, so far.
‘Hundreds’ of Americans Still in Afghanistan After Last Military Flight: CENTCOM
Some think it’s more like thousands.
(The Epoch Times) The Pentagon has admitted that “hundreds” of Americans seeking evacuation have been left in Afghanistan, after the last U.S. military plane departed Afghanistan’s Hamid Karzai International Airport a few hours before dawn — supposedly ending 20-Year War: according to some general — hours before Sleepy Joe’s Aug 31 deadline. (I’m a lil confused, because I thought his deadline was Sept 11th, the 20-year anniversary of the 2001 terror attack!)
“There’s a lot of heartbreak associated with this departure. We did not get everybody out that we wanted to get out,” said U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) head Gen. Frank McKenzie, adding that it is a “tough situation.”
The head of U.S. Central Command added that he believed if U.S. troops remained in Afghanistan for a further 10 days, “we wouldn’t have gotten everybody out … and there still would’ve been people who would’ve been disappointed.” LOSER!
Remember: US Officials: Lists of Names (of Americans and Afghans trying to flee) Were Shared With Taliban (The Epoch Times) Secretary of State Antony Blinken and national security adviser Jake Sullivan confirmed at least SOME of the information was shared with the Taliban.

US Marine Resigns, Seeking Accountability From Military Leaders Over Afghanistan Withdrawal
(The Epoch Times) The U.S. Marine dismissed from command after criticizing senior military leadership on the handling of the U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, announced on Sunday that he is resigning his commission.
“I’m currently not pending legal action and I could stay in the Marine Corps for another three years, but I don’t think that’s the path I am on. I’m resigning my commission as a United States Marine effective now,” Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller said in his latest video shared on his personal Facebook and LinkedIn accounts. “I am forfeiting my retirement, all entitlements, I don’t want a single dollar.”
Scheller defended his first video from Aug. 26, criticizing the sloppy Afghanistan withdrawal, calling for “accountability of my senior leaders” over “obvious mistakes....”
“...All I asked for was accountability, for people to...say, ‘Yes, mistakes were made.’ ... had they done that I would have gone back into rank-and-file, submitted, and accomplished what I wanted,” Scheller said.
Scheller acknowledged that he was forgoing a pension fund and benefits, but said that chasing after “stability and money” makes people a “slave to the system” and makes them compromise on their principles.
“I don’t need a single dollar. I just need every single person that’s willing to go back outside the wire every single day to wear a blue collar, and just go into work every single day and feed their families,” he said. “Those are the people that I need. Follow me and we will bring the whole [expletive] system down.” WHOA.
NOT READ: BACKGROUND
Scheller’s initial video posted the same day 13 U.S. troops and more than 100 Afghans were killed in an attack outside Kabul’s main airport.
The terrorist group ISIS-K (K for Karzai), an ISIS affiliate, claimed responsibility for the Aug. 26 attack, although self-declared acting president, Afghanistan’s former Vice President Amrullah Saleh, claimed he believes the Taliban was involved in the bombing. YEAH RIGHT!
Sleepy Joe Biden stated on Saturday following the attack: “The 13 service members that we lost were heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of our highest American ideals and while saving the lives of others. Their bravery and selflessness has enabled more than 117,000 people at risk to reach safety thus far. May God protect our troops and all those standing watch in these dangerous days.” (WHAT A PHONY!)
Lawyers Help Airline Workers Land Religious Waivers Against COVID-19 Vaccines
(The Epoch Times) A Florida-based coalition of lawyers says that it’s going to represent thousands of U.S. airline workers seeking a religious exemption from mandatory China / Commie Virus vaccines.
Liberty Counsel! Nice. LC.org is their website.
International group Liberty Counsel advocating for religious freedom, said at least 3,000 employees representing 15 airlines in the United States and abroad have come forward asking for legal help.
“We’re working with people in a lot of different airlines,” Liberty Counsel founder and Chairman Mat Staver (Mat with one “t,” who's been on JLP!) told The Epoch Times. “They come directly to us to contact us. [The number is] quite large.”
Staver said the airline workers include pilots, flight attendants, baggage handlers, and gate checkers—“all are represented.”
“We basically walk them through the process,” he said. “These people were working during the pandemic. Now they’re being told to get the shots or they’re being terminated.”
COMMIE COMPANIES
On Aug. 6, United Airlines became the first major U.S. airline to require mandatory “vaccinations” for all 67,000 employees by Oct. 25 under threat of termination.
The Chicago-based airline estimates 80 percent of employees received the shot, more than 95 percent of pilots.
A United Airlines media relations spokesman told The Epoch Times that the company has a “very narrow reasonable accommodation process for those who qualify for medical or religious exemptions.”
Staver noted the vaccine mandates are causing severe mental stress among airline employees industrywide, resulting in accidents on the ground in some cases.
Staver said United Airlines is also challenging employees to prove their religious conviction to qualify for a religious exemption. To be eligible, he said, they have to show they’re a follower of a recognized religion with a history of opposition to vaccines. They also need to include a letter from the clergy stating their sincere religious belief.
“They’re trying to intimidate them, and in some cases, [employees] believe they have no other alternative,” he said.
EVIL DELTA AND OTHERS
On Aug. 24, Delta Air Lines announced vaccines would be required for an estimated 68,000 employees; about 75 percent complied. Those refusing vaccines get a $200 monthly surcharge.
“We’ve always known the vaccinations are the most effective tool to keep our people safe and healthy in the face of this global health crisis,” Delta CEO Ed Bastian said in a statement. “That’s why we’re taking additional, robust actions to increase our vaccinations rate.”
Earlier in August, Hawaiian Airlines and Frontier Airlines announced mandatory vaccines for their employees. Alaska Airlines is considering implementing a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for its 20,000 employees.
Staver said that despite full legal immunity granted to China Virus vaccine manufacturers, private employers could still be held liable for any adverse reaction to the shots.
As of Aug. 30, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported more than 13,500 deaths associated with COVID-19 injections through its voluntary reporting system.
