[sfield86]

[mrrutledge1967]

This was all planned and the majority of people to dumb and or cowardly to do a thing about it! Oh well... It's not the first time people have been mass murdered by the Elite. Some year we will evolve and grow a set of balls and execute people who LIE!

... and 5 days later the levee failed as they said it would. Good effort though. But do you think they said it was a lost cause because they didn't like you, or because they though it was a lost cause?

@hempartist420 The corp has control of the release of water at Fort Peck Dam, if they had released it earlier at a slower rate the flooding would be minimal. They did not release it until it was too late (oops oh hey it rained a lot, it snowed a lot, etc). They had years to lower the lakes HIGH levels but chose not to, the MO River was at a record low the past 2 summers. Do some research, I don't have enough space to educate you.

@hempartist420 It's not rain. Maybe you need to educate yourself on what's going on here. The corps are releasing water from a dam up north at a rate so high/so fast that it's flooding towns from ND to MO. People are evacuating, losing homes, business, crops, animals. If the corps had started to release the water earlier (2 yrs ago), this would have been avoided. Flooding is so big it's going PAST floodplains and our Interstates are washed out. Again, not from rain.

God Bless the Farmers!

i hope hamburg is safe...i was married there.

Way to go farmers! Corps of engineers are useless, and I think over the long run it will come to pass that they actually caused the problem by over levying the whole river.

[cherim]

@studio417 I don't think time has to pass for us to know this was their mistake. I just hope it doesn't get worse than expected. Google Dr. Bernard Shanks, he has some good opinions on this matter.

[NiteStarGirl]

Good for them! I'm proud of these people. I wish we would've had people like them when we had the floods last month. I hope all goes well for them because if they get flooded out, FEMA won't do shit to help them.

[JamesFariello]

Keep fighting for your property. Do not let the morons in Government try to control what your families have lived for in generations past to present. Keep fighting.

[iknewitalready]

Never trust the Government to save your family or the town.

Save yourself from the Government.

[Josephdaz1]

Horrible stuff going on .. :-(

[imbubba56]

A stark contrast between these folk and the one's in New Orleans that sat on their roofs with signs that said "help me". If your waiting on government workers to save you then you have a problem.

The Corp of Engineers looked at their watch and said "it's our break time"...

[JumpnEvolution]

I guess that the locals don't realise that if they abandon their land it becomes property of the usa government,that is why an honest effort on behalf of the gov.is not happening.

[NuttyCookie333]

Putting the small farmers out of business!!! West coast they turned the water off on the farmers. East coast they're using the water against them!! Monsanto's with GMO products can push they're agenda!!

[Josephdaz1]

@NuttyCookie333 I think you're right on that one .. hope more people wake up soon .. time is running out!

[lordcrobar]

These men are real patriots. The rest of the western world could really learn from these heroes.

[Kallister18]

Don't wait and rely on this freakin' inept government to do anything. They were the one's who designed all of this levee crap thinking they could change the course of the mighty Mississippi. Leave it to the self-reliant Iowa farmers to take things into their own hands and when they get that job done send them down river to show the corp how to save towns and farmlands.

God bless and good luck!

[OnlyBoo1]

WAY TO GO FARMERS! WANT A JOB DONE RIGHT , DO IT YOURSELF!

[kiararei]

the hamburgers are revolting

[PrairiePie23]

Riff Raff. Tee hee... is anyone else thinking Rocky Horror. I think he meant rip rap.

[SSArt98]

@PrairiePie23 Thought the same thing!

Damn it Janet, I meant rip rap.

:)

[andreo]

@PrairiePie23 I was actually thinking of Riff Raff from the Underdog cartoon...

[RCvolunteer1978]

good for YOU ! That IS THE American way of doing things be ready to help your self and the people of your neiborhood Fight with every thing you have then look for those bean counters to give you very little months pass the the time that it could HELP

[Polydynamix]

Don't let go of your land, stand together, rebuild and succeed- you've been betrayed by your own government again.

[Agomongo1235]

y nt jst mov bak so that u can hav mor time building?

[JogBird]

Army Core of Engineers =/= soldiers

[schwartsbruder]

Looks like the NWO want more land for themselves! DOWN WITH THE NWO!

[wtf0804]

@schwartsbruder  If the "NWO" want's the land. Why would they flood it?

[ramv36]

@wtf0804 Mainly because it's quite difficult to defend land that is under several feet of water. Once you're gone, it's that much easier for the govt to ride in on the wings of angels to 'rescue' you.....by 'buying' your land at a minuscule fraction of its actual value.

It's basically nature-assisted eminent domain....no wait, actually that is exactly what it is.

I'm really surprised these farmers haven't been arrested for not complying with Federal orders to flee their property.

[schwartsbruder]

Seriously the core engineers are either planning on moving the whole population to a designated area.

[Kimw1967]

Great job guys, keep the core of engineers out of your town so that you can take it back. They have no business being there trying to destroy your livelihoods.

[schwartsbruder]

The weather is getting pretty bad.

[cherim]

@schwartsbruder weather isn't doing this.
