This disaster is a real bitch. It's the worst
in the entire history of our country. People are already playing
the "blame game". They're blaming the mayor of New
Orleans, the governor of Louisiana, the U.S. army, the U.S.
government, the engineers who built the levees, and on and on
and on. But the truth is…

To sum it all up, I'd like to help but I don't
know how. If any of you have any ideas, please share them with
me via email at [email protected].

In the meantime, I think the best thing we can
do right now is simply... pray for these people.

Sincerely,

Gary C. Halbert

P.S. By the way, the hurricane season is only HALF over.
And this month (September) is normally the worst month of the entire
season. By far. And the weather conditions which caused
Hurricane Katrina are still present. Matter of fact, I
understand those conditions are getting
worse.

But you know what? The American people... not the American
government... but the American people are perhaps the most
generous, giving, creative and inventive people on earth.
We WILL work this out. We WILL find a way to help
the victims of this (and other) disasters.

We ARE going to fix this situation. I don't know how we're
going to do it... yet. But I have complete confidence that
working together we're going to discover a way to fix it.

We always do.

Peace.

Dear Friend & Subscriber,

I want to thank all of you who replied to
the message on this website which was posted yesterday
(September 1, 2005).

I wish I could personally respond to each
and every email sent to me but there aren't enough
hours in the day for me to…

I believe I now have, to the best of my
ability, come up with a few ideas to help people who have
been ravaged by this monster hurricane.

First, I'd like to say very emphatically...

It's Not Over!

Not by a long shot. Even if all of the water
in New Orleans somehow "magically" evaporated in the next…

Mold is caused by moisture. Having mold in
your house is like living with an invisible Saddam Hussein
who is sneaking around spraying the most toxic chemicals
known to man into the place you live. People get very sick
from the effects of mold. The diseases caused by mold are
too numerous to mention. A lot of people actually die…

Well, as far as moisture is concerned, I
think right now, New Orleans, Louisiana, might be considered
the "Moisture Capital of the World". What I'm trying to say
is this: Many of the people of New Orleans are never
going to be able to safely live in their homes again.

That is, of course, also true for many of
the people who lived in nearby Mississippi and Alabama and
whose lives have been shattered by this cataclysmic
hurricane.

But wait! There's more!

The hurricane season is only half over. If
you watch the Weather Channel, you know new tropical
depressions are already in the Atlantic Ocean as I
write…

Not only that, because of global warming,
scientists say we can expect horrible hurricane seasons of
this nature to continue...

For At Least The Next 10 To 15 Years!

I think I have good ideas about what we
should do. But before I discuss and reveal my ideas, I want
to discuss how you can help the
victims of Hurricane…

Right off the bat, I'd like to say that as
far as I am concerned, raising money is the easy part.
Seeing to it the money is spent intelligently is the part
that's really difficult.

President Bush has already pledged 10
Billion Dollars to help relieve the sufferings of the
hurricane victims. To me, that statement offers no…

After reading your replies about the Red
Cross and FEMA, I feel very comfortable in saying neither of
those organizations should ever, ever receive a dime of your
money.

Many of my newsletter readers recommended money be sent
to something called "Catholic Charities". I think Catholic
Charities might be an excellent and ethical organization.
But I certainly don't want…

Other readers suggested we donate to the
Salvation Army. I think that's sort of a good idea. At least
it's much better than donating to the Red Cross. But the
Salvation Army has overhead... and... I believe they do not have
the skills and organizational ability to do what's needed to
be done.

That Leaves Me An Option

I Can't Believe I Would

Have Ever Endorsed!

In a few minutes I'm going to let you read
something one of my readers sent to me. This will
explain to you who... and... more importantly WHY... you should donate money to
in order to help victims of disaster.

But before I share that with you, I'd like
to tell you what I think (after a lot of prayer and thought)
really needs to be done to help these victims.

First, I think we should establish several
safe haven "tent cities". I think these tents should be
erected on wooden or cement platforms. Each of them should
contain…

Think of it this way: Suppose you
are an "arm chair hunter" and you want to go on a luxurious
safari to Africa. Say you've hired a company to book this
trip and make all the arrangements for you. That would
include your living quarters while you were in the jungle hunting lions and
elephants and whatever other species…

In addition to the tents erected to provide
living quarters for the victims of this (or any) natural
disaster, there would be other tents set up to give medical
assistance. Just think of the way it was done in the popular
T.V. series "MASH" and you'll get the idea.

All of the power necessary to keep these
facilities functional would be supplied by gasoline or
diesel-operated generators.

I think we should erect these "cities" in
several locations across the United States... because...
these natural disasters are not going to stop coming. I
think we should prepare for them in advance. That's
something we don't do any…

You'll notice I haven't addressed the
problem of evacuating people and getting immediate medical
supplies to those people who have epileptic fits, convulsions,
heart attacks, or who need dialysis to stay alive. I don't
think we, as civilians, can do this. This requires
helicopters, military people trained in search and rescue,
and others who possess skills which…
