Robert Redmond is a Hurricane Katirna survivor, born and raised in south Louisiana.
After the storm, he was among the thousands who went through most of the insurance claims processes and scams. He also went through most of the intended government aid processes which were basically useless to homeowners. As like most everyone who flooded, very little aid made it to those who the aid was intended.
Through these processes, he witnessed outright obstruction by most agencies of the federal government, which kept aid from the intended victims.
He is a retired Merchant Marine Captain who worked in the oilfield indutry throughout the world for 15 year.s He witnessed the fall of governments, civil wars, and collapses of entire economies in other countries--overnight.
He opened and owned my own school in the Florida Keys. He was teaching other Captains weather, navigation and celestial navigation for 7 years.
After losing all in hurricane Andrew that hit the school in Homestead, Florida he returned to his home in South Louisiana.
He then went back to College and earned a degree in Computer Network Technology. At the same time earned Comptia A+ and Network + certifications along with his Microsoft Certified Professional. After working in the computer network industry, he went to work in advertising and marketing with Gannett Publishing in Houma, La. While working there full time, he compiled information and wrote this book in his off time.
The Katrina Puzzle: America's Disgrace was written to inform Americans of the real national threat of losing South Louisiana's oil refining and gas production for next storms. Capt. Redmond wants America understand this danger, so that we can protect our energy resourses from those greedy few who will wreck the U.S. economy if not stopped. We have very little time left.
He will inform the readers of these problems and offer common sense solutions to prevent a national economic tragedy that is closer to happenning that everyone would like to think.
In a country as addicted to oil as we are in America, the only thing between stability and unaffordable energy is South Louisiana. Without protecting this most valuable energy resource, this country faces grave shortages of gasoline! It will effect everyone in the U.S. We are very close to losing it all, if we do not take immediate action to protect one of the nation's most valuable energy assets.
