Re: [TruthTalk] Soldiers rebuke haunting New Orleans spirits

[knpraise]

You may be right.   I have read the same articles.   It is not the people in the story I do not trust  -  it is the media.  

 

The recent media story, for example,  concerning the newspaper reporter's (Judith Miller) release from jail

 includes comments about her being given permission to reveal her source after her release.   The media forgets to tell the reader that the "source" gave her  release before she went to jail, signed release, and THAT is why the judge cited her for contempt   ---  she refused to reveal her source when she had release to do so.  She was protecting no one.  

 

Back to the N.O. situation.   Regardless of that article you read,   the fact remains that only 6 people died in the dome when it was reported to be 200.   The media was predicting 10,000 dead, in the storm, when the total was a very sad less-than-900.  

 

Or that FEMA responded  in typical fashion  --  no differently than in any other similar disaster.

 

Or that Bush has spent nearly twice as much on programs for the poor than Pants On The Floor Clinton  (191 million verses 370 million)

 

Or that LA has received in the past five years 1.9 billion specifically for levee reconstruction  but took the money and spent it on other things.  

 

I could give you hundreds of examples of media failings  --   intentional and coordinated  --  so the stories of whatever have little bearing on me until I actually hear people say what is being reported.

 

When you have a media as untrustworthy as the one we have here in the States,   I could not care less for a "free" press.   Make laws that force the media to be accountable or get your information form somewhere else. 

 

Anyway  -   when you quote the media to me  ----   you have proven little.

The numbers may have been inflated, but the fear and violence were not. For some reason a lot of Australians

are into jazz and like New Orleans for that reason... so some were caught up in all ot it..  I  read their stories in the

Australian newspapers.  These tourists were terrified and the women were being hit on so they formed groups and

circled the wagons so to speak. Some slept while others watched and no woman went to the toilets without a male

escort.  I've heard it described as "hell" many times by those who experienced it.  Surely every one of these people

are not lying JD.  jt

The news was that there were 200 dead inside the dome, for example.   The fact was very different.   Six died in the dome, four from natural causes.    I have listened to the National Guardsmen reps give an accounting several times on the news,   Judy.   They are not being sent into NO to fight back hordes of pagan pistol packing degenerates. That's what I am saying.    JD

Are you just talking to be talking JD?

I would hope the murder and rape rates for NO are lower now since there are very few left there

I do know that mess is no myth.  We met a convoy of National Guardsmen on their way down there

It was 2 107 Cavalry from Ohio and they were going down to replace 1st.  You need to talk with them

JD.  Mess is putting it mildly.... and as for helping - We are all helping whether we choose to or not.

The gas for this convoy was 1500 gallons at $3.00 per gallon.  Who pays for all that?  Go figure...  jt

Oh TT, I'm sure Izzy would want to evacuate with the murderers and rapists, is this what you want

her to say?  There has already been a rape at the Monroe LA Civic Center, just as their sheriff feared

and yesterday one evacuee stole anothers sneakers before resisting arrest and fighting police

claiming the young boy stole them from him the day before.  It's one thing to stay in your high Colorado

Dylan tower talking and another to get in the middle of all this mess.  So far as I can tell you've not left

for the Gulf Coast either.  jt
