Regarding Ike: I live West of Houston and as of today, Thursday, 9/18, there are still many parts of the city without electricity. As you drive around the city, there are lots of roof damaged homes and many fences and trees down. As to Galveston Island and Boliver Island, the unofficial body count is low but certain Houston Police Department officers are telling friends and family about the bodies that are being stacked and that many floated out to sea. There are few building left standing and almost none that weren't damaged. Even we don't know the truth and we're here. A local newscaster, last Saturday, confronted the Governor of the State saying that it is unprecedented for the government to not allow access to the news media to report on the affected areas for reporting. We are wondering what they are hiding and don't want us to see. FEMA lied saying trucks were "on the way" last Saturday because, anyone doing the timing and math would easily figure out is that Chertoff's statement was a lie unless the trucks were coming from Anchorage, Alaska because it was over 24 hours before they started arriving. The kindness, resiliency, and attitude of the Texans that are affected is amazing. We really take care of each other. We don't wait for the government to come rescue us! When the citizenry of a Republic can no longer depend on their government for the most basic needs of services and protection, then the citizenry no longer needs that government.

Yes even in New Zealand they are treating this MELTDOWN as though it where a piece of chicken stuck in your teeth. All you need is a toothpick.
I am laughing at the lies they are telling even us. It will be okay in a few years and all it means is you need to tighten your belt-spend less and pay off your debts. 
I too thought they would suspend the elections.We heard not a word today about Ike or the devestation. Not a single mention! Shame on New Zealand.
The entire press on this has been shut up.
Feel free to tell me whats really happened and I will pass it on.  |
