Under what logic is FEMA cutting phone lines?

[SlowDownFast]

There's been at least 5 links (from trustworthy sources) that say that FEMA is cutting phone lines in NO area.

What is the logic of this?

1. Disrupt the information flow...

:cry:

[joanne]

2. "FEMA" and "logic" simply do not go together

The head of it couldnt run a boy scout meeting, let alone a national disaster.

3. Call them and ask: [phone]

[cthrumatrix]

4. either to hide bad stuff or stuff that will happen... criminal

6. Bingo!!!!

5. Logic?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

7. It's not FEMA! It's Homeland Security.

FEMA is the lightning rod. Homeland Security uses FEMA to do the dirt work.

Fascism. Control of information. propaganda.

Where's Dick?

Why isn't Chertof being asked why he denied food and water to dying babies?

Brown is a buffoon, the stooge groomed to take the fall.

Don't play their game.

8. I can understand downed lines

but why did local officials say they were sending folks out to REPAIR and PROTECT them from FEMA?

We need more info on this. Anyone able to find more links or maybe a phone numbers and/or calls to local officials in that area to confirm this?

9. They are pissed because

the state is setting up their own fund and relief programs, the very things the Fed was pointing the fickle finger of blame.
The State is leapfrogging the incompetent Fed.
Fupp FEMA.

10. the local law enforcement should ARREST them

let them explain themselves in court.

12. If this story is really true

and they are in fact cutting down lines that stranded people could still use to call for help, it is indeed disturbing.

I'm trying to find some other logical explaination, but I can't seem to come up with one.

If this story is indeed true, WE GOT SOME SERIOUSLY DISTURBING ELEMENTS TO THIS CATASTROPHE, if there weren't some already...

I'm just hoping someone can take the initiative to expose it for what it is...

phone numbers of officials or press to confirm before they all get booted out....

13. Here is the transcript.

http://thinkprogress.org/2005/09/04/worst-abandonments/

The president of Jefferson Parish in New Orleans, Aaron Broussard:

"Yesterday — yesterday — FEMA comes in and cuts all of our emergency communication lines. They cut them without notice. Our sheriff, Harry Lee, goes back in, he reconnects the line. He posts armed guards and said no one is getting near these lines…"

15. Here's the part of transcript that this thread is interested in...

"Yesterday — yesterday — FEMA comes in and cuts all of our emergency communication lines. They cut them without notice. Our sheriff, Harry Lee, goes back in, he reconnects the line. He posts armed guards and said no one is getting near these lines…"

11. Stasi Logic, NKVD logic, Gestapo logic, Sith logic.....

The logic that says that we have to hide the truth lest the mightey leader be embarassed. The logic where protection of the elites reputation outweighs protection of citizens lies.

The old republic is dead.

[DoYouEverWonder]

14. They'll just blame it on the weather.

n/t

16. EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION LINES

were cut down and sheriffs vowed to protect them after they were repaired...

as per above

[Igel]

17. I'd like to see the other links.

The three you cite all boil down to the same witness(es), who actually never get cited.


JP prez can have the greatest character and reputation on earth, but it's all dependent on whether or not his sheriff is passing along the info correctly.

And the sheriff can be of sterling renown, but if his deputies are wrong, he's wrong.

Anybody actually talk to the witnesses? I.e., to the people that saw it first hand?

[SlowDownFast]

18. That's a good question.

Anybody care to give me the number to this guy?

I'll call.

Anybody else wanna find out the truth to this?

All I know is HE SAID IT on MTP...

19. Contain, control, crush

kill, experiment, torture...you know, daily BFEE business.

20. My honest opinion?

They want the people using the phone lines to call for help to die so they don't have to bother with rescuing them.
