WTF--Get a Load of this FEMA and Bush Corruption Happening Now!

[DemocracyInaction]

This has been all over tv here in Maine yesterday and today. We have 400-500 trucks hired by FEMA unloading ice in Portland. The trucks are stacked from here to hell and back as they unload only 4 or 5 trucks a day. The drivers have been here for weeks and are receiving a minimum of $800 a day to sit and wait. A portion of this is ice diverted from Houston as it was traveling to NO in the wake of the disaster! But it gets better....

Local news reporters were trying to film and get a story. FEMA drove cars, vans, etc. in front of their cameras to block shots. They warned the reporters that if they aired remarks of some of the drivers, that all these drivers would no longer receive contracts (in other words, these boys will find you and kill you if that happens).

Then today, a local anchor on this morning was almost bursting out laughing into the camera. She had a "what the fuck" look on her face as she announced that Bush has declared Maine and New Hampshire Federal Disaster Areas (thus shoveling a barrel of money our way) because we have 70 evacuees from NO up in this neck of the woods. Ohhhhh, wouldn't those "liberals are going to tax you to death" tightwad base of his just love to see how these filthy carpetbaggers and vultures are burning money (YOUR MONEY, MORONS) to line their greedy friends pockets. And it looks like junior is throwing money (YOUR MONEY, MORONS)all over the country to win back his "popularity". These guys smell like a dead whale.

1. The level of corruption in this admin

4. anna---indeed. My thoughts exactly

They are so busy at the national level of mainstream media to hype up Rita and show how our mighty president, his bro, FEMA and all the corrupt bastards are now fully in control and protecting the American people like "super heroes". This was broadcast to an entire state. You would think that maybe they might want to "mention" it! But hell if they did it would blow the propaganda blitz that we are currently being treated to.

8. Olberman's been following the story, and I also caught another

blurb on MSM, so there hasn't been a TOTAL blackout, not like what happened with the election fraud.

3. Any newspaper coverage?

A link would be great.

5. The story of the ice trucks just gets weirder

First they were sitting outside Memphis and not being allowed to come into New Orleans area.

Then there is a story that many of these ice trucks are transporting corpses away from south so that more teams can be working on IDing them. Now they are in Maine?

Be sure to target Anderson Cooper, Brian Williams, those who's coverage was dead honest and still continues to be.

11. Cooper reported this last night n/t

13. He is right on top of everything. These other reporters should take note

of what he's doing.

9. Well, Kennebunkport has obviously been the source

if not the site of many disasters for decades, so its not entirely suprising it has metasticized to other parts of the state.

12. Are these truckers "Independents" or are they Teamsters?

Have Teamsters decided to accept less than Davis-Bacon? Teamsters appear to be working from within to destroy the Unions. I wonder why. I guess Hoffa has met a Crime Boss he can get along with. Bush*
