It is with heavy heart I write this...
I have finally reconnected with my best friend who is a paramedic who was sent from Georgia 2 days ago to Gulf Port, Mississippi before the hurricane hit.
He just reached me within the last 10 mins via emergency cell phone to tell me he was alive.
Thousands of bodies have been discovered throughout Mississippi in Gulf Port, Waveland,Hancock County,Bay of St.Louis.
They are hanging in trees and they are pulling them out 30 at a time. Entire families found drowned in their homes and washing up on shore.
The stories he could tell me were brief. National Guard is on the scene and arresting anyone seen on the streets.
The numbers are staggering and what I have been told tonight will shake people to their foundation as the numbers will be coming out in the next 24-hours of just how many people have actually perished in these and 3 other beach communities.
More to follow....
I agree. Unless the mods tell us a good reason why MFH was banned, then I'm thinking something's rotten in Denmark.
You remember those days too eh? ;-)
The best reason to keep it quiet was posted earlier. They don't want thousands of people coming into the area looking for family members. That will hamper both rescue and recovery operations. It also increases the number people that will have to be cared for (food, shelter etc.).
So will the mods, apparently.
But don't hold your breath waiting for either.
As always.
But this is America. And I don't buy the argument that people who are looking for loved ones will less likely to come and look because they think there is a higher chance they are dead. And I am tired of having things kept from the American people. We need to know what we are dealing with so that we feel inclined to help.
If MFH got banned/suspended for posting the Fox story thread that was quickly pulled since it was "speculation", then every twit that reposts every Joseph Farah terror scare article 20 times every week should be banned/suspended as well.
I love the way folks always scream conspiracy theories when things don't line up accordingly.

MFH has been banned for no reason.
Thanks lj. There are none so blind as those who will not see.
I concur and request that MFH be reinstated.
He is a well-known Freeper with a long history......I am clueless as to why you would ban him for reporting what he has found out WHEN HE IS A JOURNALIST HIMSELF.
Effectively, you banned him for posting a story he developed.
I don't get it. If this was all speculation, I could understand the action, and some of the statements of coverup allegations on here have been over-the-top.
But, I don't see how his post was.
I know you must be quite busy with all the stuff going on now, but I request you reinstate MFH.

"Censorship is a government issue which doesn't apply to PRIVATE PROPERTY. Get a life." Admin Mod

Want to know how low FR moderators have sunk...just read this, posted by one of the AdminMOds...say, can I get one of those brown shirts like you wear too???
One has to wonder if JimRob has, like Janet Reno, gone into a mental decline because of his disease, and is being used by a bunch of neoconservative fascists. I know, this message will be zotted by the AdminSS, but there are many of us old timers who have been banned from FR, not because we are disruptive, but because we question the status quo. The current admin mods are a farce, a bunch of wannabee TSA or government bureaucrats...you all should go over and apply to sniff people's luggage.
Is this the legacy of JimRob...a bunch of pointy head neocons hovering over their computers, waiting to pounce on the people who question their elistism? Yeah, this is a private forum...so they think that people who contribute to it should be held to the censorship standard of the government, and call that ok???
This got posted. But it should serve as a warning. You better start reviewing all posts before they get posted, to prevent these embarrassing enlightenments...worked for Stalin.
Krambrain?
I join you, rw, in asking for the reinstatement of MFH. He is an outstanding journalist and brought us many a scoop during the 2000 election fiasco in Florida. He has also uncovered exclusive info on terrorists living on San Marcos Island.
Why, admin mod, would you listen to a bunch of ignorant whiners instead of to a loyal, responsible, dependable FReeper?
This banning/or hopefully temporary suspension of MFH is unbelievable.
Look at all these others articles corroborating what he posted.
Also, I know one who was in Charlie last yr., the deaths were grossly underreported. He was retired military...and took lots of pictures
You know I've seen websites with 'pictures' from people that proved we never landed on the moon either
I love the way folks always scream conspiracy theories when things don't line up accordingly.
Things are lining up just fine for those of us that live in a world where the sky is blue and the grass is green. Major disaster and there may be thousands dead in NO when it's all said and done. For those of us in the world of refrigerator trucks carrying off dead bodies, I still haven't seen you explain how they 'cover up' all these missing people after the fact
Which is rather a strange irony, since he started this 2500 post thread...
