Astonishing Exclusive From Mississippi [hundreds if not thousands dead]
Paramedic Rescue Operation | 8-31-05 | My Favorite Headache

Posted on 08/30/2005 10:10:45 PM PDT by My Favorite Headache

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....

You are a loon.

Quix has been one of FR's Grand Champion loons for some time, now.

Or he's an unusually clever troll - some days I'm not sure which.

His posts are awfully similar to those we used to see from the long-banned apocalyptic-post superstar Spirit of Truth.

Just so you know, I worked for AT&T Wireless as a network tech for 5 years. Many celltowers have generators and all have battery back-up. When an emergency is declared, the normal phone lines are blocked and only phones desgnated as "emergency" will work on any channels. These phones are given out to supervisors of rescue teams in situations like this. As My Favorite Headache said her friend was an paramedic so it's quite resonable for him to have a working cell. Also, many towers can transmit tower-to-tower in the event landlines are cut.

Thanks for the info. There has been some discussion on this throughout the thread.

This planet is going to get a lot tougher such sermons from God Himself.

Can the amateur theologizing, will ya?

A God who kills innocents to teach everybody else a lesson is no God at all.

Your finger wagging is getting tiresome. Pitch in and volunteer your services or your money but stop preaching!

I see this is the thread for the Hell Fire and Damnation Crew, huh?

One of many. They love to crawl out of their caves and gloat about human misery.

I agree.

People need to wake up that black helicopters ARE PART OF REALITY in our era.

There are predictions that we'll see lots of them in coming months.

I dread to see that day.

The Salvation Army is the best org. to give to. We have (fortunately) limited flood experience here (S.W. Pa.). My mother-in-law's property flood yearly...(and she does have flood insurance, and it doesn't cover much...but that is another thread). The Red Cross gives 'cleaning kits' (a box w/bottles of bleach/rubber gloves, a mop and broom). These are usually given out at photo ops w/local politician types in tow. Then the Red Cross goes away. They are done. The Salvation Army, however, brings their canteen trucks thru day after day (during the clean up) offering bottled water, boxed meals, etc. The Salvation Army does a huge service.

Quote: How many of the thousands of bodies could you sea from the air when 911 happened? The tsunami?

Original reports were that 15-20,000 people died in the towers. Bill O'Reilly even said it.

Within 24 hours the newspeople were showing the thousands of bodies from the tsunami.

How come the newspeople are not doing it now??

The MSM ain't squeamish.

Are you IN the media?

I'll tell you right now, I'm not, but I've been married to someone who is for twenty years. I know what the roundtable looked like when they declared the Air America scandal "not newsworthy," and how they justified it...do you?

If you can't see the wisdom and truth in what I wrote,

then

I don't think I can help you a shred.

You will meet some . . . hard, sobering, challenging, difficult object lessons in life which will TRY very hard to drive home deeper truths and realities to you.

I'm skeptical you'll learn anything then either.

I think your priorities and understandings about life are terribly, grossly lacking. Perhaps it was your school system.

I've had the police try to keep me quiet when kids screwing around shot my car. Seems they didn't like their phones ringing off the hook with reporters wanting to know about the "sniper" incident. You should have seen their faces when I informed them my wife was a J-school student, and who do they think told the reporters in the first place.

Yeah, but did you have thousands of dead bodies out in plain sight with hundreds of rescue workers around and the vulturous ratings-hungry media ready to broadcast it all?

I think the two situations aren't exactly comparable.

I'm certain that from all states (even a death in Kentucky, a 10-year-old sucked into a culvert) that it will run to near or into five figures, half of whom will never be known for sure.

Well I don't what you can conclude from that. This is the US, that is why they are not showing any bodies. I haven't seen even ONE dead body on television. Have you?

One can only offer wisdom and truth.

One can't make the horse drink.

I suggest you wake up.

Because they're Americans.
Our news will show bodies laying around in Indonesia, Mexico.. wherever..
Mass American Corpses... Not likely on TV.

Hell.
The WTC's were erased from history (movies, shows, etc.).

Hugh Hewitt: I go to Free Republic every day, probably 20 times. I bet you that I've heard every major story first on Free Republic, except for 9/11 (I was broadcasting on 9/11 while it happened). Now there are some nuts at Free Republic, some absolute off the wall goofballs. I always warn my listeners and friends in the blogosphere that you have to learn to work that site to avoid the goofballs, but in terms of having thousands people looking for news and posting it, it is far, far, faster than any of the news services.
