Matt Drudge Suggests Government May Be Lying About Hurricane Matthew
NPR ^

Posted on 10/07/2016 9:45:21 AM PDT by bryan999

Matt Drudge, author of the conservative media site DrudgeReport.com, is being ridiculed over his tweets in advance of Hurricane Matthew's arrival in Florida.

Thursday afternoon and early Friday morning, the conservative firebrand took to Twitter to imply that the storm might not be as powerful as government officials say it is.

First he tweeted: "The deplorables are starting to wonder if govt has been lying to them about Hurricane Matthew intensity to make exaggerated point on climate."

Actually, ‘we’ were watching the George Town weather station for a bit before it went offline. It was consistently measuring sutained over 110MPH and gusts of 130mph+.

Long thread. Lots of Met posters there too. Several posts of the George Town weather station along the way.

Lots of discussion about wind transferrence too. Ie, winds aloft making to the surface. etc.

found the Passatino link (you did not send it to me).

Granted, accurate historical detail. Cat 3, maybe a 4 briefly.

But with currently pressures and wind speeds I can see via sensors, it’s a Cat 2, and a fairly compact one.

Our own Travis McGee can tell us whether it’s real or just a conspiracy.
... Or he will, when power and networking comes back up for him.

all this hurricane is going to do is stir up marine nutrients so the floridians can enjoy cheaper endless shrimp buffets

Now the quibble is: ‘but not where we THINK they should have been’?

The forecast maps I saw said it would be a cat 4 up the FL coast.

The max speed sustained winds I see in that area so far are about 50-55 mph in a small area around St. Augie.

Thanks for the link. Above is a chart of the wind speed from the weather station I cited before. It's easy with a chart to get an idea of sustained wind. The peak reading is highlighted.

A very large AMEN to that!
In my searches of Buoys, weather stations and emails from friends, I came to the same conclusions.
Freepers last night were on this BIG time1

So what “facts” can you believe and what can’t you believe. When you have a government spinning everything to make themselves look good and a media that provides total top cover, what is left?

It is not as if the Govt has not lied to us in the past regarding Global Warming, Climate Change, and Summer Forecasts. They have faked any and all data they can because the data does not support their message. Ice coverage at the poles, polar bears dying off, oceans rising, satellite data of atmospheric data, all have been ‘tweaked’ or faked to produce the desired results. Conspiracy between NASA officials and college professors in Germany and England, et al have been uncovered and exposed. Now NWS and NOAA are getting indignant that we do not trust them because they are pure as driven snow (no pun intended).

And if need be we can begin discussing the IRS, Homeland Security, FDA, State Dept., FBI, etc.

Yes, she lost Florida because the hurricane prevented her people from registering.

I’ve heard before that dead people just won’t register in a hurricane. Go figure.

Shep Smith will be devastated if anyone proves that Matthew wasn’t really as destructive as he wanted it to be. After all, Matthew has to be the result of global warming.

I absolutely love Drudge. What a great service he has done for America—single-handedly taking on the psychopathic sodomite elites to deflect their forced narrative (lies).

MSM is trying to destroy all Common Sense and erase Reason and Logic (Truth (God)) from the minds of our children and normalize slavery/pederasty/vice/insanity (Satanism/Marxism)-—etc. so Slavery will be Freedom, Up is Down, Evil is Good and Boys are Girls.....to collapse all possibility of the ideology which created Modern Science and the US Constitution and the Age of Reason and Modern Science.

All programmed “bots’ who will “think” inside the insane “Box” that the sodomite psychopaths create so all children will be as insane as the cannibals were in South America and literally believe that “Snow is Black” just because the State will tell them it is so.

Get your children out of the Matrix-—off of screens/out of the programming system of mass indoctrination which will destroy virtue in children....it is designed to and it WILL. Psyops have been perfected since they brought all the Nazis Scientists into America (Prescott Bush) so they could use the MK-ultra programming on Americans (Mind Control). All planned and funded by the psychopathic elite Lucifereans who like orgies with children—particularly little boys. (They are all sodomites). Epstein did not just have a “Lolita” ship-—there were boys pimped, also-—just like the Daddy Bush brought into the White House (Franklin Cover-up)-—mainly boys. A Boy-sex ring run by the CIA for control over any “weak” (immoral) politician for life. Now, we have bribed Justices on the SCOTUS. If they can’t be set up and bribed, they are killed, like Scalia. Boys are the main prize in Ancient religious cults (like for the Luciferean Kissinger (a sodomite). Women are just breeders and props and used for “perceptions” in homosexual cultures because evil people like the “Same”-—all puerile—incapable of maturity/morality (loving the “Other”.)

Libido Dominandi-—since the French Revolution! It is how the homomafia works inside the Vatican and with the Banking cartels——rape and bribe and film others raping (esp. the children) and everyone shuts up and is controlled for life. If they go off of the reservation, they are killed or destroyed by the controlled MSM which controls EVERYONE’S perceptions like they did with the hero, Sen. McCarthy for telling the Truth—Truth is BANNED always if people want to live and eat.

The ROT is at the Top and is like the rotten apple in the barrel. Same Effect. We have an evil, rotten Shadow Government cartel which is controlling their compromised puppets (dirt on obama and hillary and billy is LEGION!!!) and so are all their other puppets in ALL our institutions today.

The corruption is so bad, we need to just bomb the whole system to Kingdom Come. TOTALLY ERASE all the unconstitutional laws that have piled up since 1913 when the psychopaths took control of America with their puppet, the evil Pres. Wilson. We are reaping the rewards of having unconstitutional, evil Marxist laws, like the Marxist Federal Reserve and Income Tax; both unconstitutional and is destroying private property rights since its inception and will result in the obliteration of the Constitution (like now).

We have a Vice System now (and it is ALL unconstitutional as Nuremberg Trials reiterated). Evil Law is “null and void”. Rule of Cartel System is what we have, and that SYSTEM has to be ELIMINATED!!!!! IRS-—GONE——NSA-—GONE-—Patriot Act-—GONE, Dept. of Education-—GONE. TSA—GONE. Obamacare—GONE. NO FEDS/STATE control of local police—NONE! ALL unjust, unconstitutional laws are “Null and Void” anyhow. POOF!

I was listening to the radio this morning, and the reporter on the scene was saying that the wind speed observed on the ground was 60 mph, but that wind speeds at altitude were as high as 100 mph.

The national news then came on, saying that winds were 100 mph.

Ever since then, every outlet has been reporting 100 mph.

Who gives a damn what the wind speed is at 2000 ft above the ground? Unless you are in an airplane, which I would not recommend, that figure is irrelevant.

It's an October surprise(Global warming etc bs to help Hillary).

Remember back in 2008?

About a week before the election, NOAA reported that September 2008 was the hottest September ever, by a large margin. It was a big story, and was used to cudgel Republicans, because it was "proof" of Global Warming.

Then, after the election, in Mid November 2008, it was reported that all of the data from Russia in August was "accidentally" copied into September, and that without this error, September 2008 was not particularly warm.

How convenient.

And then, remember the Inauguration in 2009? A few days before, NOAA reported that Arctic Sea Ice was at the lowest level ever recorded. Obama made this very point in his Inaugural Address, saying that the science was settled, etc.

Then, in February 2009, NASA corrected the calibration on the satellite data, and reported that Arctic Sea Ice was actually increasing.

As James Bond would say, the first time is an accident, the second time is a coincidence, and the third time is Enemy Action.
