FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

There was almost palpable disappointment among the TV big guns rolled out for the occasion when Irene was downgraded to a mere ‘tropical storm”. In New York city, CNN’s silver-haired Anderson Cooper, more usually seen in a tight t-shirt in a famine or war zone, was clad in what one wag dubbed “disaster casual”.
He looked crestfallen and fell briefly silent when a weatherwoman told him that the rain was not going to get any worse. “Wow, because this isn’t so bad,” he said. “It’s an annoying rain but it isn’t even a sideways rain.”
Then came the press conferences from the politicians, with Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey insisting that his evacuation of the Jersey Shore was “a pre-emptive measure that I am confident saved lives” and there could still be damage worth “tens of billions” of dollars.
Janet Napolitano, the Homeland Security chief, declared that there was “a ways to go with Irene” but “with the evacuations and other precautions taken we have dramatically decreased the risk to life”. Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York seemed thoroughly delighted with himself, as if he personally had calmed the waters and stifled the winds.
The truth is that the dire warning beforehand suited both politicians and journalists. Just as with the minor earthquake that shook the east coast last week causing no loss of life and virtually no damage, Irene became a huge story because it was where the media lived.

A little wake-up call
” Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York seemed thoroughly delighted with himself, as if he personally had calmed the waters and stifled the wind “
A) This was just misdirection and something that they did not want us to see was happening while they gave 24 x 7 coverage of Irene.
B) New Yorkers and east coasters really are cream puffs afraid of a little wind and water and therefore cry like little babies when it comes.
Pick one!
Irene was a pussy compared to a nor’easter. Some leaves and twigs flew around. Lost power, but that happens in a thunder storm here in kick-ass Infra-Guard-Safe-America. Winter is coming soon, cold fucking winter and no global warming yet from those egg headed assholes.

MY THOUGHTS exactly!!! What was REALLY going on….Hmmmm ….The hype made NO sense at all….all you had to do was watch the radar and use your brain…

Seeking the REAL story
Hyping was a distraction, an opportunity for Barry as elections come closer, a chance for the Fed’s to crack down and set an example for others and who knows the crying wolf might make people lackadaisical in a real emergency so the Fed’s can really clamp down with martial law? At any rate with a hurricane’s warning “it’s a crisis too good to let go to waste.”
