Dit is z wr...

De volgende hel wordt het vluchtelingenkamp in Oklahoma: You can't bring any clothes in. [...] We lugged the bags of clothes back to the car. [...] We lugged the bags of female products back to the car. [...] We then started lugging in our food products. [...] they will remain within the camp for the next 5 months. [...] We then lug all food products requiring cooking back to the car. [...] she must take all the breakfast cereal back. [...] the vegetables and fruit. "You'll have to take that back as well." Erg aardig om al die spullen te doneren, maar volgens de FEMA veroorzaken ze alleen maar ongeregeldheden. - Above Top Secret

"a Gretna Sheriff showed up, jumped out of his patrol vehicle, aimed his gun at our faces, screaming, "Get off the fucking freeway" [...] As we retreated, the sheriff loaded up his truck with our food and water. [...] The two young guardsmen apologized for the limited response of the Louisiana guards. They explained that a large section of their unit was in Iraq [...] The airport had become another Superdome. [...] flights were delayed for several hours while George Bush landed briefly at the airport for a photo op. [...] We were placed on buses and driven to a large field where we were forced to sit for hours and hours. Some of the buses did not have air-conditioners. In the dark, hundreds if us were forced to share two filthy overflowing porta-potties. Those who managed to make it out with any possessions (often a few belongings in tattered plastic bags) we were subjected to two different dog-sniffing searches. [...] Most of us had not eaten all day because our C-rations had been confiscated at the airport because the rations set off the metal detectors. Yet, no food had been provided to the men, women, children, elderly, disabled as they sat for hours waiting to be "medically screened" to make sure we were not carrying any communicable diseases. [...] Throughout, the official relief effort was callous, inept, and racist." - EMS Network

Drie studenten van Duke university, North Carolina wisten enkele dagen geleden met valse perskaarten langs de National Guard te glippen en door te dringen tot het centrum van New Orleans. Na twee 'missies' wisten ze seven mensen uit de stad te evacueren en met familie te herenigen. - Herald Sun Durham

Ook een manier om orkaanslachtoffers acuut van de verdrinkingsdood en verhongering te redden: " Republican leaders said they were considering an economic stimulus package that probably would include tax relief for hurricane victims." - LA Times

Elf republikeinen hebben zojuist tegen de goedkeuring voor het reddingspakket van 51 G$ gestemd. Lees er meer over in Team Hate America van Oliver Willis

En verder...

Whoopsi Gras van Mark Fiore - Katrina-tijdlijn Nog een FEMA-fuckup: evacuatie naar de verkeerde Charleston Brandweermannen moeten folders uitdelen Senator: "niet evacueren [geen auto hebben] moet strafbaar worden" Heb je hulp nodig van de FEMA, maar gebruik je Mac OS X of Linux? Ga maar lekker dood bel ons dan (als de telefoon werkt) John Steward van de Daily Show is net terug van vakantie: "Heb ik iets gemist?" (excellente tijdlijn)

ik zie zoveel links, ben gewoon bang deze hier neer te plempen, maar vond op volkomenkutstijl.com dit mooie filmpje, dat maar eens te duidelijk maakt dat racisme ik aanpak new orleans flink doorschijnt en ramp eigenlijk nog erger maakt:

waarom vind ik die recent comments niet terug onder de topic(s) ?!

bosmeester, doe daar wat aan!

3. dxtr commented on 2005/9/9, 8.30 h:

Voor de Mac heb je nog wel IE 5. Met een beetje geluk doet die het ook...

Van die comment van choco kan ik geen chocola maken. En dan met name de zinsnede vanaf "dat maar eens".

4. dxtr commented on 2005/9/9, 9.00 h:

Als de mensenlevens dan toch in jouw handen liggen, waarom zou je dan geen misbruik maken van die positie?

5. dxtr commented on 2005/9/9, 9.08 h:

En hier, hier en hier nog wat foto's.

6. goodie2shoes commented on 2005/9/9, 9.13 h:

tja, voor wat hoort wat...

Erg goed stukje door Ed Helms uit the daily show...! Scherpe humor.

Van het stukje van Above Top Secret (zie nieuwe link bovnaan):

He then points to the vegetables and fruit. "You'll have to take that back as well. It looks like you've got about 10 apples there. I'm about to bring in 40 men. What would we do then?"

My mother, in her sweet, soft voice says, "Quarter them?"

"No ma'am. FEMA said no...

It could cause a riot. You don't understand the type of people that are about to come here...."

I turn and walk out of the room...lugging all the healthy stuff back to the car. My son later tells me the man went on to say "We've already been told of teenage girls delivering fetuses on buses." My son steps toward him and says "That's because they've almost been starved to death, haven't had a decent place to get a good night's sleep, and their bodies can't keep a baby alive. I'm not sure that's any evidence some one should be using to show these are 'bad people'."

Waarom horen we zo weinig van John Kerry, eigenlijk?

10. Arduenn commented on 2005/9/9, 11.03 h:

Geen idee. Die houdt zich afzijdig van de pers, wellicht. Net als Al Gore. Die is gewoon bezig met hulp, zonder daar credit voor te nemen.

De 'go fuck yourself'-opmerking maakte Cheney laatst naar een senator. de knaap uit het clipje herhaalde die woorden en kreeg daarop te maken met de M16's en handboeien van de geheime dienst:

I.d.d. Nu je het zegt. Dat was ook een redelijke rel enkele maanden geleden.

Ben Fucking Marble for president!

15. Ben Marble, M.D. commented on 2005/9/18, 8.31 h:

well i can not read most of this but i think this is a German site and i visited Germany back in 2002 when i went to Munich and Frankfurt. So i will say i loved Germany and had a wonderful time.

thanks

ben

During the second world war this was a German site. So you're almost right, Ben.

But now this is mostly a Dutch site.
