Isn't it interesting AIG is getting bailed out and there is a media blackout on the aftermath of Hurricane Ike? Strange coincidences.
"We don't have a working, functioning hospital, and people are getting sick,"
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/15/us/15galveston.html?ref=todayspaper&pagewanted=printScary there is no hospital that functions,during the recovery because there was a biological weapons lab in Galveston.You'd think that it would be a high priority to keep people from catching or spreading any possible biological contaminants that could have escaped during the storm..making sure people were not infected as they flee,the devastation. But no-oo..the republican piggies only care about their own public IMAGE and making sure they get more money and perks.
http://capitolannex.com/2008/09/14/is-texas-governor-rick-perry-imposing-a-media-blackout-in-areas-hardest-hit-by-hurricane-ike/Never mind that there is or was a bio-lab at Galveston that was working with level 4 biological contagions.The nastiest of biological agents that could be infecting people.Be they returning to the area seeing their wrecked homes salvaging what they can and leaving,the people still in the area and those leaving the areas hit by Ike.Some may be taking who knows what infections with them to where ever they may go.
http://www.utwatch.org/archives/backyardbioweapons.htmlThis is one of the pathogens the Galveston lab was tinkering with.
http://news.smashits.com/291075/Scientists-uncover-chin...There are more dead bodies than reported,many in the Bolivar Peninsula and in Galveston and neighboring areas than the media says there are. One reason is it takes a while for dead bodies to float and wash ashore.So the death tolls climb higher and if a cemetery is underwater the coffins float and the bodies in them get washed out too. Looks like a perfect environment to incubate nasty pathogens and with injured sick or stressed people wading through this muck they will be vulnerable to catching them..
The public seeing Katrina's aftermath didn't bode well for the thugs running this country.It made them look like the incompetent self absorbed, bully assholes they really ARE....So before the storm even got here they wanted the media to censor itself and not photograph the dead bodies or tell of the magnitude of the ruin left behind after Ike.It might influence people so close to election season and with McCain looking so bush and lame and Paulin so cultie and sick....
http://openthread.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/9/17/135626/265/331/601743Could it be the public grasping the presence of Bio-weapons,dead bodies and the threat of an outbreak from the infected victims left untreated who are fleeing their ruined lives,Could it be this is what these thugs want censored.They don't want to let the public put 2 and 2 together? .
http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/texassouthwest/stories/DN-ikelab_17tex.ART.State.Edition1.26c6886.htmlBecause that kind of awareness would scare the public ,maybe and point to the insanity of even building a bio research lab next to a sea wall,in a place vulnerable to disasters..and with no functioning hospital..It would also expose the greed,corruption and incompetence of the Republicans,the military and their Corporate buddies and the 'shock doctrine' of their failed cannibalizing economics so clearly It would make them un-trustworthy and hated forever.Hated to the point the gravy train these pigs expect is ground to a halt?

Texas A&M University lost its chance to host NBAF when it was hit with a Centers for Disease Control reprimand for unreported lab-safety foulups. The letter cited missing vials of infectious diseases and lab-worker exposure to the pathogens that cause brucellosis and Q-fever.
Finally, according to the Biodefense Research Forum, many past mistakes and mishaps in biosafety labs have never been reported, because those involved had their funding and reputations to protect.
http://butnerblogspot.wordpress.com/2008/03/26/a-bio-gamble-and-the-germs-next-door/On Galveston Island, authorities are trying to locate and evacuate some 10,000 people who ignored the dire warnings to flee the hurricane or “face certain death.”
http://cnnwire.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/15/crews-search-fo... /
900 people were rescued from rooftops during Ike,and dead fish are caught in fences.So you know there are dead people not being talked about.
