Some idiot commenter on Firedoglake was spreading a rumor that after Ike, a refinery worker she knew had flown over the Galveston Bay area marshes in a helicopter and seen thousands of bodies.

First, I live in the NASA area which is on Galveston Bay so I’m probably a little more informed that someone on firedoglake. There was a no-fly over Bolivar Peninsula (where my family lost it’s cat 5 rated cabin) and one over west Galveston Island. Make no mistake that there were bodies washing ashore. You can’t hunker down in a strip of land that is only a few hundred yards wide in some areas and expect to survive a storm surge of that magnatude. It is well-known that several elderly people took refuge in a school/church/something (I forget) and, last I heard, they haven’t been seen.

My next door neighbor is a fireman and he has pulled bodies out of the water. But thousands? Not likely, but the body count is not complete. We still have no idea how many stayed on Bolivar and the locals won’t leave for “only” a cat 2 storm but it certainly has nothing to do with a political cover-up. That’s ridiculous. Everyone, including Rick Perry, was begging people to leave the peninsula and those without a seawall on the west end. Those that stayed were told to write their SSN on their arm so their bodies could be identified later. He would have nothing to gain by covering a body count up unless he used his powerful position to send the storm into his own state. Besides, a “no flyover” is a no flyover. That means not even some imaginary refinery worker would be allowed.

The no-flyover was so the news crews did not film even one body before the next-of-kin issues were resolved. The news crews did take boats over to those areas not to mention the thousands of residents who live inland but along the bay and they haven’t reported thousands of bodies in the water.

Don’t get me wrong and construe this as backing up some nut at firedoglake. There aren’t thousands but I don’t believe the body count will remain in the teens.

[...] Normally, we’d dismiss this kind of idiocy, but this is no ordinary idiot. McKinney is a former member of Congress and a candidate for President on a party that wants to claim national legitimacy. This shows the intellectual level of the Greens, but it also puts in play yet another baseless conspiracy theory about Katrina and its aftermath.

This woman needs advanced treatment now. It wouldn’t be an election cycle without Cynthia McKinney’s lunacy, and fortunately she hasn’t shied away from providing it.

Jones is certifable! Did you see the video of him chasing MMalkin around Denver? What a tool. I do think he truly beleives what he says though.

It’s hard sometimes to think that’s what some people believe we’ve done overseas and what they beleive their own soldiers are capable of.

Hawkdriver, I read a little story about conspiracies where people believe in the perfection of government cover-ups or something phrased similarly. The more nefarious the deed, the easier it is to keep it secret. They are deluded into believing that the government that could not hide the atomic bomb from Stalin can hide every other dirty little secret.

I found Alex Jones on shortwave radio back in ‘03. He claimed that the US government was going to release sarin gas on our troops just to justify the invasion of Iraq. He even had a “guest” who claimed that he entered Iraq secretely and planted sarin explosives. Jones has been screaming “detention camps” since 2003. The man is a lunatic who should be institutionalized, or else he is a shrewed businessman who has found all of those suckers that P.T.Barnum spoke about.
