Right wingers attack new type of ambulance, calling it an instrument of Obama's evil plan
Edited on Fri Aug-14-09 07:57 AM by ck4829
Looks like we've been discovered.

"Janet Porter had Jane Burgermeister on her program today so that Burgermeister could lay out her case that the Obama White House, FBI, WHO, UN, Federal Reserve, NATO and various international figures are all conspiring to unleash a massive flu pandemic on America and commit mass genocide against the US population for the benefit of pharmaceutical companies who are producing the flu virus vaccine.

Frankly, the entire program read like a paranoid fan fiction version of "V for Vendetta" without the cool masks.

The one thing that struck me about the conversation was Porter's repeated insistence that this all sounded crazy and that she doesn't want to believe that such a plan would be in the works, but she just can't discount it because recent developments prove that anything is possible.

And the developments to which she pointed were the National Guard job listings for "Internment/Resettlement Specialists," which I debunked yesterday, as well as some video purportedly uncovering a "FEMA mass evacuation bus." "

OMG!!!!! What could that be?

"Brunswick County’s mass evacuation bus is only the third in the state, he said, adding Charlotte has two mass evacuation buses. Manufactured in High Point, Watts said the mass evacuation bus could transport 20 stretcher patients and 10 wheelchair patients, or the bus could be reconfigured to transport about 30-40 wheelchair patients, depending on the patients’ needs.

The bus also has oxygen available for up to 20 patients.

The bus also has room for medical staff and is “stocked for mass casualty,” Watts said. With the mass casualty bus and its capabilities, emergency personnel could “be able to take care of about 30 patients without needing to restock,” he said.

One of the uses of the mass evacuation bus would be to evacuate patients with special medical needs for a hurricane or other storms. Previously, some special medical needs patients were being evacuated in ambulances to accommodate for their medical needs, such as oxygen.

But one ambulance can only transport two patients, Watts said, which can deplete a county’s ambulance bank during a hurricane or other disaster. With more than 300 people already registered in the county’s special medical needs registry, Watts said the mass evacuation bus could evacuate those people on the registry who require oxygen or other special medical needs without using the county’s ambulances.

In addition to hurricane evacuations, Watts said the mass evacuation bus could be used if there were a fire or other disaster."

It's a big ambulance. Let's say a chemical plant or a warehouse blows up, that might be a lot of people who will need medical attention ASAP.

Just remember: These are the same people who went on about "Death Panels"

These people don't care how many lives they ruin, it'll be a success to them if they can make Obama and Democrats fail.

3. Only these morans could twist this so bad
What kills me is that the big "wagon" could be such a useful tool for emergency response. I can see it parked at NASCAR races, at the finish line of the Boston Marathon, and those big, nasty apartment house fires we get on the coldest night of the year.

5. Some of them seem to think Katrina was a wonderful event.
And no changes are needed.

6. Important Debunking Information
This bus was funded by a federal grand which was applied for AND approved before the election. You can see this clearly below in the meeting minutes from the county commissioners meeting on the 6th of October 2008 where they mention that the grant as already been approved.

8. I love the prediction of the flu epidemic
Now when we get the flu, like we do twice a year, every year, they can all scream that it was Obama.

Pretty soon they are going to blame him for the sun going down every day.



Regarding the buses: Oh, NO! Innovation!

9. what about these ambulances
did she find objectionable? she was incapable of imagining a hurricance (didn't recall the nursing home in NO in which every resident died?), an earthquake, a tornado?

what is the scenario she envisions for employment of this vehicle?! this is just too weird.

11. The Vaxers (the vaccine conspiracy theory) I've been posting their youtube videos.

They'll be famous in September when the flu shot comes out because their going to refuse to get it.

Which I think is GOOD hopefully they'll DIE!

Here's one of their hysterical videos.

13. Their cool aid is destroying brain tissue
I think before this country progresses past this mini Dark Age, we will have to accept that some people have fallen through the cracks of the educational system. They have to be calmed down, we have to make peace with them somehow, because we are able to. They are unable to calm themselves down.
