Who Benefits From The Tsunami The Most?

Posted on Monday, January 10 at 23:26 by tyrannyresponse
Ah, but of course they do. Fishermen have cell phones, which gives them access to multimillion dollar communications networks. The cellphone penetration throughout the whole area of the disaster was such that if SMS messaging had been used to give a warning, tens of thousands of lives might have been spared. The U. S. had enough time to notify its naval base on Diego Garcia. Why did it not make even the slightest attempt to notify anyone else? Even a partly successful attempt would have saved many lives, particularly in coastal cities and resorts.

    I would say this is a weak arguement at best. But even if it's true, what does it have to do with Canadian soverignty? Sometimes it seems all some people do on this site is obsess over America, regardless of whether it affects us. Does that really help anything?

    Get real. Allah appears to be the only beneficiary. The US Geological Survey and even Canadian geologists tried to send out warnings but those countries ignored them or didn't have the infrastructure to sound the alarm. An SMS message that would have had to explain the danger, what to do about it, how much time there was etc. etc. - wouldn't have worked unless it was known to be sent by a legitimate authority.

    Agreed, that's why it didn't make the front page, and is in the "general news" section.

    Canadians are asking, why do americans hate us? They hate our freedoms: our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to disagree with each other.

    hmm...I got this from my RSS feed, which I thought was the front page. I'll have to check that out.

    Yea, how do you know? Where is the evidence that warnings were issued that described a magnitude 9 earthquake and the possibility of a tsunami? Give us a link.

    It was in the news shortly afterwards. If you don't follow the news, that's fine, but you'll have to do your own research if you want to get caught up.
