- Hello America,
-
- The slogan NO VICTIM WILL BE LEFT BEHIND represents the
desire and goal of our small group of retired Vets. Because we survived
the destruction ourselves, we will not allow the other victims of Hurricane
Charley to be forgotten, and this especially includes the hundreds who
have already died. We will continue to expose the truth of what REALLY
happened in the wake of Hurricane Charley.
-
- But there are urgent needs our fellow neighbors have
right now... today. Water is OK for those who don't have to endure 95 degree
days and 90% humidity, but products like Gatorade that contain essential
salts and other minerals are badly needed here. Dehydration and heat exhaustion
are our worst enemy right now.
-
- We have had 2 of our electric generators stolen since
Saturday evening (this was on top of the 5 new units that somehow burned
up and stopped working). This proves how desperate other victims of Charley
have become. We only have 4 working generator units right now and we know
of the need for at least 20 at the moment right in our own small development.
-
- There is little to no National Guard presence other than
a passing Humvee every once and awhile. Since the Military Police National
Guard units of Florida are in Kuwait and Iraq, few have said anything about
how much they are needed here right now. Since when is the National Guard
too occupied in a foreign nation to help those in their own state? GOVERNOR
JEB BUSH NEEDS TO BE IMPEACHED for allowing our own Florida Guard units
and fellow neighbors to be sitting in the Middle East. Field Artillery
FNG units are directing traffic (if you can call it that) and providing
security (the biggest joke Tallahassee has ever dared to pull) with absolutely
NO training for either necessity. The local Sheriff's departments are stretched
to the limits, especially in Desoto and Charlotte Counties.
-
- It's amazing how anyone can expect inexperienced and
untrained National Guard soldiers to direct traffic when they have no idea
how to do so and have never been even remotely trained in this. We need
our Army MP units from the Florida National Guard back home NOW where they
belong.
-
- Most people cannot get to the distribution centers for
food or water, so it's necessary that we go to them. Please remember that
this area of Florida is a retirement area where the elderly either no longer
drive or cannot drive any longer. Many have no relatives or children to
check up on them, so we and so many others here are doing our best to find
those who have no way to receive help. I can tell you that for every elderly
homebound victim we find, there are hundreds more who we have not been
able to reach. It's an impossible goal unless Floridian's who are able
begin distributing all the stockpiled supplies at the distribution centers
to each and every neighbor pitch in. The "official" help is mostly
hype. All of us feel that we have been abandoned by Washington City and
the City of Tallahassee. But on TV it looks as if the truth were just the
opposite. What lies.
-
- We now have a PayPal link for those who would like to
help us distribute whatever is needed to other Charley victims. We'll purchase
the essentials and distribute them to our fellow victims and neighbors:

- There is also a public forum at the World Vision Portal
for "missing" and confirmed dead relatives as well as updates
from eye-witness sources. This is an essential tool to document what is
actually going on here:

-
- On another note, many horses and cows had to be shot
by Deputies because of serious injuries in Desoto County. While this is
of little importance compared to the human lives lost within the past 11
days, it illustrates the desperate situation we are all still in.
-
- I can't help but see how all that Forestry Department
heavy equipment was rushed to Sanibel and Captiva islands while the majority
of the older and less influential neighborhoods have been forgotten. Just
because someone is elderly and lived in a mobile home doesn't make them
any less important. Have "the powers that be" forgotten that
all those who are poor and elderly are someone's mother or father, or a
grandmother or grandfather? Apparently they have.
-
- A Port Charlotte man was arrested for shooting out the
tires of a car that was looting his neighbors and tried to run him over.
Even more ironic is that he was the one who called the police to report
it! It's obvious enough that if we don't protect ourselves, we might as
well just pile up whatever possessions we have left on the curb for all
the thieves and immoral trash roaming the neighborhoods day and night.
They even rob us by boat in the canals between those houses still standing.
-
- Before it was removed by a State Trooper, the Kings Road
exit off I-75 southbound had a sign erected by local residents. It said,
"Camp Charlotte - Sightseers Go Home". Of course, this didn't
look good for the cameras following the JEB BUSH motorcade, so it was promptly
removed before any rogue media reporter photographed it. Staged media tours
do not include home-made signs erected by hurricane victims.
-
- I still can't get over the strength of all my neighbors.
None of them will stop until there is no victim left behind. This is an
amazing testimonial to the human spirit no-one can deny or take away. This
is why we will not stop until the truth about all those killed and missing
is revealed by whatever means we must use. We are ALL eye witnesses to
the bodies we have seen. Those pictures will never be erased from our minds
no matter who tries to tell us we didn't see what we saw. Those are the
facts and they will remain the truth regardless of what the mainstream
media is saying.
