Videos Of Destructive Joplin Tornado Aftermath

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Following Saturday's eruption of the Grimsvotn volcano, whose ash cloud is expected to hit the British Isles within 24 hours and create havoc for flights, another natural disaster has struck Missouri, after a tornado ravaged Joplin, where according to press reports at least 89 people have died and 75% of the town has been leveled, making it the deadliest tornado storm since 1953 when 90 people were killed in Worcester, MA. Below we present some of the videos of the devastating aftermath which will likely have ramifications on existing municipal bonds and future issuance.

A first-person video shows a terrifying experience as the tornado hit a Fastrip store:

When so-called religious leaders and public figures even suggest a causal relationship between natural disasters and "ungodliness", I realize just how small a step separates us "moderns" from those who burned babies and ripped the beating hearts out of innocent victims in sacrifice to their "gods".

Get the fuck out of here with religion! Tornadoes aren't commanded by your imaginary fucking friends. They're a force of nature and created by weather.

Anyone who says it happened because people voted for the wrong person, or because Gods wrath came down are clearly as ignorant as their opinions on the matter itself.

Please hand out some bans for some of these people.  I dont think we have a shortage of posters here and I dont think zerohedge wants to be known as the site that supports making fun of tornado victims.  Not taking any action really shows lack of morals in management here and makes excellent recruiting repor for Goldman Sachs and GE.

Dead people cant defend themselves.  There becomes a point when expression crosses its line to hate and verbal abuse and a ban by ip would actually take care of allot of these folks making such ignorant comments.  I am sure 1 or 2 would be persistent enough to get around it.  I am sure zerohedge could find trustworthy volunteers could follow a set of guidelines that is reasonable.   Saying a random person you did not know personally or of  their actions deserved to die in a natural disaster is plain sick and not freedom of speech.  Perhaps freedom of religion, but I did not know this was a religious site.  I thought it was a sight of unedited news and financials.

i can't comprehend what you are doing, here, with this comment, and why you are advocating censorship on zH.

zH values free speech.  each person is free to say what he or she wishes.  nobody gets hurt.  really. words are still not sticks or stones.  yes, they can 'hurt' in an emotional sense.  but that is not always bad, any more than not hurting or caring deeply for what others feel is always good. 

no other website has this freedom. you must know this.  so why are you doing this, today? 

please stop advocating censorship for zH and making a case for it. 

asswipe.

This is about noise pollution on this board and common sense.  Your freedom of speech argument is stupidder than a darwin award.  No one gains anything by bashing victims of a natural disaster on a financial news blog and has nothing to with the intensions of freedom of speech.  George Washington would call you a moron in this case.  Just a board to lazy to deal with assholes.

Inoffensive speech needs no defense.  Therefore, offensive speech is really the only true "free speech".

That said, you don't have the right to force your speech on anyone.  It's your right not to have to listen to it, so someone blaring into your living room or on the street is wrong.  Here, you can choose to not read it, but IMO ZH needs an "ignore user" function, it would make that easier.

One great way to deal with the trash posts is to have it automatically hidden as a small icon once the post receives a certain number of trashes, but offer the option to unhide it.  Then your not fully censored, but your ass can clearly be shunned.  :), not you personally tekhneek but in general.   Make it shrink like beatlejuices head when he pisses off the witchdoctor LOL.

I just connected the dots.. it seems.. that all the death being handed out by God seems to favor the Heartland as of Late.. now if anyone would like to debate these Facts that I have presented.. I will happily post Video to PROVE that God Hates these People for some reason.. I just assumed it was becuase of Bush and the World being completely out of control.. but I could be wrong.. we can debate that too if anyone would like.

 

So who is first to debate the facts I have presented?

 

or will it be all feelings? here have a song! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4Hkp5Mn_ao find that feeling again!

According to your twisted logic, God hates the non-christian Japanese more because he/she wiped out 30,000 of them. You are such a joke, JW, because your political bias completely dominates your thought process. You think you are fighting against fascism you perceive to be present in Bush/Republicans, but you are exactly what fascists want - a mindless idiot ruled completely by his passions. You would have made a great little Stormtrooper in the 1930's.

If a universe is "one verse" in a song of creation, then why is this one special?  Do you suppose the creator entity you call God is watching it for a reason?  What of all the others?  Then, supposing it is this universe's eon in the spotlight, then why watch events in an insignificant solar system located in the "outer suburbs"  of an unremarkable galaxy? 

If my job was to create universes, not sure what i'd do for entertainment.  Making tornadoes on a small planet seems kind of tame.  If i created the system perfectly, why would i mess with it?

Sure, God killed these people, in the same sense that the designer of a jetliner killed the birds that were sucked into a jet engine on one of those planes yesterday.

Damage of this magnitude is a problem.  Insurance will replace some things, but was the city self insured at all?  Also allot of businesses probably wont come back from the huge disruption even if their assets are replaced.  This affects the forward projected revenue for repayment in terms of tax base.  One does not expect a natural disaster to wipe a large portion of your city out overnight even though it can happen.  The short term is hard to tell, but long term is definitely an issue.   I wish we used our military for peaceful ventures like this back home more than we do.  It really might help their recruitment problems and public image.  Please dont take this as any more than a I wish we used them to help people more in disasters like this because they have heavy equipment vehicles and medical training to assist people to help restore services and shelter.

Unless you are being sarcastic to an extreme: A very large and powerful tornado caused widespread death and destruction in Joplin, MO.  A tragic event caused by weather.  Nothing more, nothing less.

Look up "Solar System Changes". You won't get that in MSM. What you are sure to get is "global warming, we need more carbon taxes, we need more taxes" etc. There are changes out there, both in temperature, wind speeds, magnetic poles movement, a whole bunch of stuff. But if you want to scare/bullshit yourself to death with HAARP/AGW crap as much as you wish - go ahead. Throw in Torah, end-time Judaism aplenty if you want to as well, stir it, crap yourself over it on a daily basis. If you want to know what's going on (or at least - get a glimpse of it) - look for an explanation yourself, don't expect anyone to chew it for you and put it in your mouth. 

Don't forget that line by Rahm: "Never let a serious crisis go to waste. What I mean by that is it's an opportunity to do things you couldn't do before"

A few months ago a poster exposed him as some huge telemarketing pimp.  Apparently he got his ass caught in the wringer over phising NPI information from some websites he set up and selling it to telemarketing companies.

Be careful about making him mad... I wouldn't want a master criminal genius like that hunting me.  Especially since he's done hard time, makes him "legit" and "original Gangsta" with all the other telemarketers.

The country has turned into a nation of Jackals who turn on each other in an instant. It did not used to be like this. Perhaps 15 years ago. Maybe 10, but no later than that. This is the natural result of  Liars Prosper. TThose with the lowest common denominator values are those who get the farthest and those values then spread to the rest of society.

How the Jew the Native American and Tibetan's destroy mankind. The sovereigns of destruction.

This is how they do it folks. The black magicians and the white magicians. The native americans and the tibetans are retarded little children. Wishing us to all be together as "one". I was reading the hopi indians prophecy stuff and here's what we are dealing with.

An ancient Hopi Indian prophecy states, “When the Blue Star Kachina makes its appearance in the heavens, the Fifth World will emerge”. This will be the Day of Purification. The Hopi name for the star Sirius is Blue Star Kachina. It will come when the Saquasohuh (Blue Star) Kachina dances in the plaza and removes his mask.

The masked man in the purification is the "trixter", "loki", "the coyote". So you know that purification is going to be one retarded giant mind fuck. You see people are goddamn suicidal. They want the world to end. They want it to burn up to all hell. They want to murder the fuck out of themselves before they spend one more goddamn day in a Foxconn factory. They want California to fucking die in a fire before it produces one more stupid piece of crap movie. While the tibetans are praying and praying for us to come together as one and through their prays putting off the destruction that should have come to california by now.

These 3 groups of people are the confinement and containment field. The tibetans and Native Americans honestly want us to all live together in peace and civility and with real respect for each other. They are the white magicians the hope of mankind that keeps us coming back for more and more suffering. The jews want to control and tax and manipulate and threaten with expulsion everyone who doesn't give them their way. They are the black magicians. But you see the white magicians won't do anything about the black magicians. When the jew bomb was developed the hopi indians tried to go to the UN and tell them not to drop it on people that it would cause big troubles. But the UN said we don't listen to you. You all are soverign and we protect you but won't let you have any say about anything you can't join the JewN. You are retarded little children that we have beaten up long ago and are no threat.

Isn't it wierd how the tibetans have a similar role in society. Living in the middle of dictatorial china yet a sovereign. Not paying any taxes and holding manufacturing and stupid jew jobs. Subject to some harrassment from the government but for the most part left alone to scratch their meager living out of the earth just as the native americans are.

These lovers of all mankind and users of all mankind are caught in a never ending struggle for the hearts and minds of all mankind, or work in our factories till you are poisoned and eat our poisoned food until you die and pay our poison taxes and use our cocaine laced poisoned money tickets. Remove either the tibetans and the native americans or the jews and the trixster takes off his mask and the world becomes all about either love and simplicity or hate and weapons of mass destruction and usery and drugs and anything you can think of to use destroy or weaken.

If the purification comes you better not go through it unless and until the jew and the government are all purified and stop forcing people to join armies to be safe or build jails to put people who refuse to accept some sort of miserable poverty they are supposed to accept and start stealing or not following rules or applying the same force and deception principles that the dominant government uses each and every day and who wants to maintain a monopoly on their use.

What's so fascinating with it is the cause and effect. The jew takes over europe with it's deception and brutality and makes it just one fucking gawd awful hellhole driving everyone to america who then are willing to kill the native american off just to have a chance to live decently and give them some fucking rest and peace from the insane relentless jewish warmongering, taxation and theft. The native americans were willing to share this land with the europeans but the europeans were so fucked in the head by then with sharecropping and landlording and brutal relentless warring and preparing for war and warring and preparing for war and warring and preparing for war for 70 fucking straight years that they simply naively adopted a kill them off or they will pester us relentlessly approach from contact sociopathy and psychopathy from the jewish dominated areas of europe they just left.

The more the native americans and tibetians try to love and gather us together the more the jew and those they can corrupt get's pissed off and tries to divide us up so they can chew us up in bite size portions. The people just want to individuate and be left the FUCK alone and try to create the world they want to live in while these goodie two shoes try to guilt us into not mudering the fuck out of people who won't leave us alone and these baddie two shoes try to keep us divided enough that they have the biggest armies and the best weapons and continue treating us like owned slaves. Their permanence and stubborness are constantly being exhibeted. Tibetans keep saying they'll reincarnate until everyone is "saved" and the jews and sympathizers keep saying they are going to lie and steal and cheat and murder any time it works for as long as it works.

I can't live simply and in harmony with nature with psychopaths running around. I need big fucking guns. And the native americans and tibetan monks aren't going to rise up and murder off and drive out the psychopaths. No they are going to include them and try to make it work. And thus we create a world that people live in. A world of insanity where love has no authority and authority has no love. And anyone attempting to develope authority must lose any and all love because even at the state level you have to be a complete heartless mindless sociopath to operate in government. People move up the authority ranks under the jew system and benefit it by only keeping down the lesser and more insignificant evils. People move up the religious ladder and benefit it by only keeping down or stopping lesser evils. Only able to transform those that were really good to start with but simply bowed to some pressure and are willing to transform back as long as the pressure is removed or reduced.

And thus we have the new world order with its symbolism of black and white checkered tiles. A good servant for every evil master every evil master touching good servants and other evil masters nobody surrounding anybody. They just aren't able to actually produce and maintain their wet dream of willing victims for all. They keep going to far and fucking it up.

We're going to need a credible game plan from all these naive bozos with absolute conviction and the power or powerlessness that derives from those absolutes. So yo tibetans stop fucking praying. We'ere done here. I don't feel any need to co-create with people who don't have the same goals or who force me to support their goals or gather support through deception. I don't feel the need to get along with everybody or to treat a tax collector or stupid piece of shit cop with respect.

The hopi word for sun is the tibetan word for moon and the tibetan word for moon is the hopi word for sun and both their reflected ignorance make the dividing and conquering jew possible. Welcome to mindfuck world, all stupidity all the time forever. So the poles are supposed to flip and the people who want us to come together through love wll make it more difficult for the people who want to make us come together through force. The force groups will veto and continue not agreeing to the flip of power until the love group presents a strategy that is naive and can't possibly work and they can get back to their merry plan within seconds on geological time scale. And the force groups will continue wearing the love groups like a little kookie mask. And what seems deeply sincere will be deeply insincere and the world will only continue to try to perfect this illusion.

People have developed an ad hoc "intelligence network" without even knowing they've done it that penetrates through this illusionary barrier. And so the purpose of the world is destroyed and so the world will be destroyed under a guise that a new way forward is found. But will quicky devolve to reenacting and re-establishing that previous illusory spell. Fuckups forever fucking up forcing and attracting everyong to the next stage of the fuckup saying there's a plan when there's simply variations of the same old fuckup theme. Lying with paper evolves to lying with computers which evolves to lying with drugs or genetic manipulation which evolves to who knows what.

So good luck with the purification which must begin immediately given the existance of an intelligence network that can bring the truth out if allowed to live. The world is intent on fooling all the people all the time. Nothing less will do. Blame it on Alex Jones, Zerohedge, Max Keiser, Anonymous and all the other people who want to world to just tell the fucking truth.
