This year there have only been two hurricanes. But there have been seven
named storms.

The most recent, so-called tropical storm Gabrielle, is a joke. The say
it made landfall on the outer banks but one can see what's left of it
getting smaller and smaller and still dying there off the coast of South
Carolina. It's pathetic. Check it out on the satellite loops. They
claimed 45mph winds but nobody saw more than thirty mph gusts there on
the beach. Most of the day and during the so-called landfall the sun was
shining on the outer banks.

The other so-called tropical storms were also a joke. Small, weak,
over-hyped and short-lived. They only named them so their over inflated
predictions don't look so shamefully absurd. The bottom line is the
National Weather Service is perpetrating fraud. Their only mission is to
frighten and misinform people to increase their own power over our
lives.

I even doubt the strength of the two named hurricanes. Category fives,
my ass! Where are the deaths from Dean? I've not heard of a single death
from that huge powerful, killer storm. No sir. It makes landfall in an
area populated with poor Indians who don't even have radios and who live
in the jungle and not a one gets killed? That tells me Dean was no
category five storm at landfall.

Quite frankly I'm sick and tired of all the 'sky is falling' hype
centered around just about every government program. I hope the majority
of people upon whose ears it falls just let it go in one ear and out the
other.
