There’s so many stories of murders and criminal negligence and there’s no archive of it, the stories range from racist Fox News propaganda to genuine unreported instances of government murder. I want the truth, I want to know what happened in the astrodome, and I will get into arguments and fist fights with Boxing Day truthers because I’m actively commodifying a tragedy.

I swear that Citations Needed had an episode on all the Katrina bullshit but I can't find it.

But, basically, there are a fair number of Katrina truthers who have gone over all the bullshit exhaustively, gone over how Louisiana used Katrina to gentrify New Orleans, gone over all the Chris Kyle bullshit, gone over the cops shooting random people, all in detail, but it's all in the rear view mirror because it was so long ago. But it's out there. i swear either citations-needed , Chapo, War Nerd, or TrueAnon did at least one deep dive on this. I'm pretty sure Chapo or Trueanon did a Chris Kyle episode, too.

it was one of their first episodes about education. the katrina storm was a good way for the bush admin to fake documents.
