Are we being told the truth about the Guadalupe River flood, July 4?
Must-follow rule for breathlessly-reported news that pulls at the heartstrings or otherwise presses our buttons
Take a step back and scrutinise the media stories and witness testimonies carefully.
EDIT: 12 July 2025
This article is now essentially superseded by Guadalupe River and 9/11: commonalities but I will leave it here for the comments and for the first item that alerted me to suspecting the narrative lacked credibility:
In Celia Farber’s post I noticed the figures in the news story snapshot below:
18 adults, 9 children confirmed dead.
These numbers look suspiciously Masonic: 2x9=18, 9 = 999
And then we have 27 children missing: 3x9=27 = 999
In the quoted text what does “nine nine” refer to in “I believe we’re at nine nine dead …”
My belief is that a pretty solid evacuation of the areas affected occurred and that knowing in advance what was going to happen they turned it into a televised exercise to a certain degree. This doesn't take away from the destruction to people's homes and obviously to lose one's home or suffer a lot of damage in this way is awful - if this fakery raises money to help people get their lives back on track it is certainly not the worst implementation of fakery but fakery is my thing and I'm pointing it out anyway - it's not as if it's going to change anything. Also, I find it difficult to believe that no one has died but who knows how good the evacuation was.
What strikes me as anomalous is a dearth of clear footage of people actually being rescued.
Clear example of Revelation of the Method:
'Angel on this earth': Family reunites with hero who saved them from Texas floods - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nx21t5DPWz4
In this interview the reporter asks the "angel", Matthew:
"What prompted you to go and check in on that family."
Matthew: "It was a gut feeling. I had intended on leaving and going home and enjoying the rest of my day ..."
Reporter to Chrissie:
"What went through your head when you heard a stranger screaming at your home in the middle of the night?"
If it was the middle of the night how could Matthew have been thinking about enjoying the rest of his day?
Also, in the middle of the night there were signs of rain and flooding and there had been warnings so the scenario of a "stranger screaming at one's home" doesn't really fit.
The route of escape also sounds strange: over the chain link fence to their pickup truck and then from the pickup truck to their neighbour's yard.
The reporter then asks about Chrissie's daughter slipping and says "I think her name's Dove". Chrissie replies with what sounds like "Maiyan, my daughter ... nearly went down the river with my car. Her brother Dove (pronounced Dohve) ... "
Seriously, she has a son called Dove pronounced Dohve.
Am dubious about the story below:
Interview with people involved in the rescue of a 22 year-old woman from a tree - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9MpE1BVnWE. Snippet of actual rescue - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txqPXKeg79c. The tiny amount of footage showing the actual rescue looks real, however, I wonder at the snippet being so short and - what seems to me - truly miraculous ability of the woman to be carried in a flash-flooding river 20 miles and then being able to cling to a tree for a period of over 4 hours.

Just to think: AI can even make up a flood, can make posts, comments and people being interviewed online saying they saw the flood. AI can do all of the above to make a worse flood on top of a real flood.
👉I'm not arguing this flood in part or in all was made up.
