Stravinsky's Sizzlin' Shack

It's really sad that whenever a disaster occures you have this media hype with inaccurate information being published without proper pointers for assistance needed by victims more like MSM in intrested with pledges than actual donations. So sad! And the fact that ISAR (International Search And Rescue) teams not getting deployed despite the need because of the unavailability of funds by the affected country is seens as something having to do with red-tape lipped officials at key bereaucratic posts without the least idea of what is really happening on the ground, that is the situation as of 3 hours ago in Bantul. You don't have to look very far, just flip open the GDN (gulf daily news) and look around for something on Indonesia's quake relief efforts or something about the disaster and you'll find out that your favorite local newspaper has gone from major reporting overnight to a small piece past the middle of the paper....


And... these fault lines running about are giving everyone the shivers, where atleast a few hours ago, Southern Iran was hit by a quake with a magnitude of 5.5, so far there is just 1 ISAR team and relief agency monitoring the situation, most likely as it has been done in the past, the emmergency may be dealt with locally and classified as international assistance not requested as seen initially in Suriname and Indonesia, although both countries later appealed for help.

Red tape, bereaucracy and bizzare MSM reporting.... all of which can easily be swept under disaster relief tourists. How pathetic!
