Palin tweets lies about Emmonak, with a little help from her new rural administrator John Moller. UPDATED!

So here is what Sarah Palin tweeted about the current situation in Emmonak:

According to Gov. Sarah Palin's posts on Twitter, half of the people in Emmonak have met subsistence needs and the other half believe they can do the same.

Palin says her rural advisor, John Moller, recently returned from Emmonak and those were his findings.

However THIS is our friend Martin Moore's take on the situation:

Emmonak's city manager, Martin Moore, says he's skeptical that as many people are doing as well as the Palin administration indicates.

With depleted king salmon runs and resulting cuts to subsistence and commercial fishing, he's not convinced food and financial opportunities are plentiful.

Not sure who to believe? Well don't you worry because the Alaska bloggers have their very own man, Dennis Zaki, right there in Emmonak to give us the straight poop.

Last week Palin Tweeted that Emmonak had 50% of their subsistance quota. I've heard all around town that that was false. So this morning I took a poll around town and John Moller is bullshitting everybody. Out 64 people polled, 5 said they have met their quota. 51 said they have less then 50% of their quota. The limited time of the openings are making it hard to fish. "the hell with Sarah Palin" is the best quote I got. These people get pissed when I tell them what Moller said about 50% having their quota.

Three people told me they can't fish because they don't have money to retrieve boat parts at the Post Office. They can't make money because they are commercial fishermen and with the fishery closed to commercial fishing, can't get a loan until it opens.

Story Two: Homeland Security hasn't paid the workers out here for flood work. They were supposed to be paid last Friday but were told the money was late getting deposited then and would be available Monday. I just ran into the pissed off workers outside the city office here and they were just told the money never was actually deposited. Those guys need the money to buy fuel tonight for the opening so they can go fishing. Lots of frustration here. They are getting BS from government all around. Natives getting lied to by government - sound familiar?

And THAT my friends is why we raised money to send Dennis back out to Emmonak and get the real story.

I just hope that our local newspapers and television stations are smart enough to contact Dennis and get the TRUTH from him instead of relying on the bullshit falling out of Palin's mouth again.

Update: ADN now has this story as well. (Scroll to the bottom to see the quote from Dennis.)
