Think there is a connection? Others reported hearing one of the sisters ask * "how's my family?" and he responded "fine", which was later edited out in subsequent rebroadcasts.

1. What's really funny is that they were supposedly "salvaging" clothes

They were looting!

2. tin hat firmly in place, do you remember that scary shit about the kids

locked in like group homes in Florida? This came to light during the election fraud. There was a really frightening story about some girl who had been tied to a blue chair for I don't remember how long and she was a psychological mess at this point. They were like running a school or something and these people had ties to Jeb and the others. Was that all bullshit? Did anybody find out more about it? There was speculation about the kids being involved in the computer end of vote tampering through some company Neal was involved with. I guess my point is, where do they find these people? I can't understand how anyone would be willing to photo-op with those fascists unless under threat of their families being murdered or if they'd been brain-washed in one of those blue chair places.

3. Psychiatric imprisonment is a very serious problem in the US

Very few here are willing to acknowledge it. They smear me with scientology bullcrap etc. if I dare to bring it up.

4. Well, what do they do with the people? Do they just let them sit there,

drugged out until they rot? Do they perform nasty experiments on them? Do they brainwash them into being who knows what, operatives of some kind? What happens to these people? If you grow up as a kid in that world, I don't don't see how you'd have a spitting chance of breaking out of that kind of training.

As an aside, I was working near a Scientology center and was constantly being oh so politely crest whitestrips and sparkly eyed harassed about going to see a twenty minute short film about "the church". A friend and I planned to go and pretend to be very receptive and then totally freak out on them. We wanted to see how nuts you'd have to come off as before even the Scientologists wouldn't take you. Alas, we were both too hung over to attend the screening on the planned day and I switched jobs shortly thereafter.

6. The psychiatric imprisonment bit does not refer to such

It refers largely schemes for accomplishing the following tasks:
1. imprisoning those not prosecutable under typical laws
2. imprisoning those politically inconvenient for various factions
3. bilking insurance companies
4. imposing debt (for profit or punishment) on people for "psychiatric care" administered involuntarily
5. deliberately mentally disabling those who would speak out on various issues sensitive to powerful persons by means of imposed psychiatric treatment (lobotomies, electroshock, perpetual drugging, etc.)

The most prevalent uses AFAICT are 3 and 4, primarily 4 since insurance companies stopped coverage of psychiatric care en masse after noticing the extremely high levels of fraud.

Anyway, I could go on (and that at considerable length), but you get the idea.

5. It says "five South Africans", not 5 SA FAMILIES

"Five South Africans are trapped in the hurricane-stricken city of New Orleans."

It says nothing about families or if any of these SA's are related to each other in any way.
