Grand Isle (French: Grande-Île) is a town in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, located on a barrier island of the same name in the Gulf of Mexico.

UPDATE – 9:00PM – Eastern

As of now we still have no photo/video confirmation of this report. A few different people from Grand Isles have contacted us and were adamant that there IS oil present in Grand Isles. It is possible our reporter who drove from Texas did not spot any oil and was primarily focused on the troop movements. We are hoping to get a live update on the first 15 mins of The Decompression Session, tonight at 10pm eastern. If that isn’t the case we will be getting an update as soon as possible. Again, this Intel was given to use by a known patriot and we felt it to be too important to hold back. Here is the Sunday night radio broadcast that tells it all. Click HERE to Listen

Intel Hub – Shepard Ambellas

June 6, 2010

Grand Isle, Louisiana -This report came to us through our on scene guerrilla reporter Robert Rutherford. Robert is in the process of getting actual photo/video proof. Until then we will be monitoring the story and it is unconfirmed. We are confirming the amount of oil in the area and will be updating this story. Reports that Coast Guard critical response teams packed up and vacated the town, with the government covering their hotel tabs.

As of 12:00 PM CST, possible battle hardened troops or National Guard, in full battle gear and body armor with have been seen moving into the area. Fully armored HUMVEES with 50 Cal active gun turrets are reportedly arriving on scene as well. All troops and vehicles are in woodland patterns.

Black trucks with red letters displaying “Disaster Relief Team” have also arrived. FEMA contractors and mobile facilities are present. The Crisis Management Corp. is reportedly present as well.

Our reporters see no visible sign that the troops are National Guard at this time. They reported the troops looked “battle hardened”.

This is what we have been warning was going to happen for over the last month here at the Intel Hub. We already had this Intel from our military sources. We will be bringing you live video updates, and report from the scene. We believe this is the first step in a massive coastal evacuation that could potentially disperse 40-50 million people.

We will be updating the site with the latest information, and tracking this extensively. Please submit all tips and information to tips@theintelhub.com

According to reports at least 17,500 troops have been mobilized, ordered by President Obama.

The CDC is now involved. The following is an excerpt from the CDC’s website.
