Troops in New Orleans treating victims like Al Qaeda
(If for some reason you don't think this report is credible, compare it with the DU thread at the bottom of this article and notice the similarities!)

Reports coming to WMR report that the greater New Orleans area has been turned into a virtual military zone where troops threaten bewildered and hungry survivors who approach them for help.

One resident of the unflooded Algiers section of New Orleans on the west bank of the Mississippi River reports that the 65,000 population of the neighborhood has been reduced by forced evacuations to 2000 even though there are relatively undamaged schools, parks, and churches available to house the homeless. The remaining population of Algiers is in urgent need of medical supplies.

The same situation exists in Jefferson Parish and other areas in the greater New Orleans area. U.S. troops are treating the remaining people in New Orleans and its suburbs as "suicide bombers," according to the Algiers resident.

FEMA's operations are nothing more than a ruse to depopulate the poor African-American and whites from the metropolitan area. A natural disaster has now turned into a human rights catastrophe in the making. Our corporate news media is totally controlled by the Bush administration with an information embargo now in force from the Gulf coasts of Louisiana and Mississippi. The cable news channels are now praising the White House's response. This is a blatant lie from a dictatorship that controls the media through financial control and intimidation. The web is our only way to get the news out to the rest of the world.

As a U.S. human rights activist who has reported on genocide in Rwanda, Sudan, West Papua and other parts of the world, I am appealing to my human rights and civil liberties contacts around the world -- Africa, Europe, Latin America, Australia, Canada, Asia and the Pacific -- to immediately bring this humanitarian crisis to the attention of your elected representatives, your governments, and international organizations. They must make immediate demarches to the American diplomatic embassies and offices in your countries.

The United States is under the control of a despotic regime that is permitting American citizens and legal residents to die from starvation and disease. This is why the Bush regime refused offers of international assistance -- they are depopulating an entire city that before the storm was 70 percent African American, with the remaining 30 percent largely comprised of those of Creole, French Acadian, and American Indian descent. The United Nations must take this up as an urgent unfolding crisis that has an international impact. Please help our people.

1. That would explain why folks don't want to leave their homes
Esp. if they believe that they will never see them again.

But I still think Madsen is sounding somewhat unhinged these days. He esp. lost me when he said that DU and DailyKos were in on the conspiracy.

Duuuude.

4. Something about us interferring and deleting threads about radio
signals. Madsen firmly wearing the tinfoil, and seeing bad stuff behind every tree.

5. Further down the page....
ALERT: WMR readers should be aware that web sites like Democratic Underground are "locking" information on the radio jamming in Louisiana and the corruption involved in FEMA hurricane disaster preparedness (IEM Team contract). Readers should also be aware that the Pentagon's technology blockade strategy extends to the Internet. Web sites like Democratic Underground and Daily Kos have a lot of explaining to do when they censor critical information during a national emergency. These web sites, along with Fox News and the other news sources with overt and covert political agendas, are not serving in the public interest and should be avoided as sources for important information. For example, some Daily Kos posters are questioning whether FEMA deliberately cut Jefferson Parish's emergency telephone lines. That is because many of those involved with Daily Kos and Democratic Underground are squishy Democrats with a pretty obvious agenda. - WM

6. My wife is kicking me off to bed
because it's midnight here in San Francisco, the kids are screaming, and I'm not going to be able to talk about this any further right now. In the meantime, there are many reasons why I wouldn't be too quick about jumping to conclusions about this report; maybe we can compare notes on some of them tomorrow.

Thanks and goodnight all for now.

9. And Yet, Ms. Clarkie
Edited on Wed Sep-07-05 03:19 AM by The Magistrate
He maintains a prominent link to Democratic Underground on his site. Perhaps he is himself part of this conspiracy he diligently exposes...?
