US Troops Treat Hurricane Victims as 'Al-Qaeda' Members

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. Thecable 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.
Meanwhile, the communications jamming in the New Orleans continues.
it is now being reported as affecting the Citizens' Band (CB)
frequencies by truck drivers on Interstate-10.
