New Orleans' Jefferson Parish president says FEMA prevented help from reaching hurricane-ravaged city

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

Rense.com reports that, during an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press," Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard claimed that FEMA turned away relief efforts -- including a Wal-Mart truck full of water and a Coast Guard vessel with drums of diesel fuel -- thereby forsaking his parish.



Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard announced on WWL-TV Saturday Night that residents would be allowed back in the Parish on Monday, but must re-evacuate by Thursday. Earlier reports on this site have shown that FEMA has barred rescue teams from entering New Orleans. And now the feds are dragging people out of the city by gunpoint. And back in Jefferson, Broussard explained on NBC's Meet the Press this morning that FEMA is making war even on local authorites [VIDEO]: RUSSERT: You just heard the director of homeland security's explanation of what has happened this last week. Hurricane Katrina will go down in history as one of the worst storms ever to hit an American coast. But the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina will go down as one of the worst abandonments of Americans on American soil ever in U.S. history. Whoever is at the top of this totem pole, that totem pole needs to be chainsawed off and we've got to start with some new leadership. Bureaucracy has committed murder here in the greater New Orleans area and bureaucracy has to stand trial before Congress now. FEMA, we had 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel on a Coast Guard vessel docked in my parish. When we got there with our trucks, FEMA says don't give you the fuel. No wonder he said earlier this week that Jefferson Parish would be better off right now if it were its own country. Earlier in the week, Maestri explained how FEMA broke signed agreements to have sufficient assets on the ground within 48 hours of an emergency. Sherriff Harry Lee needs to deputize every able-bodied male of Jefferson Parish who returns to patrol key infrastructure and keep an eye on all federal thugs who may be provocateuring, sabotaging infrastucture or withholding supplies.
