So is this right? Red Cross not being allowed into NO + no way out
Red Cross, foreign aid, or simply wives or husbands coming to pick up their loved ones are being turned away and are not allowed to enter NO. This stuff is not rumor. It is coming from Fox News (of all stations) and other news channels and websites. The Red Cross is saying this themselves on their website. Anyone driving to the checkpoint at the edge of the city is turned away. The only people allowed in or out have to be let in or out by FEMA. They have locked people in the Convention Center. They are not allowed to leave. If you are not in the Superdome or the Convention Center, you are most likely not getting food. If you are not in the Superdome or the Convention Center, you are not allowed into them and you are not allowed out of the city. I couldn’t sleep without sending this out. Supposedly, they are going to start evacuating the Convention Center tomorrow morning (9/3).

2. can't ONE person videotape this?
Road blocks aren't top secret. Some reporter should have them all lock arms together and walk. Camera man should film , it live.

5. Supposedly no one in either shelter is getting food or water.
And they're dropping dead like flies. It's not even clear (to me) if there are any survivors in their interiors anymore.

9. Smith said they did get a little food and water today but when they left,
they left them with nothing again. And the people on the bridge have NEVER had food or water, he says. I can't believe they're still alive. Some of them, anyway.

7. Can't have the Red Cross interfering in their little "social experiment"
now can we?

When the national declaration of Martial Law comes down, they need it to be clean and easy.
