See esp. the last paragraph--but the other stuff might be
related, too.

FEMA crippling communications???
I was skeptical about the jamming of radio frequencies...

Inside Sheriff Lee, of Jefferson parish in New Orleans, is
sitting at a table, fuming. He is doing his best to alleviate
the biggest catastrophe he will ever witness, but lacks even
the most basic of resources. He cannot communicate with his
own officers -- his officers can barely communicate with each
other -- because the overloaded radio frequency keeps jamming.

"We can now report that the jamming of New Orleans'
communications is emanating from a pirate radio station in the
Caribbean," explains Madsen. "The noise is
continuous and it is jamming frequencies, including emergency
high frequency (HF) radios, in the New Orleans area. The radio
frequency jammers were heard last night, stopped for a while,
and are active again today.... However, we now have a new
unconfirmed report that the culprit may be the Pentagon
itself. The emitter is an IF (Intermediate Frequency) jammer
that is operating south southwest of New Orleans on board a
U.S. Navy ship, according to an anonymous source. The jamming
is cross-spectrum and interfering with superheterodyne
receiver components, including the emergency radios being used
in New Orleans relief efforts.... A Vancouver, British
Columbia Urban Search & Rescue Team deployed to New
Orleans reported that their satellite phones were not working
and they had to obtain other satellite phones to keep in touch
with their headquarters and other emergency agencies in
British Columbia." There are also rumors spreading on
forums and blogs that troops are confiscating and destroying
civilian cameras. Graphic photos are however surfacing on the
internet, once again trumping the corporate media, handmaiden
to Bushian crimes and cover-ups.

The Coast Guard said, "Come get the fuel right
away." When we got there with our trucks, they got a
word. "FEMA says don't give you the fuel."
Yesterday--yesterday--FEMA comes in and cuts all of our
emergency communication lines. They cut them without notice.
Our sheriff, Harry Lee, goes back in, he reconnects the line.
He posts armed guards on our line and says, "No one is
getting near these lines." Sheriff Harry Lee said that if
America--American government would have responded like
Wal-Mart has responded, we wouldn't be in this crisis.
