Green Party Candidate McKinney Accuses Government of Mass Inmate Executions

Cover-Up or Conspiracy Theory?

Dee
When hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana, there was massive flooding and evacuations. The inmates in the prisons there were not evacuated, and reports came in that they were abandoned by prison staff and left there to die, without food, water, toilets, proper ventilation, and airborne disease for days.

Recently Cynthia McKinney, presidential candidate for The Green Party has come forward with information she claims she received from a mother of a national guardsman who was assigned to dispose of dead bodies, and had also signed a "silent agreement". She also stated that the Red Cross has backed up her allegations.

According to Fox News McKinney claims the Department of Defense gave the order to execute 5000 inmates with a single gunshot to the head, and then dispose of their bodies by throwing them in a swamp. She stated that the Pentagon used Hurricane Katrina to cover up the massive executions, and that the information was in the Pentagon computer.

Fox reported that a defense department spokesman stated "The claim is outrageous on the very face of it and doesn't merit any further consideration," said Lt. Col. Les' Melnyk. "

    Actually these prisoners were ones who had been arrested for looting and such crimes.

    The allegation defies logic. McKinney also believes that the CIA injected AIDS into Africans and that the Pentagon hatched the 9-11 plot.

    After researching more about this, I have found articles stating that 500 inmates were and still are missing from hurricane Katrina. Maybe the number is 500 instead of 5000

    I am also asking myself many questions about this. Were any of the bodies recovered? Is there going to be an investigation?

    thanks for letting us know, I am not american, but it is good to keep up with the important issues.

    I would believe this. It was almost the same thing they gave orders to do in Attica on a smaller scale.
