The
situation in Puerto Rico is becoming politicised and now there is a
backlash against mainstream media coverage.
From
what I have observed the position of Trump is unconscionable.
However,
for balance I am posting these two items.
I
am no fan of lamestream media so, given what I have heard about other
centralised responses to previous disasters there may
be an element of truth here.
Or
not?

In a startling development in the crisis facing Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria destroyed much of that island, a Police Officer from Puerto Rico used a Satellite Phone to call-into a New York City Radio Station to expose the Mayor of San Juan asdeliberately withholding food and water from dying citizens!
The
female officer, sometimes crying and sobbing at what she personally
saw, says San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz is not allowing anyone to
distribute emergency supplies. The officer went on to say that
some people in Puerto Rico are beginning to DIE of STARVATION because
of what the Mayor of San Juan is doing!

City radio station; WARNING: Utterly heartbreaking
The
mayor of Guaynabo, Puerto Rico cast serious doubt Saturday on the
claims made by San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz, who has repeatedly
attacked President Trump and accused him of abandoning Puerto Rico in
the aftermath of Hurricane Maria.
Guaynabo’s mayor, Angel Perez, said in an interview with The Daily Caller that his experience with the federal government has been different from Cruz’s, in part because — unlike Cruz — he has been participating in meetings with officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other federal agencies.
When asked about Cruz’s “genocide” statement, Perez said, “I don’t know why she is saying that. What I can tell you is my experience. She is not participating in any meetings and we had a couple already with the governors and with representation of FEMA and of HUD, of these whole federal agencies that have given us help and she’s not participating in those meetings and some mayors from her political party have been participating, so I don’t know why she is saying that.

Worse,
this very same Mayor went on International TV to claim there was no
aid coming to Puerto Rico from the US, and she said this while
standing in front of a warehouse with PALLETS FULL OF AID!
Now
we know why the people have no aid.
The Teamsters Union drivers did not show up to work. Only 20% of drivers arrived at the ports to distribute the relief supplies.
Former Puerto Rico AG Cut Off By CNN After Accusing San Juan Mayor Of Being A Political Hack
October,
2017
Donald
Trump's feud with San Juan mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz got an unexpected
reinforcement today, when Former Puerto Rico Attorney General Jose
Fuentes, a Republican, on Sunday took aim at Cruz, accusing her of
attacking President Trump and
using hurricane relief efforts to lay the groundwork for a
gubernatorial bid.
Speaking
on CNN's "New Day", Fuentes accused Cruz of making an
about-face, saying she supported Trump just a few days ago, until her
political adviser suggested the idea of running for governor.
"The
mayor of San Juan is a political hack," Fuentes said. "She
was singing the praises of the president until her political adviser,
[Rep.] Luis Gutiérrez from Chicago, got there and brought her the
t-shirts and said, 'Hey you want to run for governor, if she wants to
run..." at
which point the CNN anchor cut him off, pointing to audio issues, and
claiming he could no longer hear Fuentes, handing
over the mic to CNN's Democratic Political Commentator Maria
Cardona, who unleashed a scathing critique before somehow audio
returned at which point Fuentes was once again given the platform,
when he again repeated that any logistical problems were the result
of political posturing by the San Juan mayor at which point both the
CNN anchor and and Cardona doubled down their attack, and so on.
Watch
CNN's anchor shut down Fuentes 2 mins 38 seconds into the clip below.
Also
on Sunday, FEMA administrator Brock Long defended the Trump
administration's response to the Puerto Rican humanitarian crisis,
warning of a fragmented response if mayors do not take part in the
relief effort. "If mayors decided not to be apart of that
[relief effort] then the response is fragmented," Long told
Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday" in response to criticism
from the mayor of San Juan, Carmen Yulin Cruz.
"What
I don't have patience for is the fact that what we're trying to do
and we have successfully done is we've established a joint field
office in San Juan. And you should go there, you should go see that
operation, where we're having daily conversations with all of the
mayors, we're working with the government and his leadership to
create unified objectives," Long said. "We
can choose to look at what the mayor spouts off or what other people
spout off or we can also choose to see what's actually being
done," he
continued.
For those who may have (blissfully) missed it, dominating the weekend newsflow (again), the Trump administration came under fire from critics who said it has failed to help Puerto Rico as it struggles with widespread power outages, collapsed infrastructure and ongoing shortages of water and supplies.
On
Saturday, Trump launched a series of tweets attacking Cruz, and
accusing the mayor of exhibiting poor leadership in the midst of the
recovery efforts and claiming Puerto Rican leaders want the federal
government to do everything for them. His tweets came one day after
Cruz issued an emotional plea for help, saying people are dying on
the American territory and blaming stalled recovery efforts on the
federal government's inefficiency and red tape.
"I
will do what I never thought I was going to do. I am begging, begging
anyone who can hear us to save us from dying. If anybody out there is
listening to us, we are dying, and you are killing us with the
inefficiency," Cruz said during a Friday press conference, just
days after praising Washington's response.
The
president is scheduled to travel to the Hurricane devastated Puerto
Rico on Tuesday.
It does seem odd that these people should be silent for a week and only speak up when the whole thing has become politicsed with the San Juan’s plea.
The
Americans, if they want to know how to do things should look at how
the little island state of Vanuatu are managing things.
