HUN USE HUMAN SHIELDS

(Berkeley Broadcasting Company) BBC's Charles Alfred, reporting to you, from the unoccupied People's Republic of Berkeley (PRB).
According to PRB sources, there is public outcry against the Hun use of women and children as human shields. It appears to be a new but desperate tactic on the part of officials and their stooge media to staunch the waves of revolt coming in from all over the country.
The tactical use of human shields involves placing Army and Marine families, women and children mostly, in front of Hun officials to answer increasingly hostile questions about the war.
These poor families are compelled to support the war mongering Hun because their husbands and some of their wives are being held hostage at the front. These desperate creatures must now be made to mouth the vile platitudes and war propaganda of their heinous overlords before ever more hostile crowds in revolt. One of course never hears the terrible threats of official reprisals these poor people most endure.
Reports are coming in from enemy held parts of the country where recently local militias are seen burning books, indoctrinating children, and emptying whole communities of people to be shuttled off to official interrogations never to be heard from again.
In these provincial capitals use is made of the human shields in radio and television broadcasts played 24 hours a day, interspersed with patriotic music and war mongering diatribes by local officials.
Let me say for the BBC, we deplore these inhuman tactics.
It is just one more example of the terrible ingeniousness of the Hun as they utilize the many loop holes, manipulate, and flaunt all international law, order, and the rules of war.
It seems now there is no trick, threat or deceit too low for the Hun to entertain.
