Real Prison Rape -- book passage

Nothing graphic on the video. The horror is captured through the passage read.

short clip from WELCOME TO NEW ORLEANS

A 58 min documentary from the bottom-side of USA.

New Orleans the first year after Katrina. About violence and racism in the poor America.
About a society on its own. And about hope, despite bad odds.

We have all seen the news-pictures from New Orleans.
This movie goes further and tells the story about the major breakdown through a local black activist.

A 58 years old former member of the Black Panthers, who stayed during the hurricane.

He became a local hero in the days after the flooding and is now running a big grassroots organisation.

comment on Michael Moore 11/20/08 interview through CNN


Take a look at every movie Michael has made. The continuing theme is that Congress are the minions of the power structure in multi-national corporations. There doesn't seem to be any accountability for either of these ruling bodies run amok. The corporations blow smokescreens that hide their hidden agendas. Congress members in the good ol-boy loop have an air of arrogance and entitlement to do as they will once elected, in men's room and golf course meetings.

What cannot be ignored is that there is some measure of accountability that needs to be placed squarely upon the shoulders of every citizen of the United States. If we want good government that is genuinely fair and impartial -- or at least somewhere in the ballpark of that ideal -- all of us need to work with all our might to be an active part of holding the powermongers accountable who have been screwing us over and laughing for the last so many years.

The mortgage bailouts are a bandaid on a hemorrhage with no thought of surgery. Bailing out automakers with no plan is the same. We need to flip gravity on its ass and have the assistance start at the worker level -- NOW.

I heard something on NPR the other day about a one-stop-shopping community resource center in Dayton, OH. They stated that an average of 2,000 clients are served per day at the center. We need these service centers installed immediately across the country for crisis respite NOW.

Our Congress, with the leadership/collaboration of our new President needs to get serious about a rehaul of the financial structure and a detailed plan for the transportation giants of the U.S.A.

How much worse does it have to get before the pendulum can start swinging in the other direction?
