What h...

Can you create a petition to call for Bush's impeachment or resignation over Katrina?? ....city and state officials and the Corps of Engineers had repeatedly requested funding to strengthen the levees along Lake Pontchartrain that breeched in the wake of the flood. But the Bush administration rebuffed the requests repeatedly, reprograming the funding from levee enhancement to Homeland Security and the war on Iraq. ....Work on the 17th Street levee, which breached on Monday night, came to a halt earlier this summer for the lack of $2 million. "It appears that the money has...

Michael Parenti: How the Free Market Killed New Orleans ....tens of thousands of people had failed to flee because they had nowhere to go and no means of getting there..... The free market played a role in other ways. Bush's agenda is to cut government services to the bone and make people rely on the private sector for the things they might need. So he sliced $71.2 million from the budget of the New Orleans Corps of Engineers, a 44 percent reduction. Plans to fortify New Orleans levees and upgrade the system of pumping out water had to be shelved....

Genocide americano en New Orleans Esperaba seriamente que no tendría que escribir este artículo. Pero ha sido demasiado largo ahora, y tengo que decir algo. Sin importar debido a si el masse del en de las muertes de la gente negra pobre en New Orleans es la negligencia o maliciousness, el resultado final es constructivo un genocide en negros pobres en América, ahora, en 2005. La carencia de la ayuda a New Orleans en esta última hora (7 P.M., sept. 1) no es explicables. Tengo solamente una explicación que pueda reunir para arr...

A Southern US Anarchist Statement on the Gulf Coast Disaster The State leaves 100,000 to drown like rats, while people everywhere open
their hearts and homes
As many as 20,000 people have been abandoned in the New Orleans
Convention Center with no resources and no anticipated relief. Meanwhile,
National Guard units with submachine guns and body armor prevent people
from taking necessary food from places where it would otherwise go to
waste, and call it "urban warfare."...

Genocide in New Orleans I was seriously hoping that I would not have to write this article. But it has been too long now, and I have to say something. Regardless of whether the deaths en masse of poor black folks in New Orleans is due to neglect or maliciousness, the end result is constructively a genocide on poor blacks in America, right now, in 2005. The lack of aid to New Orleans at this late hour (7 pm, Sept. 1) is not explicable. I have only one explanation that I can muster up. And that explanation is classism...
