Greg Palast: New Orleans — Still Under Water
A BUZZFLASH INTERVIEW WITH GREG PALAST
The White House knew [the levees broke] because the Army Corps of Engineers sent them photographs. Again, I want to emphasize that the White House had the photographs of the levees breaking, and didn’t tell state and local officials who had stopped the evacuation because the hurricane missed New Orleans. Everyone thought they dodged a bullet, but the White House didn’t tell anybody the levees broke and were drowning the city. — Greg Palast
Greg Palast is just unstoppable, and after you watch his remarkable new DVD, “Big Easy to Big Empty: The Drowning of New Orleans,” you’ll understand why. You have read about the Katrina disaster for more than a year now, but you’ll see it in a new light after watching Greg Palast’s reporting.
In an expanded documentary that now includes a half-hour interview with Amy Goodman, Palast, in his usual bold style, reveals new factual details about the Bush Administration complicity in the deaths of Katrina victims. You’ll be convinced by the end of watching “Big Easy to Big Empty” that what we are dealing with here is criminal negligence.
******
BuzzFlash: Greg your new DVD, “Big Easy to Big Empty: The Untold Story of the Drowning of New Orleans” is absolutely shocking because all of the footage you shot was one year after Katrina hit New Orleans. After all the devastation, virtually nothing has happened to recover from Katrina, and the residents have been left to fend for themselves. [end quote]
