Greg Palast: More on Oil Spills, Etc

Same venue, next day. Greg Palast speeches to the crowd gathered outside at the Fighting Bob Fest 2010. The material is 90% the same as the previous speech the day before. Btw, I can say speeches since we've had a President that's made up words.

Greg Palast: BP, Exxon, and Chevron Oil Spills and Chills

Greg Palast gives a wonderful speech at Fighting Bob Fest 2010. His investigations take us to Alaska, to the Gulf of Mexico and to the Amazon and the disasters that big oil has created in each of those regions. There's a few more investigations on some other topics. Might I add there's some comedy mixed in.

Greg Palast: Slick Oil

Investigative Journalist, Greg Palast, (they don't make reporters like him anymore)reports on the aftermath of the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Twenty years later, the people living in the area who had their livelihoods destroyed by the oil spill do not just justice when the court reduces compensation to 10% of the original amount. This is an example of the corporatocracy run amuck, fouling up the environment, and destroying livelihoods, with impunity.

Our Supreme Court favors the corporations even though it broke equipment readiness agreements. The media reports lies about the ship driver being drunk so that it can be blamed on human error rather than company negligence.

Greg Palast has covered many other stories, which I shall provide in future blog entries.
