BREAKING THE MEDIA BLACKOUT IN THE GULF

WARNING:  The following video is not uplifting.  In fact it's possibly the ugliest, saddest most depressing video I have watched yet.  Having said that however, I think it should be MANDATORY for every human being, yes even your precious children to be made to watch every horrible scene.  I'm not only posting this video because I want to cut through the media blackout by the American Government and BP.  I'm posting this video because this just isn't a Gulf Coast problem, it's a planet problem and I'm mad as hell and hope you will be too.  We all play a part in this ... not just BP ... and if we can make this mess we sure as hell should be able to face. some of the consequences of using oil.  Now go watch the video before you go back to your regular programming, please!

What have you done today?  This is not just a Gulf of Mexico problem anymore.  Our planet is being poisoned and hundreds of thousands of animals are dying slow horrible deaths ... make no mistake ... humans will not be far behind.  Take the time to write your local officials NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE and let them know that something has to be done and leaving this matter in British Petroleum's hands IS NOT ACCEPTABLE ANYMORE.  

 

Coca-Cola the Toxic Truth

In 1993 American company Coca Cola moves into a poor settlement in India. The plant was the largest in India and the reason for building here?  Two huge water reservoirs their prospectors saw on satellite.  The people of this very poor settlement are excited about the jobs but very quickly they notice their own water reserves going dry.  What water they do manage to draw from the land makes them sick and burns their skin.  Tests show the water is poisoned with cadmium and lead - sludge runoff from the plant.  The plant is shut down and until this day Coca refuses to compensate the people it has devastated
