Greg Palast does a great job “unearthing” the real story of the ethnic cleansing of New Orleans. The level of corruption that is going ignored by the “old” mainstream media is mind shattering. Folks, this is not incompetence but a well crafted plan to rebuild a new city which will include outside developers and bustling casinos, but not its original inhabitants. Why is public housing that was barely effected by Katrina being boarded up? As Greg explains, this is highly coveted real estate close to the heart of downtown New Orleans and has been targeted for years. Why is the mainstream media blacking out the real story? Why did authorities attempt to arrest Greg Palast to shut him up? Why is there a FEMA camp near an oil refinery where freedom of the press has been suspended?

Greg answers these questions and more in this two part clip. Part one is on the scene in New Orleans interviewing the victims of Katrina. The second part is an interview of Greg by Amy Goodman of Democracy Now. This is an absolute must see and may be a preview for future disasters under an increasingly hostile government that doesn’t understand it’s job is to serve the people not exploit them like cattle.
