Now the REAL LOOTING BEGINS: Purging the poor

[djeannot]

There's a protest September 24th in Washington--the issues are really connected. For instance, the same private security forces in Iraq are patrolling the streets orf NOLA and protecting the interests of the rich, who have swooped down to land grab...and many residents are scattered, not present to defend their interests.

really good stuff.
do you have any ideas for orgs or people to whom this research would be helpful?

[djeannot]

Probably any organizations fighting predatory capitalism and eminent domain. I am going to do some research on this. Thanks for the excellent and helpful question. If you have any ideas yourself on the matter, please let me know.

The first two articles are from "The Nation" magazine. I added the links. I also included the interview (with links) with Naomi Klein done by Amy Goodman on Democracy Now.
