  • 23 July 2010. Grand Isle, Louisiana. <br />
A sales poster pitched primarily to oil clean up workers as seen on the wall at the Grand Isle marina advertising FEMA trailers at discount prices. These would be the same FEMA trailers that are known to be contaminated with formaldehyde and are the subject of extensive legal wrangling following their use after hurricane Katrina. The FEMA trailers are known to have made people very sick. How is it possible for these trailers, effectively contaminated government owned stock to now be available through private dealers to the general public? <br />
BP's catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico would appear to be encouraging additional contamination of clean up crews through private sales of contaminated FEMA trailers. How is this possible? <br />

  • 17 June, 2006. New Orleans, Louisiana. Housing problems. Protesters, former public housing residents and supporters march along St Charles Ave to the private gated community of Audubon Place to protest The Housing Authority of New Orleans (HANO) plan to demolish public housing, refusing residents the right to return despite valid leases. The housing authority proposes to replace crime riddled, poorer projects with a mix of private and public housing created by private contractors. Former residents argue that HANO is part of a greater city plot to keep poor, predominantly African Americans from returning home.

HANO, The Housing Authority of New Orleans has vowed to demolish the public housing, once riddled with crime and poverty. The housing authority proposes a mix of private and public housing created by private contractors. Former residents, fenced out with barbed wire argue that HANO is part of a greater city plot to keep poor, predominantly African Americans from returning home. The Complex is now fenced off and residents need to make an appointment at least 72 hours in advance to be permitted back to collect personal belongings.

And still, six months after hurricane Katrina, many roads remain blocked by houses and their contents spilled into the roads where they came to rest as the water swept through.<br />
A clock lies amidst the rubble of someone's former living room on North Tonti Street. The clock, stopped at ten minutes to ten on the morning hurricane Katrina smashed the house from its foundations moving it halfway into the street.

  • 23 July 2010. Barataria Bay near Grand Isle, Louisiana. <br />
A 'floatel' passes by heading inland away from the coast as tropical storm 'Bonnie' threatens the Gulf of Mexico. BP contractors prefer to house clean up crew workers in these floating container motels to save a few lousy dollars rather than station workers on land where they would benefit the local economy. Already reeling from poor decisions and an economic and environmental disaster thanks to BP's catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the corporation continues to oversee economic devastation wreaked on local communities. Private contractors continue to get rich taking BP's cash as local economies flounder. 'Floatels' do not benefit local communities in any way. BP contractors bring all food and supplies to the 'floatels.' In an area both economically and ecologically devastated by BP, this would appear to be yet another slap in the face to struggling local economies - and all to save a few bucks to make a few contractors even wealthier than they already are! This should be a national disgrace. <br />
