(3) Here is a account in eleven videos of the ongoing depredations and disasters in the Gulf of Mexico and along the Gulf Coast resulting from BP’s irresponsibility and criminality commencing late last April, 2010 (not to mention before) and ongoing to this day after the Deepwater Horizon exploded and sank and millions of gallons of oil, and then Corexit, were unleashed upon the Gulf, all this aided and abetted by local, state and federal/military officials. And some of these videos also tell us what the American people have to do to fight back and make things right.

Author’s Bio: Besides contributing to OpEdNews.com, I am also an editor. I am a student of history, religion, exoteric and esoteric, the Humanities in general and tempered advocate for peace, justice and the unity of humankind through self-realization and mutual respect, although I am not a pacifist, nor do I believe in peace at any price, which is no peace at all but only delaying the inevitable. There are times when the world must act. Planetary consciousness is evolving, but there are many retrograde forces that would dumb us back down. I have also just come out with my first book, a combination of poetry, photography and essays entitled “Post Katrina Blues”, my reflections on the Gulf Coast and New Orleans two years after Katrina struck.

Videos Of The SOA Watch March To The White House To Close The SOA And Resist Militarization

On Sunday, April 10, hundreds marched to the White House, where 27 human rights activists were arrested when they staged a die-in on the White House sidewalk to call attention to thousands of Latin Americans who were murdered by graduates of the U.S. Army School of the Americas. The march to close the SOA and to resist militarization included torture survivors, union workers, educators and students from across the Americas. Marchers carried banners, flags and large puppets, including a 14-foot tall Mother of the Disappeared with them to the White House.
