New Orleans Volunteer Animal Rescue

Sat, 01/07/2006 - 8:20am — FluxRostrum

One day I was hanging around taking it easy in my sandals when I was abruptly taken on a moldy house tour with a couple of Volunteer Animal Rescue Workers. That was the last day I wore sandals in New Orleans.

This is my first attempt to satisfy the IPOD. I don't have one and all I get with that format is digital gibberish. So somebody, please tell me if the ipod encoding is working.

Chief Al's Stuff

Mon, 12/26/2005 - 8:20pm — FluxRostrum

Skeleton Chief Al Morris was illegally evicted from his New Orleans home by Igor Margan. Igor and his employee's are in possession of Chief Al's personal property and tools, severely limiting his ability to earn a living. This is not an isolated incident; many more are being illegally evicted in their absence. In this case, Chief Al never left and helped many survive.
This is a direct action case video.

Boycott Igor Margan's businesses.
Check Point Charlie's and adjoining tattoo Shop,
Igor's, Garlic Clove, Buddha Belly & Lucky's

New Orleans Returns to Eviction as Usual

Sun, 12/11/2005 - 8:20pm — FluxRostrum

Eviction is the word of the day in New Orleans. Many landlords have taken to throwing tenants personal belonings on the sidewalk after an eviction notice has been tacked on their door for 5 days. Under normal conditions 5 days seems a little harsh if there is a lease involved; but in post Katrina New Orleans 5 days don't mean shit.

The most optimistic number I've heard for the current population of the city is 20%. that means 80% of the city will be unaware of the eviction notice going up on their door. Why aren't they home yet, you may wonder... Well, there are still vast sections of the city that do not have electric even though the structures received minimal damage. Many people were too poor to leave on their own; how do expect them to get back when they're not provided transportation. Much of the rebuilding effort seems to be coming from outside contractors employing transient non native labor and immigrent workers, so the job and housing issues are relevant to those living pay check to pay check.

REMA Response Waveland, Missahippie

Thu, 12/08/2005 - 8:20am — FluxRostrum

Here's a DOWNLOAD

The Rainbow Emergency Management Assembly gathered in Waveland Missahippie within days of the hurricane disaster, to feed people. They have received nothing but love and support from FEMA, Red Cross, numerous Church groups and Hancock County. It is said that before Katrina hippies would refer to Mississippi as MissAHippie because a hippie could easily go "missing" in Mississippi. Now Missahippie has a whole new meaning. The story of Waveland is that of people putting aside petty differences to do what's right and needed by our community of man.

This feeble attempt to tell an amazing tale of cross cultural volunteerism features: Vermin Supreme, Dirty Momma, Heather Bee, Pete Jones, Ben Cauldwell, Doc Stone, Organic Valley, the residents of Waveland Mississippi ... and Flower

The New Waveland Cafe is now closed. The parade was the official end of the facility, which was disbanded because the community now has several restaurants and stores open. A splinter group is setting up in St Bernard Parish.
More to come about Emergency Communities ...

The Shrimpers of Waveland, Mississippi

Sun, 12/04/2005 - 8:20pm — FluxRostrum

I met these 3 men along the coast west of Waveland Mississippi. This video is unedited, the only thing I would have liked to remove is the plug for an american auto manufacturer. If you work for that company I can contact them for your commercial if you're willing to Pay Da Man.

BioTech 2005 ::: Labor Unions & Healthcare Benefits

~ 13 Minutes QuickTime Video

Filmed at, and prior to, the BioTech 2005 Counter Conference in Philadelphia between June 14th -21st; this video Features Fabricio Rodriguez (Jobs With Justice), Jeff Brooks (President; TWU #234), Pedro Rodriguez (Action Alliance for Senior Citizens) and Adam Tsai, MD (Physicians for a Natonal Healthcare Program).

The corporations recognize that paying for healthcare in an environment that is geared solely to profiting from sick people will bankrupt them sending all of your and their money to the Pharmaceutical companies. So, of course they don't want to be responsible for paying for the healthcare of their employees. That's why everytime a major labor contract comes up for negotiations the companies have been taking the offensive by demanding unions to accept LESS healthcare benefits. The best solution for both would be Universal Healthcare but that requires employers and heathcare recipients to take on the Pharmaceutical Lobby ...

BioTech 2005 Adverse Events and Pharmaceutical Drug Studies

Tue, 08/16/2005 - 7:20pm — FluxRostrum


Click Here for Audio Only

Filmed at the BioTech 2005 Counter Conference in Philadelphia between June 18th -21st; this panel discussion video Features Pedro Rodriguez (Action Alliance for Senior Citizens); Beth McConnel (Pennsylvania Public Interest Research Group: PennPIRG) on VIOXX; Adam Tsai, MD (Physicians for a Natonal Healthcare Program) and Mike Susko (Citizens for Responsible Care and Research).

Drug Companies buy FDA approval for drugs like VIOXX with hefty fees that are necessary to fund the agency and they use partial discloser and outright lies in clinical tests supporting their products benefits. They are driven by profit; employing an army of professional liars to persuade doctors to prescribe profitable medications to patients who don't need them, regardless of adverse effects.
