Army Corps of Engineers Tries to Censor Spoof of Their Levees Investigation [VIDEO]
This post, written by Cliff Schecter, originally appeared on Brave New Films
What's new in the age of Bush? Was The Army Corps of Engineers responsible for the failure of the levees in NOLA during Katrina?
That is what a functioning democracy would want to know. This government, however, has no interest in the truth. The truth is their enemy.
So when a local advocacy group spoofed what appeared to be a whitewashing of an investigation of their record in the years leading up to that day, the American Society of Civil Engineers, who conducted the investigation, did what this crowd does best. They called for the YouTubed spoof (made by a 17 year old, now that's citizen journalism at its best!) to be banned.
The video is to your right Watch it and see what is obviously too dangerous for most of our minds to handle.
