  • 1 July 2006 - New Orleans - Louisiana. Earl Jackson, City Park. 58 yr old Jackson moved to New Orleans from Georgia in October 2005 in search of work. He moved to the unauthorised  migrant workers encampment at City Park, where many workers and drifters lived in tents and trailers. He slept on the outdoor couch the previous night. The camp was forcibly emptied and the residents evicted under court order just after midnight on July 1st. Jackson is the last resident, picking his way through the remnants of the camp. Life has been tough for Jackson, living in a tent in the park next to a creek with snakes, spiders, alligators and mosquitos. His tools were stolen early on, his ride towed. His health has deteriorated. He has a septic spider bite inside his thigh, small flies dine on wounds on his legs, he must shower and shave under an outdoor hose. The only possessions he has left are all kept in a shopping cart. The city removed the mobile toilets forcing Jackson to defecate in the woods. He does not know where he will go now. He will likely end up amongst the city's homeless population.

  • 10 June 2010. Breton Sound Marina, Hopedale, Louisiana. USA.  <br />
Breton Sound Marina in Hopedale. Over 1,000 people now work in what was, just weeks ago empty fields. A city is rising out of the marshes to deal with the BP's catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Workers load and unload, repair and haul miles and miles of oil boom. The 'hard boom' is not owned by BP or the federal government. It is leased with prices allegedly over $1.00 a linear foot per day. In St Bernard Parish alone there is over 200,000 linear feet of hard boom. Someone, somewhere is making a fortune on the back of this crisis. Workers are hired by contractors, who themselves are hired by bigger contractors. Yet again, the middle men are making a fortune on the backs of workers and on the back of this crisis. The scandal continues to grow.<br />
The ecological and economic impact of BP's oil spill is devastating to the region. Oil from the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe is evading booms laid out to stop it thanks in part to the dispersants which means the oil travels at every depth of the Gulf and washes ashore wherever the current carries it. The Louisiana wetlands produce over 30% of America's seafood and oil and gas production. They are the most fertile wetlands and nurseries of their kind in the world. BP's oil is killing everything.<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 />

Gilets Jaunes - Acte X take to the streets of Paris. Shop workers watch the march from behind locked doors. An estimated 7,000 people took part in the looping 14 km route from Place des Invalides to protest tax hikes from the Government of Emmanuel Macron imposed on the people. An estimated 80,000 people took part in protests across the country. Regrettably the movement has attracted a violent element of agitators who often face off with riot police at the end of the marches which tends to deflect attention away from the message of the vast majority of peaceful protesters.<br />

Oil clean up workers in full hazmat suits clear away oil soaked boom that has been delivered to the staging area on Grand Isle. The ecological and economic impact of BP's oil spill is devastating to the region. Oil from the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe is evading booms laid out to stop it thanks in part to the dispersants which means the oil travels at every depth of the Gulf and washes ashore wherever the current carries it. The Louisiana wetlands produce over 30% of America's seafood and are the most fertile of their kind in the world.<br />

Post 9/11 World Trade Center attack.<br />
John Philips (center) meets with a couple of firefighter rescue workers, Greg Conlan (L) and Scott Parkin (rt) as he hands out posters for his missing sister Sneha who was last seen around the World Trade Centre moments before the first plane hit the Twin Towers. Despite working a 16 hour shift digging through the rubble of the World Trade Centre, the firemen insisted on giving John $15 for him to print more posters. They also took some with them to hand around on site just in case anyone should come across Sneha. Earlier in the day John been granted special permission to enter his once luxury apartment 2 blocks from where the World Trade Center Twin Towers used to stand. His apartment is now filled with dust and debris from the collapsed towers. John and residents of the building were evacuated following the attack which cut off water and electricity supplies. A week after the attack, residents were given just 15 minutes to gather necessary belongings and leave their apartments which by default rendered them homeless, perhaps the first refugees of the War on Terror. Residents were warned to check their balconies for victims of the Twin Towers who might have fallen to their deaths.<br />
In the chaos of 9/11, John's sister Dr Sneha Ann Philip disappeared. John claimed she used to walk past the Twin Towers every morning on her way to work. He fears she might be a victim of the coordinated Al Qaeda attack which claimed over 2,000 victims at the site of the Twin Towers.<br />
It was later discovered that his sister was perhaps one of the earliest victims killed in the attack.<br />

A small number of Afghans who fled Afghanistan fearing the return of the Taliban have steadily been trickling into the camps in Calais and Dunkerque where they join migrant refugees from all over Africa, Iranian and Iraqi Kurds and other other Asian and middle eastern countries. <br />
<br />
French police have ramped up their efforts to make Calais as hostile as possible to migrants, often raiding makeshift camps and taking all tents and migrant possessions. This forces many migrants to live in swampy inhospitable terrain spread around the town. It is a miserable existence for most with insect bites and infestations a common ailment presented at makeshift medical clinics. <br />
<br />
Aid agencies working in and around Calais and Dunkerque are expecting a steady rise in the number of Afghans arriving there over the coming weeks as those fleeing the Taliban emerge in Europe.<br />
