all washed away: 1 hr film by greg palast (heard interview on hartmann's show a few minutes ago)
583 views Aug 13, 2025
The flood in Kerrville, Texas, was not an Act of God, it was an Act of Trump. Greg Palast’s investigation for Democracy Now! shows the horrific connection between the drownings in Texas and in New Orleans — 20 years ago this month — and the Trump/DOGE scheme to sell off FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Join Palast on this updated version of his undercover investigation — which earned him a criminal charge by the Dept. Homeland Security. Palast blows open the chicanery and ugly profiteering that cost 1,500 lives in New Orleans, 139 lives in Texas and more drownings to come in this brave new hurricanes-for-profit TrumpWorld.
Greg Palast’s powerful documentary All Washed Away is now available on YouTube and Substack. With music by New Orleans' own Preservation Hall Jazz Band and Cajun rockers Speedbuggy, with the original soundtrack tune.
Watch this 1-hour special…then take swimming lessons.
