From Truthout:
While Americans were still trying to absorb what happened in Boston, a fertilizer plant exploded in West, Texas, killing and maiming dozens. This was the result of corporate terrorism, built on years of campaign contributions to legislators and promises of lucrative jobs for oversight personnel by the larger corporate powers. Thanks to this pernicious lobbying, the plant hadn't had a health and safety inspection since 1985.
Investigations into the West explosion will take longer than the mainstream media will want to stay. Once the memorial services are over, reporters will be required by their editors to move on. The corporate terrorists count on it: They can start the cycle over again with the same influence peddling and intimidation of whistleblowers.
Truthout is dedicated to exposing corporate terrorists, but the deep reporting this requires is time-consuming and costly. We count on our readers to help us do it, and we still need to raise at least $37,000 more this month.
