This is in response to the discussion on this thread.

Yeah. Maybe members ought to collect images of homeless in US, results of US intervention abroad, and rich US elites and put them all side by side in an article for sott.
After reading this comment, I think it would be a good idea for us to create a collection of powerful pictures that can produce a strong and lasting impression on readers and provide a more objective view of the events that take place here on this BBM. Any members who would like to share any images, it would be good if we could find ones that depict:

1. The brutal terror that the US and allies spread across the world day in-day out in the name of "Freedom and Democracy". This could include injured civilians, damaged infastructure etc. Anything that sheds some light on the truth of what the Western allies actually impose on foreign countries, being anything BUT freedom and democracy. Here is an example:

dead-afghan-children.jpg


2. Images showing the real, day-to-day working class people who have been financially raped by the system who are now required to live homeless on the streets with minimal support from the system. An example:
homeless_wide-0921690dba48a00c983ecc2bb1ddd8301a9f935a.jpg



3. The high-flying psychopathic US elites, bankers, politicians, corperate monsters etc. Anyone who hauls in massive profits at the expense of the average citizen. A (not very good) example:

The greater the [stark] contrast in reality splits of extremely rich and extremely poor, perhaps the better?

FB friend posted this - to offset the images above?

the gist of the photoseries 'Harrodsburg', i think, is basically the socialites and arab princesses who lunch and shop, and that's about it. I think the striking visuals these people represent (and take time to craft) kinda point to life being all about image rather than anything else.

I used to work in a few fancy areas of London and you'd see lots of older men with their model 'PA's', lots of foreign nannies, tribes of burkha clad ladies chucking bags at their drivers as they dive in and our of boutiques, womens who's faces were so stretched over their skulls that - were they not extremely wealthy - they would probably be thought of as monstrous.

Added: the homesless spikes that appeared everywhere - again the images are UK not the US:

Establishments such as Tesco in Regent St London.

I saw a lot of these around the City gyms - the vents blast warm air so it's ideal for the homeless in winter....
