New Film Exposes Connection Between the Kochs and a Small Community Dying of Cancer

While people all over the USA are banding together in protest of the excessive greed of America's wealthiest and the power of corporations over public interest, BNF has found the very embodiment of this on Penn Road. "In a way it was all there in one small town where these people are being abused because of the money and the power," said Greenwald. "But this story is not the only one, that's what we have to understand."

There are long lists of Koch Industries' wrongdoings, including the recent epic article in Bloomberg Markets Magazine, but all that information can be hard to grasp until you listen to the residents of Penn Road describe what life is like for them. As Greenwald said, "This is not an academic argument" -- this is life and death. The cruel irony is that while Crossett residents mourn the loss of their family members and neighbours to cancer, David Koch -- a cancer survivor himself -- has donated hundreds of millions to cancer research.

Greenpeace says Barbie doll is forest vandal

Greenpeace on Wednesday accused Mattel, the US maker of Barbie dolls, of contributing to the wanton destruction of carbon-rich Indonesian forests and habitats of endangered species like Sumatran tigers.

The environmental group said packaging used in Barbie and Ken boxes contained timber products from Asia Pulp and Paper (APP), which it described as a "notorious" destroyer of Indonesia's dwindling natural forests.

"Barbie destroys natural forests and pushes rare species such as tigers to the brink of extinction," Greenpeace Indonesia forest campaigner Bustar Maitar said.

"Mattel, which makes Barbie, must stop wrapping the worlds most famous toy in rainforest destruction." He said APP was a "notorious rainforest destroyer which has been exposed many times for wrecking Indonesia's rainforests to make throw-away packaging".
