The collapsing US military & economic empire is making Washington & NATO even more dangerous. US could not beat the Taliban but thinks it can take on China-Russia-Iran...a sign of psychopathology for sure. We must all do more to help stop this western corporate arrogance that puts the future generations lives in despair. @BruceKGagnon

Everybody needs a home

Stories of "mole people" have always intrigued me. Years ago I went urban exploring in search of these mole people living in the tunnels under New York City. I found some of them in the Freedom Tunnel, a train tunnel that runs under the West Side highway. 
 
This tunnel is well known for its graffiti, but is also the home to several homeless people. Two of these men were nice enough to invite me into their homes in the train tunnel. This video is a short interview with Walter, a homeless man who has lived in the Freedom Tunnel for over 20 years. 
 
Sadly Walter passed away about 9 years ago. The last I checked no one had taken up his old home - the exact location of which was edited in the video, so it wasn't revealed.
