"House of Lead: A story of greed" - La Oroya, Peru

One of the World's Worst Polluted Places is La Oroya, Peru, where 99% of its 12,000 children are lead poisoned. Instead of cleaning up the pollution as promised the American billionaire owner, Ira Rennert, used the profits to help build one of the world's most expensive houses.

As an American child of a mining engineer I spend many years living in La Oroya. I went to the Mayupampa school from 1965 until we moved to Cobriza in 1970.  I remember playing soccer on the soccer field and all of our lungs burning from the sulpher dioxide. Get me a location of this human piece of shit and I guarantee him dead so fast he and his ilk will never know what hit him. So many of our lives were effected by people like this. It is way past due for a payback!!!!!!!

This man personifies the worst that Capitalism can produce. If there's a hell, it was made for evil bastards like Ira Rennert.

I don't understand what this video has to do with the fact that Ira Rennert is Jewish? Maybe all you anti-semites should focus on the actual problem. The world feeds off all of these natural resources which in the end will be the downfall of our planet. No more need for lead, oil, and other harmful resources = no more money for big corporations. 

Who the f**k is Legacy13LLc anyway?

This is all happening because property rights aren't being respected. If they were, every single person he poisoned on their own land could sue him for every cent he's worth. It's a fundamental principle of a just society.

Guys like him love government regulators because he can install his own cronies in the agency and get free reign under the law.

This is one of the reasons Occupy Wall Street is so important! Its only a matter of time before the USA is the next La Oroya, under complete control of the Corporations!
