one fact. that. it's in the december morning and i'm on a bus headed down south from china new york there breathless driver speeds up on the ice who really it's i'm traveling across the states in a snowstorm because of a book. written over despair of twenty years back i'm forced from the mining areas to turn kentucky the book by italians corner. is a monumental collection of moral history it does to struggle words bales to round mining of coal when grants were to come to work well paid

off and has faded jobs the book tells the story of harlan county that's where i'm going. to dig deep the mary. i want to see what's left. terry.

since his first space is now that the us is shifting to major and gas and coal mines for shutting down one after another i do not expect to find a lively city when i drive into the heart of i find a ghost of the city where people are stuck like car terse and black and white picture their stories and their pieces have not changed much from those recorded by push. research and that they are leaving me in peace turning round. or. well when i really don't know what. they go in the back. woods person because i've been in thirty. plus at least two it's really.

worth. it yeah. yeah i want guys from this here. but they from their. appalachian man but. appalachian male didn't even. marry. brian or farmer paul. i got married when i was sixteen years old and my husband was seventeen years old and we'd been married about six. when he went into the mountains. six

months after that down and i went to court next thing. i had two week old son. lady who lived down the street here only. killed. berta but you know what it was really. low. where no. company wants to poll real it's gorgeous at all for the coal ready for the christmas they would in their. sup the whole world you put down it was done by that old wall it. killed of me if. you know it much. too three tell the boat

that lot get one through so it. shielded. that a. rod would sail. i find remnants of the mining history all over memories of the casualties in the hard labor are alive in the stories told by the young and the like they're not had for the glory of collective struggle and hard work paid off. speaking to the locals in dusty barson saloons you can see that their life was and still is mine mine is hard their narrative their collective legend and whatever played a part where said with pride. by just words disappearing

before day i ask for those prayers. to their spy brand is a bit of a work first reraises god shield but they first come in six of them. so. it was work and i got them as my grandpa. six awful sweater. but. you. will. never lady may add it. you always had because you know now we face the life that you'll say.

through. the water in the man soon you would have to drown through water it would get it over your knees and . the horses would have to pull through. and then they would like to bow folders for tracks sometimes when they'd run out of traffic people here named were you know anywhere. there's nothing for them today and there have been all the young pay for the turning to. alcohol. and. if we were some one would have to stay and say our government would get interested in this place this part of contests i think we could. these young people could

make it but if they don't their neighbor day. they say you know the.

eight point seven downtown weisberg this is johnson bringing in sin arcade until ten o'clock tonight so i'm talking to some of the best music of two thousand and thirteen playing the song but all. is. being. proved. in one thousand nine hundred i was the first woman to work in this one particular mine and my job was what they called the belt boy and then they started calling me the belt person because i was a female so when i would go into ground everybody would be kind of gathered to see this woman coming out of the mines you know and then i remember my face would be all black with the coldest since i was a little bit maine so i would. i have

a handkerchief and i would wipe my face off before i would come outside so it would be all clean. so that it but the guys would always be looking for me to come out because it was just so amazing i guess to them to see a woman working in the mines. it's all true. more and more manalo no. i remember when i was in high school i loved earth science i love the mountains of anything to do with rocks and my earth science teacher back then said there's going to be eight hundred years of coal and when he said that that's when things were

good you know where everybody was working like the guys that worked in the mines they always had the nice cars like the camero i remember thinking when i was younger that is sydney thing ever happened to the coal mines here and that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's happened it's happened. we. tried it it is what. now and it's time to check. it out.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see you then.

you know world a big part of the new law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. status financial survival guide today was all about money laundering first to visit this campus in this way different. oh good this is a good start well we have our three banks all set up here maybe something in your something in america something overseas it came and i. and you do all of these

banks are complicit in the. need to do some serious money laundering ok let's see how we did while we've got a nice watch for max and for stacey oh beautiful jewelry. again from that you know what money laundering is highly. watched keyser of course . i went through cody looking for the past from. the class struggle still going or.

maybe go the. terms of the unions but for instance right in terms of your bar. that you came to me early. and nobody's ever followed you go get me one. and you're wasting your time and they. very evil people you know they do things to fame days and they do things to the young and the. sick if you notice in season in it they never never see it would be. all kentucky county it's hard learned produce the most cold at a time in which most of what powered the united states came from kentucky. today the thirty three active minds in harlan employ less than two thousand.

some of deals mines have even been converted into museums were laid off and left with nothing since the ninety's manny leave off was for they don't see any other options in the fuel handouts in time unemployed man are the usual customers. so will orange county was founded on coal and. that's the reason. that he has had encounters was. basically what are again he has been co. co there's nothing else here we don't have the luxury of the cities we don't have factories we don't in the reason now days because it shows that there's you know the mountains we don't have the road boys and it's the largest same outraised and in a way and. i go flip hamburgers at the local madonnas or i go down here peace joy and

make pizza. that's not the same ideals over. these. people want. to do more to get people goes both ways you're so be. very struck. by is every way home. will. be. given. the majesty. has some. good. feature and. uncles that were good examples of this work and to save these the fact that in a few years. and maybe a lot of kids are going to be coming out of what i'm doing. if they don't get some rain here and you know they're. going to go fine. there will be nobody here

rich or they will be able to be all that so. when i when the coal mines i was eighteen years old it was around and i asked worked in a coma for five years underground two years surface i am a waiter here. two hours thirteen seems an hour rusty is and says that how much around anymore. he has are very few. years not as much money in the town. which. one my doing here i just got out of jail one. possession of stolen property. i'm not here. jails jail.

as. i feed you three times a day. for. all a step. i don't need all those things you. need you. here with me. it's no. good so. when. you know i'm down. this well i was a teenager smith and jones and screamed this is through the roof is places really oh and the story carried a pistol on us twelve year old enough carried we'll never see a snow steal care. of all i've learned way now oh i.

must tell him that way every. so. carol. i'm the gun guy here the pawn shop here for the past five years we take everything from you know d.v.d.'s to. boat motors or whatever you want to madge and we have some motorcycles smothered in the mining equipment like us say we would take a lot of that stuff you would sell a four hundred dollar mining helmet maybe once a week the lights daily but the fact of the mining mines are shut down makes it difficult to sell that stuff because these were these were being sold to personal miners for their own use they're not in mining anymore course they're not buying it

. mine. where all of them are very accounting. ever. in the space itself today it's hard to see any traces help deter and past their once made hard in the tories. the county is still mostly dry and once one forty years people used to make moonshine knowledge drugs are on the rice a trust pain killers prescribed by doctors to treat danger and six miners now i'll ask a prime d.m.t. . there's a lot of people here this is a big tradition or a. nurse said. very much anything that makes them feel better and are they going to make them feel better. we have

a lot of problems with items that are coming in that are stolen. maybe not just from drug users but that is a problem you know it's a guinness desperation to try to get some money to maintain a habit you know and i think since all this you know all the mining and depression of the mining everything it's caused. a rise in pills. it's the pills or the new alcohol. you're talking about the forty inch in the. forty's and fifty's. so in the fifty's well we made blue shirts only. here in the silver week because. this will be able to hope for as we carry in brazil yourself for a dollar again. the black berries will go to order again we get a lift you know. money from there to buy clothes and some food for them we're.

mostly what would love for in the food was corn meal lowered. so we would go a bit though we will also get a. flat. in the beginning and we're going to take a few packet wanted him last and it towards the end of my early days now if they. found its way in. and maybe before they switch to the ones in jail. i want to see if you know where they have a sales an hour and they have with the jobs around. it showed them down all the coal mines of. laughter at the mars is alive in nature and maybe and people. in power. it's no more.

together the pieces sober remote who are to i only get a glimpse off. i only wonder where own that energy came from. the energy that lights up the luxury so. there was will leave the his hole for his work when the herd is little girls green. paulo daddy dear daddy plays golf away. with. all they don't go to the. madre would. come true. oh oh daddy dear daddy plays doll away. with. the.
