Tons of Tar Balls, Widespread Illness, Poisoned Seafood: BP Pays Dividends to Stockholders While Gulf Coast Victims Get Shafted
We will continue to report on the criminal syndicate which calls itself “British Petroleum” or “BP”—and its massive destruction to America’s Gulf Coast…and probably well beyond. This includes is reckless, if not sinister, use of the untested-on-flora and fauna “dispersant” called “Corexit” as well as its clear cut “criminal negligence’ in the homicides of 12 of its workers and the extensive poisoning of clean up workers and all the residents of the 5 Gulf Coast states…if not throughout the United States.
Wake up America. Fight off your corporate mass media induced COLLECTIVE AMNESIA. The Gulf Coast and all of America is at risk!! Here’s the update: (more…)
BP Oil Disaster’s January 2011 Update: Chiselers, Environmental Criminals and Climate Changers

Horizon Explosion ~ America’s Chernobyl
Out of sight, out of mind? Sucker! That’s exactly what BP and their U.S. government and mass media allies want your brain to work (or not work). If you don’t keep paying close attention to the world’s worst environmental disaster ever, YOU may well become one of their millions of victims and not even realize who to blame and hold responsible for your misery.
First, that oil that spewed from that wellhead is still mostly there, underwater, doing damage and the worst is yet to come. (more…)
BP: Where Did the Oil Go? The Bad News is That It Is Now Dispersed and Submerged—and More Dangerous Than Ever, Just like BP.

Below is a 20 minute video by Dr. Carl Safina, an ocean wildlife scientist and the founder of the Blue Ocean Institute. He discusses the real situation in the Gulf…The oil may be out of sight now and out of the “mess media’s” attention, but the fundamental political economic causes and the lingering human and aquatic life consequences remain.

Mayday! Wake Up America! It’s a “National Emergency!”: Use “Eminent Domain” to Takeover BP’s Assets Before It’s Too Late!!

The following videos should scare the Hell out of you about what’s REALLY happening in the Gulf of Mexico thanks to BP and its collusion with the United States government, and yes, that includes The U.S. Coast Guard and the Environmental Protection Agency. (more…)
BP and the Gulf of Cheney: Paradigm Changer?
Tuesday, June 15th, 2010By Peter Weiss
The BP Gulf oil fiasco is entering the chaotic stage. The rising cacophony of noise and needs screaming out from everywhere + those endless pathetic images of creeping calamity and death + the sheer impotence of anyone to effectively change any of it = an aimless, scattershot, boiling rage unique in the American memory bank.
Pandora's Box
“Pandora’s Well,” as wildlife expert Jeff Corwin has termed it, will permanently alter the Gulf and everything in and around it. Four states and incalculable lives and life are being diminished each second Pandora belches forth the hideous gurgling, churning column of toxic filth.
Ocean explorer Jean-Michel Cousteau, Jacque’s son, interviewed on the PBS NewsHour, said this:
“I’m talking about now something which is, who knows, 10, 20, 30 times what the Exxon Valdez has done, which is happening right in the Gulf right now, and still going on, and is going to spill out into the Caribbean, into the Gulf Stream, and it’s going to go all the way to Europe.” BP may yet come home to roost. Yet the fault is not Britain’s any more than it is others affected by this grotesque travesty.
The blame belongs to us, the United States of America. (more…)
The Crumbling American Empire–June 5, 2010 Edition: Three Photos from Reuters.com Reveal The Sad Truth
Saturday, June 5th, 2010By Ted Becker
One of my go-to news sources is the international news service named Reuters—named after its founder. It has been around for over 150 years, is UK based, and recently was merged with Thompson and is now formally called Thompson Reuters. It is a very good general and financial fountain of information and opinion…as good or better than any in the USA. I visit it every day and recommend that as a good starting point—surely before you turn on any American TV news channel. It’s at www.reuters.com (more…)
BP, Part III: The Gulf Gusher (Not a “Spill”) Is America’s Chernobyl
Friday, June 4th, 2010By Ted Becker
Will someone please wake up “The Editor in Chief” and tell him he’s now the “Commander in Chief” and that an epic disaster is underway. The way to handle this NATIONAL EMERGENCY and MAJOR THREAT TO AMERICA’S NATIONAL SECURITY is not (a) to look at a few tar balls on a beach; (b) vacation in Chicago; and (c) party with Paul McCartney at the White House.

Boycott BP, Part II: It’s On! Do Your Part!
Wednesday, May 26th, 2010by Ted Becker
100% of T-Shirt Proceeds Go To Charity!
There are already reports of an informal boycott of BP gasoline stations in Florida and according to CNNmoney.com “An online movement to boycott BP for its role in the Gulf of Mexico oil spill is growing at a rate of better than 25,000 names-a-day” Sales are down and plunging. And why not? The evidence mounts every day of BP’s initial recklessness, its gross negligence just before the well blew, its fascist actions to suppress information, and so far not much more than empty rhetoric from the U.S. government…and the threat of a wave of endless lawsuits that might be settled in 20 years.

Weather Forecast for Summer 2010: Hot in Iraq, Hotter in Afghanistan and, Possibly, The First Oil-icane and Oil Rains
Saturday, May 15th, 2010By Ted Becker
No, I’m not a meteorologist or TV weatherman…and I’m not a Bob Dylan “Weatherman” either. However, I can see the way patterns are emerging and I can engage in the not-so-fine art (not science) of geopolitical forecasting of short term futures. So here’s what I see in store for the Summer of 2010. (more…)
