Don’t Let Your Eyes and BP and Government Propaganda Fool You
The Gulf of Mexico is “Open for Business.” Why it’s a miracle. It’s like there never was anything that BP ever did to harm it. The water is sooooo clear and blue and the jellyfish, sharks, snappers and tasty little shrimps are as healthy and happy as can be. Here’s one of their “C’mon Down and Enjoy” ads. It’s short, but very good public relations.

Tackiest Public Relations Award:
The Nominees: Barack Obama; BP; The U.S. Coast Guard; EPA; NOAA.
The Winner: BP
BP’s public relations campaign exceeded all expectations of tackiness. By spending more money on PR than in helping the victims of their felonious negligence, they have outdistanced their competitors by a wide margin. Here are a couple of their ads that exemplify their excellence at being so obvious: one to reassure us that BP is doing a great job on the Gulf restoration and the other to make you feel that your soul is invigorated when you drive into their spic and span petrol stations to pay outrageous prices for their gasoline.

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…)

As we’ve been fearing, there is further evidence pointing to one of the catastrophic possibilities caused by BP’s criminal and homicidal negligence at the Deepwater Horizon well in the Gulf of Mexico.
A South African Internet news site reported on January 30th several items that add credence to our last post on this subject. First, they cite “Polish meteorologists” claiming the Winter of 2010-11 to be the worst in Europe in 1,000 years.
Yes, the coldest in a millennium
Second, they cite Scandanavia, in particular, as proof. This comes as no surprise if what we described in earlier blogs about the damage done to the Gulf Loop by the dissipating submerged mountain of oil, Corexit, and methane….courtesy of BP…was accurate. (more…)

In some of our earlier posts on the BP oil volcano, we made note of the possibilities that this gusher could have long range, global catastrophic consequences, just as did the nuclear meltdown of the Chernobyl reactor a few decades ago. Much of Europe was seriously impacted by that for quite some time—with some long term effects still being experienced.
Unfortunately, Al Gore, managed to popularize the term “global warming” as being the major bogey man we Earthlings must fear if we continue our unquenchable thirst for carbon based energy and power. The phenomenon we must actually fear is better defined as “CLIMATE CHANGE” – which would include “global warming.” It would also include “glaciation”—something for which we’re about to sound another alarm. GLACIATION? Isn’t that the exact opposite of “global warming”? Well, sort of…but not exactly. But whatever….they’re both part of CLIMATE CHANGE, the REAL menace to humanity’s continued “civilized” presence on this planet.

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…)

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.

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…)

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…)
