That’s not all Dennis–check out the story about BP “discouraging” hospitals and doctors from treating anyone on the Gulf who has the ill effects of exposure to dispersants and oil. And its not just the workers hired to be out there, either, it’s people who live on the coast and have no where to go.

Comment on Pensacola News Journal: Oil spill: BP reverses, admits there’s oil in local waters (in FLORIDA) by Dennis Henize

Dennis Henize — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 21:54:56 +0000

Now that BP has stated both that there is oil and that there isn’t oil, I guess that means they’re fulfilled their responsibility by saying both. Just like our mainstream media does. Just report both sides of a controversy, never mind that one side is right and the other isn’t.

So BP.. please tell us… which time were you lying?

Comment on NBC: Another oil rig explosion reported in Gulf by Dennis Henize

Dennis Henize — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 21:46:10 +0000

Sure didn’t take long for the oil company to get the Coast Guard in line about that mile-long oil sheen they reported earlier. So did the CG just imagine they saw an oil sheen? Maybe the oil company hired Thad Allen to be their spokesman the same way he worked for BP. Though retired, his rank would give him plenty of pull with the Coast Guard, so as to get everyone telling the same story. Shame on the Coast Guard for seeing that oil.

Comment on NBC: Another oil rig explosion reported in Gulf by Dennis Henize

Dennis Henize — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 19:57:24 +0000

Oh how nice. And the lies are already gushing out. “The platform wasn’t producing”. “The platform was processing oil from seven wells”. “There’s an oil slick”. “There’s no oil slick”. The above aren’t word-for-word quotes, but are paraphrased from the news stories I’ve read in the past hour.

But it doesn’t matter, right? Whatever oil ends up in the Gulf… 75% of it will magically disappear or turn into lemonade or orange-blossom honey, or whatever it is we’re supposed to believe happened to it.

Not to worry. Offshore oil drilling is perfectly safe, as BP kept telling us even as their catastrophe increased exponentially (as the truth leaked out). And in shallow water, as this one is, it’s even more than perfectly safe, right?

Of course this time, since we’re dealing with a Texas company, we’ll get nothing but the truth, right?

Sorry, I can’t help being cynical.

Comment on Christian Science Monitor: Drilling moratorium: US cites weak spot in blowout preventers by David Lansdell

The problem with all the off the wall comments and theories about what happened on the Deep Water Horizon, including those of the so called industry experts; is that they and no one else knows what was inside the BOP at the time the subsea engineer operated the EDS button on the rigs, after two massive explosions, maybe half the rig floor had fallen down the riser, the only way to know is to recover the BOP, with the rams still closed so we can see what is inside it, that will tell the truth and the facts.. but the one thing you can say with almost 100% certainty is that the “BOP Didn’t cause the BLOWOUT”

Mr.Kaufman is correct . This decision was politically motivated and it was a end run around EPA administration and the experts within the agency. Once again Politics trumps science and those in the academic field that have been purchased by BP to testify against this evidence should be recognized by their peers for what they truly represent.

Comment on Business Week-Bloomberg: BP Oil Spill Lawsuits spread to States beyond Gulf Coast by Orval Mainetti

It appears that the oil spill has has finally ceased, it are going to be very exciting to see if the pressure tests work as planned. I actually hope they get this point completely solved as soon as can be. I am definitely troubled that there is going to be some severe repercussions in time. I think that seafood industry will probably be affected for many decades to come. It’s poor enough how the wildlife continues to be injured so greatly, but I also experience that shoppers will no longer be capable to eat seafood with any level of confidence.

Thank you Linda for your extensive reporting and updates. The news blackouts and self-imposed censorship by the media make it impossible for us to learn the conditions you describe, observe and freely share (I am in New England). Hopefully, the official gag orders imposed by Washington and enforced by private and government agents will not prove to be in the worst interest of the poeple along the Gulf. It is a horrible thought to think that Washington would put at risk millions of innocents to satisfy the financial interests of BP and Corporate America. Time will give us that answer. Meanwhile, keep reporting. If anyone has found a website with similar reportage, please share it.

NOAA’s testimony on this to Congress was embarrassing. How can they NOT be testing the water and sealife for contamination. More importantly, how can they NOT FIND such contamination given the millions of gallons of oil and dispersants dumped in the Gulf.

Comment on Action Alert: July 20th–HELP SEND THE MESSAGE TO LEGISLATORS TO BAN OIL DRILLING IN FLORIDA by Susan Ferguson

Susan Ferguson — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 23:08:30 +0000

We have so loved to vacation in Florida for about 10 years now…this whole Deepwater Horizon Incident should be a wake up call – look how their (BP) need for greed has affected the enormous amount of people and wildlife on the panhandle, and more. This is unforgiveable, inexcusable, maddening. The oil industry has proven that one careless mistake can destroy so much, and for years to come. It is not worth it. Many of us are in disbelief that these oil companies are given so much lee-way. We are tired of the politicians being bought out by big business while pushing we, the people, to the side. We are watching you all, carefully:)

The runaway well MAY be capped, but the lies and coverups are going to go on and on and on. It’s not difficult to understand why Chambers of Commerce and tourist development agencies all along the Gulf coast want tourists to keep coming. And sure, it may be safe to go to the beach and in many places to even play in the water. After all, being a tourist involves much more than playing on beaches and in the water.

But damn it, NOAA and the FDA damn well ought to be rigorously testing seafood and honestly reporting the findings. The default assumptions SHOULD be that significant hydrocarbons and chemical dispersants are in the food chain. Unless all the living things in the Gulf have been holding their breath, and not eating, for the last three months.

Comment on Newsweek: Katrina vs. the Spill: Useful Comparison? by Paul Harris

Paul Harris — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 06:55:05 +0000

It’s important to remember that during Katrina the media selected many more antagonists for us to get our ire up towards (FEMA, Michael Brown, Mayor Nagin, Gov. Blanco, Bush, and even the citizens of New Orleans). For this oil spill they have designated B.P. and Obama, so naturally Obama is going to take a huge brunt of the anger whether or not it’s deserved.

The comparisons though are weak. If a person is pro-life one needs to consider that over 1800 lives were lost after Katrina and the failed levees. Prior to the oil spill 11 lives were lost and no human lives since the oil started spewing. That is a tremendous difference.

In addition, few Americans remember or knew that a video and transcripts were uncovered 6 months after Katrina that clearly show President Bush being forewarned by Gov. Blanco, the Head of the Hurricane Center, and the Head of FEMA that the levees might be breached and that this storm was very likely to be devastating. Bush seemed indifferent and days after Katrina stated that “no one could have foreseen the breach of the levees.” This video showed him caught in a lie and fully warned.

Comment on New York Times: A Line in the Sand over Offshore Drilling by Wendy Wyatt

I hope this oil spill is getting attention about how “stupid” off shore drilling really is. We are the only species that destroy our own water, and that’s not all. This is what really disturbs me. It seems like even though we are still experiencing the expansion of damage hourly, everyone is slow to respond, and many Americans are not aware of the seriousness of the situation. People are either not aware, are in denial, or it is the “by stander effect” where everyone is assuming someone else is going to do something about it. The human race is a pitiful disgrace to creation.

Obama told America that if we can win WWII and put a man on the moon, we can plug this leak and solve our dependency on fossil fuels.

But there’s a missing piece: the soldiers in WWII had the Pentagon and Neil Armstrong had NASA. What’s the man on the street supposed to do to solve the fossil fuel problem? Is it time for an organized, funded effort? One that will prevent crises like the spill from happening while figuring out a way to get off of fossil fuel?

Comment on Washington Post: Apparent suicide by fishing boat captain underlines oil spill’s emotional toll by Merle Savage

Merle Savage — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 01:25:05 +0000

As the crude oil continues to invade the Gulf; BP, the US Government, the Coast Guard, and other official agencies monitoring the toxic crude, continues to FIDDLE. That is what I called the “Dance of Deliberate Deception”. No one will come forward with the intestinal fortitude, and declare the obvious – that crude oil is toxic to breath. There are warnings posted wherever the refined oil is found, like gas stations. I have been told that a medical study cannot be conducted until after 6 months of exposure. WHAT? There have been 21 years since the exposure of the crude oil in Prince William Sound, and no one is listening. So, after 6 months of workers in the gulf breathe in the crude oil, a study can be conducted? That leads me to believe that the government is holding up the rug, while BP sweeps known reports under the same rug, and the other agencies conduct the “Dance of Deliberate Deception” on top of the rug.

Anyone who reads this alert, stand with me, and demand honest answers for the Gulf residents, and cleanup workers who will be suffering from the crude oil toxic fumes if this political dance continues.

This alert has been posted since day one of the Gulf crude oil spill, and I will continue posting until BP supplies beach oil cleanup workers respirators.

My name is Merle Savage, a female general foreman during the Exxon Valdez oil spill (EVOS) beach cleanup in 1989. I am one of the 11,000+ cleanup workers, who is suffering from health issues from that toxic cleanup, without compensation from Exxon.

Dr. Riki Ott visited me in 2007 to explain about the toxic spraying on the beaches, and informed me that Exxon’s medical records that surfaced in litigation by sick workers in 1994, had been sealed from the public, making it impossible to hold Exxon responsible for their actions. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5632208859935499100

Beach crews breathed in crude oil that splashed off the rocks and into the air — the toxic exposure turned into chronic breathing conditions, central nervous system problems, neurological impairment, chronic respiratory disease, leukemia, lymphoma, brain tumors, liver damage, and blood disease. http://www.silenceinthesound.com/stories.shtml

Comment on AP: Judge blocks Gulf offshore drilling moratorium & CNN: Federal judge blocks drilling moratorium in Gulf by Moratorium?

Moratorium? — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 09:20:06 +0000

Obama administration comes under increasing criticism for its handling of the spreading environmental catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico. Oil spill in gulf turned out to be a pull down on our economic state, aside from the destruction it cause to our eco system
Well this is certain to stir up some controversy. The drilling moratorium that was put into location was overturned by a judge. In short, offshore drilling will continue regardless of this accident. Drilling moratorium overturned by judge with oil company holdings
There are dozens of off shore drilling projects either in the works already or planned, and the judge says they should continue. Because oil is offshore, the drilling will continue; and this BP event is an accident that will not really stop drilling offshore. It would be really hard to stop an oil tycoon from getting their way, especially with how much tax money comes from oil. There is no need for an installment loan to fight offshore drilling; oil tycoons have way too much money.

This entire oil spill with BP is insanity.

God granted us free will to do, think, act, behave, etc in whatever way we wish and experience the consequences, the effects, good or bad, resulting from same. The Spirit of God / Goddess is within us all, therefore we possess creative power. Jesus said ” Ye are Gods “.

It has been said that what man causes ( disaster in the Gulf ) man must put right – God or the angels cannot do it for us, although they can inspire us in whatever way is appropriate.

Most of the great spiritual teachers and teachings say that there are no such thing as innocent victims, that we create our own reality. Yea, a bummer but probably true.

Sending positive energy, love, to the Gulf area may do far more good than the anger that is being generated presently.

Folks currently are questioning if God is so good, then why did He cause, or why did He allow the Deepwater Disaster to occur, killing 11 innocent men, and putting the entire eco system of the Gulf of Mexico into a catastrophic decline. And it’s not only the ecosystem but the future health and livelihoods of the Gulf’s inhabitants and possibly those of the entire southern parts of the USA. – Not to mention innocent people elsewhere, which the deadly toxins might affect, as is being postulated currently.

Go back to the top hat seal the bottom with doors. From the surface create,pull, a tremendous vacum inside the top hat from above. Place it over the well head release the doors they will implode causing the top hat to pull down over the well head and also the vacum will pull the oil and gas together and help the gas pressure to push the oil and gas to the surface. Once the top hat is firmly in place the vacum can be reduced.

According to the independent inspector for BP, the BP oil platform called Atlantis is in worse condition than the Deepwater Horizon rig. He stated “if the Atlantis rig had an oil spill, the oil would cover the entire Gulf”. It’s not a matter of IF but WHEN.

The damage is NOT done. As we sleep millions of gallons of oil are continuing to damage. And as for “months to come” it will take decades to recover even if we stop the drilling now.
We must stop all drilling in the oceans now. As for the Brits, I am truly sorry that they have turned our gulf into a sewer and it has caused their stock in BP to go down. But the other oil companies are not different. They are all a part of encouragement of dependence on oil that is motivated by sheer greed. Our first challenge is to shut this flow down, next shut all offshore oil drilling down and third commit to alternate fuel sources and force BP to clean this mess up asap!
