The Corexit Collection: Articles…Florida Oil Spill Law
Please scroll down for current articles about the dispersant Corexit, dispersed oil and their effects in the Gulf of Mexico and on its people.
BP Advisor: “not sure” of it’s companies responsibility to take care of the Corexit aftermath.
A good overview of the ongoing damage:
The Crime of the Century: What BP and the US and the Government Doesn’t Want You to Know Part 1.
The Jaws Syndrome; Life Imitates Art On The Gulf Coast; The Crime of the Century Part 2
Two articles by Jerry Cope: the first chronicles the killing of the wildlife by a mixture of crude oil and Corexit while the second illustrates the illnesses in people and how little is being done to address or warn the people of the serious risks involved on the Gulf Coast.
Both: very good and very important.
And a recent addition at the six month marker from the explosion, also by Jerry Cope
Undefeated: The Gulf Coast 6 Months After the Blowout
Hey everybody, as I am much shorter on time these days, I have to formally bow out of this collection. I turn it over to another website that is doing a fantastic job of the same thing, much better than I’ve done…so for further updates:
Check out Florida Oil Spill Law
Every time I feel my emotional involvement starting to ebb, it’s where I go and in short order I’m pissed off at this whole situation all over again and again and again and again…
Check them out, they are that good!

I have been researching the corexit. I wish I found this site sooner. I have some videos I collected from Youtube that shows Pensacola beaches bubbling too. Right there on the beach. Here is a URL of Fishermen in LA oysterbeds, from just a couple days ago on Corexit and oil still present in the waters that are now deemd “clean” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxAUGiIXMwU&feature=player_embedded

Great! If you click on my username it will take you to my BP Blog. Anything there at all you want, just take it. I am so sickened by all of this. This post here isn’t about corexit, but I think it will interest you.
http://oilybeauhunk.blogspot.com/2010/08/open-letter-to-world-wide-web.html
Hang in there. I know there is a lot of snark on the web about this mess, but there are a lot of people, myself included, who are doing what they can to keep this in the press, and to keep pressuring our local reps to do something meaningful to mitigate this insanity. Sometimes when I think how neck deep our own government is in this mess and the subsequent coverup, I just want to vomit.
How can people with integrity find anyone worthy of that alone, to represent them in a government that is so incredibly corrupt and incompetent?
