BP Claims Top Hat 10 Could Completely Stop Gusher, Now The Pressure’s On Everybody

I sure as hell hope this works and I for one will be glad to nod my head towards those that helped get this thing sealed, but there will be no “thank you’s” in the offing. There will only be more pressure…pressure on BP to “make things right,” as they say. This is America and our attention span is short, and once the majority of … Continue reading BP Claims Top Hat 10 Could Completely Stop Gusher, Now The Pressure’s On Everybody

Scientists feel same pressure to spin research under Obama

“White House officials say the administration’s commitment to science has not wavered.” Interesting quote from an article in the LA Times., considering what a complete line of crap this is. Remember back in the day, when GW Bush was president and we’d read article after article how federal scientists were pressured to align their research with what the Bush administration wanted as policy? Remember when … Continue reading Scientists feel same pressure to spin research under Obama

LA officials say BP may cut payments to 40,000

What’s this? You mean BP was lying when they said they will “make things right?” No way, you can’t be serious. Louisiana’s Department of Children and Family Services were never even formally told by BP payments were being reduced to 40,000 people; they discovered it when they were reviewing BP’s claim summary and noticed a significant cut in daily payments. British Petroleum are a bunch … Continue reading LA officials say BP may cut payments to 40,000

BP, EPA tells cleanup workers they are safe, just don’t breathe

British Petroleum released, quietly…oh so quietly, new information today about their results from chemical testing. What? You mean the PR department didn’t try to splash that one all over Google, Facebook, MySpace, Sarah Palin’s forehead and Texas Congressman Joe Barton’s ass? Nope. Turns out that 20% of the Gulf Coast cleanup crews have been sickened by a chemical that sickened cleanup workers involved in Exxon’s … Continue reading BP, EPA tells cleanup workers they are safe, just don’t breathe

Johnnie Burton, GW’s MMS Director Doesn’t Understand What The Fuss Is About

Johnnie Burton emerges: She was the Mineral and Management Services Director for GW from 2000-2007 and she doesn’t seem to understand what all the hub-bub is about over at the MMS these days. “When I was there, it seemed to work so well,” she says.

Network Evening News Ratings Down Across the Board…Good

Of course. Why wouldn’t they be? I mean, really, haven’t they outlived their usefulness? When was the last time you heard someone say…”Oh man, did you hear what happened in _________, God it’s gonna be almost impossible to wait for Brian Williams to come on at 5:30 so I can get the whole story!” Besides, who the hell gets off work in time to watch … Continue reading Network Evening News Ratings Down Across the Board…Good

From Project Gulf Impact: Kindra Arnesen is back with this latest line of BP coercion…so get this, if the Fisherman in the Gulf Coast decide, for whatever reason (family, toxicity of Corexit, oil, no respirators) etc…British Petroleum  will call this an income source that they willfully decline, and then deduct possible earnings they could have made from any claims of reparation.

Obama, Coast Guard Criminalize Free Access to the Gulf Spill, Reporters Must Now Get Permission

Ed. Note: Since this story broke, the Coast Guard has been trying to deny the evidence, then admitting the rule is in effect, then producing false photographs to show vandalism of boom as reasons why, then saying the photographs were a mistake…many of these corrections done by a woman named Rachel Polish who works PR for a company that has BP as a client, while … Continue reading Obama, Coast Guard Criminalize Free Access to the Gulf Spill, Reporters Must Now Get Permission
