Did the Status Kill Work? Dissenting from the Company Storyline…shared opinions

Well, well, well…it appears all is not well in Macondo-ville after all… According to most mainstream media outlets the Static Kill worked out just fine, in fact, they are now even debating the actual need for completing the relief wells. Cue Thad Allen, circa August 3rd when talking about any possibility of not completing the relief wells to finally seal the Macondo: “There should be … Continue reading Did the Status Kill Work?

British Petroleum, the Government and BlackRock – the Connection?

After initially talking tough, the relationship between British Petroleum and the government has seemed rather conciliatory. The low oil estimates and other data released to the public from the FDA, EPA and NOAA benefits BP while BP’s unwillingness to release anything returns the favor. The water is safe for fishing. The seafood is safe for eating. There is no oil to be found. When BP … Continue reading British Petroleum, the Government and BlackRock – the Connection?

An Open Letter to the Remaining Oil in the Gulf of Mexico

I thought we had a deal. When we released our pie chart back on August 4th, that prop we used to show everybody watching the networks just how 75% of the oil had been removed from the Gulf, we did so under terms of a certain agreement, one that it disappoints us to find you have not kept. You know, we didn’t ask you to … Continue reading An Open Letter to the Remaining Oil in the Gulf of Mexico

Your government does not have your best interest at heart in the Gulf…surprised?

From the St. Petersburg Times, via Mother Jones: A month after the Deepwater Horizon disaster began, scientists from the University of South Florida made a startling announcement. They had found signs that the oil spewing from the well had formed a 6-mile-wide plume snaking along in the deepest recesses of the gulf. The reaction that USF announcement received from the Coast Guard and the National … Continue reading Your government does not have your best interest at heart in the Gulf…surprised?

Let the New Narrative Fly On…

Ever since the Deepwater Horizon exploded on April 20th and the Macondo Well started gushing into the Gulf of Mexico, the fight began on three fronts; the well had to be sealed, the oil had to be cleaned and the story had to be controlled. The Government had to come up with the narrative, find the storyline that painted everyone in the best light, or … Continue reading Let the New Narrative Fly On…

Barack Obama admits to attempted poisoning of friends…

On Friday the FDA deemed safe the seafood caught in waters open for fishing, and they also confirmed that some 1.8 million gallons of chemical dispersants that were poured into the sea to dissipate the massive oil slick was unlikely to show up in the food chain. And since the FDA has been playing this strictly by the books, operating openly and honestly with the … Continue reading Barack Obama admits to attempted poisoning of friends…

Bobby Jindal’s Lack of Transparency Rivals BP’s…

In a press release back on June 16th, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal had the following to say about British Petroleum’s plans to pay reparations: “We are asking federal officials how this new independent claims process will be established…and what degree of transparency it will have to ensure the state has access to claims information.” Jindal’s demand for transparency from British Petroleum would seem fitting, especially … Continue reading Bobby Jindal’s Lack of Transparency Rivals BP’s…

British Petroleum in charge of collecting evidence against British Petroleum

Well, why the hell not? Really, in the Catastraphuk that is the BP oil spill, it actually makes sense. They blow up an oil rig, kill eleven people and dump 4.9 million barrels of oil into the Gulf, and get put in charge of overseeing operations to make sure the oil gets cleaned up…so of course when it comes to possible criminal charges, BP is … Continue reading British Petroleum in charge of collecting evidence against British Petroleum

Of Course It’s Political…

Imagine a country, a place where an oil spill fouled a major body of water off five states. The ensuing damage threw thousands out of work, threatened an entire ecosystem, a culture, killed thousands of birds, fish, sensitive marshlands. The company promised to do everything to make things whole again. The government stepped in and held that company to task while spearheading the greatest mobilization … Continue reading Of Course It’s Political…
