As the Narrative Turns…Fraudulent Fisherman…Agenda Setting in the Gulf

Almost five years ago, I and the rest of the country watched the results from the Corp of Engineers faulty New Orleans levee’s and then the equally disastrous response by Bush and his buddies at FEMA as they spilled out across the major news networks. The original story pointed the finger of blame at the then President and the equally inept FEMA director, but over … Continue reading As the Narrative Turns…Fraudulent Fisherman…Agenda Setting in the Gulf

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?

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?

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…

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…

Wanna know a secret? Shhh…there’s still a ton of oil in the Gulf of Mexico

A funny thing has happened in the Gulf of Mexico these past couple weeks…that oil spill? It’s over, the oil spill is more or less over, all taken care of so you can switch the channel now. The fisherman will be back at work soon, the oil isn’t in the marshes, it’s not on the beaches and it certainly isn’t flowing out of the Macondo … Continue reading Wanna know a secret?

Chemicals in Gulf Seafood? No Worries, We Got Smell Tests

Now that the oil well has been capped in the Gulf, some waters have been reopened for fishing. Inspectors throughout the Gulf Coast are conducting smell tests to determine if the seafood is safe for human consumption. It might seem silly, especially in this day and age there are no better ways to test for chemicals, but the practice is actually quite common. Course, not … Continue reading Chemicals in Gulf Seafood? No Worries, We Got Smell Tests
