In a great article about the GCCF, Riki Ott attacks both Feinberg’s recent declaration that he’s received no health related claims, and also how being the scientist he is, hasn’t seen any scientific evidence of the link between BP and Nalco’s chemicals and Gulf Coast sickness: “Recently Kenneth Feinberg, the lawyer overseeing the $20 billion Gulf Coast Claims Facility to “make it right” for people harmed by the British … Continue reading Riki Ott, marine toxicologist, weighs in on the Feinberg lie…
Most everybody’s aware by now there were an abnormal amount of dead dolphin calves washing ashore this year, as well as a much larger than usual number of turtles dying, and there is of course the red snapper, with the NOAA recommending if fishermen catch the fish, or any other kinds of fish with lesions, fin rot or other assorted maladies they not touch them … Continue reading Dolphins, Turtles, Red Snapper…and now, sand dollars and starfish…
Okay… So you guys start two wars, deregulate the banking industry and the markets… The wars don’t end, the investment banks start manipulating markets with the complicity of the Federal Reserve… Thus, leading to a bunch of bad loans sold as good loans leading to the collapse of the housing market and the near collapse of the banks… The government continues giving tax breaks to … Continue reading Just so I’m completely clear on this…

From the St. Petersburg Times: “Lenny Stamos, owner of Beach Cyclists in St. Pete Beach, said he sent in five years of sales tax returns to document his $34,000 loss for last summer.

He’s represented by a lawyer. “My wife and I borrowed $30,000 on our credit cards to keep the business going,” … Continue reading People continue to be left behind by the GCCF…
Yeah, Feinberg and the GCCF are doing a number on the Gulf Coast residents right now, but lest we forget…he and his shenanigans would hardly be necessary if British Petroleum’s explosion of the Deepwater Horizon hadn’t occurred in the first place, killing eleven men and trashing an eco-system. The Department of Justice is currently deciding whether to press manslaughter charges against various British Petroleum personnel. In … Continue reading The Manslaughter Case Against BP…
Remember these old hits? Tony Hayward says he “wants his life back?” Or how about that now infamous slogan of British Petroleum’s concerning all things oil spill, that pledge to”make things right.” Well, as someone who blogs about these subjects, these two statements gave me a lot of mileage. They were tailor-made, a way to give a verbal “screw-you” to the whole damn company every … Continue reading BP certainly has a way with the catchphrase…a personal thanks to Bob

Imagine: You are the neutral arbitrator of a large compensation fund and you are being roundly criticized. The people making damage claims say you are underpaying them, being too slow, denying too many and tell anyone who will listen how you are not neutral, but are working for the company who is paying out the damages.
