When this didn’t work guess what the next step was? Shredded newspapers, sawdust and some kind of polymer. You’re right – it didn’t work either.

So, high levels of radioactive water continue to pour into the ocean. Just like BP took months to control the oil leakage, Japan is now admitting that it could take months to control the nuclear leakage.

And – just like BP pretended to have the environmental catastrophy under control, Japan officials have pretended to have the nuclear disaster somewhat under control. Thankfully, some of the radioactive water dissipates in the ocean but how much? Also, the atmosphere is containing nuclear dust and moisture which in turn rains down on crops.

There is one big difference though. President Obama and BP turned down willing and capable help whereas Japan is smart enough to at least except the help.

President Obama’s Transparent Administration Not So Transparent

Some disgusted citizens and an attorney who is suing BP said the commission’s findings were “absolutely absurd.” Also, a Yale University professor said the investigation was overlooking BP’s record of disasters after cost cutting measures by BP. The professor is Charles Perrow, a respected technological disaster academics.

So much for transparency.

Halliburton was blamed also, deservedly so, by BP and commission investigators. Halliburton admitted blame on its cement procedures a few weeks ago. This still doesn’t excuse BP who was ultimately responsible for every decision made on the Horizon Deep Water rig. It is just so sad that President Obama touted his administration as being the most transparent – when just the opposite is the case.

No wonder many are calling some, so called, independent commission findings a cover-up. When some scientists found evidence of harmful oil deposits along the Gulf Coast that enter the food chain – they were questioned about “permits” because the findings contradicted a commission’s desired reports. How pitiful.

BP Loves Bacteria Eating Oil

Thank GOD

that the bacteria is eating much of the oil. However, there is absolutely no way to tell how much oil is still causing tremendous damage to ocean life at the bottom of the ocean floor. Alaska is still suffering from the Exxon Valdez disaster more than 20 years later.

Millions of gallons of oil just does not all disappear, bacteria or no bacteria.

Scientists are finding oil plumes. I just hope when we eat fish, whether it’s tuna in a can, from a grocery store or at a restaurant it isn’t tainted with oil from the Gulf Coast – courtesy of BP.

are more believable in general to me. How about you? You see, I’m a very independent thinker and only concerned about the truth. It is amazing how many people go to such extreme measures to defend an agenda that falls under their political lines. And say such goofy things in the process.

I’m an independent conservative but absolutely do not agree with Saun Hannity that BP was there from day one. Also, President George W Bush, waived the Jones Act during Hurricane Katrina to get vital help for victims during a disaster. President Obama refused to suspend the Jones Act and now the American people, wildlife and the environment are paying an awful price. And BP – what a disaster.

Get the facts on the oil spill along with BP’s and President Obama’s reactions and undecisiveness. Look up the Jones Act. Dig, dig, dig until you know what is really happening – or at least to the best of our ability.

Big Oil, Big Money, Big Greed. Pretty soon I’ll get back on the global freezing and global warming speak, as long as there are no more oil spill disasters.

They acted quickly spending millions of dollars on public relations including television commercials to try and get the public back on their side. However, when it comes to acting quickly for the Gulf Coast residents and the environment BP is wanting, badly.

You can fool some of the people some of the time – but not all the people all of the time.

BP and other Big Profit Oil Companies Ignore Environment for Profits

People say we need more regulations and I agree. But this is only part of the solution. If the Federal Government does not enforce those regulations, their not worth the paper their written on. We had regulations but the filthy rich oil companies somehow convince or pay off regulators.

Sure some environmental safeguards are put into place, but they are miniscule when it comes down to the overall picture. How many oi companies are cleaning up old oil wells on their own?

Close to zero. It cost money.

It matters not that BP and other oil companies make billions of dollars, they greedily want more so ignore the regulations. Even if it is taking a huge gamble on destroying the environment, wildlife and people’s livelihoods. To watch President Obama and BP turn away help until the damage was done – well what words are there for that?

And a lot of the turning down was because of money. What is pitiful is that the environmental cleanup cost much more than what it would have if help was accepted initially. So trying to save money backfired. BP – BIG PROFITS. See my oil spill plan.

BP Managing Director Bob Dudley & Kalamazoo River Oil Spill in Michigan

Bob Dudley Bad Choice For BP CEO

Unbelievable!

Does BP need another pretender as CEO? I’m sick of it all. Now there’s an oil spill in the Kalamazoo River in Michigan. About 19,500 barrels of oil leaking into a river is a huge amount. Old pipes which broke is apparently the cause. There are old oil and gas pipes all across the United States. America needs a huge facelift of repaired and new infrastructure. And please do not put someone like BP’s Tony Hayward or Bob Dudley in charge of it.

Did BP and Tony Hayward Do Less Damage Than Enron and Kenneth Lay

BP Filed a 582 Page Report to Federal Regulators

No wonder an Associated Press analysis described how BP officials were pretty much making it up as they went along. Also in the 582 page document was BP’s ability to have skimmers in the Gulf of Mexico so oil would not end up on the coastal states. Then when the oil spill actually happened they turned down help and CEO, Tony Hayward, again assured everyone oil would not reach the coastal states.

An accurate reading of how much oil was leaking would have allowed Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida to better prepare for a catastrophe. Again, BP self righteously proclaimed they were trying to stop the oil leakage opposed to trying to measure the amount of oil leaking. Finally, after many wasted days, BP was pressured to give an account of how much oil was spilling into the Gulf of Mexico.

BP’s and President Obama’s Delayed Reaction

FACTS
Facts were hidden so BP could tell a different story. Just like safety measures were covered up and ignored as actual Deepwater Horizon rig survivors are testifying now.

Enron Can Be Dissolved But BP PLC Can Not?

There are hard working innocent employees at BP just like there were at Enron. There is a big difference though. Enron destroyed employees livelihoods as well as the hopes of many investors. BP PLC destroyed employees livelihoods, investors in the Gulf States economy, wildlife, the environment of the Gulf States for years to come and eleven oil rig workers lives were lost because of safety violations.

What The Average Citizen Can Do About Protesting For A Clean Environment

I read an interesting opinion in a local newspaper recently. A woman said she was brought up to express here opinions and was doing so by boycotting BP. She had heard the same accusations as others about how people hurt BP employees by boycotting them. Do not blame the concerned citizen who has no other recourse available to make a difference – except by expressing themselves at the pump. Blame the deceptive oil company like you did when Enron went bust.

Is This Saying You Should Boycott BP?

That is for you to decide. But understand, Enron and Kenneth Lay did less collateral damage than BP and Tony Hayward but didn’t get a break, and rightly so. Many will say but Enron broke the law. Oh, making up a document and submitting it to Federal Regulators so you can drill deep into the Gulf of Mexico, without the safety precautions you claim to have is not breaking the law. Pretending to have a BOP (Blow Out Preventor) properly functioning is ok when a non functional one can cause death and destruction.

Remember, it is the fault of the one who caused the catastrophe – not the people who are trying to prevent another one by boycotting BP. An environmental plan could have prevented a whole lot of misery.

BP's Containment Cap Holding Steady But May Be Seaping Oil From the Well Head

BP’s Containment Cap

Retired Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen

What is troubling is that everyone from President Obama to BP to retired Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen are all aware of this and sometimes have differing views on how to handle the situation. This does not give confidence to Gulf Coast residents nor the rest of the world. Comments on a second leak close by later. What more?

BP Containment Cap Successfully Covers Oil Leak-Pressure Must Stabilize

BP and the world is hoping the valves work properly. The next 24 to 48 hours are crucial in determining the success of the containment cap.
