Former Sen. Stevens knew BP was cheating on BOP tests. Could he have been whacked because what he knew ties directly into the Gulf oil disaster?
The 48-year-old veteran oil worker claims that in the oil industry, particularly at BP, "the culture is basically safety procedures are shoved down your throat and then they look the other way when it's convenient for them." He claims that oil operators often wouldn't report spills and that when he spilled chemical fluid in 2003, he was told by his superiors not to report it. Mason, who now runs a small operation hauling freight in the Alaskan bush and owns guest cabins, says he was fired by a drilling company in 2006 after he wrote a letter to the editor of the Anchorage Daily News to condemn the firm for incorporating overseas and thereby avoiding taxes.
Mason and another oil worker provided sworn statements in a 2003 lawsuit that rig supervisors "routinely falsified reports to show equipment designed to prevent blowouts was passing state-mandated performance tests," reported the Wall Street Journal in 2005.

August 9, 2010 - Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska, 86, the longest-serving Republican senator in history, was among nine people on board when the 1957 DeHavilland DHC-3 Otter, crashed into a brush- and rock-covered mountainside Monday afternoon about 17 miles north of the southwest Alaska fishing town of Dillingham, federal officials said. Stevens was the recipient of a whistleblower's communication relative to the BP Oil Disaster blow-out preventer, and a conspiracy of secrecy to hide the facts from the public.

"You and your fellow Committee members may wish to require BP to explain what action was ultimately instituted to cease the practice of falsifying BOP tests at BP Prudhoe drilling rigs. It was a cost saving but dangerous practice, again endangering the BP workforce, until I exposed it to Senator Ted Stevens, the EPA, and the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission." The cause of the crash is still an OPEN investigation by the NTSB (http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/GenPDF.asp?id=ANC10MA068&rpt=p" target="_new">http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/GenPDF.asp?id=ANC10MA068&rpt=p)

Yes it was a preventer alright. With so much attention focused on a worthless piece of @!$%#, it prevented the investigation from focusing on the real issues and causes of the disaster. Was it intentionally meant to a piece of diversion? They knew there would be an investigation, why not put something totally absurd to occupy the investigators, law suits and those A$$holes who were told to do their job at that time - rush the project out, ask no questions and fire those who asked pesky questions.
So now the @!$%# is stuck at these A$$holes. The puppet masters sit, watch and laugh at these dumbfound A$$holes trying to answer simple questions like - why didn't you issue a stop work order when things are clearly not in working order? You can't beat that. So watch out new A$$holes, the karma is going to get you. Stop working for these criminals or you will be next once your job is done. You are dispensable. .......sigh an A$$hole is born every minute around the world somewhere.
