Today is Thursday September 29, 2011. A friend of mine just returned from Venice, Louisiana on a fact finding mission. He spent 2 days there and talked to dozens of fishermen and BP contractors and Coast Guard personnel and there is alot of oil at the Deepwater Horizon-Macondo well site. It is not a sheen, It is several inches thick in some spots. A chemical analysis has confirmed it is Macondo oil.There is alot of activity in Venice and resources are being ramped up.
Word is that geological formation above oil deposit is unstable and oil is leaking from fissures around wellhead. All sealife on ocean bottom is dead according to Woods Hole Oceanograpic Institute in 30+ mile radius from site and Corexit dispersant is present in large amounts. According to Sergio Alex Villalobos who is a toxicologist for Nalco, the company that makes Corexit,”Once It’s mixed with oil,that’s where you get the most impact, that’s were you see most of the toxicity”.
He was quoted in the September 2010 issue of Scientific American magazine on page 26. There are alot of sick people that worked on the initial oil spill cleanup and residents in many coastal towns and cities that are sick. This is the second inning of a long nightmare and anyone who signed a release to get a ‘quickpay’ from BP and their minion Fienberg should hire a lawyer asap and hope they can get their release annulled. BP top brass are sociopaths… “

For more than 35 years, Simmons has run a Texas-based boutique investment bank, Simmons & Co., which specializes in the energy industry. At times, with his somewhat doom-and -loom-like take on things, there's a hint of conspiracy theorist in his tone. But it's hard to ignore that Simmons is deeply connected and has been pretty much right on in the past: When oil was $58 a barrel the year Twilight was released, Simmons predicted prices would be at or above $100 within a few years. By 2008, when Fortune profiled Simmons, the price of crude had hit $147 a barrel.

#2 - Fri Jan 20, 2012 4:00 AM ESTThe denial is aided and abetted by the Obama Administration's NOAA, led by genius Jane Lubchenco, the sociopath administrator.
She made the oil stop, right? With the help of Energy Secretary genius Steven Chu?
Mission Accomplished Genius Jane! Yer doin a Hell of a job!

#5 - Fri Jan 20, 2012 1:56 PM ESTI remember when the 'first lady' and I use the 'lady' part sparingly.. asked americans and anyone watching, really... to come on down to the gulf and 'enjoy'. That was last year, early.
and some say she's educated.. i caution you to remember she's educated as an attorney.
she became a grave disappointment to me when that 'aired'.
Palast offers up the truth about it in his book.

BH, second that. It's time they get off their ass and start regulating the oily crooks.

When the crooks own ya, its awful tough to hold them to anything.
EDF owns Lubcheco, and Lubchenco owhs NOAA at the present time.

Is the Gulf dead? yes. In this area, for sure. Will it recover? Not for a long long time. Will this leave a record in the geologic record? I wouldn't doubt it at all-- massive extinction event caused by mankind's greed.
We have never heard how much benzene and other volatiles are now in the atmosphere from this, raining down with every rainfall-- nor how far it has traveled, etc. That people are ill, is not at all surprising. If people are ill, think about all the sea life, smaller, and getting more toxic doses.
There is no end to this disaster, nor will there be.

This doesn't surprise me in the least. Frankly, if people really knew the full extent of the disaster, the Gulf would likely be a ghost land... So, it was downplayed to prevent panic in the streets.
NOAA drives me nuts-- and they need to be thumped.
Thanks for your wonderful links and please keep up the good work! Much love to you!

No one is being served except BP, Wamart, EDF, and the Lubchenco insiders that include associates for decades, the Packards, the Pews, the Moores, and friends like Andy Rosenberg, who got an $6 million dollar NOAA observer contract.
One big corrupt eco network.
I have all the proof.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Dowser.
Sheppard writes at Mother Jones:
It's not entirely clear from PEER's release, though, what was real reason for the inaccurate figures—a single scientist giving inaccurate information, the White House pressuring him to do so, or the White House screwing up the reporting of the figures. Whatever it was, it resulted in the public getting a dramatically inaccurate impression about the size of the spill.
Some earlier posts on Obama and scientific integrity:
It all goes back to the WH. Wonder why it is still White? Time to change it to BH ...err sorry BH, I mean to say Black House. No offense. LOL!

Why did this happen on NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco’s watch? Will NOAA’s new Scientific Integrity Policy prevent something like this from happening again, or are the political pressures and agency science infighting just too great?
BH, your kind of question. It happens on her watch because she was not watching. She was busy with something else.

The question disregards where she was, BK.
She was with Admiral Daly. Everyday. And with Steven Chu. Everyday. In the Gulf.
The Pie chart display was the frosting on the cake. The oil disapeared. OK then!
Her oily hands were on the wheel.
The White/Black house wanted this gone because it was in the way of the health care debacle.

She named Mid Atlantic, as the New Jersey fishermen that are in favor of offshore wind is the group that exclusively own the Sea clam industry and quota.
They are the owners of that offshore wind entity.
