We all knew this a long time ago, but still it is nice to hear it again.

The fact that BP was a big contributor to Obama's presidential campaign had absolutely nothing to do with it. Trust me.

Yeah, the fact that BP was throwing sex parties for the regulators had absolutely nothing to do with them closing both eyes to BP's blatant disregard of the safety regulations.

Good one, Castor. Enemy from without ...we can handle. Enemy from within ...a bit difficult but still we can clear them out. Enemy within the Head ...well time to capitulate.

They would rather sacrifice American servicemen than dispose of the nuclear aircraft.

Pure Evil: USS Enterprise False Flag!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ufdw21ltc-8&feature=player_embedded

So here we have the USS Enterprise, the oldest carrier in the fleet, on her last legs, scheduled to be decommissioned next year. Her name is well known, in part because of the Star Trek TV series. Decommissioning a nuclear aircraft carrier is a very expensive process. USS Enterprise is powered by 8 nuclear reactors, all of which must be disposed of as nuclear waste material along with all the associated machinery. The US Navy would save a great deal of money, more than the scrap worth of the steel, if USS Enterprise were to be sunk in the Persian Gulf, where the radioactive mess is someone else's problem to deal with.

remember: 4,277 tons of nuclear fuel at Fukushima. Which means that there is almost 24 times more nuclear fuel at Fukushima than Chernobyl. Specifically, Tepco transferred many more radioactive spent fuel rods into the storage pools. According to Associated Press, there were - at the time of the earthquake and tsunami - 3,400 tons of fuel in seven spent fuel pools plus 877 tons of active fuel in the cores of the reactors. The Amount of Radioactive Fuel at Fukushima DWARFS Chernobyl

Good to see you, Etva.

No surprises mean either we are already numbed to the pain or has already given up.

LOL! Neither in my case, yet. I just meant that I already accepted that they covered it up.

Sorry, the message was not meant for you. I knew that you knew from your previous postings (((((ETVA))))). Apologise if the meaning is not clear.

There has been more new visitors (ratio 8:2) and many are from Asia who had been sleeping on the sideline. They think they are safe but as the Fukushima disaster shows they too are not safe.

Strategically, it makes sense to go for the strongest opponents first (US citizens) and you mopped up all the sleepy meek victims. That is why they opt for weapons of Mass Destruction. When Bush first announced WMD he omitted to include triggered earthquakes and synchronised Tsunami wave creation. The energy mass is already there. All they needed was just the right trigger and synchronisation..... a very cheap form of weapon but far more effective. Yet the greatest advantage over others ....the devils get patted on their backs for coming in with "humanitarian aid" in the aftermath of a disaster.

2004 Quake -Tsunami offshore Sumatra and Mega oil spill (BP killing Spree) in the gulf are only two of the many examples. See what I mean.

Don't pat your backs too much!......we are all quilty here. Nature is suffering 24/7 because of all our visions of prosterity. Sure!...we are waking up to that realization, in alot of respects, yet we still are very ignorant in being able, in mind, to embrace the full overall picture of Natures decline. No one addresses the over population problem here, and all over the world. We think that Nature can be shuffled around to suit our ambitions, and that is our ignorance. We are slowly killing ourselves by dismissing reality. One can hardly go where mankind is not anymore. Trifle bit is left of what Nature once possessed. Our possessions seem to be what rules our ambitions. Our technology, our science are capable of taking us to almost infinite horizons, yet our greeds are as embedded to our nature as stink is to sh@t,.............truth smells sweeter than lies.

    what would you suggest? Genocide?

    Poor countries --> high birth rates. Rich countries ---> declining birth rates.

    The answer to over pop is better education and change in core values. Voluntary self restraints.

    Tell me who will volunteer to have less pssessions? Glamorous life styles of the rich and famous only add to the flame of envy. That's the illusion we call prosterity. Potent to, is this, this desire of easy street, so potent that; some will surpress conscience to attain it. Still others will succumb to bad health by placing too much necessity on acguiring possessions, and not ever seeing that life itself as the greatest of possession. Nature will no doubt come up with a remedy to our over population, so we wait and see, for most are complacent enough with that demeanor already, I have observed. Parlour soldier attitudes while life every where (diversity of all living things) is declining, for it not be of human life, we tend to place no immediate action to, and just sit and talk about it awhile, or untill the football game comes on , and all reality ceases to exist for pleasures once again. Your correct about education, but theres not enough time to educate the majority that quickly, for there be so many, and Nature has not enough time, for Her health is failing at an expanding and devastating rate. I suspect we will wait too late, and many, if not us all will parish, and not because of our technology, our science, for those be of our few attributes, but our yet ignorances and lack of respect for what is greater than us, than ourselves.

      I agree with most of what you said. It is sad that civilisation is heading towards its own self destruction and there are too few who really care.

      There are people who had given up on the Rat Race to live quietly in the country side. These people should be glorified as people who practiced self restraint. Instead we glorify the aggressive ones who continue to accumulate wealth beyond their future needs.

        PEER alleges scientific misconduct at NOAA in lowballing of BP spill rate, traces political pressure to White House
        Posted on January 24, 2012 by Climate Science Watch

        Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility has filed a formal allegation of scientific misconduct by a senior scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, charging that he manipulated and falsified scientific communication to policymakers and the public so as to substantially underestimate the flow rate from the disastrous BP Deepwater Horizon oil blowout in 2010. PEER also released an email from Dr. Marcia McNutt, Director of the U.S. Geological Survey, citing pressure from the White House toward communicating an underestimate of the blowout flow rate............................

        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?
