British Petroleum Apparently Owns American Beaches, and you thought America was a Sovereign Nation
Its bad enough that British Petroleum’s CEO said his massive, endless gushing spill was only a tiny blip in a huge ocean…
Its bad enough that British Petroleum has not mourned the ELEVEN DEAD WORKERS who died in the blast on the oil rig that is responsible for the gushing toxic spill…
One of the youngest workers on the rig, Shane Roshto, 22, is survived by his son and his wife, Natalie, who has filed a lawsuit against BP, Transocean and Halliburton. An inspiration to his friends, he wrote two dates — his wedding day and his son’s birthday — inside of his hard hat, referring to these dates when he was having a bad day.
Its bad enough that the oil rig company has already received $270 million in insurance money as a claim for the lost oil rig, none of which will go to cleanup or to compensate the families of the dead…
Its bad enough that British Petroleum sent its lawyers in within hours of the beginning of the spill to get the widows and residents of coastal Alabama to sign off any future lawsuit against BP, for a measly $5,000 per life…
But now, on American soil, British Petroleum is in charge of law enforcement, puppet-mastering the local sheriffs’ offices and the Coast Guard, keeping reporters from the beaches. Americans are being kept from the beaches by a foreign corporation.
So much for the ‘new’ logo, the earth-friendly ‘Beyond Petroleum’ public relations campaign of a few years ago, BP’s attempt to win over environmentally aware consumers, designed to show the company’s commitment to, get this, the environment and solar power…
British Petroleum is firmly an oil company. It is dodging responsibility for its epic, monumental, continuing spill and its degradation of the US coastline, AND its running our own sovereign law enforcement agencies. How can Americans know the extent of damage, if reporters are turned away from American soil by a British conglomerate?
The part of this story that frustrates me the most is that a couple of safety valves could have prevented this entire disaster, but allegedly the small cost of having them fitted along the length of a pipe is just too expensive to justify.
If it weren’t for the fact people and the environment are suffering, I’d say BP deserves this for cutting corners. Alas, their greed and short sightedness must now be paid for by all of us. It makes me want to cry.
Hi, I’m very interested in Linux but Im a Super Newbie and I’m having trouble deciding on the right distribution for me (Havent you heard this a million times?) anyway here is my problem, I need a distribution that can switch between reading and writing in English and Japanese (Japanese Language Support) with out restarting the operating system.
It’s mind boggling all that is involved in this situation – banning media from taking pictures of the state of the waters and beaches?!?!? It appears America is asleep at the wheel and therefore easy pickings for the Nazi-like ambitions of the Big Corporations!
OMG, the photos are nice but really terrible and terrific. Also thanks for rare info facts.
Is this true… Well, that is life… I never thought that those beaches were not the property of United States of America…
Oww! I could not believe this information. It really made me think…
I love the idea of being informed of what is real and I thank you for the effort od sharing this…
Awesome blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally confused .. Any recommendations? Appreciate it!
