I couldn’t find any other convenient run-down of the evidence pointing to sabotage or extreme negligence in the BP oil spill, so I’ve linked PrisonPlanet.com’s report. I’ve checked the material and it’s well-sourced and confirms my own research, so I’m comfortable posting it. Continue reading

16 Burning Questions About The BP Oil Spill
From The Economic Collapse Blog, 16 burning questions about the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico:
#1) Barack Obama has authorized the deployment of more than 17,000 National Guard members along the Gulf coast to be used “as needed” by state governors. So what are all of these National Guard troops going to be doing exactly? Are the troops going to be used to stop the oil or to control the public? Continue reading
BP Oil Spill Aids Expansion Of Regulatory Police State
The New York Times (June 11, 2010) reports on the failure of a republican effort to block the EPA (environmental protection agency) in its efforts to regulate carbon emissions as a health hazard to humans

Barack Obama: Liar, Warlord, and Corporate Shill
Stephen Lendman on why it’s time to IMPEACH Obama
(Note 1: Earlier, I posted the Obama bisexual story that claims that Obama’s history suggests someone who could easily be targeted for blackmail or other forms of arm-twisting. BP has been one of Obama’s biggest contributors, giving more to him than to any other candidate in the last twenty years).
“It shouldn’t surprise because no one gets the top job or any government position of power unless they’re safe, yet, naively, most people thought Obama was different. Many still do. Continue reading
