OIL Slick Catastrophe In Photos


A short entry - AP Photographer Charlie Riedel just filed the following images of seabirds caught in the oil slick on a beach on Louisiana's East Grand Terre Island. As BP engineers continue their efforts to cap the underwater flow of oil, landfall is becoming more frequent, and the effects more evident. (8 photos total)

  6. I can't put into words how much I hate these corporate scumbags. If this doesn't get the sheeple rallied, nothing will. This is happening deliberately, not by accident. All for billions upon billions, perhaps trillions in profits for these unbelieveable bastards.

    Love animals, so this is hard to take.

    Our sock puppet won't do anything about this, neither will our banker Congress.

    Really upsetting.

  9. solar panel farms in deserts + electric vehicles and you never, ever have to look at something like that again.

    It takes 2,000 square miles of panels to recharge the batteries of 200 million cars and small. light trucks. Average range: 50 miles. Double the panels if you want 100 miles.

    Average America drives less than 40 miles a day.

    Use electric-powered trains to ships goods, and electric box trucks to distribute those goods from train stations to factories, warehouses and retail outlets.

    Case closed.

  11. We need better research on how to hurt them in the pocket. They franchine their name to most of these Bp gas stations to independent owners for a fee. It's a start, but we need to really hurt THEM not a small business owner who chose the wrong franchise name years ago.

  13. Remember, BP is currently expending 100x the efforts and financing for their PR CAMPAIGN then they are in fixing the gusher.

    They don't want it fixed. When the damage exceeds a trillion or two, then the corp slime will suddenly find a fix and start lining their pockets in the cleanup effort that will last many years at our expense. All financed by your tax dollars while BP and others continue to earn their billions in profit.

    If you live near the gulf get the hell out of there.

    If you could step in a time machine and go into the future twenty years, this issue will still be with us. Damage will be off the charts.

    They are really wanting to stir up some brutal hurricanes with HAARP and turn this into a cash cow that even WWIII couldn't compare with in terms of profit and increases in their power/authority over us.

  16. Don't take to vandalism. That sort of thing won't hurt the BP-type corporations at all and will only get you into big trouble if you are caught.

    The best way to fight back is Boycott all their goods and services.

    Perhaps the only good thing that may come out of this is the sheeple will see what a multi-national corp is all about - greed.

    Of course the largest corp with no morals at all is the USA, and I do not say that with glee, it is very sad. We are nothing but a British-owned corporation. Next time you laugh at the Queen, stop and think again. The Royal families own us.

    Our President, secretary, vice president, etc are all just PR/stage actors. The REAL power is back in the board room, ie the Oligarch Bankers that own us.

  18. The majority of jobs added of that 500,000 were census jobs and they are transitory.

    All the jobs added there including the census were shit paying and temporary.

    Alongside that there were actually more jobs lost overall, meaning the 500,000 reported is ultimately null.

  22. The 5:58/5:59/6:12 troll screwed himself on this time.

    What he is doing is hurting his cause because pimping corporate BS lies on a blog showing a pelican saturated in BP oil isn't probably the best strategy to say the least. This guy should be kicked off the payroll.

    He is showing himself to be a scumbag that will not only not convert anyone over to his bullshit, but he is a catalyst here for the opposite - truth. Let's all see how low a corporate shill can go.

  23. 6:16,

    Screw them!

    You can hire someone to convert a gasoline car to electric mode or do it yourself.

    The easiest thing to do is to buy a quality, used hybrid car, like a Toyota Prius, add a second battery pack, which you can buy on eBay for about $1,000, a charger and electric cord. This effectively gives you an all-electric, plug-in Prius for city driving.

    Here's a good starting point: www.evalbum.com

    Some people make poor decisions in choosing the right car to convert and don't properly configure it, but you don't have to make those mistakes. Ask the experts and read the right book, namely: Convert It.

    Bye bye BP. :-)

  24. You wait and watch. We will have a crazy hurricane season and it is no accident. The technology to start hurricanes has been around for decades, based on a perversion of Nicola Tesla's work.

    Research HAARP. Then when you see the hurricanes going absolutely apeshit this summer, carrying oil/slime inland and causing 100s of billions in damages, you will know all of this is NO ACCIDENT.

    You're off topic. Besides, every informed person out there knows the markets are rigged. So, who cares?

    What are you going to do about the 750 banks that are about to die?

    How come the U.S. Government's projected deficit is more than all income taxes collected?

    You can't win. The facts are squarely on this blog's side.

    Also, what you fail (miserably I might add) to grasp is that factory production is still way less than it was before the onset of all this economic malaise. What you call "growth" is merely partial restock efforts. What do you think will happen when those 750 banks die and consumer credit is further culled?

    I'm sorry. The days of thinking positive to produce positive results are gone.

    The Governor of California also wants to cut off Welfare come October. That's way far from recovery.

    I mean, open your eyes!

  40. These Oil Companies are like legalized gangsters. There is no accountability, no real liability. The Oligarch bankers own them all, they are all NWO creeps.

    Research the crimes that these companies wiggle away from without getting prosecuted and you will be amazed. O.J. Simpson had America's full attention, but the oil companies do worse on a monthly basis.

    In the beginning of 1996, several human rights groups brought cases to hold Shell accountable for alleged human rights violations in Nigeria, including SUMMARY EXECUTIONS, crimes against humanity, TORTURE, inhumane treatment and arbitrary arrest and detention.

    In particular, Shell stood accused of ­collaborating in the execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other leaders of the Ogoni tribe of southern Nigeria, who were hanged in 1995 by Nigeria's then military rulers.

    They objected to Shell's intrusions into their land and there were whistleblowers coming forward with information that Shell was paying off Nigeria's military to attack, torture, and kill those opposed to their corporate expansion.

    The lawsuits were brought against Royal Dutch Shell and Brian Anderson, the head of its Nigerian operation.

    In 2009, Shell agreed to pay $15.5m in a legal settlements. Shell has not accepted any liability over the allegations against it.

    In 2009, Shell was the the subject of an Amnesty International report into the deterioration of human rights as a consequence of Shell's activities in the Niger Delta.

    In particular, Amnesty was critical of the continuation of gas flaring and Shell's slow response to oil spills that were killing vast numbers of animals and tribes.

  46. BP had a record of crimes, death and destruction way before the oil gusher. Business as usual for them.

    Not so funny that BP refused Iran's help in stopping the gusher. After all, BP was once called Anglo-Iranian Oil Inc. They helped install the US puppet, the Shah of Iran, who in turn enriched A-I/BP buy stealing the Iranians wealth away and giving it to the US Corps in exchange for his Presidency.

    YUP!

    The secret to mechanical free energy devices is understanding TORQUE. It's how you get more with less.

    The best way to break their grip is by demanding electric vehicles and/or converting gasoline/diesel models to electric mode without them.

    Transportation accounts for 75% or so of all oil consumption! Incredible when you think about it.

    Electric cars are out there. They can't stop them. Lead Acid batteries are installed in virtually every vehicle. They can't stop that technology either.

    If you don't have a big budget, begin by buying the components one-by-one. When you have everything, rip out the internal combustion engine and put in the right stuff.

    Again. The vast majority of Americans travels less than 40 miles a day.

  50. Free energy tech goes way, way beyond just an electric car. Nicola Tesla knew how to create a clean running electrical generator the size of a toast that would power your home, or your car, or your bowling alley 1000 miles from nowhere.

    JP Morgan squashed the technology because he knew it would set the people free.

    Oil hasn't been necessary for decades, but we are stuck with it only because the Oligarchs use it as an instrument of scarcity and control.

  62. Drill baby drill and the Obama Tarbaby.

    "President Barack Obama showed he knew a thing or two about oil tar balls when he arrived last week on Fourchon Beach in Louisiana.
    “Either the boom soaks stuff up, or manually you can pick up these tar balls as they’re coming ashore,” he told a group of reporters.Spending about 15 minutes on a largely unsoiled beach is as close as Obama has come to the worst oil spill in U.S. history",.. A Bloomberg reporter says.
    Obama the experton tarballs looked like a Presidential Cat -In-In a Hat investigating in amazement a furball it had coughed up.
    He could not work it out at that time so he is heading back for another look
    But perhaps, the clever trickster now fears it might actualy be a Tar baby and he is Bre"r Rabbit not at all
    the Democrat donkey he appears to be, as certified on his "official CIA" birth certificate digital image.
    Wikipedia says "The Tar-Baby is a doll made of tar and turpentine used to entrap Br'er Rabbit in the second of the Uncle Remus stories. The more that Br'er Rabbit fights the Tar-Baby, the more entangled he becomes.
    In modern usage, "tar baby" refers to any "sticky situation" that is only aggravated by additional contact. The only way to solve such a situation is by separation.[1]
    This political "Separation" though is another problem. After all Obama is intimately tied to his election financiers the BP and Goldman Sasch of the Corporate State as much as any Republican.So he has to be nice to his masters.
    Additional contact with the tarballs or Tarbaby this time will only mean mumbling on about how He is not losing and that he is actualy on top of the Tarbaby problem .
    Not trapped at all ,and to bless and aplaud the B.P.pig , for its past efforts in saving him.
    But is the trickster and his Presidency actualy stuck inescapably on the B.P.Tarbaby ?

    Let's face it. Americans are clueless authority worshippers.

    Nowadays government and corporations are pretty much the same thing. Corporate/banker interests run the government. Fascism took over America while you were asleep.

  65. I think this shows the effect that 4 people really do have on the environment. But trying to stick it to BP is just long term going to put up the price of the product supplied.The individuals responsible, need to be held accountable for what has transpired.Somewhere someone is responsible for making the team drill faster, someone is responsible for not checking or replacing the faulty valve. Someone is responsible for the valve being damaged. And someone has to take overall blame for what has transpired.
    I mean if it was all a huge success, who would be taking the credit for that,because the are also the same people that should be taking the responsibility now.

  76. These pictures turn my stomach. Not sure how much rescuing of birds etc. is going on, but I did read that the government used one of the emergency laws to allow BP to hire workers for below minimum wage. I read they are bringing in Mexicans to do the low-wage work, so they don't have to pay the locals any more than necessary.

    For those who yell "drill, baby, drill"--aside from the terrible destruction, the news leaves out the fact that these oil companies, who are taking our natural resources, do NOT have to sell us the oil. They will sell it on the open market to the highest bidder. So on top of destroying our property, they makes us pay to get what is ours in the first place. Why isn't our government doing something about that?

  77. British Petroleum is sending 11 cleanup crews to Pensacola Beach after a number of small balls of oil were spotted.

    Just wait until the end of the year. By then, the Florida eastern beaches will be a sewer. If you live anywhere near there, get out now.

  78. 10:23 people will stay and go down with the ship. Sort of like putting money in the banks or in the stock market. Our citizens enjoy casinos too, thats why we have them.

  79. I still say drill baby drill--if it wasn't for the enviro-morons companies like BP would be able to drill in much shallower water for more easily extractable oil, or in ANWAR where spilled oil just ends up on the ground.

  80. damn right, drill everything, suck the planet dry of all resources, suck it dry, dry dry, suck it dry because there are no intricate energy structures that you depend on for body health, etc, which you would know if you weren't a shallow religious moron and opened up a math or physics book.

  81. Many companies and individuals have come up with valid ways to stop the gusher, but BP really isn't interested in stopping the flow. Why? Because they are already way past their 75 million liability limit and any cleanup is all gravy! Pure cashola.

    This device was on the science channel and ten experts out of 12 said it would work. No one cares though.

  82. Those who are responsible for the neglect and the killing of innocent creatures should pay with their lives! Because they have no respect for the lives of others. Human or animal.

  84. BP employees search and hide the bodies of the dead animals during the night to not deteriorate more their "image". The oil slick will go back up until Europe in august... And now, a great toxic cloud is waiting under the ocean, and is gradually raising... Some hurricanes, even strong winds can happen, and so the south-east of usa will be a high carcinogenic area. It's so SAD. Even in the 1980s, I thought I would never buy a car. resist.

  85. Learning to make solar energy and specifically, home solar panels is not necessarily an easy task and a lot of people might not really know where to start. That being said, with the help of solar energy plans, even consumers with minimal DIY experience can build solar energy and save themselves thousands every year. DIY Solar panels
