What is more toxic, the oil spill or President Obama politics?
The real goal of “health care” legislation, the real goal of “cap-and-trade,” and the real goal of the “stimulus” is to rip the guts out of our private economy and transfer wide swaths of it over to the government to control. Do not be deluded by the propaganda. These initiatives are vehicles for change. They are not goals in and of themselves except in their ability to deliver power. They and will make matters much worse, for that is their design. http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/11/clowardpiven_government.html
Is the real goal of President Obama’s lack of response to the oil spill more government reliance? Is it an an excuse to shut down off shore oil drilling? As Rahm Emmanuel said, “A crisis is a terrible thing to waste.”
Former FEMA director Michael Brown is not backing off his charge that the Obama administration wants to use the Gulf Coast oil spill as a plot to put an end to offshore drilling. “They want a crisis like this, so that they can use a crisis like this to shut down offshore and gas drilling,” he said Tuesday night on CNN’s “AC 360°.”
The San Francisco Chronicle in January 2008. Obama told the Chronicle editorial board that he wanted cap-and-trade legislation to be as strong as possible.
“So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can. It’s just that it will bankrupt them because they’re going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted,” Obama told the board, after discussing the importance of figuring out how to use coal without emitting greenhouse gases. http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/05/05/brown.obama.oil.spill/index.html
Having read every 1,168 pages of Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, it becomes more clear that her philosophical revolution of government takeover is pointing to real life. “I trust that no one will tell me that men such as I write about don’t exists. That this book has been written—and published—is my proof that they do,” wrote Rand in the “about the author,” section.
Any Americans genuinely willing to shrug off the President, to abandon the pursuit of their professed values with the aid of this president’s resolve to solve our manifold problems — whether these Americans are conservative or liberal, secular or spiritual— believing Obama appears to have failed so completely to solve the litany of problems enumerated above in the generous twelve months allotted, might want to recall that he said we are all in this together; that he said he would listen— that he is serious about relying on our ideas to forge the kind of changes— solutions to our problems— that we can believe in.
We’re all in this together all right!. He didn’t pick your idea(s)? Listen, we’re getting frigged alright. We’ve got the Constitutional President you voted for, who so far has operated one of the least transparent governments in recent history.
In the five years before the Deepwater Horizon exploded, federal investigators documented nearly 200 safety and environmental violations in accidents on platforms and rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, describing a stunning array of hazards that resulted in few penalties. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/deepwaterhorizon/7039960.html
The Deepwater Horizon isn’t the only oil leaking into the Gulf of Mexico. For the last for the last six years another underwater platform has been leaking–
Site owner Taylor Energy Co. LLC said in a written statement that a production platform about 70 miles southwest of the Deepwater Horizon disaster was collapsed during Hurricane Ivan in 2004 by an underwater mudslide.
A leaking drain? Oh please. A rose by another other name…(Shakespeare)
Atlas Shrugged wrote about the locomotive, copper and steel that the government took control of, eventually running the companies out of business. In real life, it is the coal and oil industry that Obama may put out of business or become government owned. It already owns banks and automobile companies.
Under President Barack Obama, the EPA has adopted a policy designed to curtail surface mining by sharply reducing mountaintop removal in six states…The Environmental Protection Agency’s plan to revoke a crucial permit for West Virginia’s largest mountaintop removal mine, with pro-industry forces accusing the agency of an illegal power grab and political machinations.

The impact of a cease and desist on off shore drilling and investigations may put BP into bankruptcy. Who will pay for the clean-up and compensation then? You and me of course. Pushing my bullshit button, “Interior Secretary Ken Salazar is reassuring Congress that the Obama administration has pressed what he described as the “pause button, not the stop button,” on all offshore oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico and elsewhere.” http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jovg2Mk3tRYlNd4p-7zl44-h1fWQD9G7Q2HO1
Goldman Sachs analysts cut their view on the deepwater drillers to neutral specifically, the firm downgraded Diamond Offshore, Atwood Oceanics Inc., Noble Corp. and Transocean Ltd. No stock value means no one drills for oil and we either import it or go without to meet the nation’s energy needs.
The heartkeepercommonroom blog had this to say:
And here’s the thing- conspiracy theory or not, it really doesn’t matter. Cloward-Pliven put together a recipe they believed would lead to the collapse of this government to make it possible to replace it with socialism.
They wanted to end free market capitalism. Effectively, the stranglehold of regulation, the result of cronyism in government, the insidious relationship between lobbyists, politicians, and leftwing groups (which, no coincidence, favor Cloward-Pliven leftwing politics) such as PIRG and Public Citizen has effectively created a government which regulates free markets and small entrepreneurs out of existence.They wanted to increase the public’s dependency on the government sector. Can anybody argue with a straight face and uncrossed fingers that this has not happened?
It doesn’t really matter so much whether this is being done deliberately by people who know what they are doing, by duped useful idiots whose strings are being pulled behind the scenes by some malevolent forces of evil, or through mere incompetence. The results are what they are, the same in every case. <a href="http://heartkeepercommonroom.blogspot.com/2010/06/conspiracy-theory-or-incompentence.html"
CAN the results be different if you figure out who is John Galt for yourself?
The insidious result is that America needs oil and energy, and we have a President who claims to be responsible, while pointing fingers at everyone else.

A sinkhole that swallowed a three-storey building in Guatemala City has been blamed on a combination of Tropical Storm Agatha and poor drainage systems. Photograph: Luis Echeverria/AP
Hurricane season officially begins today, and not a moment too soon with a tropical storm brewing in the Gulf of Mexico.
Tropical Storm Agatha swept across Central America yesterday, bringing torrential rain that killed more than 100 people and opened a 60m-deep sinkhole in Guatemala City which reportedly swallowed up a three-storey building. The first named storm of the 2010 Pacific season dumped more than a metre of rain in parts of Guatemala, also hitting El Salvador and Honduras. Reports http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/jun/01/storm-agatha-hole-guatemala
That’s some perfectly round sinkhole, wouldn’t you say? Almost looks as if it was man-made. Maybe it was just another HAARP or a Blue Beam demonstration? 15 of the World’s largest holes can be viewed at http://www.ebaumsworld.com/pictures/view/175284/
On the May 28 edition of Premiere Radio Networks’ The Rush Limbaugh Show, el Rushbo eluded that the oil spill could intensify hurricanes. Media Matters http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/201005280034 has the soundbite, and at least one commentator-Gravity_78 agrees saying that:
Water (H2O) losses about 2F for every 100 ft, Sea Water losses about 1.4 F for every 100 ft. Oil on the other hand heats up under pressure, so the great the pressure the hotter the oil will be. In turn the oil could heat the waters around it by as much as 5 F, and that would be bad. Hot water is what drives a hurricane, the hotter the water the stronger the hurricane.
Even if this storm subsides, there will be another one right behind it to create an oily mess. Here is the latest image from the GOES satellite. Additional satellite images of the Gulf here http://www.goes.noaa.gov/g8hu.html, all regions viewing at http://www.goes.noaa.gov/

A perfectly round sinkhole and a perfectly round Tropical Storm? Perfect crap. Here is some more bull:
“If this outlook holds true, this season could be one of the more active on record,” said Jane Lubchenco, Ph.D., under secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator. “The greater likelihood of storms brings an increased risk of a landfall. In short, we urge everyone to be prepared.” FEMA is working across the administration and with our state and local partners to ensure we’re prepared for hurricane season,..You can’t control when a hurricane or other emergency may happen, but you can make sure you’re ready.” said FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate.
Well that’s just phooey. No one was ready for the damage being caused by the oil spill in the Gulf- not BP, Transocean, Halliburton and especially no one in the government including the woman that either got fired or resigned, was in control. What was it Obama said? I’ve been in charge since day one. If you believe New Orleans can handle another Katrina, I have a nice island for sale for a buck in the Mariana Islands. If you don’t beleive in weather modification:
“Others [terrorists] are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves… So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations…It’s real, and that’s the reason why we have to intensify our [counterterrorism] efforts.” Secretary of Defense William Cohen at an April 1997 counterterrorism conference sponsored by former Senator Sam Nunn. http://weatherwars.info/
A few days before the underwater volcano of oil erupted, the underwater volcano Eyjafjallajokull in Iceland erupted on April 15. Since then we’ve seen numerous volcanic eruptions increase while Eyja just mysteriously ceased erupting, even though scientists predicted it to continue for months. https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2010/05/25/icelands-volcano-eruption-endstops/ Here is today’s image of the day from http://www.osei.noaa.gov/, displaying a lovely shade of blue ashfrom this weekends eruption in Ecuador.
Tungurahua Volcano, May 28, 2010
This Saturday, there was a supposed an under water volcanic eruption near the Pacific’s Northern Marianas Island , 3,800 miles southwest of Hawaii that shot clouds of ash and vapor nearly eight miles into the sky. That’s 40,000 feet ladies and gents. The U.S. Geological Survey says Saturday morning’s eruption appeared to come from an underwater volcano off Sarigan, an uninhabited island about 100 miles north of the U.S. commonwealth’s main island of Saipan. No satellite images for that mystery event.
Sarigan Island in the northern Mariana Islands undersea eruption
If a tree falls in the woods and there is no one there to hear it, does it make noise? Who pushed the tree over? How do you know it fell? We’ve got beam loss from CERN, the Chinese teleporting photons, submarine volcanic eruptions and thousand’s of gallons of oil spewing. Come rain or shine, your government and FEMA stand ready to help you in the event of disasters like hurricanes, fire, or pandemic flu! Be prepared and find the FEMA camp near you at https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2009/05/10/fema-ready-for-flu-pandemic-fire-floods-resistance/
If there really isn’t a New World Order Conspiracy, then the chaos from the earth sure is coincidental. Rahm Emanuel said, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.”

Are there UFO’s at The Cotopaxi Volcano Ecuador, the fifth highest active volcano in the world? Find out more facts about it from http://www.volcanolive.com/cotopaxi.html.
Stéphane Guisard made a time lapse video catching odd objects amidst the night sky. They are probable satellites, shooting stars and maybe even airplanes making white streaks shooting toward the volcano. At about 1:20 there are distinct white flares or streaks coming from the land going up into the atmosphere.
UFO’s? I don’t know. It just strikes me odd that they are shooting up, appearing as if they came up from the earth. “Ready for take off Mr. Spock?,” asks Captain Kirk.
Explanation: What’s happening above the Cotopaxi volcano in Ecuador? Quite a bit, from the looks of the above one-night, time-lapse movie, taken earlier this month. The majestic volcano is first seen through breaks in fast moving clouds as the movie begins. Soon the clouds have dissipated and a sky filled with stars seems to rotate about the snow-peaked volcano’s peak. The band of our Milky Way Galaxy, the dark Coal Sack nebula, and the Southern Cross can all be seen overhead. Satellites streak by from several directions. Soon thin clouds roll by and seem to make the brightest stars sparkle. On the volcano (starting at about 1:13 of the movie), the lights of climbers flash. Near the end of the movie, a bright airplane passes over the peak with a residual trail seen drifting away.

As Arizona’s immigration policy does what the federal government won’t, The Department of Homeland Security has now declared a Terror Alert along the Mexico U.S. border.
The Department of Homeland Security is alerting Texas authorities to be on the lookout for a suspected member of the Somalia-based Al Shabaab terrorist group who might be attempting to travel to the U.S. through Mexico, a security expert who has seen the memo tells FOXNews.com. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/05/26/terror-alert-mexican-border/
It is akin to an all points bulletin and searching for a needle in a haystack. While your looking for terrorists would you mind stopping a few of those Mexican illegal immigrants who are still flocking to border states like Arizona and Texas. Obama and other elected officials have publicly admitted to not reading the bill, yet cry wolf and ignore the problems.
An administration official confirmed to Fox News that Obama plans to deploy the National Guard troops as needed. Mr. President, with all due respect, “as needed” would be right the frig now. Sending some 1,200 troops is a flea on a camel’s ass- insignificant.
Will the National Guard be stationed right on the line, with bullets in their guns and the authority to defend themselves? Almost certainly not. The border is a “combat zone,” says T.J. Bonner, head of the Border patrol agents’ union, too dangerous even for Border Patrol. http://usactionnews.com/2010/05/americans-fleeing-border-invasion-obama-dithers/
It has gotten so bad that Americans are leaving fleeing their homes to get away from the border.
Pinal County sheriff’s Lt. Tamatha Villar says the deputy suffered a superficial wound to his abdomen after being shot with an AK-47 assault rifle Friday afternoon.
Shot by an AK-47. I doubt the police or any farmer is packing an AK-47 for protection and enforcement. Don’t go and blame the 2nd amendment and gun retailers.
We’ve got the war on drugs, war on terror, war in Afghanistan, war in Iraq and a czar for everything except the U.S. Mexican border and the Deepwater Horizon Oil Clean up. Oh wait, we don’t need another czar, we need a President who does something to fix the problems. NOW.
We are getting the “The change you can believe in,” alright. Changes like the President of the United States of America acquiescing to a foreign leader’s interference in the affairs of sovereign Arizona and bowing to Kings and Queens. He is holding his first press conference in over a year later today. http://voices.washingtonpost.com/postpartisan/2010/05/what_obama_has_to_do_at_todays.html
The Modular Aerial Spray System on Air Force Reserve Command C-130 aircraft
These planes are being loaded with dispersants to quell the oil spill in the Gulf. Obama is scheduled to visit New Orleans on Friday, but his handlers may alter his plans due to the area being, ” hazardous to his health.”
The U.S. Coast Guard has pulled commercial fishing boats from oil cleanup efforts in Breton Sound off the Louisiana coast after several people became ill. The Coast Guard says crew members on three vessels reported nausea, dizziness, headaches and chest pains Wednesday afternoon. Four people were hospitalized, including one who was flown to a hospital.
While in Youngstown, Obama said, “..sometimes in Washington, everybody is spending all their time arguing about politics and you lose track of the folks who sent you there in the first place. And so it’s important for me to meet you directly and hear your concerns and your hopes and your dreams.”

The National Guard is headed for the Mexican U.S. border.http://www.nationalguard.com/ President Obama in his infinite wisdom or, from reading the Nation’s leading poll’s supporting Arizona’s immigration law( http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/daily_presidential_tracking_poll ) is sending troops. It is not so obvious that it is for immigration control, as the Mexican Embassy point out that troops will be on guard against the illegal flows of weapons and bulk cash into Mexico, which provide organized crime with its firepower and its ability to corrupt.
Regarding the Administration’s decision to send 1,200 National Guard servicemen to the US Southern border, the Government of Mexico trusts that this decision will help to channel additional US resources to enhance efforts to prevent the illegal flows of weapons and bulk cash into Mexico, which provide organized crime with its firepower and its ability to corrupt.
Additionally, the Government of Mexico expects that National Guard personnel will strengthen US operations in the fight against transnational organized crime that operates on both sides of our common border and that it will not, in accordance to its legal obligations, conduct activities directly linked to the enforcement of immigration laws.
Mexico is determined to continue working on its side of the border to enhance the security and well-being of border communities, and to deter and dismantle organized crime and its links to drug trafficking and human smuggling.
As part of our joint strategy in the fight against transnational organized crime, there are actions that our two governments have undertaken together, and there are other measures taken independently by Mexico and by the US within their respective territories. In this regard, the Mexican Government fully respects the sovereign decisions of the US Government, but underscores that joint responsibility must continue to underpin our joint efforts in rolling-back transnational organized crime operating on both sides of the border.
As the commander-in-chief, I believe he is supposed to be in charge of the Nation’s Military, not states National Guard troops. Others are of the same opinion:
“There is no modern precedent for Congress to direct the president to deploy troops in the manner sought by the Amendment,” National Security Adviser James Jones and Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Adviser John Brennan wrote to Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin (D-Mich.)
“It represents unwarranted interference with the Commander-in-Chief’s responsibilities to direct the employment of our Armed Forces and thus infringes on the President’s role in the management of the Total Force,” they wrote.

USARNORTH conducts Homeland Defense and Civil Support operations, and Theater Security Cooperation activities, as the U.S. Northern Command Joint Force Land Component Command and the Army Service Component Command in order to protect the American people and their way of life.
We have U.S. Servicemen and women on active duty on U.S. soil in violation of Posse Comitatus. If we are breaking protocol anyway, why not get it over with and send the military to secure the border with Mexico? “…to protect the American people and their way of life!”
JTF-CS anticipates, plans and integrates USNORTHCOM chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and high-yield explosive (CBRNE) consequence management operations, and when directed, establishes command and control of DOD forces in response to a CBRNE incident to assist local authorities in saving lives, preventing further injury and providing temporary critical support.
As much as I am against active duty troops on our soil, if they are going to be here, then utilize them here. Don’t wait for another terrorist act to occur. Post 9-11, the security of our nation remains at risk. JTF-CS if so ordered would restore at least some sanity to our border, while of course pissing Mexico off. Tough. Rumor has it that there are plenty of Russian troops on U.S Soil, perhaps they’d lend a hand too. http://www.resistnet.com/forum/topics/alert-russian-troops-in-us-for
Our borders are being overwhelmed by Mexican people crossing into the greatest country on earth, illegally. We are fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. North Korea and South Korea are playing a deadly game of tit for tat, and China’ aggression towards the U.S. has been pretty clear while it remains our largest debt holder. Oil is spilling by thousand’s of gallons every day.
Besides the multiple crisis we are battling, this weekend is Memorial Day, the day we honor our nation’s dead military personnel. The president previously confused Memorial Day with Veteran’s Day. “Someone might want to explain to the President that it is a little difficult to say “thank you” or send care packages to the deceased.” http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2257872/posts
On Monday, Obama is scheduled to participate in a Memorial Day ceremony at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood, Ill. In Obama’s absence, Vice President Joe Biden will participate in the customary wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery outside Washington.
Obama may be President, even though he still has not provided a birth certificate proving he is eligible. Still, it is pretty un-American for The President to not lay the traditional wreath at Arlington Cemetary. What can you expect from the man who couldn’t bother to put his hand on his heart during The Pledge of Allegiance?

There is no ashfall being reported although there is still some steam and the earthquakes have subsided a bit. We are still seeing seismic activity creeping towards Katla as we reported previously this week at https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2010/05/22/icelands-katla-volcano-recent-earthquakes/ There were two mild tremors detected in the last 24 hours near the Katla volcano.
Earthquakes Subsiding, May 25, 2010
Who turned off the volcano’s switch? A few days ago there was no end in sight.
Scientists have several ways of forecasting when the Eyjafjallajökull eruption will stop. But their data – and history – suggest the Iceland volcano’s ash cloud could persist for some time…The rumblings of small earthquakes can suggest that magma is still welling up from the bowels of the earth, feeding the eruption. The distension of the mountain itself – measured through global positioning system devices – can also provide hints as to whether the volcano is swelling or deflating. As of last week, scientists were still measuring dozens of small earthquakes beneath the volcano, suggesting that no end was in sight. http://www.truthout.org/iceland-volcano-ash-cloud-when-will-eyjafjallaj%C3%B6kull-eruption-stop59600
No end in sight but something is going on inside? Maybe something is going on outside. HAARP, CERN, FERMI and similar particle physics labs were doing the usual. There were no reports out of the ordinary unless, you call teleportation ordinary.
Bob and Alice Photons Teleport 10 Miles
Scientists in China have succeeded in teleporting information between photons further than ever before. They transported quantum information over a free space distance of 16 km (10 miles), much further than the few hundred meters previously achieved, which brings us closer to transmitting information over long distances without the need for a traditional signal.http://www.physorg.com/news193551675.html
Could it transmit a signal deep into the earth to cause an earthquake? Could the energy of a photon, atom or a HAARP array have the power to move energy from one volcano to another? Say to maybe Costa Rica?
(PhysOrg.com) http://www.physorg.com/news193990952.html — By demonstrating how a single artificial atom can be used to amplify electromagnetic waves, physicists from Japan are opening up new possibilities for quantum amplifiers, which can be used in a variety of electronic and optical applications.
Amplified electromagnetic waves?!?We already know HAARP’s high-frequency radio waves can accelerate electrons in the atmosphere, increasing the energy of their collisions. https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2009/10/16/earthquake-haarp-connection-evidence/ Now we are now talking about an Atom possibly having the same ability to amplify electromagnetic waves, if not into the atmosphere certainly here on earth..
Maybe the author is right, maybe he is wrong. Should we just take off our tinfoil hats and be happy that a major volcanic eruption in Iceland just stopped?
Can’t help but thinking:
David Rockefeller said, “All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order.” Rahm Emanuel said, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.” In the Project for a New American Century document Rebuilding America’s Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century we find the following: “Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor. http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/
For now, one catalyzing event that grounded air travel over much of Europe seems to be over. Too bad we can’t teleport in time to fix a whole lot of what is wrong in the world.

The Deepwater Horizon Spill in the Gulf Coast has become a cluster cluck. President Obama, a month after the leak started has decided that we now need a special commission headed by Ken Salazar, while Lisa P. Jackson, EPA Chief is headed back to the region for her third trip. http://dailycaller.com/2010/05/23/epa-chief-to-return-to-gulf-coast-to-monitor-spill/
The oil continues to flow, although BP is allegedly siphoning off some of the oil underground. BP claims 5,000 gallons per day since April 13 and finally a month later on May 20, it has been decided that the federal government will come up with its own determination of how much oil is gushing in the Gulf. Perhaps it should take its own water samples too.
The EPA gave BP it’s okay to use chemical dispersants in an effort to corral and degrade some of the oil last week. By Thursday, the EPA issued a directive for BP to stop using the controversial Corexit dispersal chemical within 24 hours. https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2010/05/21/dispersants-epa-stops–
BP’s response was a pungent reminder of who is in charge, and it most certainly is not the EPA or and branch of the government. BP issued a terse reply, saying it would continue to use the controversial chemical Corexit despite the directive. BP officials believe that the leading alternative product, Sea Brat could pose a bigger risk over the long term.
C-130H Aerial Spraying
NotanotherCONspiracy points out that the government has been spraying “stuff” for years and likely could, would, and may have sprayed the Gulf to attempt to break up the oil.
A U.S. Air Force Reserve C-130 Hercules from the 910th Airlift Wing at Youngstown Air Reserve Station, Ohio, sprays Dibrom, a pesticide approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency …http://www.notanotherconspiracy.com/search/?q=chemtrails
Democratic strategist James Carville and MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews, two reliable supporters of President Barack Obama, have issued withering critiques of the administration’s handling of the Gulf oil spill. Carville, the famously outspoken Louisianian who was a chief political aide to Bill and Hillary Clinton, told CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Thursday that the administration’s response to the spill has been “lackadaisical” and that Obama was “naive” to trust BP to manage the massive clean-up effort. Video and full text at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/21/obama-faces-new-wave-of-c_n_585620.html
“The government should have stepped in and not just taken BP’s word,” declared Wayne Stone of Marathon, Fla., an avid diver who worries about the spill’s effect on the ecosystem….As simple as it may seem, the law prevents the government from just taking over, Allen said. After the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska, Congress dictated that oil companies be responsible for dealing with major accidents – including paying for all cleanup – with oversight by federal agencies. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/22/frustration-mounts-as-oil_n_585913.html
Oversight by Federal Agencies- how laughable. Really, what’s one more law or promise broken by the government?
We do not have transparency from BP nor the EPA, nor do we have control over the cleanup. For heaven’s sake, some environmental group decided that throwing human hair on the slicks would help. BP has declined the offer. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=127041062&ft=1&f=1025 (Human hair does help keep deer away from gardens though.)
BP chief Tony Hayward told the Associated Foreign Press, “everything we can see at the moment suggests that the overall environmental impact will be very, very modest.”
By comparison, the death count of sea critters so far seems small. With nearly 20% of the Gulf closed to fishing, a fish kill would most likely never be documented in the open waters, only what is witnessed on shore.
It doesn’t just take a cold snap or an oil spill to close beaches. How about a birds nest? A shorebird called a tern laid a single egg in Cape Hatteras National Seashore. The result:
Three favored off-road beaches and fishing spots – Cape Point in Buxton, South Ocracoke and the Bodie Island Spit at Oregon Inlet – were effectively closed to prepare for expected shorebird breeding. Large buffer zones preclude access by pedestrians and vehicles. http://hamptonroads.com/node/464263
One little egg is going to devastate tourism in parts of the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Maybe the state can ask for a bailout like every other whiny piss-ant governor. Florida has asked BP for $35 million dollars for tourism advertising. So help me if BP pays one dime for an ad, I am going to flip my lid. How dare Florida, who’s beaches so far haven’t been impacted, ask in the first place?

Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull last status shows a decline in the ash cloud. The ground continues to rumble and earthquake activity is increasing under the bigger volcano, Katla.
The earthquakes at the Katla volcano site appear to possibly be increasing in frequency as of this moment (time will tell however). Since May 17 there have been four earthquakes at or very near Katla, while a 5th just on the edge of the Myrdalsjokull glacier.
Although 4 or 5 earthquakes at the volcano site in 4 days does not indicate a drastic change in pattern, the interesting notation at the moment is the fact that the two most recent earthquakes occurred within 3 hours of each other on 21 May, 2010, at depths of 5km and 13km. That in itself is an increase in occurrence. It may be an anomaly, but it justifies keeping one eye on Katla, the big sister of Eyjafjallajokull.
There is some correlation between earthquakes and the prediction of an eruption, but they are unreliable. Wouldn’t it be nice to know how to predict when a volcano will stop erupting? In Hawaii, the world’s longest erupting volcano, Kilauea began erupting 10,000 days ago yesterday. It began erupting January 23, 1983 and has no end in sight. Blogger Leigh Hilbert lives near the volcano and has daily updates and fabulous photos- http://hawaiianlavadaily.blogspot.com/2010/05/hawaii-volcanoes-national-park.html. I wish we could send him to Iceland for awhile to make the comparisons between the two and to provide better photos than we are getting from the press there. Are there no professional photographers in Iceland?

The Deepwater Horizon Oil spill or leak as BP calls it, is a disaster of epic proportion. The response by the EPA is equally to blame in the approval of two chemical dispersants by BP, and it’s reliance soley on BP to clean it up and provide water samples.
Saturday May 15, 2010-“Based on the scientific analysis of the EPA and NOAA and review by the National Response Team, it has been determined that the use of dispersants at the subsea source is the prudent and responsible action to take along with other tactics including surface dispersant, skimming and controlled burns.” http://www.deepwaterhorizonresponse.com/go/doc/2931/551271/
COREXIT products clearly state that they are not to be used on surface water and are toxic to wildlife. And that, “It is unknown if dispersed oil has toxic implications to the human population because bioaccumulation through the food chain has not been evaluated.” http://www.epa.gov/bpspill/dispersants.html#q3
It was not prudent and responsible to approve these particular products, and now in a reverse course, EPA is revoking its decision.
The Environmental Protection Agency informed BP officials late Wednesday that the company has 24 hours to choose a less-toxic form of chemical dispersants to break up its oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, according to government sources familiar with the decision, and must apply the new form of dispersants within 72 hours of submitting the list of alternatives.
The move is significant, because it suggests federal officials are now concerned that the unprecedented use of chemical dispersants could pose a significant threat to the Gulf of Mexico’s marine life. BP has been using two forms of dispersants, Corexit 9500A and Corexit 9527A, and so far has applied 600,000 gallons on the surface and 55,000 underwater.http://views.washingtonpost.com/climate-change/post-carbon/2010/05/epa_demands_less_toxic_dispersant.html
Capacity to make change? Change you can believe in?
Let me think, who else is from Chicago that I can think of? Blagojevich, Wright, Ayers, President Obama. The biggest oil spill in the world has taken place under Obama’s reign and it took him days to hold a conference with administration officials and eleven days to go see for himself. http://seminal.firedoglake.com/diary/45025
May 20, 2010 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) –Nalco (NYSE:NLC) today issued the following statement:We are gratified that the EPA has acknowledged that the use of Nalco’s dispersants has been effective and has had no undue impact on the marine environment. As the agency noted on its website today: “Toxicity data does not indicate any significant affects on aquatic life. Moreover, decreased size of the oil droplets is a good indication that, so far, the dispersant is effective.”
The results can be found at http://www.epa.gov/bpspill/ . To date, approximately 600,000 gallons of dispersant has been used on the surface and approximately 55,000 gallons of dispersant has been used subsurface, at the source of the spill.
Do you smell something fishy?
Nalco claims the products are working just fine with no hazards, yet the EPA is revoking the use of COREXIT? Yep. It boils down to the fact that the government is not happy with BP. In a Letter From Secretary Napolitano and EPA Administrator Jackson to BP CEO Tony Hayward (PDF) they all but accuse BP of adulterating water samples to justify that COREXIT and the sucking up gadget is having a positive effect of the spill.
WHY ISN’T THE EPA TAKING IT’S OWN WATER SAMPLES?
Friday, May 21, 2010 11 a.m. CDT. U.S. Coast Guard Incident Commander Capt. Steven Poulin, U.S. Coast Guard Deputy Incident Commander Capt. Bill Drelling, and BP Incident Commander Keith Seilham of The Deepwater Horizon Response Unified Incident Command, Mobile, Ala., are scheduled to hold a press briefing about ongoing response operations along the Mississippi, Alabama and Florida coasts. http://www.deepwaterhorizonresponse.com/go/doc/2931/557791/ I got tired of listening to the music and hung up after the delayed start, but why wouldn’t the EPA be involved as well?
Salazar implies BP and other oil companies want to lose untold amounts of oil and money on purpose. Gives you that warm fuzzy feeling that more independence will prevent this from happening again. How about a new set of federal reforms that secure our border?
