Well, I just heard that Tony Hayward has been asked to step down. That's the least they can do.

Thanks for the posts Luis, Pat and Sara. My gosh it's so appalling the callousness of so many that should have been doing everything possible to get the spill cleaned up and do what's right for the people and the wild life of the gulf coast regions.

I agree with you Pat...the Texas Congressman made a huge blunder by the comments he made. It seems that there's no shortage of stupidity. What was he thinking?

Hopefully, some real progress is being made finally.

How about part interest (investment) in BP and other oil companies!!?? I wonder how many congressmen/women asking those questions have a stake in the oil companies!

What happened to morale?

1 : moral principles, teachings, or conduct
2 a : the mental and emotional condition (as of enthusiasm, confidence, or loyalty) of an individual or group with regard to the function or tasks at hand b : a sense of common purpose with respect to a group : esprit de corps
3 : the level of individual psychological well-being based on such factors as a sense of purpose and confidence in the future

My Dear Adland friends,

Thank you all for your concern and views.

As a British subject I share the shame of this company which was indeed a British company. As a multi-national company the majority of shares are now not in British hands but association still is.

What this thing has done is to bring out the pollution levels contributed by companies of nations worldwide and here unfortunately the USA does not come out well. I say this, not to score a point but to say this. "In our names, worldwide, pollution of a terrible extent is being inflicted on this planet by most developed nations and through ignorance by less developed nations.

As one incident this is a horror. There have been others and there will be again I'm sad to say, more in future.

What we need now is an international cry for common sense. There are alternatives to oil yet we continue to plug away at finding more. We try something eco-friendly and that backfires too.

In some countries huge areas of forest are disappearing to clear land to grow palm oil; plants. The result is a loss of natural environment and an unsustainable agricultural policy.

Let's hope that governments start listening more to those who understand the management of our planet better.

A similar situation occurrs in other field of human activity. A wealthy friend of mine died recently. For many years he had turned his back TOTALLY on general medicine but because of this it was too late when he was rushed to hospital and diagnosed bowel cancer. He was told that a scan would have picked it up long before it was terminal.

Lesson. Look at all resources and ignore no possibilities. We need to act with intelligence.

Goldman Sach’s, a prominent member of Obama’s Crime Inc, is knee deep in the oil mess in the gulf.

Media ignores Goldman Sachs' ties to Corexit dispersant that the EPA says in toxic to sea life and man.

A New York times reporter asked why BP was using the 100 % toxic and only 54 percent effective dispersant Corexit when twelve other dispersants proved more effective in EPA’ testing.

BP spokesman Jon Pack defended the use of Corexit (According to the Alaska Community Action on Toxics, the use of Corexit during the Exxon Valdez oil spill caused "respiratory, nervous system, liver, kidney and blood disorders" in people.) According to the EPA, Corexit is more toxic than dispersants made by several competitors, which he said was decided in consultation with EPA. He called Corexit "pretty effective" and said the product had been "rigorously tested." Essentially BP telling us that the EPA, the some Government Agency that is publically demanding BP cut back on Corexit, is that making an sense to to9

The same Times article reported that the Nalco spokesman:

“Charlie Pajor, spokesperson for NALCO who makes Corexit, said the decision on what to use was out of his company's hands. He also declined to comment on EPA comparison tests, saying only that lab conditions cannot necessarily replicate those in the field. "The decision about what's used is made by others -- not by us," he said.”

The primary reasons that Corexit was used instead of Dispirsit, which EPA testing shows to be a third less toxic, BP is hedging its losses with the profit it will make with its investment in Nalco along with other Crime Inc. members. If we follow the money we’ll find Obama’s buddies Goldman Sachs and friends.” The Liberal Lying media, New York Times, ignores this connection and turns towards another investor in Corexit, Exxon.

The real players are Goldman Sachs the Blackstone Group and Apollo Management. The Blackstone Group, Apollo Management L. P. and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners bought Ondeo Nalco.

The Goldman Sachs connection is newsworthy; I think that their $4.3 billion purchase of Nalco in 2003 would be worth mentioning, especially in light of their short trade on TransOcean (the world's largest offshore drilling contractor. Ignoring the short sales are another example how The Times is a bogus news outlet. How did Goldman know that TransOcean was going to blow up and pollute the Gulf of Mexico? http://www.examiner.com/x-14143-Orange-County-Conservative-Examiner~y2010m5d27-Crime-Inc-CoverupGoldman-owns-toxic-dispersing-agent-Selling-short-on-Transocean

Jim,

Great research and information.

There are so many interlocked scandals that the stink can be smelt in every corner of the world. Who the Ghostbuster will have to be is anybody's guess, but we sure as h... need somebody.

Thanks again Jim and you too Pat for your great posting.
