SEIU thugs terrorize 14-year old boy inside home, then turn their sexism on the female neighbor (Nina Easton) who dared report about their tactics

http://money.cnn.com/2010/05/19/news/companies/SEIU_Bank_of_America_protest.fortune/index.htm

Last Sunday, on a peaceful, sun-crisp afternoon, our toddler finally napping upstairs, my front yard exploded with 500 screaming, placard-waving strangers on a mission to intimidate my neighbor, Greg Baer. Baer is deputy general counsel for corporate law at Bank of America (BAC, Fortune 500), a senior executive based in Washington, D.C. And that — in the minds of the organizers at the politically influential Service Employees International Union and a Chicago outfit called National Political Action — makes his family fair game.

Waving signs denouncing bank “greed,” hordes of invaders poured out of 14 school buses, up Baer’s steps, and onto his front porch. As bullhorns rattled with stories of debtor calls and foreclosed homes, Baer’s teenage son Jack — alone in the house — locked himself in the bathroom. “When are they going to leave?” Jack pleaded when I called to check on him.

“I want to tell her this: “Don’t confess. Mercy is not a sin.” I don’t know about Bishop Olmsted’s God, but my God is a merciful God. And dogma without mercy is hollow. It makes people capable of great cruelty.”

Amen, Sista!!

Dances: When I read that story last weekend, it moved me so much by (what I considered) such sane, sound, honest, authentic, compassionate and loving reasoning of the author – I uttered the words out loud: ‘Now that’s what “godly” sounds like to me – and eggggactly why women should be the head of both governments and churches!”

I’m on the phone with Bishop Olmsted’s office:

Holy shit! He’s still “explaining” to me “what Sister McBride did wrong”…

Him: “The media has blown this all out of proportion… she should have called someone before she did what she did…”

Me: She consulted with the board, doctors, family…

Him: “But, there’s consequences for our sins…”

Me: Sin? She saved an adult life of a mother of 4 children… in a medical crisis – the church is judging her and punishing her for saving one life rather than aiding in the most certain death of two?

Him: “This wasn’t Bishop Olmsted’s decision – he is abiding by the rules- the canons of the church… we must abide by them or there are consequences for our sins… please hold own…”

Back on: … “I’m sorry… She can find redemption and reconciliation through confession… Would you like to speak with the Bishop’s secretary?”

Me: Yes… then repeated my support for Sister McBride and objection to the church’ position on this issue that equates to “2 lives must die – not just one”

Her: “I’ll pass it on to the Bishop”… Click.

… I am merciful… I am merciful…I am merciful… I am merciful…I am merciful… I am merciful…I am merciful… I am merciful…

Breaking News!!!

The Pretender is giving a speech on oil spill.
Says the problem is that “the Leak is hard to stop because it is so far down where NO HUMAN can reach”
Therefore he will dive down there and plug it with bullshit.
He will then fly over the ocean and by spreading his arms he will part the ocean and separate the oil from the water.
He will then appeal to his inner self to heal the mammals and animals.

Sadly, we thought the oil spewing out of the Gulf of Mexico was going to be the worst disaster of our time. But this morning, Oplugmybutt gave a speech that spewed so much bullshit that the tidal wave of shit drowned 2 million Americans in the immediate area. The ones hardest hit were the “Obots” who stood praying at the feet of the president, wide-eyed and drooling on themselves as the shit started to flow.

The rest of the country has reacted swiftly and have grabbed their shovels!!

Should have known – what’s wrong with this story?

Elizabeth Birnbaum, Head of MMS, Fired as Oil Spill Becomes Worst in History
May 27, 2010 01:13 PM EDT (Updated: May 27, 2010 01:14 PM EDT)

Elizabeth Birnbaum, the head of the Minerals Management Service, which overseas oil drilling, was asked to resign from her post this morning as the Gulf oil spill was named the worst oil spill in US history.

Birnbaum has been in charge of the MMS since 2009, and had overseen many of the ventures of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig.

http://news.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474978262711

:snip:

Here’s what’s wrong with this story, imo: MMS has apparently been in the throws of corruption, bribes, favors and mismanagement for years and Deep Water Horizon Rig has been in construction/existence since 2001…

“Birnbaum has been in charge of the MMS since 2009″

Zee:

I forgot to leave you this link last night on “The Truth” about Deep Water Crude Oil spills – which is what the Deep Water Horizon spill is.

It isn’t what they are saying that “they don’t know” that should scare us – it’s what they are NOT SAYING THAT THEY ALREADY DO KNOW – AND HAVE KNOWN SINCE 2000:

“Surface slicks may account for as little as 2 per cent of the oil now spilling into the Gulf of Mexico, according to a study of a controlled deep-water spill conducted in 2000 by the US Minerals Management Service and a consortium of oil companies, including BP.

The study challenges the estimate by federal officials, based on the amount of oil on the sea surface, that around 5000 barrels (800 cubic metres) of oil per day are pouring into the sea from the site where the BP-operated drilling rig Deepwater Horizon was destroyed by fire last month. It also adds weight to reports of massive underwater oil plumes that government officials are now downplaying.

In June 2000, Project Deep Spill released hydrocarbons into the sea off the coast of Norway at a depth of about 800 metres. The tests included releases of 60 cubic metres of crude oil and 60 cubic metres of diesel fuel over separate 1-hour periods.

Researchers were unable to calculate the amount of crude oil that surfaced because it emulsifies or mixes with water. They did, however, determine that only between 2 and 28 per cent of the diesel fuel that was released rose to the surface. The average was 8.7 per cent.

:Snip:

In the Deepwater Horizon spill, the chances of oil remaining below the surface are even greater, Adams says. If oil mixes with water at depth, the high density of this water can balance out the hydrocarbons’ natural buoyancy. “It can reach a point where the aggregate density of water and oil is neutral to its surrounding environment.”

The result could be large quantities of oil remaining suspended in the water column in droplet form. The recent addition of chemical dispersants injected into the plume at depth is likely to encourage this.

http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn18927-why-deepwater-oil-spills-do-their-damage-deep-down.html

In short: The reason we are not seeing the equivalent of the volume of oil being released into the gulf on the surface of the water and on land – it’s being emulsified into small particles into the water, and concentrating in “plumes” in depths we cannot see.

They should have started this “Top Kill” immediately – to save the ocean first – and the shorelines would have also been largely spared.

Screw whether they had failed to install back-up safety equipment or didn’t have the plan in place to dome it in the event of failure. They had the knowledge to kill it and they had the Scientific evidence on WHY they needed to kill it as quickly as possible.

It’s criminal what they ALL have done to those waters, lives, eco-systems and environment.

Dances…over at NYS there is a link to one opinion that there may be more than one leak, but it’s not in the mainstream yet. I did find a USA Today story from *last week* (the 15th) that the underwater plume heading out to sea is the size of Delaware and Rhode Island combined.

Funny how they tried to minimize it by using our two smallest states as examples.

One last link – sorry that it’s from MSNBC.

But, if these men are right, we may have been getting a major bamboozle regarding the spill. They seem to be relatively certain that they are right.

Disclaimer: God, I hope they are wrong:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/37363529#37363529

Did HE WHO IS IN CHARGE mention the other plume(s) in his speechifying today?

Dances,

#47 – That is excellent news!!!

Yeah! Eggggsellent news, Dances!

No, Mr. On Top Of It, didn’t mention the “other plumes”, Dances.

Warning – dissertation from WBD on the now visible plumes:

First clue, imo. As the men in the msnbc video state, no one has ever been able to get the estimated, verses the actual, visible volume measurements to work on a 21″ split, even with the 3 smaller leaks 1/10th the largest one’s size.

Where is all that Crude coming from? I’m no engineer, arithmetician or scientist, but I can tell you this – their fricking lying through their teeth about what is happening, in my opinion (“imo” is my legal disclaimer).

Next clue: They poured almost a million gallons of the highest toxic level of dispersant into the Gulf waters and refused to stop after it was learned that far-less toxic dispersant(s) were available. They were ordered to cease its use and ignored the deadline! Why? To break it up into smaller, less visible particles – regardless of its toxicity and certain death to marine life, wildlife and wetlands.

Keep in mind, from my understanding of what I’ve read, the BOP’s (Blow-Out Preventer) location – where we are seeing the video of the leaks and work being done – is 300 feet above where the core – source – is actually being tapped into.

300 feet is 220 feet deeper than I could safely scuba dive. It is unimaginable to me the distance the pipe goes below the BOP. It’s unknown to us what lies beneath – especially given the estimates of the size of the oil field they’ve tapped and the amount of pressure of the flow.

Well crap!

By GREG BLUESTEIN and BEN NUCKOLS, Associated Press Writers Greg Bluestein And Ben Nuckols, Associated Press Writers – 11 mins ago

ROBERT, La. – As BP labored for a second day Thursday to choke off the leak at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, dire new government estimates showed the disaster has easily eclipsed the Exxon Valdez as the biggest oil spill in U.S. history.

The company said early in the day that the operation known as a “top kill” was continuing, but announced later that it had been suspended since around midnight Wednesday so crews could bring in more heavy drilling mud to shoot into the blown-out well 5,000 feet underwater.

The top kill was expected to resume Thursday night, but it could be late Friday or the weekend before the company knows if it has cut off the oil that has been flowing for five weeks.

BP insisted the top kill was progressing as planned, though the company acknowledged drilling mud was escaping from the broken pipe along with the leaking crude.

“Using lunar software is appropriate, because the early responses to the Republicans’ request for ideas are pretty far out:”

LOL! Did you see some of the “ideas”? OMG!

Any word on the theory of another, larger, gusher somewhere out there in the Gulf?

—-

DWP: I just found that article and the link that started my real sense of dread for what was not being revealed – it was written on 5/19 and is still accessible.

It was written 9 days ago and “the plumes” and “larger volumes of oil than being reported, in multiple layers, deep below the surface” were starting to surface then.

Remember the article where NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) is almost discounting Research done by their own funded research of “The Pelican” team that I posted at # 22:

“But the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which funds the Pelican, has called the reports misleading and premature. NOAA’s Charlie Henry says it is “totally untrue” to call the plumes – samples of which reveal them to be transparent – layers of oil. NOAA also says the reduction in oxygen is not marked enough to be of concern.”

http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn18927-why-deepwater-oil-spills-do-their-damage-deep-down.html

Well, here is the more extensive article from 5/19 about those “plumes” and “layers of oil, that NOAA was refuting, that are now being confirmed.

Interestingly, this article also reveals at the very end: “BP has turned down requests to have researchers use special equipment to measure the actual amount of oil being hurled throughout the Gulf.”

See what you think, as far as suggestion of an even greater leak(s) somewhere:

Well. I think we’re in for a rude awakening today on the spill containment.

I could be wrong on the video. But, I don’t think so.

I haven’t looked at the video
But I’m positive the ‘leak’ theyre working on isn’t the entire problem

oblahfuckwit needs to give up his worrying and get his ass in gear.

Did you see Wonk The Vote’s post over at TC on Hillary tonight?

What we had, and What we lost…
Posted on May 27, 2010 by Wonk the Vote:

It’s excellent! She posted a video of Hillary going off script in an interview today:

“Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made a rare foray into domestic politics today, offering her view that — given America’s high unemployment — wealthy Americans don’t pay enough taxes.

“The rich are not paying their fair share in any nation that is facing the kind of employment issues [America currently does] — whether it’s individual, corporate or whatever [form of] taxation forms,” Clinton told an audience at the Brookings Institution, where she was discussing the Administration’s new National Security Strategy.”

http://riverdaughter.wordpress.com/2010/05/27/what-we-had-and-what-we-lost/

This was telling – when she said it:

“Clinton said the comment was her personal opinion alone. “I’m not speaking for the administration, so I’ll preface that with a very clear caveat,” she said.”

Got a love that woman! She’s everything Obama could never be!

I like wonk the vote’s stuff but missed that one. Been escaping into Bejeweled Blitz and making dark images of brandobama logo and oil disasters

Thanks for the headlines run-down, NYS. I see Washington post has started to call it what it is: oil-leak gush.

But I noticed in Yahoo News that they’re saying they won’t know for “two more days” whether the “kill” has worked. Such bs. They’re giving OILbama cover to go on his vaca to Chicago.

I see I missed another all-nighter! Oh well.

What continues to fascinate me is Mr. Obama’s standing with Democrats. They don’t love him. Half the party voted for Hillary Clinton, and her people have never fully reconciled themselves to him. But he is what they have. They are invested in him. In time—after the 2010 elections go badly—they are going to start to peel off. The political operative James Carville, the most vocal and influential of the president’s Gulf critics, signaled to Democrats this week that they can start to peel off. He did it through the passion of his denunciations.

Sestak says his brother, White House met about alleged job offer

Friday, May 28, 2010
Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) said Thursday his brother has spoken with White House officials about the congressman’s allegation that he was offered an Obama administration job if he would stay out of a Democratic Senate primary.

Sestak ran in, and won, that primary, defeating the White House’s preferred candidate, Sen. Arlen Specter.

He told reporters Thursday that he would not expand upon his prior statements until the White House releases its report on the matter. President Obama said in his news conference such a report would come “shortly.”

Counterterror Adviser Defends Jihad as ‘Legitimate Tenet of Islam’

The president’s top counterterrorism adviser on Wednesday called jihad a “legitimate tenet of Islam,” arguing that the term “jihadists” should not be used to describe America’s enemies.

During a speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, John Brennan described violent extremists as victims of “political, economic and social forces,” but said that those plotting attacks on the United States should not be described in “religious terms.”

He repeated the administration argument that the enemy is not “terrorism,” because terrorism is a “tactic,” and not terror, because terror is a “state of mind” — though Brennan’s title, deputy national security adviser for counterterrorism and homeland security, includes the word “terrorism” in it. But then Brennan said that the word “jihad” should not be applied either.

“Nor do we describe our enemy as ‘jihadists’ or ‘Islamists’ because jihad is a holy struggle, a legitimate tenet of Islam, meaning to purify oneself or one’s community, and there is nothing holy or legitimate or Islamic about murdering innocent men, women and children,” Brennan said.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/05/27/counterterror-adviser-defends-jihad-legitimate-tenet-islam/?test=latestnews

Brennan: “Nor do we describe our enemy as jihadists or Islamists because jihad is a holy struggle, a legitimate tenet of Islam meaning to purify oneself and one’s community.”

Fact: (written by Michael Scheurer here: http://non-intervention.com/) This statement can only be described as a bald lie meant to mislead Americans. In the Koran and the sayings and traditions of the Prophet Muhammad references to jihad are overwhelmingly martial, and the war that is waged when conditions for a defensive jihad are met — as they are today — amounts nearly to a form of worship. Those who support Brennan’s point rely on a supposed saying of the Prophet that a personal jihad is more important than a military jihad to defend Islam and Muslims. That saying has utterly failed to pass Islam’s very stringent process for verifying the accuracy of sayings attributed to the Prophet, and it has been rejected outright by leading Islamic scholars.

Obama and his elite colleagues trying to remake the world in their elitist image. Regardless of the financial, human, and security costs to the rest of us non-elite Americans and our soldier-children, Obama and Brennan are ready and eager to shoulder a burden likely to ruin America.

Michael Scheurer, the head of the CIA’s bin Laden hunt group, said that in 1998 they arranged an operational hit on bin Laden, but John Brennan stopped it.

“…it hurts morale even more because one of the officers who got killed had arranged an operation in 1998 that would have killed or captured Osama bin Laden. And Mr. Brennan was instrumental in preventing that operation from occurring. Instead he said the Americans should trust the Saudis to take care of bin Laden.” – Scheurer

“…Americans should trust the Saudis to take care of bin Laden..”

Mr. Sestak said no and went on to win last week’s Pennsylvania Democratic primary against Senator Arlen Specter.

The White House did not offer Mr. Sestak a full-time paid position because Mr. Emanuel wanted him to stay in the House rather than risk losing his seat. Among the positions explored by the White House was an appointment to the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board, which provides independent oversight and advice the president. But White House officials discovered it would not work because Mr. Sestak could not serve on the board while still serving in Congress.

Off Topic….

Dances and all our traveling So. CA Pumas,

91 Frwy closed both directions in Corona for at least 5 more hours, if not till tomorrow morning.

Not to mention, it wasn’t a WH operative sent. HAHAHAHA! They sent Bill Clinton! omg, Sestak was a Hillary supporter. Can you imagine the laugh those two had at feeble-bama’s expense? From TGW, Bill Clinton was the first to call and congratulate Sestak. No doubt they planned to leak this and embarrass Mr. Not Ready on day one or day five hundred.

Dances: looks like something did happen with BP’s Top Kill around at 2:30 a.m this morning. BP stopped the Top Kill at 2:30 AM this morning but didn’t announce it:

From the New York Times:

But the company suspended pumping operations at 2:30 a.m. Friday after two junk shot attempts, said the technician, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the efforts.

The suspension of the effort was not announced, and appeared to again contradict statements by company and government officials that suggested the top kill procedure was progressing Friday.

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/29/us/29spill.html?pagewanted=1&hp

Looks like they are going to plan xxxxBP PREFERREDxxxxx (the one that they probably have wanted to implement all along because it would preserve their well but needed 40 days to install, imo.)

Nice of BP to wait until after the Photo Op to sort of, kind of let the public know that “the Top Kill was not going as planned” in fact.

Correction: That government ordered transparency hasn’t bothered to explain this at all:

Eruption starts at 2:20:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEKmYWErGy4&feature=player_embedded#!

(They have to be looping the “live” feed to old footage at BP’s (or Gov’s) discretion. We see what they want us to see and when – then they explain it at BP’s and Obama’s convenience.)

Well, that new link code didn’t work for me:

Used to be a Democrat and then someone came and hijacked the party and said I had to think like they do or else… so I left and
became a PUMA
but then the PUMA’s became exactly like the ones they despise.
They tell me my religion is wrong and I am wrong because I don’t think like them.
I have to find better friends

BTW a bishop can’t do anything about an excommunication – that must come from the Holy See and it probably will get reversed and yes certain things do get you excommunicated. This sister knew that and bravely went forward.

Maybe next you can pass judgement on some other religious laws you don’t agree with and are uneducated about.

D.C. job alleged as attempt to deter Romanoff

09/27/2009
WASHINGTON — Not long after news leaked last month that Andrew Romanoff was determined to make a Democratic primary run against Sen. Michael Bennet, Romanoff received an unexpected communication from one of the most powerful men in Washington.

Jim Messina, President Barack Obama’s deputy chief of staff and a storied fixer in the White House political shop, suggested a place for Romanoff might be found in the administration and offered specific suggestions, according to several sources who described the communication to The Denver Post.

Romanoff turned down the overture, which included mention of a job at USAID, the foreign aid agency, sources said.

Then, the day after Romanoff formally announced his Senate bid, Obama endorsed Bennet.

It is the kind of hardball tactics that have come to mark the White House’s willingness to shape key races across the country, in this case trying to remove a threat to a vulnerable senator by presenting his opponent a choice of silver or lead.
Along with other prominent examples — including an effort to stop New York Gov. David Paterson from seeking re-election — the administration’s tactics in the Colorado Senate primary show that Obama is willing to act as pointedly as his Oval Office predecessor, whose political chief, Karl Rove, was famous for the assertive application of White House power to extend the reach of his party.

Irregardless of what others around Obama did, even Bill Clinton, it’s on his watch, it’s his administration, and HE’s the President and he’s where the buck stops as he reminds us daily. So these roads lead back to his ass.Period. Come on, do you really think Bill Clinton and Rahm emmanuel would have offered anything if they werent sure Barak was gonna do what they said. Hell, he’s the one that is in charge so he knew about it and okayed it all.

When I was a child, I lived with an aunt and uncle in a small, 4 room farmhouse, on 5 acres, in a small town, just outside of the Texas Gulf region. If there was a problem with the one school bus, we road the horses to school.

My aunt and uncle were good people. He was a good MAN. He had 2 daughters of his own and he never treated my 2 brothers and me like anything but his own. In fact, he probably showed us more attention in ways – because we needed it.

My uncle was a “Deacon” in the church. BUT – he never treated the three of us girls any less than my 2 brothers. He protected us and demanded that we be treated with care and respect. Every Friday night, we would all go to my cousins’ basketball games. The girls’ team were stars in our town. Everyone loved my aunt and uncle – especially all of the high school kids – girls and boys alike – we were all “equal” in value and potential – not one word ever of “a girl or woman’s place…”

Our roads were “paved” with shells from the gulf. My uncle worked for Humble Oil. He would leave before daylight, in clean blue-jeans and a fresh pressed, work shirt, with his hair neatly combed and lighted oiled.

He would come home in the evenings at dusk. I would run down the road to meet his truck. He would slow down just enough to reach out and hold my hand outside the window and let me skip alongside – chatting non-stop at him, until we reached the house.

When he got out of the truck, his face was almost black with soot, except from just below his hairline from the headband of his safety helmet. His clothes were completely charcoal, stained with oil and soot. He looked years older than when he had left in the mornings. I would beg him to pick me up, but he would just steer me toward the door and into the house and head immediately to take his shower.

I knew the routine. 20 minutes later, he would emerge in clean clothes and out the front door we would go – acting like he had just arrived home. His 6.4 frame would pick me up and swing me around as we hugged each other, laughing, like we hadn’t seen each other in years.

He worked hard day after day and it was dangerous work. He fell 60 feet from an oil platform, broke his back, legs and god knows what else. He lived, but was never the same. He was in pain the rest of his life. We had to leave.

They eventually opened a little cafe in town and things got better, but he developed lung cancer – black lung related, they said.

I guess I am telling this story tonight because I think about the families of the men that died on the rig, the fishermen and women and their families. I think about everyone here – and across the country.

We’re just people. We’re not big banks, wall-street movers and shakers, oil moguls, big oil companies, stock markets or ticker tapes or profit and losses or big agencies with switchboards fielding faceless names. We’re not politicians or legislators or supreme justices or government monuments that symbolize the value of a country, its history and its citizens.

We’re just people. But, as people, we’re suppose to be what infuses the real value and purpose of all of those entities and their products and services, and our governing bodies – created solely for the protection of a country’s sovereignty, a country’s assets – for the use in prospering a country’s population, it’s natural resources and for the protection of the rights to the very basics of humanity – to be treated equally and to have equal access to all that a country collectively develops.

The Gulf, New Orleans, our Wildlife and eco-systems, food and water supply do not belong to the government. They belong to the people. Taxation of the people maintains them for the good of them and humanity. We, the people, pay heavily to protect them on behalf of us all… the people…

… but, it has become the other other way around. To wrestle control of all our country’s natural resources by “investing” in them has meant to exploit them beyond their value to humanity… to literally destroy them.

This country and “our” government have been hi-jacked from the people – by thieves, murderers, slave laborers and human rights oppressors – called politicians, big corporate ‘industrialists’ and exploiters of “God” and all of ‘its’ marvelous wonders of creation – ALL things living.

This “memorial” day – go out and tell another – tell everyone you meet – it isn’t who our soldiers fought against – it’s WHO they believed they died for – YOU AND ME.

The ENEMY isn’t YOU OR ME. The ENEMY is the ideological zealotry running rampant within government, business, and religion.

We are “People” – HUMAN BEINGS – when we return to a love for humanity – greater than anything else – we will become true soldiers – and no government, business or religion can TAKE CONTROL over our lives, nor defeat us.

For my aunt and uncle – who treated us all the same – VALUABLE.

Sorry, I am so emotional – beyond patriotism. It’s all become so personal. It’s about YOU and ME – People. Just People.

I so want to have the guts of an Alice Paul.

We need All Women at the forefront of this battle for humanity. What has been done to women and girls all over the world epitomizes everything WRONG in male-dominated systems.

I have to go now. Thank you for the personal words of encouragement.

It’s sad, but I just keep praying for the workers who are actually trying to solve the leak problem as well as those working on the cleanup who might be sickened by the oil.
It’s ironic that the Annointed One wants to take credit for “making” BP do what it’s already doing. The workers trying to do their jobs, the dead and sick are just part of the useless corporate empire, never mentioned or appreciated as much as the One Who Will Save Us-with bailouts.
Ugh.

Ok, now we are talking:
http://nmwebtech.com/stop-gom-oil-leak.html

Sarah Palin, whom I consider to be an energy expert, says it best on her FB:
“If the President really was fully focused on this issue from day one, why did it take nine whole days before the administration asked the Department of Defense for help in deploying equipment needed for the extreme depth spill site?
Why was the expert group assembled by Energy Commissioner Steven Chu only set up three weeks after the start of this disaster?
Why was Governor Jindal forced more than a month after the start of the disaster to go on national television to beg for materials needed to tackle the oil spill and for federal approval to build offshore sand barriers that are imperative to protect his state’s coastline?
Why was no mention of the spill made by our President for days on end while Americans waited to hear if he grasped the import of his leadership on this energy issue?
Why have several countries and competent organizations who offered help or expertise in dealing with the spill not even received a response back from the Unified Area Command to this day?”

And of course he passes the buck no matter what he says:
“He suggested today that a “culture of corruption” at the U.S. Minerals Management Service (MMS) was solely the previous administration’s responsibility and that the failure of the inspection system was a failure of that administration. That is false. The MMS has been his responsibility since January 20, 2009.
The MMS director who resigned today, Elizabeth Birnbaum, was appointed by his administration. And the most recent inspection of the oil rig took place a mere 10 days before the explosion – also very much on his watch,

BO, stop blaming Bush (and Republicans, and FOX News, and evil corporations, and the rich, and racists…)and just admit you fail!

Today’s tabloids

A thought to ponder . . .
A message from Europe: “The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama Presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man as their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”

“Daddy” is the white-power-man’s pimp:

BP got EXACTLY what it wanted: Screw the Gulf – Save the $OIL$

It’s been over 4 weeks since BP announced that it would be August before the relief well could be completed and they could stop the OIL flow into the Gulf.

It was also at that time that they indicated why the TOP KILL was not the preferred fix – it would have effectively damaged the well beyond re-drilling – re-tapping into that particular oil field.

They never wanted to “KILL” it.

Obama’s reaction, Salazar’s reaction the COO of BP’s reaction? The public outrage had to e dealt with…

…in time, the anger, shock and grief for the loss of the Gulf will pass as the Sheeple give in to the powers that be.

We were being Public Relations played while they were moving right along the preferred path.

What will we get next? Hearings, hearings and more hearings to justify their existence with a few criminal investigations and maybe even a couple of prosecutions of dispensable people on the rung.

The deals have been made. Screw the Gulf – Screw the People, save the $Oil$ – and the big political donors. What’s a ‘few’ more unemployed?

More sheeple, working for the government to serve the bailouts, cleanup, taxation, transition to a government-corporate run country, makes for less opposition.

Headclunker, wbd, Dances – did you see the 60 minutes show on 5/16 about DH? I stopped watching tv in 2008, as you know, so I didn’t see it until I was surfing today.

wbd – the People’s Litigation Fund may need to be a 501 c 3 – I am going to look into it. Probably someone better than I should start it up, but I will let you know what I find out.

http://money.cnn.com/2010/05/27/news/economy/BP_oil_hearing/index.htm

This man who is president of Transocean dishonored the people who died and survived by saying that anyone could have stopped work for safety reasons. Sure, yeah right. One worker gave a mayday call on the open radio and was reprimanded. Two bp employees were fired after raising safety issues about the Atlantis, another deepwater rig. Transocean itself ignored the danger signs a month before the explosion when the BOP was damaged and chunks of seal came up out of the well afterwards. The chunks were gathered and given to the Transocean worker with authority, and he said, “no big deal.”

In an AP article in my paper today, Newman is reported as having insisted there was no evidence that the BOP failed.

Did the man miss the 60 minutes program on 5/16? Did he not talk to the workers who survived? The investigator interviewed on the 60 minutes program explained very clearly what must have happened based on what the survivors have said and logs showed.

He said BP was responsible.

http://www.nola.com/news/gulf-oil-spill/index.ssf/2010/05/hearings_transocean_official_u.html

Harrell lied – he said there was no pressure to work faster on the well. There is no way that is true. They were weeks behind schedule. He pretended not to remember the conversation Doug Brown reported but did not dispute he may have said, “that’s what we have the pincers for” referring to the blow out preventer.

Can we mandate the morons who voted for OMegaFail to go to the Gulf and clean up the shores? The toxic fumes will not diminish their brain power in any way because their votes already proved they don’t have any.

Dragonfly 05.30.10 at 1:09 pm # 251:

The idea isn’t “wrong” – but we need “people in numbers” behind taking such a ‘legality’ position. There is no question we need the expertise of those who know the law – and willing to persevere on the “people’s behalf.

The problem is, “the laws of the land” inure to the benefit of those with the power to influence outcomes on their behalf – regardless of the law’s intention to protect from the same.

One “gray” ruling from the courts could break “the fund” unless we have staying power to appeal tactical road-blocks, delays and suspected judicial bias.

BTW – If I am being an alarmist, please tell me.

I don’t think I am. I say that the damage to the Gulf is just the beginning of the breaking point for its ultimate impact upon the rest of our oceans and dependent indsutries.

The damage to the Gulf and its coast is already catastrophic.

A catastrophic failure is a sudden and total failure of some system from which recovery is impossible. Catastrophic failures often lead to cascading systems …

Two more months of this “spill” at its flow-rate, will be the equivalent of a slow motion cataclysmic event – as if in a global flood, earthquake or volcanic eruption that travels all around the world.

Dragonfly #251

A warning is not a stop sign. It is just that you need to be prepared for the fight. If I knew what I know now, I would have researched the Financial Disclosure Report of any Judge involved. The SOB’s sometimes disguise them, too. Like one who listed a “ranch” but did not list the royalties from the oil lease on it. What is worse is that you have to request the FDR with the acknowledgment of the judge. More recently Judicial Watch routinely obtains them and posts them on line. I have already sent a request to them to update the Judges of the Gulf Coast. Here is the link for their FDR: http://www.judicialwatch.org/federal-courts

Did you hear Mike Williams’ story on 60 minutes? I cried.

If you want to set up a litigation support site, maybe you need to develop a list of Oil Judges. I know of half a dozen.

Zero is not barbecuing with Farrakhan, as per a mainstream, reputable source, instead of the Atlas Shrugs/Rand Paul/Amero cult.

http://www.suntimes.com/news/politics/2334762,farrakhan-press-stand-off-053010.article

For the past two years, the Obamas have been going to a friend’s house, which is across the street from Farrakhan’s. This year, the “Fruit of Islam” followers of Farrakhan (I would call them Fruit of the Loon, except I would hate to involve a perfectly innocent underwear company in the pun) freaked out because the press pool was stationed in front of their house/headquarters.

To be fair, I’m sure it would be annoying to anyone to have a press bus parked in front of your home and a gang of media lapdogs stinking up the sidewalk….but what a damned neighborhood. Farrakhan, Bill Ayers??

I feel sorry for anyone who can’t leave Chicago, but anyone who goes there voluntarily has to have a fair amount of thug in them….so I’m sure the Obamas’ “friend” is as skeevy as the rest of the bunch…but we don’t have to borrow fake trouble when there’s plenty of REAl trouble to focus on.

Thanks for the link to this story, wbd….how absurd can you get!

Maybe that would work in COURT, too— the priests can’t be tried for rape because they didn’t *request* to go on trial for rape.

Um, why aren’t they all in jail, btw?

Gee Rick – That’s one hell of an “analysis” – 514 days after the coup! Whew! Don’t know where our country would be without ABC news and the rest of the so-called, free press analyzing a president for us – that should have never even been a candidate! How many damned missed 3:00 Am calls did you need to come to such a profound awakening, buddy?

omg….I was just watching an oldie but goodie “9 to 5″ — I always liked that movie, but it just keeps getting better over the years. Unfortunately.

How far have we slipped from the 70′s that this movie is still relevant?

Anyway, lmao at your merciful wish to CASTRATE them, wbd…it so perfectly matches Dolly Parton’s character in 9 to 5, who lit into her boss for sexual harassment…she told him she had a gun in her purse and wasn’t afraid to use it and if he tried one more thing she’d go get it and “change him from a

I would guess they are scattered throughout. The 5th Circuit covers Texas, Misissippi and Louisiana. The 11th Circuit is Georgia, Alabana and Florida. I would suggest review of the judges of the district and circuit courts as listed http://www.judicialwatch.org/federal-courts

Well, apparently Daddy is “outraged” that BP’s top kill failed and the oil is still spewing.

May his Memorial day weekend be as memorable for him as the residents of the Gulf Coast and his waffles stuffed with turtle, dolphin, fish and brown pelican, and a never-ending flow of crude oil dressing, dripping down his shirt.

Did he cause the spill? No. But for every dollar he took from big industries like BP, Wall Street, Insurance and Pharma, and foreign factions like Islam; he’s proven, time and time again, that he definitely prefers what’s in their best interests over ours.

Thanks for that article, as depressing as it was. It sounds as if some PUMAs were interviewed for how poorly women candidates are being treated today:

(snip)
To Mary Anne Marsh, A MAssachusetts-based Democratic strategist for Dewey Square Group, the Coakley and Sutton slams are part of a disturbing pattern. “When you go back and look at the 2008 presidential election and look at how (disrespectfully) Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin were treated—-if it can happen to them, it can happen to anyone,” Marsh said. “….(the abuse heaped on them) gives permission for everyone else to be treated like that as a woman in politics…”

I think you are giving them too much credit to be able to plan such a thing. When the opportunity arose, I am sure Nalco got the business because of it’s connections, even if better, less toxic products were available. And Nalco probably had their stuff stockpiled, waiting for an incident like this to happen. Predictable, given the state of the business.

The Disaster in the Gulf is a Woman’s Issue

There were 126 people on the Deepwater Horizon when it blew. How many were women? All of the 11 who died were men. All the commentary I have seen from survivors were from men. The Oil Companies are bastions of male autonomy. Look at the Board of BP: http://www.bp.com/managedlistingsection.do?categoryId=9021626&contentId=7041219
and their executive management:

“What is wrong with this picture?”

Another 3% representation in a 50% + majority interest in all outcomes concerning the world.

Now, that is Karma.

Headclunker,

#318 – My thoughts exactly! The Gods must not have wanted his speech to demean the recognition of the fallen.

It’s a man’s world:

Picture (supposedly) taken from an airliner of the gulf sludge spill:

(If this is true – whenever it was taken, before or after the highly toxic dispersant was sprayed, why didn’t he media show us the truth?)

Louise Bourgeois, Influential Sculptor, Dies at 98
Louise Bourgeois, the French-born American artist who gained fame only late in a long career, when her psychologically charged abstract sculptures, drawings and prints had a galvanizing effect on the work of younger artists, particularly women, died on Monday in Manhattan, where she lived. She was 98.

BP Attempts to Block Media From Filming Extent of Oil Spill Disaster

Ed Blizzard is a partner at Blizzard, McCarthy & Nabers.
Posted: May 20, 2010 11:32 AM

Excerpt:

“A CBS news crew attempted to film a beach in South Pass, Louisiana, obscured by a thick coat of oil, and was barred from doing so by BP contractors and two coast guard officers aboard a boat who threatened to arrest the film crew. When asked why filming along the beach was not permitted they were told, “This is BP’s rules, it’s not ours.”

The AM propaganda from CNN Invent The news and MSN BULLSHIT , ask someone “don’t you think the president is doing all he can with the oil crisis ” and get the answer you want ..
While yesterday the pressie drools over and gets photo ops with the Palestinian ( Muslim father figure ) and allocates 400 million dollars to them which we KNOW will go to HAMAS ; while the POPE somehow blames Israel and the palestinian conflict for the outright murder and “cleansing” of christians in Muslim countries :
http://www.debbieschlussel.com/23127/once-again-pope-blames-israel-for-christian-arabs-probs/
excerpt :

Here are a few clues for the Pope: Israel is not the reason Chaldeans (Iraqi Catholics) are fleeing Iraq in droves. Shi’ite Muslims are. Israel did not kidnap and murder the Chaldean archbishop. Muslims did. Israel is not the reason there are no Catholic churches in Saudi Arabia. Sunni Muslims are. Israel is not the reason Palestinian Catholics are nearly extinct in Gaza and soon to be extinct in Bethlehem, the city of Jesus’ birth. Sunni Muslims are. Israel is not the reason Maronite Catholics in Lebanon are persecuted and murdered by Hezbollah/Harakat Amal. Shi’ite Muslims are. Israel is not the reason that Catholics in Syria are under attack and that their church is now the Al-Umayyad mosque. The Muslims–Shi’ite/Alouite and Sunni–are.

Pope Benedict, Israel has no responsibility for any of the attacks on Catholics throughout the Muslim world. Muslims bear almost all of that responsibility . . . and a good chunk of it goes to the Vatican and the various Popes who pandered to Muslims and attacked Israel. They bet on the wrong side. And now–and forever–that side (Islam) will go out of its way to murder Christians, just as it does Jews.

Sadly, the Vatican will not wake up completely. But it’s a fact: Muslims have killed more Christians than Jews. You don’t avenge that mass murder by cuddling with the Charles Manson of religions.

The funniest thing about the Pope and his Vatican’s Mid-East paper is that they claim that the plight of Mid-East Christians is ignored. You know who ignored it the most? The Pope, that’s who. He was more concerned with attacking Jews. And that same old blame gets, once again, thrown into the mix.”
