Oilbama Thursday

HillaryIs44 nails it.

Obama needs to plug the damn hole. It’s a huge disaster. Oh, and the one in the Gulf needs to be plugged to.

These guys say they can plug it: http://nmwebtech.com/stop-gom-oil-leak.html

These guys say they can clean it up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VfypUzx1tI&feature=player_embedded&yes=yes

So why can’t this huge Corporation and the BO Administration do something effective?

Stumble Bums

Remember? Last week there was speculation that there were more and/or worse leaks than being reported. There was and the Government was keeping the evidence from the public.

BP and Feds Withheld Videos Showing Massive Scope of Oil Spill
Coast Guard Told Public Not to ‘Fixate’ On Rate of Spill While Sitting On Video
By BRIAN ROSS, MATTHEW MOSK, and AVNI PATEL | June 3, 2010

New videos show more clearly than ever how BP, with little resistance from the Coast Guard or other federal agencies, kept the public in the dark about just how bad things were beneath the surface of the Gulf of Mexico.

On May 1, 11 days after the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded, and nine days after oil began spilling into the Gulf, the Coast Guard had still only released a single image of oil leaking a mile beneath the surface — a fuzzy photograph of a broken pipe spewing oil.

But inside the unified command center, where BP and federal agencies were orchestrating the spill response, video monitors had already displayed hours of footage they did not make public. The images showed a far more dire situation unfolding underwater. The footage filmed by submarines showed three separate leaks, including one that was unleashing a torrent of oil into the Gulf.

BP officials said they made all the video available to federal officials.

“The video has been available to the unified command from the very beginning,” said Mark Proegler, a BP spokesman. “It’s always been here from the beginning. They had it.” (emp added)

#12 – Yep, after I picked myself up from reading the article the first time, I picked my jaw up off the floor after reading it the second time. UNFREAKINGBELIEVABLE!!!!!

The oil flow illustrates the bleeding away of support for O’fraudulla.

FLBarbara,

#17 – I couldn’t believe it when I read it either. You should really read the whole article to get the full jaw dropping effect.

I cried when I clicked on the link Dances posted at #5. Why can’t they clean up while they fix? Why didn’t they ask for help on day one.

Yeah, the second one on your blog is excellent. I did mine (several) c. a week and a half ago as a way to channel my rage.

The massive oil spill in the Gulf is growing even larger, and as BP tries yet another technique to cap the flow, Americans are getting more frustrated and angry. On a scale of 1-5, how angry and frustrated are you?

Share your thoughts. First answer our question (at http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2010/06/01/angry-frustrated-spill/.) Then click “Leave a Comment.”

I will no longer call this event an “Oil Spill.”

It is a “Crime Against Humanity” of epic proportions – committed by Transocean, British Petroleum and their Governments in charge of regulating – protecting humanity – from their power of greed to do Humanity irreparable harm.

sorry: is that anyway possible to be true—about the
shallow (depth)—of the water and drilling.

gotta read before I submit.

Dances – can you put that dying, sludge-drenched gull on Obama’s head, a smiling head shot, with the sludge dripping down his smiling face?

As a perfect symbol of his leadership, the caption should read:

“I’m still your savior – Hope and Change dipped in chocolate, anyone?”

FLBARB: It just doesn’t MAKE sense.

It’s NOT SAFER, It cannot possibly be CHEAPER,
and I’m sure the environmentalist had something to
say—but the RISK was too GREAT at this DEPTH,

Are they this fucking STUPID——that they could cause
such a nightmare without the means to STOP IT—they had
the MONEY the MEANS the proper info.

They should ALL GO DOWN for this, NO Prisoners TAKEN—–
at this point I WILL VOTE for ANYONE who is not this admin.
AS GOD as I’m alive——I’ve so thoroughly disgusted at their
Greed, incompetence, ignorance and f**cking STUPIDITY—-there’s
nothing more or less to call it——–It’s about being STUPID,
STUPIDS——–God I cannot STAND THIS ADMIN–and I thought I
couldn’t stand BUSH—-they’re are all NO F**CKING GOOD !!

While oil spews at a rate of nearly a million gallons a day causing Death and destruction on the gulf coast, our POTUS
Spent 3 hours on the gulf coast and 8 hours on the golf course.

Exhausted from gulfing and golfing. He rested in Chicago, where the oil spill is not “urgent and returned to Washington in time to host his Wednesday Night Weirdness, whereas he invites and entertains “ordinary citizens” at the White House. This weeks ordinary citizen was Paul McCartney.

Filming of the movie Paul’s new VBF POTUS begins the moment plugging the hole is no longer urgent.

Dances,
I love the OilBama logo…perhaps his campaign will use it?

“Why did NO one ask how the hell will you plug the hole you made in the center Of the earth to prevent a catastrophe?”

They did Barbara. The government calls it “Regulation.” Transocean and BP have fought Regulation all along the way – and won – by means of political powers favors – via becoming the largest oil-industry political campaign donors.

Meanwhile – not a word on all of their safety violations and legal maneuvers around Safety and Spill-Prevention, Equipment Failure Regulation.

Lest we forget 2005:

“the BP with a refinery in Texas City, Texas that blew up in 2005 killing 15 workers and injuring 170, the BP that OSHA slapped with its second largest total penalty ever — $21 million – for safety violations at Texas City that led to the massive explosion, the BP that OSHA hit with its largest ever fine — $87.4 million – last fall for failure over four years to comply with the terms of its settlement agreement to correct the potential hazards at Texas City.

Oh and before anyone alleges that my # 34 “Hope and Change dipped in chocolate, anyone” was about Obama’s race?

….it was about THE BIRD and Obama’s typical spin on everything above his pay-grade.

The truth is, Obama is too Obama. He could give a crap less about racism – much less wildlife and people.

He’s a white man’s power-big corporate-government pimp – which HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE, PEOPLE, MALE, FEMALE, YOUNG OR OLD, GAY OR STRAIGHT, RELIGIOUS OR NOT, PARTY OR COUNTRY.

…And, he’s enjoying every second of the big white house, limousines, jets, parties and adulation, Suckers.

…Conflicts, people, economy, jobs, wars, oil spills, crimes against humanity? Just a pain in his DUMB a$$.

Obama’s not just an embarrassment or disappointment in leadership; he’s cut out of the same cultural mold as British Petroleum’s upper management – the perfect, tragic example of an epic failure to humanity. The willful intent to deceive was no accident – it was both their strategy and tactic.

I have to go for a bit. Thanks for being here today.

As a friend used to say: “The very guts of my soul hurts today!”

and some sweet oil propaganda from kids from those whacky partners, BP and our government
http://edgeoforever.wordpress.com/2010/06/05/hey-kids-have-some-oil/

I find it totally disgusting that Obama can go down to the Gulf, remind those folks that BP spent 1.5 billion and as he said, that’s a billion with a b in front of, but yet he’s
forced our country (along with his cronies in congress) into trillions of debt, that with T in front of it. Does this man ever think about anthing than money. There is no amount of money that will replace lost lives and mother earth creatures and habitat. He’s so blind. He’s mentally flawed.
By the way, Helen Thomas, if you want the Jews to go back to Poland and Germany, I want Obama to go back to Kenya, everyone just go back to their lands from their roots. Helen you go back to Lebanon. And the mexicans go back to mexico, and the natives americans can have their land back.

You and your friend were right – I didn’t find the source but found links galore to the comment:

BP battles spill, and rising tide of public anger
Thu Jun 3, | 4:48 pm ET

“BP officials aren’t exactly helping matters with public statements that can come across as callous. Outraged Web users have posted the phone number and email address for company representative Randy Prescott in the wake of reports that he’d said “Louisiana isn’t the only place that has shrimp.” And CEO Hayward has delivered at least one cringe-worthy gaffe every few days. Most recently, Hayward said, “I’d like my life back” in an interview with CNN. That ill-timed display of self-pity prompted critics to point out that the 11 men who lost their lives in the explosion would probably also like their lives back, as would the countless Gulf residents who will be economic casualties of disaster.”

BP’s Dismal Safety Record –
BP Has One of the Worst Safety Records of Any Oil Company Operating in the U.S.

By PIERRE THOMAS, LISA A. JONES, JACK CLOHERTY and JASON RYAN | May 27, 2010

“As the nation comes to grips with the worst oil disaster in its history , there is evidence BP has one of the worst safety track records of any major oil company operating in the United States.
The employees stationed on the Gulf oil rig testify in a congressional hearing.

In two separate disasters prior to the Gulf oil rig explosion, 30 BP workers have been killed, and more than 200 seriously injured.

In the last five years, investigators found, BP has admitted to breaking U.S. environmental and safety laws and committing outright fraud. BP paid $373 million in fines to avoid prosecution.”

And, on those “falling unemployment numbers” – Swapping the Employed – WTF?!

Unemployed Need Not Apply — Supply Chain Social Darwinism
June 4, 2010 1:46 PM | Administrator

“Economists polled by Reuters thought there would be a gain of 190,000 private-sector jobs last month. Instead, it was just 41,000 … [despite] Census jobs account[ing] for 411,000 of the net gain of 431,000.” And to boot “retailers cut 6600 jobs in May, contributing to a far weaker-than-expected reading on private sector payrolls.”

For unemployed persons actively seeking employment these figures are daunting at best. But if you happen to be among the nearly 14 million out of work, you’ve likely noticed a new caveat appearing in a number of job postings over the past few weeks: “Unemployed need not apply.”

PROPAGANDA ALERT! – WARNING ON BP!

BP Buys ‘Oil’ Search Terms to Redirect Users to Official Company Website
BP Spokesman Acknowledges Purchase ‘To Make It Easier for People to Find Out More About Our Efforts in the Gulf’ and Other Ways to Help

By EMILY FRIEDMAN | VENICE, La., June 5, 2010

“Be careful where you click, especially if you’re looking for news on the BP oil spill.

BP, the very company responsible for the oil spill that is already the worst in U.S. history, has purchased several phrases on search engines such as Google and Yahoo so that the first result that shows up directs information seekers to the company’s official website.

A simple Google search of “oil spill” turns up several thousand news results, but the first link, highlighted at the very top of the page, is from BP. “Learn more about how BP is helping,” the link’s tagline reads.

A spokesman for the company confirmed to ABC News that it had, in fact, bought these search terms to make information on the spill more accessible to the public.:

To everyone:

Hang in there, it is not going to be easy.

Our worst fears of certain death and destruction caused by this crime against humanity are now unfolding rapidly in the Gulf.

Reports are starting to come in now that the numbers of marine and wildlife dying are becoming visible and rapidly escalating.

We need to prepare ourselves for the worst possible thing we can imagine. Given the sheer volume of crude in the gulf – we all knew a mass kill of marine and wildlife was inevitable. We may also have to bare even more unimaginable news soon – more toxic affects on human life – from fumes, etc.

We will all experience varying degrees of trauma by the knowledge of the sheer suffering, losses and uncertainty of its human toll.

I am saying this – not to be dramatic, but to take Murphy’s advice to me once – “take care of yourselves emotionally” – whatever that means for you.

We are powerless to stop what is happening – and will have to live through what has already been set into motion.

We are all going to need one another – in strength, courage and determination – to stand up against the corruption that is the hand of death in the gulf.

We grieve together – we are not alone.

I think the mosque being built is like planting a flag on the moon or Iwo Jima. If it is allowed to be built it will scream victory to radical muslims. Gulf stories have pretty much erased any chance of an uproar over this so it will be built. Sharia law will be tolerated in America until it over powers.

A year ago i would have been on the same page as you, but today I believe they are using our rights and compassion to dismantle us. I was living in New York on 9/11 and I cannot forget. I am a gay man and I can remember in 2003 when I was working in a restaurant on W 72nd it was a Sunday and we closed early. The entire staff would have a big sit down meal together and I recall the delivery guy who was more than a tad bit emotionally and intellectually stunted asking me if I was gay and then proceeding to tell me how I was going to hell in front of the entire staff. Others became very angry but I made accommadations for him thinking well thats how he grew up and his religion. But I never would have accepted the same behaivor from someone of Latin heritage. The mosque is nothing but a smack in the face and I feel that any woman/gay/christian/jew who is not inflamed by the action is behaving and rationalizing with the same mentality I did when I allowed the pig to freely vent his bile upon me.

“The girls were down in the salt marshes earlier last week… I only hope the devastation is getting as much coverage and exposure outside the region…”

TT: Reports on this horror comes in waves. Truth be told, I think the media gets it, even on a personal level, that there is only so much the public can absorb – from the corporate and political corruption that culminated into this, to the actual death and destruction happening – and the worst is yet to come.

As for “your girls”, Texas, while I am childless, picturing them in my mind, my thoughts of them – their futures – are accompanied by that sense of how desperately we have all wanted to make things better for their generation and those to come after.

They didn’t even have a say in all of this, yet they will bear the lions’ share of the burdens of its toll.

The Gulf will now forever symbolize the complacency, lack of wisdom and danger of falling for popularity over substance and experience, when it comes to electing governance of a country. We’ve been teetering on the brink of one disaster after another, buying into the ridiculous notion of “THIS IS THE ONE” – which has done nothing but fuel the fires of political and corporate dominance and normalize corruption as the means to achieve it.

What were citizens thinking by ever giving their government a blank check and corporate giants the power to abuse?

Sorry in all religions symbolism is paramount
A mosque at ground zero?
The director of 2012 wanted to have mecca included along with all of the other “sacred” places which were destroyed in his film but was told he would have a fatwa or whatever they call it that is a bounty on his head and he caved.
I grew up Catholic and even though I am an agnostic it still makes me very uncomfortable when I hear GD used frequently in films. It is an insult to so many who are of faith but Hollywood doesn’t bat an eye when it freely desecrates the beliefs of the Christian/Jewish faiths.

Re: Email from Obama:

I would rather drink crude oil than to swallow that Bullshit Pitch.

I saw BO’s letter today and thought it was very well written. I showed the right level of empathy for those effected and made all the right commitments to do something about it.

Too bad you can’t believe a word of it.

World Domination is the goal of radical islam. Nothing short. imams repeatedly say America will be theirs. I am 43 it’ll most likely take two or three generations until there is a palpable realization. You may say this is America can’t happen well I say look at the past three years. Palin isn’t even running for anything right now but her every utterene is subject to extreme scrutiny. bambi not so much. Is it really a stretch to see women’s rights gradually curtailed over a number of years?

Henry,

I do not equate the mosque in NYC with radical islam. They are a bunch of sick freaks and I sure will be objecting to any imposition from them on my rights as a person or a woman.

These people work hard. They meet their responsibilities. But now because of a manmade DP Primary [s]election catastrophe — one that is not their fault and beyond their control — their lives have been thrown into turmoil. It is brutally unfair.
————————-
Too bad OTitanicFail doesn’t take a clue from hard working people who meet their responsbilities.

Yet another of oblah’s campaign speeches. Bit defensive, isn’t he? Has he ever layed out the truthful details of anything? Not to my recollection. One term flash in the pan is trying to resurrect his imagined stature. He knows he’s going down and good riddance to rubbish.

I’m surprised Oboilinoil didn’t ask for a $5 contribution while he was at it. When he said the “oceans will rise” he failed to explain the cause of the rise would be oil from his political business partner BamaPimps.

Counter all his bullshit with the first hand on the scene reports from Dakinikat — one of our trusted links to the reality of this devastation.

I noticed he used the term “spill” in his letter… that’s the first lie contained therein.

Yo! Obama! Kiss my ass and go to hell.

A few last words on the “SPILL.MY.ASS?!”

As of this post, the “SPILL” is GUSHING worse than before. The cap isn’t working. They cannot tighten the vents without the top hat trying to blow off. It isn’t working!

We must keep demanding to SEE what is going on in the Gulf. To publicize the evidence of these Crime(s) Against Humanity!

We must not let the images of this atrocity numb us to the point that we submit to a sense of futility over this system of abuse.

It will be hard to look at, but please, keep your eyes, minds and hearts wide open to the Gulf and everything it represents!

The families, marine life, wildlife and Gulf Region and waters DO NOT BELONG to British Petroleum nor the Federal Government! British Petroleum is a lessee in default and the federal government is simply the contract lessor/manager on behalf of THE PEOPLE AND ALL LIVING THINGS INVOLVED.

We cannot let British Petroleum, the Obama Administration and our government’s collective acts of corruption, incompetence and blatant cover ups wear us down!

We must push back, and harder than ever! The abuse of power is literally destroying lives, our natural resources, and our planet!

Nonie Darwish is the Author of:

Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law

She converted from Islam to Christianity. In her latest book, Darwish warns about creeping sharia law – what it is, what it means, and how it is manifested in Islamic countries.

“In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect the President by themselves! Rest assured they will do so… You can look at how they have taken over several towns in the USA .. Dearborn Mich. is one… and there are others…

For the West, she says radical Islamists are working to impose sharia on the world. If that happens, Western civilization will be destroyed. Westerners generally assume all religions encourage a respect for the dignity of each individual. Islamic law (Sharia) teaches that non-Muslims should be subjugated or killed in this world.

Peace and prosperity for one’s children is not as important as assuring that Islamic law rules everywhere in the Middle East and eventually in the world.

While Westerners tend to think that all religions encourage some form of the golden rule, Sharia teaches two systems of ethics – one for Muslims and another for non-Muslims. Building on tribal practices of the seventh century, Sharia encourages the side of humanity that wants to take from and subjugate others.”

Can you imagine anything more insensitive?
A hip new place to “party” over the remains of

Party? Celebrate?
Worshippers will come from all over the world to look
Down on the hole in the heart of NYC.
And it is exactly what ALLah commands, everything
else is Taquiyya, the Muslim term for
Decieving the enemy for Allah.

As I prepare to watch the destruction of yet another states (Florida) economy and environment I can’t help but think about the irony of it all.. We as a “super power” have the most powerful army in the world, the most capable of intelligence gathering for our nations security with top notch technology, unmanned Droans patrol Iraq and Afghanistan, the brand of cigarettes I smoke can be read from spy satellites and yet the enemy that is invading and terrorizing our shores can’t be fought with our “super power”
status.
The Destruction of our economy and our environment is by… Oil
That we can not stop from flowing..
It appears as if this super power is powerless but then again
How do we defend what we can’t define?
Define…. economical and environmental destruction by Ignorance, Arrogance, Incompetence and GREED?

I sent Governor Crist of Fl some suggestions about defending Florida’s shoreline with bioremediation (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VfypUzx1tI&feature=player_embedded&yes=yes and my post#64)

Some may question the efficacy and wisdom of use of these products on a gushing well, but Florida is far enough removed from the source that they should be effective and safe as clean-up products.

Not to go dump a bunch in the middle of the mess, but individuals and local governments can buy the products for local and limited use.

It is better than sitting there cleaning up dead animals and eating Tar Balls.

And these guys still say they can plug the well.

Egypt to strip men married to Israelis of citizenship

by Jailan Zayan Jailan Zayan – Sat Jun 5, 11:14 am ET

CAIRO (AFP) – “A Cairo court on Saturday upheld a ruling to strip Egyptian men married to Israeli women of their citizenship in a case that has highlighted national sentiment towards Israel.”

:SNIP:

“Lawyer Nabil al-Wahsh said he originally brought the case to court in order to prevent the creation of a generation “disloyal to Egypt and the Arab world.” (emp added)

Children of such marriages “should not be allowed to perform their military service,” he said.

The number of Egyptian men married to Israeli women is thought to be around 30,000, according to Wahsh. Only 10 percent of them are married to Arab Israelis.

“This ruling is for the benefit of Egypt, a nation of leadership, history and civilisation,” Wahsh said. “It is for the protection of Egypt and Egypt’s youth and its national security.”

About Bioremediation

I am a chemical engineer by profession who spent 20 years in petrochemicals, climbing up the ranks from lab tech to senior (female) process development engineer at a world class chemical plant. I was fired for poor job performance after refusing to by my bosses’ “work friend”. I could spend hours telling you stories, including the one about reporting to a supervisor who was a card carrying member of the KKK.

My next professional experience involved becoming a licensed Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) contractor and trying to put my now ex-husband to work. He and the business did not work out, but I did get involved in the mold remediation business and helped develop some environmentally friendly bioremediation techniques that were more effective and economical than any before. They are not widely published because of conflicts with EPA regulations that require that you disclose formulas and demonstrate efficacy. The bacterial enzymes used are not proprietary because they are common in the environment and they are not very effective as disinfectants. Most producers have their own secret formula of common bacteria.

The problem with disinfection is the toxic nature required of the products. If they do not breakdown into harmless substances, they are around to effect people. If they do break down into harmless substances, there is nothing left to protect the environment from reinfestation by the next opportunistic microbe that comes along. The solution was to use a toxic, high efficacy disinfectant that broke down rapidly after application and then follow it up with benign bacterial enzymes that would inhabit the environment, compete with more toxic microbes for food and water, and produce friendly enzymes. They are currently marketed as deodorants and cleaning solutions. I use them in my home, whenever possible, instead of toxic disinfectants.

It is a different set of bacterial enzymes that work on oil than would be used for odor control. However, they are all commonly found in out environment. The argument against them would be that applying them in concentration would change the environment and we do not fully know what that change might be.

Guess what. Change is here. Deal with it.

goofsmon #191,

Don’t get me started.

Without more details, I could not say what could have been. What I do know about are the systemic problems.

What you saw was what they had so far as emergency response. The plans need to be made before the incident. There should have been regulatory oversight assuring the facilities had proper emergency response plans. The contacts and chains of command and supply should have been pre-defined. The emergency response was BP’s responsibility but making sure they had a plan in place before the incident WAS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF OUR GOVERNMENT.

Obama got his 3am call and did not wake up.

GWB disempowered and dismantled the regulatory oversight and BHO was too stupid to put reasonable oversight back in place. Our regulatory agencies are in gross need of update and staffing. That is Air, Water, Safety and Environment. Our INFRASTRUCTURE. After pouring the countries resources into the pockets of the banksters, the ass has the gall to scapegoat a woman who has been in charge of such an agency for 10 months.

The Deepwater Horizon was a drilling rig, not a production rig so it was a higher risk deal. I do not understand why such a project would even be allowed without the relief well facilities. At the very least, there should have been contingencies to trigger immediate deployment in the case of an incident. None of the response seemed to follow any kind of protocol I have ever seen.

I have been involved in emergency response and am currently trained in it as one of my current job responsibilities. The whole deal in the Gulf was run like a circus.

Obama get’s and F for Failure.

Barbara,
Good story.
I just sent it to a long time friend of mine whose surname is McLees, on the off chance that their surname was changed at Ellis Island, like so many were.

Side note: Yesterday I met with a dear cousin whom I hadn’t seen in 46, or so , years. She arrived with a truckload of photos from ‘the old country’, as well as a genealogy chart she’d been working on for several years. The contrast of the original surnames and how they were changed and mangled is surreal.

“Did you watch the video?”

Sorry – had shut down when you posted.

Yes, I watched it and was shocked that there is that kind of visual evidence of the flotilla attacking the soldiers – yet so much focus on Israel being the violent aggressor.

Personally, I don’t believe that flotilla’s focus was about the refugees in Gaza, anymore than the refugees are the focus of Hamas.

I didn’t know much about the “Center For Security Policy”, so I looked them up after watching it and saw that Israel issued an apology for the video, which I guess I can understand under the circumstances of so much volatility.

I have known that Israel has attempted to accommodate and resolve control over the Gaza Strip, in a multitude of ways, for years.

But, the Palestinians won’t be happy until the Jews, as a nation, cease to exist. The Gaza strip, for them, is nothing more than “checkmate,” imo.

Furthermore, if anyone thinks that the Palestinians would come to the defense of the U.S. in any conflict, they’re dreaming. We keep trying to ‘keep our enemies close to us’ and they keep biting everyone in the a$$.

Even Karzai is now accommodating the Taliban – again. As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water.

This very quietly got buried by the mainstream news several weeks ago, but my email box is full of emails from Greenpeace who are fighting this tooth and nail. If you or your daughters want to get involved in their campaign against the whaling, check out their website. In the meantime, Paul Watson and the Sea Shepherds are back on Animal Planet on Friday nights with Whale Wars. The japanese have ratcheted up their weapons to fight the Sea Shepherds and to take more whales this season. They have bought planes to follow the Sea Shepherds ships and keep them from intercepting the Japanes whale factory ships when they are whaling in the whale sanctuary. I just read that the Obama administration has made another anti animal ruling. I can’t think of the details right now but I will post a comment when I get the facts. This is beginning to look like a pattern with these a**holes.

“Apparently, there is a large piece of the one the planes still inside.”

I believe the airplane wheel assembly did hit the roof and came to rest somewhere inside the Burlington Bldg. So, maybe Geller is speaking symbolically.

I think I remember that the wheel assembly was removed by the FBI in the aftermath, along with all other “evidence” from the planes that they could find.

Meanwhile our press is so obsessed with the oil spill that alot of other important stories like the mosque at Ground Zero go largely uncovered. Thank goodness for blogs like these to help us stay informed. I’m beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel in my personal financial situation and so will soon be able to get my PC repaired and catch up on the posts here everyday. I can’t wait.

wontbackdown #214

Thanks.

As I said, I’d not heard about a piece of plane remaining in the Burlington building. It really didn’t seem likely that it would still be there after all these years.

I guess it is not probable, then, that the building will be declared a war memorial, but let Geller give it a try.

She is trying everything to stop the mosque.

I really don’t like World Net Daily. In the past I have found their stories unreliable.

However, that site seems to be the only one reporting this news about Rahm Emanuel and his ties to BP:

I was wondering since the “Community Center” will include
a swimming pool, that will segregate women, deny women the right to swim,
would it at all be possible to sue
for discrimination?

Anyone know? It is a being billed as a Community Center
open to the public.

Any thoughts on what if women showed up to swim and where denied admission?

If it’s built and American women try and sue them for “discrimination” – what do you bet, it will result in the first test of “Constitutional Right to implement “Shari’a Law” as the governing Laws of their Religion.

Why? Because that’s the problem with their “Religion” – there is no “separation” of their Religion and Law – they are one and the same.

Following is some very enlightening information against the proposed mega mosque at ground zero. Apologies for the lengthy post. I agree with Dr. Jasser, who is referenced in the article, that “there are more productive ways to fight Islamic extremism,” and “there is another agenda rather than domestic security and tranquility.” I believe this proposed mega mosque at ground zero must be stopped. H/T to SYD for the link via her blogspot.

http://muslimsagainstsharia.blogspot.com/2010/06/demonstrators-say-no-to-mosque-at.html

Excerpts from the linked article –
”The Cordoba Initiative, headed by Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, is the chief sponsor of the project that is to be called The Cordoba House, a name that refers to the city in Spain which, in the Middle Ages, was a center of Islamic culture and learning. Cordoba was also the seat of an Islamic caliphate in which Jews and Christians suffered under second-class dhimmi status and was the site of large-scale pogrom, perpetrated by Muslims, in the year 1011.

The proposed mosque will be built at 45 Park Place, which is the site of a four story edifice built in 1857 and was a Burlington Coat retail store until 9/11, when part of the plane’s landing gear crashed through the roof. The building which currently houses a mosque will be razed to make room for the new structure. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission could conceivably thwart the intended project if they determine that the building has historic status, thus rendering it a landmark. Elisabeth de Bourbon, a spokeswoman for the Landmarks Commission said a hearing is scheduled to take place on that very subject. New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg has weighed in on the issue and has expressed support for the project.

Imam Rauf insists that the $150 million project is meant to heal the wounds of 9/11. “We’ve approached the community because we want this to be an example of how we are cooperating with the members of the community, not only to provide services but also to build a discourse on how Muslims and non-Muslims can cooperate together to push back against the voice of extremism”, he said.

Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy says there are more productive ways to fight Islamic extremism and has questions about the financing. According to reports, the building that occupies the site was purchased last year for $4.85 million in cash by Soho Properties, a real estate company run by Muslims. Imam Rauf, who is also the founder of the American Society for Muslim Advancement was an investor in that transaction.

Dr. Jasser said that with such a financial commitment, there needs to be full disclosure about where the money is coming from. “There should be transparency about who those investors are; whether that money is coming from a domestic source or not, and if it’s coming from foreign interests we need to know, because I think that’s a liability, and it shows that there is another agenda rather than domestic security and tranquility” he said. –

Definition/history re the words “caliphate” and “pogrom” is available at these links:
http://www.knowledgerush.com/kr/encyclopedia/Caliphate/
http://www.reference.com/browse/caliphate
http://www.answers.com/topic/pogrom

What I see in the above information is that the “Cordoba House,” the name chosen for the proposed mega mosque at ground zero, is an Islamic symbol of conquest and dominion and servitude or worse for all non-Muslims, and certainly NOT a symbol of “healing” as its backers claim. The proposed mega mosque is planned to open Sept. 11, 2011, a very symbolic date in the Islamic world, exactly 10 years after the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, and 100 years after the last caliphate began in Spain, under which “Jews and Christians suffered under second-class dhimmi status” and “the site of large-scale pogrom, perpetrated by Muslims, in the year 1011.”

The “caliph,” who rules over all — enforcing sharia law and ruling spiritually and militarily — rules over the “caliphate,” the land under his dominion. “Pogrom,” according to the definitions I found, is “An organized, often officially encouraged massacre or persecution of a minority group, especially one conducted against Jews.”

Where have you been DWP , Helen Thomas has been a rabid anti-semite for years.. she just was never quite so free and open with her opinion as in the presence of the muslim sympahtizer in office… maybe that is why she went after Bush , because he was a staunch defender of Israel. If you think the loss of such a biased and reprehensible person is a shame, well them THAT IS a shame, and you deserve Obama .
———–
I don’t have a pony (unity or otherwise) in this race.
I’m not aware that Thomas is a rabid anti-semite. If you could provide info [links] to support that point, I’d be most appreciative and glad to read it.

I hate to think that suggesting Israelis re-locate to their homelands or criticism of the Israeli government equals anti-semitism. That would be too much like criticizing obama’s policies equates to charges of racism.

I think Thomas questioned Bush because he lied the US into war. She’s questioned other preisdents in a most direct and critical way as well.

I think the US’s staunch defense of Israel is purely political / militarily strategic because of its location. That defense also garners campaign donations from Jewish people, and some sects of Christians due to their belief that Jesus won’t return for the beaming up thingie unless Israel is in tact. Israel knows as much and doesnt have a problem with the motivation because one way or another it is still the benefactor of the millions the US gives to them, aside from the armaments the US provides Israel.

Personally, I think the $10 million per day going to Israel would go a long way in to fight current day holocausts… ethnic cleansings, Rwanda, or toward reparations to African American decendants of slaves; or even more recently, the survivors of the Gulf oil gusher that has eradicated / diminished American citizens’ ability to survive in that area.

Just some thoughts. As I said, i don’t have a pony in this race, and frankly couldn’t care any less.

A blog is nothing but opinions. Opinions like seeds strewn all over them. If bringing in another opinion (that I am not attached to, as I stated) is pesticide, then so be it.

I don’t get your analogy. Are you saying if gays and lesbians took over, let’s say Alcatraz Island, and it created decades of problems, and some thought the gays and lesbians should go back to their cities of origin, what would I say then? I don’t know. It would depend on the circumstances, method and means, and the purpose/ motivation for taking over the island in the first place.

If Helen Thomas said it, or some other individual, of which I’m sure there would be plenty, I’d like to think I would take it as just that, an opinion. Thomas isnt the President or any governing authority, she doesn’t have the power to manifest her opinion.

and, please, if you’re hgoing to insinuate yourself into a conversation, try not to derail it for the personal purpose of taking potshots at either of the two having the converstaion. It’s dishonest and weasely.

Dances, listen to your words.

If displaced Mexicans were gifted a state, let’s call it Kansas… and were warring with those that were evicted from the former Kansas, and it was 80 years after they were originally displaced by horrors beyond comprehension… then, in a way, that suggestion would makes sense.

Tell me if this fits: If I evicted you from your home, moved in, and told you to go live in the backyard…

My family has served in the military of this country in every war since 1535. I know exactly what the military is for. Please do not act like I am unAmerican because I would like to see our constitution upheld for Women as well as men. Freedom of speech is a right.

As far as funding military actions in other countries that is the Congresses actions not the military giving the money. Why don’t we try to use it for paying down the deficit and cleaning up the Gulf… hmmm….

I thought this interesting.
Leslie Gelb, former president of the Council on Foreign Relations, writes, the blockade is not just perfectly rational, it is perfectly legal. Gaza under Hamas is a self-declared enemy of Israel a declaration backed up by more than 4,000 rockets fired at Israeli civilian territory. Yet having pledged itself to unceasing belligerency, Hamas claims victimhood when Israel imposes a blockade to prevent Hamas from arming itself with still more rockets. 

In World War II, with full international legality, the United States blockaded Germany and Japan. And during the October 1962 missile crisis, we blockaded (quarantined) Cuba. Yet Israel is accused of international criminality for doing precisely what John Kennedy did: impose a naval blockade to prevent a hostile state from acquiring lethal weaponry.

Oh, but weren’t the Gaza-bound ships on a mission of humanitarian relief? No. Otherwise they would have accepted Israel’s offer to bring their supplies to an Israeli port, be inspected for military material, and have the rest trucked by Israel into Gaza as every week 10,000 tons of food, medicine, and other humanitarian supplies are sent by Israel to Gaza. 

Why was the offer refused? Because, as organizer Greta Berlin admitted, the flotilla was not about humanitarian relief but about breaking the blockade, i.e., ending Israel’s inspection regime, which would mean unlimited shipping into Gaza and thus the unlimited arming of Hamas.

Israel has already twice intercepted weapons-laden ships from Iran destined for Hezbollah and Gaza. What country would allow that?

In general, just because something supports your opinion/position, that doesn’t make it “the truth”.
Just saying.

Barbara,
Thanks for that info. Do you have a link for that piece? I can’t tell which parts are quotes and which are assumption, and I’d like to read it for myself. Thanks.

There is far more to that region’s Jewish-Arab history, Dances, than an “eviction” analogy can equitably offer.

It goes back too far and I am not prepared nor do I desire to defend either side’s history in its claim of their right to possess that land.

Israel is not the villain, however, in how they regained possession of the region they now occupy.

What I will say is that the 1993 Oslo Accord resulted in an agreement on entering into a 5 year period for negotiations between the two nations for peaceably co-existing in the region – based in large part on establishing recognition of their respective histories.

Who was the spoiler of that Accord? HAMAS! (Who wasn’t even an established organization until 1987. Who funds and manages all of the schools, health-care clinics, mosques, youth groups, athletic clubs, and day-care centers in the Palestinian region? HAMAS.

Who is the primary instigator of Suicide bombings and military aggression against Israel – beginning in 1993? HAMAS.

As long as Palestine, or any other Nation, including our own, attempts to allow or recognize HAMAS as a legitimate “leader” in Islamic interests, there will be violence – it’s how Hamas has always asserted and enforced its position, in all matters, since their founding.

Delle,

Okay, so all the people that lived there for 1879 years were determined not to have any rights to the land by the UN and declared illegal immigrants.

Well then, I guess the American Indians that held the land here have every right to go to the UN and demand that we are all booted out. After all Europeans have only lived here 600 to 800 years.

The Jews were thrown out of Israel by the Romans in the year 69AD.

Thanks for the info. I thought that was the case, that the Jewish people were thrown out of Israel a couple of thousand years ago.
To me, that makes return rights rather iffy, at best.

By the way, I’m not reading “hatred of Israel” here, and if my own tone suggests that, it is not the case. Seriously I couldnt care any less. To me it’s all part of the boys’ patriarchal / religious destructive crap and games…
and I am truly burned out on all of their bullshit except where it pertains to women and girls (and as of yet untainted boys).

Dances –

When it comes to the subject of Israel and Palestine we all get burned out and sometimes lose our heads.

I did not mean to suggest that you hated Israel or were in any way an anti-semite.

If it sounded that way, I apologize.

I am also sad that we as women have lost a voice in a high position. As the Dean of the DC press corps Ms. Thomas had a powerful position. She will not be replaced by a woman any time in the near future. All because she exercised her right of freedom of speech. Her comments are hers, just like Limbaugh, Beck, O’Rielly, etc. Were they fired for making unpopulist statements… hmmmm…

Our military fights to guarantee we have those rights. Well, I guess they don’t apply to women. Oh, that’s right they don’t because ERA never passed.

Thanks for the update that it was a gas line and not natural gas facility. I was about to ask you if BP owned it…

#271 – Yuck. Very little was said in the press about their buying up all the keywords too.

When I traveled to Gaza it was as a UN
Volunteer to teach Women and children, as Hamas
has never and I doubt will ever allow
Care or Women for Women International to set up it’s proven
Programs.
It took me less than a day to realize I
was on the wrong side of the wall.
Children are taught by Hamas to hate, schools are terrorist training camps and that’s the way they want it.
A mother must give permission for her child to be a suicide bomber. So girls grow up hating and as mothers give their permission to continue the violence.
Boys grow up believing their heroes are suicide bombers and strive to be just like them. There are literally posters of their heroes all over.
They actually play suicide bomber games. Israel and the US are their targets..always.
It has been proven the more educated a woman the less likely she is to give permission. Hamas does not want their women educated because of this reason. Which should be very telling in itself.
This is very sad to me because as you know the way to Peace is through educating women and children but Hamas controls the education not the UN.
IMO they do not want Peace…

when one is attempting to be allowed the right to exist…and when completely surrounded by countries that insist on absolute annihilation of your country, mandatory military service just doesn’t seem as such a stretch to me…

Goofs, Israel did not “get their own country” IT IS their own country … it was for thousands of years before the Palestinians showed up…read your history. The ( gee let me use a word you might understand ) MEME that somehow those Jews were somehow given a country is part of the entire ANTI SEMITIC propaganda spewed by people who want you and other incredibly underinformed people to think Israel does not have a right to exist, and by thinking this, have.. along with a muslimn appeaser and sympathizer president, may be bringing us to the brink of war with Iran .This is not just my opinion .

An open letter to Helen Thomas
By YORAM DORI
06/07/2010 06:32

In light of your recent remarks that Jews must “get the hell out of Palestine” and “go home,” I think I should tell you about my parents’ families.
Dear Ms. Thomas, I read on numerous Web sites the remarks attributed to you (and I did not see any denial) that we, the Jews must “get the hell out of Palestine” and “go home” to Germany or Poland. I am convinced that you are aware of the events which took place during the years 1939-1945 but, to be certain, I think it appropriate to tell you a little about my parents and their families.

My mother was sent to Palestine from Germany in 1933 with the rise of the Nazis to power by her farseeing parents. The British blockade, which prevented Jews fleeing the Nazi horrors from entering, made it difficult for her and only the pretext of coming on a tourist visit enabled her to enter and remain alive. Her older sister, Sarah, her husband and three children aged 12, 10 and seven did not succeed in finding a way of coming to Palestine and were sent by the Nazis to Poland and from there, their journey to the Auschwitz gas chambers, was short. I understand that it is there that you wish to send me.
My father, who lived in Austria, also showed resourcefulness and immediately on the German invasion and sailed to Palestine. On the way – again the British blockade – he was forced to throw his passport into the sea so that, heaven forbid, they would not send him back to Austria, another country you wished I was moving to. His older brother and his wife, who did not go with him, were murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators.

My parents, who, as mentioned, with lifesaving initiative, fled from Europe before they were murdered, arrived in a desolated and barren country, worked in orchards, barely supported themselves and, by the way, were happy with their lot. In 1947 upon hearing of the UN resolution on the partitioning of the country, they danced in the streets, even though most of the area of Israel was torn from its sovereignty. For brands who survived the fire, it was enough.
The Palestinians and Arab countries, who gained most of the area, refused to accept the UN resolution and began a war to annihilate us. Only three years had passed since the liberation of Auschwitz and again we – the Jews – faced the danger of annihilation. To our joy, 600,000 Jews were victorious over millions of armed Arabs. It appears that justice has power and strength of its own.
IN THE 62 years of our existence, we have had seven wars, thousands of terror attacks, buses which have exploded in streets, firing into schools, mortars fired on kindergartens. Yet you wish to exile us back to the inferno, as if nothing happened 65 years ago in Europe, as if our hands have not been stretched out for peace since the establishment of the state?

We were victorious in the wars imposed upon us by Egypt and we signed a peace agreement with it after yielding all the territory and all the oil. We signed a peace agreement with Jordan. We yielded all the territory and much water. We withdrew from Lebanon to the international border and, in return, we received Hizbullah katyushas on our citizens. We left Gaza and in return, we received massive firing on our citizens in the South. Are you aware, Ms. Thomas, that many children from Sderot and the area around Gaza wet their beds until a late age out of fear of the Hamas missiles? And it is us that you wish to exile? Why? Because you think that we are weak or because it annoys you that we are not defeated?

As someone, who throughout his adult life has been a member of the Israeli “peace camp,” notwithstanding you and your strange and angering views, my friends and I (and I hope also my government) will continue to turn over every stone and scour every corner to attain peace. Peace, which will enable us to the smallest extent to live and our neighbors, the Palestinians, to establish a country and to flourish and prosper. To achieve this, we are prepared to make great concessions, to give back all the territories gained as a result of wars which our neighbors forced on us. There is only one thing we want in return – life. A quiet life, a life without terror, a life without missiles, a life like the one you have in Washington and which I, in Israel, also deserve.

DancesWithPumas 06.07.10 at 3:04 pm

The warring will be ended when the US stops backing Israel. that’s when Israel will be more than willing to reach a reasonable and just peace agreement. As long as Israel has the assurances of US military might behind it, it will act with impunity, i.e. when Sharon marched up to the Temple surrounded by 200 troops. Totally uncalled for and instigative. I think that was around 2000 or so (?).

This is yet another anti -semetic meme that will lead to the destruction of Israel and possible war with Iran You don’t even have your facts straight but assume that if the USA just stops backing Israel becasue they are bold enough to defend themselves .
By this logic , if the Tibetans stop fighting for their country they will have peace too .. Oh wait they have no country , CHINA has it..

Goofsmom,
Please don’t get me wrong, I do not see Israel as perfect or blameless in multitude of years of “peace process” ..but

1) Hamas does not receive money from the US.. so that would not entice him to participate
and
2) and as for Israel.. if the one that you are attempting to get “peace” with, truely believes that you should not be whipped off the face of the earth, and the act of breathing the same air, is abhorent to to them .. it tends to be a pretty tough to find a beginning point to establish a peaceful co-exsistence

That would be like me going to Uganda and attempting to negotiate with one of the radical anti-gay “pastors” to preform a wedding ceremony for myself and my partner…

I know…I don’t know what should be done either

Swannie 06.07.10 at 6:51 pm
the over all tone and at the very least the following two sentences, justify abuse much more then “honest response”

“…read your history”
“( gee let me use a word you might understand ) ”

just my rare to be humble opinion

HI Goofsmom
Phone is on and off, sorry.
Not sure of what is taught in school in
Israel…so I can’t comment. As I said, I do know the hatred taught by the Hamas terrorists in schools.
Not sure but are you saying that military training that is required of all citizens of Israel is like that of Hate teachings?

Does anyone believe that Islam
wants PEACE with the US?

PEACE is not what they want they want to destroy
Everyone that is not Muslim, that’s Jihad…they will continue to wage their
War till they Conquer the world.

FLBarbara,

#286 – Understood. I do not believe that Islam is a religion of peace and love.

Preparing for war constantly, being under attack, or the threat of attack would make it difficult for most to not have a hatred of those threatening and attacking them. That is what I was refering too.

Well then goofs, you of all people should understand , that if your people were to have their country back as is their RIGHT ,, that they would also have every right to defend themselves , and I certainly wish they would. Tyranny is responsible, not people who fight to survive.

#290 – or is it only my Bohemian family?

For what it’s worth, goofs, to me it seemed as if Swannie’s impatience was with the people who *rely* on the general ignorance on the history of Israel in order to spread their false memes. It didn’t seem as if she were blaming “you and the people ignorant of the history” for being misinformed — she was blaming the people who prey on that ignorance. I could be wrong, but I seem to recognize that, because people get mad at me all the time for the same thing…when I have no patience for certain rightwing memes, people think I am attacking them. Just my two cents, but I hope they help!

Another editorial about the mosque:

http://biggovernment.com/amellon/2010/06/08/mosque-and-state-the-greater-implications-of-the-911-islamic-center/

This still concerns me. Because the rally has come and gone, I don’t want this issue to fade away.

Well….here is an example of how moronic Islamic law continues to be. You can’t make this crap up! Saudi clerics are demanding that adult women provide breast milk to men…only they can’t decide on how the breast milk should be spooned over:

http://www.aolnews.com/world/article/saudi-clerics-advocate-adult-breast-feeding/19504280

Sheikh Al Obeikan, an adviser to the royal court and consultant to the Ministry of Justice, set off a firestorm of controversy recently when he said on TV that women who come into regular contact with men who aren’t related to them ought to give them their breast milk so they will be considered relatives.

“The man should take the milk, but not directly from the breast of the woman,” Al Obeikan … made the statement after being asked on TV about a 2007 fatwa issued by an Egyptian scholar about adult breast-feeding, said that the breast milk ought to be pumped out and given to men in a glass…. his remarks were followed by an announcement by another high-profile sheik, Abi Ishaq Al Huwaini, who said that men should suckle the breast milk directly from a woman’s breast.

…But under Islamic law, breast milk siblings have to be breastfed before the age of 2 in five “fulfilling” sessions. Islam prohibits sexual relations between a man and any woman who breastfed him in infancy. They are then allowed to be alone together when the man is an adult because he is not considered a potential mate.

“The whole issue just shows how clueless men are,” blogger Eman Al Nafjan wrote on her website. “All this back and forth between sheiks and not one bothers to ask a woman if it’s logical, let alone possible to breastfeed a grown man five fulfilling breast milk meals….Moreover, the thought of a huge hairy face at a woman’s breast does not evoke motherly or even brotherly feelings.”

Delle, #378, thanks so much for the link to the article re the mega mosque. Says it all, and needs to be widely shared. This mega mosque must be stopped.

Zee 06.08.10 at 9:57 am # 377:

It’s a huge investment… it can be or not so much. It’s important to me because it seems that very similar issues are playing out in our own backyard now – American soil – from 9/11 to the Mosque.

It shouldn’t be difficult to understand Israel’s unending lack of “homeland” security and Palestine’s HAMAS’ use of ‘terroristic hate’ in its unending game of infusing its presence to gain dominance.

Swannie’s post at # 309, from Wikipedia, provides a good, quick overview of the history and players involved:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel

Great blog post about the fact that BO knew early on (April) about the extent, technical difficulties and potential timeframe of the Gulf BP oil disaster and, rather than immediately dealing with it, focused on protecting his image and distracting the public. “Impeach, Remove, Imprison Barack Obama — Part I”

http://www.hillaryis44.org/

Excerpt:
“Obama knew but kept quiet. Obama distracted. The oil gushed. Obama golfed. The oil spread. Obama partied. The crude grew and moved slowly to shore.”

Yes, our own backyard for sure.
The goal of Hamas as stated in their charter is to “raise the flag of Allah in Palestine”
Is not that the goal of Islam world wide?

IF “Israel were to pack up their bags and go home” as suggested and the flag of Allah flies over Palestine where does that leave the US?
Would Islamic Jihadists stop terrorizing the US? Since Islams goal is to dominate the globe I don’t believe so.
I am worried about the US and when I hear mosques being built at ground zero and people saying its “no big deal let them have the land where the burlington coat factory was destroyed on 911″
Its not about land it’s about how they got the land and what they want to do with the land, and it’s about why they want the land and where is the next land and when does it end?

Who is Hamas?

http://www.nativetimes.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3699:confusion-mistrust-remains-in-indian-land-redress&catid=51&Itemid=27

KIMA, Washington (AP) – Shirley Butterfly DeVolve inherited 52 acres (21 hectares) on Montana’s vast Blackfeet Indian Reservation when her father died in 1980.

The problem is, a part of an acre (hectare) is on this ridge, a fraction of an acre (hectare) in that valley, one-hundredth of an acre here and there. Dozens of relatives own tiny adjacent parcels, making it difficult for anyone to use or sell the land.

DeVolve, 57, has a map of the parcels, much of it leased for decades by the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs to private interests for cattle grazing. But the federal government – which serves as trustee for some 56 million acres (22.66 million hectares) of land owned by tens of thousands of American Indians and Alaska Natives – seldom sent checks, DeVolve said.

She remembers her father, Charles Butterfly, asking when she was very young, “Where’s our money?”

That question went to the heart of the massive class-action lawsuit against the federal government that dragged on for 14 years before resulting in a $3.4 billion settlement that the U.S. House of Representatives approved Friday.

Filed by lead plaintiff Elouise Cobell of Browning, Montana, in 1996, the suit represents between 300,000 and 500,000 Indian landowners in almost every U.S. state.

The settlement must still be accepted the Senate. A Cobell spokesman said Friday that the parties had agreed to extend until June 15 the May 28 deadline for approval mandated by a federal court.

Even as outlined, the deal created broad confusion, anger and lingering resentment across Indian Country.

The suit alleged the government mismanaged Indians’ trust assets, swindling them out of billions of dollars in royalty payments for oil, gas, timber, grazing and other leases.

Some residents of Indian Country have worried the agreement might still fall apart, while others say it is unjust and want no part of it.

In DeVolve’s case, she has an old filing cabinet in her crowded Yakima living room containing decades worth of papers regarding her parcels. What has happened with her family’s land, as it has with that of many others, the government calls “fractionation.” It’s the dilution of the original allotment as it passed in ownership through succeeding generations.

“It’s hard,” DeVolve said. “I try to get it straight in my head and by the end of the night I just have a headache.”

But she has a clear metaphor for what she thinks has happened over the decades.

The Indian trust money was a hen house, and the fox appointed itself guard of the chickens, she said.

Unbelievable WBD

“Unbelievable WBD”

I don’t know which story your are referring to, Swannie, but both make my head spin.

The following BP, Britain, U.S. and British Petroleum story shows me how deft I am when it comes to certain history and how that “KILLER OIL” pouring into the Gulf is more valuable than any person, place or country:

Excerpted from an interview with Stephen Kinzer, author of All the Shah’s Men: An American Coup and the Roots of Middle East Terror.

“What happened was that in the first half of the twentieth century, Americans had a super good image in Iran. The only Americans there were doctors and school teachers and people who really were selflessly devoting themselves to Iranians.

Meanwhile, the British and the Russians and the French and other colonial powers were ripping Iran apart and stealing and looting everything of value there. So they, people in Iran, had a very high, exalted opinion of the United States, perfect country, the ideal country. And the words of Franklin Roosevelt in all his radio speeches during the Second World War also had a big impact on Iranians. And, of course, there was a big World War II conference in Tehran that just focused Iranians on the ideals of freedom that the Allied powers said they were fighting for.

So in the period after World War II, Iranian nationalism came to focus on one great cause. At the beginning of the twentieth century, as a result of a corrupt deal with the old dying monarchy, one British company, owned mainly by the British government, had taken control of the entire Iranian oil industry. This one company had the exclusive rights to extract, refine, ship and sell Iranian oil, and they paid Iran a very tiny amount. But essentially the entire Iranian oil resource was owned by a company based in England and owned mainly by the British government. That was Anglo-Iranian Petroleum, later to become British Petroleum and BP.”
