Judge blocks Gulf offshore drilling moratorium-(WH APPEALS DECISION)
1:52 PM JUNE 22,10

NEW ORLEANS – A federal judge in New Orleans has blocked a six-month moratorium on new deepwater drilling projects that was imposed in response to the massive Gulf oil spill.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The man in charge of a $20 billion fund to compensate people whose livelihoods have been ruined by the Gulf of Mexico oil spill headed back to the coast Tuesday to talk with officials about the claims process.Kenneth Feinberg, tapped by the White House to run the fund, has pledged to speed payments to fishermen, business owners and others who have lost money. He was to meet with Alabama Gov. Bob Riley in Mobile on Tuesday afternoon.BP PLC claims director Darryl Willis vistied a claims center in a rundown strip mall in Bayou La Batre, Ala., on Tuesday and said the company has already cut 37,000 checks for $118 million. Claims totaling about $600 million have been filed so far.Anyone who feels like they have been damaged or hurt or harmed has every right to file a claim, Willis said. These are complicated in some cases, and in some cases they're straightforward. But every person should file their claim, and they will be looked at fairly.Shares of the British oil giant plummeted to their lowest level in 13 years Tuesday as chief executive Tony Hayward started handing over control of the cleanup to the company's managing director. Stocks in BP traded as low as $4.95 (333 pence) in London, the weakest since February 1997.BP PLC said this week it has spent $2 billion fighting the spill, with no end in sight. It's likely to be at least August before crews finish two relief wells that are the best chance of stopping the oil. Scientists estimate the blown-out well has gushed anywhere from 67 million to 127 millions gallons of oil into the Gulf.

In the meantime, a containment device is sucking up some of the oil gushing from the well. Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said Tuesday that it had collected nearly 1.1 million gallons in 24 hours, a new record.No one knows exactly how much oil is spilling, but BP hopes to contain as much as 90 percent of it over the next few weeks. The current worst-case estimate is about 2.5 million gallons a day.Some of the oil being captured will be brought to shore, refined and sold, and BP said it will donate the proceeds to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.Allen also said government and industry leaders are exploring whether pipelines could be extended from the leaking well to several production platforms elsewhere in the Gulf where the flow could be captured or sent down to a different reservoir.The idea emerged during a meeting in Washington last week and is still in the early stages. If it works, the option would allow oil to be contained even if the surface ships now siphoning it from the leaking well need to flee a hurricane.BP was leasing the Deepwater Horizon rig from Transocean Ltd. when it exploded April 20, killing 11 workers. President Barack Obama's administration responded by imposing a six-month moratorium on deepwater drilling.No new permits are being approved and drilling at 33exploratory wells has been suspended.Transocean president Steve Newman sharply criticized the ban at an oil industry conference in London on Tuesday. Hayward skipped the gathering to focus on the spill response after he was slammed for taking a break over the weekend to attend a yacht race in England.Newman told reporters that there were things the Obama administration could implement today that would allow the industry to go back to work tomorrow without an arbitrary six-month time limit.Federal Judge Martin Feldman in New Orleans is considering whether to lift the moratorium and said he will decide by Wednesday.

Hornbeck Offshore Services of Covington, La., claims in a lawsuit that the government arbitrarily imposed the moratorium without any proof that the operations posed a threat. Hornbeck, which ferries people and supplies to offshore rigs, says it could cost Louisiana thousands of jobs and millions of dollars in lost wages. This is an unprecedented industrywide shutdown. Never before has the government done this,plaintiffs attorney Carl Rosenblum said during a two-hour hearing Monday.

Government lawyers said the Interior Department has demonstrated industry regulators need more time to study the risks of deepwater drilling and identify ways to make it safer. The safeguards and regulations in place on April 20 did not create a sufficient margin of safety,said Justice Department attorney Guillermo Montero.
Feldman asked a government lawyer why the Interior Department decided to suspend deepwater drilling after the rig explosion when it didn't bar oil tankers from Alaskan waters after the Exxon Valdez spill in 1989 or take similar actions in the wake of other industrial accidents.The Deepwater Horizon blowout was a game-changer,Montero said. It really illustrates the risks that are inherent in deepwater drilling.Associated Press writers Ray Henry in New Orleans, Mitch Stacy in Bayou La Batre, Ala., and Robert Barr and Jane Wardell in London contributed to this report.

Left Strangely Silent on Petrobras June 21, 2010 - 23:20 ET
The Overton Window by Glenn Beck
http://video.foxnews.com/v/4248181/left-strangely-silent-on-petrobras
http://video.foxnews.com/v/4248193/soros-poised-to-profit

All I could think about this weekend was one word: Halliburton.Everyone in the universe knows what Halliburton is. It's Dick Cheney's evil oil company. Yup, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, they're just puppets of the big oil companies like Halliburton. So, getting in bed with Big Oil is a touchy subject with the left. They won't stand for anyone with any sort of a connection with an oil company. Oil is evil! Yet no one knows the word Petrobras. Suddenly the left's concerns with politicians and Big Oil seem to have dissipated.But you've heard George Soros' name before. He's the billionaire progressive activist who doesn't mind throwing his money around. His seemingly unending quest for big government control is kind of strange, considering he was born in Budapest, Hungary and his dad was a Hungarian Jew who was a prisoner of war in World War I. Soros eventually found his way to New York City in 1956 and, by 1970, had set up his hedge funds that would make his fortune. Yet he spends millions of that fortune on things like a progressive blog site called Media Matters, where bloggers earn six-figure salaries to sit around and distort conservatives' words all day long.Soros started the Open Society Institute (which seeks fairness and justice) and the Tides Foundation, which among its many classics created the anti-capitalist Story of Stuff indoctrination video that was shown in schools across America.Soros is globalist and is one of those power players trying to establish a new world financial order:

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

GEORGE SOROS, BILLIONAIRE INVESTOR: You really need to bring China into the creation of a new — world order, a financial world order.... So I think you need a new world order that China has to be part of the process of creating it.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

He's also doing his best to implement the Cloward and Piven strategy of collapsing the system, so that a new one can replace it:

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SOROS: I believe that basically the system is broke and needs to be reconstituted.... The system we have now has actually broken down, only we haven't quite recognized it and so you need to create a new one and this is the time to do it.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

He's pointed out the bankruptcy of market fundamentalists:

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SOROS: I mean, it is effectively a bankruptcy — of the — of this market fundamentalist belief, which really came in with Reagan and Thatcher. Now, Reagan is still in the panoply of — of saints in — in this country. And — and we — we just have to recognize that we — something went very wrong and we need to reformulate our view of what — how financial markets work.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

But perhaps his most effective creation is the Center for American Progress. When the group formed in 2003, he promised $3 million, but that number could be higher as Soros admits to spending $500 million a year on his various foundations.Back in 2003, Democrats were floundering and on the verge of irrelevance. They needed an intellectual coup just like the conservative Heritage Foundation achieved in the '80s. Center for American Progress provided just that; it's a progressive policy think tank that believes in government that champions the common good over narrow self-interest and they have heavy influence on this administration.Bloomberg reported that the Center for American Progress helped build the platform that triumphed in the 2008 campaign and Time Magazine noted that "not since the Heritage Foundation helped guide Ronald Reagan's transition in 1981 has a single outside group held so much sway.At the head of Obama's transition team was John Podesta. He's also the founder of Center for American Progress, a former Clinton administration official and the guy who not only laid out the plan for how the Obama team would be put together, he staffed the senior levels of the White House, Cabinet members and the top layer at government agencies.

With that kind of influence — and we'll show you more evidence of that influence coming up — it's important to look at what Soros is investing in. Could there possibly be any, what do they call them, conflicts of interest? Through his Soros Fund Management hedge fund, Soros is heavily invested in many different things. But one that caught my attention (and seemingly no one else's) recently is Petrobras. What is that? It's Brazil's state-controlled oil behemoth. It's Brazil's version of Big Oil. They've netted $15 billion in profits during the last year. As of March 31 this year, SEC filings show Soros Fund has $637 million vested in Petrobras. Last December, the fund had $900 million invested in the company, making Petrobras one of its two largest stakes.What did Soros see in these guys that the rest of the world didn't? Is he just that much smarter than everyone else? Or is it possible because of Center for American Progress and all the other connections Soros has at the White House, he knew that the administration would be making a $2 billion preliminary commitment to Petrobras for exploration,just days after he strengthened his investment? Or was that just another one of those bad luck situations for Obama? Because it certainly doesn't seem to pass the smell test: A billionaire investor dumps money into state-controlled Brazilian oil company and days later administration dumps $2 billion dollars into the same exact company? Now the administration is crippling the American competitors and the biggest winner in this is Petrobras.Mind you, this is a multi-billion dollar company that rakes in tens of billions in profits each year. Why in the world would these guys need a loan? And why are we investing in another country's offshore drilling while banning ours?

Your morning jolt: Blow that well to Kingdom Come, says Phil Gingrey
8:43 am June 21, 2010, by Jim Galloway

Just as Father’s Day weekend began, Denis O’Hayer over at WABE (90.1FM) posted two versions – one long, one short – of an interview with U.S. Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Marietta).Gingrey sits on the House committee that last week grilled Tony Hayward, the BP executive, about the oil spill in the Gulf.U.S. Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Marietta)/AJC

First, there was the matter of that apology from U.S. Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas), who declared – and then undeclared – that BP was the victim of a White House shakedown.

Did Gingrey agree? I don’t. I think I understood the point he was trying to make, but I think he was off-base on that, because quite frankly, the CEO of BP, Tony Hayward, met with the president, and the suggestion was made that an escrow fund be created – a $20 billion escrow fund, to be administered by a third party.If he agreed to that, then he agreed to it. Certainly that’s what it appeared to be. I would not call that a shakedown, and I don’t think anybody held a gun to his head. I’m sure there was a good deal of pressure to get him to agree to that, but when Joe said that, I thought, well, maybe that’s something he may want to explain and clarify.Gingrey said he had his suspicions that BP cut corners to sink that well, nearly a mile below the water’s service, and called Hayward’s testimony extremely frustrating.Then the Georgia congressman said this:

For the life of me, I can’t understand why BP couldn’t go into the ocean floor, maybe 10 feet lateral to the – around the periphery – drill a few holes and put a little ammonium nitrate, some dynamite, in those holes and detonate that dynamite and seal that leak. And seal it permanently.And although I didn’t ask him that question yesterday — I think I had three minutes — if we get another bite at that apple, I’m going to ask that question, over and over again. What is going on here? I feel like, and I’ve had people advise me — people in my own district, by the way, who have a lot of experience in mining, say that this could be done.

WHAT A COMPROMISE ON CAP-AND-TRADE MIGHT LOOK LIKE....June 21,10 —Steve Benen 3:30 PM

For many environmentalists, there's strong desire to see policymakers approve an ambitious cap-and-trade proposal, with broad, strict caps and minimal exemptions. There's no political support for that. The next best move would be something along the lines of the American Power Act, with a still-worthwhile cap-and-trade, which would at least be a step in the right direction. Political support appears insufficient on this, too.But there's yet another possible compromise. White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel sent a big hint to the political world last week, raising the specter of a utilities only approach to cap-and-trade. Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), one of the leaders on the American Power Act, had a rather positive reaction to the proposal when talking to CNN yesterday.So, what's this all about? In practice, a utilities only cap-and-trade would impose emissions limits on the electric utility sector -- and not on the economy at large. It's at least step in the right direction.A handful of utility industry officials have also signaled they won't knock down the idea of a power plant-only emissions cap. Electric utilities emit about a third of U.S. greenhouse gases per year. The industry has been involved for about 15 years in a similar market-based mechanism that has successfully reduced acid rain, and the sector is seeking regulatory certainty as companies look to make significant new investments over the next several decades.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), the ranking member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, reiterated Republican opposition to any compromise on regulating carbon emissions, and said no bill with any kind of cap-and-trade, no matter how weak, can get an up-or-down vote.But Murkowski's assessment isn't necessarily the final word on the subject.Dave Roberts did a nice job today reviewing this compromise approach, and he had a generally positive take: If you're going to single out one sector for cap-and-trade, electricity is the right choice. For one thing, it's the biggest emitter.... For another, most of the lowest-cost carbon reductions are expected to come from electricity. Roberts conditionally concluded that a bill with a utility-only carbon price could be a credible step forward.Something to keep in mind in advance of Wednesday's White House meeting.

VA quietly giving benefits to Marines exposed to toxic water By Barbara Barrett, McClatchy Newspapers - Sun Jun 20, 11:01 am ET

WASHINGTON — Former Marine Corps Cpl. Peter Devereaux was told about a year ago that he had just two or three years to live.More than 12 months later, at 48, he still isn't ready to concede that the cancer that's wasting his innards is going to kill him. He swallows his pills and suffers the pain and each afternoon he greets his 12-year-old daughter, Jackie, as she steps off her school bus in North Andover, Mass.

The U.S. Department of the Navy says that more research is needed to connect ailments suffered by Marines such as Devereaux who served at Camp Lejeune and their families who lived there to decades of water contamination at the 156,000-acre base in eastern North Carolina . Meanwhile, however, the Department of Veterans Affairs has quietly begun awarding benefits to a few Marines who were based at Lejeune.Right now, I would venture to say that any Camp Lejeune veteran who files a claim now is presumed to have been exposed to the contaminated drinking water, Brad Flohr , the assistant director for policy, compensation and pension service at the VA, told a meeting of affected Marines and family members in April.

It's estimated that as many as a million people were exposed to the water from the 1950s to the 1980s. The water was laced with trichloroethylene, known as TCE; tetrachloroethylene, known as PCE; benzene and other volatile organic chemicals.(BEZENE WHATS IN THIS OIL POISON CAUSES CANCER)

Peter Devereaux doesn't expect to be around for Jackie's college years, but he hopes to be able to pay for them. Along with hundreds of other veterans across the country, he's convinced that contaminated water caused his cancer.It's like it's criminal, you know? said Devereaux, who has male breast cancer.While the Department of the Navy , which oversees the base, is funding continuing research on the issue, in some cases the VA has acknowledged that as likely as not, some Marine veterans' ailments were caused by drinking and bathing in poisonous water.Despite the exposure, though, there's no presumption that a veteran's disease was caused by the contamination. Each case is judged on hits own merits, Flohr said.Still, veterans' advocates have hope.It matters. That's an admission, right there, said Jerry Ensminger , a Marine veteran in North Carolina who lost his daughter to leukemia in 1985 after living at Camp Lejeune .James Watters of Lubbock, Texas , was told in 2008 that he had a year to live. In June 2009 , he learned that the VA had linked his cancer to the Lejeune contamination.This thing is huge in its ramifications, Watters said. I think it just opens the floodgates.More Marine veterans are learning about what happened years ago at Camp Lejeune .Two years ago, a new law required the Defense Department to contact veterans through the Internal Revenue Service and tell them about their exposure.Many veterans interviewed by McClatchy said they had no idea that they'd been exposed until they opened the envelopes in the mail.You know what went off in my head? A light bulb,said Allen Menard , 47, of Green Bay, Wis. His doctor had told him years before that his form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, mycosis fungoides, was chemical-related.He filed for VA disability in 2008, blaming his cancer on Lejeune's water, and was at first denied before finally he was granted a full service connection, a recognition that his illness is related to his service, this spring.

I did my research. I had to fight, Menard said.I had two professors at Boston University write letters for me.One of those professors, epidemiologist Richard Clapp , said veterans deserve an answer about what effects the water might have had on their health. It's a horrific problem, said Clapp, who serves on a community panel that's studying the Lejeune contamination.There are lots of people exposed, some to very high levels of these chemicals. Some for short periods for time, some for decades.The public is only now beginning to realize the extent of the contamination. Stories among the veterans indicate a handful have been given service connections. Each case means the VA has established that there's at least a 50 percent chance that the veteran's military service caused the ailment. The awards are inconsistent, however. While a veteran in Wisconsin is offered payment, one in Florida with similar symptoms is denied. The VA doesn't keep track, and Flohr said this spring that he'd just learned about many of the successful appeals. Legislation in the House of Representatives and Senate would establish presumptions between service connection and illnesses associated with the contamination, but those bills are still pending.Although advocates are energized by recent VA benefits awards, a McClatchy review of some Veterans Affairs decisions shows that connections to the toxic water at Lejeune have been made in the past.In 2002, for example, the agency granted a service connection to a veteran with cancer of the hard palate. The veteran, whose name is redacted, had served from 1982 to 1987 at Lejeune. His application was denied in 1995 and again in 1999.After he sent in medical opinions about the contamination, an appeals board granted the service connection. Another challenge for Veterans Affairs and federal scientists comes in deciding what diseases might have been caused by which chemical in the water.For now, Flohr said the VA is trying to educate regional offices around the country. Last month, the agency sent a memo to its regional offices describing contamination of TCE and PCE.

The memo says there may be limited association between those chemicals and cancers of the kidney, breast, bladder, lung or esophagus.The Veteran Affairs memo doesn't mention benzene, even though federal scientists said a year ago that benzene has emerged as a central suspect in the contamination. Benzene is a known carcinogen. The distinction about which chemicals were present in the water is important, because they're associated with different diseases.For years, Marine veteran Michael Schooler suspected that Agent Orange he was exposed to in Vietnam was responsible for his acute myoletic leukemia. Then McClatchy and other news outlets reported this year that benzene has had a far greater significance in the contamination than scientists had previously realized.I asked my doctor, 'Does benzene cause it? recalled Schooler, 61, of Jasper, Ind. He lit up like a Christmas tree. He said, That's what causes it.Schooler filed an appeal this spring. He expects to learn this month whether the VA will grant the service connection for benzene exposure. In Massachusetts , Peter Devereaux also waits, drawing on the patience he learned while he was in the Marines. I'm terminal,he said.Being a man, I only want to take care of my wife and daughter, like I always have.

BP Gulf spill costs hit $2 billion, no end yet By RAY HENRY and ROBERT BARR, Associated Press Writers 11:45PM JUNE 21,10

ON THE GULF OF MEXICO – BP said Monday it has spent $2 billion in two months fighting its Gulf of Mexico oil spill and compensating victims, with no end in sight.
The British oil giant released its latest tally of response costs, including $105 million paid out so far to 32,000 claimants. The figure does not include a $20 billion fund that BP PLC last week agreed to set up for Gulf residents and businesses hurt by the spill.Kenneth Feinberg, who has been tapped by President Barack Obama to run the fund, said many people are in desperate financial straits and need immediate relief.Do not underestimate the emotionalism and the frustration and the anger of people in the Gulf uncertain of their financial future,he said.
Scores of people and companies have sued BP for the April 20 rig explosion that killed 11 workers and set off the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history. Scientists estimate anywhere from 68 million to 126 million gallons has spilled from the blown-out well on the seafloor.It's likely to be at least August before crews finish two relief wells that are the best chance of stopping the spill.Feinberg, who ran the claim fund set up for victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, said he is determined to speed payment of claims.Shares of BP, which have lost about half their value since the rig Deepwater Horizon burned and sank off the Louisiana coast, were down nearly 5 percent Monday in London trading at $5.06. The rig was owned by Transocean Ltd. but run by BP.

BP also argued that its partners in the oil well project must share responsibility for the disaster costs. BP owned 65 percent of the well, while Anadarko Petroleum Corp. had a 25 percent stake and a subsidiary of Mitsui & Co. Ltd. of Japan had a 10 percent stake.Anadarko said Friday the joint operating agreement made BP responsible for any damage due to gross negligence or willful misconduct. BP shot back Monday that all the partners shared in liability for oil spill damages.The best hope of stopping the oil rests on teams drilling the wells about 40 miles from shore: They must hit a target roughly the size of a salad plate about three miles below the water's surface.If the workers aboard Transocean's Development Driller II or its sister rig DDIII miss or move too slowly, oil will keep pouring into the sea.No one on the rig has done this before because such deep sea interventions are rare. But workers brushed off worries and the pressure to succeed.It's really not a tough thing to do,says Mickey Fruge, BP's wellsite leader aboard the DDII.The rigs are slowly grinding their drill bits 13,000 feet below the seafloor until they intersect the damaged well. A group of reporters that included The Associated Press had a rare chance to tour the DDII on Saturday.Out in the distance, another drilling rig is siphoning off oil and natural gas from the undersea well and burning it in a multi-nozzled flare. It looks like the flames are radiating from an oversized showerhead. Other ships hose off that rig's deck to keep the heat from building.Meanwhile, a boom attached to a drill ship called the Discoverer Enterprise flares off natural gas taken from a containment cap that is sucking up oil from the well head. The distant flames are a constant reminder that crude and gas are leaking beneath the feet of those aboard the DDII as they walk across the see-through grating on its floor.The Enterprise sits where the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded. Some of the DDII crew knew Transocean workers on that rig.It's always, always on our mind, said Wendell Guidry, Transocean's drilling superintendent on the rig. BP has said a relief well should be ready by August, and the DDIII is further along, having reached a depth of nearly 11,000 feet below the seafloor. Still, Guidry said, it's unclear which rig will hit the target first.

Never know what will happen,he said.You never know.It's a tricky task and not guaranteed to work. A pair of relief wells took months to stop an undersea gusher in Mexico that started in the summer of 1979. Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the top federal official in the spill response, has said construction on the relief wells remains ahead of schedule. But setbacks are routine on a drilling rig. It's business as usual, man, said Eric Jackson, a rig worker.Everybody tells us to be, Hey, don't let the pressure get to you.This is what we do for a living, man. We drill wells. It's the same as any other day.Barr contributed from London.

States Need To Launch Criminal Investigation Into BP, Federal Government’s Role In Oil Spill Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com Sunday, June 20, 2010

Editor’s note: Paul Joseph Watson will present an emergency special video report on this issue which will be available to Prison Planet.tv members later today. Alex Jones will also present an emergency bulletin during his live Sunday show, which broadcasts from 4-6PM CST.There can now be no doubt whatsoever that the BP oil spill was purposefully contrived, either through deliberate negligence or outright sabotage, and is now being used to further the Obama administration’s political agenda. Criminal investigations into the government and BP’s role in the disaster need to be launched by state authorities in Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi immediately, while local authorities also need to call emergency legislative sessions in order to take over emergency response efforts from the feds before the crisis gets much worse.While BP CEO Tony Hayward is busy watching yacht races, Barack Obama, who took two vacations immediately after the oil spill, spends his time playing golf. If this disaster is on a par 9/11 as Obama claims then why is he fiddling while Rome burns? Every effort to find a solution to this crisis while cleaning up the mess has been lackluster and half-hearted. The federal government’s hyped rhetoric about how bad the consequences of this spill will be has not been matched with the appropriate action to combat the problem.In hindsight, it’s becoming clear that the government has deliberately botched the response and prevented local authorities from doing their jobs, just as FEMA deliberately sabotaged the state response to Hurricane Katrina in order to make the crisis worse and create the pretext for a police state response, gun confiscation and ultimately more federal power.Numerous reports have surfaced of locals and state authorities being prevented by BP contractors and the U.S. Coast Guard from helping to address the devastation the spill has created in the region.

(Louisiana) Governor Bobby Jindal had ordered the state’s fleet of sixteen vacuum barges to clean up oil in the Louisiana marshes. On Wednesday, the U.S. Coast Guard intercepted the barges and ordered them to stop the cleanup. Ostensibly, the Coast Guard wanted to inspect the barges — but then it didn’t inspect them. It just ordered them back to dock and then did nothing,reports Fort Liberty.Just as happened with Katrina, BP in alliance with the feds have erected an information blockade around the oil spill. Reporters have been harassed, threatened with arrest and prevented from accessing the affected areas. Oil spill clean up workers have been gagged from talking about their experiences. Foreign ships have been prevented from helping in the clean up process. Every effort has been made to stop the truth about the oil spill from being uncovered – almost everything we learn about the situation comes directly from BP or the federal government. This strictly enforced cover-up shows that authorities are more concerned about protecting their information lock down than actually cleaning up the spill.This is part of what the Pentagon calls psychological information warfare and it is intended to deceive and confuse the enemy (the American people) so that they don’t uncover the truth.The Jones Act, which forbids foreign ships from operating between U.S. ports, can be waived in in cases of national emergencies or in cases of strategic interest. Belgian company DEME contends that it has the specialist vessels to fix the oil leak within two to four months, technology the U.S. does not have. By taking bids on a contract to fix the oil leak from international companies, Obama could have the problem solved within a matter of weeks, but he immediately refused the help of thirteen entities that had offered the U.S. oil spill assistance within about two weeks of the Horizon rig explosion.This is another clear example of the government’s motivation to allow the crisis to drag on indefinitely until they can use it to ram through their environmental agenda, which we shall cover shortly.Every indication points to the oil spill having been deliberately caused, either by negligence or sabotage, by a combination of BP executives and those who hold the reigns of power in the Obama administration. This goes beyond Obama himself, who is merely there to read the teleprompter and employ his fine acting skills in selling the agenda that the globalists hope to enforce on the back of this contrived crisis.On May 27, the New York Times reported on how just days before the explosion, BP chose to use a salt-water solution to seal the cement around the casing pipe which was known to be a far riskier option that the stronger heavy drilling fluid.The choice of using a weaker salt-water solution, in light of the safety concerns surrounding the oil well in the weeks and months before the explosion, prompted heated arguments between a BP official and crew members employed by Transocean, the rig’s owner, on the morning of the blast, according to Douglas H. Brown, the chief mechanic for the Deepwater Horizon.

Workers from the rig and company officials have said that hours before the explosion, gases were leaking through the cement, which had been set in place by the oil services contractor, Halliburton. Investigators have said these leaks were the likely cause of the explosion,reported the Times.Halliburton is named in the majority of some two dozen lawsuits filed since the explosion by Gulf Coast people and businesses who claim that the company is to blame for the disaster.Halliburton’s role in improperly sealing the well with a riskier option, and the consternation this caused amongst workers on the rig, is shocking given the fact that just 11 days before the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded, Halliburton, the world’s second largest oilfield services corporation, surprised some by acquiring Boots & Coots, a relatively small but vastly experienced oil well control company, for the sum of $240 million dollars.Halliburton is profiting from the oil spill it helped cause because Boots & Coots is now under contract to BP – to help stop the Gulf oil spill, reports the Christian Science Monitor.Could Halliburton have known that an oil disaster was on the horizon, and planned in advance to profit from it? News reports indicate they could have,reports Raw Story.The New York Times reported in May that BP was concerned about the rig’s well casing — which Halliburton worked on — as early as June of 2009. The Times also reported that a Halliburton employee warned BP three weeks before the explosion that BP’s use of cement for the well casing was against [Halliburton's] best practices.Given that it was in the process of acquiring a company that would receive millions of dollars in oil spill clean up contracts, was Halliburton’s overriding motivation to properly fix the well or to ensure it remained unstable? BP itself was aware of cracks appearing in the Macondo well as far back as February, right around the time Goldman Sachs and BP Chairman Tony Hayward were busy dumping their stocks in the company on the eve of the explosion that led to the oil spill, according to information uncovered by congressional investigators.

The Mining and Mineral Services agency released documents to Bloomberg indicating that BP was trying to seal cracks in the well about 40 miles (64 kilometers) off the Louisiana coast, according to the report.The fissures, which BP began to attempt to fix on February 13, could have played a role in the disaster, though this is a question still being explored by investigators. Improperly sealed, the cracks cause explosive natural gas to rush up the shaft.The company attempted a cement squeeze, which involves pumping cement to seal the fissures, according to a well activity report. Over the following week the company made repeated attempts to plug cracks that were draining expensive drilling fluid, known as mud, into the surrounding rocks,states the report.As we previously highlighted, eyewitness evidence indicates that Deepwater Horizon managers knew that the BP oil rig had major problems before its explosion on April 20. A crew member who rescued burning workers on the rig told Houston attorney Tony Buzbee of a conversation between Deepwater Horizon installation manager Jimmy Harrell and someone in Houston. According to the witness, Harrell was screaming, Are you f happy? Are you f happy? The rig’s on fire! I told you this was gonna happen.The fact that BP managers were aware of problems with the rig and were seemingly unconcerned about fixing them, in addition to Halliburton’s clear financial motivation in improperly sealing the cap, only lends more weight to the already startling indications of some having foreknowledge of the disaster.On page 37 of British Petroleum’s own investigative report into the oil spill, it is stated that the Hydraulic Control System on equipment designed to automatically seal the well in an emergency was modified without BP’s knowledge sometime before the explosion.Highly suspicious stock and share trades by people connected to BP before the explosion indicate some extent of foreknowledge.

Goldman Sachs dumped 44% of its shares in BP Oil during the first quarter of 2010 – shares that subsequently lost 36 percent of their value, equating to $96 million. The current chairman of Goldman Sachs is Bilderberg luminary Peter Sutherland, who is also the former chairman of British Petroleum.Furthermore, as reported by the London Telegraph on June 5th, Tony Hayward, the current BP CEO sold £1.4 million of his shares in the fuel giant weeks before the spill.So we have clear evidence of foreknowledge, allied with brazen financial motivation on behalf of several directly connected parties to sabotage the oil well, or in the very least ensure that negligent safety procedures increased the likelihood of an explosion, allied with the fact that the well was indeed improperly sealed by these same parties, much to the anger of the people working on the rig.But the motivation for allowing the well to blow and prolonging the crisis isn’t merely financial, it’s political too. The motto for the people who pull the strings inside the Obama administration, people like Rahm Emanuel and Hillary Clinton is to never let a good crisis go to waste’ – and Obama himself has certainly taken that to heart over the course of the last two months.The elite are still desperate to impose a consumption tax on Americans as part of the move towards a post-industrial revolution and the kind of nightmare green economy that has left Spain with a 20 per cent unemployment rate. In a so-called green economy, over 2.2 jobs are lost for every green job created.The Obama administration has aggressively exploited the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico to manufacture an artificial urgency in an effort to speed the passage of cap and trade in pursuit of a green economy, an agenda firmly supported by the transnational oil corporations Obama is claiming to be reigning in. British Petroleum is one of the founding members of the cap and trade lobby, and has consistently lobbied for tax hikes, greenhouse gas restraints, the stimulus bill, the Wall Street bailout, and subsidies for oil pipelines, solar panels, natural gas and biofuels.Indeed, BP has been a faithful supporter of John Kerry’s climate legislation because the company has explicitly backed a higher gas tax. If Obama is able to exploit the oil spill to ram through his cap and trade program, BP stands to profit to the tune of billions. Allowing the crisis to worsen in pursuit of this goal is mutually beneficial to both the Obama administration and British Petroleum.

Obama’s Agenda is to exaggerate the significance of the oil spill crisis to massive proportions, for two reasons,writes the Telegraph’s Gerald Warner.The first is that, the more Americans can be persuaded to regard the accident as a monumental, historic disaster, the less his patent impotence in the face of it will appear blameworthy. His second reason is that, in accordance with the Emanuel doctrine (never let a good crisis go to waste), he sees this as an opportunity to breathe new life into his moribund Cap-and-Trade climate change legislation.Obama has now indicated that he will push for cap and trade to be added to a weaker energy bill after the mid-term elections in November. Every week that the oil spill crisis drags on, Obama’s political capital for the purpose of pushing a carbon tax increases in the name of reducing dependence on oil. The government has every interest in seeing the crisis worsen, not merely to justify cap and trade but also to mothball plans for new exploratory oil drilling in the Arctic, something to which the administration had never wanted to fully commit. . As a result of the oil spill, which every action of the federal government has made worse, that drilling has now been postponed.Another benefit of the oil spill is that it serves as a convenient distraction and a cover for a number of other stories, primarily the gearing up for a military attack on Iran, which now seems likely as we learn that more than twelve U.S. and Israeli warships, including an aircraft carrier, passed through the Suez Canal on Friday and are headed for the Red Sea.The underwater oil field still holds as much as 97 per cent of its oil, 2 billion gallons of oil, meaning that this disaster could be prolonged for anything up to four years. Even worse, if studies into the abiotic nature of oil in the Gulf region hold true, the crisis could be never-ending.

Given the multitude of alarming examples of foreknowledge, motivation for sabotage, and clear evidence of deliberate malfeasance and negligence, state authorities in Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi need to immediately launch a mammoth criminal investigation into the role of BP, Halliburton and the federal government in causing the oil spill disaster, as well as their continuing cover-up of the true nature of the crisis, in addition to their efforts to block local authorities as well as foreign companies from helping to both stop the oil leak and clean up the devastation it has caused.

We encourage readers to contact the office of the Governor in these three states, as well as local legislative offices, in order to bring attention to this urgent matter and create momentum behind a criminal investigation into the disaster.
