It’s a doctrine of record here you can’t trust the mainstream news sources. Why should we now assume they tell the truth about the Gulf Oil Disaster? Have you been there? And why should we give all credence to a few cranks who put videos on YouTube? I’m sure none of those videos ever turned out to be false, right?
I suppose the initial disaster — the explosion and fire on the platform — did happen. That’s covered from too many angles. I’m not at all sure what was on the seabed underneath it. Yeah, they were drilling, but aside from a batch of grainy videos, we have no direct evidence what they found. We do have a lot of stories from experts about what went wrong, but frankly the sources of information are quite few. I’m not in a position to know whom to trust.
In at least some cases, the alternative sources are being gamed. The latest comes with the name Ken Price attached, and he says this thing is just a rather common grade asphalt volcano, not a high-pressure blow out from deep earth petroleum. He denies there is a second leak some distance away, which contradicts directly some other high profile experts. Price says it’s all about an excuse to spray a few tons of Corexit and kill or poison coastal folks intentionally.
Then we hear there are massive subsurface plumes, saw videos of flyovers with vast swathes of floating goop, and yet now we hear they can’t find much of anything. One group claims a high degree of methane release, but the doomsday scenarios of massive bubbles are now regarded as silly. Way too many of these reports, either with the MSM or alternative offerings, seem to come out with only a single source, or sources hard to identify.
I suppose what is not in doubt is the vast number of people getting sick from what obviously appears to be exposure to toxic chemicals, and they didn’t even have to go out on the open water. That BP representatives and US government officials are lying should be taken for granted. But we can’t seem to get a good consistent story from anyone else. There is not yet a solid organized front with genuine experts lined up in large numbers like we have for debunking the official 9/11 story. Never mind which story line you accept from them, as there are several, we have a pretty solid foundation on disproving the official lie. We don’t have that with the Gulf Oil Disaster.
So we got a platform explosion, lots of something petroleum based in the water, but no one knows how much, or what precisely it is, in part because anything of that nature would separate some on the mile-long journey to the surface. We have reason to believe a bunch of stuff was dumped in the water, and they keep calling it Corexit, and there is much wrangling between BP and government on it. We have a lot folks being jerked around, lots of boats of all types all over the place, and apparently serious friction between state or local governments and the BP/government folks. We have disaster response folks flocking to the Gulf Coast, but many are not getting any work. And BP is seriously stiffing a lot of people on promises and contracts. Finally, hundreds of people are getting seriously ill from exposure to something toxic which can be carried on the wind.
There are stories of fake cleanup efforts, crews which come only when some public official is en route, and disappear right behind the official. Stained beaches aplenty, and lots of folks getting that brown goop on them. Stories of sand trucked in to simply cover up the stained beaches, or stained sand buried, and lots of clean-up waste disposed of illegally.
Plus we have reports of several other petroleum spills, all quite close together in time, but scattered around the US. Everyone denies they are connected. I don’t buy that, but it’s another question. I can’t pretend to discern any motives for all this, any nefarious plans and conspiracies, simply because the whole thing smells like one big pile of conspiracy, perhaps in competition.
Something — a whole lot of it — is missing. We have a lot more questions than we have answers.
