Reply #27: Saw the interview - and agree (bigtime) with the premise - but he is no whistleblower

afaik - Allegiance Capital Corporation is an investment bank. He mentioned he "was trying to get skimmers to the gulf". That may mean he has a commercial interest in the game? We'll know more when he actually testifies.


I totally agree the dispersant use is a crime against humanity, and that BP is using it to hide the oil, but just wanted to add a caveat about the messenger here.

A more interesting question - how come the EPA STILL allowes the use of this particular dispersant that is banned in the UK, not very effective and ecologically one of the worst??

BP refused to change, stating nothing better was available in the required quantities. That may have been true in the beginning, but NO WAY that still carries water now. Any other dispersant's productiuon could have been ramped up to the desired amount I very very sure.

Corexit is made by a company owned in part by BP. People then speculate they use it for the profit (some 100 million $ worth has been used by now), which I find unlikely.

Do it with your own product so you can hide the true amounts used, that's what I find likely.

The Corexit use is a disgrace.
