BP Whistleblower "they've just been covering it up-There's oil Everywhere"

[kpete]

Tar Balls Galore on Alabama Beaches

When we were up in the air we saw several clean up crews all along the surf line all up and down the coastline and we wondered why they were cleaning there when up on the beach there are all these tar balls, little pieces of oil, almost any where you look you can find them and nobody is cleaning them up.

"They"re down to I'd say couple hundred people they need thousands of people to get it cleaned up." A man who identified himself as a worker for BP but wanted to remain anonymous says he has been working on those clean up crews since June.

"The beaches are not clean, they've just been covering it up. There's oil everywhere. It's below the sand up to six foot."

Using shovels, buckets and fishing nets they sift through the sand but there is so much more he says, beneath the surface.

1. No shit!

2. Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, and North Florida are gonna be Prince William Sound.

That's basically what's going to happen, I fear. Exxon pulled out after cleaning up only 40% of their mess up there in Alaska.

Feds: No Digging For Oil, or Sand Castles, on Florida Beaches
September 23, 2010 • 3:30 pm PDT



You've probably read some of the stories about BP and the feds trying to stop reporters from digging into the Gulf Coast oil spill. Now it seems they're taking it literally.

A Florida reporter looking for oil and tar balls in the Gulf Islands National Seashore last week was told by federal authorities that it was illegal to dig in the sand—you know, on the beach. Dan Thomas, from WEAR ABC 3 in Pensacola, brought a very light-duty shovel to the popular tourist destination with the intention of digging in and exposing the dirty truth hidden below six inches of sand.

You see, BP's cleanup crews are prohibited by the feds from digging more than six inches deep on these beaches (reportedly a federal waiver is needed due to "archaeological issues"), even though they have some fancy machines—called Sand Sharks!—that sift and clear sand of oil down to 18 inches deep. While crews shovel by hand, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that there's more oil below that six-inch mark, yet the "Sand Sharks" sit idle and the oil untouched.

When Thomas showed up to dig a little deeper, he was stopped by a local Fish and Wildlife Service staffer and told that it was "illegal" if he was "digging for oil product." Then a National Park Service officer demanded Thomas identify himself, and insisted that, "You can't dig in a national park."

11. No shit! and this government and this administration has given BP the keys to lie and destroy our

Gulf and get the fuck away with it!!!!!

past and beyond disgusted ...Gulf Resident!

12. Attemps to blame the administration for BP benefit the oil industry, which

is running on an "Obama made us do it!" platform. Last I heard, the administration was trying to stop off shore drilling and oil industry politicians were trying to bring it back.

14. I am talking about the clean up of this stinking mess.I am talking about

the destruction of the gulf NOW by BP..and how this government has become partners with BP.

I talking about all our government agencies being turned over lock stock and Barrel to BP!

I am talking about Our Government becoming an Agent for BP, a foreign Oil corp..and not an agent for the people!

I am talking about our governement..yours and mine who played Kabuki Theater for the rest of the nation while they shit on us in the Gulf and lied to us, they lied to us about everything from day one..they lied to us while we had toxic dispersant's sprayed over our homes and on us , and in our pools, and cars, our porches..and in our air! And then when we breathed it and had our eyes burning , and our throats burning and had massive headaches, and our chests hurt..they continued to lie.

I bet you wouldn't be making excuses if You had to breathe it , or Your Children or Grand Children...or your infirmed Mother or grandmother, or anyone you knew with already compromised health...and if you had been lied, and lied and lied to by your government over and over again..and then find out months later, when you begged for answers of what was happening ..what were those horrible smells..for weeks, that you begged your government for answers.. ..you found out you were sprayed with Toxins so powerful they are illegal everywhere else in the entire world and that your government lied to you and deliberately lied to you up to and including willing to put anyone in Jail..just for trying to get the answers!

How would you have liked to live on the beach or in a beach community and see a foreign Oil corporation take over your beaches..not the government ..not your government..but a foreign oil corp who were threatened the locals day in and day out???????????? Threatening your local media journalists..if they tried to get the truth for you!! Local environmental activists , that you knew forever in your Local dem party that were getting threatened. Local vets who were threatened..by a foreign oil corp!..not your own government..but a fucking foreign oil corp! Local scientists were kept away..University Scientists , Evviornmental scientists who have worked on these waters for their entire professional carreers! Kept away with threats ..by a foreign oil corp..with the help of your Coast Guard and National guard.

The FAA was being run by a Foreign Oil corp. The Coast Guard became and arm of BP..homeland security became an arm of BP.

Please spare me any of your opinions. I have no use for them and little patients left for the excuses.

And when the cancers start showing up in the Gulf kids. a few years from now...I bet you will be ready with the excuses then as well!
