'The Real Reason the Oil Still Flows' - Read JoAnne Moretti & Hear Her Tonight

"The Awakening" is moving to this Thursday night (10pm-Midnight, ET) joining Sentinel Radio's "Fightin' Words" (9-11pm ET). In part, that is to make sure we pay attention to this program and this week's guest. I repost this announcement from the Lady Libertas blog:

Truth & Liberty with Lady Libertas - 9-11pm ET...6-8pm PT
Join us and Call In! - 347-215-6929 - Patriot's Heart Network

Lady Libertas is joined by JoAnne Moretti - Patriot & Blogger Extraordinaire! JoAnne is well known on twitter as @joannemoretti and has a great blog: http://www.blogster.com/joannemor/.

JoAnne has done amazing research on the Gulf Oil Spill & that will be the main topic of the evening - What is the real story behind the gulf oil spill and how can we organize to help the Gulf region?

Check out Joanne's Bombshell Expose - The Real Reason the Oil Still Flows into the Gulf of Mexico

Then, remember to join us for "Fightin' Words" and "The Awakening," this Thursday night:

All Eyes on Israel, on Fightin' Words - 9-10pm ET...6-7pm PT
Hosts: Walter Hudson and David Lutchen - call in: 646-727-2652

What is it about Israel and the Jewish people that evokes such controversy and passion? Days before an Israeli interdiction which resulted in several deaths brought the wrath of the international community, down upon the small Middle Eastern nation, North Korea sunk an entire ship with comparatively little objection. How can such a desparity in reaction be explained?

ShoreBank & "High Road" Marxofascism, on The Awakening, Guest: Jean of We the People USA - 10pm-Midnight ET...7-9pm PT - Host: Arlen Williams

This is the Marxist/fascist plan for America, controlled through banking and "anarcho-syndicalist" governmental and union control. Does it seem authoritarian and anti-American? It is. Is that bad? Very.

Join Jean of We the People USA and read her article: "The Marxo-Fascist 'Social and Economic Justice' Ties that Bind" - ShoreBank, Obama, big labor, community organizers, manufacturers, Canadian socialists, progressive trade organizations, triple bottom-line corporations & the Small Business Administration, on the 'High Road' to the controlled society. (In Investigating Obama - LINK HERE)

We may also have a special guest, a small business owner who has suffered from the big squeeze put on the bourgeoisie by these Obamunist Marxists.

We will also discuss the Gulf crisis and whether there are even connections between this Chicago Marxofascist locus and Obama's actions and inactions, there.

Obama to Use Oil Spill Disaster to Renew Push for Cap & Trade - Manufactured Crisis, Domestic Terrorism by Default

Please read and heed; also the linked articles. There is no explanation for the Obama regime's delay and their managed withholding of efforts in response to their charge of protecting America and the world from this oil leak crisis, other than the neo-Marxist, Cloward-Piven strategy of manufactured crisis. They are not that inept, just, apparently, that criminally evil.

Why else would such a force for nationalizing and globalizing the American economy and society leave it up to BP plc (not only a private corporation, also foreign) to manage the response to this national and world crisis?

Who do they blame, as government regulations were not enforced and government "response" maliciously provides for greater harm? -- the "capitalists" involved.

What do they seek, as they prevent measures of remedy? -- anti-American "cap and trade."

Especially if Obama has no sufficient reason for preventing the berming of the Louisiana coastline, this behavior indicates domestic terrorism, on the part of the Obama Administration. - AW

Commentary by Sher Zieve

Almost as if it had been created for him, it seems that the BP oil spill couldn’t have come at a better time for Obama. Just when The Obama was cogitating over how to reintroduce the Energy Cap & Tax bill--which will skyrocket energy rates so that many of us will not be able to afford basic electricity--the BP oil spill occurred. This was most convenient for Obama and his plans to continue gutting the USA and its citizens.

Suffice it to say, if US and US-based oil companies had not been forced by environmentalists to drill at depths to which humans cannot safely travel, this would not have happened. If the spill had occurred at more human-friendly depths, the clean-up would have been much easier to handle and much faster to affect. And, why is Obama still dragging his sizeable feet in allowing Louisiana and the other Gulf Coast states to begin cleanup on their own? Governor Bobby Jindal (R-LA) begged Obama for weeks to allow the placement of berms (raised barrier separating two areas). Obama ignored the Governor. Even leftist James Carville--a resident of the State--begged his leader to assist with: “We’re dyin’ down here!“ Finally, on 3 June, Obama relented and said he would allow the placements to begin. But, even this has not happened yet. But, it now appears it may be too late as the famously beautiful and pristine Louisiana marshlands have already been glutted with oil. Native birds are now covered with the deadly blend, while Obama fiddled, golfed, went on vacation and attended a Paul McCartney concert. Nero would be proud.

However, Obama believes this will work to his advantage. He thinks he can and will--as he did with ObamaCare--shove Cap & Trade down our throats and virtually complete his enslavement of we the American people. Don’t let him do it folks. Call your Senators and Congress people, especially those up for reelection in November, and tell them NO CAP & TRADE OR YOU’RE OUT! Obama must have his power base removed. At this juncture it truly is Obama & Co vs. the American People. He cannot and must not be allowed to get away with his newest atrocity. It is We-the-People who must now decide who is to survive. I’m counting on us!

Open Letter to Obama, by a Doctor of Marine Science

by Dr. Carol Moreau at American Daughter

Re: Obama saying a "hurricane could be 'helpful' dispensing the oil in the Gulf."

Funny you should mention it ... I woke up this morning thinking about my college days (LONG ago!) when I learned about what I went on to teach, about oil spills. This spill in the Gulf IS particularly troubling to me, maybe because I "know too much". Saying that it is "the worst environmental accident in the US" is, I'm afraid, an understatement, because I can see it having global impacts ... none of them good. The type of oil spewing in the Gulf is "crude" composed mainly of hydrocarbons, sulpher, nitrogen, trace metals, and other components which all have potentially deadly effects.

The level of damage depends on three main factors. One is weather. Not only are we headed into temperatures in summer which have the worst potential effects, but hurricanes can be a major factor in spreading the damage, so NO, Mr. President, hurricanes do NOT "help" in any way. Maybe you would like to put it "out of sight, out of mind", but that ainna gonna work! The other two are specific biological effects, one being short-term, and the other long-term. The effects of this spill will not "go away" in either our lifetime, nor our grandchildren's. That REALLY pisses me off! Sorry about the graphics.

Short term biological effects cause direct kills at the site of the spill due to coating and asphyxiation, and contact poisoning. Away from the spill, water soluble toxins affect delicate larvae, and destroy these vulnerable food sources. Think about that.

Long term effects which are not necessarily "direct", but are secondary, include the destruction of sensitive juveniles and their food sources, reduced resistance to disease and other stresses, the ingestion of carcinogens (cancer-causing substances), and interference with reproduction. Egg production is reduced and behavioral mechanisms change, causing the inability to locate a mate, throwing spawning time out of sync. There are many long term subtle changes that cause chronic long-term biological damage. Chemical controls by metabolites (metabolic waste products) can't be sensed by veligers (immature free-swimming forms of many crustaceans, mollusks, and shellfish found in the water column). This will affect a myriad of species which humans depend upon for their livelihoods (food sources). Getting to spawning grounds is controlled by chemicals, as is predator avoidance for many species.

Factors that influence the impact of an oil spill include

1. the type or toxicity of the oil spilled (crude=horrible),
2. the volume spilled ... over 45 days and counting??? Go figure...
3. the physiography of the area which in this case includes waters a mile deep, as well as shorelines, tidal zones, mudflats, and many especially "sensitive" areas,
4. weather conditions at the time of the spill (and counting Mr. President!),
5. the life forms and community types in the area (how about ALL types?),
6. the season, with spring and summer bringing about the worst impact because of the abundance of larvae and reproduction rates being at their highest,
7. previous exposure of the area to oil which is "dumped" everyday by boats,
8. exposure to other pollutants which can combine with the oil and intensify the negative effects, and
9. how the spill is treated.

Some dispersants have effects which are worse than the oil itself. Have we been told what kind of dispersants were used? Do you, Mr. President, know about all the different dispersants available and which were used, and what their various effects might be? I don't think so! It appears to be a national secret at this point in time.

Once oil is released, some is dissipated by evaporation, some constituents go into solution, and some is absorbed onto particle surfaces and then carried to the bottom to be incorporated into the sediment. This is where MUCH of the Valdez oil still sits many years later and continues to impact the sediment dwellers, many of which form the bottoms of food chains. And oh yes, we put much of the Valdez oil there by "cleaning" the shores with high pressure sprays that forced the oil "out of sight, out of mind". Some is ingested by organisms including phytoplankton which ingest about 20% and form the bottom of food chains for organisms in the water column. Some get degraded by microbes, which is an aerobic process so increases oxygen demand. When I last checked, it took all the oxygen available in 350,000 gallons of water to degrade just one gallon of oil. How many gallons of oil have already spilled? The resulting lack of available oxygen in the water can lead to massive fish kills washing up on shore, just to mention one of MANY effects stemming from low oxygen levels in the water. Has this happened on any of our shores yet, Mr. President? Care to go for a swim or eat in the local seafood restaurants in Louisiana while you're visiting?

Ocean currents, both deep and surface, and all in between, will mix with the oil and carry it EVERYWHERE eventually. Even if we had a way to cap the leak today, it would continue to haunt us socially, biologically, economically, aesthetically, and yes, I get very emotional about it. I had hoped that in my retirement, I could "forget" about knowing such things, but I find no such relief. I could go on upsetting myself, thinking about what it will do to my favorite playground, the coral reefs, and knowing that it was a human-induced disaster makes me all the more frustrated at this situation and the state of the environment, and our President's lack of action has made this exponentially more disastrous by the minute.

Time to find some Kleenex...

Have You Seen this Man? - The Hunt for William Craig Fugate - Updated

How is it, we have a U.S. President who is taking over the United States' economy, but who leaves it up to BP plc (a foreign company) to fumble and stumble with this U.S. and World crisis?
More Alinsky-Cloward-Piven?

Original post, 6/1/2010

We repeat, his name is William Craig Fugate. This may be his photo. If he needs it, we are willing to give it back.

Mr. Fugate is believed to be the Administrator of the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under Barack Obama and Janet Napolitano.

Therefore, he might be seen either in the vicinity of Washington, D.C., or call it a hunch, the Gulf of Mexico.

Please report to Investigating Obama, if you have any word of his whereabouts or his doings. There appears to be an emergency in the Gulf that he should know about.

Where's Fugie?

Update - I'm getting some feedback that the Gulf Gusher may not be in Fugate's job descrip'. Now, I'm a small-government, federalist kind of guy, but shouldn't he sort of be preparing Gulf Coast folks for bad things that could come, over the next two or three months, if we pay him for that? And I am told we also have something called an "Environmental Protection Agency." Hm....

Update 2 - Did William Craig Fugate ever make it out to Tennessee, to check out all that flood stuff? Too busy collecting big, six or seven foot long, sealable plastic bins? America wants to know. Well, many who actually know about America.

Update 3 - 6/4, 2:33pm The beaches and estuaries are getting hit hard, today. Where is FEMA? Where is the massive government effort to guard the shores? Where are the berms? Is Obama enjoying his second trip?

And as for the news media, are you old enough to remember when they covered the space program well? Remember their models and scientists' explanations? Where is that, about the current attempt to cap and pump the gusher?

And about the space program back in the day, compared to government effectiveness now, you may wish to see, "The Chasm between Apollo and the Gulf; There is no valid analogy between the Gulf spill and Apollo 13," by Dr. H. Harrison Schmitt, former Apollo astronaut, former U.S. Senator, geologist. (h/t: Richard Wright)

Update 4 - 6/4, 3:53pm Barack Obama is on television, now. He's talking a lot. To the media, I mean. He does exhibit the Alinsky, Cloward-Piven model here, of blaming and haranguing BP, the latest "capitalist" straw man to "isolate," as the massive "disruption" continues. Never waste a good crisis.

Obama & Co. Oil Spill Disaster Day 44: Never Let a (another) Catastrophe go to Waste - Sher Zieve

Commentary by Sher Zieve

First, I'd like to get the logical and obvious out of the way. If the Marxist's feigned "environmental movement" (Obama's buds by the way) hadn't used their lobby and clout to block sensible drilling depths to oil companies, we wouldn't have had this problem in the first place. Russia, China, Brazil etc are allowed to drill — off the US coast I might add — at any shallow depth they choose. Oil is, then, easy to get. There may be oil spills but, they can be relatively easily stopped. US companies and those operating under the auspices of the USA cannot. They must drill at formerly inconceivable depths. In the case of the BP catastrophe, humans cannot brave the depths to which the Marxists-in-our-midst have forced this company and all other oil companies to drill. So, instead of utilizing any source of intelligence at all, Obama has now decided to suspend ALL off shore drilling for oil in the USA. This column is by no means an attempt to lessen British Petroleum's responsibility. But, it does address the primary culprits to the crime. And please do not forget, BP contributed more to Obama's campaign to take over the USA than they have to any other single candidate.

Obama had to be smiling broadly at the beginning of this disaster, as he was handed another way to destroy the country and people he swore to protect. He has also refused to allow the Gulf States to do anything to help themselves. Obama — as appears to be his inherent nature — has chosen to allow this massive destruction. Note: If Obama's mission of seek and destroy is not now evident to those who voted for him, it probably never will be and those people are doomed to be forever lost in their own mad fantastical worlds.

Although this calamity is said to be hurting the tyrant in a dramatic political way, he is still doing just-short-of-nothing to assist those who are being drastically affected by this tragedy. And, in his continuingly consistent — if not malicious — attempt to use any disaster (natural or ObamaMade) for and to his own advantage and purposes, The Obama is still refusing to allow Louisiana and the other States affected by the BP oil disaster to do anything to mitigate their damages. He has still refused to talk with Governor Jindal about Louisiana's helping to alleviate its severely growing problem. Obama doesn't care, folks. We're now seeing that unless it directly threatens him, Obama never will care about anything. Instead, he says the US Government is in control; that's the now infamous totalitarian ObamaGov that has — thus far — done nothing to lessen the spill's impact on the Gulf States and refuses to allow anyone else to do anything. In other words, Obama has adopted the attitude of "Let 'em all suffer or die." Note: Some have even suggested that Obama's non-caring and disconnect is largely due to these States having elected Republican Governors.

With a lacking-the-ability-or-desire-to-correct-anything Obama at the helm of our now careening ship of state — one that threatens to capsize at any moment — this is merely another example of his narcissism. He cares about himself and his mission to destroy our country. That's it. Instead of helping anyone or anything, Obama sends a group of lawyers — including the highly incompetent Eric Holder — to the Gulf Coast to begin a criminal lawsuit against BP. Yeah, that'll help. Sure it will.

By the way, any lawsuit should rightly be filed against the faux environmentalists who caused this, in the first place. Don't you think?
