Fishing Industry in Gulf Still Worried About Levels of Toxins in the Water and the Impact on Marine Life
check out the transcript and/or webcast of this program.
the basic accusation here follows on the kind of information that was provided a few posts above this one. the oil is present, mixed with dispersants. it's not difficult to find. there is no mystery about what's happening. fishermen know what's happening. anyone who's there, seemingly, knows. but for some reason the infotainment coming from the bp/federal government combine seems to be alot more---o i dunno---goofy optimistic about things.
you'd almost think that the locals who see in this stream of infotainment a setting up of the ole cut-and-run are right.
and if that's not what's being set up, it's quite difficult to imagine what possible function could be getting served by acting as though a quite catastrophic situation simply doesn't exist.
except of course that no-one knows extent or magnitude or impact.
but it feels like we're being fed a line of shit.
kinda like shell and the nigerian government fed the un a line of shit in the report that's due out in december which essentially blames local people stealing oil for "90%" of the oil in the niger river delta
Outrage at UN decision to exonerate Shell for oil pollution in Niger delta | Environment | The Guardian
this flying in the face of information gathered over many years from non-governmental, non-royal dutch shell sources.
go figure.
