As you know, the Deep Water Horizon has exploded in the Gulf of Mexico. It has been spewing oil from a ruptured wellpipe for over a month.
BP and the US Government has said they are trying everything possible to stop that multi million gallon oil from continuing to flow into the Gulf.
I am about to dispute that claim and offer an expose’ as to why that story about them doing everything possible is a lie and a profitable enterprise to those who would make money from this disaster.
The Top Kill method was started and suspended several times. It was being attempted only half heartedly. The reason is, there is no money to be made with a solution that simple.
The real money is in the use of dispersants.
There is a company called NALCO. They make water purification systems and chemical dispersants.
NALCO is based in Chicago with subsidiaries in Brazil, Russia, India, China and Indonesia.
NALCO is associated with UChicago Argonne program. UChicago Argonne received $164 million dollars in stimulus funds this past year. UChicago Argonne just added two new executives to their roster. One from NALCO. The other from the Ill. Dept of Educaution.
If you dig a little deeper you will find NALCO is also associated with Warren Buffett, Maurice Strong, Al Gore, Soros, Apollo, Blackstone, Goldman Sachs, Hathaway Berkshire.
Warren Buffet /Hathaway Berkshire increased their holdings in NALCO just last November. (Timing is everything).
The dispersant chemical is known as Corexit. What it does is hold the oil below the water’s surface. It is supposed to break up the spill into smaller pools. It is toxic and banned in Europe.
NALCO says they are using older and newer versions of Corexit in the Gulf.. (Why would you need a newer version, if the old one was fine?)
There is big money and even bigger players in this scam. While they are letting the oil blow wide open into the Gulf, the stakes and profit rise.
The Dolphins, Whales, Manatees, Sea Turtles and fish suffocate and die. The coastal regions, salt marshes, tourist attractions and the shore front properties are being destroyed, possibly permanently.The air quality is diminished. The Gulf of Mexico fishing industry is decimated.
All to create a need for their expensive and extremely profitable poison.
Some friends and I have compiled extensive articles and reports to support this claim.

BP Embraces Exxon’s Toxic Dispersant, Ignores Safer Alternative
It has been confirmed that the dispersal agent being used by BP and the government is Corexit 9500 , a solvent originally developed by Exxon and now manufactured by Nalco Holding Company of Naperville, IL. Their stock took a sharp jump, up more than 18% at its highest point of the day today, after it was announced that their product is the one being used in the Gulf. Nalco’s CEO, Erik Frywald, expressed their commitment to “helping the people and environment of the Gulf Coast recover as rapidly as possible.” It may be that the best way to help would be to remove their product from the fray. Take a look at some of the facts about Corexit 9500:
A report written by Anita George-Ares and James R. Clark for Exxon Biomedical Sciences, Inc. entitled “Acute Aquatic Toxicity of Three Corexit Products: An Overview ” states that “Corexit 9500, Corexit 9527, and Corexit 9580 have moderate toxicity to early life stages of fish, crustaceans and mollusks (LC50 or EC50 – 1.6 to 100 ppm*). It goes on to say that decreasing water temperatures in lab tests showed decreased toxicity, a lowered uptake of the dispersant. Unfortunately, we’re going to be seeing an increase in temperatures, not a decrease. Amongst the other caveats is that the study is species-specific, that other animals may be more severely affected, silver-sided fish amongst them.

An interesting cnn video on dispersants
http://edition.cnn.com/video/#/video/bestoftv/2010/06/08/cb.dangers.of.dispersants.cnn?iref=allsearch
They interviewed Kerry Kennedy who talked about being out at the GOM and feeling the symptoms, headaches, burning eyes, nausea despite wearing respirators. Sort of repeating earlier claims that cleanup workers were forbidden the use of respirators.
But the intriguing part is in the middle of the interview (around 2:00) she said that the average life-span of the cleanup workers on the Exxon spill in Alaska was only 51 years, and that all those people who worked on the cleanup in Alaska are now dead.

What the Spill Will Kill
It was in mid-May that independent scientists—not any of the officials or researchers working for any of the government agencies on scene at the Deepwater Horizon disaster, let alone BP—first detected the vast underwater plumes of crude oil spreading like Medusa’s locks from the out-of-control gusher in the Gulf of Mexico. BP immediately dismissed the reports, and in late May CEO Tony Hayward flatly declared “there aren’t any plumes,” stopping just short of accusing the scientists of misconduct. Federal officials called the scientists’ claim “misleading, premature and, in some cases, inaccurate.” Moreover, continued a statement from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, any oxygen depletion in the surrounding waters due to plumes is not “a source of concern at this time,” and critics blaming dispersants for the plumes had “no information” to stand on. NOAA administrator Jane Lubchenco, a respected oceanographer when President Obama tapped her to lead the agency, insists there are no plumes, only “anomalies”—though last week she acknowledged the possibility of oil beneath the surface.
Now it is increasingly clear that the initial reports of undersea oil were right, that life-giving oxygen in the water column is indeed being depleted, and that unless the laws of chemistry have been repealed, dispersants are likely worsening the tentacles of undersea crude. What might have been just another oil spill—albeit a bad one—has been transformed into something unprecedented. Even if the containment dome lowered into place late last week continues to siphon off some of the leaking crude, the Deepwater Horizon disaster will enter the record books not for how much but for where: an enormous release of crude oil not only onto vulnerable shorelines and fragile marshes but into the largely unexplored depths of the sea. The consequences for the delicate balance of existence in the vulnerable ecosystems of the gulf, and for the vast cycles of nature that sustain life there and beyond, are as incalculable as they are potentially devastating.
Dr. Lubchenco unfortunately appears to be relying more on assertion than science in her out-of-hand dismissal of the plumes and their potential dangers. This is telling, and it could be extremely embarrassing if the outcome foreseen in the Newsweek article turns out to be close to the truth.
I have yet to see any real evidence from direct studies on the toxicity of the oil:dispersant mixture, compared, for example, to each component separately. What is the physical nature of that dispersed oil down there? I assume we’ll find out more as some careful observations are (finally being) done. Here’s my guess: it’s not “dissolved” oil, in the sense of a molecularly dispersed water:oil solution. Oil is simply too insoluble in water. It is unlikely to be very fine droplets in suspension, or one should see turbidity or opalescence in the samples: what’s been reported is that the samples are “clear.” So that leaves detergent:oil micelles as the likely culprit, where the detergent is of course the (proprietary) sulfonate hydrocarbon in the Corexit. The micelles are a small glob of oil packaged in a coat of anionic sulfonate detergent, which keeps the oil phase suspended (as opposed to rising to the surface) and protected. For more on micelles, see here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micelles
The question that I have is whether in this packaged form the toxicity of the oil (and the detergent) is enhanced for the organisms that are exposed to it, and this includes the very bacteria we’re asking to clean up this mess for us. Wouldn’t it have been nice to have known about this before dumping a million gallons of one toxin in with another? I suppose we’ll find out. I hope Dr. L. would make an effort to find out too, asap, so that she can assume her proper role in defense of the public interest as opposed to being BP’s echo.

Now I know where you have been lately. This is great information. It is not a conspiracy theory after all - it is just a conspiracy. This is terrible!
I was just reading on one of the Democratic sites (DU) and they are talking about the ecological damage but they don’t know this information.
Here’s the important part:
One of them was talking about the wetlands in LA and that there was oil in the water, helicopters flew over during the night spraying something and that in the morning the oil on the surface was gone. That person said that if they dipped a white papertowel into the water it came out covered in oil. They also said that the dispersant causes red blood cells to burst. Just great.
bookmark
We can only hope another one will follow rapidly and then maybe even a third to drag all the oil back out into the sea where it will disperse on its own. It is hurricane season isn't it? And according to the global climate changers we are supposed get bashed with many more hurricanes due to man made global warming, right? Well where are all the hurricanes when we need them?
This is going to be bad for a really long time. At first I thought that their false-flag had gotten away from them, but that was before I read this information tonight. Now I wonder if they have a pre-arranged amount of time for the oil to flow or are they waiting for some kind of signal... I actually thought for the first couple of weeks that maybe the Russians were right and NK did it.
Convenient for Obama that it hit one of the areas of the country where he is least popular, and now a potential rival is in jeopardy of getting sick from those chemicals.
May G-d have mercy on us all.
I think one of the prettiest sounds on earth will be the sound of the cell door clanking shut on this arrogant, marxist muslim queer thug from Chicago.

Wow, great job putting that all together...looks like I have some studying to do!
BTTT
In case you missed this...
The association is based on the fact that Nalco is good at making money and the listed folks/groups are simply investors.
"Corexit, a highly toxic chemical
BS. It's biodegradable sufactant system, that causes the breakup of oil clumps into a denser fine particle system that is heavier than water.
