Wise words to live by...

“If we are faithful to our country, if we acquiesce, with good will, in the decisions of the majority, and the nation moves in mass in the same direction, although it may not be that which every individual thinks best, we have nothing to fear from any quarter."” Thomas Jefferson

Wise words to live by...

“Our land-holders, too, like theirs, retaining indeed the title and stewardship of estates called theirs but held really in trust for the treasury, must wander, like theirs, in foreign countries, and be contented with penury, obscurity, exile, and the glory of the nation. This example reads to us the salutary lesson, that private fortunes are destroyed by public as well as by private extravagances. And this is the tendency of all human governments.” Thomas Jefferson

Good News – BP says there is no oil leaking, so far…

So far so good. The welcome news from BP is met with high anxiety. Is it really fixed or is there a fracture below the sea floor that could be slowly leaking and making it’s way up. BP is constantly testing pressures and so far it appears the cap is holding and no leaks …

New Disturbing Video: About the effects from the oil disaster.

This is what I had predicted months ago. Now it appears that BP is going out of it’s way to suppress the images of the destruction they have caused. Little needs to be said about this, just watch the video. Day 59: Marine Biologist Riki Ott exposes BP’s cover up of human illness, and how animals are being removed by …

Oil Spill: Box O’ Truisms

BP oil spill – An Australian perspective

June 8, 2010 started out like any normal day for me. I woke up, organised the family for the day ahead, and went to work.  It was not long after I arrived at work that my view of the world, and my trust in the ‘powers that be’ took a major blow.  Sitting at …

Out of sight, out of mind. BP’s dispersant is an ecological doomsday…

It is sad when you think about what BP’s “quick fix” has done, and is still doing, to the Gulf. I am not talking about the the leak disaster itself or any of their failed attempts at stopping it. I am talking about the strategy they employed to deal with it. History will show when all …

The Worst Villain In Deepwater Horizon Explosion

Here’s a surprise for you: BP is not the Worst Villain in the Deepwater Horizon explosion and sinking. Nor is the US government to blame for allowing “evil, mean, and nasty” offshore drilling.
