Here’s what the Iraq War Crime was really all about…
Rumaila is simply huge; by some measures it is the third largest reserve of crude oil on the planet, and is currently extracting 100 million dollars worth of oil every day
To recap:
There were no “Weapons of Mass Destrucion.”
There were no “Saddam ties to Al Qaeda.”
Those were lies.
There was plenty of valuable oil.
That’s the truth.
Destroyed an area of sea floor “bigger than the state of Connecticut.”
BP stooge:
“Extensive sampling and rigorous chemical analysis has shown that the only significant concentrations of Macondo oil that were found in sediments in the offshore environment were found in the vicinity of the wellhead,”
As for BP’s claim that oil stayed near the well, that has “been fairly well dismissed,” he adds. Last year, a team published evidence that a “plume” of hydrocarbons from the Macondo well contaminated about 1,200 square miles (3,200 square kilometers) of ocean floor.
Gulf of Mexico, Deepwater Horizon
If fascism is the merger of corporations and state, then this is iron clad, unholy fascism, and nothing beside–
“There was CIA involvement through a company called Mega Oil. They were shipping in arms under the cover of oil tools.”
…CIA, MI6 and British Petroleum engineered a coup d’état, overthrowing a nation’s elected president who was “not favorable to BP.” The corporation’s former vice president, Leslie Abrahams … was working for BP, he was also an operative for MI6, British intelligence.
Question: Why in the world was BP allowed to use this insanely dangerous “quick-dry” cement just after a failure in the Caspian? Answer: A cover-up—via threats, beatings, arrests, bribery, perjury and the complicity of the U.S. State Department.
I learned of the prior blowout only because of a coded message from the Caspian Sea received from one very nervous eyewitness.
And should be prosecuted criminally, if the US government wasn’t the most corrupt institution on the face of the earth.
In similar news: Brazil bars Chevron and other oil executives from leaving, choosing to prosecute them criminally for an oil spill off the coast of their country.
Also, British Petroleum covered up a similar oil rig blowout in the Caspian Sea two years before it destroyed the Gulf of Mexico. Arrests don’t seem to be occurring.
Greg Palast for ecowatch.org. BP’s offshore blowout in the Caspian Sea was hidden from Congressional committee, and BP should be looked at with criminal charges in mind.
