BP is using highly toxic chemicals in the Gulf; Food Crops Threatened

As I’m sure many of you have, I’ve been following the situation in the gulf as closely as I can. There is no certainty on any one subject, due to the closely guarded cover-up by BP and the Feds. We do not know how much oil is leaking, how much has leaked, whether to trust the live feeds or not (still haven’t met anyone that didn’t claim to be looking at a looped feed), how much damage is now or will be done, etc, etc, etc.
There have been many theories fabricated as a result, as people try and come to terms with what’s going on. Some claim the entire spill is a hoax, a fake, being used as an excuse for a future relocation of the locals. Still others claim that the leak is entirely unstoppable, and that we’ve hit a virtual “oil volcano,” which may actually erupt as the leaking floor corrodes away, causing a collapse of the sea floor. The result of such an event would be a large, toxic oil tsunami.
I personally believe that it is something entirely different.
If you’ve followed this event closely, you already know about the oil eating microbes discovered some two decades ago. They can be mass produced and dumped into the oil, consuming it into a harmless waste product, which can actually be beneficial to the ocean life. Despite this capability, BP has been dumping dispersants, which are actually more toxic than oil. Over 1,000,000 gallons thus far.

Even beyond this, I would hope you’re aware of the new, unknown corrosion occurring on many plants in the south, which seems to be causing white “burn” holes. That being said, I have my own theory, at least with what’s occurring on land. The dispersants, and the chemically altered “dispersed” oil have volatile properties, allowing them to evaporate off the surface of the water. Some of the chemicals are saturating into rain clouds, and redistributing onto land as falling rain. It may also be possible that trace amounts of the toxins are being picked up into the air and carrying far inland, poisoning various creatures, including plants, that ingest them. (I suppose its just as likely that chemicals are being dispersed by aerosol, deliberately, but that’s a hard pill to swallow)

British Petroleum has openly admitted that they have used at least 1,021,000 gallons of dispersant in the Gulf of Mexico. The same chemicals that have been banned in the UK for over ten years! The active ingredient in this pesticide is a known neurotoxin that is acutely toxic to both human and aquatic life, causes cancer, and causes damage to internal organs such as the liver and kidneys simply by absorbing it through the skin and may even cause reproductive side effects.

This is absolutely ridiculous. BP is openly using a toxic chemical against the United States! These chemicals alone have the very real possibility of causing a massive evacuations and the EPA KNOWS that these chemicals are highly toxic. The EPA and British Petroleum are knowingly causing this oil spill to be potentially one hundred times worse and are participating it what can only be described as a chemical attack on the Gulf region.
“Corexit has also earned the highest EPA warning label for toxicity which means the effects of the toxic chemicals to the eye are corrosive resulting in irreversible destruction of ocular tissue and other tissue with corneal involvement along with an burning that can persist for more than 21 days and effects to human skin are corrosive resulting in tissue destruction into the dermis and/or scarring.” (Source)
The main ingredient of Corexit is 2-Butoxyethanol, which is known to cause human health problems that can affect everything from the liver, the central nervous system, and the kidneys. It is also known to be toxic to the blood!
At one time, massive evacuations seemed far fetched but at this point it seems almost locked in stone. The people in the Gulf will not be able to continue living an area where deadly chemicals are being dispersed. British Petrolum, which has known ties to groups such as the Bilderbergs, and the Trilateral Commission seems to be intent on not only destroying the gulf but potentially harming millions of American citizens.

yawn lol thought i would do a little trolling of my own.lol
good post and on the right track
