Senior EPA Analyst: “Government [Agencies] Have Been Sock Puppets for BP In This Cover Up”
I have previously noted that dispersants are being used to cover up the amount of oil spilled, and that they are making the effects of the oil spill worse. I have also pointed out that dispersant Corexit is extremely toxic to people. See this and this.
The senior policy analyst at the EPA’s Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response – and former the EPA ombudsman’s chief investigator – agrees, telling Democracy Now today:
Corexit is one of a number of dispersants, that are toxic, that are used to atomize the oil and force it down the water column so that it’s invisible to the eye. In this case, these dispersants were used in massive quantities, almost two million gallons so far, to hide the magnitude of the spill and save BP money. And the government—both EPA, NOAA, etc.—have been sock puppets for BP in this cover-up. Now, by hiding the amount of spill, BP is saving hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars in fines, and so, from day one, there was tremendous economic incentive to use these dispersants to hide the magnitude of the gusher that’s been going on for almost three months.
***
We have people, wildlife—we have dolphins that are hemorrhaging. People who work near it are hemorrhaging internally. And that’s what dispersants are supposed to do. EPA now is taking the position that they really don’t know how dangerous it is, even though if you read the label, it tells you how dangerous it is. And, for example, in the Exxon Valdez case, people who worked with dispersants, most of them are dead now. The average death age is around fifty. It’s very dangerous, and it’s an economic—it’s an economic protector of BP, not an environmental protector of the public.
***
Who saves money by using these toxic dispersants? Well, it’s BP. But then the next question—I’ve only seen one article that describes it—who owns BP? And I think when you look and see who owns BP, you find that it’s the majority ownership, a billion shares, is a company called BlackRock that was created, owned and run by a gentleman named Larry Fink. And Vanity Fair just did recently an article about Mr. Fink and his connections with Mr. Geithner, Mr. Summers and others in the administration. So I think what’s needed, we now know that there’s a cover-up. Dispersants are being used. Congress, at least three Congress folks—Congressman Markey, Congressman Nadler and Senator Mikulski—are on the case. And I think the media now has to follow the money, just as they did in Watergate, and tell the American people who’s getting money for poisoning the millions of people in the Gulf.
***
The sole purpose in the Gulf for dispersants is to keep a cover-up going for BP to try to hide the volume of oil that has been released and save them hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars of fines. That’s the purpose of using the dispersants, not to protect the public health or environment. Quite the opposite.
I have also previously pointed out the similarities between the government’s handling of 9/11 and the oil gusher. Kaufman gives some insight about the parallels:
[Question] You’ve made comparisons between Corexit, the use of Corexit and hiding BP’s liability, and what happened at Ground Zero after the attacks of September 11th, Hugh Kaufman.

[Kaufman] Yeah, I was one of the people who—well, I did. I did the ombudsman investigation on Ground Zero, where EPA made false statements about the safety of the air, which has since, of course, been proven to be false. Consequently, you have the heroes, the workers there, a large percentage of them are sick right now, not even ten years later, and most of them will die early because of respiratory problems, cancer, etc., because of EPA’s false statements.
And you’ve got the same thing going on in the Gulf, EPA administrators saying the same thing, that the air is safe and the water is safe. And the administrator misled Senator Mikulski on that issue in the hearings you talked about. And basically, the problem is dispersants mixed with oil and air pollution. EPA, like in 9/11—I did that investigation nine years ago—was not doing adequate and proper testing. Same thing with OSHA with the workers, they’re using mostly BP’s contractor. And BP’s contractor for doing air testing is the company that’s used by companies to prove they don’t have a problem.
Here’s a video of the interview:
And see this.
Note regarding the Exxon Valdez deaths. A test application of Corexit was used in the initial response to the Exxon Valdez oil spill. However, the full-scale use of Corexit was not approved (pages 56 & 69). The workers who were part of the test application, and those who subsequently worked in and around the test area, could have been exposed to Corexit.
Attorney Kerry Kennedy claimed on CNN that almost all of the cleanup crew working on the Exxon Valdez oil spill are now dead, and that the average life expectancy for an Exxon Valdez oil spill worker is around 51 years, 26.9 fewer years than the average American.

However, I wrote to toxicologist Dr. Ricki Ott – who has blown the whistle on the BP cleanup (see this and this), and who was present during the Valdez cleanup – to ask whether Kennedy’s statement was correct. I received the following reply from Dr. Ott’s personal assistant:
Ms. Kennedy was mistaken.
For more information, check www.rikiott.com/spillinfo.php . You will see that out of a workforce of 11,000, Exxon documented 6,722 cases of Upper Respiratory Illness. In 2003, a Yale grad student conducted a pilot study that showed roughly 1/3 of the sample, taken from the list of workers who reported URIs during the EVOS cleanup, reported lingering symptoms.There has been no epidemiology study, so no statistics exist as to the mortality rate of EVOS workers, to our knowledge.
I have no idea whether Kaufman and Kennedy know something that Ott doesn’t.

looks like us humans and creation..animals,sea life,earth are EXPENDABLE….ON THE EAST COAST OF FLA.WE ARE LOSING BIRDS NOW. WEST WINDS ARE HARD AIR TO BREATHE,THICK HEAVY,THEN FOLLOWED BY COUGHING,SNEEZING,FEVER,CHILLS ACHING JOINTS ALL OVER EXTREME TIREDNESS. PEOPLE…INVESTIGATE…AND PROTECT YOURSELVES.DONT BREATHE WEST WIND AIR.STAY INSIDE.KEEP PETS INSIDE. THANKU INTEL YOU INFORM US SHEEPLES AND TELL THE TRUTH…WATCHMEN ON OUR WALLS. MY DOVE IS CRYING UNUSUAL NOW,SHES A MOURNING DOVE,.THERES A FAMILY OF THEM IN MY GARDEN.GOING TO GO CHECK ON THEM.HAVNT SEEN THEM IN 3 DAYS.
And yet Al Qaeda is labeled terrorist??? The terrorists in this country is the whole entity we call Washington!!! Time to have every state suceed from the Federal Government, or Revolution!! If people can’t realize that we are being slaughtered and killed slowly by our own government, then they are the weak minded that don’t need to exist!
I have “something” here, that you’all might WANT TO KNOW! And this way, most anyone can track the contents, of the BP GUSHER. There’s plenty of hard evidence, of the gas methane. And, due to the deeep bore, there’s also plenty of evidence, of traces of uranium & thorium. Maybe not enough, to warrant people giving up there boats & ships, but enough, to “keep an eye on”, via radiological devices & equipment. This way, bp can use all the corexit they want, & the oil/tarballs, can be easily tracked, where ever, it goes…..
Now, I’m SURE, that oceanagraphic institutions & geologists already know & use this technique. Never mind, the use of depth finders. All this, just pisses me off, & this is the ONLY WAY, I know how to give ‘some’ back! If you know, of unique & remarkable ways, please “give”! As it’s really up to, we the people, now. Especially after I read the article, about the (lol) cover-up! (There’s always a ‘new one’, eh?)
Please remember, this isn’t, “regular crude oil”. It actually comes from a
mud/oil volcano. There’s just to much hard evidence! Here’s a link, IF, you’ve never seen one, at least, above the ocean;

And oh, b.t.w. If you’re having aches & pains, due to the BP GUSHER, try taking a couple of teaspoons of green clay. Baking soda & epsom salt baths, work great too! The herb cilantro, is well known for “chelating heavy metals”.
The green clay, is also very well known, for ridding the body of heavy metals & toxins as well. Youtube, has a few videos, about the “radioactive oil”, if you want to know more….
Oh w0w, I just found a whole slew of’em @ E-Bay! Of course, there’s always a retired geologist living nearby. Never mind all the schools & colleges, that have such equipment.
Infact, for anyone, who lives on the eastern coasts, I’d bet that they’d have no problem getting their oil & tarball samples tested. And, never have to go to the “payed off scientists”, at all!
Rather sad that there are not intelligent people making the important decisions about issues in the world, particularly this issue of the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. As one somewhat remote from the scene, one has the impression, assuming this article to be correct,that it would seem that the morality in operation is on the level of certain animals,together with profit paralysis.What is more important the shareholders or the world environment, which ultimately affects the shareholders anyway? Technically they are obviously learning as they are going along and this is very difficult for them to handle the pr.and the economic and technical confidence in the companies involved.
Sobering to think that when people die, there Genetic code memory and personality, are automatically put on record. Science -fiction? Well in this line of argument there is no escape, all will be called to account.There are much more sophisticated levels of intelligence in other solar systems.
I live in this mess. I have a pond behind my house. It used to be full of turtles, snakes, birds, ducks, some fish. Now, there is nothing. There are no birds in my yard. The truth of this tragedy is fully known by Ovomit and his crew. But they do nothing. They allow BP to continue the lies, and more destruction of our environment and country. I personally invite him and his family to come visit for a full two week vacation or longer. He can stay free at my house. Instead he goes the opposite direction, yet his wife tells our country to go visit the gulf states for vacation. Lying racists they are. I have been getting sick, and will be moving. I can’t sell my house, so Ovomit can have it.
We should have nuke bp months ago
Al Bushomma is killing you people
Be proud, the British won
Military should have shot the planes down
Oh sorry were fighting the British war in Iraq to steal oil
How f—– can f—– get
NUKE BRITAIN YOU TRAITORS
we cant nuke uk. so were just depressed. not one bp service station has been trashed. where are the anti globalists now? probably collecting their psyop checks from the banksters. obamas birth certificate, palestinian flotillas, and anti mexican rally’s are all controlled opposition hobbies for suckers. this bp op is potentially the end of
life on earth for a generation. political scientists call this overload. people are stunned like a deer in the headlights moments before they become roadkill. heaven help us.
Corexit serves more purposes than just protecting Bp’s bottom line. It is also a biological weapon for the Illuminati eugenics agenda (population reduction) as well as a catalyst for the Puppet in Chief’s Cap and Trade/Carbon tax bill passage which will completely turn America into a the third world nation they are attempting to turn us into. Whoever does not belong to Jesus Christ will literally be slaves of the New World Order (Novus Ordo Seclurom..) elite. That is, those who are allowed to live based on their ability to work and pay taxes to support their “hosts” (i.e inbred parasites who call themselves “elite”). In addtion to the above info on Larry Fink, it is also noteworthy that the Rothschild clan owns 70% of the stocks of BP. The Rothschilds are the Lucifer worshiping banking family that owns 1/2 of the worlds total wealth and resources and has fomented every war and funded both sides for the past two hundred years. They are the ones that brought us the illegal “Federal Reserve” bank and oppress our working class and cause nations to “hate their enemies” rather than love them as Christ commanded because they get rich of continual war. They are the ones who stir up stife and turmoil by using false flag events like 9-11 and this recent Gulf of Mexico planned disaster via bribery of a select few to cause people to focus on a faux enemy such as Al CIAda, or “democrats vs. republicans” or “blacks vs. whites” etc., when it’s really the government puppets who are bribed by the Rothschilds behind the whole mess. The Rothshilds (white Europeans) created the NAACP around 1930 in order to divide the people racially. The create all these divisive groups because that’s how they conquer us: by dividing us! If you don’t believe me, read this and you will understand perfectly why we are in the mess we are in: http://www.pakalertpress.com/2010/07/19/house-of-rothschild-no-one-can-understand-what-has-happened-to-the-planet-without-reading-this/

The only good way to hold the EPA, or the FAA, or the FCC (name your lettered agency,) to abide by the point of law is to hold these people INDIVIDUALLY LIABLE for the lies they tell…
Americans have but lone last short window to protect what they have built. Not that we deserve it, but we c an demand a referendum whereupon a vote of “No Confidence” enables us to replace/ re-assign every single employee of the US Gov. to a sit in a different role, and likely as not at the mercy of their prior subordinates.
“Referendum” –remember that ONE simple term, as they are tightening the shackles around your feet, grandma!!
