fake "20 billion dollar fund" and Ken Feinberg they could get the media off of both Obama's and BP's backs. They also threw in the Coast Guard to do BP's bidding. The CG sprayed the Corexit to sink the oil to the bottom, out of sight, from their big transport planes. They also stood at the podium with Feinberg and parroted what he said after the well was capped. 2 days after capping the well, Feinberg and the head of the CG said they couldn't find anymore oil, just 2 days after capping the well!
The MSM has not been reporting the facts, in fact, they have not been reporting ANYTHING!!!

and the BP claims center turned me down for no reason. Called the Justice Department and was told to submit my claim to the Coast Guard because they had received a chunk of the settlement money. After dealing with them for months, they finally called me and turned me down. I asked why and they couldn't tell me. In fact, the claims person at the Coast Guard kept saying to hold on and it shouldn't be long before my claim would be paid. Yeah, right. There were several businesses that also submitted their claim to the Coast Guard and no one that I know received a dime. I think the process was to wear us out. My business that I ownedb for over a decade went under. I haven't given up. I'm now in one of the lawsuits.
