Interview with anonymous BP cleanup worker, GRC Radio (South Carolina), September 30, 2010:

Spraying with no light at night...

The people on board thought the boat was on fire...

We kept smelling burnt wire, we didn't realize it was the smell of arsenic...

It's the chemicals that were being sprayed that left that smell. ...

Our lungs fill up with fluid, cant breathe... terrible, terrible headaches, skin lesions...

I want to live to see my granddaughter...

People we really need help...

Denied copy of own incident report...

We just want medical help...

3. Is it just me or does anyone else think that we're going to see a lot of
deaths and suffering that will be covered up by BP and possibly our government agencies?

Radiation experiments on our own troops after WWII...nothing to worry about
Agent Orange....nothing to worry about
Gulf War Syndrome....nothing to worry about
Ground Zero related deaths and illnesses.....nothing to worry about
Deepwater Horizon and its' aftermath...nothing to worry about
Corexit and exposure to petroleum based vapors and blobs of oil...well, you know the drill.

Deny, deny and deny until enough people are dead that the payouts are much less than they would have been if they were truthful from the beginning. SOP for corporations in solidarity with the government.

Excuse my language, but F*** the people allowing this to happen in 2010.

Oh...wait a minute, I forgot. The magical bacteria will save the people, the fish, the turtles, the marine mammals, the land animals and the the plant life in the GOM. Silly me...whatever was I thinking?

7. Some good news out just this past week (Though unrelated to the oil dispersant)
Edited on Sat Oct-02-10 11:57 PM by truedelphi
The CDC spokesperson issued a statement that there was NO evidence that the flu vaccines for pregnant women will pose a helath risk.

First time in a long time the CDC has been truthful.


And how is it that that statement is truthful?

Well, because the CDC has absolutely no evidence regarding what effects may occuer if you inject a large population of pregnant women with that vaccine.

SO IT CAN HONESTLY SAY THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT HEALTH RISKS WILL RESULT.

8. It's just like a painting.
The way that you frame it can make all the difference.

9. Isn't it true - the "framing" is everything
And in the case of the Political Workings, the framing affects people's nation of what is science!

Observable results and data now equals "anecdotal" (and therefore discardable) events.

5. This is horrifying.
It needs to be shouted from the rooftops.

Most people will never know about this, or about what really happened.

Recommended.

6. They're lucky that BP didn't arrest them for failure to disperse
Sadly, I'm only about 51% kidding.

K&R
