The boom. It's just for show. This link explains it all.
Edited on Thu May-20-10 11:14 PM by readmoreoften
In the second half of the video, a booming expert explains why this whole operation is a joke, and why the Coast Guard is complicit.

edited to warn: this video has lots of angry swearing and profanity.

1. I love her rant.
And the diagrams.

Lot's of use of the word "fuck", but appropriate to the situation.

Recommended.

3. K&R!
That was excellent! She is really pissed!

These Coast Guard fucks are traitors now. They are covering for a foreign company as BP destroys this fragile ecosystem.

6. G^%$#$ W$%^&&*&^ ^@#%% #^^%#
The Coast Guard is complicit?

A guy from the coast guard was on Rachel the day or so after the spill.
She asked him a question re: the condition of the rig survivors or working conditions.
Anyway the Coast Guard guy said something like "we take care of our employees."
At the time I wondered why he said "OUR" employees?

12. I'm going to send this to Rachel. I hope everyone else does too.

Wow. Just wow. I just learned more about booming then I ever imagined I would.

And the level of incompetence is simply staggering.

13. I normally detest gratuitous cursing.
I still do actually, but that wasn't gratuitous at all in spite of the sheer amount of it. Every single fucking word was justified, and then some. Brilliant video, just brilliant.

15. All that is being done is a PR exercise.

The government is being entirely subservient to BP, just as it was to the healthcare industry, just as it is to the finance industry. Capitalism naked and triumphant.

20. Everyone should watch this. Righteous.
And it gives you a quick training on what to look for in booming shots. You can tell when it's done correctly and incorrectly.

21. This really does explain it all....
boyz make the mess and the girls are to clean it up, but these boyz don't hire girls.

Wow.

I'm starting to think that men who have anything to do w/ oil shouldn't be allowed out into the world. They're just too willfully destructive.

25. I have a pretty good idea of what the intent is.
Edited on Fri May-21-10 11:13 PM by RandomThoughts
It would be the same as the story about circuit breakers on wall street article, talking about trying to stop good fixing things, instead of the bad problems in the system. Same way they were talking about more booms like they think they can outspend the metaphor for booms.

So in the same way instead of stopping the corruption they are trying to go after good by reports of leaving the oil out there. In there mind leaving corruption is their thought of a way to out spend any attempt by good to do anything, it is the same thing when they drag out legislation until opposition gets quiet, they are thinking they wait out good with something like more corruption, or black oil. They are thinking in low level thought based on money concepts when doing that.

My guess is they are in money frame of mind, and think good is limited, thinking they can make it spend resources, that is a money way of thinking and good's only restriction is the choice to protect free will. So good actions and thoughts can not be out spent, because it doesn't work like that, love has no limitations.

It is probably a mind set thing. Also many of them probably think in terms of aliens and mind radio beams also, so they are messed up by some beliefs in false doctrines also. And I don't think it is the White House, more likely older group loyalty types.

Although as metaphor, most doctrines have some truth and some false in them, depends what parts you think on. I think many times things are said certain ways so certain groups can understand better within the context of their thought.
