BP Knew About Bad Cement - The Daily Beast

BP Knew About Bad Cement - The Daily Beast:

"Maybe BP’s new CEO ought to walk back his comments blaming the media for the frenzy over the Gulf oil spill: Both BP and Halliburton knew that the cement they used to seal the Deepwater Horizon well was unstable, but they used it anyway, according to the presidential commission investigating the disaster. Halliburton had conducted three tests on the cement, all of which showed that it was below industry standards; the results of at least one of those tests were presented to BP. The lead investigator, Fred Bartlit Jr., said that had the cement worked properly, there would not have been an accident.

Furious Growth and Cost Cuts Led To BP Accidents Past and Present - ProPublica

Furious Growth and Cost Cuts Led To BP Accidents Past and Present - ProPublica:

"A ProPublica and PBS FRONTLINE investigation. “The Spill [1],” a PBS FRONTLINE documentary drawn from this reporting, airs tonight. Check local listings. [2]

Jeanne Pascal turned on her TV April 21 to see a towering spindle of black smoke slithering into the sky from an oil platform on the oceanic expanse of the Gulf of Mexico. For hours she sat, transfixed on an overstuffed couch in her Seattle home, her feelings shifting from shock to anger.

Pascal, a career Environmental Protection Agency attorney only seven weeks into her retirement, knew as much as anyone in the federal government about BP, the company that owned the well. She understood in an instant what it would take others months to grasp: In BP’s 15-year quest to compete with the world’s biggest oil companies, its managers had become deaf to risk and systematically gambled with safety at hundreds of facilities and with thousands of employees’ lives.

“God, they just don’t learn,” she remembers thinking.

Just weeks before the explosion, President Obama had announced a historic expansion of deep-water drilling in the Gulf, where BP held the majority of the drilling leases. The administration considered the environmental record of drilling companies in the Gulf to be excellent. It didn’t ask questions about BP, and it didn’t consider that the company’s long record of safety violations and environmental accidents might be important, according to Carol Browner, the White House environmental adviser.

No Evidence Gulf Oil Spill Killed Fish, Says NOAA | CNSnews.com

No Evidence Gulf Oil Spill Killed Fish, Says NOAA | CNSnews.com:

"(CNSNews.com) – There is no evidence the Deep Water Horizon oil spill killed any fish, according to federal and state officials overseeing the oil cleanup, while captured commercial fish passed testing by multiple government agencies. But even with plenty of fish in the sea, the fishing industry in the Gulf of Mexico is still suffering from a big perception problem.

“In federal waters, I can tell you, there haven’t been any fish kills reported that are linked to the oil spill,” Christine Patrick, spokeswoman for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) told CNSNews.com. “I know there have been fish kills reported in state waters, but I think they have determined they weren’t a result of the oil spill.”

Rocky Kistner: Six Months Later, an Oil Disaster Spreads Across the Gulf

Rocky Kistner: Six Months Later, an Oil Disaster Spreads Across the Gulf:

"For six months, I have lived and worked near ground zero of the worst oil disaster in US history. I've traveled on boats hunting thick, reddish peanut butter-colored crude that slowly washed towards the coastal marshes of southern Louisiana. I watched tough, resourceful people of the bayou weep at the sight of the oily tide invading precious fishing grounds.

Rocky Kistner: Feeling Abandoned, Gulf Coast Residents Issue A Call To Arms

Rocky Kistner: Feeling Abandoned, Gulf Coast Residents Issue A Call To Arms: "As the six-month anniversary of the worst American maritime oil disaster approaches, people along the Gulf coast continue to struggle with its aftermath. Many feel uncertain about their future and abandoned by the media and politicians focused on their election campaigns this fall.

So in early October, local community groups and environmental organizations decided it was time to join together and come up with a plan that calls attention to the ongoing environmental, economic and public health threat posed by 200 million gallons of BP crude that still threatens America's greatest fishing ground and life sustaining delta estuary.

Censored Gulf news: Kindra Arnesen. Skin barrier gone but not sprayers (video) - National Human Rights | Examiner.com: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"

Kindra Arnesen in her most recent interview has presented a comprehensive view of the Gulf crime against humanity, along with graphic detail of her poisoning and skin condition. She explains that the peoples' natural skin barrier is gone, but not the black ops spraying poison on the people.

The courageous young mother from Venice, Louisiana who became a celebrity by speaking out on behalf of Gulf coast fishermen at the first Emergency Gulf Summit, criticizing the media black-out of the Gulf atrocities, continues trying to defend human rights of the people of the Gulf.

On June 20th, the Examiner reported that Arnesen exposed that 60-Minutes filmed and aired documentation about truth in the Gulf Coast area but the program was pulled from the internet within 24 hours. (Dupre, D., La emergency summit fisher wife slams media black-out (video), Examiner, June 20, 2010)

Arnesen told Project Gulf Impact that she had gone into panic mode earlier in the Gulf catastrophe when she realized how lethal the crude and Corexit are. She then tried with all of her might to get people to relocate, knowing if they stayed, they would suffer more. (See: Dupre, D. Gulf news: 'How do we get people to leave?' Kindra Arnesen on Intel Hub,

Then, she finally realized she could not convince people to leave and that nothing would stop the powers that be from poisoning the people. (See Arnesen in the PGI video below).

"Everybody" in Arnesen's Plaquemines Parish residential area is sick she said, estimating that 40 million people throughout the Gulf region are now poisoned.

"They might not all be sick now, but mark my words, they will be."
