Jesus, what a sad, ugly mess. The whole planet will look like this eventually. I heard a report on this Friday, fast drying cement used to save money. I don't even want to live in a world like this run by a few powerful evil men.

What will happen is, even if the information is spread VERY publicly, the government will just make statements about protecting the price of gas at the pumps, even though they've been rising for no reason for some time now. The public, fearful of huge dollar sized increases, will be happy to ignore blatant illegalities if it means the gas remains relatively cheap. The oil execs will make out like bandits, government flunkies will get pay outs, and the killing will never stop.

Disinformation: See the film showing it was hit by some sort of beam weapon. One can see the cutout rectangular pattern in the platform not possible by an explosion. See: Was A Beam Weapon Used On The Deep Water Horizon? on you tube.

Secure phone? Bit of a reach there mate, unless you have military standard equipment, and even then they have back doors left in for signals intelligence to access.

Greg Palast is a weird guy, but he is a damn good journalist!

The video is shocking enough, but what's even more shocking is the comments, such as from neilemec, in which he accuses Greg Palast of "using" witnesses as pawns! Perhaps neilemec is insane, perhaps he lacks the necessary comprehension to ascertain the difference between Palast asking permission of witnesses to give solid testimony against BP versus that of BP which USED those same employees as PAWNS in their efforts to cover up a conspiracy and avoid future prosecution (albeit unlikely)

It was to gain support for cap and trade, as soon as it failed they ended the spill.

There's a war on regarding "whistle-blowers." The ones involved with this story were my immediate concern, as well. Why 'facelikedog' should have his/her statement negated here makes me wonder who among us would be taken aback by his expectation. Am quite sure those "witnesses" were used as pawns by our revered GP; then a footnote by the renown journalist copped in his story. But we are all pawns in the deadly pollution sourced from the "hide & seek" games of the petro-chemical industry. OCCUUPY
