BP is lying. Somebody is getting paid off. Probably Jindal and he is enforcing some kind of standard that is dangerous.

“Data (click here) we have seen thus far indicates that the environmental catastrophe that so many feared, perhaps understandably at the time, did not come to pass, and the Gulf is recovering faster than expected.  This is in large part due to the Gulf’s resilience, natural processes and the effectiveness of response and clean-up efforts mounted by BP under the direction of the federal government.

All the fisheries need to be closed. Tar balls are polluting the beaches and endangering health of human beings, otherwise known as citizens.

DO NOT EAT ANYTHING COMING OUT OF GULF FISHERIES. The quality is very substandard and dangerous.

THE BEACHES ARE NOT SAFE.  

This is the problem with the southern USA, the governors get the idea they are god and can dictate the outcomes of the people. Slavery never really disappeared from the south. This is an extension of it. The Po' Folks are lucky to be eatin' at all.
 
Environmental chemical (click here) contaminants and pesticides in fish pose a potential human health hazard. Fish can be harvested from waters that are contaminated by varying amounts of industrial chemicals, including heavy metals and pesticides. These contaminants may accumulate in fish at levels that can cause human health problems (e.g., carcinogenic and mutagenic effects). The hazard is most commonly associated with exposure over a prolonged period of time (chronic exposure). Illnesses related to a single exposure (one meal) are very rare....

The virtual fact petroleum is a chemical and has many chemicals that come to the surface by drilling there is danger to human health. The chemicals in the water are tar balls on the beaches. The fish or shell fish are feeding on the food chain established by the petroleum pollution. The simple fact that health and environmental exposures don't show up for a long time means BP has a very long timeline to their liability.

B/P is liable for all the pollution both immediate and chronic. The company will never see the $20 billion back in their coffers and they need to stop the manipulation of the information and public. There is DEFIANTLY going to be cancers that result from the BP Deep Horizon Disaster. I know that now.  The people have been exposed to the chemicals. Tar Balls are not toys. And then there is Corexit.

BP's employees running game for the company in the USA need to pack up and go home. They are endangering the lives of USA citizens by the propaganda they peddle. BP employees should not be there at all. The employees are endangering the lives of the people.

The claims process is compromised by the simple fact lawyers are suing anyone to attempt to get traction against BP. The process needs to be handed over to REPUTABLE lawyers and not so called officials that the people find UNTRUSTWORTHY.

The ex-FBI chief (click here) now serving as a watchdog over BP oil spill settlement claims is seeking dismissal of a lawsuit filed against him by an attorney once involved in the claims process.

Louis Freeh on Friday asked a federal court to dismiss a lawsuit filed by attorney Christine Reitano.

Reitano and her husband, Lionel Sutton III, both once worked for a court-supervised claims processing facility.

Sutton was among lawyers barred from handling claims from the 2010 oil spill after a judge found that they had acted unethically in connection with the claims process. The same judge, however, cleared Reitano in the matter. She sued Freeh in February....

Fire all of them. There needs to be an alternative. Lawyers have to be passed through ethics processes, both incoming and those removed from the process.

Table 9-1, “Environmental Chemical Contaminants and Pesticides Tolerance and Action Levels,” lists the tolerance and action levels that have been established for environmental chemical contaminants and pesticides in the edible portion of fish (wet weight)


This is just one article. There are plenty more that discusses the problems with petroleum chemicals and the environment causing disease in people. I probably should make myself available to the lawyers running the lawsuits. At least they would have some information and referrals to experts that can help them.

In reality? The US Department of Health should be hiring experts to send to the Gulf to INSURE the quality of life of the people caught in the middle of this disaster.

I have a family in need right now. But, I'll put together a brief letter and send it to the attorneys in Louisiana to offer help in supporting their claims. I don't' charge for services, unless it requires traveling. Any experts will have fees, but, I don't have control over that. I can referrals and the rest is up to the individuals involved. 

BP is probably sending in their own experts and they are compromising the FACTS with diluted ideas of "that would have happened anyway."  

My first instinct is the attorneys involved with the claims against BP to contact the federal government and ask for experts to come and clear up the problems they are having with BP. There are going to be long term problems both with citizen's health and the viability of the fish industry. Shrimp with cancers and partial shells ARE symptoms of the food chain full of toxins. There have been dolphins born that can't survive because of birth defects. The federal government needs to set up strict monitoring with the people along the Gulf. The country should be following them to find trends in illness, rashes and ultimately cancers to be sure it is caught as early as possible for treatment AND survival.

I can't believe there is this much corruption in this matter. These are human beings with children and livelihoods. BP has lost every case in the courts where they have been attempting to avoid responsibility. It is long over that they need to bring comfort to the people effected by this disaster.

Look, everyone should feel warm and fuzzy about BP, this is exactly how they treat their employees. Eleven dead, right?
