BP and Gov't Friends

BP and Gov't Friends

Facing possible jail time, British Petroleum and their bed mates, Halliburton, are hiring high-powered law firms with ties to the Department of Justice and the White House. However, both BP and Halliburton are using other means to defend themselves.

Halliburton’s campaign conributions have sky-rocketed to certain members of Congress since the disaster in the Gulf. In May, Halliburton donated $17,000 which made it the most they have donated since September of 2008. Now get this….13 of the 14 Congressmen receiving them were REPUBLICANS and seven went to those who are on committees with oversight of the disaster.

Crimes of Big Oil and Gov't

Crimes of Big Oil and Gov't

Evidently, through the years, the Oil companies and the Minerals Management Office that was to review and issue drilling permits for off shore drilling slept in the same bed. There are reports that Oil companies such as British Petroleum and Exxon threw lavish parties of all kinds, including sex parties for the MMO staff and supervisors.

Also, when it came to issuing permits and detailing the ways it was going to be done, oil company executives would fill in all of the required items in pencil as if THEY were MMO staff and then give the paperwork back to the Office where MMO would copy it in ink and then sign off on the permit.

Funeral Protests

Funeral Protests

It is absolutely sickening how the extremist “Christian” Westboro Baptist Church travels around the country tormenting the mourners of those servicemen who are killed. They holler and scream, do everything they can to disrupt the funeral service, hold up derogatory signs such as “Semper Fi Fags” and “Thank God for Dead Soldiers”.

Like many in this country, I was not a supporter of King George when he attacked Iraq. However, it is totally outrageous that these individuals would disrespect those brave men and women for obeying orders. The problem is NOT the military…the problem lies in Washington D.C. with their misguided concepts and beliefs.

Freedom from Religion

Freedom from Religion

Looks like a Federal Judge in Wisconsin, U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb, has ruled that the government sponsored “National Day of Prayer” is unconstitutional.And boy, does this have the right-wing religious extremists upset!

In the super religious south, better know as the “Bible Belt”…you could hear the wailing of the “offended” Christians. One was quoted as saying, “forgive us Lord Jesus” and then stating that “It’s time for the body of Christ to wake up, and for Jews and Hindus and Muslims…to wake up and defend their religious freedoms!

Freedom Fight for Christians?

We all knew this was going to come at some point in the future. Arizona passed a law to enforce Federal laws! It is against the law to be in Arizona illegally. If you are an illegal “day laborer”…you will be arrested for soliciting for work.

Arizona has over 450,000 illegals…and the drain on the American taxpayer is outrageous! The get free medical, are able to get drivers licenses, and their offspring are granted full rights as U.S. citizens. Which means they are able to receive Food stamps, accommodations and money for transportation.

Birth of Christianity

Birth of Christianity

Christians believe their Christian religious sect began with the birth of Christ (which wasn’t his real name). However, it goes back a little further than that.

One day, a woman was out in a field trying to hunt and dig up things to feed their family. Her husband was busy trying to maintain control of a herd of goats nearby. As the man walked close to a big pile of rocks, he heard a voice, and the voice said to him, “hey, I want to speak to you for a couple of minutes”.

The man turned around and looked. He couldn’t see ANYBODY! Then the voice said again, ” Did you hear me? I said I want to speak to you!” Again the man looked all around and didn’t see a thing, and he said out loud, “Yes, I can hear you, but I can’t see you..are you behind the pile of rocks?”

Government control of Women

Government control of Women

Too many individuals refuse to address wrongful government interference in our lives. By keeping quiet on certain subjects only empowers those who wish to control every aspect of our lives. I am not one of those individuals.

The only individuals who are not against the government control of a woman and her body are those of the extreme religious persuasion, mainly Republicans.

In Florida, the Republican dominated Senate and House tried to pass a law making an abortion a criminal offense. They were wanting to be able to file criminal charges against any female who aborted a fetus for ANY reason! If a woman was impregnated by rape, incest or whatever..she could have criminal charges filed against her. They also want ANY female, before she has an abortion for ANY reason, to view an ultrasound.

Christianity

Christianity

Christianity is such an amazing belief by those who who “believe”…For instance, when Haiti was almost destroyed by an earthquake, the evangelicals, led by their leader Pat Robertson, said God did it to wipe out those who practiced Vudoo. Screw the missionaries..let me kill them off..

Goodbye Euro

Goodbye Euro

I was watching the President of British Petroleum (BP) on a recent televised interview concerning the massive disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. He reminded me of Simon on American Idol and all of the other pompous Brits on American TV.

Then I thought back on British history…they have ALWAYS been like that. If there is a gene for arrogance and ignorance…these people have it. BP stated, through a network of BIG oil lackeys that they would have the massive disaster “under control” as soon as possible. No time limit or even a hint of one. Then I think that some Brit in the past, when the British empire started heading south, told the King of England that they would get the uprising “under control”. When the local population in what is now known as Zimbabwe (formally Rhodesia) told the Brits, “screw you”…some guy told the Queen they would have the situation “under control”.

Israeli Terrorism

Israeli Terrorism

Does the Israeli terrorist attack on the AID ships in International waters really come as a surprise? Israel has always believed they are above international law and are free to do whatever they wish.

If the United States hadn’t been so snuggly in bed with Israel and their outlaw behavior, September 11 would have never taken place.

I guarantee you, that if the Somali pirates had done the exact same thing, countries around the world, led by the U.S., would have sent big time response militarily. However, since it was Israel…the U.S. government will give them a free pass…as always.

Israeli Attack

Israeli Attack

The latest bunch of crap coming from Israel is that the ships of humanitarian aid were loaded with guns and ammunition. You know why they are now saying this? because most of the world knows that the attack was to prevent and humanitarian aid to Gaza.

The United Nations is demanding an explanation! (because we wanted to) The European Union wants an explanation for this vicious attack that left 16 peace activists murdered. (because we needed practice)

Turkey states that Israel will have to suffer the consequences for their actions. Yep, the U.S. will send a few more Billion in Military aid. The reality, is that nothing…absolutely nothing will come out of it…except funerals for 16 individuals.

The Israelis will scour around and “produce” weapons in an attempt to satisfy the world community..but everyone knows better. But will the world communities actually do anything more than be bobble heads ? In fact, these are the same tactics that a well known German used in the thirties.

Bobbleheads

Bobbleheads

Does anyone REALLY believe the Israeli version of their terrorist attack? Does anybody REALLY believe they didn’t know what was on those ships? Now, remember that Israel has one of the best spy and undercover networks of ANY country…and they didn’t know what those ships were carrying?

Israel defends itself by stating that the troops they sent (commandos) were so poorly equipped and poorly trained because they didn’t want a violent confrontation. THAT is so ridiculous that only true bobble heads will believe it! And you know…I bet 40% of Americans will actually believe it!

Israeli Garbage

Israeli Garbage

Totally amazing on the amount of garbage that spews out of the mouth of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu! And the world is supposed to believe him.

His statement, “Israel is facing an attack of international hypocrisy” Is garbage..He knows that he has the United States in his hip pocket and that he can and will do every and anything he wants without fear of retaliation because his big brother Uncle Sam will protect him.

Israeli Garbage II

Israeli Garbage II

The humanitarian supply ship, the Rachel Corrie was boarded by Israel. Now if anyone can remember, Rachel Corrie was the young Christian woman murdered by the Israelis by running her over with a bull dozer.

The Rachel Corrie was loaded with aid such as wheel chairs, medical supplies, food…personal hygiene things…and absolutely NOTHING that could cause harm to any citizen of the “jewish State”… and Israel knew it. The whole concept of seizing these ships carrying humanitarian aid is to further slowly exterminate the citizens of Gaza. Nothing more.

The oil disaster in the Gulf is really a tragedy…it is far more than an “oil spill”. A spill is one thing…like, “did you spill a cup of coffee?”.
