BP Gulf Update: how does the coast REALLY look?
BP is my friend. They really cleaned up our beaches better than before. I never liked those stinky fish and icky dolphins that would be in the water. Thank you for getting rid of them BP. Now I can enjoy going to the beach with the new orange dirt. Never liked that powdery white sand they had before. Have a wonderful day, BP

BP and the Coast Guard continue to “legally and liberally” use Corexit on the continuing leak from BP’s Macondo site. The well may not be leaking, but the seafloor around it sure is. Go here for more on that.

According to BP, everything is quite beautiful. Turns out they’ve been lying.
Many people living near the site of the BP oil spill have reported a long list of similar health problems.Just weeks after BP’s oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico began on April 20, 2010, Fritzi Presley knew something was very wrong with her health. Read the full post »

Obama White House Helped Cover Up Extent of BP Oil Spill
Source On April 22, 2010, as the doomed Deepwater Horizon oil rig was sinking off the Louisiana coast, a maritime expert told BP that its Macondo well would spew 82,000 barrels of crude a day into the Gulf of Mexico if nothing blocked the opening. At that moment, the U.S. government was trying to get BP to say how much oil might be flowing into the sea so officials could answer a crescendo of questions from the media and, more importantly, muster the proper equipment to plug the leak.

Oil continues to wash up in LA – BP lies about amount
A friend near the Gulf has been keeping us posted. Today (1.04.12) he writes,
“As promised, this is the oil that BP and Coast Guard acknowledge is in just one very small area; that’s several times greater than the 4 miles BP is reporting on it’s web page and FB page. If you look at the small map in the top left hand corner, it will give you an idea of what a small area is shown on the larger map. This is without addressing the barrier islands and tar mats that cover the bottom of our coast. Feel free to use and credit: Plaquemines Parish officials in Louisiana via the Coast Guard/BP. This was received Friday so it is the most up-to-date oil impact map.”
Here’s the link to BP’s dumb map where they claim only 4 miles left to be cleaned.
(pictured below)
BP wrote on their Facebook page:
“BP and crews originally surveyed more than 4,300 miles of Gulf Coast shoreline to look for oil impact; of those, 635 miles required treatment and 631 have been cleaned. Now, we are focused on actively cleaning the few remaining miles.”

Evidence shows Gulf oil spill caused widespread ecological damage
Published: Monday, November 7, 2011 at 7:23 p.m.
Excerpts:
Evidence is mounting that the BP Deepwater Horizon oil disaster caused wide-ranging ecological damage in the northern Gulf of Mexico.
Since the blown oil well spewed 186 million to 227 million gallons of crude into the Gulf last year, several species of fish have developed skin ulcers in what appears to be greater-than-normal numbers. Hundreds of dolphins — nearly 500 so far — have washed ashore dead, and fewer large migratory animals, such as whales sharks, have returned to their normal feeding grounds.
Meanwhile, layers of dead organic matter mixed with traces of oil remain on the ocean floor. Weathered crude also persists in marshes — some of it still thick, some hardly detectable, but harmful to fish. Read the full post »
