It’s been labeled the worst environmental disaster in world history, and rightfully so, because the British Petroleum (BP) oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is like the nightmarish gift that keeps on giving. BP and the United States government would have the public believe that all is well in the Gulf. Nothing could be further from the truth. The crisis is not only ongoing; its effects are worsening

The April 20, 2010 the Deep Water Horizon Explosion will be back in the news again. The explosion of this oil rig represents the biggest false flag event in history; the devastation of this false flag event is still being felt and the worst is yet to come. You may have heard about the explosions near the New Madrid Fault and the thousands of generators being shipped to Louisiana by FEMA. Soon all readers of this series will connect the BP oil spill to these recent current events.

Over 34 months later, the oil spill has destroyed the welfare, livelihoods, health and futures of tens of millions of Gulf Coast residents, not to mention the destruction of the fragile ecology in the Gulf of Mexico.

Originally, BP was ordered to initiate $20 billion in restitution to the Gulf Coast victims. In retrospect, BP has never made full restitution to the victims. The overall physical health of the region has been decimated and the mainstream media and government officials reaching as high as President Obama have been complicit in covering up the geological and medical magnitude of the event. Even to this day, BP is still covertly carpet bombing Corexit in the Gulf and the much of the environmental catastrophe remains untouched by the BP cleanup crews.

This new series will expose the fact that BP, Halliburton, Goldman Sachs, Transocean and David Rockefeller’s and the Queen of England’s New York City for Profit members had foreknowledge and hedged their stock market bets in anticipation of the event. In other words, I will present incontrovertible evidence that this event was planned in order to achieve multiple goals in order to further agenda of certain special interests. Further, this series will also expose the fact that the evidence complied from the Executive Filings of President Obama indicates that it is likely that he had foreknowledge of the impending catastrophe in the Gulf. Additionally, this series will demonstrate that the events in the Gulf are part of a regional depopulation scheme. Readers will also learn that the ongoing nature of this false flag event will contribute to the total transition of the American economy to a cap-and-trade system which has been championed by Obama and Valerie Jarrett, from several years ago, which culminated in Obama, a supposed outsider, capturing the Presidency with very little political experience.

Starting at the beginning, it was clear that BP was going to be used as the symbolic fall guy in order to usher a new set of dynamics to the Gulf. However, the powers that be provided BP with a “soft landing” with regard to the potential punitive actions brought against BP.

Every story has a beginning, so let’s review how, what will prove to be the biggest false flag event in the history of our country, unfolded.

Destitution Rather Than Restitution

You remember Ken Feinberg, don’t you? This is the same Ken Feinberg who was in charge of denying medical coverage to 9/11 first responders, which resulted in the premature deaths of many of 9/11′s first responders because of the lack of sufficient medical treatment from claims denied by him. As you read the following paragraphs, you will be shocked as to how history has been allowed to repeat itself.

BP has shamelessly used the event to falsely promote its generosity toward the residents of the Gulf by providing full restitution for tiny minority of residents, thus restoring its public image in the mind of the average American couch potato who believes everything they see on television.

Following the Gulf oil spill, there was a collective mainstream media frenzy which focused on how well BP was responding to the crisis. This was accompanied by BP’s incessant public service announcements in which the oil giant would feature one of their “average” employees professing to being a “local” in which they vowed, on behalf of BP, “to not leave until we make it right.”

All Is Well, Go Back To Sleep American Sheep

Is all well in the Gulf today? After 34 months, did BP make it right? There are two answers to this question, no and hell no! According to BP’s YouTube channel, BP has made complete restitution to the victims of the oil spill and all is indeed well and the American public should be willing to move on to other issues and forget about the Gulf.

BP’s YouTube video channel does make a compelling case that the Gulf is well on its way to a full recovery. Bryan and Brooke Zar, the owners of Restaurant des Families located in Crown Point Louisiana, claim that BP restored their restaurant to a level of profitability just in time for the 2011 spring break vacation period and that “the beaches are again clean”.

One guy I know thinks he has an answer. He said, "I'm gonna write that nigger a letter!"

Based on the assumption that said nigger can actually read and understand what is in the letter?

Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.

Them damn guidestones again---really?

They worry me because of one thing; there are people in positions of influence who would work their will upon the world if they could.

And, the responsible party (or parties) for the Guidestones had the full cooperation of the county where they're located and possibly the state. (Rubert Murdoch? Ted Turner?)

The folks who come to mind do indeed have global plans they'd implement if allowed to do so.

Of course. And he never wavered from a course of action in complete sympathy with BP's plight just as he would have as a dutiful United States Senator.

When in doubt he simply follows the rules he was taught in the House Of Lords, and they continue to serve him well. (In the view of corporate America, and who/what else matters?) He was not controversial (think: Al Sharpton, who may someday be the first man to be stabbed in the Senate cloakroom) and His Excellency never sponsored any blacknocentric legislation or any other nonsensical distractions from the business of America, which is business.

He is well steeped in the religion which proselytizes that "the gently regulated private sector is the better steward of our resources, and pay no attention to the missing mountain tops or where they pile the dirt, bubbling aquifers and/or streams that begin to fizz like Alka Seltzer...."

The Good People Of The Gulf have been written off. The poisoned oil; The lost industry that produced the loaves and fishes that fed the multitudes; The giant sinkhole formerly known as Louisiana; The Good People Of The Gulf are gator chow in the unspoken understanding between BP and His Excellency's Privy Council.

well, we're gonna have to watch the longevity figures of people who still live in the gulf and still eat seafood from the gulf.

if they all start dying off when they're kids, or if they're born with three eys and five legs, or if they start developing running sores that wont heal... well, then we'll know, wont we?

yup, it'll be the end of the world.

same with fukushima

.

meanwhile, i guess, we should acknowledge that people are human and they make mistakes... even big corporations like BP and exxon are run by people, and people make mistakes...

...but, if we insist on consuming so much oil, then we're gonna have to put up with these mistakes...

party on, dudes... it was great while it lasted, wasnt it? ...and we'll all be dead long before the party debris starts killing off humanity.

so... no worries, party on

connolly badgered me into extending my overseas tour for six months to go to japan, and i did it... then he badgered me into going to hiroshima for a weekend, and i did that, too.

typical marine excursion... we toured the bars of hiroshima.

we wound up with this japanese guy, geeky-looking guy, apologetic about his english, which was horrible, and we wandered the early morning streets in the entertainment district, he's pointing out geisha houses and trying to tell us some story about a mysterious japanese lady, beautiful lady, tragic lady in some way i never fathomed... and i never quite figured out if she was a geisha or not...

but it was a magical sort of night, full of mystery and great drunken attempts to communicate...

later we went to the hiroshima memorial, and read the remarks there in the log book, remarks from other vacationing marines, which mostly consisted of stuff like, "served those jap bastards right!"

made me proud to be an american, especially since we didnt run into any holocaust survivors with three eyes

some kind of big trees all around, a firing squad hidden back there somewhere, doing a however-many-gun salute, and collier cried... connolly lost a tail rotor spraying strawberries

i didnt cry, didnt feel much of anything, but at the wake in the bar, i announced to the marine/air america buddies that i was getting a divorce... i'd been thinking about it for a while

later, my ex-wife said i was the sanest man she knew, maybe because she knew she was infertile

.

this bullshit story has gotten me to thinking about dead friends, and thinking about dead friends pisses me off

The gulf crisis and Fukushima are both teetering and either could destroy enough life to make the GA Guidesones hope for a greater than 80% reduction of people a reality.

Fuk to be sure is a potentially extinction grade event.

I'll let you know in ten years.

If we aren't all dead from accumulated radiation poisoning by then.

The recent leaking of the NOAA charts showing how much of the West has been blanketed with Cesium does not make for cheery reading.

And yes, the PTB want this to continue which is why mitigation in the Gulf and at Fuckishima have been intentionally ineffective.

Indigenous Land: Canada’s Toxic Storehouse

In the news today we often hear stories about indigenous communities setting up blockades to protest government policies and to protect their lands, rights, and traditions.

In reading statements these communities issue to the public, we can see that they’re standing on the edge of an abyss: expected to remain silent while corporations (with the governments full consent) destroy everything they hold sacred and everything that makes them unique.

The corporations proceed without remorse or regard for the People they impact. They just want to get at the “free resources.”

In turn, the People say they have no choice but to try and stop it–and indeed they don’t, because their inaction would mean accepting a death brought on by men who sleep a little too well at night.

That said, we’re halfway through 200, and so far this year, we’ve seen more than 5 dozen protests, roadblocks and countless lawsuits brought forward in defense of Indigneous lands and rights. The number will continue to rise as long as the federal and provincial governments refuse to uphold their legal mandate by engaging in meaningful consultations with Indigenous People – and in so doing, respecting their right to say no, and their right to live in peace with their cultures, lands and traditions intact.

"I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it." - William S Burroughs

Table Lighters Collector's Guide: table-lighters.blogspot.c.../ronson-waldorf-1936.html

Excerpt: "The Ronson Waldorf was first manufactured in 1936 in Newark, N.J., USA. There are two versions of this table lighter. The first was produced between 1936–1937 and the second, which is less scarce, between 1950–1952 (see picture). Both versions used the Ronson Adonis fitment.

This wick lighter is quite heavy – it is made of "white metal" which is silver-plated. The base is padded with green felt. The lighter base has an oval shape and its leitmotiv is a band of leaves."

Wow! Not only is it Exquisite with a capital "E" and practical, it's a historical collector's item of sorts as well, Made in America even. You guys are great treasure hunters. :)

I don't see it mentioned here as part of the set consisting of a matching tray and cigarette holder but it's an intriguing find and looks early American. I've heard that Paul Revere was a silversmith. Could be it's one of his designings.

Wikipedia describes his workmanship as quite a bit more versatile than that. Your finding is bell shaped and the linked data says that beginning in 1792 "he became one of America's best-known bell casters, working with sons Paul Jr. and Joseph Warren Revere in the firm Paul Revere & Sons. This firm cast the first bell made in Boston and ultimately produced hundreds of bells, a number of which remain in operation to this day.[90]"

On a sidenote, it also mentions there that he commanded artillery units in the Revolutionary Army and "participated in the taking of Bank's Island, from which artillery batteries could reach the British ships anchored before Fort George. He next oversaw the transport of the guns from Bank's Island to a new position on the heights of the Bagaduce Peninsula that commanded the fort.[77]"

I just thought that was very interesting.
