This is sad and tragic. I knew this BP disaster would no longer be news after awhile. It wrongfully fell off the radar all too soon. I knew after this happened that the Gulf would never be the same and many would die. That Corexit is killing many. It angers me to hear the BP commercials on the radio saying everything is fine and dandy in the Gulf and come on down. Yeah, right. I'll bet nobody will hear a thing about this when the 1 year anniversary comes around next month. BP will make sure that nothing is said. I knew BP wouldn't pay for the clean up worker's health care. No surprise there. This country doesn't give a shit what these oil companies and big corporations do to their own people. And that arrogant bastard BP CEO wants his life back?! What nerve! Give these people who are suffering THEIR lives back!

BP wanted to make it look like the spill "wasn't that bad" so they had clean up crews wearing no protective gear. (insane) Then after that, they shut out the media completely. BP could no longer hide the fact that it wasn't as bad as it seemed. It's a repeat of 9/11 when Giuliani and Christine Whitman told the 9/11 workers they didn't need to wear resperaters.

Jennifer, It seems we may have got off on a bad start here...
Let me start by saying: I do Not begrudge you or any others that helped with the clean-up... I have done asbestos and hazardous materials removal... The thing I know is: It's illegal to demand an employee wear a respirator without a PFT....
A PFT is a Pulmonary Function Test.... If they had made folks wear respirators, they would have had to pay for each employee's PFT. The reason for a PFT is this: If per chance your lungs are unable to function properly with a respirator and you fall over dead on the job. Your family would have profound reasons to sue said employer.
To be honest we are both upset, but from different venues, if you will.... It truly disgusts me what the corporates are doing!!! Always looking for the easy way out of anything.
I knew when the towers fell that all them well to do folks would end up sick sometime down the road, as they have.... I knew the gov't would pretend NOTHING was wrong... I even laughed out loud when I saw them folks with the paper masks.
Many firefighters must take an annual PFT. They do not however need to be up to snuff with AHERA certification.
Please understand I root for you and whomever else may fall ill by the "Overlooking" of the laws that are in place for the safety of employees.
A little bit of my own history. I used to work for a company that screenprinted on glass. Sounds Harmless. But When I received my ink, it was always in powder format. I then had to add a solvent to make the ink pliable for screenprinting. The glass was then fired and out comes a sheet of glass with an ink texture that is unbreakable. Kinda like a Rolling Rock or Corona beer bottle. The ink is a finely powdered glass... Additions to the ink be it cadmium or even gold give the final ink color... Many reds are with Gold magnesium, many blues are with cadmium.
I was working at that company for about a year... I was really starting to feel very depressed, so I went to see a shrink. They did every test imaginable, but could find absolutely NOTHING wrong with me... So I asked if per chance it might be the ink I was using. I took a packet in and showed them. They immediately called my employer and demanded a blood test. I was 5 clicks from toxic on the range of lead and other heavy metals. It was soo bad that my blood had turned purple.
I could NOT sue my employer because what I had was called a NonTangible incident. In other words, it's not like I lost a limb... It took a couple years to work out of my system, but it was something I will never forget.
I doo wish you and others the best. It's sad how what you don't know can hurt you.

It is simple KB723.
Hierarchies, corporations included are set up to control from the top down. Orders are handed down from the top, and imposed on the layers below. All of the power is concentrated at the peak of the pyramid.
Democracy works in the opposite way. The power is diffused in the base of the pyramid. Anyone can become a leader, and anything can be done in a democracy. But, you must work from the bottom up.
If you want change, begin where you are at, with what you have, working with those around you. Many small bricks, gathered together can build very tall towers.

Let us get a life and stick to the facts that what we are fighting for People first. Nothing is said about the volunteers in japan that working for their people. How about our 911 fireman? How the life insurance being slashed for the workers settlement so the more worthy employer's family received multimillion dollar settlement and it has taken how many years for our 911 volunteers to be compensated how about Love canal they were Just working folk, Their sickness were Bad gene pool for the unfortunate souls.

this shows how easy the public is to control. The powers in charge know more then we can imagine and have everything planned out hundreds of years ahead. thanks to michael moore and the media we dont ask the questions of why wars disease and destruction happen on a regular basis we just think o stupid politicians or rulers.
for the time being i beleive because of superstitions that may or maynot be real the people in charge are trying to get to these goals of heaven hell. choas or order. they beleive that through power destruction and other weird magick inspired rituals they will become illuminated, immortal, or will bring their savior back. I dont know if god, or the afterlife exists but i do beleive other people do believe in these things so then how far would the people in charge go to get these results either apealling to god or satan (good vs. evil)... .
p.s. the belief in a afterlife to me seems selfish. you cant have something without nothing everything needs to be compared to its opposite. (cant have pleasure without pain)

Once again profits are the ONLY priority for BP. The lives of working people are insignificant compared to profits. The former CEO wants his life back. So he can kill other workers, and even if his oil is kept out of the biosphere it will still end up as pollution cutting all our lives short with global warming. Don't these idiots realise their children and grandchildren will be dealing with their greed for GENERATIONS as we clean up the planet. ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS MONEY.

O.K commie. Back in 1988 I met by chance a Russian gymnast that was competing in the good will games. He had wondered off his itinerary. I picked him up south of 2:30 in the morning. He had never seen a grocery store with full shelf's. Spoke Farly good English. He told me the difference between America's and Russian's. Russians walk down the street with head hanging low. American's smile, laugh, and and choose the direction of there life's path. He told me he would face bad penalty because he was not where he was aloud to go. As a gymnast he received the best Russia had to offer, as long as he excelled. In America every person he met has more than any Russian he knew . He had his eye on a fancy Adidas coat I was wearing. When I dropped him off the next morning I gave it to him, he cried.

O.K ?? okay fascist,, I suppose if you want to give names,, your example of the head hung low Russian gymnast from 1988 at 2:30 in the morning,,,,,, well sorry but I don't see the connection between that and removing the problem from our healthcare system for 350 million people by nationalizing (medicare for all) instead of the profit for a few based system we have now,,, nationalizing the natural resources that are already owned by the American people but controlled by corporate profit interest or nationalizing the big banks that are the root cause of our economic troubles today .....

We need to avoid exaggerating in our headlines, as has already been mentioned here several times. While a Current headline is most likely not a complete lie as so many of Fox's are, exaggerating is close too being untrue. .** My mouse accidentally voted against me.

I think the way to fight Fox is not to distort as they do but to have our facts as straight as possible. We need people to believe us and not them.

Exaggerating the headlines???? I was just down there, DUDE, and do know what the beaches look like? Did you know theres another oil "plume" floating off the coast AGAIN!!!!!!
People can't swim in the water, it makes them sick. 1 DAY, 1 SWIM, 1 TRIP TO THE E.R.
I don't think that headline was an exaggeration at all. Considering no one can eat oysters, crabs or shrimp or any fish, ANY SEAFOOD from the western part of the Gulf. Correxit and Crude oil are in the seafood. So do you want to reconsider your thoughts?
As a native New Orleanian and an Executive Chef don't embarrass yourself, with not knowing what is going on down there. Some of us love our home and make sure we know what's happening. Go learn something. - 2 years ago

Dusty, I posted the video. I have gone to the blog that I found the article, and I went to the Youtube page and heard that thousands of people are sick and dying. And some people are sick without even realizing that it's from the water.
I posted this video for people like yourself. The Gulf is my hometown, where I grew up. I know what's going on. My little brother went swimming THIS weekend, in the Gulf and had to get out of the water because he became red, itchy, and burning. Not from the Sun! Stay strong. I am spreading the word for you.

This is no different than the first responders that are dying from being at ground zero.
From a financial standpoint, it's much cheaper to pay wrongful death suits than it is to pay for medical treatment.
These people might want to check to see if BP has life insurance policies on them also.
Very sad, but not surprising in the slightest.

Has anyone seen that new BP commercial where they stated that everything was ok because they put forth all of they're efforts and fixed everything. Makes me wonder why we let so many blind and careless people have so much power.

I think you are missing a key point...
Fox News reports a bias representation of reality, just like CNN and MSNBC. A perspective. However, it's not about the articles, segments and commentary (although I would like to slap Glenn Beck)...it's about what we (the listeners) have to say about it. I watch MSNBC, but I also watch Fox too. Information is key. And the reason I say that is because we (liberals) can't defeat something or someone (conservatives) of whom we don't truely understand. The only reason Fox News has the ratings it does is because the people that watch it (conservatives) are gullible, while the rest of us watch/read other sources but we are too lazy to care enough to be taken-in by it, let alone act out against it.
Both are equally suspect.
Now that I said that, here is the point you're missing.
We (the readers/listeners/watchers) GIVE Current their credibility. We decide what is and is not 'worthy' news. If it doesn't represent what we want to see here, then we shoot it down...it's that simple. In this type of media environment, you can 'shoot the messenger'.

Even if one person (helping in the clean up efforts) has died due to the BP disaster, that would be a tragedy, but unless there is confirmed & verified documentation of "thousands dying" I don't like the sensationalist headline in this thread.
If we keep doing this, we're going to make Fox News look fair & balanced.

Of course, that is what people were saying about the ground zero first responders. This may just be the beginning.
But, you are right about the title of the article itself, alitle 'Foxish' or 'Dailey News'. :)

Hello, I am the one who posted this. If you actually go to the blog that I found this video, and you watch ALL of the videos of the people who posted on Youtube about this, you will hear the numbers. I can not do all of the research for everyone.
