Greg Palast on Why We Occupy

A must watch speech by Greg Palast. He covers many subjects. A classic sleuth, he uncovers the filth that is the now the norm. From oil spills, to quake-fail nuclear reactors, to vultures, to Occupy Wall Street , he covers the latest events of 2011.

Luke Rudkowski at Bilderberg 2011 Switzerland and a rehello!

REHELLO FROM MONTEREY COUNTY

Hi once again. I do apologize for disappearing off the face of blogspot. I've found work in Monterey County and have been busy working and getting myself settled in. The weather has been cloudy, windy, and somewhat rainy the month that I've been here. I've been told it's not normal for this time of the year to be so cold and rainy. I must say it's been quite a change from the normally sunny and warm weather of Southern California. I definitely do plan on hitting the coast of Monterey on a bike! It's going to be fun.

So there's that Fukushima nuclear thing going on. Isn't it amazing how they kept the acknowledgement of three complete nuclear meltdowns away from the public? They knew what happened exactly in the first first few hours after the earthquake and tsunami. Computer simulations and experienced nuclear engineer told them exactly what was going to happen. Yet they went the Three Stooges route and tried to pretend that everything was fixable and went ahead with hail marys which they knew would fail because they knew that meltdowns and melt-thrus has already occured. Is it a surprise that TEPCO tried to protect their reactors so much so that they delayed pumping seawater into them? It comes as no surprise that BP would do the same with their oil platform. <== I can't find that article that had the the minute by minute by account of the events told by an eyewitness escapee that jumped the burning platform. He included numerous observations, including those which would have prevented the blowout at numerous stages of the accident. There were numerous times when buttons on the control panel should have been pressed and were not, which would've destructively closed off the path of the oil. Instead they decided on saving their investment until it was too late.

Gas prices are slowly climbing back down. No $200 a barrel oil. Keep voting those same politicians in so their paymasters keep yanking everyone's chain and treat everyone as a mat.

Congratulations Thomas Sheridan on his great success so far with his book on the subject of psychopaths. I've bought the book from Amazon, and I have yet to read it. I just finished listening to this interview with Fintan Dunne.

Lastly, here's a video of Luke Rudkowski braving the dark side at the Bilderberg 2011 summit in Switzerland.

Greg Palast: More on Oil Spills, Etc

Same venue, next day. Greg Palast speeches to the crowd gathered outside at the Fighting Bob Fest 2010. The material is 90% the same as the previous speech the day before. Btw, I can say speeches since we've had a President that's made up words.

Greg Palast: BP, Exxon, and Chevron Oil Spills and Chills

Greg Palast gives a wonderful speech at Fighting Bob Fest 2010. His investigations take us to Alaska, to the Gulf of Mexico and to the Amazon and the disasters that big oil has created in each of those regions. There's a few more investigations on some other topics. Might I add there's some comedy mixed in.

Don't you dare dig on the beach!

Not sure if there was already a law prohibiting digging on a public national park beach before the oil spill. But why would it be illegal at the other beach too? So at what point do we declare tyranny under fascism alive and well?

BP cost cutting pattern - Refinery blowout killed 15

CONNECT THE DOTS

These are not random disasters. There's a reason why they happen. There's a cause. They're man made.

BP's oil refinery blowout and fire in Texas killed 15 in March 2005 due to deep cost cutting measures. Old equipment was not replaced as recommended by internal auditors.

These executives and rich shareholders will keep going until the end with their profit maximization schemes. They can't help it. They're greedy psychopaths. They need to be stopped by sane adults, but aren't. Only when something really catastrophic occurs, that which effects millions of people, does public sentiment change. Only then are these plots, hatched by greedy executives and shareholders, finally curtailed.

Here's a report on PBS's NewsHour program on the incident and a followup report by the government citing negligence on BP's part.

BP Oil Spill: The Lies and Deception of a Corporation

IMMUNITY AND IMPUNITY

Today we'll connect the dots from Alaska, to Nigeria, to the Gulf of Mexico. The common denominator? The product, oil, and the connection of the producer to the consumer.

It's time to recognize the behavior patterns by corporations. What they are they consistently allowed to get away with?

This oil spill event is a good opportunity to focus in all the little moving parts. How and why did it happen? Why does it continue to keep happening?

We give them a pass because they need to make extraordinary profits to make the shareholders happy. Else the shareholders start complaining like a really old, rusty, wheelbarrow.

In turn, we want the product on the cheap and we want it guilt-free. Please mainstream media, reinforce the idea that nothing bad is going on, so that I have a clean conscious, so that I don't have to do anything, and I can go about my merry way.

These corporations and executives will only do it, if they can get away with it.

Riki Ott, PhD in marine biology, is the author of Not One Drop. BP is carefully removing carcasses of dead animals in the dead of the night. They are also not allowing any video devices that can take a record of the evidence.

BP Oil Spill: Birds Up Close

BIRDS EYE VIEW

We're seeing first hand how corporations behave in mist of ourselves. We the stockholders demand unhindered, maximized profits. Externalize the costs, internalize the profits. Tony Hayward's only doing what the pensioners and 401k mutual funds have asked of him. Let's stop blaming the politicians and executives.

Here's reporting from the ground (in this case water) of the birds affected by the BP oil spill.

BP Oil Spill - Just what size is it?

I CAN'T BELIEVE I SPEWED THE WHOLE THING

Here's information on just how big the BP oil spill is estimated to be. It's a lot bigger than what everyone's been told!

The Birds of the BP Oil Spill

IT'S FOR THE BIRDS

The oil spill claims a large number of birds. Here is some graphic footage.

Maybe paying double for energy from solar or wind isn't such a bad idea after all? Use less oil? Buy fewer things? Travel using less fuel? Just because you can, should you?

Are any BP executives going to prison? Will the investors see a smaller dividend or no dividend? As it stands now, a billion dollar dividend will be handed out.

Is this a classic case of psychopathy to keep allowing deregulation and not to punish those who've manipulated the system with bribes?

BP ARCO GAS
