Ironic that a chemical far more toxic than oil is being used to hide the oil. More than ironic, it's criminal as well. I wouldn't be surprised if we find later that some component of Corexit stores silently in the fat cells of fish, and winds up killing many of those eating that fish. Sad and tragic in so many ways.

This the equivalent of burning a corpse to hide evidence of a rape and murder.

Remember, the billionaires play a different game. "He who dies with the most toys wins."

There is no care for anyone but themselves. They will lie, bribe, steal; whatever it takes to maximize their profits and minimize any penalties.

Exoon's strategy was to stall any settlements until the claimants were dead. It pretty well worked, along with the bought judiciary reducing their fines to peanuts.

I'm sure we'll see the same thing in the Gulf. BP will bribe and lie, and will be largely excused by the bought judiciary, so there will be only a small negative effect on the corporation. Congress will wring its hands, emote, then shut up and take the corporate bribes authorized by the Supreme Court.

The area they have destroyed, the people they have poisoned, will receive the absolute minimum the courts will allow.

The drilling will go on, the payoffs and bribes will go on, the profits will go on. The people, the ecosystem, and possibly all of us will sicken and die, if this stuff kills the phytoplankton that provides the earth with the majority of its Oxygen.

As to the Plutocrats? "He who dies with the most toys wins."

Thank you for posting this very important interview. Those pictures of the crabs trying to get away from the water tells it all.

I hope Kaufman's position within EPA will be protected by Sen. Mulkowsky and the Whistleblower Law when EPA tries to fire him for speaking out.

Next: Will clips from Kaufman's interview now be run on MSM news broadcasts...?

Don't count on it.

The fact that EPA told them to stop useing that stuff and they did not, shows that our Goverment has nothing to do with this. Apparently B.P. owns the Gulf of Mexico not us ! Our President is a coward and his rsponse to this is worse than Bushes failure at Katrina !

Fascistic British Petroleum aided and abetted by Obama. Heck of a job, corporate fluffer for fascism.

Not only will these toxins get into the fish, shrimp, crab and other seafood, they're going to get into people. That's the plan, this is what you call POPULATION CONTROL.

Many would claim that its corporate profit motives that allow vicious crimes to be committed against humanity and the environment. Others see it as too big of a coincidence. They are poisoning the public to control population, and create a sub-intelligent pleb class.

You can be careful what you eat, but the water you drink and the air you breathe are likely polluted on the east coast. Corexit vaporizes into the air and 2MILLION gallons have been dispersed on the U.S. including agriculture land in the mid-west. Small amounts of poison doesn't show up right away, but that's why the country has soaring cancer rates from all of our other poisoned landscapes. Its the hidden death, a lot cleaner than mustard gas.

These monster rouge oil companies are destroying the whole world. The Niger delta is gone from "rusted out oil pipelines" that nobody has any intention of repairing or decommissioning. Out here in the Western Pacific Typhoons created huge oil slicks by crashing tankers into each other. It's not on any news except the news on these little Islands!

These oil slicks may be bigger than the Exxon Valdez and there's no news on it!

I think Oil CEO's are competing with each other to see who can kill more people. The winner gets Billions in Bonuses.

What seems like a long time ago I was walking around Seattle thinking about how beautiful the area was for the Tribes around 500 to 1000 years ago.

Price of a home, 0. Price of food, 0. Price of clothing, 0.
Taxes, 0. Destruction of the earth as close to 0 as possible.

You have achieved.

Life is good. What an experience! It's always best to forgive.

The presidential office, whoever the incumbent, is a window dresser for the ongoing destruction of the biosphere, by human civilization.

This can happen faster or slower, depending on how extreme is the technology employed. Drilling in the oceans is extreme. The deepwater horizon disaster has been a sequence of inappropriate technology applied with corrupt incompetance from approvals, to aggressive procedures with ignored safety precautions, to every inappropriate practice, capping it off with the response to the explosion and continued gushing of hydrocarbons. The use of this weapon of mass destruction so close to the USA is a direct terror attack on the health and lives of the people of the USA

All we got as a disaster response was continued lies about the extent of leakage, inappropriate cleanup methods and lack of cleanup worker protection. BP continued to spread toxic Corexit after being specifically told not to by the EPA. From the government and its agencies there has been lots of mutual finger pointing, about which scape-goat to sack first. The response of BP has been more concerned with future legal liabilities, and its improvisatory response indicates that practical methods of containing the gusher did not exist prior to the disaster.

The recent legal limitation of damage claims by either time or money, done specifically to encourage accident prone drilling, is the sickest joke. More care would have been taken if oil companies got the message that punitive reparations would match the kind, quantity and duration of all inflicted direct and indirect damage.

In all of this I must remember that BP is a typical fossil fuel corporation, and not an exception. In the usual aggressive spirit of USA foriegn policy, the response to such severe environmental terrorism, should be collective punishment, sanctions, and invasion of each of the fossil fuel companies in turn, starting for instance, with Shell.

In keep with the standard US practiced response to terror offenders, a special prison needs to be built on the coastal area with the worst oil spillage, and all fossil fuel executives and their families should be imprisoned in it. To keep America safe from oil terror, they and their children should be tortured, to force the confessions of truth and reveal the names of their accomplices. All prisoner food, such that can still be grown, is to be supplied locally. A menu specialty should be the freshly cooked wildlife fried in its own oil.

A BP whistleblower? Oh, oh...won't be long now before the Attorney General goes after him for terrorism or industrial espionage or endagering the welfare BP or treason or something.

Maybe as as lethal as the worst type of dengue fever. The instructions that come with Corexit 9500 states that it has not been tested for toxicity.
