“We’re not just trying to kill everything in the Gulf of Mexico, but everything that flies over it as well”.<\/p>\n
Those are the words of the videographer, “Hurricane Creekkeeper John Wathen”, the man who made this video.\u00a0 He is associated with the Waterkeeper Alliance.\u00a0 Please spread this video\u00a0 around and make sure people see it. Even the most hardened oil fanatics might be stunned at the damage to everything this oil leak — still a gusher — is doing to the wildlife, the air, the marshes, the water.\u00a0 This is the biggest crime, or act of war, ever done to this country by anyone.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This video shows dolphins struggling and wildlife deaths towards the end — hundreds of dolphins and at least one whale, that are dying as they swim in the oil in the Gulf.\u00a0 Imagine their panic when they realize the sky is burning and the water, their habitat, has been totally poisoned.\u00a0 There is no where they can escape to.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s just heartbreaking to imagine what they must be going through.\u00a0 Dolphins\u00a0 and whales are very intelligent animals and they are suffering and dying for our oil addiction.\u00a0 This is BP, murdering dolphins, whales, pelicans and sharks and everything else in the Gulf that used to live and thrive there.\u00a0 They have used so much dispersant to break up the oil to cover their own butts it’s not even clear whether most of the oil can ever be collected.\u00a0 It must be harder and harder for even the cheerleaders of oil to justify the use of it,\u00a0 given how dangerous getting it has become.<\/p>\n
John Wathen says, “There has to be something better than putting all of this toxic smoke into the atmosphere”.\u00a0 He’s right.\u00a0 Why are they burning it, and why aren’t there ships collecting it to dispose of it?\u00a0 Because they want to sell it, and the price of oil is too low to make it worth BP’s while to actually collect it.\u00a0 Besides, if they did collect it, refine it and sell it, it would end up in the atmosphere anyway.\u00a0 That’s the life cycle of oil, polluting from the beginning to the end.<\/p>\n
In my opinion, this oil “accident” and its aftermath is no less than an act of hostility, an act of war on the part of British Petroleum,\u00a0 than if they had bombed Louisiana outright.<\/p>\n
It’s time for retaliation on the part of the United States.\u00a0 We should seize their corporation, and seize all their assets before they can hide any more of them.\u00a0 Seize their equipment, every last boat and skimmer, and force their engineers and rig workers to stop the leak and fix this problem. That would be so much more justified than the war in Iraq ever was.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
