Re: At least 11 missing after blast on oil rig in Gulf
wasn't sure if this should be a new thread or not. put it here for the continueing story line. Be assured, it's far from over. the second story link has photos you don't want to miss. notice the photo's comparing this new ailment and the rash of scabies.
BP oil spill: Obama administration's scientists admit alarm over chemicals Environmental Protection Agency experts expressed concerns to superiors about use of dispersants, says whistleblower group
......."It was only one test and it was very crude. We knew going into this and the EPA knew that this mixture is highly toxic to many, many species. There is a whole weight of literature," said Susan Shaw, the director of the Marine Environmental Research Institute,....
.....Documents released by the Massachusetts Democrat Ed Markey this week show the EPA allowed spraying of dispersants 74 times over a period of 48 days. At times, the EPA gave advance approval for the use of dispersants for up to a week. The documents also showed the EPA allowed BP to spray 36,000 gallons of Corexit in a single day. ....
Bio-Remediation or Bio-Hazard? Dispersanats, Bacteria & Illness in the Gulf Ocean Springs, AL
....."The bacteria are running amok with the dispersants." What? "Those oil-eating bacteria - I think they're running amok and causing skin rashes." My mind reeled. Could we all have missed something so simple? ......
.....an outbreak of mysterious persistent rashes from southern Louisiana across to just north of Tampa, Florida, coincident with BP's oil and chemical release, it seemed suddenly worthy of investigating.....
.....I first heard about the rash from Sheri Allen in Mobile, Alabama. Allen wrote of red welts and blisters on her legs after "splashing and wading on the shoreline" of Mobile Bay with her two dogs on May 8. She reported that "hundreds of dead fish" washed up on the same beach over the following two days. ....
....Other people - both residents and visitors to the Gulf coast - wrote of similar rashes or other skin problems like peeling palms. .....the rash did not respond well to antibiotics, steroid creams, or steroid shots......
...Another clue to the real cause of the mystery rash is its prevalence across the entire oil-impacted Gulf. Something in the water or air, or both, could explain this. While public officials and BP claim that dispersant use was halted in May for Corexit 9527A and on July 19 for Corexit 9500A, evidence collected by Gulf residents has shown that dispersants are being used in nearshore and inland waters, close to highly populated areas across the Gulf. Further, oil and the Corexit marker have been found in air and inland water. ....
.......I have also heard from people who developed the same symptoms after contact with Gulf air by wiping an oily film off their airplane's leading edges after flying over the Gulf (absorbent pad tested positive for oil) or swimming in outdoor pools, or splashing in puddles, after it rained. .......
Re: At least 11 missing after blast on oil rig in Gulf
Thanks for bringing us back to this story, Gen. We don't hear much about it in the news these days, do we? I was just going to post a few items from Kendra Arnesen's web page, but first I want to add a couple of excerpts from the above article, same link.
....."To make things a little scarier, some of the oil-eating bacteria have been genetically modified, or otherwise bioengineered, to better eat the oil -- including Alcanivorax borkumensis and some of the Pseudomonas.
......"Is this the perfect storm -- an exploding population of opportunistic Gram-negative bacteria (some natural, some not), millions of gallons of food (oil) for the bacteria, and a susceptible population of stressed-out people?
.....In the Gulf, Nurse Schmidt believes:
Quote:
This is like a major bacterial storm. It could be the reason we are seeing a variance of symptoms in different individuals. In some people, we see respiratory complications, while in others we see skin or GI symptoms. I think it is due to a multitude of colonized bacteria -- which may have been triggered by BP's disaster.

Thanks for posting this Gen, that story at the Huff Post is scary as hell
And of course where is the MSM when we need them the most

Indubitably, Gen, it almost goes without saying, well, to a few people it does, but some will never get it others will get it all too well. To them, if your voice is loud enough you are a threat. Dare to raise a voice with this "suspicion" and one would be branded a racist, fear-mongerer, anti-government, delusional, OR, treasonous, i.e. a TERRORIST!!
But dear Lord, how much of a coincidence does it take to point out something that stinks so badly? Katrina + oil disaster = goodbye NO, a major portion of which along the coast is ...... African-American which = poor, useless eaters, drain on society, etc. etc.
Just to take Gen's quote a little further, many people in poor health, with a lot of STRESS, with weakened immune systems (which can be an effect of toxic chemicals), with other diseases in addition to the ones noted in the quote, are ripe for any infection, never mind bio-engineered ones Did that part of the story hit anyone else as hard as it did me? Now there is no attempt to hide the engineering, modifying, etc. of bacteria (why not viruses too, and fungi). Folks, I am afraid. What came up from the depths of the earth, what has been deliberately placed into our bio-sphere?

Re: At least 11 missing after blast on oil rig in Gulf
No more worries, move on, nothing more to see here.
BP oil well 'effectively dead' 5 months after spill began By the CNN Wire Staff September 19, 2010 12:22 p.m. EDT
(CNN) -- The blown-out well at the heart of the worst oil spill in U.S. history has been cemented shut and is "effectively dead," the federal government's point man for the disaster said Sunday.
"Additional regulatory steps will be undertaken but we can now state, definitively, that the Macondo well poses no continuing threat to the Gulf of Mexico," former Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen announced.
A total of 4.9 million barrels of crude oil spewed into the Gulf of Mexico after the Deepwater Horizon explosion. BP says most of the oil has disappeared, eaten by bacteria or soaked up by the sun. But not everyone agrees locals and scientists on the ground say that the oil is lurking beneath the water and that BP has done everything it can to buy a clean image and silence. France 24's Jerome Bonnard, Jennifer Knock and Eve Irvine went to find out more.
..... access to the oiled parts of marsh is controlled by the Joint Information Centre, the response group made up of BP and government representatives. Only pre-approved staff are allowed to cross protective boom placed along the coast.
..... Scientists in the Gulf States were also alarmed at what they say were attempts by BP to buy up entire departments of Universities asking the scientists’ there to work exclusively for the petroleum company and to refrain from releasing any of their findings for a three year minimum.
“Last week France 24 had a reporter in N.O.and she told the story that the drywall they used in the houses after Katrina was from China, so these people where (sic) getting benzene in the air from BP and hydrogen sulfide inside their homes from China. What did these folks do to deserve this?”
Riki Ott, PhD, is a marine biologist and toxicologist, author of Sound Truth and Corporate Myth$: The Legacy of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill, a very enlightening read with multiple eyewitness accounts and her own direct experience of that disaster. Ott's book confirms the serious medical consequences of massive chemical exposure from oil spills and serves as a dire warning that the Gulf oil spill is likely to affect our planet and its population in catastrophic ways:
..... A graphic summary of clinical data during the Exxon Valdez oil spill showed that 300 to 500 workers were treated EVERY week of the cleanup for 5 consecutive months for upper respiratory infections with cough and flu-like symptoms. ...attributed .. to a virus, even though epidemiologists reported that the state's lab never found a unique influenza virus in the region. Gulf oil spill flu anyone?
.... Mainstream doctors are incredibly ill-equipped for this disaster as they don't have a formal and appropriate education in environmental toxicity, nutrition, and psychology. seases and ailments.
Much more here: http://www.sott.net/articles/show/21527 ... -Oil-Spill including Detoxify or Die , info on toxins, solvents, effects of prolonged exposure to oils, dispersants, genetic damage, Chemical Sensitivity, diseases brought on by toxic chemical exposure, How to Detoxify, and a bibliography with further reading.

Re: At least 11 missing after blast on oil rig in Gulf
Navy Secretary Mabus urges Congress to take swift action on long-term oil spill recovery Published: Wednesday, September 29, 2010, 5:23 PM Updated: Wednesday, September 29, 2010, 5:27 PM
MOBILE, Alabama -- U.S. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, speaking in Mobile today, urged Congress to quickly pass legislation that would dedicate some penalty fees from the BP oil spill to the Gulf Coast.
Mabus spoke at the Downtown Air Center before traveling to Pensacola, part of his unveiling of a long-term oil spill recovery plan this week.
The report calls for a significant amount of civil penalties, charged under the Clean Water Act, to be placed into a Gulf Coast fund and managed by a Gulf Coast Recovery Council, which would require congressional action.
"I think we've got the best argument you could possibly have for that," Mabus said. "The coast is the place that took the hit. The people on the coast are the people who were hurt."

Feds funding study of oil spill’s effect on FLESH-EATING bacteria — Blamed for multiple recent Gulf-area deaths after water/seafood contact (VIDEOS
September 28th, 2010 at 11:04 AM
Quote:
The Department of Health (DOH) said on Tuesday that six deaths have occurred this year as a result of a deadly bacteria, at least two of them from raw oyster consumption. Known as Vibrio vulnificus, (aka flesh-eating bacterium) the bacteria infects the body in two ways, either by exposure to contaminated seafood or through an open wound exposed to contaminated seawater. DOH said that the other four deaths remain under investigation as to the source of the exposure. DOH is warning Floridians to avoid eating raw oysters and exposing open wounds to seawater and estuarine water.
Quote:
“The question is: Will there be an inadvertent enhancement of the growth of these potential human pathogens… It’s a question, and the answer is uncertain.”
Quote:
Vibrio vulnificus, often found in oyster beds, may change (mutate) in response to the spill......“Adaptation to the spilled oil may result in an increase in some types of vibrios,” says Johnson. “We believe that vibrios will change in response to the stress of direct exposure to oil and/or to indirect effects of interactions with other species affected by oil.”

Re: At least 11 missing after blast on oil rig in Gulf
Plumes of Corexit/oil mix causing microorganisms to have “mutant DNA” that can be “passed on” says USF researcher appearing tomorrow on National Geographic. (Published on 9/27)
Quote:
If this plankton at the base of the marine food chain is contaminated, it could affect the whole ecosystem of the Gulf.
"I call these canaries in the coal mine as they are the first to feel the effects," Paul says. "The oil is out of sight as far as the surface is concerned and there are no tar balls on the beaches and the birds are not getting coated in oil but the story isn't over."
"The problem with mutant DNA is that it can be passed on and we don't how this will affect fish or other marine life," he says, adding that the effects could last for decades.

TOXIC RAIN says NSF-funded geochemist: “It may very well be raining hydrocarbons” far inland from coast (VIDEO) September 4th, 2010 at 06:28 PM
On September 1, National Geographic published a report, ‘Could pollutants from the BP oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico end up as far north as New England?’
National Geographic followed Siddhartha Mitra, a geochemist from East Carolina University, on a National Science Foundation-funded trip to the Gulf where he took samples in Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi and then North Carolina.
snip
quoting Mitra: "Oil and water don’t mix, in general. But many of the compounds that are in oil, start dissolving very readily. Those are the hydrocarbons, many of which are toxic at low concentrations."

Re: At least 11 missing after blast on oil rig in Gulf
I'm not posting this looking for donations, just as a signpost of what is going on.
Coast to Coast by Coastal Rescue on Saturday, September 25, 2010 at 11:36pm
Hey everyone,
Coastal Rescue has joined with the Gut ReAction to help get people who are suffering from chemical poisoning related to the oil spill relocated to the West Coast.
If you're having flu like symptoms, or a sore throat, headaches, nausea... or hives, staph infections, swollen nasal passages, or any dermatological or neurological conditions, you should probably contact us so we can help get you tested and detoxed.
Children are the most vulnerable to this. Right now we are helping a family move from Baton Rouge to Vancouver, WA. The 3 year old son has a "kidney infection of unknown origin." Well, we know the origin... he was playing in a swimming pool filled with poisonous rainwater!
If you believe in this cause, and can spare just $1, please consider making a charitable donation at www.coastalrescue.us. We need so much help right now, as we are up against pure evil.
Help sponsor this family so that this child can live a full life.
Thank you for your consideration.
Amelia

Dr. Geoffrey Gardner, a ["world renowned"] Lakeland swan expert, is facing the challenge of a lifetime. Something is killing the seabirds and swans on Long Boat Key…
“Our concern is that it may be coming from toxins in the waters, something coming from the dispersants that might have been used for the Gulf oil spill,” Gardner told FOX 13 on Thursday.
The birds started getting sick and dying two months after the spill…

Yup - Kudos Ruts...
It is good that we have some of the facts of the sittuation mirrored here on the GT. One day, someone will have to take responsibilty for all of this!

Re: At least 11 missing after blast on oil rig in Gulf
Battle Stations - All Hands on Deck
I am glad I got your attention with that title. And yes it is all hands on deck for life, for the challenges that are coming. Sadly I am not joking with this Paul Revere-type summons. Life is about to get a whole lot more serious and it looks like it is a race between which 10-ton truck is going to hit first. I know how to be an alarmist sounding loud horns of doom and gloom but you got look at some of these links below. Life on this planet never has been very secure for us humans. Between what we do to ourselves and what nature does to us collectively we have had a hard time with health and survival.
Is it going to be a terrible inflation in food prices coupled with severe shortages (as world food reserves drop again) and food riots around the globe, or is it going to be a week of financial panic followed by severe contraction in economic activity? The U.N. fears a repeat of the price spike in 2008 that set off global food riots. Now sure, not everyone is going to be affected and some of us will be able to afford much higher food prices, but let’s face it—billions of people will not be able to and they will go hungrier. A billion, according to the U.N., are already starving and dying.
For some, the 10-ton truck has already hit; for instance, many in the Gulf of Mexico region are suffering tremendously but they have been forgotten and forsaken by the controlled press. Strange flesh eating bacteria are binging on the oil and people are dying in that area because of it, but these people’s suffering is not reaching the ears of the nation.
A good part of Russia just burned, not only taking 30 million tons of grain away from humanity but also releasing huge amounts of radiation from the burning of forest and soil. Toxic exposure is a huge and growing problem that the survivors of the next few years are going to have to deal with. Survival Medicine will be needed, not pharmaceutical medicine, which is more and more quickly helping drive people to their graves with its poisonous medicines.
Another heavy truck or apocalyptic horse is coming to us in the form of floods. Talk about suffering—millions of people in Pakistan and now India have lost everything and again huge amounts of crops have been lost. In Canada the flooding has not inflicted heavy human suffering but it has taken another couple million tons of grains from the stomachs of humanity.
And the cold? Even the elite are talking about it and if people really understood what is at stake, they would be moving closer to the equator. “The global elite is perfectly well aware that global cooling represents a far more serious and imminent threat to the world than global warming, but is so far unwilling to admit it except behind closed doors,” writes James Delingpole.Life is going to become significantly more difficult at the more extreme latitudes unless some miracle or fate of nature spares us the next ice age. At least skiers are happy with the early cold and snow that is being reported all over the northern hemisphere.
Instead of dealing publically with the truth, the media have turned to scaring us with huge solar storms but that sounds like a red herring from what is really going on. We have a sleepy sun on our hands. We have even been witnessing a dimming of the Northern Lights, which is a signal that activity on the sun that causes solar winds, such as solar flares and sun sports, has quieted down. The Northern Lights have petered out during the second half of this decade reaching a 100-year low point, the Finnish Meteorological Institute said at the end of September. “The solar minimum was officially in 2008, but this minimum has been going on and on and on,” researcher NooraPartamies said.
What is happening with the weather—the extremes we have been witnessing—are quite strange. Southern California, for example, had a cold summer but now Los Angles at the end of September is experiencing extreme record breaking heat. Some say the mad scientists and rich powerful boys are playing with their HAARP equipment and you know how these guys like to experiment and play with humanity.
We already have been hit universally by a 1000-ton truck in terms of vaccinations. Every politician in the world is a vaccinationist, meaning they are truly out of their minds. Actually to be more accurate they are out of their hearts and fully into their robotic hypnotized minds believing the bullshit they are handed by those actually pulling the world’s strings. Madness rules the world; it has it by the balls and God help us. Morality has reached a new low across the spectrum of human activity and it is hard to not get disgusted with it all.
Yet it is not a time to get depressed. It is time for those in attunement with their hearts to stay lighthearted and to enjoy the presence of their loved ones. It is time for reflection and prayer and preparation of our minds and souls. It is also a time to break the barriers of separation that prevail in our current civilization and to band with others for the purpose of cooperation and good spirit. It’s a good moment to have purpose and direction and to be in touch with the deeper meanings of life.
