BP Ecocide v10.0: One Swab, No Mask

by vets74

Your pics and videos are welcome here. Between the Deadly Sins and incompetence, BP and Halliburton have loosed a massive petrochemical killing zone.

Mitigation efforts use booms, sand bars, humans walking around with pick-up bags, burnings and skimmers. So far... the "make work mindlessness" of these efforts come down to this:

Gulf Coast "cleanup" and "recovery" are addressing less than 1% of the petrochemical spew. Putting these guys out there for "cleanup" without protective breathers is similar to these:

-- Putting an employee inside an auto body paint box without a breather

-- Putting the World Trade Center workers in the burning ruins without breathers.

These are are not getting the simple $29.99 N99 Standard safety masks for particulates.

BP is as bad at protecting workers as Rudy Giuliani. Next they will be selling a corporate symbol "Mr. Cleanup," parallel to Giuliani stumping as "Mr. 9/11."

Holes.

BP Oil Disaster v9.0: Ecocide Ignores the Cheering

by vets74

Pics, videos of this ecocide are welcome here. Same for examples of media coverage as corrupt propaganda.

BP and Halliburton have committed ecocide:

-- 200,000,000+ gallons of crude oil

-- New pollution events for 5 years.

Mitigation efforts use booms, sand bars, walking around with pick-up bags, burnings and skimmers. So far... minimal environmental effect.

The slaughter gets worse and worse:

Typically -- ashore -- humans pretend they can sop up hundreds of gallons of petro poisons:

The coastal ecology is being destroyed. MSM-AP yesterday declared the opposite.

BP Oil Disaster v8.0: Mindless Mitigation Activity

by vets74

Death in the Gulf.

Pics, videos are welcome. Same for examples of media coverage as propaganda.

BP and Halliburton committed ecocide. Dumping 200,000,000+ gallons of crude oil into the Gulf will be causing pollution events for 5 years.

Mitigation efforts onshore have hired the unemployed, but otherwise have produced minimal environmental effect.

"There was no oil on the beach on Grand Isle Louisiana when this video was shot, which means this disturbance occurred for no good reason."

The previous diary in this WineRev model series is HERE.

BP Oil Disaster v7.0: "Offshore Drilling Halted"

by vets74

Death in the Gulf.

Pics, videos and examples of bad media work are welcome. BP and Halliburton committed ecocide.

Mitigation efforts have had minimal effect. Use of "dispersant" chemicals have made things rather worse overall. This WineRev Model series focuses on biological impacts, the science underlying oil and its transport away from the Deepwater Horizon blow out site, and the human factors.

Echos of a Rightie propaganda distortion appeared all over the media landscape yesterday. Offshore drilling... halted -- the Lie of the Day:

The meme started HERE at Fox News

Only the deep water, mile-down, most dangerous handful of exploratory wells are affected by the clamp down.

Meanwhile, BP has not responded to NAACP allegations and documentation of discrimination related to the mitigation efforts (called "cleanup" and "recovery" in corporate media.)

Greenpeace. If DHW happened off Jacksonville. Please post pics below the fold :::

BP Oil Disaster v6.0: Response and Race

by vets74

"Death in the Gulf."

BP and Halliburton committed ecocide. Mitigation efforts so far have had minimal effect. This WineRev Model series focuses on biological impacts, the science underlying oil and its transport away from the DWH blow out site, and associated human responses.

Today's diary reviews the July 10th NAACP letter to BP. No surprise, Blacks and Vietnamese fishermen are depicted as being assigned the most dangerous jobs and denied access to compensation programs.

Meanwhile, updated 2010 deep water maps of the upper GoM for cyclone and anticyclone currents remains unavailable.

The yellow-green offshore areas circulate counterclockwise. The blue anticyclones circulate clockwise. Both of these flow patterns hold DWH's deep water oil, keeping it from reaching the Loop Current and exiting the Gulf.

BP Oil Disaster v 5.0: Water Retention

by vets74

"Death in the Gulf." BP and Halliburton committing ecocide.

This WineRev Model series focuses on the effects.

BP, the Coast Guard and corporate media are selling propaganda that the GoM Loop Current will clean things out:

No-no-no.

That first lavender offshore geostrophic cyclone can hold slowly rising oil for years. Then the pale yellow anticyclone circles north of the Loop Current.

Oil is going to be surfacing in the northern GoM and be at risk to hurricane for years. More below :::

BP Oil Disaster v4.1: Pics & Vids & Media Lies

"Death in the Gulf." BP and Halliburton committing ecocide.

This WineRev Model series provides a home for pics and vids. WineRev covered the 2009 Senate recount with a delightful 157 diary series. "Recounting Minnesota" at Amazon

Meanwhile, following its "1,000 gallons a day" lie, Coast Guard and BP referenced this map showing quick, clean flushing for the Gulf of Mexico:

No-no-no-no-no-no-no..... In deep water circular currents makes flow patterns quite complicated.

Greenpeace is brilliant:

BP Oil Disaster v3.2: Pics & Vids & Media Lies

by vets74

"Death in the Gulf" is the subtitle.

BP and Halliburton  are committing a massive ecocide. This WineRev Model series provides a home for pics and vids, plus material that focuses on corporate media distortions.

Here's the the MRGO channel. 500 yards and $3 MM for the booms:

-- Greyrath/Getty

And the CNN fable factory came up with a BP-friendly lie that the "Whale" skimmer will extract 21,000,000 gallons of oil a day.

Our whitis went to the sources and pulled out 63,000 gallons a day as a theoretical maximum.

Nice to see Recommended in the tags:::
