Fantastic interview on the Ed Show - Engulfed in Hardship - No cleanup in the gulf, a coverup

[flamingdem]

I will post it later. Dean Blanchard Louisiana shrimp buyer is telling the truth about BP.

"The paved the gulf with asphalt".

He's doing 4% of his regular sales. There are still sections blocked off though BP says everything is back to normal. Etc.

1. The photos of the island "pre" and "post BP" were heartbreaking.

2. Yes, I knew this was a disaster but it's been tough to find people

willing to speak out. As the guy interviewed said - too many people here depend on the oil industry.

3. Excellent indeed

4. Sadly, weeks after the spill,

the tourists were happily swimming in the Gulf and gulping down local seafood,
because Fla.and Ala Chambers of Commerce were paid big bucks by BP to promote clean safe beaches and water.
even tho BP hired anonymous crews to clean the beach at the crack of dawn of all the oil that had washed up overnight.
And local cops drove reporters off the PUBLIC beaches when they tried to show the beach clean-up.

Louisiana is hugely owned by Big Oil, common knowledge.
