Papantonio: BP Still Won’t Pay Up

[GoLeft TV]

BP has stepped up their efforts to avoid paying out the billions of dollars that they owe to victims along the Gulf Coast – victims who are still suffering from the company’s 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Ring of Fire's Mike Papantonio talks about the latest schemes from the oil giant with newspaper publisher Rick Outzen.

1. This case has been the worst example of "Justice in America" you could imagine!

BP has lied to EVERYONE!!! They lied and said Feinberg was Independant, the judge later ruled that he was and is BP's bitch, I mean Representative. This was only after he had told everyone he was Independant and his finding was generally, "Well, you are missing document X, and Y, therefore all you are entitled is 5k for the loss of your livelihood as an Oysterman. This went on for hundreds of thousands of claims that they tricked in signing away their rights for a pittance. Turns out they were only getting warmed up. BP came up with the $600,000,000 "Common Benefit Fund" for attorneys on the Plaintiff Steering Committee (PSC). They only get the money if almost all of the victims get trapped in the Class Action where they cannot back out, waive their right to trial against BP, and the class settlement has to go all the way through to the end. They lied to everyone about how fast it would work and how much money this would pay victims. 75% of the victims are being denied and the ones getting paid are getting cents on the dollar. The PSC will not fight to throw out the settlement because then they don't get the $600 million dollars. Mark my words, BP will fight to have the settlement thrown out when it is almost through screwing over the last of the victims just so they can also go back on their agreement to pay the PSC!

EVERYTHING IN THIS COUNTRY IS CORRUPT!!!

2. So what can we do with such injustice? One idea is to share this on social media & emails

I haven't been able to use the "share on FB" function in probably more than a year, but if you just "copy" the article, and paste it into FB or whatever, it works. Any other ideas? We gotta get this story out now.
