Military Airshows and British Petroleum: Both Doing Their Share of Polluting of the Environment for Fun and Profit
by Gary G. Kohls, MD

The BigOil cartels have committed premeditated murder against the dying Gulf of Mexico and, having done their part in melting the sea ice at the top of the planet, are now aiming their lethal gaze at the Arctic Ocean. They have gotten off with a slap on the wrist for mortally wounding the Gulf. The corporate criminals in the oil business are back to business as usual.

Just like most of the above the law corporate powers that were in charge of the Chernobyl, Three Mile Island and Fukashima nuclear power disasters (that contaminated massive amounts of soil, water and air and killed off or sickened uncounted numbers of children and other living things) the institutions that had reassured us sheeple about the safety of nuclear energy or deep water drilling were knowingly taking huge risks, among them the possible extinction of life on the planet, especially us easily brainwashable “little people” (AKA, “the untermenschen”, in the original German).

Not only that but, also like Chernobyl and Fukashima, the corporate elite that were responsible for the British Petroleum and Halliburton disaster had no plausible contingency plans on how to handle the worst-case scenarios. In other words they knew there were huge risks for the massive poisoning of the oceans but, with their fingers crossed, these elites went full-steam ahead anyway.

Taking Lethal Risks With the Planet for Fun and Profit

As was true with the bigwigs responsible for those nuclear disasters, the three major bunglers of the Gulf disaster (British Petroleum, Transocean and Dick Cheney’s Halliburton) were being richly rewarded for gambling, for high stakes, with the long-term survivability of the planet because of the potential for huge corporate and shareholder profits.
