The REAL REASON Behind the BP Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico - 2010 Video
READ THIS: Dick Cheney's deregulation agenda is the real (underlying) reason / cause behind the US oil spill by British Petroleum (BP) in 2010 off the coast of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico. Deregulation coupled with lax government oversight (lackies appointed by Dick Cheney at the helm) lead to the omission of key safety features and protocols, a free pass for drilling licenses, emphasis on profit over safety, and absolutely NO PLAN for containment of blowouts. In addition, the courts in the Gulf States, are completely stacked with Republican appointees (like Feldman) with major investments in or connections with BIG OIL (see last paragraph).

For example, George W Bush and Dick Cheney helped block a 2002/03 Bill that would have required the use of acoustic switches as a means to activate the blowout preventer (BOP).
Also, BP did not want to lose an oil well (by activating the BOP); this would have cost them future profit in addition to the costs for exploration and preparation of the well. This is most evident when you look at attempts in the first month and a half: all of the post-blowout efforts have been focused on SAVING the well; it was only after more than a month before BP attempted "TOPKILL", which would have sealed the well.
Lastly, US District Judge Martin Feldman, who overturned the temporary drilling ban on June 22, owns investments in Ocean Energy (Houston-based), Quicksilver Resources, Prospect Energy, Peabody Energy, Halliburton, Pengrowth Energy Trust, Atlas Energy Resources, Parker Drilling and others. Feldman is also a REAGAN appointee, in 1983. Conflict of interest or institutional corporate control over public policy?
Any more doubts about who runs America? Hint: its not you, the citizens of America. Drill Baby, Drill! Spill Baby, Spill. Now, clean it the fock up!

Even with this switch, the BOP's were jammed on pipe? and couldn't close.

@smokethosetaliban I'm 100% positive that during? period I mentioned, the Australian government had zero debt levels. Type in Australian government net debt into google and have a look at the 2004 to 2007 period. Our current government and treasurer are absolute dickheads. However, Howard and Costello lead the country brilliantly from 1996 to 2007. The current government is f**king wasteful and are on the verge of getting thrown out.
Matt DAMON is an ...
Matt DAMON is an absolute f**king lunatic radical prog--laying in traffic to spew his views and? berate conservatives--what I meant earlier is that he would NEVER be a part of a documentary that didn't go off the rails for radical collectivism. Ever since he starred in Good Will Hunting, he believes he is that character----for real....ditto George Clooney, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, Barbara Striesand---all wacked out --all tofu eating, bike riding, sweater wearing collectivists
If your treasurer ...
If your treasurer is putting? the brakes on risky lending instead of forcing it to happen(like we had), then that bodes well for you...wish we had fiscal conservatives here running things, but Reagan was the last we had.
@mdr279 I've looked ...
@mdr279 I've looked at your debt tables before and I just did again--you've always had debt, but often at admirably low levels. But that speaks to an even more serious problem? if in such a short time you are approaching 1 trillion before your housing bubble. You are very dependent on foriegn oil which is more risky than ever. Not trying to berate you--we have much worse problems here. Just saying...
Australia is the ...
Australia is the only democratic country without a bill or charter of human rights
Google "Australia-the worlds number one nanny state" and read the article. We've heard alot in our? press about these authoritarian laws overtaking your country just as they have Europe and our own liberal bastions. read that article and you'll have a better idea what I mean by "dabbling..."
@smokethosetaliban ...
@smokethosetaliban by here I mean in Melbourne...... and Sydney and Perth are pretty? much the same.
@smokethosetaliban ...
@smokethosetaliban Yeh you're right, house prices are f**king astronomical here. However, the Howard government which had Peter Costello as Treasurer brought into law banking regulations that means banks? have to be vigilant in analysing people's credit risk so that you don't have a whole bunch of people defaulting. Yes, house prices have started to slow a bit recently but nothing drastic is going to happen because of this. Here, $2 to $3 million houses are as common as anything... high demand
@smokethosetaliban ...
@smokethosetaliban No that's where you're wrong. From 2003-2007 under the Howard Government (He came into? office in 1996), not only did we have huge budget surpluses but we actually had zero debt. The Australian government had a lot of money in the bank during that period. Look it up man. We've had budget surpluses since 1996 (minus the past 2/3 years)
But back to your ...
But back to your blaming greedy bankers because Matt Damon says so....look up the facts I gave you...check out the CRA(community reinvestment act)...study the collapse of fannie/freddie despite warnings from Greenspan and others...see how the US govt recklessly gave TRILLIONS to European banks in Fed write-offs(off the books)--go here on youtube and search "9 trillion missing"--then tell me the liberal democrats in the US govt didn't cause the GFC while? Bush stood by and watched like a fool
And if the chinese ...
And if the chinese bubble bursts, and it? will, your entire outlook changes. I'm not wishing this on you...hope you avoid what we've been through
you do get credit ...
you do get credit for a great debt to? GDP ratio...until lately
"we had huge budget ...
"we had huge budget surpluses"--yeah, you guys were carrying a natl debt long before the GFC--some surplus in this or that yr doesn't erase your debt...and now you face a housing bubble like? we had. In fact, the ratio of housing prices to income in Australia is the worst in the civilized world--almost 8 to 1...and you have a growing debt problem--some in your country call it the AUS debt bomb--soon to top 1 trillion and beyond. We had a great economy too--before the bubble burst--keep bragging
what do you have ...
what do you have against socialism? you think obama is ok...he's a socialist in the extreme. You favor govt regulation, you distrust capitalists--you have a socialist streak running right through you?
Australia is a ...
Australia is a great country with? admirable fiscal restraint and not socialist--not yet at least, but you have dabbled just as we have
"why would? the US ...
"why would? the US government? back those loans?"--because the CRA was a social engineering program to force bankers to lend to high risk borrowers so that we could have an "ownership society"--look it up
no, but a weakened ...
no, but a weakened Europe ensured that European banks couldn't lend here--in fact? we gave European banks TRILLIONS from our fed @ stimulus
@smokethosetaliban ...
@smokethosetaliban just admit Australia isn't socialist and I'll leave it there. Prior to the GFC, we had huge budget surpluses and desirable levels? of growth and unemployment. And even now we're doing well...... If europe was "weakened by socialism" and if we supposedly "dabble in socialist policies", then how come we aren't weak......... Probably because we're not socialist...
its not "If they ...
its not "If they backed the loans"--Fannie/ and freddie were holding half of the bad paper? in the US when the crash occured
