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!

So why would he care? The power, over others. Take a really good look at that smug face and tell me I lie:)

@ ...
@Speedmccool385b***h 17 other countries asked and were told we "did not need thier assistance at this time". 60 minutes did a cover story on all of the different countries that offered to help as did 20/20 and Time Magaizine. The Obama admin when asked about why they didnt take the offer said "We're leaving the logistics of the cleanup to BP". I dont care if Obama is black; pink, purple or green. He should have let them in to help and not let his pride get in the way.

@wtfftwo0oya I'm ...
@wtfftwo0oya I'm good; If Obama's staff tells me its going to be sunny outside: I'm grabbing an umbrella and some raingear

Gd some of you are ...
Gd some of you are dumb! How many OTHER COUNTRIES CAME TO "HELP" clean the spill and left with ships full of crude oil? This was a plan 4yrs in the making! s**t every WHITE PERSON LOVES TO BLAME THE BLACK GUY FOR SOMETHING... Y not now? It looks like his fault and seems to point back to him except for the one small detail...THE f**kING HELP FROM OTHER COUNTRIES!!!!!!!!

@URUROTRASH Man i ...
@URUROTRASH Man i live in the Gulf and i trust the "Liberal University Scientists" over your politicians any day.You cant clean up a spill that dose not stop flowing. Its killing our sea life and plants and much more And as far as your vacation gos, i hope its right one the beach,So you can smell the same s**tty air we do. Ull see for your self...

All lies.................within 50 years (or sooner) the oil will destroy all life. It will be 100% cleaned up when the after affects of their actions kill us all!

God bless america..

@saradomin89898 parents who know what their kid will end up to be

omg you people write a lot lol i cant even find my comment to see what the response was talking about that got sent to me!

@Thanks4TheClues ...
@Thanks4TheClues LOL yeah but why are people named Dick sometimes!? who would even name their child that?

blame bush and ...
blame bush and cheney i hate you f**king hippiey

Scientists claimed ...
Scientists claimed 85% of the oil is still in the Gulf; Obama's staff said 85% was cleaned up and the Scientists were wrong. The next day the Scientist's from 7 different Universities stepped forward with proof. Obama's staff said nothing. Oh will; you cant trust those Liberal University Scientists anyways; its much safer to go with the politicians. I'm planning my vacation for the Gulf right now!

@yoogoh Please ...
@yoogoh Please explain to me how Bush had anything to do with this? The House and Senate have been controlled by the Democrats since 2006. Meaning they're in control of every single oversight committee; including Energy, Wall Street, The Ways and Means committee's. That is why control of the House and Senate are so important to each party. Obama was elected in 08, this spill was in 2010; and yet its a presidents fault who couldnt pass a bill without Senate approval since 2005? How?

This is george ...
This is george bushs legacy-laws made from an oil president for oil companies. If he"d stayed "4 more years" america would become a complete ground zero.

But it was American ...
But it was American taxpayers and the environment that were getting screwed. MMS managers were awarded cash bonuses for pushing through risky offshore leases, auditors were ordered not to investigate shady deals, and safety staffers routinely accepted gifts from the industry, allegedly even allowing oil companies to fill in their own inspection reports in pencil before tracing over them in pen.

During the Bush ...
During the Bush years, the Minerals Management Service, the agency in the Interior Department charged with safeguarding the environment from the ravages of drilling, descended into rank criminality. According to reports by Interior's inspector general, MMS staffers were both literally and figuratively in bed with the oil industry. When agency staffers weren't joining industry employees for coke parties or trips to corporate ski chalets, they were having sex with oil-company officials.

Dick Cheney should ...
Dick Cheney should be hung from the highest tree and left there so all the animals and what not could eat at his decaying body.

Doing some research ...
Doing some research, infact even if the deepwater horizon had the acoustic switches, it wouldn't have work as there was something preventing the blowout preventer(which the acoustic device activates) from closing the well. This video is just simply a politicizing the entire matter. However, i am still in favour of anything that can prevent thing disaster from happening again.

the amount of ...
the amount of destruction the oil industry does around the world is horrible but most people dont bat an eyelid till it effects Westerners. Can anyone tell me that this is anything but racism?
