The Big Fix - The Truth About The BP Oil Spill

I am presenting to you an eye opening video that will give you a new perspective about how many lives were changed because of the Oil companies love for profiting because of consumers love for oil.

I know that if we continue to remain blind to how drilling for oil in the bodies of water that surround our Countries has caused many lives to be lost because of explosions and also because of the toxic Chemicals that the Oil companies choose to use for these spills that are very harmful to humans and creatures that live in the water.

I urge you to take the time needed to view this very informative video which is the real truth as to what really was happening as to what was being told to us by the main stream media.

I hope that many of you who watch this video will share it with others who are, more than likely, not aware that the people who are living nearest to the Gulf of Mexico BP oil spill are still being affected by the Corexit toxin because it is now in the seafood and water supply.

Because of BP's solution to the devastating oil spill that was caused by ignoring safety measures and that they allowed Halliburton to become involved with maintenance issues, I felt the need to spread the truth. Someone was not keeping their eye on the ball and because of that fact the loss of life still continues to this day.

I have also vowed to never buy gas from BP gas stations to show my support for all who have become sick and who have died from illnesses related to the toxic Chemical Corexit.



I am also including a link about Corexit, so that you can see that this Toxic Chemical should never have been chosen to clean up the oil spill.

Corexit 9500 Dispersant Is Killing Life In The Gulf Of Mexico

I am afraid what we have here is either negligence or something that is being done on purpose. I say this because I recently came across some very disturbing information. Apparently there is more to the dispersant known as Corexit 9500, than meets the eye.

Toxicity and Alternative (source: wikipedia)

The safety data sheet states “The potential human hazard is: High.”

According to the Alaska Community Action on Toxics, the use of Corexit during the Exxon Valdez oil spill caused "respiratory, nervous system, liver, kidney and blood disorders" in people.[7] According to the EPA, Corexit is more toxic than dispersants made by several competitors and less effective in handling southern Louisiana crude.[11] However, the oil from Deepwater Horizon is not believed to be typical Louisiana crude.

Reportedly Corexit is toxic to marine life and helps keep spilled oil submerged. The quantities used in the Gulf will create 'unprecedented underwater damage to organisms.'[12] 9527A is also hazardous for humans: 'May cause injury to red blood cells (hemolysis), kidney or the liver'.[13]

Alternative dispersants which are approved by the EPA are listed on the National Contingency Plan Product Schedule[14] and rated for their toxicity and effectiveness.[15]

I do believe that we, who live on the east coast of south Florida, will eventually be affected by, what they are now calling, the worst man-made environmental disaster in the world.
People who are cleaning up the oil spill are now suffering from health problems due to the toxic fumes from the crude oil, and the Corexit 9500 toxic dispersant, which is still being sprayed on the surface of the oil spill, and also 5,000 feet below the surface, where the oil spill has unfortunately been made worse, after yet another futile attempt, to try to stop the oil, this time by trying to put a cap over the gushing oil.
This is particularly disturbing because the E.P.A. (Environmental Protection Agency) had told B.P. to use a less toxic, more effective dispersant, as soon as they realized that B.P. was using a more toxic, less effective dispersant.
These videos are very informative and eye opening.
Even if you don't live as close to the oil spill as I do, I hope that you will take the time to view them.







Do you think that B.P. and The U.S. government is doing enough with controlling and cleaning up the Gulf oil spill?
