It’s becoming painfully clear that the federal government, having been swallowed whole by the corporate-financial sector, and is incapable of even a shred of preparation for the impending economic/oil shocks. The myopic short-term-profit prime directive of the corporations is now being defended wholly and at all costs by both Democrats and Republicans alike – to the exclusion of even the most basic protections for the bemused and hapless citizenry.

Bob Cavnar:
" So, six months after the largest environmental catastrophe in the history of the United States, we are poised to go back into the deepwater, doing the same thing we were doing before the disaster on the Deepwater Horizon, with the same equipment, same rigs, and same systems. Once again, politics has trumped saving human lives and the environment, and here we are, doing too little, too soon. "
Good thing Oil's not ABIOTIC. And a Good thing we can't do anything but die w/o it.
Humans aren't god's greatest creation. We're the Fucking Asteroid.

See, Here's how it works. With the Epic Fail, 'your' gov't will form a ring around the affected area. TRIAGE it. Then Bring in the MSM to tell you that ALL of this is UNDER CONTROL.
While not allowing ANY independent analysis (See USSR/Chernobyl).
Then once the Crisis has 'bottomed out', shutting down ANY and ALL feeds to the Epic Fail Zone.
At the same time broadcasting that there's nothin gto see here. Everything is now fine. Move along.
" The well was officially killed and cemented on Sept. 19; under extreme political pressure from the upcoming fall elections, as well as from Gulf Coast politicians and businesses, the Secretary of Interior relented and lifted the government ban on deepwater drilling on Oct. 11, justifying the move by just adding yet another layer of new certifications, but no tangible improvements to safety. The new drilling rules requires no redesign of blowout preventers or control systems, merely mandate third party certifications that they are "... capable of cutting any drill pipe... ," knowing full well that no blowout preventer can actually do that."
The US DOES NOT Evacuate. Ever. You will die where you stand. That's the take away.
You are on your own unless you know a multi millionaire. Then you get a bonus!!!! YEAH.
