December 02 ramping up the Invasion of Iraq...discomfort in the chest area...
and May 05 PO.....'massive stroke' begins.... :twisted:
So, no real money was handed over, no cries of pain from Berlin, no let-up in the ‘Greece is dead’ leaks by the IMF, no political kudos seen by Venizelos in staying to take the credit for Greek salvation, no action by Athens on the i’s and t’s of the Brussels Accord, and no accusations from the Troika about that. But a concerted push for Berlin to get a firm grip on the eurogroup.
That all adds up, I think, to something both nasty and imminent.
The discrepancies pertain to verbal claims that exposure to COREXIT, the dispersant selected by BP and approved by the EPA to treat the oil, was safe, and the health problems actually associated with COREXIT listed in a BP manual.
So despite the fact that BP officials knew the severe health risks tied to Corexit, they told cleanup workers they had absolutely nothing to fear from the dispersant.
The company manual exposes BP’s complete and utter disregard for the safety of cleanup crews that spent months working the waters in the spring and summer of 2010. This key piece of evidence may very well provide the impetus for sick cleanup workers – many of them commercial fishermen and charter boat captains – to opt out of the $7.8 billion class settlement and to sue BP on an individual basis.
The manual lists symptoms of exposure, such as damage to the central nervous system, chemical pneumonia, upper respiratory problems and injury to the kidney, liver or red blood cells (hemolysis). Further, the manual recognizes that crude oil contains benzene and other hazardous chemicals that can cause cancer.
People are sick and dying all along the Gulf Coast. We have a serious situation on our hands that has been largely overlooked by the national media and our elected officials in Washington. "
“I have terrible chest pain, at times I can’t seem to get enough oxygen, and I’m constantly tired with pains all over my body,” Aguinaga explained, “At times I’m pissing blood, vomiting dark brown stuff, and every pore of my body is dispensing water.” Aguinaga’s health has been in dramatic decline.
And Aguinaga’s friend Vallian is now dead.
“After we got back from our vacation in Florida, Merrick went to work for a company contracted by BP to clean up oil in Grand Isle, Louisiana,” Aguinaga said of his 33-year-old physically fit friend.
“Aside from some gloves, BP provided no personal protection for them. He worked for them for two weeks and then died on August 23. He had just got his first paycheck, and it was in his wallet, uncashed, when he died.”
Tragically, there are thousands of accounts just like that of Steven Aguinaga. ....;}
The BP manual states that COREXIT is a chronic and acute health hazard under EPA standards, and its toxicity is so severe that special protective equipment and clothing are necessities. But LEAN and GAP have received numerous reports that when cleanup workers sought additional safety equipment, such as respirators donated by LEAN, they were threatened with termination.....
Here’s the link to both the bombshell BP manual and the GAP/LEAN letter:
See, the problem is that once you've gone ignorant, you don't know what to pay attention to anymore.
You can start paying attention, but it's painful at first. Just like an addict in withdrawal.
Just the way the USSA likes it.
There is some kind of code among conservatives that sez you will not criticize the oil industry in any way, shape or form. It's like if you do then it means you hate Nascar, 'rugged individualism' and Bubbas.
If only they could find a founder or two that owned a well or a tar pit, that was used for more than axle grease!
Almost every country in the Middle East is awash in oil, and we have to side with the one that has nothing but joos. Goddamn, that was good thinkin'. Esso posted on 2012-01-13 7:37:56 ET
That I have to go out to google to get back in here and then....
that what I post is not 'displayed'....;}
So the point of Mcgowanjm Wire is what?
You think the only way to find it is through google? Some people don't use bookmarks and use google to find anything. lol. You can bookmark it too though.
I thought the purpose of the "wire" was so you could document the happenings in the world from your unique perspective.
Also everything you post here in on topic. Sometimes your other posts not so much.
For example a thread about confessing about voting for Obama. You post "In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, Ken Griffin, founder of the hedge fund Citadel was asked if he thought rich people had too great of an influence on politics. " Which has absolutely nothing to do with the thread. Why do you do that?
Because you and yours, just like every apologist for the Top 400, can never ever look farther into the past than the Day After your proxy was thrown out.
That USSA's history of failure started with Obama even when from
November 2008
I've made a special point of showing the Finance/Military White House positions are non negotiable. Whichever 'party's' involved.
Yet, threads like this are put up to show that Obama is the sole reason that the USSA's goin' down the tubes.
That Big Oil, the Banksters, and Israel only want the best for the avg Amerikan and the truth couldn't be further away from that premise.....that's why.
Now maybe you can tell me why you started Mcgowan Wire and then made it impossible to find w/o going out to Google, and then
I thought the purpose of the "wire" was so you could document the happenings in the world from your unique perspective.
The purpose was for me to show you the relevancy of my posts.
To tie them together, put a bow on them, and then spoon feed you with it.
Help you along on your re education.
Still is really.
I guess you just want a private tutorial?

How about the ChevronOwningTransocean debacle down in Brazil?
What strikes me most forcefully about the metastasizing attacks on women's health and reproductive rights by male Republican legislators is the sheer mean-spirited hostility, not to say hatred, that it reveals.
Now, the men proposing these laws, and in many cases enacting them, are for the most part married. They have wives, who are using birth control medications. They have daughters who are using birth control medications. They have sons whose wives and partners are using birth control medications. And yet, like Rush Limbaugh, who once again performs the indispensable function of saying out loud what these men are thinking, they clearly consider women who seek insurance coverage for birth control medications to be sluts and whores. That is their own wives and daughters whom they are describing in that manner.
I find it very unlikely that we would see hyperinflation (as opposed to, perhaps, CoL increases in the 10% annual range) before the Ponzi collapses.
The collapse of the Ponzi will be really caused by a freeze up of credit although the idiot media will focus on a plummeting DOW. It is against their religion to analyze with any honesty.
Last October, the New York Times reported that those who believed the Earth was warming dropped from 79 percent in 2006 to 59 percent. However, a month later polling experts blamed this decline on a collapse in media coverage and pollsters’ deeply flawed questions.
3 types of denial:
* A literal denial is: “the assertion that something did not happen or is not true.”
* With an interpretive denial, the basic facts are not denied, however, “…they are given a different meaning from what seems apparent to others.” People recognize that something is happening but that it’s good for us.
* Implicatory denial “covers the multitude of vocabularies, justifications, rationalizations, evasions that we use to deal with our awareness of so many images of unmitigated suffering.” Here, “knowledge itself is not an issue. The genuine challenge is doing the ‘right’ thing with this knowledge.”
What evidence is there that man effects the weather? There is none.
The earth used to be warmer. That is why there is plant life frozen under Antarctica. There is no question the earth used to be warmer then today or that wouldn't be frozen. The only question is why was it colder. I think it was because of the flood in the Bible. We are just coming out of the ice age still. Hence frozen north and south pole.
What evidence is there that man effects the weather? There is none.
If you're new to the climate debate (or are of the mind that there's no evidence for man-made global warming), a good starting point is 10 Indicators of Global Warming which lays out the evidence that warming is happening and the follow-up article, 10 Human Fingerprints on Climate Change which lays out the evidence that humans are the cause. More detail is available in empirical evidence that humans are causing global warming. Contrary to what you may have heard, the case for man-made global warming doesn't hang on models or theory - it's built on direct measurements of many different parts of the climate, all pointing to a single, coherent answer.
while today’s Republican presidential candidates reject evidence that humans are responsible for the warming of the earth
What evidence?
That there's ANyone in the GOP race that has said 'humans are responsible for the warming of the earth'.....
OOOOooooOOOH....you mean what evidence Do I have that your religion is correct on humans not being able to destroy the environment/climate and that what's happening now,
Perhaps sparked by global warming denier Jim Inhofe’s recent appearance on the Rachel Maddow Show, Baldwin launched a series of tweets attacking Inhofe:
* Is there a bigger oil whore alive than Jim Inhofe?
* Is there a bigger climate change denier than Jim Inhofe? (Retweeted response to first tweet.)
* We have to get rid of Inhofe in 2014 … he’ll be 79
* We need to have Inhofe retire to a solar-powered gay bar.
* Oil Whore Jim Inhofe has betrayed every man and woman who lost their livelihood on the Gulf due to BP’s overwhelming negligence…
Baldwin’s emails are creating a form of backlash on twitter and elsewhere.

“Widespread and potentially catastrophic areal flooding and river flooding is expected this afternoon through Wednesday morning in Eastern Oklahoma, Western Arkansas, Western Louisiana, and Southwest Missouri, warns the National Weather Service in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in their latest flood watch for the region.” Weather Underground’s Jeff Masters reports.
“Damaging winds, large hail, flash flooding, and few strong tornadoes are expected to affect the area late this afternoon. ” “The ongoing March heat wave in the Midwest is one of the most extreme heat events in U.S. history.” He adds:
“While the blocking pattern responsible for the heat wave is natural, it is very unlikely that the intensity of the heat would have been so great unless we were in a warming climate.”

Researchers have updated HadCRUT - one of the main global temperate records, which dates back to 1850. One of the main changes is the inclusion of more data from the Arctic region, which has experienced one of the greatest levels of warming. The amendments do not change the long-term trend, but the data now lists 2010, rather than 1998, as the warmest year on record. The update is published in the Journal of Geophysical Research.

Isn't the Fed already leveraged 50x? In fact, can we put the Fed's stat's on these charts? Oh wait, that's right no one really knows as a true and complete audit of the Fed has never been done. How long will the rest of the world let this charade continue? That is all that matters.

You might want to copyright that quote Jim.
The author Mark H Gaffney commented on this finding of “innocuousness”:
Notice … the commission makes no mention in its footnote of the 36 other companies identified by the SEC in its insider trading probe. What about the pre-9/11 surge in call options for Raytheon, for instance, or the spike in put options for the behemoth Morgan Stanley, which had offices in WTC 2? The 9/11 Commission Report offers not one word of explanation about any of this. The truth, we must conclude, is to be found between the lines in the report’s conspicuous avoidance of the lion’s share of the insider trading issue.
Indeed, if the trading was truly “innocuous”, as the report states, then why did the SEC muzzle potential whistleblowers by deputizing everyone involved with its investigation? The likely answer is that so many players on Wall Street were involved that the SEC could not risk an open process, for fear of exposing the unthinkable. This would explain why the SEC limited the flow of information to those with a “need to know”, which, of course, means that very few participants in the SEC investigation had the full picture.
It would also explain why the SEC ultimately named no names. All of which hints at the true and frightening extent of criminal activity on Wall Street in the days and hours before 9/11. The SEC was like a surgeon who opens a patient on the operating room table to remove a tumor, only to sew him back up again after finding that the cancer has metastasized through the system.
At an early stage of its investigation, perhaps before SEC officials were fully aware of the implications, the SEC did recommend that the FBI investigate two suspicious transactions. We know about this thanks to a 9/11 Commission memorandum declassified in May 2009 which summarizes an August 2003 meeting at which FBI agents briefed the commission on the insider trading issue. The document indicates that the SEC passed the information about the suspicious trading to the FBI on September 21, 2001, just ten days after the 9/11 attacks.
Although the names in both cases are censored from the declassified document, thanks to some nice detective work by Kevin Ryan we know whom (in one case) the SEC was referring to. The identity of the suspicious trader is a stunner that should have become prime-time news on every network, world-wide. Kevin Ryan was able to fill in the blanks because, fortunately, the censor left enough details in the document to identify the suspicious party who, as it turns out, was none other than Wirt Walker III, a distant cousin to then-president G W Bush.
Several days before 9/11, Walker and his wife Sally purchased 56,000 shares of stock in Stratesec, one of the companies that provided security at the World Trade Center up until the day of the attacks. Notably, Stratesec also provided security at Dulles International Airport, where AA 77 took off on 9/11, and also security for United Airlines, which owned two of the other three allegedly hijacked aircraft. At the time, Walker was a director of Stratesec. Amazingly, Bush’s brother Marvin was also on the board.
Walker’s investment paid off handsomely, gaining $50,000 in value in a matter of a few days. Given the links to the World Trade Center and the Bush family, the SEC lead should have sparked an intensive FBI investigation. Yet, incredibly, in a mind-boggling example of criminal malfeasance, the FBI concluded that because Walker and his wife had “no ties to terrorism … there was no reason to pursue the investigation.” The FBI did not conduct a single interview.

The killer of a US Colonel and Major (and 'two more'?) has telephoned a progress report to the Taliban, who have already put this story on their 'wire'...
The killer is still at large last I heard. What a mess. US advisers are being evacuated from 'safe and secure' buildings.
They never have caught this guy....
kinda like the 9/11 perps...;}

As far as the abnormal option trades around 9/11 are concerned, I want to give Max Keiser the last word in order to point out the significance of the story.
Max Keiser: Regardless of who did it, we can know that more than a few had advance warning - the trading in the option market makes that clear.
The identity of the suspicious trader is a stunner that should have become prime-time news on every network, world-wide. Kevin Ryan was able to fill in the blanks because, fortunately, the censor left enough details in the document to identify the suspicious party who, as it turns out, was none other than Wirt Walker III, a distant cousin to then-president G W Bush.
Thanks, first time I recall this detail coming out.

That's because it is.
I've been waiting on an article like the above since 9/11.
As a trader there is no such thing as an anonymous trade.
The whole article's an eye opener. No wonder the FBI is trying to fire him, hurt him.
