THE DOUBLE STANDARD

US Congressional BP hearings, posture and theatre confirms that which everybody throughout the world knows already, namely, BP and ALL PRIVATE energy corporations are greedy, irresponsible, unsafe, arrogant, exploitative, opportunistic, redundant, unnecessary parasites and bastards operating with reckless and feckless impunity and impervious abandonment throughout the globe.
Here and abroad.
NOTHING DONE about it.
NO assets seized, nationalized, here or elsewhere.
NO PENALTIES!
Just the opposite!
So, FUCK YOU ALL AND DROWN IN YOUR OIL!
Furthermore, ALL BP and BP CEO horror and negatives attributed by Congress ARE THE VERY SAME ONES FOR CITIGROUP, MORGAN STANLEY AND ALL PRIVATE FINANCIAL CORPORATIONS RESPONSIBLE FOR GLOBAL ECONOMIC MELTDOWN BUT INSTEAD NOW RECEIVE STATE SUBSIDIES, TARP, STIMULUS MONIES, ETC.
NO accountability, NO responsibility, NO liquidation, NO criminal prosecution, NO asset seizures, NO penalties, NO POLICY CHANGE, NO NOTHING!
Instead, they are REWARDED with MORE FUNDS!!
So, why should BP be any different??
The ONLY difference is/was one of style.
US companies go through obligatory public Congressional sessions showing themselves to be contrite, humble, mea culpa, apologists, demonstrating themselves good, cooperative citizens, etc.
BP was more honest.
BP's CEO, Tony Hayward, advised by lawyers NOT to say anything incriminating, no doubt, nonetheless, in haughtiness, arrogance, supreme aristocratic style, as I commented in my post below, clearly took great umbrage and offense at being dragged by lowly riff raff through a public flogging in a US Congressional court.
He stood his ground firmly, giving NO help, NO fig leaf to assuage and assure lowly commoners and public opinion, flaunting open contempt of Congress.
No hypocrisy there.
CLASS reigns SUPREME, CLEAR.
Tony Hayward is more consistent and honest than our SUPINE, GUTLESS, HYPOCRITICAL GOVERNMENT, POLITICAL SLAVES, PUPPETS, HIRED HELP, CARPETBAGGERS, PROSTITUTES AND SCUMBAGS who serve at the pleasure of their NAZI corporate paymasters!
Tony Hayward won.
And BP for the same reason.
$20 Billion is merely expedient political hush and slush money.

Another fact confirmed, however.
I had PLENTY of previous posts reputing mythological peak theory versus deep generated oil and gas and its A-BIOTIC (anti/non biologic) origins deep within the earth's mantel, core.
It is visually evident now as enormous pressures from deep within the earths mantel cause crude oil at BP's well to bubble, spew forth and percolate uncontrollably.
Thus, as I have RE-asserted over and over, theoretically, one can drill most ANYWHERE on earth's surface, land or water, and eventually strike oil and/or gas, provided one drills deep enough.
The reason all energy companies are in deep offshore waters pertains NOT to scarcity, but, to profitability factors, low taxes, royalties, little or no oversight, jurisdiction, etc.
On the above note regarding offshore gas drilling, Israel's ubiquitous Nochi Dankner, about whom I've written much in terms of "Who Owns Israel"(*link below*), is in the news, again, along with other notorious connections, regarding offshore Israel gas licensing:

Meanwhile, in Turkey and Iraq more disgusting developments which characterize this entire nauseating, sickening global FASCIST/NAZI counter revolutionary project.
Turkey's royal OTTOMAN descendants sue for restoration of "their" previous property!
