The Oil Disaster Is Really 11 Counts of Homicide-Where's The Arrests?

THE DOCTOR IS IN
_________________

LAS VEGAS- Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

Just a follow up on my articles on the Gulf oil disaster.In my early articles on this matter I referred to the BP fiasco as an oil spill most of the time, but I have to clearly upgrade this situation as a disaster and a catastrophe. This environmental disaster no way resembles an oil spill.

Right now we have the Obama administration still relying on British Petroleum for the solution. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar states that BP is cooperating with the administration and says "If we find that they are not doing what they are supposed to do, we'll push them out of the way appropriately ." Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano also took a milk toast, soft, mushy approach to the disaster and said: "We continue to hold British Petroleum responsible...but we are on them, watching them ." Wow! BP is being watched. Big deal. Still, the Coast Guards Admiral said that their organization cannot handle the task of stopping the leak, The head honcho of that service said the Coast Guard is not equipped for a catastrophe like this nor do they have the knowledge or expertise to handle it and he wants BP to continue to be in charge saying they have the people and experience to stop the oil gusher. Once again, BP is the fox in the hen house while the administration is running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Like I stated previously,- Cut BP loose. Do not depend on them. Give the government the task of solving this disaster using our Navy and NASA and private sources and institutions that are adept dealing with oceanographic situations.

Big oil suggests that they want to use more cement to close the massive oil discharge beneath the sea but it is a proven and recorded fact that Halliburton (Dick Cheney's baby) who is doing most all of these cement jobs has failed miserably in servicing and/or protecting oil wells around the world. They do not have the where with all to cement the wells and still politicians, groups and supporters of big oil let them continue to do the cement work.

Folks, this disaster should never be referred to as a spill. Call it what it is. It is a HOMICIDE resulting in a devastating environmental disaster.

I have worked in law enforcement for years and dealt with most every type of crime you can imagine and I think that this obscene corporate negligence and the homicides should have been addressed from day one of the explosion by our administration and the justice department.

If this disaster was investigated as a crime (homicide) from the start it would be shown in a different light by know. If the investigators were turned loose, just the act of following and gathering information as to the homicides would have shown who did what and when, and who knew what and when. The interviews that should have been conducted by homicide investigators would have brought to light the facts as they may have occurred. The criminal homicide investigation would clarify any responsibility as the investigation progressed.

I have said before, where are the subpoenas? The justice department and the administration want to look at this matter as an "accident" when they should have initiated a homicide investigation to begin with.

This inaction on the part of the administration only reinforces the view that they are not really interested in resolving these homicides. If they fail to address this situation as a homicide it will be much more difficult to get to the true and clear facts of responsibility. It may takes years before all of the facts come out but if the deaths were investigated as a homicide the big picture would become much clearer, much faster.

Many of these oil companies, their CEO's and employees will cover and duck. They will have sufficient time to possibly shred and dispose of valuable documents and muddy the oil slick legal waters with a cover up so as to avoid any possibility of prosecution.

If I were in charge you can bet that there would have been subpoenas issued for the CEO's, oil executives, supervisors and employees as soon as those eleven oil workers were killed. There would not have been any political theater being played out as is being done now.


I say that Obama and his administration is a a day late and a dollar short. As I wrote in previous articles, the government should have been in charge of this disaster from the get go. I wonder how long Obama and his White House will allow British Petroleum to be in charge. Obama allowing BP to continue to call the shots is like a snake eating it's own tail.

British Petroleum is still taking meager measures to stop the oil. These are the bad guys that with the blessing of our lawmakers got us into this mess. They are destroying our environment and ecosystem each and every second of the day.

Everyone knows the old saying: "Don't fool with Mother Nature." However, our money grabbing politicians lusting for contributions closed their eyes, held their nose and gave a blank check to Mega oil to do whatever the oil companies wanted to do to our nature and environment. My view is that "if we destroy mother nature, we destroy ourselves. With that said, it is happening and happening now.

I would suggest that the administration and its justice department get off their duff, issue the proper subpoenas to all involved in these homicides and turn the homicide investigators loose so they can document the facts and actions of all the individuals responsible. The justice department should arrest and jail the perpetrators even while the oil disaster is being addressed. I would say that a two track solution could be accomplished at the same time. That being, seal the well and arrest the suspects for homicide.- And, that's my opinion. People, draw your own conclusions. You decide.
