Say Goodbye to the Ocean

If it's true that millions upon millions of gallons of crude oil are flooding the Gulf with no end in sight, the massive oil slicks being created could make their way into the Gulf Stream currents, which would carry them not only up the East Coast but around the world where they could absolutely destroy the global fishing industries."

Fish oil purity
Purity of fish oil is also an important issue which one must pay attention to. Fish oil is obtained from fresh water, farm, ocean, deep sea and shallow sea fish. All these fish can be contaminated with toxic compounds such as mercury, arsenic, lead, forms of calcium, furans, dioxins, PCBs, and methyl mercury, and may affect the human body. Therefore, the fish oil should be pure. Many companies also sell ultra refined fish oil or distilled fish oil, but you should always check if the standards have been followed.

ABC News outfitted a diving team with special hazmat suits and sent them to the Gulf to see the damage the oil leak and subsequent cleanup are causing underwater. They found that the leaking oil is combining with the cleanup chemicals to form a toxic soup.

"Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind"

We cannot live without life in the oceans. Man is arrogant to drill so deeply into the belly of Mother Earth, and through this arrogance, we may have just set in motion events that will ultimately destroy us. In the future, we may in fact talk about life on Earth as "pre-spill" versus "post-spill." Because a post-spill world may be drowned in oil, devoid of much ocean life, and suffering a global extinction event that will crash the human population by 90 percent or more.

We may have just done to ourselves, in other words, what a giant meteorite did to the dinosaurs.

It's been predicted that this will be a bad year for hurricanes. Just imagine what will happen when this oil is brought inland by storm surges and which way in the Gulf it will go. Even if the gusher is stopped that oil will still be there.

During  Katrina the storm surge was up to 27 feet high and was pushed inland for up to 10 miles in some places in Louisiana and Mississippi. I can't imagine that happening with oil.

Things are a whole lot worse than the media is letting on. The ocean is dying and nothing is being done to stop it.
Those responsible must be brought to justice, as just with the dropping of litter on American streets can see a person facing prosecution.
Sad times that we live in.

The NewsJunkiePost.com interviewed owners of a seafood packing plant in Mississippi. Before the April 20, BP oil rig explosion, the plant — Crystal Seas Seafoods — used to ship about 1 million pounds of oysters and shrimp a month to the US and Canada. But, that has changed.
When the NJP last interviewed Crystal Seas, one of the managers said that half of her workers were going to be laid off due to lack of work. The packing plant employs over 120 people. The other half were probably going to be let go as well if the product didn’t come in.
The government has closed off miles of catching areas where fishermen worked. Without the ability to catch the product, there is no work for the workers at Crystal Seas Seafoods and at other seafood companies along the Gulf.

So far, the spill has hurt everything in and along the Gulf of Mexico, including:
1) Fishermen and their families
2) Sea life: oysters, shrimp, fis More..h, turtles, dolphins…
3) Businesses that pack and sell seafood in four states: Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, and Louisiana.
4) The restaurant and tourism industry
5) Marshes and other delicate ecosystems
6) The health of residents living near the contaminated waters
7) The morale of men and women who work at other oil rig

SICK OF THE SPILL
Already a number of fishermen and their crews have gotten sick from being exposed to the crude and its fumes. It’s important to note that this unprocessed crude contains poisonous gases and hydrocarbons such a benzene, which is highly toxic and a carcinogen.

Now that BP's "top kill" solution has failed and oil continues to pour into the Gulf of Mexico at a nightmarish pace, many people are wondering how bad things are ultimately going to get.  The truth is that the United States has never experienced an oil spill of this magnitude, and environmentalists are telling us that we are literally witnessing the final hours of the cherished ecosystems along the Gulf Coast.  Now, BP managing director Robert Dudley has come right out and admitted that it is possible that the oil flow from the leak will not completely stop until sometime in August.  If this leak does not stop until August, then life in the Gulf of Mexico and along the Gulf Coast will never be the same again during our lifetimes.  It is hard to even try to describe how much of a national tragedy this is.  The Gulf of Mexico oil spill is now far, far, far worse than Hurricane Katrina in terms of the lasting damage that it will cause.  

It is hard to even put into words how horrific this disaster is.  But the more one looks into this oil leak, the worse it gets.  In fact, there are a number of things that have recently come out about this leak that are beyond alarming.  The following are 10 of the most disturbing facts that have recently come out about the Gulf of Mexico oil spill....

#1) Transocean, the firm hired by BP to operate the Deepwater Horizon offshore drilling rig, has just announced that it will distribute $1 billion in dividends to shareholders even as oil continues to pour into the Gulf of Mexico.

#2) Not only that, but Transocean also says it will make a $270 million profit on the insurance policy for the rig.

#3) A dire report prepared for Russian President Medvedev by Russia’s Ministry of Natural Resources is warning that the dispersal agent being used by BP in the Gulf of Mexico is about to cause the worst environmental catastrophe in all of human history.

#4) In fact, a large number of fishermen have already reported becoming seriously ill - and many of them believe that the chemicals that BP is using in the Gulf are to blame.  

#5) Matt Simmons, an energy adviser to former president George W. Bush, recently went on national television and claimed that "there's another leak, much bigger, 5 to 6 miles away" from the leaking riser and blowout preventer which everyone has been watching on the underwater cameras.

#6) Prominent oceanographers are pointing the finger at the Obama administration of failing to conduct an adequate scientific analysis of the damage from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and of allowing BP to purposely deceive the public about the spill's true scope.

#7) Scientists are now telling us that the first oil from the Gulf of Mexico spill has entered an ocean current that could take it over to Florida and up the east coast of the United States.

#8) One oil industry expert is saying that oil could pour into the Gulf of Mexico for up to 9000 days if the leak is not sealed.

#9) Local shrimpers in Louisiana are estimating that it will be seven years before they can set to sea again.

#10) In a very sick twist, some Internet gambling websites are now placing odds on what species will be first to become extinct as a result of all the oil flowing from BP's ruptured well in the Gulf of Mexico.
