30 Shocking Quotes About The Gulf Of Mexico Oil Spill That Reveal The Soul-Crushing Horror This Disaster Is Causing
It is incredibly hard to put into words the absolute horror that is happening in the Gulf of Mexico right now. The millions of gallons of oil that have gushed into the Gulf of Mexico and BP’s efforts to fight the massive leak are turning the Gulf into a lifeless toxic stew of oil and chemicals. The damage caused to wildlife in the Gulf by this spill will be incalculable. Entire species are at risk of being wiped out. Scientists are telling us that the primary dispersant being used by BP ruptures red blood cells and causes fish to bleed. This is by far the greatest environmental disaster in U.S. history, and there is no end in sight. It is a worse environmental and economic disaster than all of the hurricanes of the past ten years combined. The great wetlands and beaches along the Gulf of Mexico will never be the same in our lifetimes. The seafood and tourism industries in the Gulf are being completely destroyed. The thousands of jobs and businesses being wiped out by this disaster could potentially throw the entire Gulf coast region into a depression. The damage already caused by this oil spill is beyond measure and yet the government tells us that up to 19,000 barrels (798,000 gallons) of oil a day continue to flow into the Gulf of Mexico.
Federal officials have expanded the “no fishing” area in the Gulf of Mexico to 75,920 square miles. That is 31 percent of all federal waters in the Gulf. As the oil continues to spread out there may soon be nowhere to fish.
And the oil is starting to come ashore in more places. Red-brown oil was found on Alabama’s Dauphin Island on Tuesday. As Gulf coast residents slowly watch this oil destroy everything around them they are starting to realize that this is it.
Life along the Gulf of Mexico will simply never be the same again.

If this doesn’t wake them up out of their “American Idol”/”Faux News” stupor, I don’t know what will!
#6) Carol Browner, Barack Obama’s adviser on energy and climate:
“This is probably the biggest environmental disaster we have ever faced in this country. It is certainly the biggest oil spill and we are responding with the biggest environmental response.”
WHAT A TOTAL LIE! If they were responding “with the biggest environmental response” then TOXIC Corexit would not be allowed by the EPA and Kevin Costner’s and other companies’ centrifugal oil separators would have been on the scene from DAY ONE as well as all of BP’s idle Supertankers that could have sucked up most of this oil and kept it under control. They could have used “Oil Sponge” instead of toxic COrexit that soaks up the oil and turns it into biodegradable matter that is non toxic to marine life. They KNOW ABOUT ALL OF THESE THINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!They REFUSE TO USE THEM because they are PURPOSELY DESTROYING THE GULF. “The devil comes only to kill, to steal and to destroy……” John 10:10
