OBAMA DELIVERS KNOCKOUT PUNCH TO LA ECONOMY PDF Print E-mail
Written by Jeff Crouere

Since the Deepwater Horizon well explosion on April 20, the long suffering people of Louisiana have had to deal with the worst environmental disaster in our nation’s history. The massive oil gusher has continued unabated for 46 days, while various attempts to stop the flow have failed. Common sense solutions to this crisis have been rejected and bureaucrats from the federal government and British Petroleum have made matters much worse.

Simple ideas such as building island barriers next to our coast have become embroiled in red tape and decisions have been delayed for weeks. Today, no barriers have been constructed and no effective mechanism is being deployed to stop the onslaught of oil. Instead of using oil tankers or even barges to siphon the oil from the Gulf, the two headed monster of British Petroleum and the federal government is relying on booms, toxic dispersants and skimmer ships.

 

As usual, there is confusion and mixed signals as this disaster unfolds. According to Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser there is no chain of command in dealing with this disaster. The real losers are the people of South Louisiana. The CEO of British Petroleum, Tony Hayward, complained in an interview that he wants “his life back,” but what about the families of the eleven rig workers who died and the thousands of fisherman in South Louisiana who are now unemployed? They are being impacted much more than any spoiled corporate executive.

 

Our seafood industry is now destroyed and many other jobs are threatened. This week the popular Grand Isle Tarpon Rodeo was cancelled. There is no guarantee the event will return next year, especially with the long term impact of the of the oil spill a big question mark. Many small businesses in Grand Isle and throughout South Louisiana have been forced out of business because of this disaster. 

 

At this point, the emphasis should be on how to help the state of Louisiana, not inflict further damage. Unfortunately, President Obama is declaring war on our economy by his short sighted decision to ban all offshore drilling for the next six months. This misguided effort will please radical environmentalists who hate our oil industry, but it will cost the hard working people of Louisiana dearly. At least 20,000 jobs will be lost because of this ban and many of them will never return to the state.  The State of Louisiana will lose millions of dollars in revenue, thus making our budget crisis even worse.

 

The President wants to stop drilling until his blue ribbon commission presents their findings about the accident. However, as we wait for the investigation to conclude, Louisiana will suffer even more.

 

Governor Bobby Jindal was not pleased by the decision noting that it is coming at “one of the most challenging economic periods in decades.” The moratorium is in place for at least six months, but it may extend for a longer period. This will not only harm Louisiana’s economy, but it will lead to higher energy costs across the nation and further diminish our nation’s efforts to become energy self sufficient. According to Jindal, “The last thing we need is to enact public policies that will certainly destroy thousands of existing jobs while preventing the creation of thousands more.” Even Louisiana U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu, a staunch Obama supporter, is opposed to an offshore drilling ban and is asking the President to “adjust this moratorium.”

 

Once again, a state that has provided so much to our nation is being unfairly targeted by the federal government. Our state does not deserve this type of treatment and we should not stand for it any longer. This disaster was at first greeted with indifference, then inaction and now inept decisions threaten our economy, our way of life and our future.

OBAMA DELIVERS KNOCKOUT PUNCH TO LA ECONOMY

This thread discusses the Content article: OBAMA DELIVERS KNOCKOUT PUNCH TO LA ECONOMY

I submit that this entire incident was no accident but a deliberate act of terrorism against the entire Gulf Coast region and by extension the country and world.

There are several motives for this attack. Land grab, promotion of political agendas, population reduction, and the setting-up of a call for Martial Law and a permanent tyrannical state.

Testimony already given has implicated several people that should have already been detained, but in fact have remained not only at large, but still maintain positions within private and government concerns that are still overseeing this crime and therefore are in control of the continued cover-up and perpetuation of it.

Testimony and investigations have unveiled the very real probability of foreknowledge of this event.

Goldman Sacks selling 44% of their BP stock just days prior.

Hayward selling 1.4 million of his shares just days prior.

Halliburtin's surprise purchase of Boots & Coots, the regions largest oil clean-up company a week before the incident.

Unprecedented visit of workers no one knew just hours before the explosion performing undocumented work.

That they would use substandard equipment on an experimental well and have numerous and unprecedented calls of BP executives overriding engineers serious concerns.

Than there's the total control afterward of all media and the outlandish and continued lying. There's also the complete serious lack of any effort, both from BP and our federal government in the containment and clean-up effort. We now have an army of corporate thugs occupying our coastal waters and land denying citizens access to public lands.

Who benefits? BP due to Obama's ruling will wind-up being the only oil company left in the region as others pull up stacks, perhaps to go to Brazil to work the fields Obama just gave money to for exploration in cahoots with his good friend Soros.

BP benefits from this also for it breathes new life into the Carbon Trading scam that was largely dead in the water after the failure of Copenhagen. BP was making as much, if not more money off this scam than they were oil. This "accident" helps them tremendously.

This also hold true for Obama's Cap & Trade Carbon Tax. Every since this happened he has been using this incident as an excuse to push this Draconian tax.

Lastly this act of war is against humanity itself in that it furthers the cause of those in high places that are died-in-the-wool eugenicists. Their goal of population reduction, some say by as much as 99%, gets a big boost here by destroying a large segment of food production.

This is not some wild conspiracy theory but a matter of fact. Holdren, Obama's "science czar" has written books on population reduction. Those that own BP and the elites of the world that they conspire with at places such as the Bilderberg meetings, Bohemia Grove, and the recent G-20 meetings among other secret clubs and organizations are on record as being eugenicists.

Motive and opportunity. They have every means and every reason to create a false-flag event of this kind to further their evil agenda.

There are those of you that will dismiss what I'm saying as the rantings of a conspiracy nut. You will refuse to believe that elements within our government could be this evil.

I would counter that the graveyards of the world are filled with people that didn't believe that as they were lined up to be lead into gas chambers as the ash of burning bodies filled the air above them didn't believe that either.

As an example of a long sustained attack against the people of this country by our government I submit the use of Sodium Fluoride in our drinking water. Fluoride, a byproduct of the aluminum manufacturing industry, was first used on prisoners in the Russian gulags and Nazi concentration camps, yes good old fluoride, one of their most insidious of lies, " ... its for the children ...," yeah, sodium-fluoride, the same stuff they used on prisoners in their concentration camps, is somehow "good" for our children now ... right, okay, they burned people alive, but they cared about their teeth?

As the tyrants of those regimes experimented with different drugs on prisoners they discovered that fluoride has the immediate effect of reducing the IQ and average of 20-points and it made the prisoners more docile and easier to handle. In addition to its long term effects of being an accumulative poison that attacks every major organ in your body reducing immune systems, causing bone deterioration, and sterility.

Yet our government promotes the use of this substance in our water. Leave aside the fact that its a poison, I wouldn't care if it was a wonder drug that made you live forever in perfect health, one has to ask this fundamental question; What right does our government have to medicate us with anything?

I bring this up as an example that we have been under attack for some time and that this so-called accident goes a long way in fulling the aspirations of those within government and industry that want a more "controlled" world.

These are some hard truths to have to face. Not everyone is going to have the courage to investigate these claims or believe them. But you do so at your own peril. While we still can those of us that have the courage to face these truths must act now and demand State criminal investigations into the activities of those involved. For those that have been planning this have been doing so for a long, long time, and are near the completion of their ultimate goal. And if we don't start hauling them into courts in handcuffs I can promise you this will only get worse, much worse, and a lot sooner than anyone thinks. From information I have received through my investigations indicate that come August the second phase of this terrorist attack will happen and it will make all that's happened before it pale in comparison.

The DHS's National Incident Management System is a joke and has proven itself time and again to be inadequate for all but the most minor of situations. Every day that the Feds waste obstructing state and local initiative South Louisiana moves closer to utter destruction. If the Federal government will not or cannot lead in this crisis then it must get out of the way. If we are to avoid complete devastation then Governor Jindal must seize the reigns and assume incident command.
Some will say this is impolitic; they will say that it breaches protocol, or even that it is illegal. So what!?! This is a matter of life and death for our State. Any law or regulation that requires us to sit back and gawk at our demise, or otherwise just roll over and die, is emphatically an unjust law, and an unjust law is no law at all!
Therefore, as the duly elected chief executive and commander and chief of the sovereign State of Louisiana, Bobby Jindal has a moral and legal obligation under the Tenth Amendment, Our State Constitution, and the eternal Law of Nature to do everything in his power to save us from the Federal government's seemingly intentional neglect. If federal officials will not relinquish control then the Governor must push them aside.
