Just when you think the U.S. Government can't get any Lower along with BP - they manage to submerge themselves More!
How did the Government become such Tools for Big Oil? How did it get this way? How did the government stop becoming what is best for the people and only what is best for Big Business?
Video of Commercial Fishermen, saying seafood is NOT safe from the Gulf and how the Government and BP wants the fishermen to sign waivers saying the fishermen are the responsible party for any seafood that is toxic that goes on the market. The FDA is saying it is safe..... they are ONLY doing a smell test - no real testing is being done for toxins etc. The fishermen want toxic testing done.
Also, BP has not been paying the fishermen as they said they would.

China - Floods - Land Fissures - 30000 now Trapped in a Town - Three Gorges Dam - It is a Horrible Ongoing Situation in China!
UPDATE - 8/02/10 - New Problems at Three Gorges Dam - Trash is piling up behind the dam and can jam the hydroelectric part, Chinese officials have stated.
UPDATE - 8/2/10 - Over 7000 Chemical Barrels had gone into the river, over 3000 of them contained explosive chemicals and 3000 were empty. The Chinese authorities have not said how many they have collected as of yet.
UPDATE - 7/28/10 Here are some pictures of the Flooding of the city Jilin - China - which trapped 30,000 people.
The picture above is showing some of the 1000 barrels of explosive chemicals washed into the river from containers. The Chinese authorities have said the river has tested clean and the chemicals are not a problem. But as we all know, authorities don't always tell the truth.
China has been having the Worst Flooding imaginable over the last month. I have been updating what is going on at the Three Gorges Dam and the Water against it, everyday.
Three Gorges Updates
MY ORIGINAL RESEARCH OF THE THREE GORGES DAM - Extensive research about the Three Gorges Dam and the Problems with it.
Today besides the Update on the Three Gorges Dam, the flooding around China is Horrendous! There is now a town that 30000 are trapped in China's Jilin province, due to the Flooding.
Besides the Flooding, there are Earth Fissures popping up in Central China's Hunan province!
Pictures are at the above link.
China is having an amazing amount of Flooding problems with over 800 now dead, hundreds missing and the rain keeps pouring. But the land fissures mean something is happening with the Earth and there is movement of it. Is all of this ultimately from the Three Gorges Dam?
Once you read the Original research I did, the possibility is there that the Three Gorges Dam is the catalyst for all the rain and land movement happening. The weight of the water being held back is not natural, due to the dam with that the weather has changed and that weight could be causing the problems elsewhere. Sounds outrageous? Read the Research!
The garbage is so thick in parts of the river that people can walk on the surface, reports said.
Nearly three tonnes of refuse are collected from the dam every day, but operators are struggling with inadequate manpower and equipment as rubbish accumulates more quickly due to rain-triggered floods, the China Daily reported.
UPDATE - 8/2/10 - Over 7000 Chemical Barrels had gone into the river, over 3000 of them contained explosive chemicals and 3000 were empty. The Chinese authorities have not said how many they have collected as of yet.
A total of 3,662 barrels were filled with colorless and highly explosive chemicals - mainly trimethyl chloro silicane and hexamethyl disilazane - and 3,476 others were empty.
However, water quality tests showed the Songhua River, a major drinking source for millions in the region, had not been contaminated, said officials with the Jilin provincial government.
In a similar accident Friday, 1,500 sealed drums containing oil, resin and fertilizer sunk in floodwaters in the Central China city of Wuhan, on the Yangtze River.
But all the drums had been safely recovered and the water quality of the Yangtze River was not affected.
UPDATE - 7/28/10 Here are some pictures of the Flooding of the city Jilin - China - which trapped 30,000 people.
The picture above is showing some of the 1000 barrels of explosive chemicals washed into the river from containers. The Chinese authorities have said the river has tested clean and the chemicals are not a problem. But as we all know, authorities don't always tell the truth.

Press Not Allowed to Take Pictures of Michigan Oil Spill! Our Police under control of Private Businesses when it comes to Oil!
I am So sick of this! What has Happened to our Freedom of Press, Speech and Information?! In Michigan the Press is not allowed to take pictures of the Oil Spill there. The police are under control of the Oil company responsible for it! How is this happening? They are even closing down the roads that run along the Kalamazoo River, so people won't be able to see the oil and damage it is causing.
Down in the Gulf our Military, Police and Government as a Whole has been under the control of BP regarding the Oil Volcano there! Now a replay is happening in Michigan regarding the 840,000 barrels of oil that has spilled in the Kalamazoo River.
Someone had flown over it, right after it happened, here is the video:
This Happens in Communist Countries, not supposedly Free Countries!

A MUST READ Jim Willie Article - About U.S. Debt, Treasuries, Gold and How MERS is Fraud!
This article from Jim Willie, puts everything together! The fact the U.S. is monetizing the debt through the Treasury bonds is obvious! How the U.S. Treasury Bonds are some how selling better and more than ever, than before, yet those buying it are "other investors". He also states MERS is complete Fraud in the article!
He literally discuss everything going on with the U.S. and what is really happening, including China and other countries, are stopping buying the U.S. debt and buying Gold.
No matter what the U.S. MSM says and the Government says, the truth is in the numbers and when those are looked at closely, what is really happening is figured out.
There are other signs too - including LBMA - is closing it's data bank info on bullion purchases and information about Gold, as of last week. They are now going to hide the information, due to those who look at it and see the truth through the numbers.
Also, China a couple of months ago, decoupled from the U.S. dollar, though it was still pegged to the dollar. Now, they are saying they are going to no longer peg it to the dollar either. They will be pegging it to a basket of currencies. That means, they know something, we don't about the dollar and what is going on.
Then we have this article about the U.S. dollar and the expectations, due to the charts and indexes of it falling much more within days.
China came out and said the U.S. is insolvent and is going to go bankrupt, last week.
The simple fact of the matter is...... the U.S. is bankrupt, the government has been printing money to buy the treasuries, they have been buying them through the U.K. which has mysteriously come up with billions and billions of dollars to buy the treasuries and has tripled their purchases this year, yet no real source where the money is coming from.
From the Jim Willie Article linked above:
This category supposedly purchased $15 billion worth of USTreasurys in 2008, then jumped with ink jet assist (printing press) in 3Q2009 to a staggering $528.7 billion in purchases, a 35-fold increase. The Household is on track to buy $704 billion worth in all fiscal 2009. The bottom line is a shocker! What is the Household Sector? It is a combination of miscellaneous, ledger adjustments, and blatant monetization. Sprott calls it a PHANTOM that does not exist, but serves the purpose to balance the ledger in the US Federal Reserve Flow of Funds report. In the past, this ledger item was calculated as residuals, securities on loan across groups, even inclusive of rounding error. The monetization is no longer hidden. He concludes that USTreasurys have become one giant Ponzi scheme, just like Bill Gross of PIMCO quipped. This is a smoking gun.
Many, including myself had expected for the fraud to come to light long ago, but in my opinion, due to the Mainstream Media looking the other way and never bringing attention to it, as they do as the government wants, they have been able to continue the Ponzi and Fraud schemes, including the constant manipulation of the metals market.
But, is it now coming to a fast end, due to other countries being totally fed up with the fraud from the U.S.?
Ask yourself these questions.... how is it the stock market is able to go up without any real recovery and the lowest trades, what fraud has been committed there? Why is it at 9am for the last couple of weeks, the metals are all hit and sink in price on no news? Is this the last desperate attempts to scare people out of the metals and the worst hits come on option expiration days? There are thousands of questions that can be asked and by asking them, you will see the data does not make sense to what is going on.
So, all anyone can do, is protect yourself in all ways.... getting out of the markets, buying Metals and buying commodities that can get you through what is going to be coming very soon. The can has been kicked down the street for a few years now, but it has hit the Large Looming Metal Wall and it can't go further. The problem is.... most are asleep to that fact, but won't be able to be asleep for much longer.
If you want to read a very chilling article out today - The Death of Paper Money - it is about what happened in Germany and what is about to happen here. What I did not know and just learned through the article, is ... Germany passed a law during the time of hyperinflation there, that linked the price of gold to loans taken out previously, so the loan amounts went up as the price of gold did! That I did not know. So, will the U.S. government also pass such a law? So, the loans we have right now, will go up in what we owe as gold goes up, thus people can not get out of debt if they protected themselves? So does that mean, there may be a very short time frame of those who have purchased metals to pay off their loans, before some outrageous law is passed that of course protects the banks and not the people?

Toxic Air around the Gulf - Flight showing air has something in it!
Toxic air around the Gulf Coast. This guy has done numerous flights
over the oil, shows there is something in the air, besides people saying
the rain burns around the Gulf. Remember the EPA said the air was fine
after 9/11, though they knew it was not and there was asbestos in the
air besides other things. Since then many who worked on the clean up are dead and most others have breathing problems and Cancer...
The Government needs to tell the truth, but I won't hold my breath for that.
I have put up information on my other blog about Dengue Fever happening around Florida and the history of Dengue Fever, with the CIA using it as a Biological Warfare virus. But questioning, is it Dengue Fever or is it Toxins from the Oil Leak/Volcano.

EPA Whistleblower Says Oil is Poisoning Millions from Oil - Besides a Report/Rumor Obama told G20 Millions Will Most LikelyDie from Oil.
EPA Whistleblower talked to Democracy Now and said Millions are being poisoned from the Oil and are Bleeding internally.
Portion:
Also a Report/rumor that Obama told G20 Leaders that millions will most likely die from the Oil.
A sobering report circulating in the Kremlin today from President Medvedev’s meeting with other World leaders at the G8 summit in Muskoka, Ontario states that President Obama has warned his counterparts that the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster “will most likely kill millions, perhaps tens of millions” of people during the coming year.
If any of the above is true, then Why the Hell is this Govt. and media NOT being honest with the people of the U.S and Gulf region?! People could then take the steps to Save their Own Lives and get out of the area....if they knew the truth of the air and poisons of the Gulf! It is so sickening that this Government will let people die in place, instead of telling them there is a Real problem!
Portion:
... \we have dolphins that are hemorrhaging. People who work near it are hemorrhaging internally. And that’s what dispersants are supposed to do... Congressman Markey and Nadler, as well as Senator Mikulski, have been heroes... Mark Kaufman, EPA whistleblower, Democracy Now!
Poisoning millions of people
In its report, EPA Whistleblower Accuses Agency of Covering Up Effects of Dispersant in BP Oil Spill Cleanup, Democracy Now! states that "many lawmakers and advocacy groups say the Obama administration is not being candid about the lethal effects of dispersants," so Amy Goodman interviewed Hugh Kaufman, a senior policy analyst at the EPA’s Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response and a leading critic of the decision to use Corexit" who disclosed how the officials are lying about many things related to the catastrophe poisoning "millions of people." (Listen: Real Audio Strea or MP3 Download)
The rushed transcript includes Kaufman saying, "And I think the media now has to follow the money, just as they did in Watergate, and tell the American people who’s getting money for poisoning the millions of people in the Gulf. (Emphasis added)

Fueling Obama’s dire assessment of this “Gulf Apocalypse”, this report says, are the oil and toxic rains now being reported to be falling throughout the US Gulf Coast region due to the fracturing of the Gulf of Mexico seafloor allowing untold millions of gallons of oil and millions of cubic feet of methane gas to escape unchecked into our World’s seventh largest body of water, not
to mention the millions of gallons of dangerous disbursements being
used that is poisoning everything in its path.

So dangerous has the Gulf Coast environment become to human beings the United States Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a warning that, in part,
says: “People,
including pregnant women, can be exposed to these chemicals by
breathing them (air), by swallowing them (water, food), or by touching
them (skin). If possible, everyone, including pregnant women, should
avoid the oil and spill-affected areas.”

With nearly 20 million American’s living along the affected Gulf Coast region one wonders where they
could all go and leaving many to speculate a massive evacuation is
being planned by the US Government of the entire region.

I am Lovin It! Goldman Sachs Out In Europe And 82% DROP In Revenues Last Quarter! YEAH - I hope it is the Start of the TAKE DOWN of Goldman Sachs!
I LOVE the 2 news articles out about Goldman Sachs!!
First Goldman Sach's Revenue was DOWN by 82% this last quarter!
Net income fell to $613 million, or 78 cents a share, from $3.44 billion, or $4.93, a year earlier, New York-based Goldman Sachs said in a statement today.
Love the Article above... Now today it comes out that Europe is Freezing OUT Goldman Sachs!!
Small portion:
First Goldman Sach's Revenue was DOWN by 82% this last quarter!
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said second-quarter profit dropped 82 percent, missing analysts’ estimates on a slide in trading revenue five days after settling U.S. regulators’ fraud allegations.
Love the Article above... Now today it comes out that Europe is Freezing OUT Goldman Sachs!!
Small portion:
European governments are turning their backs on Goldman Sachs, the all-conquering investment bank that has suffered a series of blows to its reputation, capped by the biggest ever fine imposed on a Wall Street firm.
According to data from Dealogic, Greece, Spain, France and Italy have all denied the bank a lead role in their recent sovereign bond sales.
Last Thursday, Goldman agreed to pay a $550m fine to settle US regulators' claims that the bank misled investors in a mortgage-backed security. Goldman admitted that its marketing materials were incomplete, because they failed to state that the same third party that helped choose the assets had taken a bet against them.
But governments have also been shocked at the emergence of past transactions between Goldman and Greece and Italy, where products the bank helped to sell aided both in hiding government debt. Greece, which used Goldman in a bond sale this year, is practically at war with the bank. A sharp contrast with the situation months before, when Goldman bankers dined with the prime minister in a private meeting overlooking the Acropolis. The relationship broke down, though, after news leaked earlier this year that Goldman was about to strike a bond sale deal with China's sovereign fund – which never materialised.
I hope this keeps going - Goldman Sachs Really Needs to be Taken DOWN! But the problem is they are the ones Running the U.S. Govt's Finances. All in the administration and the PRIVATE Bank of the Federal Reserve are Previous Goldman Sachs people. So Goldman Sachs will be Protected in Every way possible. So it may be up to the individual investors and other Governments to Hopefully Take them down by refusing to have anything to do with them. Will that day come? I can only Dream!
Adrian Douglas - Proof of Gold Manipulation - Price of Gold Should Be $54,000 Per Ounce! Also another Article - Massive Fraud in Silver!
Adrian Douglas has laid out the Price Manipulation of Gold, in doing so, he has said the Price should in effect be $54,000 per Ounce right now.
It is a shell game being played. He uses the analogy with Wine in place of Gold in explaining how it is done.
If people would take their physical Gold instead of accepting the paper gold it would be broken.
What I have found interesting is a report out today that over 6 Tonnes of Gold has decreased from the SPDR GLD fund. Does that mean people are getting out of paper and into physical? I hope so.
This Blog - Harvey Organ - does an Awesome job of letting us know what is going in and out of the Metal Comex warehouse. I highly suggest reading his blog, to keep up with the numbers and other information about Metals.
This information about the Silver Market - is a MUST READ! It is simply Outrageous the amount of manipulation of the Silver Market. The fact is 90% of all Silver has been used and the physical is not there. Silver is used in many industries and there is actually very little silver left. If you don't have Silver, it is advisable to buy some. Please Read this information.... Inventory Fraud Increases in Silver.

Three Gorges Dam about to have Most Water Ever Against it, coming down the Yangtze River!
UPDATE 7/28/10 - New Flood Surge Hits the Three Gorges - Video at link also.
UPDATE 7/27/10 - Wednesday, Flood Peak is going to be against the Three Gorges Dam. Now 823 Dead and 437 Missing from the Floods.
UPDATE 7/26/10 - More water is about to go against Dam, after a 3 day lull. The water is expected to exceed the previous high water amount behind it, as they brace for More Flooding.
UPDATE 7/24/10 - Officials keep changing how much water the Three Gorges Dam can Hold Back. First it was a 10000 year flood, then 1000 year floods, now 100 year floods. It is Still raining and more water is expected against the dam.
Portion of article:
UPDATE 7/23/10 - Floods leave 742 Dead 367 missing - 670000 homes wiped out - affecting 120 million
This is just horrible!
FYI - The most flood waters against the dam are expected today.
UPDATE 7/22/10 - Dam Holding back 40% of Flood Waters
The Dam is holding back 40% of the Flood waters from what this article above says. So, how much water is against it, putting pressure on it? Also something I am noticing of all the pictures released.... ONLY the side that is releasing water is shown, no picture shows how high the water is on the upper side of the dam.
UPDATE 7/22/10 - 701 People have been killed in the floods - 7 million hectares of Farm Land has been affected and 645000 homes have been destroyed! This is just sickening!
UPDATE 7/21/10 Three Gorges Holding UP - Most water expected against it on Friday.
UPDATE 7/20/10 China Closing Three Gorges Dam, Shipping Locks due to the Water level - highest Ever!
This is one previous post I have done about The Three Gorges Dam, and the original extensive Research I have done about it.
Updates on Three Gorges Dam
Just one Article out Today of Two about the Three Gorges Dam. Three Gorges Faces Biggest Challenge EVER.
The Three Gorges navigation administration said on Saturday it will close ship locks if floods gush in at a speed of up to 45,000 cubic meters a second.
There is an article today, saying the MOST amount of Water ever is about to go against the Three Gorges Dam, as all the flood waters are making their way down the Yangtze River.
Floodwater rushes through the sluice gates of the Three Gorges Dam in Yichang, central China's Hubei province on July 19, 2010. The reservoir's inflow rose up to 58,000 cubic meters a second at 8:00 am this morning, the highest this year. The Bureau of Hydrology of the Yangtze River Water Conservancy Commission predicts that the most horrible flood to date with the largest water gush at a speed of nearly 70,000 cubic meters a second is being brewed at the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. The China Three Gorges Corporation has stepped up its protective measures by escalating its sluicing to 40,000 cubic meters a second to brace for the largest flood since its operation. [Photo/Xinhua]
UPDATE 7/20/10 - Shortage of Funds stall Three Gorges Dam Ecological Plans for Three Gorges Dam
UPDATE 7/27/10 - Wednesday, Flood Peak is going to be against the Three Gorges Dam. Now 823 Dead and 437 Missing from the Floods.
UPDATE 7/26/10 - More water is about to go against Dam, after a 3 day lull. The water is expected to exceed the previous high water amount behind it, as they brace for More Flooding.
UPDATE 7/24/10 - Officials keep changing how much water the Three Gorges Dam can Hold Back. First it was a 10000 year flood, then 1000 year floods, now 100 year floods. It is Still raining and more water is expected against the dam.
Portion of article:
Seven years ago, Chinese officials boasted the dam could withstand floods so severe they come only once every 10,000 years.
But as the current flooding in central China _ especially along the country's largest river, the Yangtze _ shows no sign of waning, officials now warn the dam's capacity is limited.
Since the completion of the Three Gorges Dam in 2006, confidence in its flood capacity has diminished.
In 2007, officials said the dam could withstand the worst flood in 1,000 years.
Then on Tuesday, the Three Gorges Corporation's chairman, Cao Guangjing, told China Daily he can "absolutely guarantee" the dam can withstand the worst flood in 100 years.
UPDATE 7/23/10 - Floods leave 742 Dead 367 missing - 670000 homes wiped out - affecting 120 million
This is just horrible!
FYI - The most flood waters against the dam are expected today.
UPDATE 7/22/10 - Dam Holding back 40% of Flood Waters
The Dam is holding back 40% of the Flood waters from what this article above says. So, how much water is against it, putting pressure on it? Also something I am noticing of all the pictures released.... ONLY the side that is releasing water is shown, no picture shows how high the water is on the upper side of the dam.

UPDATE 7/21/10 Three Gorges Holding UP - Most water expected against it on Friday.
The discharge of the Three Gorges Dam was raised to 40,000 cubic meters every second at 10 am and will remain at that level for the coming days, Chen said.
"The peak flow is high, but it has not exceeded the designed capacity that can bear the flood flow of 98,800 cubic meters every second," he said.
On Tuesday, the water level of the dam reached 150 meters, about five meters higher than the warning level, China Central Television reported.
The maximum water level of the dam is expected to reach 158 meters on Friday and the water volume stored will reach seven billion cubic meters, according to authorities at the Yangtze River flood control headquarters.
This is one previous post I have done about The Three Gorges Dam, and the original extensive Research I have done about it.
Updates on Three Gorges Dam
Just one Article out Today of Two about the Three Gorges Dam. Three Gorges Faces Biggest Challenge EVER.
The China Three Gorges Corporation forecast that floods as huge as those in 1998 will occur.
The peak flow of the coming flood has been forecast at 70,000 cubic meters a second, greater than the 50,000 cubic meters a second during the flood in 1998, when 4,150 people were killed and 18.4 million residents evacuated.
At least 146 people have already been confirmed dead and 40 missing in 10 provinces and Chongqing municipality by Friday, after continuous rainstorms and floods in the areas since July 1, the Ministry of Civil Affairs said.
Heavy rains have inflated water flow at both the mainstream and tributaries of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, with inflow from the Minjiang, Tuojiang and Jialing rivers rising fast, said Wang Jun, director of the hydrology bureau under the Changjiang Water Resources Commission.
There is an article today, saying the MOST amount of Water ever is about to go against the Three Gorges Dam, as all the flood waters are making their way down the Yangtze River.
Floodwater rushes through the sluice gates of the Three Gorges Dam in Yichang, central China's Hubei province on July 19, 2010. The reservoir's inflow rose up to 58,000 cubic meters a second at 8:00 am this morning, the highest this year. The Bureau of Hydrology of the Yangtze River Water Conservancy Commission predicts that the most horrible flood to date with the largest water gush at a speed of nearly 70,000 cubic meters a second is being brewed at the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. The China Three Gorges Corporation has stepped up its protective measures by escalating its sluicing to 40,000 cubic meters a second to brace for the largest flood since its operation. [Photo/Xinhua]
UPDATE 7/20/10 - Shortage of Funds stall Three Gorges Dam Ecological Plans for Three Gorges Dam
BEIJING - Several ecological programs planned for the Three Gorges Dam, the world's largest one of its type, have remained stalled due to a shortage of funds, authorities said on Wednesday.
Scientists and scholars have expressed doubts about the dam's impact on the environment, such as the increasing risks of landslides, waterborne diseases and earthquakes.
In a bid to put the doubts at rest, the government launched a 10-year pollution control plan in 2001. But the results have not been optimistic, experts said.
Since 2003, seven rivers in the Three Gorges area in Hubei have been plagued by a blue algae outbreak.
Climate change and the construction of water reservoirs have increased the possibilities of the blue algae outbreak in the Yangtze River, Zhang Tong said.
Zhang Lijun said some water samples in the Three Gorges area were found unsafe, adding the blue algae outbreak is increasing not only in rivers but also in lakes.
The industries along the river also threaten the environment in the Three Gorges area, because some heavy-polluting enterprises are emitting pollutants into the river, Zhang Lijun said.
