U.S.Taxpayers to Foot Spill Bill

BP said that it is planning to cut its U.S. tax bill by $9.9 billion, by deducting costs related to its Gulf oil spill in the second quarter of the year. Some of this could be refunded from taxes that BP has paid in previous years.

The tax credit that BP wants to claim, could mean that U.S. taxpayers will foot, in part or in whole, the bill for the $20 billion fund that (Ner)Obama and BP established to compensate those harmed by the disaster, and limit BP's liability.

Since BP's payments to the fund were to be spread over four years, amount to a mere $5 billion a year, and its tax-credit claim is for just one quarter of this year, BP couls end up paying nothing into the fund - if the Obama administration allows BP to get away with it.

The Final Revolution?

The British-sponsored youth counterculture rejected any commitment to scientific or technological progress, prefering instead to adopt a "lifestyle" based on use of "mind-expanding" drugs in order to achieve some sort of "self-actualization." Any form of "spiritualism" would do, as long as there were plenty of "touchy-feely" interludes to be had.

I must digress, just to see how perverse this has become: The openly Satanic and utterly psychotic Brit, Ozzie Osbourne, is headlining this year's voodoo fest in New Orleans. Cool, huh?

The Summer of Love turned really ugly at Altamont. The same grunge group that had appeared on Ed Sullivan with, "I kaint git no..."; the same group that went on to record "Her Majesty's Satanic Delight" (for which the lead vocalist was subsequently knighted by her Satanic majesty herself); this same group, performing before thousands, watched as their security (a bunch of Hell's Angels) beat a retarded black guy to death with pool cues.

What had been born at Woodstock, was pronounced dead at Altamont. Cont...

The 1960's

In the literal twilight zone of pre-color TV, everyone huddled around the CBS "eye" and watched the so-called "British Invasion" on Ed Sullivan. The mass hysteria ushered in what came to be known as the "counterculture"; with MIT's Timothy Leary exhorting young people to "turn on, tune in, and drop out" (with the aid of LSD which he'd received from Brave New World author, Aldous Huxley).

"Make love, not war" was the slogan of the day, taken from Marcuse's One Dimentional Man,
which emphasized "eros" over "ethos"; sensuality over principle; feeling over thought.

"Are you experienced?" taunted Jimi Hendrix, suggesting the notion that you had to lose your mind in order to become "liberated."

Eros as body armor played out on Broadway in the musical, Hair, a Dionysian spectacle that concluded with a group grope in the nude.

Huxley, meanwhile, having spawned cults of Isis on the West Coast (where the peace symbol came from), supplied the "electric kool-aid" to Ken Kesey and his band of Merry Pranksters, whose psychedelic school bus marquee read, FURTHER.

In other words, no particular destination, other than the next group grope. Cont...

$20 Billion?

There's no way to know how much damage this oil spill will ultimately cause. What's happening beneath the surface has the potential to kill every living organism in the food chain, leaving the entire Gulf essentially dead; depleted of oxygen; for how long is anyone's guess. Try $200 billion, but even that may not be nearly enough.

"Id like my life back."

Yeah, he really said that! Hayward, the same BP guy who initially claimed the damage from the massive oil leak was "very modest." Let this poor guy get on with his life, and expropriate the $450 billion of BP assets for causing the greatest environmental catastrophe in history. Just take it; it's a matter of national security. Buckingham palace is pretty far away, what are they gonna do, invade us? Again?

Does this represent the Brit's Final Solution?--their stated Malthusian objective of culling the world population?

How many is too many?

Way back in 1690, a certain Venetian doge named Ortes, somehow calculated, that the fixed carrying capacity of the planet was three billion people. This was a couple hundred years after the Renaissance saw European population density spike, after having been essentially flat for the previous 1,300 years, also known as the Dark Age.

We're at some six billion now, so what is the fixed carrying capacity anyway?

Oligarchs like Ortes presumably thought the Earth itself had fixed natural resources, and population growth had to be curtailed , and therefore war, famine, and disease were not only desirable, but necessary to insure their monopoly on power.

The Venetian wealth eventually made its way to the North Atlantic; to the tiny island of Lilliput, also known as England, where, in modern times, Prince Philip, founder of the World Wildlife Fund for Nature, remarked, on more than one occasion, that he wished to be re-incarnated as a "deadly virus," in order to stem population growth.

His sentiments were echoed by Sir Henry the Toad, also known as Kissinger, who wrote in a memorandum, saying, essentially, to the people of Latin America: "Look, there are just too many of you; so we're going to come in with sterilization programs; abortion clinics; whatever it takes, because you're sitting on our vital, limited resources."

In other words: "Don't even think about development, just preserve your backward, indigenous way of life, and leave the resources for us."

Slavery continued...

Your average slave on a Louisiana sugar plantation was sentenced to ten years. Tops. After that, he was dead. Used up. Alarmed at the rate of attrition, plantation owners set out to impregnate as many slave women as they possibly could, often selling their own children to offset the expenses of their lavish, aristocratic lifestyles.

Yet, the need was immediate, and, being suspicious of foreign slaves from the Caribbean, thought it safer to purchase them from Virginia, slaves who had, incidentally, become Protestantized, so to speak, and therefore knew how to sing four-part harmony, thus providing a part of the basis for what was to become the music of the Delta: the Blues.

Note: The British East Indies Company ran the entire plantation system; providing slaves for their colonial puppets: Spain, France, Portugal, and others. The Brits (or Brutes) backed the Confederacy of the fascist Jefferson Davis, and had plans to extend their slave empire all the way into Mexico.

Further note: Their other principle commodity back then was opium, and that continues to this day. Now think: we're fighting insurgents funded by the opium trade in Afghanistan. Wouldn't it make sense to just bomb the opium fields and put them out of business? Is it becoming McChrystal clear by now?
