Capitol Hill Blue Forums Political Issues Climate Change and Environmental Issues BP Oil Spill

BTW- did anyone ever hear of the early deaths of the Exxon-Valdez clean-up workers until recently? How many years did MSM cover-up the early deaths and health problems of those who participated in that clean-up? Fortunately, the story got out in time to help at least some people with the Gulf of Mexico clean-up. I suspect that in 20 years or so that we'll eventually hear about similar health hazards in the Gulf.

Alabama’s Gulf Coast Has Big Red Snapper and Plenty of Them to Catch

"As one angler says, “The fish now being caught and eaten from the gulf have been tested and proven safe to eat with far-more scientific research than the fish we’ve caught and eaten before the oil spill. Thousands of fish have been collected, studied and looked-at under microscopes to make sure they’re the best they can be for human consumption.”

Red Snapper is one of my favorite salt water fish, but I'm not eating anything from the Gulf until I'm satisfied about its safety. I hope that article is correct, but I'm suspicious. There's been a lot of reported health issues, including bleeding, from Gulf seafood that the MSM isn't reporting. From what I've heard, the government isn't adequately testing the seafood.

Has it ever occurred to you that the media are not reporting those stories because they are not true?

'
No, not for a moment.

After 60 years of the National Security State, anything that appears in the American Brainwashing Machine mass media is sure to be a lie.

Hogwash. Twaddle.

'
That's what I'm saying.

But just because something does not appear in the main stream media does not mean that it's true. I have heard the figures about the deaths Exxon Valdez clean up crew, I haven't heard anything about Alaskan seafood causing illness after the spill.
There may be reports of people getting sick after eating Gulf seafood, there may also be reports of people wrecking their cars or beating their wives after eating Gulf seafood. They may not necessarily be related.

"There may be reports of people getting sick after eating Gulf seafood, there may also be reports of people wrecking their cars or beating their wives after eating Gulf seafood. They may not necessarily be related."

You do NOT have the makings of a good conspiracy theorist, Gregor.

There is not a shred of evidence that the people who worked on the cleanup at Prince William Sound are "almost all dead."

This is yet another hoax running around the Internet looking for gullible people to fall for it.

One of the more idiotic things posted is that the average life expectancy of one of those workers is 51. This has absolutely no validity unless all of the people are dead. Apparently around 11,000 Alaskans worked on the cleanup, and if almost all of them are dead that would be one of the most monumental stories of the late 20th century and would certainly have been told over and over again.

People who spread this hoax without checking the facts are doing the entire internet a disservice.
