30 Shocking Quotes About The Gulf Of Mexico Oil Spill That Reveal The Soul-Crushing Horror This Disaster Is Causing

Vatic Note: If we know this, and those that live there or are experts in this kind of tragedy believe this is a world ending event, and we sit and do nothing about it then they know they can do anything to us they want, we will truly have become cattle for the slaughter. Who would have thought....... I bet our parents and grandparents are turning over in their graves to see what we have allowed and to see us face an avowed enemy who has not kept it a secret and we do nothing while they conduct war on us. READ THESE BELOW AND UNDERSTAND HOW SATANIC THIS IS, remember satanic acts are done and must be accompanied BY SUFFERING, THAT IS A BIG PART OF THEIR RELIGION.  POWER AND WEALTH IS GENERATED BY MASSIVE SUFFERING OF THE INNOCENT AND THE HELPLESS.  This is exactly what this feels like,  the animals who have done nothing to us, and we were given dominion over them and we failed to protect them.   I would love to wipe the smirk off that CEO of BP's face and GOLDMAN SACHS AS WELL.  THEY ARE WORSE THAN BP BECAUSE THEY OWN THE TOXIC DISBURSANT AND ARE MAKING BILLIONS OFF OF THIS CRISIS THEY ARE IN FACT CREATING WITH THE DEATH OF ALL THESE ANIMALS.  We will be next, but then THAT WAS THE PLAN WASN'T IT?   DON'T YOU THINK ITS TIME WE GOT REALLY GOOD AND ANGRY???  The system simply isn't working anymore.  Its now gone.  So we can do anything we want because there is nothing in place, so lets go after them if the gov won't we can.

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. (VN: of course not, first it was our economy, and now our precious public lands and waterways, next it will be our people, go ahead let them keep going, apparently they can get away with it.)

The following are 30 shocking quotes about the Gulf of Mexico oil spill that reveal the soul-crushing horror this disaster is causing....

#1) Councilman Jay LaFont of Grand Isle, Louisiana:
"As long as you have something to look forward to, a little glimmer of hope, you can move on. But this just drained everything out of us."

#2) Billy Nungesser, president of Plaquemines Parish:
"They said the black oil wouldn’t come ashore. Well, it is ashore. It’s here to stay and it’s going to keep coming."

#3) Prosanta Chakrabarty, a Louisiana State University fish biologist:
"Every fish and invertebrate contacting the oil is probably dying. I have no doubt about that."

#4) Marine toxicologist Dr. Susan Shaw, director of the Marine Environmental Research Institute on BP's use of chemical dispersants:
"They've been used at such a high volume that it's unprecedented. The worst of these – Corexit 9527 – is the one they've been using most. That ruptures red blood cells and causes fish to bleed. With 800,000 gallons of this, we can only imagine the death that will be caused."

#5) Dr. Larry McKinney, director of the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies in Texas:
"Bluefin tuna spawn just south of the oil spill and they spawn only in the Gulf. If they were to go through the area at a critical time, that's one instance where a plume could destroy a whole species."

#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."

"It is so big and expanding so fast that it's pretty much beyond human response that can be effective. ... You're looking at a long-term poisoning of the area. Ultimately, this will have a multidecade impact."

"We don't know when this will ever be over. It's a way of life that's under assault, and people don't when their next paycheck is going to be."  (VN:  thats the point....the nation won't be able to get back on its feet, thus we will lose their planned world war as planned by the bankers, just like they did to hitler.)

"We ought to take him offshore and dunk him 10 feet underwater and pull him up and ask him 'What's that all over your face?" (VN:  alright, now here is a man with a brilliant idea.  lol  that might give this criminal some incentive to come up with a solution, but then he had all kinds of offers and has not contacted any of those who offered to come and fix it.)

#13) Former Clinton adviser James Carville:

"A hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico this year would be devastating."

#19) Retired Army General Russel Honore on the effect this spill is having on residents of the Gulf coast:
"I'm sure, every time they hear a negative word, their skin crawls, 'cause they need these jobs. ... This is what's going to put their kids in school, and what pays the rent."

#20) A group calling itself "Seize BP":
"The greatest environmental disaster with no end in sight! Eleven workers dead. Millions of gallons of oil gushing for months (and possibly years) to come. Jobs vanishing. Creatures dying. A pristine environment destroyed for generations. A mega-corporation that has lied and continues to lie, and a government that refuses to protect the people."

#21) Louisiania Governor Bobby Jindal:
"There has been failure, particularly with the effort to protect our coast and our marsh. And that was the biggest topic of discussion in a very frank meeting we had with the president."
