Florida Gov. Urges Vacationers to Swim in Toxic Sludge

Vatic Note:  We would like to express our appreciation to "Jordan & VK Durning" over at Rumormill.com for this information that you are about to see.  He gave it in response to our request on the blog regarding the Louisiana Gov actions or lack of same with respect to the spill.   We asked if anyone had any info on other actions of other gulf states governors and this is what he provided over at Rumor Mills who had the blog up on their site.   Maybe we were right originally and that the Governor knows it, that there was no blowout, and that there was simply a controlled release of the oil tar from a side drilled oil tar volcano. We published that from a source who did not want to risk his identity and gave us info that this is all a scam and that the reason no one at BP or Obama seems at all worried about it and are not only NOT doing anything to fix it but also are actively preventing anyone else from getting anywhere near the site, is because of the controlled release they have over the entire flow of what is getting out there, read the link we provided and see how much better that oil is compared to a deep water blow out.   Their apparent lack of concern is that knowing all is under control.   Either that or all these Politicians and oil Executives are patently insane. Its the only other explanation that makes any sense, either way, we are in deep doodoo if these people represent the best we have to lead us through a crisis.  This alone scares the heck out of me about a Global governance with these people in charge.  I can't even imagine..... its downright scary.

Florida Governor Charlie Crist is apparently more worried about the state’s economy than the health of vacationers and residents. Crist told CBS on Saturday the water is safe and people shouldn’t worry. “It is safe,” Crist declared, “there isn’t a toxic nature to it that is detrimental to anybody. It is much more of a nuisance than anything else at this point.”

Crist is asking ill-informed beachgoers to endanger their health so the state’s tourism industry can be saved. “The Escambia County Health Department lifted a health advisory on Pensacola Beach on Friday on the advice of a beach official and against the advice of a federal environmental official,” reports PNJ.com. Officials want to leave the decision to swim in the Gulf of Mexico up to the discretion of individual beachgoers.

Signs would be posted from the Florida-Alabama line to just west of Portofino Beach warning people about the toxic danger. The Environmental Protection Agency plans to put decontamination stations along the beach.

“These moves send conflicting signals about how safe it is to swim in the Gulf of Mexico as the impacts of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill broadens,” PNJ.com continues.

400 people have sought medical care for upper or lower respiratory problems, headaches, nausea, and eye irritation after trips to Escambia County beaches.

BP and the corporate media have colluded together to hide the full extent of the oil gusher and its health dangers. CNN concentrates on the impact on marine wildlife at the expense of the health problems arising.

Florida and its governor should not prevent people from swimming in the Gulf — that should be an individual decision — but it is seriously irresponsible for the state to encourage people and tell them there is nothing wrong.

Crist managed to raise around $25 million to put out propaganda touting Florida’s unstained beaches and encouraging folks to come on down. In response, Republican state senator Don Gaetz said, “It’s in days like this that I miss Jeb Bush.”

Charlie Crist wants vacationers to risk their health to save the economic health of his state. He is apparently unconcerned about the increasing number of people who are sickened by the toxic sludge washing up on the state’s beaches.

So the Governor declares State of Emergency, but swimming is safe? Interesting paradox.

You can read the official declarations here:

There's also a letter in which he thanks BP for 25 million USD explicitly for tourism marketing. It seems BP payed those in order to reduce later claims.

Because of apparently conflicting information, you asked for possible explanations as to what is going on. I slept on it and woke up with some possible answers.
1. There isn’t an oil spill; it’s a controlled asphalt release. (You already said that.)
2. There probably isn’t any large-scale release of toxic chemicals to “break up the oil spill.” There are more effective ways to convincing people along the coast to abandon their homes in fear of their lives. Spraying toxic chemicals over the area would do less damage to BP’s and Goldman Sachs’s hoped-for real estate investments.
3. The huge drop in BP stock prices didn’t hurt future earning potential because the capital resources are still intact. BP and Goldman Sachs officials sold much of their BP stocks before the disaster and lost only a little. Now that stock prices are at rock bottom, they’re probably buying again, all set to gain huge profits. Those profits, in turn, can be used to buy up prime oceanfront properties along the Gulf Coast.
