But, this charge may expand to an Act of War as time goes on.<br /><br /> <br /><br />A few baby steps. Say, a person starts a forest fire. The consequences increase as you go from Accident to Negligence, Negligence to Criminal Negligence to Negligent Homicide. As the charges get more serious, so do the consequences.<br /><br /> <br /><br />If it is found to be a deliberate act, the consequences balloon. If it is a deliberate political act by a U.S. citizen, the charges can range from domestic terrorism to treason. The person who did the act usually eventually ceases to exist if people died as a result.<br /><br /> <br /><br />If the person is foreign, they get deep sixed as a terrorist. If the act is BIG and directed by a foreign country, it may be considered an Act of War done by that foreign country through the person acting as its agent.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Big, multinational corporations effectively bought some Supremes in order to get themselves declared “persons”. What they wanted was the “personal” benefit to buy politicians openly. But, you cannot have benefits of a designation of “person” without the attendant responsibilities for actions. In other words, they cannot as effectively hide behind the corporate veil.<br /><br /> <br /><br />The big, multinational corporations with interconnecting Boards consider themselves a quasi country. This quasi country has the stated goal of taking over the World, fascist style, laying waste as they go about it.<br /><br /> <br /><br />“One World Government”<br /><br /> <br /><br />“New World Order”<br /><br /> <br /><br />Reduce the population. It is said that Prince Philip once declared that he wanted to reincarnate as a deadly virus. Well, if they tried that, bird flu and swine flu pretty much fizzled.<br /><br /> <br /><br />The U.S. banks generated derivatives scam has almost done in the EU. But, the U.S. has to go under, as well, in order to assimilate everyone into this “New World Order”. What better way to do that than to have a corporate “accident” that destroys a big chunk of the country, its waters, its food and its ability to easily export through ports in the gulf?<br /><br /> <br /><br />BP and its interconnected corporations knew that they caused a rupture on the ocean floor and what that meant. Geologists had warned them what would happen. It has surfaced that after they caused the rupture out of sight, under the ocean, they took some time to secure their assets and buy interests in cleanup operations. They then proceeded like this was a viable oil well operation with nothing unusual going on.<br /><br /> <br /><br />However, they did not bother with expensive safety measures. A bunch of folks lost their lives, but that meant fewer possible whistle blowers. And, the consequences would be relatively minor and monetary. How much is a person worth dead, after all? And, assets can be hidden and dispersed and consequences stymied by bankruptcy.<br /><br /> <br /><br />But, a corporation is now a legal “person”. A big fine may be the least of their problems if the consequences facing a person are applied to the corporation. I think it very likely that those folks on the rig were effectively murdered for show as a corporate “accident”. From what has surfaced so far, it looks very likely that it was Negligent Homicide, at the very least. Could BP officers lose their freedom? Could the Corporation cease to exist and their assets seized?<br /><br /> <br /><br />Here is the catch. This BP “person” is foreign. Say it is found that BP was directed to perform this act of rupturing the ocean floor as an act of terrorism on behalf of its quasi country mothership. We now have an effective Act of War done by its agent in the “person” of BP. That bypasses the carefully constructed corporate roadblocks to what the President may do, in response.<br /><br /> <br /><br />The Justice Department is investigating criminal actions. That may be why some are jumping ship suddenly to distance themselves from the White House. All in all, this is not “business as usual”. As Obama said in his speech, we are in a war. And, it is a war on “we the people”.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07496174995747027916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-30428835869697531552010-06-21T18:16:24.213-07:002010-06-21T18:16:24.213-07:00Ok, I know BP did wrong, but you don't shut th...Ok, I know BP did wrong, but you don't shut the company down. That would be like killing the goose that laid the golden eggs because it farted.<br /><br />How do you think they could pay all of those claims if they are out of business? <br />You go after their senior management and anybody in the chain of command who didn't blow the whistle on this crap. <br /><br />Shutting them down would be like putting Ford Motor Company out of businesss for some executive and engineer deciding to hide a defect and then people died.<br /><br />You don't kill a company because a couple of screwups in the command structure got stupid or greedy.Ken Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10988377417191573194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-43641531521590000262010-06-19T11:35:55.922-07:002010-06-19T11:35:55.922-07:00British Petroleum should have its corporate charte...British Petroleum should have its corporate charter revoked.

IMAGINE the consequences. <br /><br />Instead of shredding BP shares, we could have totally shred the US constitution. The taxpayer would have paid for everything leaving BP (the "aggrieved" party) free and clear, maybe even a hero. <br /><br />We would have rounded up people of color throughout the US and shipped them off somewhere (maybe Hawaii).<br /><br />We may have started the wars we have planned on the back burner.<br /><br />The president would be reelected in a grand sweep.<br />Imagine.Kiers Sohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11388332088924438156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-61141976043946183372010-06-17T16:13:18.360-07:002010-06-17T16:13:18.360-07:00In an age of hyper-complexity a tiny hole in the E...In an age of hyper-complexity a tiny hole in the Earth can destroy countless millions of lives.

I was in Ft. Myers when the rig blew. The Monday after, there was oil coming in with the waves, striping the beaches. There were no other spills reported.<br /><br />Before that, I noted the striking environmental degradation in sea life and birds. Very little sea life, actually. Not even tiny crustaceans in what little seaweed washed up. There was clearly something very wrong much before BP's time line.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07496174995747027916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-55965593295742639372010-06-17T14:17:55.394-07:002010-06-17T14:17:55.394-07:00BP clearly has such a cozy deal supplying the US M...BP clearly has such a cozy deal supplying the US Military with their oil that humans and our planet do not matter.
