Media Blackout and Arrests takig place at the Gulf. Listen to this interview and wake up!, page 14

Someone please prove that there have been any innocent civillians arrested. Call the Grande Isle PD and they'll tell you what's going on. Look at the beach cams, someone said they are all BP feeds. Obviously a lie. Someone said there are no good overhead shots of the oil spill, friggin NASA has posted their infared and there are a slew of shots showing the spill in its entirety. Dead bird and dead fish pics everywhere. Unmaintained booms. Oil washing up on the beach and infiltrating the marshlands. It's all there for you to see. MSM might not be showing everything, IDK because I don't pay much attention to the mainstream media outlets. But if NASA and NOAA are posting the terrible images that they are I don't see this being hush hush at all.

As far as BP commanding Coast GUard troops and national guardsmen, that isn't the case. If you think people are being arrested for photographing the cleanup efforts then go see for yourself.

But here's the claims.

Media Blackout- Lie #1, any info or pic you want is available

Gulf Cams overidden by BP feeds-Lie #2-looked at em today, hell even weatherbug has theirs up

Innocent Civvies being arrested and having cameras confiscated-Lie #3-No validation on this and no proof, only arrests have been people swimming in closed off areas. People have been asked to leave who were in tainted water and inhibiting cleanup.

No actual cleanup occurring-Lie #4-Seen it myself, photos everywhere.

Lie #5- BP in command of coast guard. Not according to the Incendent Commander Admiral ALlen. He's in control and if he says jump BP has to say how high?

THis is a terrible tragedy for all of us who live in the region. And down here at least the news is treating it as such. I'm looking at fox news online now with their oil spill coverage just so i can have a MSM take on it. www.foxnews.com...

Wow Fox is saying environmental damage for decades. Sure sounds like a coverup. Wow overhead shots too.

Now I pulled up ABC and it's almost an afterthought.

Look there was a 9 month long oil spill in the gulf 20 years or so ago. This is a tragedy for the people here. Local economies will be devestated. Most of these fisherman don't accurately reprort their income, so by being tax cheats they aren't going to get properly reimbursed from BP. And most will be at poverty level. We'll suffer damage to our wetlands and our wildlife. But nature will recover eventually.

But this thread isn't about how horrible the spill is. I know how bad it is 1st hand. This thread is about a supposed media blackout and innocent civillians being arrested and having cameras confiscated. None of which is true.

James Fox offers no proof. No evidence. Nothing not even any taped interviews. Just heresay... Nobody else is corroborating it. He also said people weren't allowed out in fishing boats, actually they are you just can't fished in the closed waters. Obviously for your safety. He says they are doing all of this to hide the size of the oill spill. Why allow all of NASA's and the sattelite photos then? He thinks there is going to be martial law because people are wearing badges identifying them so they can enter tainted areas. Martial law because poeple looked at him funny.

No hotels within 2 hours. Grand Isle is in the middle of nowhere. Houma is another area hard hit within 2 hours of grande isle travel.travelocity.com...

Hotels everywhere.

Grand Isle is not on lockdown. Drive up today. The beach is open you just can't go in the water. Lol he hasn't seen the coast. I've been to the coast since then. The guy is trying to make a spike lee katrina movie.

Show one shred of evidence or validate anything he says. You can't it isn't possible. A good friend of mine owns @ngelos restauant in Grand Isle. They are open. ANother good friend owns Captain La$$y's seafood in Belle Chase. They are being allowed to fish in non tainted waters and are up and running. They are out and about in it far more than I and they listened to this idiots interview as well. No basis in fact.

And shame on ya'll for promoting unvalidated allegations and promoting this ridiculous fearmongering.

Get on Yahoo. Look up some businesses down there and give em a call. See how they are doing. Just stop with all the BS.
