Regarding the smelters in South Africa.
There has just been a huge uproar here because the government was giving contracts to supply BHP Billiton with electricity for their smelters from Eskom, our national electricity supplier, at below cost. Which in turn caused Eskom to have a loss of billions of Rands which us the tax payers had to cover otherwise we had no electricity. F*cking bastards!
I just went on to their website and found that they are owned by Royal Dutch Shell since 1970. Maybe BHP also has some fingers in the pie as they are the world's largest mineral company.
You can go and check their chronology here - www.bhpbilliton.com...

It seems like this oil spill is the kick off for all TPTB to bring their plans to fruition. Lord only knows how much time we have left. A few years maybe? Before they crack down on and control every aspect of our lives.

Shares in BP tumbled more than 9 per cent on Monday as US Democratic senators called on the multinational oil company to inject $20bn immediately into a ring-fenced fund to clean up the Gulf of Mexico spill
It also emerged on Monday that BP had hired Blackstone, Goldman Sachs and Credit Suisse to help it manage its liabilities
When insurance giant American International Group Inc. scrambled to find solutions to avoid collapse, it hired Blackstone Group LP and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. as its co-advisers. Blackstone was a natural choice for AIG, since the relationship between the two companies goes back to Blackstone's launch in 1985.
Blackstone chief executive Stephen Schwarzman and chairman Pete Peterson have close ties to Maurice Greenberg, the former CEO and chairman of AIG. Indeed, Greenberg sat on Blackstone's inaugural advisory board in 1989. And in 1998, AIG made a $1.35 billion long-term investment in Blackstone and its affiliated companies. Today AIG owns 5% of Blackstone and is one of the biggest investors in Blackstone's funds.

According to Source Watch, Ogilvy Government Relations and Ogilvy Public Relations are one and the same.
The firm was acquired by Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide for $60 million in 2005, and changed its name to Ogilvy Government Relations in early 2007. [1] According to O'Dwyer's PR Daily, the firm decided "to switch its name as the Democrats take control of Congress," adding that "the Republican PR lobbying firm" had "recently made inroads with Democrats as evidence by the December hire of Moses Mercado (former deputy executive director of the Democratic National Committee) and ex-Louisiana Congressman Chris John.
This provides a stunning connection, since Ogilvy Public Relations is the same PR firm that represents BP and also has the Coast Guard Media Relations person, Petty Officer Rachel Polish, employed as a Vice-President of the company. See Coast Guard Media Liaison Works for BP PR Firm.

In announcing the test results, EPA Assistant Administrator Paul Anastas said the EPA is not recommending any change in dispersants used to fight the Gulf spill's impact.
The agency's press release said all the dispersants it tested, including COREXIT 9500, "have roughly the same impact on aquatic life" and none displayed biologically significant endocrine disrupting activity. In fish species tests COREXIT 9500 was identified by the EPA as one of two products included in the safest category.

BP Sells LUKARCO Stake to LUKOIL
In 1979 the Ayatollah Khomeini broke all contracts and gave 90% ownership to BP oil and Iran retained a 10% interest. In 1998, BP merged with Amoco (a subsidiary of Standard Oil), and in 2000, acquired ARCO.
To them it would be a logical financial move to damage BP to kill the stock value (after shorting them before the explosion), and buying them dirt cheap.

So anyone who boycotts BP is playing into the hands of the gang of thieves and furthering their agenda.
It is almost comic if it wasn't so sad how ignorant of the manipulations most of us are.

Oystermen filed a federal class action against BP and Nalco, which makes the dispersant chemical that BP has dumped on the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The oystermen claim Corexit 9500 is four times more toxic than oil, and that BP has sprayed more than 1 million gallons of it onto the Gulf, causing the poison to become "a permanent part of the seabed and food chain in the biostructure in the Gulf of Mexico."
BP dumped the Corexit to "disperse" and sink the millions of gallons of oil from BP's broken wellhead after the April 20 explosion of the Deepwater Horizon that killed 11.
Lead plaintiff Scott Parker claims that more than 1 million gallons of Corexit "has been sprayed over the Gulf of Mexico and has caused a toxic chemical to be a permanent part of the seabed and food chain in the biostructure in the Gulf of Mexico."
Corexit 9500 is four times more toxic than the oil itself, according to the complaint, "causing an even more dangerous condition to exist in the Gulf of Mexico than if the oil was allowed to float to the shoreline."
The class claims the dispersant was used "in an attempt to lessen the financial burden of BP and to lessen the public reaction to the oil spill by forcing the oil to the bottom of the Gulf and thereby obviating the need for shoreline cleanup."
Corexit 9500 has been illegal in the United Kingdom since 1998, when it was found to be harmful to the food chain.

Phenomenal research and time spent to enlighten us all! Thank you. Am now in a daze of information and, sadly, find it irrefutable. It has made me seriously consider the possibility that this GoM debacle, while not necessarily done on purpose, may have been a happy accident for TPTB...

Exceptional investigative work Outta Time! You have expanded greatly on a post on July 9th I think it was. There was an article called "WAR on the World 30 Facts" about the Rothschild involvement in instigating the deliberate oil disaster.
I'm just grateful that we still have the freedom to converse about these things here on ATS and on the internet.
Keep digging and keep us posted, lol.
