Gulf Oil Slick: Now That The Damage Is Done

"It's as though they are all on the same team, no? That's because they ARE all on the same team, the team working to destroy the American people. The same people who control BP control the corporate media and the US government. Therefore their actions were coordinated to allow the disaster to become huge enough to "change everything."

Or maybe we can just get real and put the face on that says
we know we were all just totally screwed, again.
And who did it. And hey we're not going to wait
around for nine fucking years to let you know this time.

If you look closely, you will see the similarities to 911..."
