Considering BP's history...


...of recklessness and safety disregard...why were they allowed to "experiment" at these depths?
Why were they allowed by Bush, Obama, or any other government official?

Answer:
We have a corporate controlled government in the USA.
OF the 1/10th of one percent, BY the 1/10th of one percent, and FOR the 1/10th of one percent.

1. BP and their corporate media have been lying
BP and their whores in the corporate media have been lying since day one. First of all there are three leaks, not one, at the Deepwater Horizon site. Secondly, satellite imagery shows that are two other leaks at different sites. Thirdly, the damages will go far beyond fouled beaches and dead marine life. There are nuclear and coal-fired power plants that rely on clean Gulf water for cooling. There are also desalinization plants that use reverse osmosis to convert seawater into drinking for residents in Florida and other Gulf states. If oil clogs these intakes, then the economic damages will be far beyond anything people have been told. For more information, check out this article: http://www.examiner.com/x-38220-Orlando-Independent-Examiner~y2010m6d9-Satellite-imagery-shows-up-to-three-oil-leaks-in-Gulf-FL-power-and-water-supplies-may-be-at-risk

2. And yet, BP has been granted full control of "protecting" the mainland beaches.
I really, REALLY, don't get it.
