Preface: Additional interviews of leading government-affiliated experts concerning the Gulf oil spill here and here.
As we reported at the time, the EPA allowed BP to dump mass quantities of a highly-toxic chemical into the Gulf of Mexico in order to help BP hide the amount of oil in the Gulf … and to help to cover up what was really going on.
Last month, 60 Minutes made a fantastic exposé on the whole shenanigan.
We contacted Gulf toxicologist Dr. Susan Shaw – Founder and Director of the Marine Environmental Research Institute – for comment. Background on Dr. Shaw’s involvement with the BP oil spill here and here.
Unfortunately, the government has a habit of covering up disasters – including not only oil spills, but everything from nuclear accidents to financial problems – instead of actually fixing the problems so that they won’t happen again.
