A group of wildlife spotters have encountered a massive pod of dolphins on a boat trip off the north coast of Skye.

The boat's owner Nick Davies, who operates out of Gairloch on the mainland, estimated there were about 1,000 short-beaked common dolphin.

He said he had only seen such a sight once before in 15 years of operating.

Last June, a "superpod" of more than 400 short-beaked common dolphin was recorded in the Moray Firth.

Mr Davies said the Skye pod included adults, juveniles and calves.

He said: "They were everywhere you looked for as far as you could see.

"There was five square miles where they just filled the sea."

It is thought the massive pod was created when smaller ones grouped together to chase a huge shoal of fish.

The pod spotted last June was thought to be a "massive migration" into the North Sea.

OFFICIAL UPDATE FROM EAGLES DISOBEY! ;D

During a conference between "the Eagles" and "Eagles Disobey" ;D in Laughlin, a day ago, an issue was raised by "the Eagles" to "Eagles Disobey" about the total number of cancellations of appearances and interviews (more than 5) that Drs. Dan and Marci have had us cancel since their "status change." I (Fran here ;D) used my schedule print-out to tick off the number of cancellations. After two counts, the numbers kept coming up wrong. Marci took the sheet and found out "why?" The numbers of appearances and interviews were linked on a sheet with other commitments such as contracts.

1 POSSIBLE appearance was tallied at the bottom, without being listed in the list on that print-out, because it was separate from the rest as part of a larger contract.

When we found it, Dan almost shot from his seat with a "Whhhat??" ;D Here is an actual photo (not ;D) Steven took of Dr. Dan at that moment:

;D

Mixed in with the comments and texts from issues having to do with contracts, there was a statement that Marci had agreed to have him and her appear somewhere, within a year from now. Being they have agreed to the appearance, as part of a wider contract, they must fulfill it, should the agency/company with whom they have the contract wish to have them speak. Even though they have stepped down from their active positions at Eagles Disobey, contracts they have signed through it must be completed. (It is possible that Dr. Marci will also use this opportunity ;D to do the Isis-Beta testing.)

Therefore, the world may have not yet seen the end of Drs. Dan's and Marci's public appearances! ;D

(If you are in that "loop" who might be worried about the "BIG D-word" as a result of this posting, relax yourself, call me, and I will patch you directly through to Dr. Dan at his desk. ;D)

Hello people in the public (this is mostly for non-GT people):

I have received a few emails (all at once) saying that Dan was "breaking a promise" by not holding a Lotus Symposium?

Dan promised to show the people the "Widget" and "update everyone on Lotus" in some way. The Isis beta-testing was linked to the timeframe of the possible Lotus symposium. Now that the symposium is "no more" due to his and Marci's status change, we are already making different arrangements for the beta testing. If what Dan has promised doesn't come in the form of a symposium, it will come in a different form.

Hey, I've got a great idea! If you think Dan hasn't fulfilled every promise he's made, write me a letter and quote him with the promise you say he hasn't fulfilled!

[e-mail]

Just saying "Well he hasn't so there, mwaa!" ;D or calling names DOESN'T COUNT. It has never counted, that's why the Eagles' popularity hasn't suffered because of the negatives, and has gone up and up because of their word being fulfilled.

I could say "to hell wit'ya!" but I am being nicer than that............at least for awhile. ;D

So, if there is something he hasn't done, that he said he'd do, let me know. IF IT LOOKS VALID, IF, IF, IF, IF......................THEN I'LL CONFRONT HIM ABOUT IT AND SEE WHAT HE SAYS.

I'll also get back with the public with the information.

Good luck. ;D F

[caspa]

Eagles Disobey has been asked, "..and please post this q/a where the public can read.."-

"Will the subject of TRACE FOSSILS be covered in Dan's big book? If he is, what will they be called?"

I hope this wasn't a response to my post, above. ;D

Yes, the MLTF's will be covered. The trace fossils are called MLTF's as an abbreviation. The real name Dan named them: "Margarita Lotus Trace Fossils." The name Margarita is the name of The Count's (an avatar name) deceased MOTHER. The Count was the first, in a contest sponsored by Eagles Disobey, to submit a sample that contained what we believe are ancient Lotus trace fossils. The winner of the contest got to name the trace fossils. Dan, as a scientist and a d**n good one, will also be adding contrary arguments against trace fossils, to give the writing about them balance. But he has a very good case ;D, one that has gotten much larger since he and Marci spoke at Caltech.

(People from all over the globe have continued sending Dan and Marci sand samples and MLTF samples, to the Eagles Disobey P.O. Box, even though the contest and open requests are over. They continue to accept them. The MLTF's go to the theory work, and the finders/people who submit will be thanked in the book. The sand continues to be used in the Isis units. We save the return addresses and letter informtion from EVERY letter we get. Want to be part of the history? Submit a sand or MLTF sample.)

The official Eagles Disobey submission address is

Eagles Disobey
P.O. Box 93362
Las Vegas, Nevada 89193

Fran

P.S. In the same letter we were asked about the "Open Minds" stuff. Ohhhhhhhh, it's coming! ;D

[caspa]

"Please assure us PUBLICLY. No erasing of the post that no matter what changes happen today tomorrow, or next week to Dan and Marci, the magnum opus will become public?"

For the record the nth or gazillionth ;D time: barring their passing on, and their not completing it because of that, after it's done the book's title, ISBN, and where it is stored for the public to read it, will be posted on the front page of eaglesdisobey.net. It will be for FREE because our ethics and morals are not defined by a dollar sign. No matter how much work it will take, and it will take a lot I'm sure, both Dr. Dan and Dr. Marci consider it immoral and unethical to put a price tag on this book. F

Goldman Sachs: The Pirates of Poison in the Gulf

The Hydra-like creature, Goldman Sachs, has surfaced from the Gulf oil volcano.

Illinois-based Nalco Corporation is responsible for the Corexit 9500 chemical dispersant highlighted by experts as being 4 times more toxic than the oil that is flowing into the Gulf. Scientists in congressional hearings added that the dispersant is more toxic than other similar dispersant on the market. Naturally, whenever a major disaster takes place -- especially when major, society-altering solutions are being offered -- one needs to follow the trail of money and power to see who benefits. Sure enough, a casual search of Nalco's Web site reveals their company history; it leads right to the doorstep of Goldman Sachs.

Nalco seems to have started in 1928 Chicago and became immediately involved in both the oil industry and water treatment facilities. 1982 seems to have been a massive turning point for the company as their Web site states, "ORS-419 is used in the tires of the Space Shuttle Columbia. The Nalco product is the only non-silicone product of its type on the market approved by the space shuttle tire's manufacturer." Thereafter, things really seem to have taken off as shown here:

1983: Nalco breaks ground for a new 300,000-square-foot trio of headquarters buildings in Naperville, representing an investment totaling $90 million.
1984: Nalco introduces the PORTA-FEED® reusable container system, the most advanced liquid chemical handling system yet introduced.
1985: Nalco leads the chemical industry in the development of CAER (Community Awareness and Emergency Response), a forerunner of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 and the CMA Responsible Care® initiative.
1986: Nalco consolidates groups from the Energy Chemicals Division and Oil Field Services Division to form a new Petroleum Chemicals Division to be headquartered in Sugar Land. The new Petroleum Chemicals Division will include Visco Chemicals, Refinery Process Chemicals, Additives, Adomite Chemicals and Gas and Oil Handling Chemicals Groups.
1989: Sales top $1 billion.


Then, in 1994 Nalco joined forces with Exxon Chemical to announce the formation of a new alliance "Nalco/Exxon Energy Chemicals, L.P. to provide products and services to all facets of the petroleum and natural gas industries."


Another name change occurred in 2001 when the company became Ondeo Nalco. Finally, in 2003, we learn who has taken the reins to lead us into the present. As their site states: "The Blackstone Group, Apollo Management L. P. and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners buy Ondeo Nalco."

Global sales now exceed $4 billion and the Gulf cleanup is in the hands of a group of corporate pals who have brought us such fine moments of humanity such as Blackstone's “locust capitalism” hostile takeover binge which triggered a major political backlash in Germany and elsewhere, and the newly proposed austerity measures coming to America. Apollo Management is in the Wall Street Journal's Who's Who in Private Equity with the very human investment strategies of leveraged and distressed buyouts and debt investments -- investments now top $37 billion. And, by now, Goldman Sachs's reputation precedes itself as having engineered the housing crash and exacerbating a financial meltdown in Greece and across Europe.

Yet, Goldman Sachs is far too gluttonous a creature to be happy with administering the profits from the physical fallout of the Gulf disaster. The kings of the carbon market -- yes, that market that trades nothing but air -- have not been having an easy time of it pushing man-made global warming. In the Gulf, however, they have their cohort, Barack Obama, well positioned to steer the pirate ship back on course. It was Obama who helped fund the carbon program from its inception after all. Right on cue, Obama's e-mail campaign is launched to exploit suffering at the behest of his corporate controllers.

We are living in a full-blown international corporate command and control system where even the most basic rescue efforts are in the hands of proven pirates. It also has become clear that the pirate flotilla is owned by Goldman Sachs . . . and the president of the United States is the captain.

Where do upper management go after working for BP?

Into politic's of course!

Former BP chief John Browne gets Whitehall role

The coalition made one of its most controversial appointments to date today as it named Lord Browne, the former head of BP, as its new Whitehall "super-director" charged with injecting business ethos into the heart of government.

Browne will play a key part in the Liberal Democrat-Conservative coalition's plans to find efficiencies across government and there have been rumours of the move for some weeks.But the appointment is controversial given his resignation from BP in 2007 after he lied in the high court to protect his personal life.

The timing is also potentially difficult, given that BP is at the centre of America's worst ever oil spill.

Critics have suggested that the oil company has had a systematic problem with safety since before 2007. They point to accidents such as the Texas City refinery fire in 2005 and the Prudhoe Bay pipeline fractures in 2006, for which the company was severely criticised.

But Browne has still remained highly regarded in UK business circles, where he was known as the Sun King.

He was chief executive of BP for 12 years until 2007, during which time he undertook dramatic cost-cutting exercises, turning the company around, building it into one of the biggest oil companies in the world and re-branding it "Beyond Petroleum".

In his new position, Browne will help appoint business leaders to the new beefed-up boards of every government department and oversee a revamp of departmental reports that will set out rolling three-year plans which will hold secretaries of state to account. The position is unpaid.

There have been suggestions that the announcement of his appointment was delayed because the coalition had grown nervous about his BP profile.

There are also concerns that his new government role puts at stake the independence of a major review the previous government appointed him to conduct into university funding, which is due to report this year. A source close to that review said: "Any independence is certainly questionable if not compromised."

However, Browne issued a statement insisting that the new role is independent. "This is a role within government but also independent of it. Its purpose is to assist in the delivery of policy using relevant experience from business. There is a great need for the best of the business community to be involved during these challenging times for the UK."

The Cabinet Office minister, Francis Maude, said: "The appointment of non-executive directors will galvanise departmental boards as forums where political and official leadership is brought together to drive up performance.

"It's great news for the government and taxpayers that Lord Browne has accepted this powerful role. His experience will be a real benefit in our drive to make Whitehall work in a more businesslike manner and I am looking forward to working with him to implement our vital reform programme."

Ian Watmore, the former chief executive of the Football Association and a former permanent secretary, is to become the new chief operating officer at the head of the efficiency and reform group. The efficiency group will be the central procurement body for government charged with reducing the cost of administration across Whitehall.

ANGEL EAGLES: "Just because it's the rght thing to do!"

Lord Woodbine: The forgotten sixth Beatle

Lord Woodbine taught the Fab Four the blues– but was written out of pop history. Yasmin Alibhai-Brown and James McGrath pay tribute

Thursday, 1 July 2010

GETTY IMAGES

Faded memory: Lord Woodbine, third from left, at the Arnhem War Memorial with (left to right) Allan Williams and his wife, Beryl, Stuart Sutcliffe, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Pete Best

"A homeless black man lived under one of the arches near Waterloo station until about five years ago, when he and his box vanished. His name was Samuel (pronounced to rhyme with Danielle). Most of the time, he talked to himself or slept, but on some summer evenings he would start clapping and sing lines from songs by Marley or The Beatles, or reminisce about Liverpool, where he was born and raised. His deep voice rose from a reservoir of cigarette tar and pain. One story he returned to again and again was that of another Liverpudlian, the calypso singer, songwriter and music promoter Lord Woodbine. For Samuel, Woodbine was just one more talented black man, used then cast aside by the white world, just like those impoverished blues singers in New Orleans, and countless R&B, reggae and rap artists who never got their due: "Who know today that Woodbine, he make the Beatles. Who wants to know a black man did that?" Who, indeed.


When the lads were just starting out, dreaming, green and crazy about music, they, said Woodbine, "made themselves orphans, deliberately" and followed him like motherless chicks, hanging around the joints he either part-owned or played at, always trying to have a go on the steel pans. "Woodbine's Boys", they called them, Paul, John, George, Stuart Sutcliffe (bass player and "fifth Beatle") and, after Woodbine persuaded them they needed a drummer, Pete Best.

Woodbine was not ambitious; The Beatles were, and like most young people, they were takers and triers. The Trinidadian helped guide them through their formative musical years, an inadvertent father figure, an accidental hero. They found each other – the uncut band-players, often unwashed too, getting acquainted with cannabis and their somewhat unconventional role model, who part-owned shebeens and strip clubs, ran up debts and loved making music. Speaking to the musician Tony Henry, the Welshman Allan Williams, the first promoter of the group, admitted that without his old business partner Woodbine, there would have been no Beatles. It was Williams who parted with the group just as they were beginning to get popular. Woodbine's chicks flew away. Brian Epstein, their next father figure, stepped in and the rest is history.

Only one substantial article was ever written about Woodbine – by Henry in 1998. He managed to interview the man himself, who, even then, was reluctant to intrude into the established Beatles legend. Maybe it was pride or humility, or both, or that Woodbine didn't want the whole black Liverpudlian contribution to The Beatles projected on to him. There were others, of whom more anon. There were some poignant moments in the interview when Woodbine couldn't hold back his bruised feelings, his disappointment that he was so casually overlooked by his boys.

As the years went by he had to endure further indignities, reminders that he was Mr Nobody. The worst blow came in 1992 at the Liverpool Playhouse, where he was invited to see Imagine, a play about The Beatles. The backdrop was a photograph taken in 1960, at the Arnhem Memorial, Germany. In the original, Woodbine – who had hired the van – was in the photo with Allan and the band minus John, who stayed in the van because he was a pacifist. The Trinidadian had been airbrushed out: "It really hurt me. Maybe the great Beatle publicity machine did not want any black man associated with their boys."

And it carries on. Woodbine is virtually absent from the many books on Beatlemania. Biopics are as myopic. There is an interminable line of films on The Beatles, the latest of which was the BBC's Lennon Naked, with Christopher Eccleston playing Lennon in a white suit. Liam Gallagher is making the next Beatles movie. Will it drop in on Toxteth? Best not to hope, as many say in that part of Blighty.

Biographers have passed over the black Liverpudlian who inspired and supported the fledgling band. The role of Liverpool, too, is often underestimated. In 2002, McCartney told the Liverpudlian writer Paul Du Noyer: "Liverpool was a huge melting pot. And we took what we liked from it." Various witnesses saw this happening. The black Liverpudlian band-leader George Dixon remembers the boys watching him and the guitarist Odie Taylor at the White House pub. The Nigerian-Liverpudlian singer Ramon Sugar Deen recalls the way their music developed: "I heard them jamming in the Cavern club and the rhythm had changed. They'd got some chords off Odie."

Greg Wilson, an enthusiastic promoter of black music, believes it is impossible to determine "influences" on artistes, the mix inside them, how their own talent responded to the sounds and thoughts of others. However, in accounts of the Merseyside four, credit is always given to Motown, Ravi Shankar and individuals such as DJ Greg Wilson. Only the musicians of Liverpool 8 have no place in the narrative. They have been Tipp-Exed out. Woodbine was the first singer-songwriter Lennon and McCartney ever met, yet one writer said that the Trinidadian had only a "walk-on part" in The Beatles' story.

Born in Trinidad in 1928, his real name was Harold Phillips. When only 14, he lied about his age and joined the RAF. After the war, he went back home and then retuned to England in 1948 on the famous SS Windrush, which carried the first boatful of hopeful West Indian immigrants to their motherland. Though they faced raw racism and hostility, most of these immigrants had spirit and song and a buoyancy that not even the bitter cold could drag down. Woodbine knew how to enjoy life, whatever it chucked at him. He was part of the first professional steel band in this country. They played in clubs and shebeens in Liverpool 8, where in the Eighties, race riots would erupt. He made up a delightful calypso about various characters named after cigarettes. His chums, probably as a joke, renamed him Lord Woodbine. It stuck.

He perished in a house fire in Toxteth with his wife 10 years ago this July. The inferno ended an extraordinary life. He was 72 and by all accounts as skint as he had always been, though generous till the end. In his time he had been a lorry driver, railway engineer, builder, decorator, shopkeeper, TV repairman, a barman, club owner, songwriter, singer and musical mentor.


In 1958 he was with the All-Steel Caribbean Band, led by a fellow Trinidadian, Gerry Gobin. At the Joker's Club, where the band often played, the musicians noticed two white lads who seemed keen. They were Lennon and McCartney, wide-eyed and restless kids, like many others on rock and dole. The steel-pannists moved to the popular Jacaranda Club in Liverpool 1 and The Beatles followed. Gobin, unimpressed by their music, was initially irritated by these hangers-on. Candace Smith, then Gobin's partner, was also suspicious of them: "Bloody white kids, trying to horn in on the black music scene."

Marylee Smith, Jamaican, 81, used to visit her cousins in Liverpool. Interviewed for this article, she recalled Toxteth's music scene then: "They was there all the time, you know, all the time, like they was looking for some black magic, pushing in, rough boys, unwashed sometimes. Jumping on to the stage, playing the pans like it was theirs. Some of us didn't like that. But the musicians, they didn't mind so much." Woodbine was bohemian, free, left wing, incautious. He even had the boys performing in his strip club. It must have been madly exciting.

In 2008, McCartney recalled those times in Mojo magazine: "Liverpool being the first Caribbean settlement in the UK, we were very friendly with a lot of black guys – Lord Woodbine, Derry Wilkie, they were mates we hung out with." More than that, actually. George Roberts, part Arab and another Liverpudlian promoter, observed that Paul and John not only liked being with people of colour, they were getting to know deep musical traditions and skills: "They had two passions. One was to learn authentic R&B and the other was to become famous. Lennon would never have got that in Menlove Avenue; McCartney would never have got R&B with his upright piano and dad."

Other Toxteth musicians brought on the two wannabes. The Somali-Irish guitarist Vinnie Tow was seen showing John and Paul the seventh chord in the Chuck Berry style, says Roberts: "John was always asking Vinnie, 'Show me this, show me that.'" The Guyanese guitarist Zancs Logie was another willing teacher. In 1995, Woodbine told Derek Murray, author of a forthcoming book on black music: "Zancs was always showing Lennon something. Until he died [1994] he was proud of how he taught Lennon to play guitar." George Dixon thought The Beatles were "three-chord wonders. We were playing sophisticated 15-chord numbers. But The Beatles progressed and others didn't so I admire them."

Williams and Woodbine got The Beatles to Hamburg, then a happening place hungry for new talent. Williams had found some cash left behind in a club – instead of blowing it on themselves, they sent for the boys, shacked up in shabby rooms and got them bookings. The group fell out with Williams when they made a return trip to Hamburg and got bookings without giving him a cut. Later, as The Beatles found fortune and fame, people in Liverpool would say to Woodbine: "See your boys doing great, Woody", and he did feel chuffed. He needed them less than they once needed him. That is a kind of victory.

That affection was not fully reciprocated. True, The Beatles always took a strong stand against racism. When he bumps into black Liverpudlians, Paul McCartney spontaneously remembers his "old friend Woodbine" and others. He has done an admirable amount for black and white musicians in his old city. But when Woodbine burnt to death in 2000, McCartney left it to his press office to issue a statement. The surviving band-members should have attended the funeral, or at least had a public memorial to honour the man. Better still, surely they should have seen him right when he was alive?

Fame brings all kinds of past and present hangers-on – people making wild claims of previous intimacies. Woodbine and the others who helped The Beatles never did. Their protégés were too busy, too wary, too rich, too famous to feel any sense of obligation to those who taught them to fly high with their musical wings. It is forgetfulness more than malice, but still can wound.

And so Woodbine's becomes another sad story perhaps to turn into a blues song. Dr Helen Davies, lecturer in cultural studies, believes that he dramatises the way "'authentic' history is constructed. We see time and time again that the voices that are recorded are white, male and middle class."

Not good enough, says the sociologist Max Farrar, who remembers the Toxteth clubs: "We were listening to black music – it was the start of the, some would say curious, some dubious, love affair that white people like me have with black people and the emancipatory culture they have created. It's high time this debt was properly acknowledged." If it was, we might get to celebrate Liverpool 8, its struggles, appeal, and the fantastic cross-cultural creativity that made The Beatles."



Eagles Comment:

"For Samuel, Woodbine was just one more talented black man, used then cast aside by the white world, just like those impoverished blues singers in New Orleans, and countless R&B, reggae and rap artists who never got their due: "Who know today that Woodbine, he make the Beatles. Who wants to know a black man did that?" Who, indeed."



To release his photo and information, is an act that's not quite PC (Politically Correct) for some, now is it? But then again, "The Independent" and "Eagles Disobey" are not quite PC, now are they? Eagles prefers and has enough GUTS to face THE TRUTH, THE REAL HISTORY. WE DONT COVER OUR EYES, NOR DO WE SUGGEST ANYONE ELSE DO IT, EITHER! WE'RE ALL ALIKE IN MOST WAYS, BUT EMBRACING DIFFERENCES AS GIFTS, GEMS, BRINGS BETTER UNDERSTANDING, TOO! (IT JUST TAKES A WILLINGNESS TO THINK ON OUR OWN, AND NOT TO ASSIGN UNPREPARED PEOPLE TO DO IT FOR US! A SINGLE RAINBOW: YES! BUT EACH PART OF IT, EACH COLOR, IS BEAUTIFUL TOO!)

TO LORD WOODBINE! TRUTH RESTORED!

Just you wait until you hear the WHOLE TRUTH from Dr. Marci, in a statement she is preparing but as of yet we don't know the release date. When she releases it (anytime from now to about 7 months from now), I will post it on Eagles Disobey. After you watch it, you'll UNDERSTAND the Eagles and why they've been so "up front" - why you learned of them at all. (Dr. Dan will probably be in the video, but none of us are sure if he will say anything.) Over the years, videos could have been released with little information to the public of who Dr. Dan and Dr. Marci are? Underneath everything, their public journey has ALL been about 1 thing.

First Amendment suspended in the Gulf of Mexico[/size]

Saturday, July 03, 2010
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
Editor of NaturalNews.com

www.naturalnews.com/029130_Gulf_of_Mexico_censorship.html


As CNN is now reporting, the U.S. government has issued a new rule that would make it a felony crime for any journalist, reporter, blogger or photographer to approach any oil cleanup operation, equipment or vessel in the Gulf of Mexico. Anyone caught is subject to arrest, a $40,000 fine and prosecution for a federal felony crime.

CNN reporter Anderson Cooper says, "A new law passed today, and back by the force of law and the threat of fines and felony charges, ... will prevent reporters and photographers from getting anywhere close to booms and oil-soaked wildlife just about any place we need to be. By now you're probably familiar with cleanup crews stiff-arming the media, private security blocking cameras, ordinary workers clamming up, some not even saying who they're working for because they're afraid of losing their jobs."

As Anderson Cooper reported on CNN:

"Now the government is getting in on the act. Despite what Admiral Thad Allen promised about transparency just nearly a month ago.

Thad Allen: "The media will have uninhibited access anywhere we're doing operations..."

Anderson Cooper: The Coast Guard today announced new rules keeping photographers, reporters and anyone else from coming with 65 feet of any response vessel or booms out on the water or on beaches. What this means is that oil-soaked birds on an island surrounded by a boom, you can't get close enough to take that picture. Shot of oil on beaches with booms? Stay 65 feet away. Pictures of oil-soaked booms uselessly laying in the water because they haven't been collected like they should? You can't get close enough to see that. Believe me, that is out there. But you only know that if you get close to it, and now you can't without permission. Violators could face a fine of $40,000 and Class D felony charges."

Recent Fly Over of the Huge Gulf Oil Spill (video)[/size]




Hi Everyone ..

You may all be wondering why I keep posting about the Gulf disaster.
After all I live on the other side of the planet, about as far as you can get
from the US.

The butterfly effect.
Everything that the US does in terms of policy,trade, finance, military and OIL SPILLS
affect us here in the land downunda.

Since WW2 Oz has very close military and financial ties to the US.

We send out troops to assist in US wars, we are directly affected by trade agreements
with the US, the list of US influenced Oz policy is too long to list here.

I live on the largest Island on the planet,surrounded by the most beautiful oceans
and the biggest coral reef in the world.

What has happened in the US, the lack of action, the crime against all sentient
lifeforms, Humans and animals, affects my country.

When the US goes to war it affects my country, when the US financial system goes into
meltdown ..it affects my economy.

What I'm trying to say here is this .

This is no longer a domestic issue for the US, once this oil and dispersant gets into the Atlantic Conveyor ( I believe it already has ) it becomes a WORLD issue.

Can we really afford to risk losing the life of the oceans ?

The people of Louisiana are suffering directly, breathing toxic air and losing their incomes and businesses.
This is just a microcosm of a huge and nasty macrocosm.

This oil spill is still going .. HOW MUCH LONGER is going to take to stop it ??

Peace Out

Thank you Noddy for your posting.

As I hope many more are recognizing that water is water no matter where it exists on this beautiful world. Although it may appear separate. as we do, it is in fact all One, Water. Just as our air and that which we walk on, it is not separate.

Perhaps like a circus mirror, We are being shown to the extreme that which is.

This is not a sentimental sappy new age feeling. It is provable scientific fact.

Again, thank you for reminding us that everything anyone decides or makes policy or triggers such as we see in the Gulf affects us All.
