Public lynching of BP CEO

June 21, 2010 — Thursday BP CEO Tony Hayward made his way to Capitol Hill to get grilled by lawmakers who were hoping to find out the cause of the oil spill that has been devastating the Gulf for the past 8 weeks. The media circus and scene was eerily similar to the frenzy surrounding the grilling of Goldman Sachs executives a few months ago and the big 3 automaker CEOs two years ago. So what's up with America's obsession with the "public execution" of these CEOs?

Deutsch Bank is Bankrupt : Bob Chapman

Extract from the International Forecaster of 16 June 2010 :"US  MARKETS
Were it not for the Federal Reserves purchase of Treasury and Agency bonds the US would already be unable to raise funds to service debt and issue new debt, and it would already have descended into national bankruptcy. It is no wonder the Fed does not want to be audited. Through various artifices the Fed has been purchasing US treasury paper. No one knows how much, because when asked the Fed says it is a state secret. That is what all Americans love. A country run in secrecy. A privately owned corporation operating under the cover of secrecy, and protected by a Treasury Department, that is under the control of the Fed’s owners. How is that for an incestuous relationship?
Government is desperately searching for more revenue to cover its massive deficit spending and to service existing mandatory programs. Taxes are being increased; some 19 new taxes, in the recently passed medical reform legislation. Unfortunately this isn’t enough. Of course, there is never enough."

BP rig worker reported oil leak weeks before Deepwater Horizon disaster

June 21, 2010 — A rig worker has claimed that he told both BP and the rig operator of a problem with a piece of equipment blamed by many for causing the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. He says he gave the warning weeks before the explosion at the rig, and says the problem was not fixed at the time. Tyrone Benton says that he spotted a leak on the rig's Blowout Preventer (BOP), the device that is meant to shut the well down if there is an accident. He told the BBC's Panorama programme that both BP and Transocean, who owned the rig, were informed of the leak, and the faulty part -- a control pod -- was switched off rather than being repaired. This comes as BP announced that the 2 relief wells that are being drilled to stop the oil spill will not be completed until August.
