So much for transparency.

Under a little-noticed provision of the recently passed financial-reform legislation, the Securities and Exchange Commission no longer has to comply with virtually all requests for information releases from the public, including those filed under the Freedom of Information Act.

Scientists Find Evidence That Oil And Dispersant Mix Is Making Its Way Into The Foodchain

Scientists have found signs of an oil-and-dispersant mix under the shells of tiny blue crab larvae in the Gulf of Mexico, the first clear indication that the unprecedented use of dispersants in the BP oil spill has broken up the oil into toxic droplets so tiny that they can easily enter the foodchain.

Marine biologists started finding orange blobs under the translucent shells of crab larvae in May, and have continued to find them "in almost all" of the larvae they collect, all the way from Grand Isle, Louisiana, to Pensacola, Fla. -- more than 300 miles of coastline -- said Harriet Perry, a biologist with the University of Southern Mississippi's Gulf Coast Research Laboratory.

And now, a team of researchers from Tulane University using infrared spectrometry to determine the chemical makeup of the blobs has detected the signature for Corexit, the dispersant BP used so widely in the Deepwater Horizon

"It does appear that there is a Corexit sort of fingerprint in the blob samples that we ran," Erin Gray, a Tulane biologist, told the Huffington Post Thursday. Two independent tests are being run to confirm those findings, "so don't say that we're 100 percent sure yet," Gray said.

"The chemistry test is still not completely conclusive," said Tulane biology professor Caz Taylor, the team's leader. "But that seems the most likely thing."

With BP's well possibly capped for good, and the surface slick shrinking, some observers of the Gulf disaster are starting to let down their guard, with some journalists even asking: Where is the oil?

But the answer is clear: In part due to the1.8 million gallons of dispersant that BP used, a lot of the estimated 200 million or more gallons of oil that spewed out of the blown well remains under the surface of the Gulf in plumes of tiny toxic droplets. And it's short- and long-term effects could be profound.

BP sprayed dispersant onto the surface of the slick and into the jet of oil and gas as it erupted out of the wellhead a mile beneath the surface. As a result, less oil reached the surface and the Gulf's fragile coastline. But more remained under the surface.

Fish, shrimp and crab larvae, which float around in the open seas, are considered the most likely to die on account of exposure to the subsea oil plumes. There are fears, for instance, that an entire year's worth of bluefin tuna larvae may have perished.

But this latest discovery suggests that it's not just larvae at risk from the subsurface droplets. It's also the animals that feed on them.

"There are so many animals that eat those little larvae," said Robert J. Diaz, a marine scientist at the College of William and Mary.

Oil itself is of course toxic, especially over long exposure. But some scientists worry that the mixture of oil with dispersants will actually prove more toxic, in part because of the still not entirely understood ingredients of Corexit, and in part because of the reduction in droplet size.

"Corexit is in the water column, just as we thought, and it is entering the bodies of animals. And it's probably having a lethal impact there," said Susan Shaw, director of the Marine Environmental Research Institute. The dispersant, she said, is like " a delivery system" for the oil.

Although a large group of marine scientists meeting in late May reached a consensus that the application of dispersants was a legitimate element of the spill response, another group, organized by Shaw, more recently concluded "that Corexit dispersants, in combination with crude oil, pose grave health risks to marine life and human health and threaten to deplete critical niches in the Gulf food web that may never recover."

One particular concern: "The properties that facilitate the movement of dispersants through oil also make it easier for them to move through cell walls, skin barriers, and membranes that protect vital organs, underlying layers of skin, the surfaces of eyes, mouths, and other structures."

Perry told the Huffington Post that the small size of the droplets was clearly a factor in how the oil made its way under the crab larvae shells. Perry said the oil droplets in the water "are just the right size that probably in the process of swimming or respiring, they're brought into that cavity."

That would not happen if the droplets were larger, she said.

The oil droplet washes off when the larvae molt, she said -- but that's assuming they live that long. Larvae are a major food source for fish and other blue crabs -- "their siblings are their favorite meal," Perry explained. Fish are generally able to excrete ingested oil, but inverterbrates such as crabs don't have that ability.

Perry said the discovery of the oil and dispersant blobs is very troubling -- but not, she made clear, because it has any impact on the safety of seafood in the short run. "Unlike heavy metals that biomagnify as they go up the foodchain, oil doesn't seem to do that," she said. Rather, she said, "we're looking at long-term ecological effects of having this oil in contact with marine organisms."

Diaz, the marine scientist from William and Mary, spoke at a lunchtime briefing about dispersants on Capitol Hill on Thursday.

Dispersant, he explained, "doesn't make the oil go away, it just puts it from one part of the ecosystem into another."

In this case, he said, "the decision was to keep as much of the oil subsurface as possible." As a result, the immediate impact on coastal wildlife was mitigated. But the effects on ocean life, he said, are less clear -- in part because there's less known about ocean ecosystems than coastal ones.

"As we go further offshore, as the oil industry has gone offshore, we find that we know less," he said. "We haven't really been using oceanic species to assess the risks, and this is a key issue."

(Similar concerns have been expressed about the lack of important data that would allow scientists to accurately assess the effects of the spill on the Gulf's sea turtles, whose plight is emerging as particularly poignant.)

Diaz warned of the danger posed to bluefin tuna -- and also to "the signature resident species in the Gulf, the shrimp." He noted that all three species of Gulf shrimp spawn offshore before moving back into shallow estuaries.

Diaz also expressed concern that dispersed oil droplets could end up doing great damage to the Gulf's many undersea coral reefs. "If the droplets agglomerate with sediment," he said, "they could even settle to the bottom."

Nancy Kinner, co-director of the Coastal Response Center at the University of New Hampshire, said the use of dispersants in this spill raises many issues that scientists need to explore, starting with the effects of long-term exposure. She also noted that scientists have never studied the effects of dispersants when they're injected directly into the turbulence of the plume, as they were here, or at such depth, or at such low temperatures, or under such pressure.

She also said it will be essential for the federal government to accurately determine how much oil made it out of the blown well. A key data point for scientists is the ratio of dispersant to oil, she said, and "if you don't know the flow rate of the oil, you don't know what you dispersant to oil ratio is."

After a series of ludicrous estimates, the federal government settled last month on an official estimate of about 20,000 to 40,000 barrels a day, but BP is widely expected to contest that figure and some scientists think it is still a low-ball estimate.

There seems to be no doubt that history will record that the use of dispersants was good for BP, making it harder to tell how much oil was spilled, and reducing the short-term visible impact. But what's less clear is whether it will turn out to have been good for the Gulf.

BP + Corexit + Nalco + Blackstone = $$$

"Why did BP and the EPA keep on using Nalco's Corexit"
=> Certain people sit in the board of directors of both BP and Nalco.

BP, NOAA, EPA Cover-Up: Neurotoxin Pesticide Dispersant Corexit's Lethal Effects
....
It might come as some big shock but there is increasing evidence to show that the EPA has lied ... yet again.
....
Independent water tests performed by Project Gulf Impact showed high levels of Corexit in the waters around Grand Isle, Louisiana, while EPA data showed no such contamination. Test results of all of the water samples that the EPA has done up until mid-July shows dozens of instances where the EPA is lying. In all likelihood, enough oil and toxic dispersants have been released into the Gulf of Mexico to contaminate the food chain: even NOAA has admitted that may have already happened.
....
So why is the EPA lying? Answer (and I agree with the EPA whistleblower, Mr. Kaufman): to protect the profits of the largest corporations from having to pay out billions of liability claims and fines.
....
A simple equation goes like this: less oil seen ... less fines to BP.

Read who owns BP and then guess who is going to pay for the long term effects...

Note that a large part of the $ spent by BP are spent withing the same "shareholder group"
So for the real owners it's just moving money.

Elena Kagan tied to Obama's birth certificate
'It just keeps getting deeper and deeper, doesn't it?

Just when you thought there couldn't be any more players in the ongoing soap opera over the hunt for President Obama's original birth certificate and his constitutional eligibility for office, there comes yet another name: Elena Kagan.

Yes, the same Elena Kagan nominated by the commander in chief to be the next justice on the U.S. Supreme Court has actually been playing a role for some time in the dispute over whether Obama is legally qualified to be in the White House.

Here's the connection. Kagan served as solicitor general of the United States from March 2009 until May of this year.

In that role, she legally represented the U.S. government in numerous cases coming before the Supreme Court.

A simple search of the high court's own website reveals Kagan's name coming up at least nine times on dockets involving Obama eligibility issues.

The fact Kagan handled these cases and is now Obama's first choice for the high court is raising some eyebrows.

"She was the solicitor general for all the suits against him filed with the Supreme Court to show proof of natural-born citizenship," notes WND reader Carl Jorgensen of Farmingdale, N.J. "He owes her big time."

"All of the requests were denied of course," Jorgensen continued. "They were never heard. It just keeps getting deeper and deeper, doesn't it? The American people mean nothing any longer. It's all about payback time for those that compromised themselves to elect someone that really has no true right to even be there. We should be getting so sick of all of this nonsense. The USA has finally become the laughing stock of the world. God help and deliver us."

 :sigh: Interview with Aaron Russo with Alex Jones.....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGAaPjqdbgQ

Some background.....

Was Aaron Russo Murdered?
Film producer & rock musician promoter Aaron Aaron died of bladder cancer on August 24, 2007, at age 64. Aaron successfully promoted musicians such as Janis Joplin, & bands such as The Who, The Grateful Dead, & Jefferson Airplane. He also produced films like The Rose, Trading Places, & a masterpiece documentary called, America: Freedom to Fascism. Those who knew him have described him as an energetic, passionate person, who excelled at most of the things he did.

There may be a variety of reasons for Aaron's life being cut short. For instance, there may be a long history of cancer in his family. Or, by his own accord, he may have inadvertently come into contact with some type of cancer-causing agent. Because I'm not aware of his family history, or other potential contributing factors, this article is somewhat speculation. In addition, during an August 29, 2007 interview on the Alex Jones show, Aaron's girlfriend, Heidi Gregg answered no, when asked if she thought Aaron's death was the result of a Directed Energy Weapon hit. She said that Aaron's death was due to his lifestyle.

However, on October 23, 2007, talk show host Alex Jones declared that Aaron privately told him that he'd been threatened & thought his cancer was the result of an attack. If it was a DEW hit, there are many questions that remain. For instance, if he thought he was attacked, why didn't he make public statements to this effect? He could also have posted information on his site pertaining to this. I don't have solid answers for these questions. But it's possible that he studied this phenomenon & knew there was no legal way stop it. It's possible that, based on his circumstances, he decided it would be best not to burden his friends & family with something they had no control over. This too is speculation.

So let's speculate. On a January 29, 2007 interview with film producer Alex Jones, Aaron stated that an attorney friend of his told him that one of the Rockefellers wanted to meet him after viewing his video, Mad as Hell, & finding out that he was running for governor of Nevada.(*) The interested individual turned out to be Nick Rockefeller. "I met him & I liked him," said Aaron. "He was a very, very smart man." According to Aaron, they became friends over a period of years. Rockefeller would visit his house for dinner, & they'd share thoughts & ideas. Various business opportunities were offered to Aaron during these visits.

"Nick & I discussed many things," mentioned Aaron, "one of the things we discussed was reducing world population. ... In a way, I agreed, there are too many people in the world, but I don't think I have the authority to say who's going to die & who's not going to die." "But," he continued, "they [the CFR] felt that they wanted to reduce world population," by about "fifty percent."

Aaron acknowledged, ""He was the one who told me eleven months before 911 ... happened that there was going to be an event, (he never told me what the event was going to be), but that there was going to be an event, & out of that event we would invade Afghanistan. ... [Then] we were going to invade Iraq to take over the oil fields & establish a base in the middle east." Other countries such as Venezuela will apparently also be invaded.

"I remember him telling me we were going to see [the military] looking in caves for people in Afghanistan & Pakistan," such as "Osama bin Laden," proclaimed Aaron. And that "there's going to be this war on terror in which there's no real enemy." Aaron explained that because this war on terror was to have no real enemy defined, it would be endless. According to him, this was to be done to terrorize the public into submission, as part of a strategy to bring about a "New World Order."

One such business opportunity offered to Aaron included an invitation to join the Council on Foreign Relations. "I was definitely being recruited," says Aaron. Apparently Aaron was well aware of the true intentions of the inner-core of the CFR. He answered, "As much as I like you Nick, your way isn't my way, we're on opposite sides of the fence. You know I don't believe in enslaving people." According to Aaron, Rockefeller's reply was, "What do you care about those people? What difference does in make to you? ... They're just serfs." Aaron described Nick's personality during this time as, "cold."

Continuing his depiction Aaron said, "I used to say to him, what's the point of all this? You have all the money in the world you need, you have all the power you need. What's the point? He said, "the end goal is to get everybody chipped, [in order] to control the whole society. ... To have the bankers & the elite people control the world." ... Do all the people in the Council on Foreign Relations believe the way you do? He said, "No, no, no. Most of them believe they're doing the right thing."" It looks as though at this point, Aaron was beginning to see the psychopathic traits in his friend manifest.

"He wanted me to become part of what they were doing & he wanted me to become a member of the CFR, & offered various business opportunities [to me]." Aaron expressed that Rockefeller wanted to get him to stop his political activities & join them. "[T]hey wanted me to join their side," said Aaron, "because they thought I was a mover & a shaker. And rather than me opposing them, [they wanted me] to join them. ... [But] I didn't go for it."

So, Aaron denied what he described as an unofficial invitation into the CFR, & decided not to drop his political convictions. In fact, he began to investigate the Federal Reserve & decided to produce probably one of the most important documentaries in history. It's called America: Freedom to Fascism, & in it Aaron targeted the head of the beast by exposing the sinister plans of the CFR, Rockefellers & other financial elitists.

The description of the film on Aaron's site is as follows, "This film which is neither left, nor right-wing is a startling examination of government. It exposes the systematic erosion of civil liberties in America since 1913 when the Federal Reserve system was fraudulently created. Through interviews with U.S. Congressmen, a former IRS Commissioner, former IRS and FBI agents and tax attorneys and authors, Aaron connects the dots between money creation, federal income tax, and the national identity card which becomes law in May 2008."

The explanation continues, "This ID card will use Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips which are essentially homing devices used to track people. This film shows in great detail and undeniable facts that America is moving headlong into a fascist police state. Wake up!" To this account I will add that probably most of the individuals that have studied the New World Order, have learned that this ID card is that last step before a microchipped population. This chip will probably be successfully sold to an already cowed public in a variety of ways. The Problem-Reaction-Solution formula, no doubt, will be one of them.

Whether you're a 911 Truther, a Targeted Individual, or part of the truth movement in general, you should know that the drive to abolish the Federal Reserve is probably the single most critical task to be accomplished. Aaron certainly recognized this. Remember, things such as 911 cover-ups & the Hidden Evil can only occur because congress & the president are not in control. They are puppets of corporations. The same applies to the leaders of the rest of the NATO nations. In reality, this is a global fascist-communist state, with the trappings of a democracy.

Aaron started a nation-wide movement to abolish the Federal Reserve. Because of his popularity & passion for following things through to perfection, he most likely would have been able to assemble massive support. The financial elite were well aware of his capabilities, which is why they attempted to recruit him in the first place. They obviously knew he could pose a significant threat to their control. They knew he had a plan that could potentially work. An intelligent, independent person, who won't sell out, is their worst enemy. In my opinion, he is exactly the type of person they would target.

Fortunately one of the legacies that Aaron left includes the, Restore the Republic website.(**) I'm sure the folks who run it are highly exceptional & competent. No doubt this essential movement to free the country (the planet) will continue. Even though this is the case, there's a type of energy that certain individuals give to an activity. A single person can literally motivate hundreds, thousands, or millions of people. Sometimes, just by their presence. There are many labels society can give to such individuals. The financial elite recognize that they exist, & when they're identified, they absolutely must be recruited or destroyed in some manner.(***)

One notable individual who vowed to shut down the Federal Reserve System was President John F. Kennedy. On June 4, 1963, he signed Executive Order 11110, which legally abolished it. On November 22, 1963 he was assassinated. Unfortunately we've entered an era when assassinations can be silent & traceless. There's no question about the existence of this technology. These weapons can murder people through walls, over a long distance. Most of all, they provide clever concealment by producing a death that has the appearance of a natural occurrence. Dr. Reinhardt Munzert refers to it as, "the perfect crime." Was Aaron Russo assassinated? We may never know for sure. One thing is for certain, the financial elite had the means, the motive, & the
