Svanberg, while defending the BP CEO, acknowledged <span class=”yshortcuts” id=”lw_1276884930_8″>the Hayward</span>’s comments have not been helpful to the company’s efforts to control fallout from the disaster.</p><p><span style=”color: rgb(204, 153, 51);”><span style=”font-weight: bold;”><span style=”font-size:130%;”><span style=”color: rgb(0, 0, 0);”>The Gulf of Mexico Oil Disaster is making a lot of people really sick ~ <a href=”http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/the-gulf-of-mexico-oil-spill-is-making-a-lot-of-people-really-sick”>link</a> ~ </span></span></span></span><span style=”color: rgb(102, 102, 102);”>The Gulf of Mexico oil spill is already the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history, but what most people don’t know is that it is rapidly turning into a public health disaster of frightening proportions. Reports are scattered and mostly anecdotal at this point (as BP and the U.S. government try to keep a lid on information getting out), but it is becoming increasingly clear that the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and/or the chemical dispersants being used are making a lot of people sick. So far most of the reports have been about breathing difficulties, vomiting and various flu-like symptoms. But it is the health effects that will take a long time to show up that are the most concerning. For example, this oil spill has released massive amounts of benzene into the Gulf. Benzene actually enters human cells and damages DNA material. In fact, the Department of Health and Human Services tells us that exposure to benzene has been proven to cause leukemia. So are we about to see a massive wave of cancer sweep the Gulf coast?</span><span style=”color: rgb(204, 153, 51);”><span style=”font-weight: bold;”><span style=”font-size:130%;”><span style=”color: rgb(102, 102, 102);”></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style=”color: rgb(204, 153, 51);”><span style=”font-weight: bold;”><span style=”font-size:130%;”><span style=”color: rgb(255, 0, 0);”>Israeli Prime Minister’s office announces let-up to Gaza siege – but only in English ~ <a href=”http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/israel-announces-let-up-to-gaza-siege-but-only-in-english-1.296809″>link </a>~ <span style=”color: rgb(255, 102, 102);”>Bibi and his fellow clowns simply cannot tell the truth, they don’t have it within themselves.<br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><h2 style=”font-weight: normal; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);”><span style=”font-size:100%;”>Prime Minister’s office issues two statements, one in English announcing plan to ease blockade, one in Hebrew omitting to mention the decision. </span></h2><span style=”color: rgb(204, 0, 0);”>The Prime Minister’s Office announced on Thursday that the security cabinet had agreed to relax Israel’s blockade on the Gaza Strip, but as it turns out, no binding decision was ever made during the cabinet meeting.<br /></span><div style=”text-align: left;”><table class=”features” border=”0″ cellspacing=”0″ width=”474″><tbody><tr></tr><tr><td rowspan=”2″> <img title=”Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu” class=”" style=”" src=”http://www.haaretz.com/polopoly_fs/1.296075.1276501637%21/image/3168392768.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_295/3168392768.jpg” alt=”Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu” /> </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style=”color: rgb(204, 0, 0);”></span></div><p><span style=”color: rgb(204, 153, 51);”><span style=”font-weight: bold;”><span style=”font-size:130%;”><span style=”color: rgb(255, 0, 0);”><span style=”color: rgb(255, 102, 102);”></span>Assad: Israel raid on Gaza Aid Flotilla raises the risk of Mideast war ~ <a href=”http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/syria-israel-raid-on-gaza-flotilla-raises-risk-of-mideast-war-1.296723″>link</a> ~</span></span></span></span> <span style=”color: rgb(204, 0, 0);”>Syrian President Bashar Assad said Thursday that Israel is being run by a “pyromaniac government”, warning that its raid on a humanitarian aid flotilla bound for the Gaza Strip had increased the risks of war in the region. </span></p> <p style=”color: rgb(204, 0, 0);”>The Israeli commando attack on a flotilla in which nine pro-Palestinian Turkish activists were killed had “destroyed any chance for peace in the near future”, Assad told the BBC in a television interview aired on Thursday. </p><table class=”features” border=”0″ cellspacing=”0″ width=”474″><tbody><tr></tr><tr><td rowspan=”2″> <img title=”Syrian President Bashar Assad” class=”" style=”" src=”http://www.haaretz.com/polopoly_fs/1.296726.1276755458%21/image/4263949434.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_295/4263949434.jpg” alt=”Syrian President Bashar Assad” /></td></tr></tbody></table><p><span style=”color: rgb(204, 153, 51);”><span style=”font-weight: bold;”><span style=”font-size:130%;”>14 Reasons why the US Government will never have a balanced budget ever again ~ <a href=”http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/14-reasons-why-the-u-s-government-will-never-have-a-balanced-budget-ever-again”>link</a> ~ </span></span></span><span style=”color: rgb(153, 102, 51);”><span style=”font-weight: bold;”><span style=”font-size:130%;”>Actually it could if it got rid of the Federal Reserve and issued currency bills instead of bonds.</span></span></span></p><p style=”color: rgb(153, 102, 51);”><br /></p></div><span style=”font-size: 100%;”><span class=”aptureLink ” id=”apture_prvw1″><span class=”aptureLink aptureLink snap_noshots ” id=”apture_prvw1″></span></span></span></div></div><div class=”blogger-post-footer”><img width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1230888779321526974-61785321443908517?l=europebusines.blogspot.com’ alt=” /></div>
