DHS Works Hand in Hand with BP Security and Local Police

Over the past month there has been numerous reports of BP security intimidating  journalists and blocking access to certain areas, including refineries as far away as Texas. We now have documented evidence that not only BP security, but local police and DHS have taken part in “police state” tactics against reporters, denying them their first amendments rights and threatening them with arrest.

Lance Rosenfield, on assignment for PBS Frontline, was detained and integrated by the Joint Terrorism Task force for photographing a Texas City highway sign in public.

The photographer, Lance Rosenfield, said that shortly after arriving in town, he was confronted by a BP security officer, local police and a man who identified himself as an agent of the Department of Homeland Security. He was released after the police reviewed the pictures he had taken on Friday. They recorded his date of birth, Social Security number and other personal information.

The police officer then turned that information over to the BP security guard under what he said was standard procedure, according to Rosenfield. ProPublica.com

Our government and local law enforcement is actively sharing intelligence on U.S. citizens with a foreign corporation. This leads to the questions, what is DHS and the Joint Terrorism Task Force even doing protecting a British Petrolatum Refinery?

Apparently the government isn’t breaking any laws by passing citizens information to a foreign entity. Texas City lays just off the coast, an area known as the, “unconstitutional zone.” In 2008, Natural News reported that close to two thirds of the population now live within 100 miles of the coast, an area where authorities have unlimited power.

With free speech banned throughout the Gulf, it is now even more important for citizens to break this media blackout and demand that British Petroleum immediately stops spraying Corexit 9500, the same highly toxic chemical that was used during the Exxon Valdez. Unfortunately, not one person who worked clean up during the 1989 oil spill, is alive to speak today.

It appears that these agencies are involved in a major cover-up. If we as the American people let this go much further, private corporations will soon rule every aspect of our lives. DHS and other agencies keep gaining more and more power; at the same time the American people keep losing ground to the tyrannical government. This situation is so bad that we might soon find ourselves dead in the water when it comes to our freedoms.

On June 30, 2010 the madam president blocked a almost unanimous vote of 420 to 1 to investigate the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill. This is a reminder to some of what happened after 9/11 when bush appointed his own commission. There is an obvious cover-up. What will it take for the American people to act? What has happened in our country to stop the American people from standing up to this tyranny?
