The Oil Spill 'Puzzle'---

"Think for yourself. Everybody tells you to do this from the moment you start school but nobody ever really means it. If you doubt me, try doing it at a university." ---from A THOUSAND PATHS TO PERSONAL POWER by Robert Allen

Re: the Oil Spill 'Crisis'---a few factoids (puzzle pieces)

1. BP and Goldman Sachs dumped piles of BP stock just before the Gulf Oil "Leak"

2. Obama's cadre of administrators, czars and advisors is infested with Goldman Sachs connected folks, labor union bosses, green industry wonks ... See More

3. Goldman Sachs, BP, GE, American labor unions and George "Auric" Soros have been major contributors to Obama's campaign

4. As long as the crisis continues, and drilling is 'temporarily' shut down in the Gulf, the more valuable Soros' Brazilian offshore drilling operation becomes

5. Obama continues to sit on allowing international help with cleaning up the oil spill, which preserves US unions' power in the region and exacerbates the 'crisis'

6. The resulting 'energy and ecological crisis' strenghens cases for alternative energy subsidies, cap and trade. Who will benefit from rerouting resources to expensive alternative energy? GE

7. Prestidigitators and tyrants need distractions and boogey-men, and usually the 'bad guys' are covertly on the payroll, one way or another

All begging the question, do we need all 500 pieces of the puzzle to see the picture?
