Independent blood testing by environmental groups and independent scientists along the Gulf is finding exceedingly high concentrations of chemicals in people's veins ... people who live near the Coast, former BP cleanup workers and even one man who lives 100 miles from the coast ... everyone is testing positive with BP's toxic chemicals in their blood stream.
'...and the devastation continues in the Gulf... the chemical smell would knock you over. There is oil sheen everywhere, tar balls, crews walking the beach picking up buckets full of them."
FDA and NOAA were pushing to open Gulf waters to fishing, despite inadequate sampling and testing of the seafood.
"For decades seafood has been unsafe for human consumption throughout the North Atlantic, the Atlantic seaboard, and especially the Chesapeake Bay areas due to heavy metals, pesticides, sewage and agriculture run-off. Yet, with this in mind, the bureaucracies that regulate these have almost always only concerned themselves with economics. Concerns that lay offs and lost revenue seem to almost always dictate the choices that the so-called servants of the people follow. Money first and foremost, health concerns last.
What do you hear from the local, state, and federal governments? The 'all clear' was sounded, seafood is safe, let's promote our tourism and fishing industries to keep up our tax revenues ... this song has been sung way too many times.
"We're Poisoned. We're Sick."
