Straight from the Beach!

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

I received the below email from an acquaintance, ‘K’. He’s a little unpolished, but understandably a little upset at his vacation plans being disrupted and, as you can see, was intended for wide distribution. Strong language warning- do not read if offended by profanity. I cut/pasted it directly, so it is a little rough looking:

Hello Comrade(s),
(Please don’t respond to this message, Thank You)

The news so far today (6am) is awash with horse sh!t of little consequence to most of us, strangely devoid of anything solid. There was not much sleep for the wicked last night. There is a nagging problem here, slowly revealing itself.

I noticed increased aircraft (helicopter & small plane) traffic yesterday out in front of this place we are at –Marco Island, Fl.,gulf front, if you have a map, look it up. It’s in North America. I think someone is looking for something out there & it’s not sharks or bikinis..

Reports from reputed ‘insider sources’ appear to paint a different picture of the gulf oil catastrophe than the sheeple news is reporting. Apparently there is a continuing engineered news ‘blackout’, errors of omission of course(!), concerning the seriousness of the unfolding cataclysm here. This has the real potential to be a non-local event. Local being if you live anyplace between Brownsville TX & Lubec Maine & beyond to the east. Ocean currents run that way, you know. I guess if you’re inland a hundred or two miles, you may not be affected. Can you believe it? People have to live somewhere. Most live along coastlines. Funny, ain’t it?

My gut & eyes tell me the people here are wide awake with shock & well aware of the clear & present danger here & at the same time, mostly helpless. The tension is beyond palpable & increasing..

In any case, it seems that FEMA, DHS, Army, National Guard, the EPA & a host of other alphabet soup groups may soon announce that evacuations must begin along Florida’s west coast as glossy ’sheen’, ‘globs’ or ‘pucks’ of oil solids, petroleum fumes and fire plumes are not compatible with a weakened respiratory systems of the old, the young and sometimes the in-betweens. There’s lots of stuff still alive underwater too I think.

Oceanographers, engineers, emergency response teams, environmentalists, NOAA people, and a massive number of American citizens living along these shores are bracing for the worst. It seems that in FL. alone, there are some 2200+ miles of shoreline to protect & only 16 miles of oil boom available as of a day or so ago and we all know that liquids flow pretty much wherever they want anyhow…… hurricanes can really ruin the best laid plans, you know? I was here about 6 years ago when 3 blew through. I caught the middle one. Yes.

Most who have been paying attention over these years can likely guess the next moves: nationalization of the oil industry perhaps, massive cover ups, ‘grillings’ of a host of people with nobody being nailed to anything, sh!tloads of new environmental legislation which won’t mean a goddamn thing (since the damage is DONE) except for, perhaps, a worldwide tax on YOUR ass to clean this f^^^ing nightmare up which will never happen because it cannot be done. We’ll be fleeced anyhow. “You ARE with ‘us’, aren’t you??”

Am I being too pessimistic on all this? Don’t pass judgment. I am no expert on this crap. This is just an acidic regurgitation of someone else’s sick musings.
