You Are Not Authorized to See These Pictures of the Oil Spill, Citizen ... Do Not Look!

My children are devastated as am I.

I asked is it really true was were forbidden by law to take pictures of oiled wildlife.. I guess I have my answer and people are blowing the 65 feet thing way out of proportion.

Besides.. you can find oiled wildlife much further than 65 feet from a cleanup site.

Yep. The Police State fetishists are foaming at the mouth at the thought of being able to live in a REAL LIFE police state, so they can brag to their friends.

Unfortunately, the reality is FAR more benign, as usual. And, just like all the ALL CAPS declarations of MASS EVACUATION, they are all wildly inaccurate and blown out pf proportion for their own ego's sake.

at the risk of being repetetive - can you , or any one else who believes this idiocy please cite the law that prevents taking pictures ?

reply to post by ignorant_ape



why are you asking me?

Ive stated numerous times i think the law is being intentionally misinterpreted by the police state fetishists.

man, what a mess.
i've gotten this far, and had to take a break.
is this dude freakin' nuts? he'll make a good test subject for corexit. i wonder if anyone took a sample in the area.

I wonder if anyone verified where this picture came from in the first place... maybe it's a complete fake like the OP's pic of an oil covered sea otter since there are no sea otters in the Gulf.

point well taken, i scanned right by it, did not register.
now that i have read most of the thread i see the possibility.

here's the caption to the photo, maybe it can be confirmed......or not.

APTN photographer Rich Matthews dives into the water to take a closer look at oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill on June 7, 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico south of Venice, Louisiana. (AP Photo/Eric Gay)

i'm thinking it's legit.

from the boston globe link i posted above.bp workers using the highest technology available.

To the OP,

Yes I am in tears. God bless us and you man. Yes when is enough enough?

I know that's not the most important of issues at hand here, but at some point, doesn't it appear seafood is no longer going to be an option in the human diet? I don't see how the majority of the fish in any of our oceans aren't going to suffer some level of poisoning when it's all said and done. Obviously that isn't going to bode well for humanity, economically or otherwise.

Soooooo....from your perspective if a person intentionally poisoned another body of water other than the Gulf you need some-kind of justification to become upset?

"This Picture Of A Poisoned Body Of Water Is NOT From The Gulf, It Is Not Important. Move Along People, Nothing To See Here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I Began This OP I Was Under the Impression That ALL The Pictures Were From The Gulf.

It Is My Believe That If Journalist and Photographers Were Not Being Threatened With Huge Fines And Prison, We Would See Pictures MUCH MUCH MUCH More Disturbing Than Those In The OP

I am not sure if you understand the ramifications of this total disregard of our (let me repeat that...OUR) Mother Earth's well being.

Work With Me For Just A Moment, Please - I BEG YOU!

Put into your mind your favorite place. Now, If somebody totally destroyed that favorite place how would you feel?

Put the destruction of your favorite place in mind when you hear for the very first time that hundreds of thousands of people who considered your favorite place their favorite place but also their HOME!

Maybe yes... maybe no.... I guess you'll just have to keep copying and pasting pics from all over the web and keep trying to prove that you're right... that it's "...MUCH MUCH MUCH More Disturbing..." than what you're showing.

I haven't seen anything convincing either way regarding this oil spill in the Gulf. What I have seen that's convincing is the toxicity of the corexit, it's adverse effects on human health in the Valdez spill and now in the Gulf, and the effects it's having on plant life based on this July 3rd, video account (6 short videos) from Fort Worth Texas which I find the most convincing of all the vids so far regarding the damage caused to plant life from raining chemicals.

After watching those 6 short videos there's no doubt in my mind that those chemicals are raining death.

OK, Now I Am REALLY Upset With You...Just Kidding, I Think!!

This video was linked in the related of your video link and just thought I would add.

What message are they trying to portray in this video? Are they concerned about our environment or just some basic notoriety? If it is the latter, they are worse than the whores who created this mess.

I think this actress performed much better in the Gokkun Music Video:

Grief.... if the makers of this vid only understood that the powers controlling BP care about dolphins... it's the American people living in the Gulf they despise.

This is why I'm beginning to suspect that the dolphins are going to be much better off than the humans in the Gulf when this operation is brought to fruition.

So posting the same pictures of the oil leak that have been around on the internet for months is somehow new and exciting?

No... posting pictures of oil leaks going back to the Exxon Valdez " is somehow exciting."

I am a bit confused, are you waffling?

Which pictures are not from the current Gulf Oil Gusher?

If you can point me in the right direction to valid sources that any of the pictures in the OP are misleading in regards to current events in the Gulf I would be happy to go back and edit.

Any help in correcting misleading information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You For Taking The Time & Interest In Replying.
