The Cover-Up: BP's Crude Politics and the Looming Environmental Mega-Disaster

This is a great article by Wayne Madsen about what they (some high level government officials and corporation executives) don't want you to know regarding the undersea "erupting oil volcano" disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.  This disaster and the related cover-up is what happens when the merger of state and corporate powers occurs - fascism. Under fascism, the CEO of BP can make proclamations implying that the benefits of deep undersea drilling outweigh the costs.  When heads of corporations have attitudes like this the environment suffers and ultimately, we all suffer. Under fascism, corporations literally write the regulations that govern them, under a policy of voluntary compliance in many cases. Shame on you Haliburton and shame on you Bush Administration for allowing this to happen!  Shame on you President Roosevelt for setting the stage for fascism with your Unconstitutional expansion of government powers.  President Obama, please come out of those backroom deal meetings with the CEO of BP and come clean - be honest with the American people about the true magnitude of this environmental disaster and let's work together to clean it up, fix it, and take steps to make sure it never happens again.
