Secretary of the Navy Hatches Brilliant Plan to Sell More Gulf Seafood and Transport Oil to the War Zone
An unknown quantity of Gulf seafood is tainted with oil and/or dispersant. See this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this and this.
Some have speculated that Gulf seafood would be quietly sold to makers of cat and dog food, to avoid public scrutiny.
But the Secretary of Navy has a different idea – force the good men and women in our armed services to eat it.
As the Times Picayune reported yesterday:
Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, who doubles as President
Barack Obama’s point man on Gulf Coast oil spill recovery, is pressing
America’s armed services to consume as much Gulf seafood as possible.
Navy Capt. Beci Brenton said Monday that Mabus has talked with
Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and the secretaries of the Air Force
and Army, and his staff has talked to the Defense Commissary Agency,
which operates a worldwide chain of stores for military personnel,
making the point “that we should be buying Gulf Coast seafood.”
I have friends who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the thought
of folks in our armed services being fed Gulf seafood angers me.
Of course, the U.S. considers oil to be a national security issue, and the government spends a lot of money to get oil over to the various war theaters.
Indeed, BP is the main contractor supplying oil to the U.S. military.
The cynical might argue that Secretary Mobus is being callous in allowing our good service men and women to eat tainted seafood.
But maybe Secretary Mobus has an ingenious plan to cheaply
transport BP oil into Iraq and Afghanistan: shipping Gulf seafood to
commissaries and mess halls, and then having the troops march on their
stomachs and transport the oil out into the field.
Yes, the last sentence is parody.

I think Mabus should get his bellyfull first: http://www.anneofcarversville.com/storage/foie-gras.JPG?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1258547478198
Mabus?
How does that Nostradamus quatraine go again?
ahhh, yes ...
'Mabus' then will soon die, there will come
Of people and beasts a horrible rout:
Then suddenly one will see vengeance,
Hundred, hand, thirst, hunger when the comet will run.
...and so what is with those mass graves, again?
But of course, according to Nostradamus as well, it cannot happen until the 111th pope, who will be the last. Our current pope is the 110th. Maybe I will not feel comfortable until the 112th pope is in Rome and the Nostradamus prophecies are proven false and past.
Send the stuff to Washington, Senate, House, White House etc. If after 6 months or so if does not cause problems, then put it in the food stamp program.
I have an even better solution. Why send those shrimp all the way to Iraq? Just serve them up in school lunches. God bless America.
They already tried something similar. Salmonella tainted ground beef, a few years ago, not allowed to be sold to public, but .Gov allowed it to be used for school lunches and military. It was only the outcry from health inspectors that brought it to light and stopped. Gov logic was if they cooked it to the proper temp, the salmonella would be no threat. They often still use this logic in food borne illness cases, that it is not the fault of the producers of the tainted food, it is the fault of the end user cuz they didn't cook to proper temp. Caveat Emptor.
show me a video of assholes mabus and gates eating the shit and then maybe i will stop calling them assholes and murderers....i hope those creeps die of cancer and soon....
i could get behind the Mabus plan... but we should limit it to the pentagon cafeteria.
It may interest you to review the actions of the USSR and Russia regarding vegetables and other items produced in and around the Chernobyl exclusion zone. Western media is more forthcoming on that topic. Basically the foodstuffs are distributed throughout the USSR/Russia. The Soviet's tactics may be applied here.
It's always the top of the food chain that pays the price. Put the seafood in the House and Senate dining rooms...
Will Ray Mabus be consuming the first plate of "Light Sweet" and Sour Shrimp ?
I think Mabus, the CONgress and Whitehouse should eat the seafood 3x a day to show the country that it is safe.
"dumb, stupid animals" to be used in carrying out foreign policy. Henry K. to Haig.
Was not Mabus a name mentioned by Nostradamus as a harbinger of catastrophic things to come?
Yes ...
"'Mabus' then will soon die, there will come
Of people and beasts a horrible rout:
Then suddenly one will see vengeance,
Hundred, hand, thirst, hunger when the comet will run."
I think he should spell his name Mobius. Google it.
It speaks to the irony of BP, our military, oil, etc, etc.
not a bad idea. then our "boys" can piss oil to lube all their weapons.
Disperse the poison among the population, thereby hiding its nature and making it difficult to pinpoint a geographical location as the source.
The military are not like your every day urban liberal organic whole foods shopper, where getting non-fair trade bananas means indigestion and a guilty conscience; so dainty and pretentious.
We're talking about actual men.
Really? Are real men stupid as well? I like to think we're better than that and I want to think we would treat our troops better. They are not impervious to poison, last time I checked, they still issue gas masks, yes?
So, until we can chug a lieter of motor oil, we're not 'actual' men? Here I was thinking that it was about being an adult or taking responsibility for your life. Boy have I been barking up the wrong tree. I'm off to the shell station right now, lets do this!
Safer to be a page under Bwaney than as a serviceperson.
Or maybe not, he's been into the shrimp cocktail (pun intended) lately.
SICK EFFING BASTARD.
Grotesque. Apparently team O is staffed top to bottom with fools and craven idiots.
They're not idiots. They know exactly what they're doing. Holdren and Sunstein are all about population reduction. Hey, why not kill off a bunch of patriotic Americans who might be a problem later?
Herod judged John The Baptist a potential leader of revolution. Snuffed him.
School Of Americas et al use same tech...disappear the potential opposition...younger the better.
Examples abound.
This is PAR, for the course, feed them poison,and in 10-20yrs they develop diseases unknown to man, or so costly to treat, they may as well be cannon fodder.
Its crap like this that makes me wonder why our armed forces has ANY volunteers.
History has proven, WE do not take care of our own, they are paid less, and have more issues with PSTD, and familial issues than any demographic group.
I say, FEED this DICK the seafood,And all of D.C.'s Federal employees also.
See what they think of the idea.
Petro based methane farts,light a match and you have walking IED's.

So Mississippi's ex-governor is now Secretary of the Navy? Does anyone realize the the death of one "Mabus" is said by Nostradamus to trigger the third world war?
Better Idea: Feed it to Wall Street top brass first, then military leadership and congress. If after 5 years of this, the leadership show no signs of ill health, then allow the troops to be nourished on it.
They don't care about the boots on the ground or on the deck.

...kind of gives new meaning to the "gulf syndrome" the troops have endured over the past two decades...now, it will morph into a new breed of created disease that will baffle the doctors and 60 minutes will tick tick tick away a bewildered synopsis of what is ailing our troops while being advertised by the larger corporations funding it all...and what about the preppers stocking up on MREs?
Well, "gulf syndrome" is only baffling if they choose to deny that breathing depleted uranium causes health problems.
Of course, mix that in with a little petroleum/core exit, and the complexity of symptoms can indeed become baffling for real.
That name Mabus rings a bell.....that is the name mentioned in Nostradamus's end of world predictions.
Maybe the HFT machines can figure this out?
Mabus then will soon die, there will come
Of people and beasts a horrible rout:
Then suddenly one will see vengeance,
Hundred, hand, thirst, hunger when the comet will run.
Century II, Quatrain 62
yes it is.....I caught that too
Shouldn't that be Shrimp Tarball? Mr Warhol, sir?
Fram chowder?
Ok, something tells me you're using a different "blackened" recipe...
Nice! Another T-shirt candidate.
Nice WB. That should be sent to BP HQ and the Financial Times.
I played with Gumbo
And I bet you thought we'd never export oil to the Middle East.
U-S-A!
U-S-A!

Heeeyyyy-ooooohh.
Seriously, even if the Gulf oil disaster were the result of completely natural phenomenon this is disgraceful. How about an ACORN appreciation banquet at Red Lobster instead?
I knew Obama wasn't a big military man but Yikes! At least in the Tuskegee experiment the government didn't actually infect the subjects with syphilis.
So they say. It is well documented that American doctors deliberately infected their victims in Guatemala, and considering the attitudes of the times I doubt whether the Tuskegee victims were all "found" cases, not to mention the congenital cases involving children.
Funny thing, human nature. We're often more cruel to those we have wronged.
Reflexive assumtions about bad faith in the history of American medicine is a funny thing too.
In 1932 existing therapies for syphilis were often worse than the disease itself and not particularly effective. Blacks were chosen for the experiment in part because of their much higher infection rates in the general population. Penicillin was originally non-existent then scarce and strictly rationed during the war (my grandfather used to fight his superiors all the time - they wanted the shots given to otherwise able-bodied soldiers with VD over sick soldiers wounded in battle). Even after penicillin became more widely available, it's not exactly a magic bullet for advanced syphilis and was at least thought to be dangerous for such patients. As far as I know the Tuskegee experiment was done with the full knowledge of the local black medical community even though the subjects themselves were kept in the dark. And I think a bunch of them lived to pretty ripe old ages - the last one dying this past month or so.
I'm not saying Tuskegee was totally on the straight and narrow, especially by today's (sometimes dubious) medical ethics standards. But it's easy to forget that there was a time when sacrificing the lives of a few in an attempt to save the lives of many was considered a no-brainer. The advances in treating burn victims made by Frannie Moore at Mass General during the Cocoanut Grove nightclub fire of 1942 were made under conditions that would be considered unconscionable today yet the resulting contributions to medical science (which untold numbers have since benefited from) is beyond doubt. Advancing human medicine can be a messy business and given this, for better or worse, more and more significant medical breakthroughs are and will continue to be made outside of the United States.
Why would the "higher incidence" in blacks (if even true) be any reason to experiment on them? There would still be ,numerically, far more whites with the disease. Why would it matter anyway, was the cure race specific?
While I know there are many fine Doctors out there, the profession, as a whole, is full of assholes and power-trippers.
Isn't it true that the AMA has refused to condemn Drs. helping to torture people?
New York Medical College in Valhalla has illegally tried to bust unions. Anyone with info on financial and other misdeeds at NYMC- let me know- a reward is available for any info leading to the conviction of anyone in management at New York Medical College.
We're talking pre-WWII deep south here. A study with blacks and whites about apple pie probably wouldn't have been feasible...so they went for the target-rich environment. But yes, I'm sure it was easier to take advantage of poor blacks and order them around. Typically medical testing isn't exactly conducted with subjects taken from the top tier of the socio-economic ladder even today.
The AMA, as far as I can tell, is famous for making very politically weighted judgements regarding the practice of medicine so it's hard to say what their reasoning was in any specific circumstance.
