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.

Operation Broken Condom was the framing of Assage.
There are many worthy destinations for Gulf Seafood come to mind, like the Senate Dining Room and the partners eatery at Goldman. Our boys and gals in Brioni deserve the best.
And -30 times -29 does equal 870

Same as it ever was...Thanks CD.
I mean really, they must have Bozo the Clown running their PR machine
We all know that "The Lie" doesn't need to make any sense or even conform to reality, just that it must support prior lies or lay the ground for future lies. And just as important, to satisfy the need of those who wish to believe to lie to continue to believe the lies.
"Daddy, tell me another lie so that I may believe it's the truth."
I have a friend who was married to a serial cheater. Every time he was caught cheating he would make extravagant promises and incredibility she accepted his lies time after time. This went on for 7 years. When he finally left my friend, she was shocked and dismayed and thus deeply heartbroken. Three years later, she still hasn't recovered.
Yet no one, let alone my friend, is willing to discuss why she continued to accept his lies. Who's the real and fundamental problem here, the serial cheater or the person who is desperate to believe the lies? And is there any difference between this anecdote and the American people?
I think there is a Victims Anonymous chapter near your friend's house.
The serial victim is just another type of addict with the same underlying issues. Thus a serial victim is afflicted with victimism. It doesn't matter what comes in front as long as it's followed by the "ism".
The same applies to the average American citizen consumer. We are serial victims and are thus terminally ill with victimism.
Do for her what a friend did for me:
Call her a fool and walk out of the room.
It was like a slap in the face, but it did the trick.
Actually I did something close to that about 6 months ago. I still consider her a close friend. She no longer feels the same way about me.
If you think about it, for those who are in deep denial it's worth it to lose a friend rather than face yourself. You can replace friends but you might not survive the ego destruction of a fearless self examination.
For me, the self examination (I can't call it fearless) did not result in ego destruction. Quite the contrary. Nor was it instantaneous.
Hi my name is Knukles and I'm a victim but nobody knows it.
Thatll give you the OIT!
LOL.
WB, you need to get with the program. Most automobile engine oil now-a-days is 5W30. Clearly you're an old school kind of guy. :>)
I guess I am one of those fossils who actually changed his own oil every 3000 miles
I have a deep seated memory of a near death situation many decades ago. I was 19 and had my Chevy Impala up on blocks to remove and replace the standard transmission. Short story, I figured I could do it myself. On my back under the transmission as I unbolted it, thinking I could lift the weight. When it settled onto my chest, I couldn't get enough leverage in my arms to lift it back off. It was much heavier than I expected and it had me pinned to the ground with the transmission jammed between the sides and me. I couldn't move.
So there I was on the ground for 7 hours during December cold in New England in the back of the house I rented with a room mate who was away for the weekend. I hollered and screamed and cried and eventually made my peace and was ready to die from the deeply set hypothermia. Then a friend came by to party and, failing to get a response to the door bell, came around the back side of the house. I heard him and started to scream again.
He called the police and fire department and I was out in 10 minutes. It took a full 24 hours before I warmed up again. Memories of near death last a lifetime.
Stood guard with the jack as my son didn't want to have a repeat of the solo. 7 hours. Hmmm. His intitial was just a bad slam by a tranny that slipped. But I relate. Safety and backup. Greetings.
I survived my stupidity. Some don't and become statistics. I got lucky because I was near death and hallucinating. I thought the friend who came around the back was an angel coming to get me and I didn't want to be overlooked under the car.
At the time I didn't know it was my friend. So I was actually calling for the angel to come get me, not my friend. The story of my rescue was related to me by the police and family at the hospital the next day when I became lucid.
Dogs, Nail Guns, Transmissions
Oh my!
CD, you have (thankfully) survived some close calls!
I'm not the brightest bulb in the bunch. :>)
Actually I'm just stupid enough to admit it. You ask most males when they're feeling secure and unthreatened and nearly all with regal you with acts of monumental stupidity when they were younger. This is precisely why they send the under 25 crowd to fight the wars. Brawn with no brains and ignorant of their situation. Oh, and easily conditioned by the alpha dog.
In the constant Fascist quest to augment corporate profits, I thought the tainted shrimp and fouled fish would be used as weapons against the brown people that live there. Are you sure the Air Farce isn't going to drop it on the opium crop and throw lit matches at it? Or is the opim is too valuable to burn? Since the troops are there to make sure the money flows the 'right' way anyways... perhaps the troops won't eat the 'Creatures a la Crude.'
Anyone reading this post should realize GW ALSO thinks OBL is innocent of commiting 9/11 - it is actually just a government conspiracy. By $hitting on the graves of those killed he is essentially nothing but a whacko.
Most of us realize you are a pitiful troll, one who continues to buy the 9/11 murder of US citizens by our government as foreign terrorism and that the gulf is clean and clear. Just as YOU are shitting on the graves of good New Yorkers- you hope to encourage the poisoning of our troops and a shortened life from cancer?
You are the worst kind of human- selling your soul and killing your neighbors.
Please Sean7k, we are adults here. Please don't feel the need to sugar coat it. ;)
Some would argue not investigating things like building 7 or the money trail, as admitted by the 9/11 commission and being lied to by the FAA/NORAD also admitted by the 9/11 comission does not constitute justice for the families. Some who argue that ARE the families. www.buildingwhat.org
You are on the wrong side of history friend.
This comes as no surprise. A leadership that happily sends its men out to get blown to smithereens to benefit the MIC is not going to hesitate to feed them petro-chemically 'enhanced' foodstuffs to benefit the oil lobby. And the fishing lobby.
Time to remove the government.
Paragraph 2 of the Declaration of Independence:
"... whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends [inaliendable rights...life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness]], it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
Not only has the U.S. Government been found guilty of feeding us mental and visual shit but they are managing to physically hurt people in ways never before imagined by the most deceptive and conniving practices.
Cheers from São Paulo, Brazil, my new home. BTW it ain't no fucking picnic to pick-up your stuff and move away from American terror; things are tough everywhere but we must make a stand to domestically because when the American state crashes, plenty of leaders will come up with tyranical arguments such as 'look at what freedom caused', 'look how capitalism destroys countries', 'markets are bad for your health' and other non-sense.
Run all you want Conrad Black, but what shithole island will you be on when people that actually give a shit stand up en masse and fight this power. Move to Kiribati for all I fucking care but the more educated and freedom-loving people on our side the better.
Cheers from the office, fuck-it I'm out this bitch.
Easy. Withdraw your consent. It really is that simple.
Works for me. Also, when "complying" with any demands from "authorities" I tell them that since I have no "lawful" means to resist I'm only cooperating under a state of duress, and that I morally object to their tyranny. Especially when I have to pay tribute to them yearly just to "own" things like a car, or a cow.
Unless they are armed highwaymen, that is. Then I just play nice and dumb, presenting myself in a totally non-threatening manner. In these instances, going grey and/or bald at a young age pays dividends. They even compound, as every time I get let off, it keeps my record clean longer for the next time.
Our men and women in uniform have long been subjected to experimentation and exploitation. A quick Internet search will bring up one shocking revelation after another. In fact, this is a tradition in the military going back thousands of years. Call it a captive audience that blindly follows orders. It just too irresistible to the sociopaths not to abuse what they see as compliant and obedient tools.
Time to remove your consent.
what about possible oil contamination? what about some that may be allergic? bp is british petroleum. england has been subverted by islam, therefore buying from pb is paying money to the unofficial enemy. this is toxic and self defeating on very many levels. obama always hated the military for it integrity. so, who will stand up for soldier's right's to proper healthy nutrition?

Wait are you suggesting England has been taken over by Islamic elements? Seriously?

Can't afford to keep them in the field but can't afford to bring them home because they are likely to add order to the chaos when the whole population revolts (Old Ceasars problem from millennia ago).
Hey, how about we poison them so that they can't organise the masses and take control.
Amazing.
Indeed. And the history of this Country has been to treat the Veterans like crap, going all the way back to George Washingtons' time. Let us not forget the attack on the Veterans in Washington D.C. during the Great Depression, lead by none other than Dwight Eisenhower, George Patton, and Douglas McArthur.
I was one of the first to point out the use of this toxic crap in pet food. I had thought we had moved on beyond giving it to our soldiers. Silly me. Corporate interests always rule over the military, even still, and I should have seen this one coming.
Normally they try to keep it secret though, don't they? Why would they announce this?
I'm sure the official position is that there is no oil, dispersant, or any other danger involved. As demonstrated by Obama's bit of seafood theatre not long ago.
You know,
They do have a rather large cafeteria system in the Congressional Complex, the Pentagon, and various other entities.
Perhaps they could serve that "blackened flatfish in Oil" to the "head of the fish" first?
Alas, its not to be.
Just as in a Nuclear War, the Top Dogs will be safe and sound eating sterile manna while we pound crushed glass and play with each other's glownads.
The New Orleans "Times Picayune" is hardly an announcement. The folks in N O who sell the petrochemically enhanced versions of seafood will already know this is going on; the rest of the country will be watching TranceVision.
