Did BP Lobby To Have A Terrorist Released In Exchange For Libyan Oil? If So, Should They Be Tried For Treason?

If this is true, it's not much of a stretch to conclude BP lobbied on behalf of terrorists and should be tried under U.S. law as this lobbyist was. Or at the minimum, be kept from bidding on government contracts. BP is a major supplier to the U.S. military and the Iraq & Afghanistan wars. Under the Supreme Court's asinine conclusion that corporations are persons, if true, should we try BP for treason against the people of the United States? If guilty, would we sentence BP to prison? This type of politicking happens all of the time on behalf of unsavory elements around the world. And it isn't just BP. We must end corporate personhood and the criminal lobbying efforts that take place outside of the view of We the People. This is not democracy. This is not one person, one vote. This is not self-rule. This is fascist serfdom and it is why we have forty million people on food stamps.

BP has either been misrepresenting our outright lying about the scope of the spill in the Gulf. They have been using unsafe chemical dispersants in the Gulf which are banned in their home country. They are still using them because the Coast Guard is allowing wavers even though there is some evidence something is ending up in our rain as far north as the upper midwest U.S. They have the worst safety record of any oil firm operating in the United States. They had no viable plan to deal with a crisis. They may be criminally liable for countless deaths. And now they are involved in dealing with terrorists? The list is endless but we can stop there. We need corporations but they have gained more power than the people and are creating a fascist society, not just in the U.S. but in many countries. China is more fascist than communist in many regards. Britain is well worse than the United States. And whether we see the stories or not, if we knew all of the bribing, criminal activity, polluting and exploitation of major corporations around the world today, most people would be aghast. Stories of this type come across the ticker constantly but they don't garner mainstream media attention.

Wait till the British politicians who would sell their mothers into prostitution are outed for their involvement in this mess. Who the hell do these politicians think they are? They are stewards we elect to keep our system of self-rule operating while society goes about creating the wealth necessary to provide opportunity and economic freedoms for our society. And to pay these bureaucrat's salaries and lavish health care benefits. We don't yield our rights of sovereignty or democracy or the rule of law to politicians or anyone else. They are protected by a written Constitution. Politicians don't exist to sell out our country for their political expediency or personal profits. Many are nothing more than common hoodlums who believe they are our kings and queens.

I wasn't going to post this but since this story has come up, it's more than appropriate. If this story on Democracy Now is accurate, BP was substantially responsible for radicalizing Iran by playing a part in the overthrow of Iranian democracy. And if true, they did so because the people of Iran were attempting to stop BP's endless exploitation of the sovereignty of Iran. Re Napolitano's book "Lies the Government Tells You: Myth, Power and Deception in American History" and his highlighted remarks yesterday, there weren't too many politicians telling the American people that Iran was radicalized because the CIA was involved in the overthrow of a peaceful democracy and inserted our hand-picked police-state thug as their leader and the people eventually revolted against its tyranny and the U.S. meddling in their country. And that power vacuum let radical religious fanatics take over. And now to deal with it, we need to spend even more on our military because the beast we created is a threat to stability in the region.
