(NaturalNews) What's clear about the BP oil catastrophe in the Gulf
of Mexico is that the independent journalists are doing a better
job of asking the really tough questions than the mainstream media.
Sure, CNN, Fox and others are bringing some attention to the
matter, and they've done some solid reporting on it, but they
haven't yet found a way to ask the deeper questions like why the
U.S. government seems to be colluding with BP to cover up the truth
about the spill. Just the other day, I found an article entitled,
"16 Burning Questions About The Gulf Of Mexico Oil Spill" on the
TheEconomicCollapseBlog.com site
(http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/16-burning-questions-about-the-gulf-of-mexico-oil-spill-that-we-deserve-some-answers-to).
It was a really insightful collection...

BP's oil gusher in the Gulf: Spin terminology explained (satire)
(NaturalNews Satire) What exactly is a "junk shot?" How about "top
kill" or an "undersea plume?" The oil disaster in the Gulf of
Mexico is introducing the world to all sorts of fascinating words
and phrases from the world of Big Oil. Some of them can be a bit
confusing, so as a public service to NaturalNews readers, I've
published a short dictionary that provides the real meaning behind
many of these new terms."Top Kill" - A technique used to kill

First Amendment suspended in the Gulf of Mexico as spill cover-up goes Orwellian
(NaturalNews) As CNN is now reporting, the U.S. government has
issued a new rule that would make it a felony crime for any
journalist, reporter, blogger or photographer to approach any oil
cleanup operation, equipment or vessel in the Gulf of Mexico.
Anyone caught is subject to arrest, a $40,000 fine and prosecution
for a federal felony crime. CNN reporter Anderson Cooper says, "A
new law passed today, and back by the force of law and the threat
of fines and felony charges, ... will prevent reporters and
photographers from getting anywhere close to booms and oil-soaked
wildlife just about any place we need to be. By now you're probably
familiar with cleanup crews stiff-arming the media, private
security blocking cameras, ordinary workers clamming up, some not
even saying who they're...
BP top kill method fails as cleanup workers are hospitalized from vapors
(NaturalNews) BP officials have announced today that the "top kill"
effort to stop the Gulf oil leak has failed. Unanticipated problems
doomed the project, which involved trying to pump tens of thousands
of gallons of mud, shredded rubber tires and other "junk" into the
hole to try to halt the outflow of oil.At 6pm Saturday evening, BP
officials announced the "top kill" effort had failed and now they
were moving on to another plan (more below).I am on site at the
Gulf Coast right now, and while I haven't reached the areas where
oil is washing up on the beaches, I'm learning some interesting
information nonetheless. In particular, finding a hotel room
anywhere near New Orleans has become virtually impossible, as BP
has rented out virtually every available hotel room from St.
Charles, Louisi...
Massive underwater oil cloud may destroy life in Gulf of Mexico
(NaturalNews) Over a week ago, I published an article here on
NaturalNews questioning the media spin on the massive oil spill in
the Gulf. That story, entitled Is Gulf oil rig disaster far worse
than we\'re being told?
(http://www.naturalnews.com/028749_Gulf_of_Mexico_oil_spill.html),
stated the following:\"It\'s hard to say exactly what\'s going on
in the Gulf right now, especially because there are so many
conflicting reports and unanswered questions. But one thing\'s for
sure: if the situation is actually much worse than we\'re being led
to believe, there could be worldwide catastrophic consequences. If
it\'s true that millions upon millions of gallons of crude oil are
flooding the Gulf with no end in sight, the massive oil slicks
being created could make their way into the Gulf Stream ...
Toxic Corexit dispersant chemicals remained secret as feds colluded with Big Business
(NaturalNews) After weeks of silence on the issue, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finally decided to go public
with the list of ingredients used to manufacture Corexit, the
chemical dispersant used by BP in the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster.
There are two things about this announcement that deserve our
attention: First, the ingredients that have been disclosed are
extremely toxic, and second, why did the EPA protect the oil
industry's "trade secrets" for so long by refusing to disclose
these ingredients until now?As reported in the New York Times,
Brian Turnbaugh, a policy analyst at OMB Watch said, "EPA had the
authority to act all along; its decision to now disclose the
ingredients demonstrates this. Yet it took a public outcry and
weeks of complaints for the agency to act ...
