Hell Has Come to South Louisiana

Sunday 11 July 2010

“We were primed for a great season,” Guidry says, “And it all got taken away.”



Unlike most fishermen who’ve had their livelihoods decimated by BP’s oil disaster, Guidry has chosen not to work for BP doing skimming and booming operations with his boat.

...........

Guidry is incensed at what he is seeing.

“There has been a BP cover-up from day one,” he says, as I write furiously in my notepad, trying to keep up, “The US Government, OSHA , the Coast Guard, NIOSH , all of them are in on it.”

On May 24th, in Galliano, Louisiana, Guidry testified to a delegation of US Senators, Congressmen, and Agencies and departments under Obama’s administration. He sent the testimony to the president as well, urgently requesting help.

Here is his testimony, verbatim:

3. This is America's Chernobyl

The fucking parasites are only exasperating the problem. I live thousands of miles away in Canada, and this whole situation scares the living shit out of me. If Americans don't rebel against this crap, the whole world is fucked.

5. Unreal.

This guy worked for KBR and sits on Jindals 'panel'

Yet his testimony uses words like "haste" "cut corners" "save money" "willful neglect"

He probably wasn't so upset when Halliburton was cutting him checks.

I feel for his industry, I really do, but guys like him don't give a shit about the other guy , they only take notice when it happens to them.

7. It's just politics to him

He was better than those lazy democrats, doncha know. I can hear it all over him. This guy wouldn't be saying a word if he couldn't bash a Democrat and prove the government is worthless.

6. K & R nt

10. Easy for you to key.
