Countdown: Marine Biologist Riki Ott Reporting About Efforts to Suppress Info
Edited on Mon Jun-14-10 07:46 PM by polichick
She says that animal carcasses are being scooped off the beach (resumably by BP) before they can be photographed, people aren't allowed to bring cameras or cell phones onto beaches, and emails discussing carcasses disappear.

Her website is www.rikiott.com

1. If this is true..
...even partly, well, this takes it to a new level.
Why is BP allowed to stay in charge?

3. They never should have been in charge of this part of things...
She also said that heads are being separated from bodies so autopsies can't be done.

2. I was looking for posts about this. I missed the beginning of the
segment. I will be catching it in the rebroadcast.

Didn't she say that pictures (of carcasses, etc.) were disappearing from servers? Is that what I heard? That is serious shit, if true. Who, at what level is going through all the data online looking for BP oil spill photos? Maybe it's that same room at AT&T where everything was being copied by Bush/Cheney for their security surveillance purposes.



* * * Everyone should watch this segment * * *



Hopefully the video will be up soon.
Thanks

4. I think she said emails with the word "carcass" - I assume pictures too...
Just like helicopters spraying dispersants at night over the bayou - this is really scary.

6. I don't know if deleting them off the servers would even help.
They could just upload it again or upload it somewhere else.
Maybe they're filing DMCA claims. "We created those oily birds and they're OUR intellectual property!"
That might actually work.

8. That's what I thought she said. My question was who's server's?
If it's off some other servers, say on the internet or in her own offices then I'm not so sure about that. Machines can be compromised, but if she's saying it's more than one server is being broken into, searched for images and having those images removed, then I'm not believing it.

7. What is it going to take for the Govt to stop this?
Edited on Tue Jun-15-10 09:49 AM by dgibby
Oh, wait...., I forgot, the Govt says they're in charge, so I can only surmise that this practice is being condoned. Scary!

This is the MOTHER of all coverups!

9. I don't understand her point about heads being removed from carcases.
She says they're doing that so no autopsies can be performed. I'm not sure I understand why that would be the case.

10. Because autopsies are done to determine cause of death, but once...
...the body is mutilated cause of death can't be determined definitively.

BP will pay according to how many deaths can be connected to oil and dispersants.
