Microbes That Eat Oil

Well we all have to ask, what is really going on here. This deep horizon oil spill is the greatest MAN-MADE Disaster since the invention of Atomic Energy. We cannot forget Hiroshima, and Nagasaki, let alone the disaster at Chernobyl. Many years ago a great scientist by the name of Ananda Chakrabarty found what he deemed a "superbug" which has the ability to eat up oil with no problem. Dr. Chakrabarty realized that by combining three specific pseudomonas bacteria, he could create a microbe that literally eats up oil. This microbe eats up oil at an amazing rate, indeed. As it can digest about two-thirds of the hydrocarbons which are ultimately involved in an oil spill. So why are they not used right now by BP in the gulf? Easy, because their greed is so uncanny that they are willing to sacrifice life in order to preserve their profits. You will find throughout this page that BP has done many things in order to save profit, even at the expense of life.

BP loves to use the floating booms in order to contain the oil, so they can later collect the oil, and then refine and sell it for profit. The oil spilling out is apparently still theirs, even though it is in American waters, and polluting the entire gulf to such an extent that as I write this millions of life forms are suffocating and drowning in their own vomit. Do not fear however, because BP is going to sell the world this oil. So let them continue drilling in the Gulf, around the globe even, because now we know that they have the ability to still turn profits, even off great man made disasters.

Oil Disaster. BP Oil Spill

I was going to aim at explaining about these microbes that eat oil, even the Canadian algae that does the same. However I think it is really a fruitless effort. So instead I am going to focus on the fact, that BP right now as all big oil, are the most greedy inhumane corporations on the planet. Most people do not realize that BP had the ability to stop oil spills such as the Deep Horizon oil spill in the Gulf, which occurred on April, 20th, 2010. Yes they have the technology to stop these events. Do you want to know what the problem with this technology is? Well it is the fact that it is too good, the valves that shut down the well with the newer technology makes a situation where they can no longer access the well. Therefore they lose profit. So it is actually more profitable for them to collect it off the ocean surface, than to lose that well. Humanity is in big trouble, this greed is going to lead to more potent events than even this. You know the other day I heard a theory, at first I thought it was very far fetched. I was watching a show, and it went on to explain how the government and these big corporations knew the world was ending. So they would not bother doing to much as it would be a fruitless effort. I do not necessarily believe this. However I look at these things going on right now. I think I would rather believe they just have knowledge that nothing really matters. Than the other scenario, that they are so damn greedy they are willing to sacrifice the entire planet to make their share holders happy. This man made disaster has already affected 4 states that I know of, most likely even more in the upcoming days. They simply are so greedy it is really hard to imagine right now. This greed is going to be the end of us, this I am sure.

Back to the Microbes, why would they not use them? Well I think I already explained the reason. The microbes do not preserve the oil, they destroy it. So there is no way to collect the oil and sell it. It is as simple as that. The Microbiologist whom created these microbes has also created microbes that eat cancer cells. They are formidable against breast cancer. However we do not hear about them being used. Why the pharmaceutical companies are just as greedy. They want to sell their pills. We all know this, however it just does not stop. Many avid environmentalist believed that such a disaster as what is going on in the Gulf right now would wake up the world. The sad reality is, it has not. Every one is under playing the entire situation. No one is mad at them, people are more mad at our president, than of the CEO's of BP. We do not hear the crazy ranting towards BP, that we hear against our current administration. It is their responsibility to stop this disaster, however they have failed us. The government has failed yet again. As it has continued to fail us over the years.

 Most people blame the government, however doing this is over looking the problem entirely. The government as our founding fathers created it is not gone. However it does appear that way. The problem is big business owns it, politicians cannot take as step without fearing to upset the big corporations that own us all. This has happened because they infiltrated our government, brain washed the people, and we let them. The government is too big, everyone says. Well it was not to big when we allowed total deregulation of every threat known to America. It was not to big then, not to big when we allowed a few dozen corporations to expand and become more powerful than the government itself. Which undermined our entire system and way of life. Our founding fathers would be turning in their graves right now. This is not necessarily the governments fault, it is the people who voted in the Representatives who allowed these big corporations to become more powerful than the U.S government. What can our government tell BP. Absolutely nothing for these big corporations write their own laws. Our government is too big. This is a joke, and people whom buy it are the fools. Yes it is too big, as the government really cares about me when it comes to wearing my seat belt, or my baby momma getting an abortion. However if you make over 10 million a year, you can write your own rules. One day a leader will come to power with the guts to retake our government, and not for the damn corporations, which the GOP is attempting to do right now. For the people so we can return to a time, where if some corporation is making a fool of America we send them packing. I am done, good luck an GOD bless.
