As The Oil Volcano Has Contaminated The Gulf, BAR Occupied Government Has Contaminated Society-A Harsha Sankar Letter

Dear Citizen, August 2010

As the Deepwater Horizon disaster has contaminated the Gulf, BAR Occupied Government has contaminated government and society.

A few weeks after the April 20^th Oil disaster, attorneys across the nation have filed nearly 300 lawsuits against so many parties for damages. Cases have even been filed on behalf of the oil coated fish and birds.

While birds and fish cannot directly benefit for dollar damages, American people know who will and can. Will those aboard the rig and will those whose livelihoods are threatened by the slick receive immediate compensation for all economic losses?

The Exxon Valdez matter took 20 years to resolve. People received five to ten percent of they lost. Is there any idea on who received the lion share of settlement? 37 of the 64 federal judges in districts where most lawsuits are pending have ties to energy related industries. It is apparent that there will be much “home cooking” during the proceedings.

What is the role of law firms that do the lobbying in this environmental debacle?

Since January 2008, British Petroleum lobbyists have spent $30 million to manipulate legislation. BP, in the first quarter of 2010, hired at least 27 lobbyists who worked in congress or the executive branch. The revolving door of public service to private enrichment is spinning so fast, BP pockets these parasites like “nickels and dimes”. It is reported that good government officials are hard pressed to name a comparable organization with as much clout as BP.

BP has in-house lobbyists and recently hired seven prominent law firms to lobby its legislative interests. BP just spent nearly four million dollars this quarter alone.

One lobbying firm, the Podesta group, will use its unmatched, undemocratic, and corrupt power to prevent any BP official from serving jail time.

The oil company’s cadre of hired guns will have a captive audience with their former colleagues. Just take a look at the corrupt conflicts of interest that surround Mineral Management Service (MMS), which supposedly oversees offshore drilling.

MMS receives billions of dollars a year in royalties from the industries it is supposed to regulate. Employees of MMS and Big Oil constantly switch sides.

A new report questions whether MMS inspectors failed to enforce safety and other standards on the drillings. MMS rig inspectors had even allowed industry representatives to write reports in pencil, with inspectors writing them over in ink.

Why did not MMS require that Big Oil install secondary blowout presenters on oil rigs, as other countries have? The fact that oil rig inspectors receive gifts from oil companies is one reason. Also the fact that President Obama was the top recipient of BP campaign contributions over the past 20 years is another.

It is obvious that the system created by the treasonous and non-democratic elements of government has caught grassroots America in a political and economic vise.

Nothing is black and white anymore. All are shades of gray. This overlapping and co-mingling of functions of the governmental and legal systems has lead to social upheaval.

Masses of economically deprived, socially dislocated, and politically disenfranchised people are not good for the nation.

The only starting-point remedy to stop all these predators from continuing to run the system for their own parochial benefit is to ban attorneys from office, to stop the judiciary from being controlled by a private elitist and internationally affiliated group, and to limit the legal profession to its proper role. There will be the peace between citizens and their government.

Same hands governance only breeds patronage, heavy handedness, selective enforcement,
and lack of discipline.Certainly compensation and re-education opportunities can be
offered to those who step aside and vacate from their office and from their capacity as attorneys.

After all, Americans are not communists.

Very Truly Yours,
