"An oppressive system often seems stable because it limits people’s lives and imaginations so much..."

Tue, 04 Jun 2013 04:48:35 -0400

“An oppressive system often seems stable because it limits people’s lives and imaginations so much that they can’t see beyond the limitations. This is especially true when a social system has existed for so long that its past extends beyond collective memory of anything different. As a result, it lays down terms of social life - including various forms of privilege - that can easily be mistaken for some kind of normal and inevitable human condition.

But this situation masks a fundamental long-term instability caused by the dynamics of oppression itself. Any system organized around one group’s efforts to control and exploit another is ultimately a losing proposition, because it contradicts the essentially uncontrollable nature of reality and does violence to basic human needs and values.”

“Our treatment of the ocean is getting increasingly surreal. There are plastic gyres at the center of every ocean on the planet, slowly whirling above the corpses of animals forced to inhale plastic particles; driftnets and bottom-trawlers are emptying the sea of fish with no thought as to what our children will have to trawl for; the outrageous amount of CO2 pumped into the atmosphere by the slowly trudging, heavily stomping beast of industrial progress is turning our oceans to acid; and now the second largest animal on the planet is being hunted and killed to feed upper-class dogs in sweaters. - Rabb!t”

Bloodthirsty 'factual' Discovery, NatGeo, History Channel, Animal Planet TV shows demonise wildlife:

climateadaptation:

Journalist Adam Welz blows the lid off of how major US TV networks are depicting killing animals for profit. Wolves, grizzly bears, lynx cats, and other animals are being trapped, shot with AK-47s, and painted as dangerous threats on national networks NatGeo, Discovery, and other “reality TV” shows.

Three years after Gulf spill, BP fights huge fines

Three years after a deadly explosion on a BP-leased drilling rig unleashed the worst environmental disaster in US history, the British energy giant is fighting to avoid billions in fines.

BP’s lawyers are trying to convince a federal judge that the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill was not a result of gross negligence and to shift some blame—and cost—to its subcontractors at a blockbuster trial in New Orleans.

But after weeks of damning testimony describing how BP and its subcontractors ignored multiple warning signs prior to the April 20 explosion aboard the Deepwater Horizon, experts say the case against BP is strong.

“There’s been an awful lot of evidence indicating they (BP) ignored normal procedures and were in effective control of the oil rig platform even though it was owned by Transocean,” said Ed Sherman, a Tulane Law professor who has closely monitored the case.

A finding of gross negligence increases the maximum potential fines under the Clean Water Act to $17 billion from $4.5 billion and leaves BP open to punitive damages in other claims.

No matter how much money Judge Carl Barbier fines BP, it will NEVER be enough to make up for the devastation caused by the BP DWH disaster!!

Excerpt from my blog

-Today is actually the 10th and the intensity of the upcoming few weeks is burning inside. I’ve been living in my tent since Saturday night (four nights so far) and I’m not going to lie, it gets cold out here! Currently, I have at least seven comforters, a raft that I blew up, and my sleeping bag. -
