GULF COAST OIL SPILL: Wildlife, fishing could be destroyed, and the blame game is underway.

The wildlife and seafood supply in the Gulf Coast is in danger of being totally destroyed because of this massive oil spill taking place off Louisiana, Florida. Alabama, Texas and Mississippi coastlines.

This is what is in danger of being wiped out:

The Brown Pelican, the Reddish Egret, Mottled Duck, Royal Tern, Snowy Plover, Sperm Whale, Shrimp, Lobster, Blue fin tuna and sea turtle could be left to die over the next few weeks. This spill could head up the Mississippi River inland more than 500 miles, and could be the worst in our country's history.

It could take 3 months just to stop this spill, and years to clean it up.

Federal and state officials are blaming British Petroleum what they said was an "inadequate response" to this oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

But should the US Government be blamed for having their "pants down?"

Floating crude oil is now imperiling the fragile marshes of the Gulf coast and it is beginning to hit the white sandy beaches.

At an afternoon press conference with other officials in Louisiana, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said he told BP officials and engineers “to work harder and faster and smarter to get the job done.”

Are you kidding me? That's his response? The blame game has begun.

This disaster is about greed and oil profits. This "Drill Baby Drill" attitude needs to change. Our world is in danger. 11 people died because of this spill. The well the rig was drilling, 5,000 feet below the surface, is now leaking oil at a rate of about 5,000 barrels a day, and it will get worse before it gets better.

The rig was owned and operated by Transocean under lease to BP. Under federal law, BP must pay the cost of containing and cleaning up the oil. America, it is time to wake up, and smell the oil.

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
