anticapitalist: Nigeria on alert as Shell announces worst oil spill in a decade Nigerian coastal and fishing communities were on Thursday put on alert after Shell admitted to an oil spill that is likely to be the worst in the area for a decade, according to government officials.. The company said up to 40,000 barrels of crude oil was spilled on Wednesday while it was transferred from a floating oil platform to a tanker 75 miles off the coast of the Niger delta. All production from the Bonga field, which produces around 200,000 barrels a day, was last night suspended. “Early indications show that less than 40,000 barrels of oil have leaked in total. Spill response procedures have been initiated and emergency control and spill risk procedures are up and running,” said Tony Okonedo, a Shell Nigeriaspokesman. Satellite pictures obtained by independent monitors Skytruth suggested that the spill was 70km-long and was spread over 923 square kilometers (356 sq miles).

On the subject of universal healthcare

audricvsfood:

All the best health cares in the world are universal. If you are against universal healthcare then you are either misinformed or you don’t care about your fellow human beings. Simple as that.

If health care stays privatized in a country, the people who need medical insurance…

Taxation is theft and for what it goes to, a poor quality of product x is received.

Iowa caucus

They, the media, are only down-playing the Iowa caucus this year because it is extremely likely Paul will win. (http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2011/12/paul-leads-in-iowa.html)

Now this may seem very conspiracy-theorist but the media has worked so hard to blackout the Ron Paul campaign. He is being honest and they don’t like it. 

Conspiracy theories are only crazy if you listen to and trust the media/government!

Ron Paul 2012!
