NPR's Richard Harris has learned that much more oil, 70,000 barrels a day or more than ten times the official estimate, is gushing into the Gulf of Mexico from the Deepwater Horizon pipe, based on scientific analysis of the video released Wednesday.

Scientists also criticize BP for refusing to use well-known scientific techniques that would give a more precise figure. BP claims that the the huge black plume of oil gushing at great speed and force (in video released after much WH / media pressure) CANNOT be measured. Bullpucky! The leak is easily 4-5X larger than 5,000 barrels/day originally estimated.

Glenn Beck and FOX News wreak destruction, suffering, and misery on this country--and their audience, having little ability or willingness to think for themselves, find sustenance and solace in that prepackaged propaganda (agit-prop). "Thank G-d for Glenn Beck," they gush. They've been saved.

Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Blackwater...their fraud has been rewarded with continuing contracts in the billions, despite fraudulent billing, armed forces endangerment, defective parts in military equipment, overcharges, double-billing, murder, etc.
