BP Files A Monster Of A Lawsuit Against Halliburton

BP HQ

BP (British Petroleum) has filed a monster of a lawsuit against Halliburton, Transocean and Cameron International, over the massive oil spill that occurred off the coast of Louisiana last year. The environmental disaster turned out to be the worst spill in U.S. history.

BP seeks $40.9 billion in damages from the Defendants in the case. Yes, you read that right. Billion, not million. BP contends it is for money they paid out in claims and clean up, due to the regrettable spill.

British Petroleum has sustained a significant amount of damage during the disaster. BP’s shareholders and bottom-line, took a pounding over the spill, which British Petroleum stated was caused by the Defendants, as it was their machinery, methods and men that worked on the rig.

BP In The Clear - Halliburton On The Hot Seat

Lamar McKay (BP), Steven Newman and Tim Project (Halliburton)

A recently released report indicated Halliburton, not BP, was the real culprit behind the unprecedented Gulf of Mexico oil spill, which occurred off the coast of Louisiana. Halliburton knew the cement was faulty and did not hold up in tests, but went ahead with it anyway.

The Judiciary Report insisted this was the case all along regarding culpability, but Halliburton, who has come up in this site’s stats as web visitors, denied responsibility. BP ended up paying out $10 billion dollars in shareholder money to those negatively impacted in the region, while Halliburton skated.

The Judiciary Report insisted from the beginning, Halliburton, should be made to contribute a significant amount of money to the spill recovery fund, but they did not, leaving BP to shoulder all the blame, when it wasn‘t even their equipment or methods that caused the spill (it was Halliburton).

What's Going On With America's Waters

Barack Obama

This summer has not been a good one for America's waters. First, there was the BP oil spill off the coast of Louisiana. Then, there was a oil leak in Michigan's lakes. Now comes word fecal matter has polluted the waters off Martha's Vineyard, where U.S. President Obama currently vacations.

Many are wondering if the President will swim in the feces polluted water, but Obama, being a politician in Washington, should be used to swimming in manure, as they certainly know how to shovel it.

David Cameron Meets With Barack Obama

Newly elected British Prime Minister, David Cameron, met with U.S. President, Barack Obama, at the White House today, in Washington, D.C. They held a joint press conference, answering a number of questions.

The two heads of state, discussed the regrettable release of Lockerbie bomber, Abdelbaset Al Megrahi, who was thought to have three months to live, but is still living in his native, Libya, one year later.

Abdelbaset Al Megrahi (left)

The Judiciary Report opposed his release from day one, labeling it a mistake. Time has proven the site correct once again, as Megrahi, continues to enjoy his freedom in luxury, well beyond the life expectancy doctors initially gave the cancer sufferer last year.

Notice the Judiciary Report's use of the words "reportedly has three months to live" on August 20, 2009 (see below). Last year, he just did not appear that far gone.

On August 20, 2009, the Judiciary Report wrote:

"He is suffering from cancer and reportedly has three months to live. Britain is known for its compassion in such issues and as such, Scotland released him after serving 8 years in prison, to go home to die....

Compassion is a great trait. However, Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi, is a convicted mass murderer, who could have received medical care in prison, while paying his debt to society. Releasing him has rubbed salt in the wounds of his victims' families and friends, who didn't get to tell their loved ones goodbye, a courtesy he has been afforded." (click here)

While the Judiciary Report has the utmost respect and love for victims of cancer, Megrahi, has not paid his debt to society for the mass murder he committed, creating shattered lives for their loved ones left behind.

Cameron's invitation to visit America was to shore up ties between the two nations, as Britain has long been a very loyal ally and friend to the United States.

Since being elected this summer, Cameron has implemented significant cost cutting measures to reduce national debt in Britain, which is commendable. He also pulled off a massive coup seizing over $1 billion dollars in dormant bank accounts to use for the public good.

The White House needs to begin its own cost cutting and desist with the spending sprees on the people's money, as no amount of wishful thinking shall suspend the laws of mathematics.

Obama Slams Republicans While On Vacation

Barack Obama

Never mind the economy is in the toilet, U.S. President Barack Obama is phoning home insults about rival Republicans, labeling them the party for the rich, whilst he vacations in a posh part of the American state, Maine. Clearly, the irony of that was lost on the President. Considering Obama is now rich as well, thanks to book and other deals, that dig didn't resonate as he intended it to do.

Obama has stated, the Republicans are holding back America's progress and he is right. But so are the Democrats. Congress as a whole, through poor oversight, inadequate policies and full-on corruption, brought America to this place.

Obama is killing that ice cream

So yes, the Republicans AND Democrats in Congress are to blame for holding back America's progress, not the American people, who work each weekday to pay their taxes, only for Congress to blow it on things the people do not approve of in the least.

Congress has exhibited no real control over the FBI and SEC, who are supposed to police and prosecute crimes in the financial sector. As a result, greedy financial criminals wreak havoc on the economy via ponzi schemes, bad mortgages, theft and very risky investments.

Obama Cautious Over BP Well Cap

U.S. President Barack Obama has expressed caution over news BP has capped the oil well that has been leaking off the coast of Louisiana, in the Gulf of Mexico. The cap has held for the past two days, but additional tests are being conducted.

BP Caps Leaking Oil Well

BP oil well is capped

BP has announced they've capped the leaking oil well in the Gulf of Mexico, which has polluted the beaches and coast off Louisiana in America. The well has been spewing oil into the ocean for months, in the worst spill in U.S. history.

Barack Obama

This will be welcome news to U.S. President Barack Obama, who has been roundly criticized in America, for not doing enough to address the crisis that spiraled out of control, damaging the environment and economy.

My godbrother goes to an esteemed Florida university and plays on the football team. Recently, a student from a neighboring community college (university) explained what happened when a professor finished speaking and opened a discussion up to debate.

The topic of the debate was the BP oil crisis and a black student, tired of Obama being bashed by the professor, stated of the President, "What do you want the ni**a to do, put on snorkels, go into the sea and plug the bi**h himself!" Oh dear. Do remember that the next time you decide to cut educational funding (grants to community colleges).

Obama Approval Ratings Hit An All Time Low

Barack Obama

U.S. President Barack Obama's approval ratings have hit an all time low of 42%. The deteriorating U.S. economy, coupled with his less than satisfactory handling of the BP oil spill, has damaged his presidency.

Obama's spending initiatives continue to be wasteful and unruly, such as $1.2 billion being spent on plans to get Americans walking and cycling, when a simple series of adverts would have done the trick.

Pelosi did something similar regarding STD awareness, in trying to squander hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer money, which the Judiciary Report denounced.

The government persists in these plans that fritter away the people's tax dollars and at the worst time in world history, during an unprecedented, raging financial crisis.

This idiocy is going to set America back even further in the financial world, as that $1.2 billion could be spent more productively or not at all, as the deficit is going to swell to $13 trillion dollars.

Funding doubled for bicycling, walking projects

WASHINGTON — A government report says federal transportation spending on biking and walking projects more than doubled to $1.2 billion in President Barack Obama's first year in office.

Why Is Obama Shielding Halliburton

Have They Promised Him Something

U.S. President Barack Obama

U.S. President Barack Obama, has been shielding Halliburton from public ridicule and responsibility in the Louisiana oil spill, shifting all the blame to BP, who contracted the former to drill and maintain a now broken well, in conjunction with Transocean, 5,000 feet below sea level.

Halliburton is filthy rich, with billions in cash and assets. The company earns $12 billion annually. The war in Iraq was fought for companies such as Halliburton, to gain a monopoly on Iraq oil.

Not only did they commandeer Iraqi oil, they were given billions in U.S. taxpayer money to rebuild Iraq, a country that should not have been blown up in the first place.

BP CEO, Tony Hayward, in the U.S. Congress

However, due to former Vice President Dick Cheney's greed, as a one-time employee of the company, who maintains lucrative financial ties to Halliburton, this madness took place, in collusion with George W. Bush, as the American people were lied to and duped. Bush admitted in an interview he thought "the oil would pay for the war" which is appalling.

Once again, in a terrible, unprecedented crisis that has damaged America, the name Halliburton has surfaced. People need to ask questions why. America has many great companies, but Halliburton has inflicted more damage on this nation than any in recent memory.

BP was forced into shelling out $20 billion dollars in a trust fund this week, regarding damage in Louisiana, when Halliburton is a major culprit in this environmental crisis, yet has gotten away relatively Scot free, as Obama tries to dismantle a foreign company, much to the offense of Britain, that outsourced work to America, an ally. Halliburton should have been made to pay as well.

Obama Addresses The Nation

U.S. President Barack Obama

A gaunt looking Barack Obama, gave an unconvincing speech from the Oval Office yesterday, regarding the BP oil spill. He seemed unsure of himself and his demeanor was one of defeat, in the face of America's worst oil spill.

Obama and all the players involved are operating under uncertainty, mostly due to the tremendous difficulties they have experienced in capping an oil spill that continues to flow. A fortune in U.S. wealth is pouring out into the sea, polluting the ocean, propelled by the force of the earth, which no one has been able to fully contain thus far.

All the emphasis is being placed on BP and not enough equal blame on Halliburton and Transocean, who drilled and ran this operation on the ground, into the ground. The latter two are not doing enough in the face of what they have done to cause the environmental crisis. Both companies, in addition to BP, are worth billions and can afford to clean up the spill and pay claims to businesses that have been destroyed.

Several weeks ago, the Judiciary Report was surprised at initial estimates, claiming only a few thousand gallons of oil have been spewing into the ocean per day, as the site had estimated up to a trillion dollars in oil could end up in the ocean before this is all over, if the problem is not properly addressed. Scientists released a new estimate today, stating 2,500,000 gallons of oil are spewing into the sea on a daily basis.

Cleaning Oil Soiled Sand

A great company called Clean Beach Technologies, run by Tony Watson (CEO) and Gary Stevenson (President), is utilizing a clever way to address the Louisiana oil spill that occurred in the Gulf Of Mexico.

The company uses trucks, massive containers and biodegradable materials to clean the oil soiled sand, then returning it to the beach after 12 hours. They have labeled the process a "reclamation of the beach."

Obama To Meet With BP

U.S. President Barack Obama

U.S. President Barack Obama is slated to meet with BP for the first time this week, in reference to the oil spill that occurred in the waters off the state of Louisiana in America. The President has been slammed in the press for his handling of the crisis, with many demanding he do more.

The Judiciary Report is of the belief, all involved should be held accountable, as that is the nature of liability law. BP is shouldering all the blame for work they outsourced to Halliburton and Transocean, who have been silent during this environmental disaster, is not just.

Both companies are quite wealthy and should pay their fair share in damages as well, as they oversaw the drilling and implementation of the well that has sprung an unprecedented leak, polluting the ocean.

Obama Slammed In The British Press Over BP

President Barack Obama pointing the finger at BP

U.S. President Barack Obama is being slammed in the British press over his treatment of their company BP (British Petroleum). The unprecedented oil spill that occurred off the coast of the U.S. state of Louisiana, has polluted the Gulf Of Mexico, with spewing oil.

The British press contends, the Obama Administration is being nasty to BP, threatening its executives and trying to block dividends from being paid, when it was primarily the American company, Halliburton, that caused the spill, via the rig they operated on BP's behalf in America.

BP stated they outsourced the work to Halliburton and Transocean, who used their own "procedures" "employees" and "equipment." Thus far, BP has paid $1.5 billion in clean up costs and claims, but feels it is being unfairly targeted over what was Halliburton's fault.

It is the Judiciary Report's position that Halliburton and Transocean should be required to pay for clean up costs and claims as well, as their negligence contributed to the unprecedented environmental disaster.

Side Bar: Even before the time of the oil spill, when the Judiciary Report had not even written a word about them yet, the site would receive visits from Halliburton, as attested by website statistics. What could cause them to visit the site. Hmm, could it be my wit, charm, my refusal to use proper punctuation and correct capitalization. The possibilities are endless.

Obama Blames BP For Everything

U.S. President Barack Obama

With his approval ratings in decline and people labeling the BP oil spill his Hurricane Katrina fiasco, U.S. President Barack Obama is blaming BP for everything.

There is also concerns about anti-British sentiments over the issue. At the end of the day, BP, a British company, contracted an American company, Halliburton, in addition to Transocean, to dig and operate the oil well that ruptured with the rig exploding, resulting in the worst spill in U.S. history.

BP CEO, Tony Hayward

Blaming any nation is counter-productive and not going to solve the problem. It is a regrettable tragedy, but the focus needs to be on getting a tourniquet on the broken well, containing the spill and vacuuming up the oil floating in the sea before it spreads any further.

Obama Curses On TV Over BP - Part 2

U.S. President Barack Obama

The fall out continues over U.S. President Barack Obama cursing on national TV in America, by stating of the BP oil spill crisis, "I don't just sit around talking to experts because this is a college seminar. We talked to these folks, because they potentially had the best answers, so I'd know whose as* to kick."

Many believe he sullied the office of the Presidency of the United States, by using profanity during an interview and it has created a backlash against Obama, as no President has done that in a pre-recorded interview. It was rather inappropriate. Because at the end of the day, you really don't want little kids going around saying, "So I'd know whose as* to kick."

Obama Curses On TV Over BP

U.S. President Barack Obama

U.S. President Barack Obama, who was clearly offended this morning, cursed on the NBC "Today Show" regarding people slamming his response to the BP oil spill, as inadequate and worst than the government's poor reaction to 2005's Hurricane Katrina, in the same region.

The President bitterly complained he was in Louisiana in the rain a month ago, speaking with fishermen about the potential the spill possessed of being a terrible crisis.

Barack Obama: don't make me get ghetto!

As he grew more angry Obama stated, "I don't just sit around talking to experts because this is a college seminar. We talked to these folks, because they potentially had the best answers, so I'd know whose as* to kick."

Obama also slammed BP's CEO for stating "I want my life back." The President stated, "(Tony) Hayward wouldn't be working for me after making such a comment."

Britney Spears Still Can't Get It Together

Another bad Britney weave

Millions of dollars are being spent on Britney Spears' upkeep, yet she still remains the least groomed person in Hollywood, continuing to trot around in stained, ill-fitting clothes, topped off with terrible, atrocious weaves.

Women all over the nation go to reasonably priced salons, paying a basic $50 to get their hair done, come out looking great and a million times better than Spears, who has a higher styling budget.

Britney continues to wander around looking like the poster child for bad weaving and weird hair coloring. The hair on the birds being sprayed with BP oil in her native Louisiana, look better than Britney's tresses.

Obama Does Not Have A Handle On BP Crisis

U.S. President Barack Obama

According to reports today, the BP oil spill could go on for years. Current efforts to cap the problem, is only capturing 10% of the gushing oil. The Obama administration still has not accepted the majority of the international help being offered to address the oil spill.

It is in the world's best interest that the leak be capped, as an adequate tourniquet is necessary to minimize damage to the environment. We all share the same sea at one point or another and tides will shift the damage.

Side Bar: Where's Jed Clampett when you need him!

Oil Spill To Continue Until Christmas

Merry Christmas from BP, Transocean and Halliburton! Reports indicate the oil spill off the coast of Louisiana in America, may run until Christmas. Yes, that's right, Christmas.

The environmental and economical fall out from this leak seems to grow worse by the day. Not enough is being done to address the damage and it is distressing to many. Everything that can be done is not being done.

All that beautiful ocean and wildlife being destroyed is sad. BP and co are essentially fighting against the force of the earth, buried deep below the surface. More studies should have been done, before such a risky endeavor was undertaken, at such depths of the sea.
