Greenpeace: Making BP Disappear
July 29, 2010The headline of the New York Times today says "On the surface, Gulf oil spill is vanishing fast," but as we all know, that's just the surface. Wouldn't it be nice if the spill really was disappearing--and with it the company that caused it? Greenpeace activists in England are doing just that--or at least, doing their best. Check it out.Sarahi Uribe, Felons & Jobs, and War Funding
July 28, 2010In recent months, many have blamed, boycotted, and blasphemed Arizona for SB 1070. However, it is not all state law that is to blame. A few years ago, the United States Justice Department passed 287 G, a statute that puts immigration control in the hands of local police. Would SB 1070 be possible without these deeper, more established roots?Mike Papantonio: BP Spill as Organized Crime
June 23, 2010"I know what a thug corporation looks like," says lawyer and radio host Mike Papantonio, who is busy building a RICO case against BP for the oil devastation in the Gulf. "These people are sociopaths and the GOP are apologizing for them."Mike Papantonio, Funding Afghan Warlords, & What $1 Million Buys

June 17, 2010The BP oil disaster has wreaked havoc on the Gulf of Mexico, but it's also having repercussions across the Atlantic. BP is one of Britain's largest companies, and pension funds invested in BP stock are taking a hit. Ed Pilkington has been covering the story here in the U.S. for the U.K.'s Guardian and has visited the Gulf to look at the spill.Ed Pilkington, Your Environmental Road Trip & the World Cup

June 16, 2010"Oil is a messy business, even when it's legal," says filmmaker Joe Berlinger, and we've all seen the effects of that business splashed across front pages and television sets over the last month. But the BP disaster isn't the only mess that Big Oil has caused in the last couple of months, to say nothing of the years and decades past. The newest oil mess to be cleaned up is a Chevron spill in Utah that has flooded a Salt Lake City creek with thousands of gallons from a pipeline with what was described as a "quarter-sized hole" in it.Cary Harrison, Big Oil's Destruction, and Palin Meets Thatcher
June 16, 2010Our politics are all about emotion over intellect, says radio host Cary Harrison. From billionaires winning Republican primaries by pretending to be fighting for the common man to Chevron distributing fans at gay pride events, it certainly seems like something is missing. Common sense? Or is it just the money is stacked to one side? And on a completely different note, just what happened with Gen. Petraeus at that Senate Armed Services Committee hearing?Cary Harrison: Politics, PR and Petraeus

Green for All is initiating a Dirty Energy Hurts campaign to fight back against BP's PR millions, reminding us that drill, baby, drill is not an energy policy.
