Scary Factoid(s) of the Week!
Okay, for all you non-conspiracy buffs (LOL), here is somethis to chew on:
In early April 2010, a company named Boots & Coots was sold. B&C is an expert re oil rigs and oil spill clean-ups. (http://www.boots-coots.com/) The company that bought B&C? None other than Halliburton, one of the three companies in charge of the Deepwater Horizon rig. (http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE63907A20100410) Almost exactly three weeks later, on April 24th, the rig exploded, creating the largest oil spill in history. Need I tell you that B&C is one of the lead companies helping to contain the spill?
That, of course, would be enough to raise some serious suspicions. But it gets even uglier.
You know who one of the largest investors in BP is? Goldman Sachs, and particularly Lloyd Blankfein. And you know what Mr. Blankfein (and others) did at the time that B&C was bought by Halliburton – i.e., three weeks prior to the explosion? He sold off almost all of his BP stock – before it dropped precipitously.
Oh, and the outgoing chairman of BP, Peter Sutherland? He happens to be “Non-Executive” Chairman of Goldman Sachs.
Oh yes, Sutherland is also personal financial adviser to…the Pope.
I kid you not.
