At BP's annual meeting in London today, Gulf Coast human rights defenders were barred while executive pay and a stalled major deal in Russia prompted a clash with police. These did not stop an attempt to serve BP's Chairman with the Black Planet Award for "destroying the Earth for profit" as witnessed by ex-oil executive Ian Crane who reports on the meeting from London.
"One woman from Texas was arrested and four others were ejected from the session – just before Dudley rose to the podium and told shareholders that 'BP remains a great company with a great history and I believe a great future,'" reports AP via the Fuel Fix.
The meeting is days before the one-year anniversary of the Macondo-BP Gulf oil explosion that immediately killed 11 workers and continues quietly killing hundreds of thousands of others, lives valued at $40 billion in BP costs.
Former oil executive whistleblower Ian Crane reports from London
Thursday morning, former top oil executive now whistleblower Ian Crane reported on Facebook from London that he had just sat through what he called "the outrageously self-serving Annual General Meeting of BP."
Crane, who has no problem referring to the BP oil executives as "snakes in suits," stated, "needless to say, the representatives of Gulf Coast fisherman were prevented from entering the meeting."
Crane's oilfield industry background has enabled him to apply forensic analysis to events leading to the Deepwater Horizon destruction in the Gulf, a false flag operation according to him. He presents this analysis in his "BP Population Reduction and the End of an Age" in which he highlights the Gulf smoking gun, Bob Kaluza, thus far scot-free from the Gulf crime against humanity.
"Kaluza has so far failed to offer testimony at any of the hearings convened to establish what occurred in the period leading up to the explosion. Kaluza elected instead to plead the Fifth Amendment – in other words, any evidence he may offer would be self-incriminating." (Ian R. Crane)
Crane reports that at the annual meeting in London, "There was absolutely no discussion on the Health implications on Gulf Coast residents as result of th DWH blowout." (See: "Censored Gulf eyewitness testimonies of coughing up blood and other horror stories" and "Sick Gulf Captain Louis Bayhi Testimonial video")
Instead of addressing ongoing human rights violations in the Gulf that many call a crime against humanity, most people at the meeting "were only interested in establishing why BP Executives had received £100,000+ bonuses, when Share Dividends had been suspended," said Crane.
There was at least one exception: "A German Eco-group who also own BP Shares attempted to present BP Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg with their 'BLACK PLANET AWARD' in recognition of BP's commitment to 'Destroying the Earth for Profit'!" stated Crane.
Fourth-generation shrimper-turned-environmental hero Diane Wilson, whose new book, Diary of an Eco-Outlaw: An Unreasonable Woman Breaks the Law for Mother Earth, is in London along with other Gulf Coast activists to deliver the International “Black Planet Award” to Hayward.
Wilson was arrested last summer during a Senate hearing about BP’s oil disaster for pouring fake oil on herself and demanding that Hayward be brought to justice. ("Louisiana shrimper arrested protesting oil killing," and "Gulf operatives' violence against women (video))
Following her oil dousing demonstration, Wilson had said, "Just imagine this: BP can get away with pouring millions of gallons of oil in our seas and I get arrested for dumping a half-gallon of oil on myself in protest!
In a press release about her planned direct action against BP at its annual meeting in London, Wilson stated, according to ChelseaGreen, that she was going "to call BP to account for its actions in the Gulf – for the oil spill, the lies, the cover-ups, the skimping on safety, the deaths, the non-existent documents, the ‘swinging door’ with regulators."
"The massive nature of the oil catastrophe means it can’t be covered up, even by BP. It’s everywhere, from 5,000 feet down to miles upon miles across and then spread in the ocean’s currents."
