As increasing numbers of U.S. Gulf Coast residents attribute ongoing sicknesses to BP’s oil and military-corporate toxic dispersants as used in wars, it is reported that Sierra Club's upcoming conference designed to exclude human health impacts, locals will defend human rights by presenting public health emergency information - despite being excluded from the agenda. In effect, the people are standing up to the Department of Defense in that Sierra Club is reportedly owned by Lockheed Martin.
The nation is prohibited Gulf truth about American suffering, death and dying. The phrases, "Desperate times call for desperate measures," and "All's fair in love and war" are now viewed apropos by people in the trenches, working front lines at Gulf Ground Zero according to Dupre's sources.
Dupre has been advised that locals will be in attendance of the Sierra Club event to defend human rights, including the right to health care, a right systematically violated throughout the Gulf Operation.
They will express health and environmental effects that are not some matter of mere 'concern', but are based on substantive facts that have been and are ongoingly documented by professional experts.
Before attending the meeting, to ensure voice of the reader is documented instead of dismissed from the record, Gulf Coast activists recommend reading Upcoming Corporate Gulf Town Hall Meeting 'Do's and Don't's'.
Just 5 minutes for humans - public health emergency
Florida locals begged Sierra Club to give just five minutes of their forum agenda to a health professional who could provide scientific data. (See: Gulf humanitarians beg silent Sierra Club)
Last Wednesday, noted health professional, Patricia Springstein, LN offered to present scientific data on the Gulf operation's impact on humans and their needs at the event Sierra Club designed to address wildlife and fish only. (See: Censored Gulf news: Environmentalists exclude 'spill' human impact (video))
“Five to ten minutes – that’s all I’m asking Phil Compton, Field Organizer, Florida Regional Office for just five to ten minutes.”
Springsteid stated:
“We want them to address questions like how come it is that people eating shell fish suddenly have elevated levels of toxic chemicals in their blood. We have photos to show of exactly what people suffering with these health issues look like – and how more people are going to look if we don’t get moving and start telling the truth. If we (the people of this state) don’t get down there and speak, then all there are going to be are these corporations spinning their tales.”
One of the most up-to-date websites on the Gulf Operation is Florida Oil Spill . Today, it has posted an announcement about Sierra Club's event:
Locals who view the conference planning a sin of omission will be at the event, advocating for humans.
Internal bleeding is beig reported by increasing numbers of people asking for help. Bleeding from ears, nose, rectum plus under skin seen as bruising is becoming more common.
EPA adviser Hugh Kaughman has stated that is what Corexit is suppose to do. It is working.
Major gatherings need to be addressing this crime against humanity and the planet according to Gulf Coast locals who have grown weary of being ignored and neglected.
“Now I have a bruising rash all around my stomach,” said Denise Rednour of Long Beach, Mississippi told IPS. “This looks like bleeding under the skin.” Read more.
In reporting on the Sierra Club's upcoming forum, David Curtis writes in his article, Spilled Oil Causes Long-term Effects: Sierra on the Take of the Dirtiest Corporation:
Special: 6 part video of Dr. Riki Ott (right) plus information on the meeting coming up Tuesday, Nov. 16th, 2010 in St. Petersburg Fl on the BP Oil Spill – we want answers. No signup is necessary, it’s open to the public. We need people to show up and ask tough questions – the Dr. Ott videos will tell you exactly what kind of questions you should be thinking about!
The Curtis article highlights a little known fact that Sierra Club and others are "owned by Lockheed Martin."
"BP is using the same law firm and the same tactics as Exxon – one of which was to hire under blanket contract as many PhDs as possible at a huge salary to provide false arguments for the media."
Cover-up of the crime may even include disappearing researchers who refuse to compromise the integrity of their work, such as speculated of the Swan Doctor. (See: Disappeared Gulf 'Swan Doctor')
Sierra Club has issued the following notice:
No politics, no cover-up, no speculation, just facts.
Plan to join the USF College of Marine Sciences, Sierra Club, Gulf Restoration Network and other environmental organizations for an evening forum with some of America’s top marine scientists who’ve been out in the Gulf investigating the impact of this year’s Gulf Oil disaster.What impacts have been identified, what long-term effects are yet to be studied? Learn what we know (and don’t know) at this point, 7 months after the Deepwater Horizon rupture began.
Tuesday, November 16th- 6:00 pm Karen A. Steidinger Auditorium
Fish and Wildlife Research Institute, 100 Eighth Ave. SE St. Petersburg, Florida (on Tampa Bay in downtown St. Pete, adjacent to USF St. Pete).
Florida Oil Spill advises after the Sierra Club notice text:
"Locals will be presenting health crisis information.”

Ease up on the Sierra Club!! I give them tons of credit. The Gulf marine, plant, and animal life clearly have been taking the murderous brunt of this disaster and they don't have a choice or an SUV to drive away from it either!!!
Plants and animals have not taken th brunt of this murderous operation. 20-40 million people have been poisoned according to doctors. The deliberately sprayed Corexit was banned in other countries due to its human injury of body and mind - in unprecedented amounts Most of these millions of people are not suffering yet, thousands are - all being neglected aside from what a few medical people of integrity are doing. This is a crime against humanity and planet. Listen to Dr. Soto on RenseRadio for a reality check. He is actually testing, diagnosing and treating many of these people, as all doctors pledged to do when they took an oath to do no harm. Covering this up and not taking direct action to halt it is complicity - as Germans did for German Nazis.
In no way do I disagree that people are being poisoned and that is tragic. You are absolutely correct. However, it is obvious that millions of animals already have DIED painful deaths!!....They are not able to speak up or hop in their low mpg pick-up truck or plane. Many of these species are on the verge of EXTINCTION...that means forever! Not so for selfish people. Humans can make a move, take precautions, and many living there fully invited this risk, but most creatures have no choice---it is life or death for them NOW!!
All I'm saying is, don't knock the environmental groups--this was a man-made disaster. Maybe it will finally allow people to understand that if a little shrimp, threatened pelican, or endangered sperm whale can't make it there, then they can't either, eventually. Maybe now people in Gulf states will re-think their pro-Big Oil/corrupt corporate deregulation/anti-environment voting records over recent years/decades?? Maybe? You can only hope. Many people are in denial.
Ms. D-Thank you for trying to inform and protect citizens! It is a crisis for ALL Life...
I was silenced by Phil Compton and the Sierra Club, I had photos and blood work and Anitia had the thumbprint from Sarasota Beach that traced the oil right back to the Macondo Rig. The Sierra Clup is owned by big Corporations and if you really want the truth, You can see that Clorox and Munitions experts own them.
1.3 million members and they can't donate a dollar to the Barefoot doctors.
That quote "Open Discussion" was a way to control us. I did make quite a scene when they lied and said the seafood was fine, waters fine on my way out of BS. I then I really got it when they put the 12,000,000 loss of revenue for the area. This was not a Meeting of the best and brightest. This was a lie fest of PHds (piled high and deep) of mediocre minds. I have been to decent schools UCSB in Santa Barbara is one of them. People were intimidated and wanted straight answers. None to be found there. Pick on the Serria Club, how about jailing them as a Non for Profit, Profiteering from big Oil, Chemical Company and Munitions Companies.
I have had many great teachers, but there was only one who seemed OK, the others were brainwashing the public for monies and more, the lies prevailed. I am not sorry I blasted them and for you Claire, saying quit bashing the Sierra Club......You need to save your bucks because you are going to need them when you are poisoned by the Gulf Cesspool.

These people and there egos don't fool me, because they are no better that the fishermen dying down in that spill. Actually I respect the Fishermen and the poor more.
Right now I care about the Humans, Children and the suffering going on. The deaths mount daily.
