Don't test it so you don't know if it's safe or not

Project Gulf Impact has released a Youtube video interview with Dr. Gina Solomon who is among doctors, researchers, scientists and citizens "waging a silent battle against government agencies that are failing to fulfill their own organizational directives."

Following Dr. Solomon's recent NRDC articles: "Gulf Shrimp Testing: Is a Dozen Samples in 5000 Square Miles Enough to Reassure You?" and her article, "Six Months, Five Shrimp, and One Nasty Mess: Health & Seafood Safety Concerns from BP Spill Still Linger in Gulf Today," Project Gulf Impact interviewed her for the video (below) with what may be life-saving information for the general public.

From the onset of the Gulf Operation, Solomon has expressed deep concern and outlined health risks for pregnant women and unborn babies because they are highly susceptible to crude oil's carcinogens and DNA changing capacity. (See: Gassed in the Gulf: BP Gulf War Syndrome, Dupre, D., Examiner, June 14, 2010)

Only days after BPs greatest oil assault began, Solomon recommended that pregnant women leave the oil spill area since fossil fuel oil toxins cause miscarriages. As Josh Tickell states about miscarriages in his documentary, FUEL, "Factor that into the price of oil."

Oil spill VOC (volatile chemicals) acute health effects include but are not limited to "headaches, dizziness and nausea," and "[o]ver the long term, many of these chemicals have been linked to cancer, so there are lots of reasons to worry about inhaling them," advised Solomon. (Dupre, Hitting rock bottom calls for intervention, Examiner, May 9, 2010)

In her most recent article, Solomon wrote that three shrimp samples have been tested for 1,000 square miles.

"[T]he Federal government reopened 2,927 square miles of the Gulf to fishing and shrimping, just South of the Mississippi Delta. The Feds confirmed that the area was safe for shrimping by performing a "sniff test" for oil odors on five shrimp samples.

"They confirmed the sniff test with three composite samples of shrimp sent for chemical testing from an approximately 1,000 square mile area. No information was provided to the public on the size or location of the shrimping grounds or why so few chemical analyses were performed. This does not seem sufficient to assess the safety of the seafood coming out of the Gulf right now."

Project Gulf Impact's interview of Solomon adds to its firsthand accounts of how the Gulf of Mexico and its people are being what it calls "dangerously neglected."

The Gulf catastrophe worsens daily, as planned.

"With new reports of oil washing onto shore and into the bayou[s], the numbers of affected life are increasing, not dropping" according to Project Gulf Impact.

In the Project Gulf Impact Youtube video below, Solomon's opening remark is:

"The seafood testing so far has been so frustrating because it has been so, really unscientific. It's not that hard to do a basic seafood testing program. You go out and you figure out how many samples you need in order to have adequate statistical power to pick up a problem if it's really out there, and then you go out and you do it.

"But what's happening right now is this sort of sporadic, willy-nilly re-openings by different agencies, by state and federal government agencies, sometimes on the basis of really almost no testing results."

Project Gulf Impact crew members stated, "Several of our interviews have left us asking, why is organized, decisive action not being taken?"

Michael Edwards has recently answered this question by connecting the Gulf dots that indeed go far "Beyond Petroleum," as reported by the Examiner. (See: Gulf man-made bacteria, Blue Plague, vaccines...)

Profit, militarized human control, man-made bacteria, the Blue Plague and a vaccine are linked to the Gulf Operation executed as secretly planned.
