<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">They are not accidents. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These
devastating events are caused, in large part, by the failure to
maintain infrastructure. This is a strategy which augments profits,
externalizing costs to ordinary people and to government, which is paid
for by ordinary people who do not have experts in tax avoidance working
for them as a matter of routine. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Actions speak loudly, and the Oil Industry routinely lies after a spill, telling those in the area they are in no danger. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This
site is intended to let victims be heard and also to ensure you have
the facts on what to expect if there is a 'disaster' in your area. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The
solution is locally organizing an Intervention Team so when, and if,
one of these events takes place you will be ready. See <a href="http://ecoalertlocalaction.blogspot.com/">Local Action</a>. </span></div>

Near El Reno. The strongest earthquake ever recorded in Oklahoma.
Magnitude 5.5. Most of Oklahoma was affected, as were parts of
Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Texas. Damage was
not extensive. Local residents were alarmed, and several thousands
of dollars in damages occurred. Chimneys were toppled, walls were
cracked, windows were broken, and bricks were loosened from
buildings. In Oklahoma City, a crack measuring 15 meters (49 ft)
was found in the State Capitol following the earthquake. The
earthquake, which occurred along the <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nemaha_Fault">Nemaha
Fault</a>, had a maximum intensity of VII near the
epicenter.<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009%E2%80%9316_Oklahoma_earthquake_swarms#cite_note-OKEQHist-15">[13]</a><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009%E2%80%9316_Oklahoma_earthquake_swarms#cite_note-El_Reno_1952-16">[14]</a></span><br />

The previous low <span style="font-size: medium;">occurrence</span> of earthquakes changed. Numbers jumped
to 20 with the beginning of several swarms of earthquakes in
Oklahoma.<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009%E2%80%9316_Oklahoma_earthquake_swarms#cite_note-EQ_bar_graph-17">[15]</a>
Research suggests that most of the significant earthquakes in
Oklahoma since the 1930s may have been induced by oil production
activities.<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009%E2%80%9316_Oklahoma_earthquake_swarms#cite_note-18">[16]</a></span><br />

to the major increase in earthquakes in the Central United States,
the <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Geological_Survey">United

model to account for risk associated with induced seismicity. To

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Thanks to the work carried out by the <a href="http://whistleblower.org/">Government Accountability Project</a>

in the Gulf are available. This page is a directory to the work GAP
compiled, including the quotes below. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The
poisons in oil enter the human body through multiple routes, but just
inhaling is one of these. The use of dispersants such as Corexit is
forbidden on or close to shore - but oil companies have used it anyway
in the past so whether or not Corexit was used at Refugio remains an
open question to be answered. </span></div>

Affidavits & Report Statements</u></b></span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>As an environmental scientist, I look at the way the
government and BP are handling, describing and discussing the spill
... [T]he government did not account for the increased toxicity of
the combined oil and Corexit.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> – Scott Porter, Diver,
Marine Biologist</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>[W]hen a BP representative came up on the speedboat and asked
if we need anything, I again explained my concerns about breathing
in the Corexit and asked him for a respirator ... He explained 'If
you wear a respirator, it is bringing attention to yourself because
no one else is wearing respirators, and you can get fired for
that.'</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> – Jorey Danos, Cleanup Worker</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>What brought all of these individuals into the same pool was
the fact that their symptoms were almost identical, and were
different from anything that I had ever observed in my 40 plus years
as a physician ... However, until people are educated about the
symptoms associated with exposure to toxic waste from the spill, we
cannot assume they will make the connection. I continue to witness
this disconnect and these symptoms on a daily basis.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> – Dr.
Michael Robichaux, Physician</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>When [the national director of The Children's Health Fund]
went to Boothville Elementary in Plaquemines Parish and they opened
the medical closet, it was full of nebulizers ... Where's the red
flag? What is causing that many breathing problems with that number
of kids? That is abnormal. At Boothville Elementary we have sick
kids all over the place who are suffering from upper respiratory
infections, severe asthma, skin infections, blisters in between
their fingers and arms and on their legs and their feet. Some kids
have blisters all around their mouths and their noses. These kids
were perfectly fine before the spill and the spraying of Corexit
began.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> – Kindra Arnesen, Louisiana Resident</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>The MSDS </i><b>[federally required chemical labeling
and safety information]</b><i> for Corexit list several of the
health problems I am now having, and they still used ... it
throughout the Gulf ... When I lived on the barge, for 24-hours a
day I was exposed. I would be outside too, breathing in what they
were burning, without a respirator or a Tyvek suit. I had an apron,
a hairnet, a spatula and some rubber gloves, and they told me to go
in the midst of this dangerous chemical environment. Yet they were
willing to tell me that the dispersant mixed in with the oil I was
cleaning was as safe as touching Dawn dishwashing soap? Then a year
later I have health problems that I have never had before working on
the barge...</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> – Jamie Griffin, Cook & Cleaner on
Bunkhouse for Cleanup Workers</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>They hired people from all over who didn't know about the
conditions and real safety hazards, but you did what you had to do;
you had to take the job and deal with it because you didn't have
money to go home ... There was a safety culture of, 'hush hush, it
didn't happen.'</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> – Anonymous Cleanup Worker</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>EPA and BP knew of the health impacts associated with
[Corexit and oil] ... The issue was responding to an oil spill of
this magnitude, with unprecedented quantities of Corexit, including
novel subsurface application. Gulf coastal communities, and
individuals who consume gulf seafood or recreate in the gulf, are
the guinea pigs left to deal with the consequences and will be
feeling the full effect in years to come.</i></span><br />

Subra, Chemist, MacArthur Genius Award Recipient</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>As part of an impromptu meeting to provide feedback from the
shrimping industry to EPA and NOAA, I met with EPA Administrator
Lisa Jackson in Venice on June 1, 2010. By that point, already
800,000 to 900,000 gallons of Corexit 9527A had been sprayed. I was
sitting across the table from Ms. Jackson and I asked her, 'Why is
it that when you have all of this going on and three air monitors
from Venice, Louisiana, EPA's reports are not showing any high
levels of chemicals?' Ms. Jackson responded, 'Well the levels were a
little high, but we didn't want to create a public panic.'</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> –
Clint Guidry, President, Louisiana Shrimp Association</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>It's been really hard to get an accurate diagnosis or
treatment, because none of the local doctors will even admit there
is a problem ... There's one friend of mine who happens to be a
doctor, and he's very well aware of what's going on but is afraid to
take a hard stand on it.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> – Shirley Tillman, Mississippi
Resident, Cleanup Worker</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Most of our members right now who are sick are in litigation
... They aren't going to sufficiently pay our medical bills to
demonstrate that they were responsible for the actions they took,
just as they didn't give us respirators to demonstrate that our
working environment was unsafe.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> – A.C. Cooper, Vice
President, Louisiana Shrimp Association</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Every time I check, there is still oil on the beaches and in
the estuary systems and in the wetlands and the marshes. People go
to the beaches and swim in the gulf, and report to me that they
still come up stained with a brownish tan color that they believe is
oil.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Unfortunately, oil companies have long depended on the fact petroleum poisoning impacts the body in distinct steps, some of these taking years to become obvious.

are hearing in the media and from friends that volunteers and hired
clean-up workers who are on the beach and in immediate contact with the
toxic spillage are safe because they have been issued Hazmat suits and
goggles. They have received these, and photos show this. But those
working on the beach will continue to be at risk until they are working
without being able to smell the toxic waste, which enters the system
through the nose and mouth as well. </span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">A study of
past litigation against offending oil companies by DANS reveals a
legal strategy which is referred to as the Four Dog Defense. Victims
become aware of this carefully honed strategy only when they have
signed with an attorney for representation. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">There are
missing links in the body of evidence. These missing links are
fundamental to any case to be made in court. </span>

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Removing
the links is a matter of managing the clean-up as a cover-up. </span>
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">This
has been carried out with a Unified Command for decades. </span>
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Oil
companies know if evidence is not gathered it cannot be used in
court. Removing links in the body of evidence makes it impossible
to prove beyond a reasonable doubt the offending company is
responsible. Therefore, oil companies refuse to supply essential
information on the contents of the spill, claiming it is proprietary.
Ask yourself, how can it be legitimate to claim information on the
material damaging the health of victims is proprietary? </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">And why is
the offending company allowed access to materials which, in any other
investigation, would be secured by law enforcement? </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">The company
knew what was flowing through their pipe – but the victims,
including locally hired clean-up workers, do not. To ensure justice
is done the offending company should be denied any contact with the
spilled material. This should be gathered and analyzed, directly, by
law enforcement. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">The gases
from the toxic chemicals stay in the blood for about three days after
exposure. During this period the victim may experience inflammation
in any of these areas, nose, throat, eyes, ears and sinuses. The
symptoms are flu-like, also resembling allergic reactions. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">After the
gases leave the body the chemicals remain indefinitely. Now known as
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), these find their way into
the lungs. There, the PAHs cause inflammation, which is often
diagnosed, and treated as Bronchitis or a similar condition. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">PAHs stay
in the body, beginning to concentrate in the body's fatty tissues.
Over the next months or years they may also migrate to the organs
which cleanse the body's system. There, they can cause organ death
or cancer. Although they are only present in minute amounts they
still can cause long term health problems and, eventually, death. </span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Crude oil,
either from the Hondo Preserve or elsewhere, has a high level of
Benzene, Toluene, and Xylene as well as Hydrogen Sulfide. Here is
the chemical profile of the Hondo. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">These
chemicals can impact you even when they are not detected by the sense
of smell. In the wake of a spill many report what seems like the flu
or allergies. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">This is why
the offender, following oil companies Four Dog Strategy, has PR
people on the scene telling victims the smell is not harmful.
Victims from the Mayflower Spill victims in 2013 and earlier victims
of the BP Deep Horizons Spill were told the same untruths. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Treatment
by a physician not familiar with the effects of petroleum poisoning
will usually be for the symptoms and achieve a cessation of these
symptoms temporarily. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">During this
early period the PR staff is following the script provided by their
employers. They know nothing of the medical literature and do not
have experience with past spills. They are brought in for the
purpose and will disappear back to their home bases before any real
alarms from victims sound. As employees, they have signed
non-disclosure contracts and cannot discuss what happened. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">For
residents, the use of early compensation for financial losses can be
accompanied by a non-disclosure agreement and make later claims
impossible. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">The number
of individuals who will be compensated is severely limited. In
Mayflower only 22 of the homes impacted were purchased outright by
Exxon from the 64 in the impacted North Wood subdivision. The
residents of these 22 homes were compensated for their hotel rooms,
but the other residents were not. No information on the price paid
for each of these is available. Many of the other residents left
their homes to find other places to live because they were becoming
ill. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Residents
in homes much further away experienced the same symptoms and to day
are still coping with chronic illness. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><b>What to
Expect – The Refugio Spill </b></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">The Refugio
Spill is different in that very few people were impacted because they
were in the spill area at the time. Most of those who we believe
will eventually realize they were impacted were volunteers, eager to
help, or short term employees of Plains All American Pipelines. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">These are
the people we need to contact. They face serious challenges and as
yet do not realize this. They need to document the presence of the
PAHs in their systems and assemble other documentation. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">We are
working to put together the essential partners to ensure monitoring
is carried out and the samples are tested. These will then be held
for the impacted individuals by their own physician with copies of
the test results provided to the individual with an additional copy
at our headquarters. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">To be
admissible in court monitoring must be done at a certified lab.
These are not available in the Santa Barbara area but they are in Los
Angeles. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">For any
future lawsuit to succeed in court monitoring should begin now. We
are contacting local physicians with information on past spills and
asking for their cooperation for these victims and also, for the
first time, to compile the evidence which has, before, never been
possible. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">You can help us by passing this onto your friends and neighbors in Santa Barbara and asking them to join our mailing list for updates below. If you know someone who might have been impacted ask them to get in touch with us so we can make sure they have information and help. <a href="http://ecoalerts.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_9.html">Critical Information</a>, on this site.
