Tags: BP Criminals in the Gulf, Charlie Rose Brain Series 8, Republican Fear & Aggression
We know from the behavior Americans adopting East European babies who were neglected in the wards to have severe behavior problems. Brain studies has show that isolation increases the aggressive tendencies of flies to humans. Fear and aggression provided a survival mechanism with genes which are epigenetically influence strongly by the home environment for babies and children.
Aggression in families, especially the father, and the use of fear tactics to control children may explain radical Republican behavior. Republicans are now trying to stop the implementation of the Health Reform Plan by refusing to allow a vote on the highly respected nominated head of the implementation process.
I watched several hours of the Kenner hearings on C-Span 3 on Friday. Mineral management, BP, Oceanic, and Cameron (Electronic controls) all tried to trip up the workers by their questions repeated at different times in different language. One football player size Black supervisor of the non-electronic controls had a remarkable memory where he related conversations he had with many people. The guy at Cameron had him repeat essentially the whole thing again trying to make him contradict his prior testimony.
About seven hours of rigger data sent to headquarters is mysteriously missing.
The captain of the vessel tried prevent the mechanic from turning off operations after the fire and explosion from electronic operation board, but needed hydraulic fluids to operate and it was not working. The mechanic went ahead anyway because that was his job to shut down in case of emergencies and knew that he had to abandon ship and somehow got the last safety boat leaving the ship.
This testimony and other information reported by the New Orleans Times Picayune is extremely important.

But while the public attention has been focused on the Top Kill well closure attempt and the mind numbing spill cam BP was finally forced to “allow” the public to see, hearings have been proceeding in not only Congress as covered by Emptywheel (see here and here), but also in Kenner Louisiana in front of a joint Coast Guard/MMS Federal inquiry board.
There have been startling revelations, especially out of the Kenner joint inquiry. The New Orleans Times Picayune is once again on a path to a Pulitzer for their disaster coverage and has given comprehensive coverage from Kenner and The Hill in Washington. Here are some items from the evidence set being adduced in Kenner and Congress: ... http://emptywheel.firedoglake.com/ Scroll down for article.
