Oil Spill Timeline from RightChange on Vimeo . He isn't leading, he is following orders.... this whole disaster is orchestrated by George Soros. (a communist billionaire who made his dough on weapons and crashing the british pound - guess what he is doing now?) it's all a plan to destroy America and the dollar for "global governance" = global communism! THe plan is to cancel our oil drilling and send all drilling to Brazil. where Soros invested in Petrobras (state owned oil co that found a new oil reserve deep u;nderwater outside of Brazil) Soros got Obama to promise Petrobras $2billion investment ..... then they got BP to put $20 Billion in an account - guess where $2B is going....? meanwhile all other oil rigs in Gulf is moving on down to Brazil - just as planned....while US looses jobs, $$$, industry, our environment.

A confidential government report on the unfolding spill disaster makes clear the Coast Guard now fears the well could be on the verge of becoming an unchecked gusher shooting millions of gallons of oil per day into the Gulf. WMR has been informed by sources in the US Army Corps of Engineers, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and Florida Department of Environmental Protection that the Obama White House and British Petroleum (BP), which pumped $71,000 into Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign -- more than John McCain or Hillary Clinton, are covering up the magnitude of the volcanic-level oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico and working together to limit BP's liability for damage caused by what can be called a "mega-disaster." Obama and his senior White House staff, as well as Interior Secretary Ken S...
