State officials shut down shrimping in Gulf amid scientists finding deformities and ‘horrifying creatures’ — Media attributes closure to lesions, then retracts

Title: Looming Crisis: Officials Close Gulf Waters to Shrimping As Reports of Deformed Seafood Intensify
Source: Stuart H. Smith
Date: April 23, 2012

Quote:Alarmed by widespread reports of visibly sick, deformed seafood coming out of the Gulf of Mexico, state officials have closed area waters to shrimping this morning (April 23). The waters will be closed indefinitely as scientists run tests in an effort to get a handle on a situation that is fast becoming a full-blown crisis on the Gulf Coast.

The closures – including all waters in the Mississippi Sound, Mobile Bay, areas of Bon Secour, Wolf Bay and Little Lagoon – mark the first official step in responding to increasingly urgent reports from fishermen and scientists of grotesquely disfigured seafood from Louisiana to the Florida panhandle.

[...] I am deeply saddened but not surprised by the shrimping closures. I applaud the courageous move by state officials to put consumer safety first. There’s no doubt in my mind – as I’ve said for months on end – that seafood coming out of the Gulf of Mexico is unfit for human consumption. [...]

What took 'em so long?!

Fuckers can't stop eating it themselves, so they have to shut it down forceably.

People are weird.

Indictments, convictions and hangings?

With this government? I dunno if that's even possible in this rabbit hole we are in.

Think about it:

1) MF Global can literally steal hundreds of millions of dollars on the company president's orders and nothing at all happens.

2) Solid, vetted experts say the president's credentials are fraudulent and nothing happens.

3) Congress and Wall Street looted the treasury to create this artificial crisis. The bailouts covered outright FRAUD by Wall Street and the banksters and none of these perps are prosecuted.

4) Washington now says we are all potential terrorists. They say this while they are molesting our wives and children and stealing our property.

And these points are only the "light reading".

Yeah, it's messed up when you make sure your bag of shrimp is a product of Thailand or Vietnam but that's what it has come to.

But I think the anchovies I used in the sauce might have been from the gulf cause when I opened the can one of em jumped out and went right for my nipple. chuckle
