Total destruction of the eastern US continent by toxic rain and secret plans to evacuate tens of millions of GoM citizens. No, this is not an imdb plot entry. This is a report to the Russian president from the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources.
This post was deleted for the following reason: this is not a good post for metafilter. EU Tiimes is a sketch website and this article is weird and misleading. -- jessamyn
Fun little website you found here. Did you link to it because it was the only source you could find?

Well, uh, that's a little off-putting but that's a pretty weird news site. Odd for a supposedly European Union centric site to have a tea-partyesque article like this on it's front page.

I mean... I don't think that this being bad and effecting us for generations to come is far outside the realms of probability, but...

Flagged...this is a far right website devoted to "European Pride", which incidentally has some news on it.

I'm no BP booster. But I'd like to see the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources report, which the "EU Times" didn't bother to link (assuming that it actually exists).
The comments on some of the EU Times posts, by the way, make National Review Online post comments look like models of post-Enlightenment sanity.

What is it with hyperbolic Russian government analyses of US-related issues? Remember how the US is supposed to disintegrate into independent republics this year?

I clicked around for a few minutes, following source links for each (increasingly bizarre) site that claimed it, and was just linked to further conspiracy sites.
And then I clicked an ad and now I have a kit that will clean brainwashing chemicals out of my HARP infected lizardman water so that I can uncover the truth behind 9/11.
Well... not that last part.

Bit of a derial, but for those of you who don't know, and fwiw, the "depict Saddam as gay" story was also reported in the mainstream U.S. press.

I like the poll they have going on the right side of the page:

Do you think other US states will follow Arizona's anti-illegal immigration law?The meat of the article seems to hinge on the claim that the dispersant being used on the oil is "four times more toxic than oil (oil is toxic at 11 ppm (parts per million), Corexit 9500 at only 2.61ppm)." However, that seems like a fairly meaningless claim; the fact that Corexit is more toxic than oil might not be a contraindication if one unit of Corexit disperses many units of oil, and/or degrades faster than oil.
* Definitely
* No, they are all traitors
* Not sure

Man, that article had me going. Thanks for the reality check folks.
The thing I wonder is if the gulf stream is gonna carry of the oil or this nasty Corexit 9500, shit to Europe.

As if evacuation plans due to a corporate mistake could ever exist in America.

Although an active Hurricane Season (itself debatable and speculative) could indeed make the oil spill situation much worse, the links in this FPP appear mostly just to traffic in hyperbolic paranoia.
