Judge Martin Leach-Cross Feldman, Justice for Buck$
Recently the Obama administration began a half-year moratorium on ventures aimed at drilling new oil wells at extreme depths. However, a judge with a spider web of personal financial ties to the industry has recently reversed this executive decision.
Judge Feldman's myopia stems perhaps from being personally invested in Transocean Limited, a company that owned the rig responsible for the oil volcano that has poisoned millions of square miles of open ocean in the Gulf of Mexico. Despite the twenty-four hour-a-day coverage of the ongoing disaster and cleanup, the destruction of livelihoods in the fishing industry amongst many others, Judge Feldman ruled that deep drilling should continue.
His financial report shows that he owned shares not only in Transocean but in at least a quintet of other companies directly or indirectly involved in the oil industry. It is likely these interests that greased the tip of his illustrious judicial pen. Amongst other interests he is also connected to Ocean Energy, a company involved in engineering design of underwater rigs. All of this might come as a shock to most readers, but it should not surprise those who know how business in America really function and in particular how the OilBoy network works.
Defenders of the judge might reply that he had no financial connection to the parties that brought the suit contesting the Obama administration's order. Of course his ruling permitting the continuation of deep water drilling would directly benefit his financial bottom line by helping companies in his portfolio; thus, his decision creates at least an appearance of conflict of interest. Moreover, his blatant disregard for the public's interest over special interests makes his motivation highly suspect.
One does not have to like Mr. Obama to know that this action by Judge Feldman has the foul odor of lucre for benefits. How do they say it in latin? Quid pro quo? A favor for a favor. Well no favors have been done to the many industries recently affected by the oil explosion in the gulf. It should be noted that at this writing the BP spill appears to be temporarily capped. It is hoped by all parties that such is the case. In watching the ongoing disaster one thing is very clear. Nothing is what it appears to be nor does our media completely inform the public.
You have to dig around and review the raw footage of early reports to even begin to get a clear picture of what is going on down there. The original broadcasts of the BP spill indicated at least three major leaks in the seafloor. Now that one of the leaks is allegedly covered, there has been some talk about the other major leak some few miles away. How did that happen? Why was the media not talking about that other leak earlier? Is the oil / gas reservoir so extensive that a blowout in one area created leaks of petroleum products miles away? What's going on?
