So, after coming here, skimping on safety, getting people killed, ruining the environment, destroying people’s livelihoods, and then spending millions on a PR campaign of lies and deception, NOW you want to THREATEN the country? What total and complete arrogance.

I have an answer to your threat: NATIONALIZE. Every bit of BP’s American branches, subsidiaries, EVERYTHING. If they can’t pay, then they default. And some of us just don’t give a damn about their profits. It’s profit and big businesses insatiable demand for it that has caused nearly every problem that human kind has. it’s time once and for all to stop allowing profit to over ride everything else.

BP doesn’t WANT to pay. They have plenty of money, they just don’t want to cough it up. So if they want to threaten us, I say we take away everything they have and send them back to Britain. They did the damage, they promised to pay. There will be NO backing out now. I don’t give a flying rat’s ass if it bankrupts the whole goddamned company. I just don’t give a damn about these people and their profits anymore.

agree absolutely. here in oregon BP is advertising their big caring corporate heart.
“taking full responsibility” “not leaving until…” it is bs piled on bs.

Damage? What damage? Oh…

http://thedonkeyedge.com/2010/08/04/its-oil-in-your-head/

Sorry to say, BP likely watched how Republicans control Democrats with loud voices and small threats and too often Democrats bent over backwards or backed down completely. All that needs to happen is Mr. Limbaugh or Mr. Beck to claim the Democrats are responsible for stalling payments from BP because they won’t grant more drilling rights. Assigning responsibility in this way is ridiculous, but Democrats never examine or expose the tactics used against them, they just kowtow to the manipulators.

BP = British Ponzi Since when are these obscene mofo’s above the law? Let them quit and let us start seizing. Not only their wells, their offices and buildings and what ever they own or operate. Arrest the executives and let’s have a good old fashioned dog fight. I think they are bluffing, and if they’re not then we own them lock stock and barrel. They are the assholes who destroyed the life in an ocean and have destroyed the lives of hundreds of thousands if not millions of people… What should happen is all of the countries that are or will be affected should jump in here. Anyone that is on the pay of these sons of bitches should have their backs against the wall and their assets seized also.. If you a Repig in the pay of the oil industry, or a Dem then you no longer have a job or an office… Time for the shit to hit the fan.. Nice people? No, not among these greedy bastards.. Profits first and to hell with anything else, countries, oceans food chains workers wetlands you name it they have destroyed an area that will take decades if not centuries to cleanse itself… No they do NOT deserve one microgram of compassion or pity… Just like the Rayguns, Bush1, Bush2, Clinton not as much but still had his hand in the pot, and President Obama. I think it’s time to shit, or get off the pot…. Leadership is of the essence right now, please decide if you dig deep inside and show some…. You talked a good line back in 2004, but talk isn’t working and hasn’t shown any accomplishment on those real promises you made when running, right up to and including the election…

…………………..crickets……………

SEIZE them !!!

Freaking blackmailing slimy greedy bastards !

F’n shut em down! It’s about time someone had the balls to take big business to the mat and make them pay for the damage they’ve done. They need to understand that nobody is too big to fail. Shut em down, seize their assets and spend it all cleaning up their mess. There’s lots of oil companies who’ll pick up the slack where they are and with yet another rig blowing up in the gulf today, do we need to add BP to the risk?

British arrogance knows no bounds. The problem is that their could be a lot of American pension funds invested in BP

You are absolutely right, nationalize BP

And prosecute those environmental criminals.

An old saying still holds true: There is no such thing as an honest oilman.

The company operating the rig that blew up today was just yesterday ragging on Obama

They complained about his drilling drilling safety orders cramping their style..

Nationalize and prosecute them all.

Put big oil out of business with a massive Clean Energy New Deal for the 21st century.

A Clean Energy New Deal could put everyone to work and restore the US economy.

Most importantly, this New Deal could literally save the world from Global Warming,

Once again, there is no $20 billion escrow fund. That was a scam orchestrated by Barack Obama to further victimize the victims of the Gulf spill. Congress was poised to step in and handle this thing responsibly, so Barack Obama went into unitary executive mode to protect his corporate masters. There’s no $20 billion. If there were, there’d be nothing to worry about.

And if BP does not or cannot pay for damages caused by its actions in the Gulf, it should not be issued any new permits and should not be allowed to operate there. Further, confronted by BP’s economic blackmail thrust, the U.S. should insist on BP verifying anew its creditworthiness to operate in the Gulf. This is not a game of chicken.

close them down, nationalise operations , perform renditions and torture CEOs

Nationalize the oil and energy industry. And while your are at start a Federal Bank that loans to State Banks. Put the private banks out of business.
DO NOT CAPITULATE TO THESE GREEDY BASTARDS.

Congress was never in a position to demand anything.
And BP will pay the 20 billion that Obama demanded from them.

Problem is their are more British pension funds in BP than American pension funds.

You’re got it backwards, Einstein. Congress has the power to regulate the corporations. Nothing Obama does in this regard is even enforceable. That’s why there’s no escrow fund. That was a good try though.

What chutzpah! BP execs are lucky they’re not being frog-marched off to prison in orange jumpsuits. And now they want to blackmail us?! Of course, they make their own luck by buying politicians. Oh well.

Here’s an ultimatum, BP.

Come up with $20B immediately or risk losing:

1) the right to do business with the US govt

2) the right to own property in the US

3) the right to do business anywhere in the US or it’s territories

3) any existing permits or leases and any right to future permits or leases

5) the protection of the US military anywhere in the world

The oil beneath the gulf will still be there. Some other, more responsible company can be awarded the permits, or maybe we’ll decide not to give it away anymore. The “substantial impact on our cash flow,” might just keep you from getting your “life back” for a long while.

BP sure does make a good case for nationalization, again.

Why is it that whenever a country takes back it’s oil from companies like BP, they join the “Axis of Evil” and suddenly, they are considered led by an evil dictator?

Fuck you assholes…hang these fuckers, seriously “blackmail” ?????????

BP has bought friends in high places. Remember the Bush family oil cartel managed to get a drunken fool elected President of the US… TWICE. They still control enough votes in Congress to prevent anything meaningful from being done to repair the damage they did to our economy. After the next round of elections, they will be back in full control again, no matter what Obama does, he will be ineffective.

Or stop doing business in America .End of discussion .

Then sieze there accounts and arrest them for treason and destruction of public property.

Extortion is a Federal Crime!!!

BOOK ‘EM DANNO!

Good point, but isn’t that the sort of logic that got us bailing out banks and brokerage houses?

You know what, BP, many of us Americans don’t care if you have to pick up returnable cans to pay your debt to the American people. Corporations have person hood they should be treated as such. I know a person who was behind on his child support and that is exactly what the judge told him same should go for BP. They are not responsible, they have shown that from day one of this disaster. I am sure most of us just want them to clean their mess and just go away. No way in hell should they be left off the hook for one cent of the damage they have done.

Here’s the stakes BP. You will be grandfathered into this law on the following stipulation. You go ahead and drill. We will monitor all product and monies produced. Should you have another accident costing more than 5000 dollars to rectify, you will turn over the company to the U.S. government, lock, stock, and barrel.

Fuck you, BP.

That would be an appropriate response.

Excellent point, AtlanticCapers.

Twice now there have been reports that BP handed over the dough, and twice now there have been reports that no such fund exists.

I agree with those who say (a) arrest those who uttered the words of extortion and (b) arrest the board members who allowed said utterance. Then, freeze all BP assets and seize them. Later, we’ll figure out what, if anything, BP is allowed to retain in, oh, 100 years, when the scope of the disaster is determined. By the way, I wouldn’t imagine BP in any form would be around in 100 years.

Ready, Talis: so what.

Fuck pension funds. The solution is to take care everyone who is alive. Case closed. We don’t need no stinkin’ retirement funds. It’s just another bugaboo. Why should anyone have to spend one second of their life worrying about a retirement plan or their stock portfolio?

A revolution in thinking needs to occur where everyone in America is taken care of by enforcing the constitutional mandates of equality and providing for the general welfare.

Simultaneously, of course, corporate officers who interfere with the legislative, executive or judicial affairs of this nation should be arrested, prosecuted, fined and jailed. No longer should Americans tolerate corporate interference, and, as a matter of fact, corporations should die on the death of the founders (plus 20 years to wind down).

In addition, hoarded wealth should be seized, tax rates should approach 100% on income and assets above a threshold (circa $250,000), and everyone living should have a roof over their head, a job, health care and real food, not necessarily in that order.

A whole new economy should be started where labor and wages are important not profit or investment. The answers are simple and obvious. Manufacturing and farming should return to the US and they should be run by families or cooperatives. Of course, bringing these ideas to fruition can occur only by revolution and not the ballot box.

America is owned by corporations.

If it wasn’t, the US govt. would have already told BP to fuck off, in line with the sentiments of most people posting here.

But it is…

A government of the corporations, by the corporations, for the corporations.

Hey BP, don’t let the door hit you in the @ss on your way out, as my granny said…

Guess British Petroleum doesn’t read the British papers. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/comment/7970619/Obama-could-kill-fossil-fuels-overnight-with-a-nuclear-dash-for-thorium.html

[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by stephanie, Green For You. Green For You said: BP ultimatum (blackmail): Let us drill or funds will dry up for Deepwater Horizon oil spill damages and cleanup #green http://bit.ly/auWpNy [...]

It’s so cute when you pretend to know things.

Like when a child puts on an adult’s shoes.

Easy solution. Liquidate BP and use the money to clean the Gulf and pay the victims their damages. Isn’t that what Lawyers do? If you don’t have house insurance and a neighborhood kid drowns in your pool because you don’t have a fence, you lose your house…
But with BP reality sets in: Too Big to Fail

Wow – British arrogance when the leaders and engineers on the project were American following American health and safety regulations, and it is the American members of the board of BP America that made the comments quoted – just because the company used to be called “British Petroleum” doesn’t mean the arrogance is from the British staff – quite the opposite I would say!

bp really has nothing to worry about. The corporate owned senate will take years to get to the bill the house passed. With obama and reid, this bill will never see the light of day.

“Oil giant BP is telling lawmakers that if it isn’t allowed to get new offshore drilling permits in the Gulf, it will not be able to afford to pay for the damage caused by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill”

How about we kick your sorry @ss out of the U.S.

They aren’t called the “Big Piss” for nothing. The only “warm” feeling you get about them is when they piss down your leg to make you feel warm.

Well said, nothing more to say

Time to put these pricks out of business. First, they screw up our coastline then act like police by keeping people off of public beaches with their goon squad. Time to pull their business license here in the states and tell them where to go…

“Let us drill or funds will dry up”…….BULLSHIT!!!
This is petro-blackmail in progress.
Let them sell of company assets and the mansions, cars, planes and boats of their execs to cover their sorry corporate asses.

How about “keep your promise or we shut you down”

Oops, I forgot who owns the Government… There is no way puppet master Rahm would let anyone stand up to a corporation! He probably screamed “Yeah! F you Earth” when he heard about the spill

How about “keep your promise or we shut you down”

Oops, I forgot who owns the Government… There is no way puppet master Rahm would let anyone stand up to a corporation! He probably screamed “Yeah! F you Earth” when he heard about the spill

Nationalize all BP operations in the US

Any bets as to what congress will do? I mean other than telling BP that they have re-considered what said earlier and also telling BP; “You can shove that money just as far up our asses as you want. As far as what Rahm said, that’s what we will tell the taxpayers. You own our asses, sir, and we will be your slaves”.

BP has no shortage of oney. If making reparations in the USA for their OWN negligence is costing too much then BP should halt their African drilling projects and apply that venture capital to its damaged debt.

That’s simple enough, if BP wants to behave like an individual American with unrestricted candidate support rights, let BP live up to its American responsibilities. If you or I faced charges of negligence that led to damages we’d damned sure be expected to pay up or face stiffer penalties. BP can do the same.

common sense act?

BP on public spectrum act?

foreign interests disclosure on candidates ballot entry act?

security clearance for oath breakers of the us constitution act?

You really mean their government officials control. The people don’t hate. The people didn’t cause the mess

With the kind of logic our government officials use, perhaps AT&T and BP should merge, this way they both can be classified, and keep poky whistleblower noses out.

I wish they would use common sense ™ seems it’s patented and lost forever.

How about ride their ass until we understand their technology?

Just up to the moment they get a security clearance audit comparing their OATH to DEEDS.

I’d rather ride their ass (see above)

Not only have you been trained to ignore the truth, but you’ve been trained to attack the people who tell it. You’re exactly the same as the Teabaggers — you’re an uneducated simpleton looking for a leader. And you found one in Barack Obama. Pathetic.

Does nationalization mean UN control? cause I have a 2nd amendment problem with that.

Down with BP!!! Time to be responsible and clean up the ocean!

Tell them to get drilling permits from Iran!

The administration should tell BP: Another ultimatum, and we’ll throw your managers into jail for criminal extortion under the RICO act!

Really, who do they think they are? A foreign corporation, doing much business inside US sovereign territory, responsible for the biggest oil spill in history, but still trying to blackmail the effing White House? Are they nuts???

BP killed 13 workers. BP has poisoned our food supply. BP has poisoned our air. BP has poisoned our water.

Now they threaten us?

Al Qaeda has done less damage to America and Americans.

The USA should declare war on BP.

what a bunch of horseshit. bp is drilling and polluting all over the world. their ops in the gulf are a spip in the ocean

Well if they are using extortion, … Maybe we should confiscate ANY and ALL assets is has in ALL US territory’s.

there is no U.S. government. There is only the existence of New York mega-Financials and Oil Companies….And a middle-of-the-road President in Progressive clothing who can’t miss an opportunity to praise Reagan or Bush.

It’s essentially extortion. As one poster put it, just confiscate their accounts and assets in the US and that will surely be enough to cover the 20 billion.

It sure underscores what a fraud the phony “war on terror” really is when these terrorists are given $billions in tax breaks and then threaten to not pay us for the damage they cause. That’s right wing ideology for ya.

They’re only nuts if the Administration and Congress doesn’t back down. The money in the fund is not an eskro account, BP did not put the 20B in an account; the money is tied by written agreement to future income IN THE GULF. It was a poorly negotiated agreement by the Administration and this is the logical, anticipated next step. BP will not be denied new permits and that House bill will die in the Senate. When you consider that 11% of BP’s business is in the Gulf but accounts for 25% of BP income it seems to me that BP should be the party over a barrel if anyone had actually been concerned about protecting the interests of the American citizens and those injured/affected by the explosion and spill. Of course, that opinion is predicated on my 1/2 credit hour in contract negotiation so I’m probably missing the ‘big picture’ or the ‘nuances’ of the negotiation process :-)

If ever there was a psychopathic (or sociopathic) corporation, bp is it.

They are a cancer among society, and Earth in general.

Until they are treated as such, they will continue to metastasize.

Here’s a bargaining chip for you: RE-CEI-VER-SHIP.

Someone should give BP executives an ultimatum that goes like this: Clean up your goddamned mess or I’ll cut your balls off with a spoon.

Find out where these guys live and start gathering outside of their homes with pitchforks, ax handles and torches.

If only it were that easy. What to do with their property holdings? existing leases? Sure, seize them, sounds great but ain’t gonna happen.

A measure to ban US govt from spending money with them would be easy to pass.
Banning them from bidding on new leases on govt land might work too.
Throwing them to the wolves, stop protecting their interests abroad…that might pass and would certainly give rise to some attention in Europe…imagine if oil companies couldn’t rely on US to cover their ass.
Seizing property? I’m not so sure I’d like to see that. you didn’t suggest it, but many have.

There are going to be illegitimate claims. It’s impossible to document what you didn’t earn. So it’s going to be bonus time for the people affected by the oil spew (it wasn’t a spill). Estimate their losses, multiply it by ten and get them to sign off.

Fight fie with fire. Let the lawsuits begin and start stripping BP of all its assets. Increase fines and shut down their entire US Operation. Bring them to their knees! Look at criminal indictments, too.

They want to play hardball, let’s play hardball!

I think it is time to get personal with BP. While we are at it, we should get personal with the banksters, the hedge funders, the high frequency traders, the insurance mafia, the drug companies, the military contractors, the rest of the oil companies.

We should out them in public. Point your finger at them and say “There’s one of the assholes from BP”, or Goldman Sachs or Citibank or JP Morgan Chase, or AIG or Exxon or Raytheon and so on and so forth. They should be publicly called out as individuals. This is not some monolith, it is a company made of people. I think these people should be called out as individuals and embarrassed at least. Make them feel like the shit that they are. That is the least we should do.

You would have a point if it weren’t for the fact that BP got all regulations concerning their rigs in deep water overturned. You can thank Cheney for asking what they wanted, and then saying “Granted” when given the chance. Why do you think it’s so important that they don’t let us know anything about the “energy meetings”? You can bet that there IS British arrogance involved. More importantly, there is the arrogance of big money involved. It really doesn’t matter if they are Brits, Canadians, or anybody else. It’s the arrogance of those who buy governments to make things easier for themselves, and then when the shit hits the fan, they want to run away without dong anything to fix things that is the problem.

I stand by my original statement, fuck ‘em.

send military teams to each rig and confiscate them all….if they still want to extort us,send subs to their rigs globally,and take them as well…

There are any number of campaign issues they could run with and easily defeat the Refuglykkkunts. Want to guess which ones they’ll go with?

Trick question! The answer is NONE OF THEM. Spineless wussies.

I hope you’re wrong and that they find a backbone somewhere. They seem so fearful of upsetting people by attacking the Republicans thinking that those on the fence will see it as a personal attack. They forget that nice guys finish last.

Second ONLY to over-population which causes he demand.

Simple answer here, something very simple that we dems have been waiting for.

Tell BP, pay up, or get out. If they don’t pay up, they are banned from doing business in the US, with US partners..

The main thing we have been waiting for, backbone! I do believe we want a fight, we want to stand up to bullies.

CorpUSA has us by the balls, they squeeze tighter each day, week, month, year. I want my dem reps to squeeze back, to FIGHT.

You think poll numbers (those who are actually aware and respond) are sad now for dems, it will only get worse if they don’t fight back.

Obama motivated us to make a change and fight back. Where did the fight go? Oh, we made nice upon the election…not what we were looking for.

I only give $$$ to fighters, not whiners.

I suggest to all to only give to those who fight for what is right, and not those whining about covering their, or their money-lenders’s, job security.

That’s a point. But my comment was about what the administration SHOULD do. If they had some spine!

Start throwing these frackers in jail. Then you’ll see how fast they pony up the money. These multinational corporations are way to powerful. We need some politicians with the balls to take them on. Wishful thinking on my part. Hell will freeze over before we see a president that doesn’t grovel at their feet like a lap dog.

Or how about corporate inertia, which makes sure that not one freaking penny is spent on things like REPLACING oil as our only real source of power. Really, if it weren’t for the corporations making sure that nothing EVER changes, that their money and power call all the shots, and that no research ever gets done that might replace their 19th century fuel source, we might have already replaced oil with something far more environmentally friendly. They have done everything they can to cut off funding (Gov’t and otherwise) for solar, wind, tide and any other renewable, abundant source of energy. This is not passive resistance, this is outright war, and it’s against US and the planet.

I stand by my original statement: Fuck ‘em.

If only it were that easy. What to do with their property holdings? existing leases? Sure, seize them, sounds great but ain’t gonna happen.

Ugh, I hate it when people pull this “This is impossible because…” shit. No one cares about the loose strings or any good questions you can come up with. We want them gone, now, because it’s the right thing to do. There aren’t going to be any bad consequences for getting rid of them; we don’t CARE what we’ll have to deal with afterward, they need to be gone.

Really, the corporate headquarters of BP in London needs to be burnt down with the entire board of directors inside, but that’s another flavor of pie completely…

UN control? Where the hell are you getting that bullshit from? Venezuela has nationalized oil, does the UN control THAT? No, of course not. NATIONALIZATION means NATIONAL control. Good Lord, are we dealing with COMPLETE morons here, or what?

What right wing talk show piece of crap put that into your head? I have no doubt that they also told you that privatizing everything under the sun will result in cheaper prices for those services, didn’t they? Too bad you can point to EVERY SINGLE PLACE it’s been done, and look to CONSTANTLY RISING prices. Look at Colorado, where we used to spend $70 million per year on prisons. Now, after 30 years of Reagan era “privatization”, we spend 11 TIMES that amount now. We spend the same amount on cannabis law now that we used to spend on EVERYTHING. And you can count on that EVERY TIME greed wins out. Don’t trust ANYTHING they say, they are LYING TO YOU. And it makes you sound like a COMPLETE idiot when you spout the same things back to others. Sorry for the attitude, but Good Lord, that was one of the most blatantly misinformed things I’ve read in YEARS.

I have a solution to the BP problem. You’ll need a stout tree, some rope and some volunteers. And I don’t think those volunteers would be awfully hard to find.

can anyone say EXTORTION? Punishable by PRISON, FINES, RESTITUTION?

If you read the article closely, this should have jumped out at you: 11% of BPs wells are in the Gulf…..that means that 89% are elsewhere making money. Also, the fields there account for 1/4 of BP’s profits….that means 3/4 of the PROFITS are made elsewhere.

Again…that’s EXTORTION Mr President. What are you going to do about it?

Pretty easy retort.. PAY WHAT YOU OWE, or you’ll be nationalized…Got it??

BP, you pay or you die!

Bought, paid for, and sittin at a Dunkin Doughnuts

It is not possible to ‘ban BP from doing business in the US’. Totally impossible.

LOL! BP is now blackmailing the US gov’t.

And… since the US gov’t consists of well-moneyed elected officials who answer to multi-national corporations I sense the US gov’t will ‘magically’ turn around and let BP continue to drill.

Anyone doing this? I’d rather burn HHO from water than HydroCarbons from Criminal Polluters like BP. Interesting information on how to cut back on burning fossil fuel right now, could be very cost effective and give a smoother stronger cleaner engine with less pollutants (other than the KOH- but that might be minimal as you replace it once a year I believe.

Not the hookers. ANYTHING but the hookers!

ATTACH AND SEIZE ALL THEIR ASSETS, NOW! HOLD UNTIL THEY MEET THEIR OBLIGATIONS, OR SELL THEM TO PAY FOR THEIR MESS!!!!!

Interesting idea. And I think it would work. There are no laws that I’m aware of that prevent people from making others ‘celebrities’.

I dont agree with you on the 100% on income approach.
My coimment was sarcastic.
I dont give a rats ass what BP says. Nationlize the energy industry now.
