Judge Martin Feldman, of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, ordered the Obama administration to move quickly on permits for new deepwater oil wells in the Gulf of Mexico, saying that the government could no longer justify long delays in allowing new projects to go forward.

Meanwhile, oil from the BP spill remains stuck on the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, according to marine scientist Samantha Joye of the University of Georgia, whose video and slides at a science conference in Washington demonstrated that the oil isn't degrading as hoped and has decimated life on parts of the sea floor.

Scientist Finds Gulf Bottom Still Oily, Dead

What’s wrong with this picture?

What’s wrong is that we have two camps of opinions:

The gulf oil has “gone away.”
The gulf oil has not gone away.

Honest reporters and researchers are unable to fathom the truth because of restrictions placed on researchers since the Deepwater explosion occurred in April 2010. Heavy restrictions have been put in place largely by BP Oil and the Obama Administration, and a massive cover-up has been in operation ever since. It seems that no one in powerful and influential positions is willing to admit the widespread disastrous effects of this spill, preferring instead the opinion that if the oil cannot be seen, then it has gone away.

Thanks to all the Corexit dumped in the gulf, much of the oil has shape-shifted, turning into more colloidal form as it slowly sinks to the bottom and remains until it is stirred up again. In the meantime, it is strangling bottom-feeding marine life and interfering with the Gulf Stream. In addition, floating oil islands wash up on shore along with unfortunate birds, fishes and other creatures that have gotten caught in them.

Moreover, stories of coastal citizens getting sick are not reported on mainstream patsy news stations and papers. Have the gulf oil sicknesses also “gone away?” Or are greater numbers than before just now displaying symptoms of ingested Corexit and oil?

If Samantha Joye is to be believed, (along with others of shared opinion) the oil spill has not “gone away.” It is still there, and still doing damage.
