Hi Sealynx,
I'm frustrated and I hear the frustration in yours and everyone's posts on this thread. These are just thoughts that race through my mind as I try to make sense of what is going on, using my limited, and largely uninformed big picture thinking.
Wasn't it revealed just a couple of years ago that numerous imports to the USA, from China, such as baby formula, animal food (god only knows what else and where else it went to), were laced with deadly toxins? Is it prudent to assumed that narcissism is behind all such actions? Narcissism is sinister enough, but could something even more sinister be at work behind the scenes? What is it?
Where the BP oil spill is concerned, is it reasonable to think that the most culpable players/narcissists are the ones we don't see? Tony Hayward - CEO was the visible one. I'm more concerned about those operating behind a thick veil of protection, the ones we don't see.
According to the European financial database Amadeus, JPMorgan Chase is the No. 1 holder of stock in BP. That distinction also has earned the Wall Street bank the title of “Global Ultimate Owner” of the oil giant, as it owns 28.34% of BP. Next, at 7.99%, is Legal and General Group, a British-based financial services company with assets of more than $350 billion. Another U.S. investment firm, BlackRock Inc., owns 7.1% of BP. Other owners include the governments of Kuwait, Norway, Singapore and China.
Dang, it's so mixed up, I wouldn't know how to form a slanted view, let alone an accurate view.
