Hi folks,
I should have written this a few days ago, I now realize; on the other hand, it's tough to picture any of you not knowing of the 'Hands Across the Sand' event today (as I write).
So you should not have needed reminding. Still...
By the time you read this I'll have been there, or, rather, here, at Ditch Plains Beach, Montauk. Where it all started for me and the ocean (surfing anyway).
But in case you don't know: People are gathering on beaches across the US to 'hold hands' in solidarity and protest of the BPC (British Petroleum Catastrophe).

A few of you have asked what I think of the BP petroleum catastrophe in the Gulf. A couple were disappointed that I haven't written a message about it. Good point, considering my relationship to what's in peril.
I haven't written because, insofar as I can, I'm rushing to finish my film, Water Time, and only have so much... juice to expend on any given day. Writing this will kill half a day of film editing. Half a day lost. Half a day longer before it's done.
I'm worried about finishing... in time...
TWO HOURS LATER
Went to the 'event.' A thousand people at the beach lined up holding hands...
Well...
...'Hope is not a strategy.' Good quote.
Truth is, I mainly got angry down at the surf break where I caught my first wave, thinking of the likely reaction of the 'people' who are responsible for the BPC and so many other outrages against the planet should they see a sight like that line of 'small people' (BP's CEO quote, referring to us) stretching a quarter mile down the coast.
A smirk.
A few nights ago I attended a beach-meeting of the folks who helped set up the hand holding event, plus others concerned about the BPC.
People talked for an hour or so about the BPC and related matters. I listened. No one brought up the possibility that the BPC might not have been accidental. So I did. Asked if anyone had heard of any evidence that it was not an accident. I think three people out of 30 or so raised their hands.
I commented that if the BPC were not accidental, it would 'change everything' about how we should react to it. True, right?
Okay, but what evidence is there? How about Tony Hayward, the BP CEO, selling nearly two million shares of his own company's stock in the week before the catastrophe, and thereby saving himself millions when BP stock plummeted? (Google 'BP CEO + sold stock')
And good old Goldman Sachs, the archetypical 'insider' company selling nearly 5 million shares just before the spill? (The head of Goldman Sachs formerly co-chaired BP.)
Cheney's Haliburton's was the company that improperly sealed the well immediately before the explosion, right? Guess what else they did? Eleven days earlier, they bought the company that would be hired to clean up the mess.
But the main evidence is the testimony of the men who survived the original platform explosion; how time after time they warned BP (and Haliburton) that the rig was 'going to blow' yet were ordered to do things that would only exacerbate the danger; the best example of this is their using salt water to seal the unstable cap instead of the usual heavy-weight sealing fluid. 'You never would do that (unless you wanted a catastrophe)' is a quote from a drilling expert not connected to BP or Halliburton.
Do your own googling on this, folks, but the evidence goes on and on. This stuff is just the tip. (Not a peep from the MSM, though. Shit, don't get me started.)
If you're wondering why the hell an oil company like BP would perpetrate a catastrophe that will likely lead to the success of the 'cap and trade' (global warming) agenda, then, again, you are the victim of the mass misinformation campaign being waged against all of us: BP (and all of big oil) is joined at Obama's hip on global warming/the carbon tax.
They all want the carbon tax pushed through by the hoax of global warming (since there is no global warming, it's now called 'climate change').
The carbon tax is the holy grail of the 'deep state' powers that be. Why? A hint: We exhale carbon dioxide with every breath. Ever hear this truism: 'The power to tax is the power to destroy'? Point being that taxation is the ultimate power over us. And taxing the literal air we breathe would also mean that they would have to know everything about our lives (in order to 'properly' tax us).
Money plus the legal excuse/power to surveil. This is what they want.
So for those of you who have asked what I think about the BPC, that's it.
Hold on. If you don't believe me that Big Oil is behind the carbon tax -- and therefore 'climate change' --click here for a 2006 article from the Washington Post that sums it up.
In fact, this is really important; a perfect example of how you (most probably) have something vital back-asswards (because you've been repeatedly subjected to a Big Lie). Let me quote from the above article:
"We have to deal with greenhouse gases," John Hofmeister, president of Shell Oil Co., said in a recent speech at the National Press Club. "From Shell's point of view, the debate is over. When 98 percent of scientists agree, who is Shell to say, 'Let's debate the science'?"
When the big shot at Shell Oil says, '(W)ho is Shell to say, 'Let's debate the science'?" you know that whatever 'science' he's pitching is utter horseshit. (In fact, his '98 percent' figure is the Big Lie.)
Al Gore says the North Polar Ice Cap is 'Disappearing before our eyes.' Right? Okay, click here to check out the last 5 years of the North Polar Ice Cap's coming and going with the seasons. Now, who you gonna believe, Al Gore or your eyes?
If you want to know the actual truth about science and global warming, a good place to start is the film 'The Great Global Warming Swindle,' which is viewable on Youtube and elsewhere.
So when you hear some MSM pundit claim that Big Oil is behind the 'climate skeptic movement,' be advised that that person is lying.

Many months ago, when I realized how big and long and complex a project Water Time would be I commenced to worry that it would not be finished in time. In time to do any good, that is.
In a very real sense, Water Time is about the BPC and why we don't know the truth about it, and time is running out, on many levels. (If you've seen the opening, you know it's not a 'political' documentary'; it's a memoir; it's about me and my dog and surfing and traveling and friendship and honesty and... trying to stay sane. This is what makes it complex.)
So I fear. Aside from the obvious (a real global meltdown, economic, military, microbal, and so forth), I fear for the Internet, which is my only realistic means of communicating with you.
More paranoia from Allan W? Click here.
Joe Lieberman, the bill's sponsor, recently told CNN this: "Right now China, the government, can disconnect parts of its Internet in case of war and we need to have that here too."
The Net is the principle enemy of those who would usurp our freedoms. Does anyone doubt that?
If there is a 'cyber attack' – and I believe there will be within a couple of years at most -- it will of course be blamed on 'terrorists,' and, like the BPC, it will be a false flag event.
Then the MSM will be able to continue its misinformation and outright lying with no dissenting voices.

I'm tilting at windmills, I know. Like I could do any good with my little homemade flick. What a joke, right?
My father and my uncles (two uncles, one on each side) went to war against Hitler, gave up two years of their lives to hardship and misery and risk of death or crippling injury, knowing -- they must have known -- that their personal contribution to the effort meant literally nothing.
Why would they do this? (For now I'll not deal with the 'war system' of societal organization, and the related matter of our bellicose genetic make up.)
On some level of consciousness, they were trying to save the planet.
So I've been working on this film for almost three years now and feel the same way about it (and have sacrificed much, although not on the same level as my relatives); Although I won't make any difference, I have to give it a shot.
I'll be in touch.

For those of you who continue to ask (which I love): Water Time; Surf Travel Diary of a MadMan (Mad Man)is coming along very well. Part One (of two) is done in rough cut. It's 57 minutes, which means that if Part Two is of comparable length (I think it will be), we're looking at a pretty long film. I'll probably have to kill some darlings...
I'm hoping six months to finish.
I'm still looking for an investor. I need at least 100 grand to properly finish and release it. Interested parties contact and I'll send a proposal.
