Protests at BP meeting over bosses' pay and environment

BP was given a bloody nose yesterday as 12 per cent of its shareholders voted against top executive pay packages at a colourful annual general meeting in which environmental protesters were forceably carried out of the building.

Including abstentions, about 13.3 per cent of BP shareholders who voted by proxy failed to back BP's remuneration report. Their chief concern was the decision to award chief executive Bob Dudley £4.3m in salary and bonuses last year – a move which Pirc, the shareholder advisory group, recommended its members oppose.

Pirc argued that Mr Dudley's pay was "difficult to justify" in a year which saw BP's already depressed shares slump by a further 5 per cent.

Shareholders also registered their disapproval of Carl-Henric Svanson, with 8.5 per cent failing to back his reappointment.

But while some investors quietly voted against the scale of pay, others were more vocal about environmental concerns, with the Gulf of Mexico oil spill in 2010 and BP's involvement in Canadian tar sands high on their agenda.

In the most dramatic part of a frequently testy annual general meeting at the Excel Centre in London's Docklands, one investor accused BP of hastening the demise of the planet.

At this point he was joined by fellow protesters, who promptly fell to the floor pretending to die and were carried out by security guards in front of the packed gathering.

Frustration was also expressed outside the meeting, as Gulf Coast and tar sands activists joined forces. "The clean-up is not complete," said Derrick Evans, from Gulfport in Mississippi. Oil washes ashore with unprecedented frequency, bringing dead sea life."

A company spokesman said: "BP's efforts to help restore the Gulf Coast region have not only been significant, they are unprecedented."

that list does say it all...

Mitt Romney contributors at the top of the list of commodity price fixing charges too... amazing coincidence....

Obama's contributors, not such nice people and should be made to pay reparations, of some sort. Romney's contributors, criminals and traitors who all belong in prison with Romney himself. I didna make the list, just comment on the differences in criminal behavior. Like misdemeanors vs. felonies.

I am clear that I am not voting for the lesser of two evils. I am voting for Obama because his administration will give me more time another Bush administration will see the boxcars in months. FEMA needs labor for the coming climate disasters.

The Irony? Obama is technically a Bush, he's Bush Jr. Blood Cousin.

Take Down of the Federal Reserve System Begins
Bix Weir


In an interview last weekend the "Good Guy Insider" gave a brief update on the pending take down of the Bad Guys. In this interview Drake said to expect something to be leaked out of the Federal Reserve sometime midway through the week. Here's the interview and the Drake conversation is right at the beginning:

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/freedom...freedom-reigns

So I was watching for something related to the Federal Reserve and AS IF RIGHT ON CUE revelations came out about the Fed hiding massive amounts of information on their meetings during the 2008 financial crisis. Here's Dylan Ratigan (part of the Good Guys) exposing the info.

(interview at the link)

I will address this further in this weeks Friday Road Trip.

EVERYTHING is exploding for the Bad Guys.

It may seem a bit confusing that the Road to Roota Theory shows the Federal Reserve working to take down the Banking Cabal and yet, on the surface, they seem to be working with the Bad Guys.

My take: We have come to the time when the Federal Reserve falls on their own sword.

Ron Paul is about to get a GREAT BIG BOOST in visibility as he pursues these latest revelations!

It's all going as planned...

It is TAKE DOWN TIME!

Rupert Murdoch's News Corp breaches US foreign investor law

Rupert Murdoch’s cast iron grip of News Corporation appeared to weaken a little on Wednesday, after a breach of US law effectively forced the media giant to halve the powers of some of his biggest allies.

News Corp, which has spent most of the last year battling the fallout from the News of the World phone-hacking scandal, inadvertently allowed foreign investors to hold 36pc of Class B voting stock – well past the 25pc limit enshrined in American 1934 Communications Act.
In order to fix the problem, on Wednesday it suspended 50pc of the Class B voting rights of its investors outside the US, effectively halving the power of certain foreign investors.

Those affected include the Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, News Corp’s second biggest shareholder with around 7pc of voting rights. The Saudi investor has long been one of the Murdoch family’s staunchest supporters, telling reporters last summer that his “confidence in News Corp, in Rupert Murdoch and James Murdoch [was] unshaken completely” and that he was “standing by” his friends.

Statement from Secret Service on resignations (USA)

Posted by:
CNN Senior White House Producer Emily Schultze
The following is a statement from Assistant Director Paul S. Morrissey, U.S. Secret Service Office of Government and Public Affairs:

"Although the Secret Service's investigation into allegations of misconduct by its employees in Cartagena, Colombia, is in its early stages, and is still ongoing, three of the individuals involved will separate or are in the process of separating from the agency:

* One supervisory employee was allowed to retire from the agency.

* Another supervisory employee has been proposed for removal for
cause, which requires a 30-day notice, an opportunity to respond and the
right to be represented by private legal counsel.
* A third non-supervisory employee has resigned.

The remaining eight employees continue to be on administrative leave.
Their security clearances remain suspended.

The Secret Service continues to conduct a full, thorough and fair investigation, utilizing all investigative techniques available to our agency. This includes polygraph examinations, interviews with the employees involved, and witness interviews, to include interviews being conducted by our Office of Professional Responsibility in Cartagena, Colombia.

Since these allegations were first reported, the Secret Service has actively pursued this investigation, and has acted to ensure that appropriate disciplinary action is effected. We demand that all of our employees adhere to the highest professional and ethical standards and are committed to a full review of this matter.



Somewhere on cyberspace there was the suggestion that this was really to do with an attempted assassination on Obama??[COLOR="red"] - oohh that's a computer freudian slip from the computer on colour red - which just appeared...

Fed Doc’s and The Revolving Door
April 16, 2012

Months after requesting the transcripts detailing what happened inside the Fed during the financial crisis, the Dylan Ratigan Show reveals the information they received, and discuss their findings with the Huffington Post’s Ryan Grim and Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden.

FOMC Transcripts from 2007-2010
April 16, 2012

As promised, here are the transcripts of certain internal Federal Reserve meetings from 2007-2010, specifically, the meetings where their top officials planned their response to the gathering crisis (these are known as Federal Open Market Committee meetings, or FOMC).

Is The Federal Reserve Coming Clean?
April 16, 2012

As I told you on Friday, the Huffington Post and the Dylan Ratigan Show got some significant internal documents from the Federal Reserve. We'll be releasing them at 4pm on my show, on the Huffington Post, and at DylanRatigan.com.


Dylan Ratigan is the host of msnbc's The Dylan Ratigan Show, an independently minded,
"make vs. take", analysis-fueled news program that fearlessly tackles the world of politics, money, and the unholy alliance between big business and government. Ratigan also hosts the insightful and provocative podcast, Greedy Bastards Antidote. His new book, Greedy Bastards, is out in bookstores now.
