Police found today in two trucks abandoned 35 bodies in broad daylight on a street in Boca del Rio in the metropolitan area of ​​Veracruz on the Gulf of Mexico.

An official source told Efe that the victims are 23 men and twelve women, and the figure was also confirmed hours later by the prosecutor of Veracruz, Reynaldo Escobar.

Apparently they were members of drug cartel and the Zetas were allegedly killed by the rival Gulf, the source said but added that more research is needed even in the case.

According to initial investigations and witnesses, the place, an overpass, at 17.00 local time (22.00 GMT) arrived in four vehicles, two trucks, for which they got armed men stopped traffic.

Then, they opened the doors of the truck and threw some bodies on the floor.

The bodies showed signs of torture, were handcuffed and some had their heads covered with bags.

The prosecutor of Veracruz, Reynaldo Escobar, confirmed in a brief press conference the discovery of “several bodies,” but gave no death toll at that time. Even hours later, confirmed that the death toll is 35 and said investigators worked through the night.

He said, told the Televisa network after which the corpses were left with a blanket on which there was a message directed against Los Zetas and their “collaborators.”

Of the lifeless bodies into the early hours of the night had been identified, confirmed “that they all had criminal records and engaged in activities linked to organized crime such as kidnapping, extortion, murder and drug dealing, among other crimes” , the prosecutor said.

The discovery came a day after the escape of 32 prisoners in three prisons in Veracruz, which until Tuesday afternoon had been recaptured fourteen.

The prosecutor said that so far has not been ascertained whether the corpses are some of the inmates who escaped yesterday, a version that is being spread by unofficial sources.

The state of Veracruz is the scene of violent clashes between the cartels of Los Zetas, the Gulf and La Familia Michoacana.

Halliburton said BP provided inaccurate info before Halliburton effecting its cementing services the day before the disaster, consistent with the lawsuit, that was filed in Texas state court.

Halliburton said BP knew or ought to have known regarding a further hydrocarbon zone within the well which the British company did not tell Halliburton before it designed the cement program and then didn’t disclose it once the blowout.

“BP was solely to blame for identifying all hydrocarbon-bearing zones within the well and for identifying where the designed high of cement ought to be located so as to isolate all such zones,” Halliburton said within the lawsuit.

BP said it had been reviewing the lawsuit and thus couldn’t comment well, however it noted investigators had found multiple parties to blame for the accident, as well as Halliburton, which freelance investigations identified “serious problems” with the cementing of the well.

BP and Transocean Ltd , owner of the drilling rig that exploded and sank once the well blowout, are already locked during a legal battle over that company was at fault within the April 2010 disaster, that killed eleven staff and caused the worst offshore spill in U.S. history.

Halliburton, the world’s second-largest oilfield services supplier, said on Friday it had additionally moved to amend its claims against BP in separate litigation in New Orleans to incorporate fraud.

The Houston-based company said it had been absolutely indemnified beneath its contract with BP as a result of it had performed the cement work consistent with BP specifications.

In April, London-based BP sued Transocean, Halliburton and Cameron International . Cameron created the blowout preventer for the well, a so-called fail-safe device that did not automatically clean up the well.

Shares of BP and Haliburton were each down three p.c on Friday on the the big apple Stock Exchange. The S&P five hundred index was regarding a pair of p.c lower.

The case is Halliburton Energy Services Inc v. BP Exploration & Production Inc et al, No. 2011-52580 in Court 234 of the District Court of Harris County, Texas.

It means the destruction of the world, but must be understood as the closure of one era and the birth of a new one. Is a transition between ages. This transition in particular, however, promises to be for man, the most tumultuous and costly transition I’ve ever seen.

But do not wait until December 2012 to find the signs.

Here are some signs that the world as we know is falling apart at this time. In the future, we will look back and call all this a key moment in history, but as we live through it, seems to move at a pace almost a snail.

We are living through the first chapters of the end of the world as we know it, and on the other side of all this will emerge a new world that is very different from what we know today.

Here are some signs:

        Tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes and tsunamis

At first it seemed a stroke of luck, but now is a pattern. The weather is becoming more extreme. More than 120 tornadoes hit the Midwest recently the U.S., Mexico is on fire and suffering through a severe drought.
And where there are fires and droughts, floods. This is just the beginning in the most extreme weather watch for the next 18 months.

        The Silence of the Bees

Bee colonies continue to accelerate its collapse in North America. We know that this is being caused in part by chemical pesticides, but the chemical industry is devoted to a complete cover-up to deny this truth, whereas the pollinators of our world are suffering a devastating collapse of the population.

           The failure of nuclear science

The catastrophe in Fukushima, Japan proves one thing: Scientists are dangerously arrogant in their planning of large-scale projects do not take into account the awesome power of Mother Nature. Nuclear science has promised clean, green energy, but we have been given a poison silent, invisible, which infects our world.

The vicious persecution of Wikileaks

In an era of total deception, no room for truth. So those who tell the truth (WikiLeaks) are brutally persecuted as criminals.

The increasing frequency of food shortages and crop failures

Have you noticed the increase in food prices? This is just the beginning: the food prices continue to soar in coming years due to extreme weather, loss of pollinators and global contamination of crops with industrial waste.

Real food is becoming scarce in our world. It is best to think about starting a garden in our house …

The destruction of our world by the power companies

Fukushima fallout is not the only way in which energy companies are destroying our world: Do not forget the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, a spill that has not ended, indeed.

        Corexit still spraying in the Gulf of Mexico, one year later!

        Contamination from genetically modified organisms on our planet:

This may be the worst chapter in the collapse to come: The widespread genetic contamination of our planet through GMOs. This is a crime against nature and against humanity.

This is a spillover of genes “that can not be contained as it spreads through the DNA of food crops in the world, resulting in poor harvests and consequently world hunger. The use of GMOs is the closest thing to ‘evil’ that we find in modern agriculture.

        The scale of counterfeiting in the money supply:

In a failed economic system takes advantage of the collapse, inept leaders only think of “solutions” that actually accelerate their own downfall.

The counterfeiting of money out of control by the Federal Reserve from different countries (with its “quantitative easing” and other methods of counterfeiting) is a classic sign that the end of our current system is quickly approaching. Economic follies are evident to anyone who can still do math.

The fall of the intelligence of the masses:

One of the most disturbing signs that we are in the collapse is made for zombies television that dominates our landscape offering absolutely nothing of value to the world.

The complete and utter fabrication of the major news
Much of the mainstream media is totally and completely made of these days: The information in the news about the war, coverage of the economy, the hunting of most wanted terrorists is all so absolutely true that an intelligent person not watching the news can fail to explode with laughter.

It is a sign of the collapse that the sources of information relied on by the masses are unable to report the truth and has to resort to weave fiction around politically expedient.

        The ongoing pollution of our world pharmaceutical:

Beyond GMO contamination and radiation pollution of our world, we are also experiencing massive pharmaceutical pollution of our planet.

It is not just pharmaceutical factories that dump their products into rivers, is also the fact that more than half of the population is taking medication almost daily, and drugs pass through their bodies and end up in the supply water, where they contaminate the food we eat from the sea.

  Radioactive contamination of global food supply:

Here’s one that is more insidious: The world’s food supply is contaminated with radioactive rainfall from the Fukushima nuclear disaster. We are told that the levels are “low” but not telling the truth

December 2012, a date can be useful as a sort of middle of the crisis, or perhaps as a due date of a certain acceleration faster unraveling of society.

But make no mistake: We’re living in the collapse of our modern world. And we have a front row seat! Exciting?

Consider what is happening around us these days. These are the most heartbreaking signs of the last desperate civilization built on totally unsustainable practices by not valuing the lives of our world.

These are the days of the end of the business oligarchy, monopoly machine-profit corporation that destroyed everything in our world in exchange for slight gains in a quarterly report.

In search of more money, mankind has slaughtered their food supply, their pollinators, oceans, forests and soils.

Human greed driven by unscrupulous people who have used others as fodder for medical experiments. We have created wars to sell more pumps, and I have introduced the disease to sell psychiatric chemicals.

These are the practices of a failed civilization … and whose days are numbered.

The Mississippi River flood waters entered on Wednesday in some of the poorest areas of the nation and flooded low of Memphis neighborhoods, but the containment barriers largely protected from the rest.

However, the worst has not arrived yet. Water is expected to continue rising for several days. Memphis Damage is estimated at more than $ 320 million but no official figure until waters recede.

There were no estimates of the devastation in the American South, but there are hundreds of houses damaged and water was expected to “reach levels never seen before,” said Greg Flynn, a spokesman for the emergency management agency in Mississippi.

In Vicksburg, it was estimated that the river will reach its peak on Saturday to beat the record of the Great Flood of 1927.

The largest river in North America in 1927 caused what happened to American history as the ‘Great Flood’ in 1937 and reached its peak of 14.85 meters, has caused the overflow of hundreds of rivers and tributaries from Arkansas to Illinois.

The Army Corps of Engineers, which maintains and operates the vast system of dams, sluices and embankments from the 1930 floods helps contain.

Tuesday in Memphis, in the southern state of Tennessee, the peak was 14.56 meters to pass the flood.

For its part, the governor of Louisiana, Bobby Jindal, ordered the mobilization of 500 National Guard troops in the latter state, where the emergency has been declared in 21 districts, and indicated that the waters would cover some 1.2 million hectares.

The Army Corps of Engineers, which maintains and operates the vast system of dams, sluices and embankments from the 1930 floods helps contain the fourth largest river in the world, opened on Tuesday another 44 gates to the drain of Bonnet .

This operation diverts millions of gallons of water into Lake Pontchartrain, north of New Orleans, and thence to the Gulf of Mexico, easing pressure on the levees and canals of this city built on a lower level than Lake .

In the State of Arkansas the state Department of Agriculture estimated that floods have caused damages worth $ 500 million and more than 450, 000 hectares of farmland have been flooded.

BP alleges that he accepted his “unduly” pressure tests conducted in wells, but stresses that the group has made the same negligence Transocean.

“Many companies and work teams” have contributed to the explosion on April 20 Deepwater Horizon Oil Platform, which caused an environmental disaster, according to British Petroleum survey findings, reports BBC News Online.

The blast killed 11 people and drain millions of barrels of oil in the Gulf of Mexico over a period of 87 days.

BP investigators have found evidence of “potential weaknesses in the testing regime and system of managing the maintenance,” the report quoted Tuesday.

“The team has not identified a single action or inaction would have caused the accident,” the report said. ”Rather it is a complex series of mechanical failures, human error, design engineering, operational implementation.

A report released Tuesday said that he found a decline in oxygen levels in the Gulf, but not “dead zones.”

BP company has avoided evoking errors could be more accurately attributed to him. She alleges that he accepted “incorrectly” pressure tests conducted in wells, but stresses that the group has made the same negligence Transocean.

BP has accused U.S. oil services company Halliburton, which participated in the initial cementing wells, which proved defective.

U.S. President Barack Obama said that the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico will have a decisive impact on how they will be looked at environmental issues in the United States.

In an interview with website Politico, Obama said that “the disaster will shape our environmental strategy for the coming years.” Tonight, Obama will visit the area affected by the huge oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Most heavily affected area is composed of the territories Louisiana, Alabama,Mississippi and Florida. British Petroleum, the company responsible for oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico , manages to draw from the waters of the Atlantic, on average, 15,000 barrels of crude per day. Today, the Obama administration decided that BP is forced to raise this amount of oil recovered to 50,000 barrels per day.

Otherwise the energy business

“I think this disaster will change the way we think about environmental issues and energy in the same way that the events of September 11 have changed our attitude about the vulnerabilities of security and foreign policy, “said Barack Obama .

“It is time that we could make a change (no in the economy from one based on oil to one that uses” new energy “) and invest in new ways of doing business when it comes to energy” , added Obama.

On 20 April, 11 people died in the explosion at the Deepwater Horizon platform, 80 miles off the coast of Louisiana. Oil spills have caused an ecological disaster, irreversibly damaging the ecosystem. Thousands of ships taking part in cleaning operations.

Spanish Moss hanging on a fallen limb.

Take a drive through any forest or tree lined lane in the southeastern United States, and you will see Spanish Moss draped on the oak trees.

Spanish Moss (tillandsia usneoides) is a flowering herb plant that grows on host trees in the hot humid areas of the United States. It seems to favor large trees such as the Southern Live Oak and Bald Cypress.

Known as an epiphyte or air plant, Spanish Moss has no aerial roots and tiny inconspicuous flowers. It is well recognized by its curly heavily scaled leaves that grow in a chain like fashion to form large hanging masses.

While rarely causing harm to the host tree by stealing its nutrients, it can harm the tree by blocking sunlight or weakening the branches with its weight. This can cause damage to homes, property or people, if the branches break especially during hurricane season.

Another problem with Spanish Moss is the creatures who make a home within its tangled grey depths. It is a popular habitat for birds, bats, warbles, reptiles, redbugs, chiggers, rat snakes and one species of jumping spider. Care must be taken when removing Spanish Moss as the bug population can cause itching or a rash to exposed skin.

Now that we have discussed the scientific aspects of Spanish Moss, let’s delve into the more romanticized local legends that have been told for generations about the origins of this unique plant.

The story told in South Carolina goes like this: In 1700 a traveler came to Charleston with his Spanish fiancée to build a fine plantation. While walking over the site of their new home and making plans for the future, they were attacked by a band of Cherokee and killed. As a warning to stay away from the Cherokee Nation, they cut off the long raven locks of the doomed fiancée, and hung them in the branches of an oak tree.  The hair shriveled and turned grey and begin spreading from tree to tree. Soon it spread from the Carolinas to Florida and Georgia. A testimonial to the direr warnings of the Cherokee Nation to stay off the land of their forefathers.

In Louisiana this is the tale of the Spanish Moss: An Indian brave of the Choctaw Clan lived on the banks of the bayou with his beautiful, and much loved wife. His wife died in childbirth with the couple’s first child. The grieving husband buried his wife and child, at the base of a huge oak tree, and hung her long midnight braids on a tree limb to mark the gravesite. In time, the braids turned grey and hung down from the branches like flowing teardrops. Soon the winds carried the weeping strands from tree to tree until they covered all the villages along the Gulf of Mexico. And the tree hair or Itla-okla, as it is known in the Choctaw Indian language still weeps to this day for a grieving husband and father.

In Florida this is how the legend goes: In the early days of Florida’s history, when the Spanish ruled the Gulf of Mexico, a villain named Gorez Goz fled Spain for the panhandle. Finding little more than a rough village under Spanish rule, Goz set about making his mark. While his heart was hard and cruel, it was touched by love for a beautiful Indian maid. He bargained with her father, and bought her for his bride with a yard of braid and a bar of soap. The Indian maid was afraid of her new husband-to-be and fled from his sight. Finding the object of his affection had taken flight, he gave chase. The young Indian lass was so bent on being free of the Spaniard, she climbed on the slender branch of an oak tree and dove into a lake. Hell bent on catching his prize, Goz climbed out on the limb after her, and caught his long grey whiskers in the branches. His fight to free himself ended with his own beard choking him to death. The Indian maiden was free and the whiskers left in the limbs as a warning to other Spanish crooks. Soon the whiskers began to spread from tree to tree and were called Spanish Moss.

Many people condemn environmental groups because of their goals and what they stand for. Environmentalists’ goals are not bad; environmentalism becomes a problem when their actions become extreme affecting human rights. Natural resources such as timber, water, oil, and many others provide an estimated 33 trillion dollars a year in revenue each year (Walsh).  Those resources should be taken care of and managed well, but the environmental groups have gone too far. When environmentalism infringes upon people’s rights in order to save a species, or when organizations spend millions to save turtle eggs while 50 million babies are aborted, something has to change. 

One of the most well-known environmental groups, the Sierra Club, founded by John Muir, paved the way for the birth of others environmental groups. Help for many of their causes came in the form of a book, Silent Spring, by Rachel Carson which people call a “…researched, carefully reasoned, and beautifully written book.”  She wrote that pesticides used by farmers threatened bird species and harmed consumers. Carson’s thoughts and topics opened American’s eyes to the importance of conserving nature (Black). Now there are too many organizations to count whose mission is to save a certain species or prevent pollution; organizations such as the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), the WDCA (Whale and Dolphin Conservatory Society), the Sierra Club, and others. Though many of these groups mean well, they have taken their beliefs to the extreme.

EPA stands alone as the most proactive environmental group. As a federal agency, Congress passes “acts” that the EPA regulates and enforces; acts such as the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act which control water and air pollution. Much of what the EPA has helped pass does improve the environment, but some laws hinder everyday life. One place the negative effect of the EPA can be seen happened in Washington State and Oregon. After the sighting of the endangered Northern Spotted Owl in 1992, the Endangered Species Act restricted the timbering of many forests in Oregon and Washington which resulted in an estimated 10,000 jobs lost in Oregon, and in an estimated 28,000 jobs lost in Washington (Andre and Velasquez, Cooper).

Furthermore, the Deep Water Horizon’s oil spill remains the most recent and worst oil spill ever. Their well, 5,000 feet under water, exploded releasing over 5 million barrels of oil spilling into the Gulf of Mexico (GOS). Oil washed up onto beaches, harmed birds, and affected fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. No doubt, this disaster could have been prevented if Deep Water had followed the proper regulations. However, important facts never surfaced in the media such as regulation that prevent drilling in shallow waters. This regulation contributed to the lengthy repair, making it impossible for worker to physically repair the leak, at a depth of 5,000 feet, without using fine tuned robots. If the depth of the well had not been required to be so deep, repairs would have gone much faster and less oil would have leaked out.

Over the past several years environmental groups have pushed for cleaner emissions and stricter green house gas regulations, with Congress and the EPA at the forefront of the changes.  Many states sued EPA claiming that they outsourced their research to scandal filled organizations (Gardner& Abbot). Since Global Warming’s reliability took a turn for the worse last year when false data and corrupt researchers were exposed, people across America have started to question the true affect of green house gas emissions on the earth.

Environmentalism has taken hold of today’s society and has become one of the “most important issues.” People, private organizations, and even the government pour millions of dollars each year into forest and animal conservation, the Endangered Species Act, and other programs. Many more things in today’s society have become regulated due to the improvement of the environment, making it harder for car companies to make cars, making it hard for waste disposal, and new sources of energy to be used. Much of what environmentalists do for the environment is good, but the extent that they have taken to protect animals and natural resources has become a real problem for many hard working Americans.
