This week the media reported seeing dolphins swimming in oil-filled water. This is a beautiful video reminding us of the peace and love of life that is present in the life in the seas.

“Join people from all around the world, consciously igniting a new global vision for clean, clear, peaceful waters with whales, dolphins and all vital marine life swimming free. This is the mission of Peace in the Water (http://peaceinthewater.com). Welcome to the pod.”

The video is not directly related to the tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico (but might be inspired by it) and comes from the new  Peace in the Water website.  Check it out.

At least the corporate media is finally reporting on the oil leak every day, and wondering, at this late date, where is the all-out effort to stop the oil volcano a mile under the surface.  There should have been a demand by the public and the U.S. government for an immediate solution to this on-going leak the first week it happened.  BP is clearly clueless, experimenting with ideas as it goes, and the U.S. government is claiming to be doing all it can. That can’t possibly be the case. Even Iran has offered to help deal with the leaking oil, and has in fact offered twice, and the U.S. government, which is “doing all it can” has not even answered their offer.

“Mehran Alinejad, the director of drilling operations at the National Iranian Drilling Co., said Iranian companies had experience controlling vast oil spills in the region. He told the official Islamic Republic News Agency that technical teams in Iran had “major achievements in oil well capping.”

“There is, at any rate, an ecological disaster in the Gulf of Mexico and its negative consequences will affect everyone,” he added. “That is why if we receive a suitable response from relevant (U.S.) officials we can examine the issue and contribute to its resolution.”

NIDC officials said in early May that Iran was ready to overlook the U.S. push for new sanctions at the U.N. Security Council as there is an urgent need for action in the southern coastal regions.”

Can our government find a way to accept their offer?

I wouldn’t count on it. Everything is about politics and posturing these days. Meanwhile, today it was confirmed that oil super tankers are sitting, full of oil and therefore unable to help, while they wait for the market to increase the price of oil to maximize profits for someone, somewhere, who doesn’t care if the ocean waters off our coast are dead or alive.  This has now been going on for five weeks.
