Dept of Homeland Security Declares Oil Spill Is Of 'National Significance'~That means that for this #oilspill Homeland Security is In Charge and new laws are in effect. http://bit.ly/bY0ae6 http://bit.ly/buj0Iy http://bit.ly/drImMQ
This also means that the neither the Press nor anyone else will be allowed to Fly Over the Oil Spill as all airspace has been restricted. Press will Only be Embedded with Appropriate Personnel or briefed by Press Conference.
(This was employed in Galveston immediately after hurricane Ike. Much to the chagrin of the local News).
We are in contact with one Journalist, Georgianne Nienaber, who found the Yellow Line, pictured above, to Not Cross and Not Sign-In at the "Designated" "Staging Area" where they sent her --where nothing seems to be happening. She has sent us an example of just how Tight the Press for this is going to get:
Unified Command releases video, photos of oil spill response operations
--and yes, as you can see from their Logo Product Placements, the US Government is now Advertising and doing Public Relations for BP and Transocean
. Unified Command to conduct Deepwater Horizon incident joint press conference @ 3pm CST

~Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser, whose parish is especially vulnerable, said a wind shift could send the oil ashore. He complained about a lack of information coming to local governments. “We need to look at the worst case scenario,” he said. “Will that oil reach here? If so, we need to put a line in the sand. We haven’t been able to get an answer on what is the worst case scenario. We’ve got to make sure we don’t wait for the wind to bring that oil toward us and then we’re trying to mop it off the shores.” In St. Bernard Parish, which also has a vulnerable coastline on the Gulf of Mexico, an estimated 120 fishermen gathered at a 9 a.m. meeting and Parish President Taffaro said he had in excess of 200 offers of help.
