Just like I've been warning for years now

Some things are hard to believe even when there's proof of them. Even I had a hard time believing it, and I had the best proof of all.
There are other things which are very difficult to believe. Such is the case with the massive release of the chemical dispersant, Corexit, into our Gulf waters, which will poison life near and far.
Disregarding the very real possibility of the Gulf well blowout being an act of corporate sabotage, for whatever insane reasons, the subsequent crimes committed by federal regulators and BP (British Petroleum) executives, immediately following the oil rig's explosion, are utterly provable, even if unbelievable.
Hundreds of thousands of gallons of the deadly neuro-toxic pesticide Corexit 9500 (and other variants) were immediately dumped at the subsea well head and in surface waters, above. This act of environmental sabotage was approved by federal government officials, who are very well paid to protect our environment and human life, rather than destroy them both.
In a New York Times article it states, “… Corexit 9500 and 9527 - more than 1.1 million gallons of which has been sprayed in [to the] Gulf since the disaster began.”
So quick to dump over a million gallons of Corexit, BP must have expected a blow-out. Otherwise, how did over a million gallons of Corexit just happen to be available for the Gulf of Mexico?
Can we even visualize a million gallons of anything? Think about how many months it would take anyone to manufacture a million gallons of chemical dispersants, especially something as lethal as Corexit 9500 or 9527.
Corexit kills all life from the bottom of life's chain to the top; it kills everything from microorganisms and algae to human beings.
Years ago, even Exxon put out a report outlining the lethal dangers of Corexit entitled, “Acute Aquatic Toxicity of Three Corexit Products: An Overview.”
Moreover, Corexit creates monstrous undersea plumes, that are hundreds of square miles large that go unseen by the naked eyes of the world.
This is death to the fragile Gulf Coast ecosystems of plant, animal, and marine life, both in the ocean and in saltwater marshes, as Corexit plumes slip under and over protective booms.
Some studies indicate that Corexit is four times more toxic than crude oil, as Corexit contains cyanide, arsenic, mercury, cadmium, chromium, and other toxic chemicals.
But when Corexit is combined with crude oil its toxicity shoots through the roof. Quoting Pulitzer-prize winning science writer Dehorah Blum, “BP's chosen dispersant, Corexit, rather alarmingly increases the toxicity of crude oil. For instance, Corexit alone has a LC 50 for silver fish of 25.2 parts-per-million. But the EPA's dispersant data shows that Corexit plus fuel oil has an LC50 of 2.61 ppm, almost ten times as toxic.”

This is death that can never be cleaned up from beneath the sea or from shorelines, without creating greater disasters.
What kind of psychopaths would even think of manufacturing something like Corexit, much less put over a million gallons of it into our pristine coastal waters?

If, however, the heated vapors from this lethal mixture get into the Jet Stream, in the upper reaches of our troposphere, and then fall as rain or snow, the dire results on all life in the entire United States, east of the Rockies, is almost impossible to calculate. Such toxic precipitation could destroy every living plant it touches, not to mention the human lives it could take.

Excellent post, Marcel. Thank you. I will post a link to your blog on my article.
