“Griffin did as she was told: “I tried Pine-Sol, bleach, I even tried Dawn on those floors.” As she scrubbed, the mix of cleanser and gunk occasionally splashed onto her arms and face. Within days, the 32-year-old single mother was coughing up blood and suffering constant headaches. She lost her voice. “My throat felt like I’d swallowed razor blades,” she says. Then things got much worse.”

What BP Doesn’t Want You to Know About the 2010 Gulf Spill - Newsweek and The Daily Beast

The symptoms:

Like hundreds, possibly thousands, of workers on the cleanup, Griffin soon fell ill with a cluster of excruciating, bizarre, grotesque ailments. By July, unstoppable muscle spasms were twisting her hands into immovable claws. In August, she began losing her short-term memory. After cooking professionally for 10 years, she couldn’t remember the recipe for vegetable soup; one morning, she got in the car to go to work, only to discover she hadn’t put on pants. The right side, but only the right side, of her body “started acting ‘crazy’. It felt like the nerves were coming out of my skin. It was so painful. My right leg swelled—my ankle would get as wide as my calf—and my skin got incredibly itchy.”

“These are the same symptoms experienced by soldiers who returned from the Persian Gulf War with Gulf War syndrome,” says Dr. Michael Robichaux, a Louisiana physician and former state senator, who treated Griffin and 113 other patients with similar complaints.

“Geoffrey Fieger and the other top defense lawyers say the government’s case [against Dzokhar Tsarnaev] is fraught with weak spots that a sharp defense attorney could exploit, starting with the possibility the feds failed to immediately Mirandize Tsarnaev, which could leave a gaping hole a good lawyer could drive his case through. “This case is ripe for somebody who’s got the courage to stand up and talk about the system and the railroading of criminal defendants,” Fieger said. “[Dzokhar Tsarnaev] has been denied the right to a fair trial. And America [is] cheering like it was some kind of sporting event. That wasn’t a very flattering image to the rest of the world. Cheering like they won the World Series.”

There is a large disinformation campaign that is being perpetrated by the mainstream media and government regarding the Boston bombing. Take a look at this and then look into how Janet Napolitanos story keeps changing when she is questioned by certain members of Congress about this Saudi national that dropped out of the news once the brothers were implicated. I’m not a Beck fan but he apparently has evidence of a coverup and is urging the public to call their local Congressman to get some answers. Just ask yourself why Kerry would meet with the Saudi prime minister in a closed door meeting a day after the bombing and when initially reported that they had a Saudi suspect?
