The New York Times, in its front page review of "The Big Fix"that opened in New York Friday, honed into the film's documented and damning evidence that Gulf people and their waters, air and food are still being carpet-bombed with Corexit, although government reported discontinuing the poisonous gassing of the area following the April 2010 'BP oil spill. ' To date, aside from "The Big Fix" and a handful of of related major human rights defenders, most of whom are in the film, there is no "Gulf Truth" movement, despite the Gulf ecocide being the nation's biggest media and government cover-up to date in terms of direct injuries, death and dying plus environmental destruction.
In its front page Friday review of this year's most controversial film, "The Big Fix," that rocked Los Angeles last month just as new waves of oil washed ashore Gulf beaches, the New York Times highlighted that the dispersant Corexit is still being applied, oil is still leaking (from the uncapped well), and local Gulf Coast people are still suffering in silence from ill health according to interviews in the movie and undercover filming by the movie director, Josh Tickell and co-director, Rebecca Tickell.
"The most serious of the film’s assertions is that BP usedtremendous amounts of Corexit, an oil dispersant whose toxic effects on the environment and on human health are as bad, or worse, than exposure to oil," stated the New York Times.
As Dupré reported in her Examiner article over a year ago, and in her interview last week by New Zealand's show hostVinny Eastwood's Guerilla News Republic Broadcast Radiointerview, adding the pesticide Corexit (banned in many countries) to the already lethal crude oil made the oil eleven times more deadly. (See: "Scientists find Corexit made BP Gulf catastrophe worse is not news")
Even tiny amounts of the oil-Corexit witches brew are poisonous.
Nathan FreeSoul Finn, an ExaminerCommenter wrote beneath one of Deborah Dupré's articles about Corexit:
"This is comparable to me spilling a cup of coffee on my car seat and pissing all over it in hopes that it will take the stain out... And wouldn't you know it, BP bought the company that does the clean up 3 months before this disaster... If that doesn't scream inside job, I don't know what does!"
"Even after BP agreed to stop using Corexit, the movie insists, it has secretly continued to do so," the New York Times reported...
