Best-selling author Naomi Klien to The Nation. magazine’s reporter Jeremy Scahill:
“The whole Gulf Coast is a corporate oil state,” she told me. “It’s like BP broke it, so now they own the entire Gulf Coast.” She added: “We might accept the premise that BP is best positionioned to know how to fix the blow up at 5,000 feet, but that also seems to mean they think they should control media access and the entire clean up of a massive national emergency. BP is in charge of everything. We were on the water in open seas the day before the Wackenhut incident and a boat pulls up next to us and asked if we worked for BP and we said, “No,” and they said, ‘You can’t be here.'” It is completely sci-fi. It’s a corporate state.”
