BP Spill set up by government

As to whether the government is behind it? No, that implies a unified body. Individuals may have profited, but I don't think there was really a plan behind it. Is there any support for the claim?

Well, you see, I'm one of those that think that 9/11 was planned (a skyscraper is meant to fall backwards) and I believe the whole Saddam Hussein thing in the article (I deem it credible enough). And even though they lowered the supply of oil (from over six million to less than two million barrels) the prices have been skyrocketing over the past few years and in order to justify these prices they planned the BP spill. A lot of oil has gone to waste and thus the supply of oil has lowered, causing the oil prices to skyrocket even more. According to scientists, there's still enough oil to supply ourselves until ~2050. From now on prices will continue to rise as more oil is being consumed by the world. Keep in mind that if Saddam Hussein were still alive, he'd overflood the world with oil and I think a barrel would have been about 15$ right now. So in conclusion, I think the government did this so they could lay out their (long term) plan in order to optimize the profit they would gain from oil. They'd do this to pay their debts.

P.S. English is not my native language, so I may have made grammar errors. Forgive me.

There's no conspiracy about it, BP is a profit making company, that just doesn't give a fuck.

Nobody cares, that's what happened. And if they can profit from a heinous situation, then so be it, they've done a lot worse globally.
