Whisper of Reason"Mexico’s government is lying about the origins of a massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
On Monday, Greenpeace Mexico, the Mexican Alliance Against Fracking and the Mexican Center for Environmental Rights presented satellite images they captured. The images show that the root of the spill was actually a pipeline from Mexico’s state-run oil company, Pemex, and that a large oil slick appeared in early February."

Environmentalists say Mexico lied about origins of Gulf oil spill
Environmentalist groups say Mexico’s government lied about the origins of a massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, accusations authorities promptly denied. The spill of off the coast of the southern Veracruz state has spread more than 373 miles and into seven nature reserves. The government said the spill started in March and the sources were a ship anchored off the coastal state of Veracruz and two sites from which oil naturally flows. A group of 17 organizations contradicted that claim and said on Monday that satellite images they captured show the root of the spill was actually a pipeline from Mexico’s state-run oil company, PEMEX, and that a large oil slick appeared in early February.
