What happened the next several years in the oil spill clean up is one if not the biggest cover ups and lies of our time. Just after the crude oil had spread through out Prince William Sound and the Kenai Peninsula Exxon decided the magnitude of the oil spill was just too big to use hot water spraying to dissipate the crude oil off the beaches so Exxon incorporated the use of chemicals to try and further clean the most beautiful place in North America, Prince William Sound. I was hired to transport the chemical "INIPOL" on a vessel so the beach workers could spray the crude oil in what Exxon believed would clean the beaches a lot faster and a lot better. 

Exxon bought the chemical "INIPOL" from a French company that had used the INIPOL on a spill years before in Europe. The MSDS (material safety data sheet) from the French company (which I obtained from undisclosed sources) said that the chemical "INIPOL" was a very hazardous to anyone or anything that came in contact with it without protection, the sheet went on to say that laboratory mice exposed to the chemical also came down with cancerous tumors. 

Now when Exxon bought the rights to "INIPOL" they wrote their own MSDS sheet that said that the chemical was not hazardous if you were exposed to it.  That is a lie and we the people that were in contact with "INIPOL" have since the beginning of the oil spill and the use of the chemicals have endured major medical problems, such as cancerous tumors, major blood clotting problems just to name a few and we have gone unheard of because nobody such as lawyers have enough gall to go up against the Exxon empire. 

I am a living example of what has happened, I had cancerous tumors removed from my stomach in 1994 and now I have major blood problems and am 100% disabled because of Exxon's lies. There are hundreds of us, possibly thousands that were exposed and now have major problems. All I want to do is bring light to this problem that Senators and Congress men and women including the EPA, OSHA ,and countless others I have told and written to over the years have ignored because no doubt Exxon has them in their pocket. 

I know first hand that there have been some deaths as well as deformed babies because Exxon covered up and still is ignoring that countless people whom worked to return Alaskan Beaches to their once pristine beauty after they caused one of the largest if not the largest oil spills in North American history and then lied about it.  

I feel some what responsible because the vessel I operated and Captained for Exxon supplied the deadly Chemical "INIPOL" and now there are a lot of sick people and I should have known better but I never got the real truth until it was too late. I thank you for reading this and I am telling you the truth , believe me I do not have anything to lose and if enough people know the truth then maybe in some weird way we can make big corporations like Exxon stand accountable for their lies. Thank You for your time .
