The oil is still there, sitting at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico and causing damage to the environment, a Florida State University professor who studies greenhouse gases, oceans and energy said Tuesday.

Professor Jeff Chanton… said he thinks most of that Deepwater Horizon oil — as much as 70 percent to 79 percent of it —sank to the ocean floor, where it remains, sucking up oxygen and inhibiting life.

He and his colleagues are working to determine how that layer of sludge might affect the Gulf and how long it might take for the ecosystem to recover.

Thousands of People Along the Gulf Coast Suffer ‘BP Crud’

ORANGE BEACH, Ala. — Wherever disaster strikes, there’s always an associated crud.

There was the Exxon Valdez Crud. The Nine Eleven Crud. The Katrina Cough, and then the TVA coal ash cough.

Now, along the entire coast of the Gulf of Mexico, there is the BP Crud, afflicting workers and the general population from Louisiana to Florida.

When the Deepwater Horizon oil rig blew up in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20, Robin Young, a 47-year-old director of guest services for a property management company in Orange Beach, Alabama, was gearing up for what promised to be the best tourist season on the coast in years. From the city of New Orleans to the Florida panhandle, communities were finally starting to feel like they were recovering from the devastation left in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Ivan.

Since suffering a debilitating bout of what locals are calling the “BP Crud,” however, like thousands of other people along the coast due to their exposure to the oil and chemical dispersants, she is now part of a growing community of activists along the coast who are worried about their health.

Just a few days after BP’s oil made landfall along the Alabama Gulf Coast in June, Ms. Young’s symptoms started with “a fiery, burning sore throat,” she said. Then came the horrible, constant cough, followed by an achy feeling much like a severe flu virus — and a lethargy that kept her in bed for two weeks solid. Her memory started playing tricks on her, and her motor skills and even hand-to-eye coordination went south.

She started communicating with other sick folks over the Internet, and attending local meetings with corporate and government officials. At one meeting early on, she asked for a show of hands in a room of maybe 400 people to see how many had suffered symptoms similar to hers.

“Half the people in the room raised their hands,” she said in an interview at her cottage right next to the Intercoastal Waterway, which was polluted with oil and chemicals at the height of the disaster. Clearly, this was not some isolated event unrelated to the oil rig blowout.

Her new friends, who soon started a nonprofit group called Guardians of the Gulf, tried to find a local doctor to help them. After having no luck, they eventually found an out of state toxicologist and a doctor who knew enough about a new area of occupational and environmental health to order blood tests.

They found Dr. Michael R. Harbut, a clinical professor of Internal Medicine and director of the Environmental Cancer Program at Wayne State University’s Karmanos Cancer Institute, board certified in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. And they found Metametrix, a lab to test their blood.

What they found in the blood tests was a stew of toxic chemicals directly associated with oil and gas production and the chemical dispersant Corexit, including ethylbenzene, xylenehigh and high levels of hexane, a hydrocarbon chiefly obtained by the refining of crude oil.

The long-term toxicity of hexane in humans is extensive peripheral nervous system failure. The initial symptoms are tingling and cramps in the arms and legs, followed by general muscular weakness. In severe cases, skeletal muscles atrophy and those exposed suffer a loss of coordination and vision problems, the very symptoms Ms. Young reported.

Town officials and even local doctors have tried to silence her and others who raise the health issue, worried that if news got out, it could hurt the local economy even more. But a group of local pharmacists started keeping diaries of people coming in with similar symptoms.

“There’s a core group of them that finally said, ‘Holy Cow,’ something’s going on,” she said. “They started listening to what we were saying. But we still couldn’t get a lot of help. We couldn’t get help from the local doctors because they didn’t know what to do.”

Early on, Ms. Young invited a crew from Bio-Cascade, air-pollution specialists out of New Jersey and Boston, to come down and test the air. She put them up in a house right on the beach.

On the third day John Vallier of Bio-Cascade woke up with a sore throat. He put the air monitoring machine on the deck and within 15 minutes it showed 110 parts per million of Volatile Organic Compounds in the air. The crew quickly packed and said they would help from outside the vicinity of the bad air coming off the Gulf. It was striking how scared they were and how fast they got out of town, Ms. Young said, while EPA was downplaying the threat coming from its own air monitoring stations.

Another member of her group who suffered similar symptoms but does not want to be identified by name called the local schools and confirmed that there were an unusual number of children out sick with what was diagnosed as “strep throat” and a “stomach virus,” at the end of summer and long before flu season is supposed to start.

Another woman, Robyn Hill of Foley, actually passed out while working for a BP contractor cleaning up the beach. When she was taken to the hospital by ambulance, the doctor tried to make her sign a form saying she suffered a heat stroke. She refused, and has now joined the cause to save the Gulf.

“It really fired us up,” Ms Young said.

So they found a chemist in Mobile to test the water, Bob Naman, an analytical chemist with nearly thirty years of experience. They have tracked the oil, natural gas and Corexit. One sample right off Dauphin Island was so full of methane that itblew up in the lab’s test tube.

Meanwhile, Ms. Young and her friends are now being told they need a high resolution scan of their lungs, brain, liver and kidneys.

“They’ve also told us that in five to 10 years — they don’t have a time frame, they’re just guessing,” she said, “that we could come down with some godawful form of cancer.”

That’s exactly what happened in the area around Prince Williams Sound, Alaska, after the Exxon Valdez ran aground in the spring of 1989 and leaked about 11 million gallons of crude into the water, according to Dr. Riki Ott, a recognized expert with a Ph.D. in marine toxicology and a specialty in oil pollution.

Dr. Ott’s information is so sought after in four of the five Gulf states most affected by the largest and worst environmental disaster in U.S. history that she has practically moved to the Gulf Coast. I finally caught up with her in a hotel room on my iPhone from Gulf Shores.

After spending the past four months working to try to get a handle on the scope of the problem, and getting sick herself, she has heard similar stories first-hand now from people ranging from Terrebonne Parish Louisiana to Apalachicola Florida.

“What struck me when I first started hearing these stories was how similar the symptoms were to what happened after the Exxon Valdez oil spill,” she said.

The human health effects of that spill were mostly confined to sick workers, she indicated, because that area of Alaska is not heavily populated like the Gulf Coast.

“I expected the vessel of opportunity workers to get sick because they were given hard hats instead of respirators just like our guys were. So it really didn’t surprise me in early May when I heard pretty much identical health symptoms,” she said. Dizziness, sore throat, headache, nausea, burning eyes, and eventually skin rashes resistant to treatment with antibiotics.

“What convinced me that we may have a really big problem here,” she said, is when she heard similar stories at community forums from people not working directly in the oil and chemical tainted water, marshes and sand, and when she talked to pharmacists who reported seeing a huge increase in respiratory illnesses and bad skin rashes.

“Now that the children are back in school, there’s a series of ’strep throat,” she said. “It’s the same symptoms, the blisters in the throat, the rashes I’d heard about all summer.”

There is a new area of occupational and environmental medicine covering chemical related illnesses, and the symptoms literally mimic flu-like symptoms. Dr. Ott is launching a Gulf-wide health survey along with coastal non-profit groups including the Louisiana Bayoukeeper and Ultimate Civics, a project of Earth Island Institute. The groups are also holding community health forums and opening health centers to try to get a handle on the scope of the problem.

But there are serious gaps in the law that allows workers to be exempted from coverage by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and even under the existing workers compensation regime. Under the U.S. Department of Labor, OSHA does not recognize chemical illnesses, Dr. Ott said, although it is recognized under the American Disabilities Act.

“We’ve got a safety net with two big holes in it, and the workers are falling through those holes. It’s time to close those holes, and not only for the workers, but for the public,” she said. “What’s going on in the Gulf is to pretend that we can have this release of 200 million plus gallons of oil, 2 million plus gallons of toxic chemicals, and it’s not going to have any effect? In a highly populated area? I mean, come on!”

From The Gulf Stream To The Bloodstream - The Video BP Doesn't Want You to See! 

Sun, 05 Sep 2010 22:42 CDT                                                                                                                                                                              Sun, 05 Sep 

Several volatile hydrocarbons found in crude oil were detected in the blood of several residents from the Orange Beach, AL area. Among the hydrocarbons tested, several were detected at abnormally high levels including ethylbenzene, xylene, hexane. These individuals were not directly involved in BP's clean-up operations, nor had they been exposed to any industrial environment where the presence of these compounds would be of concern. Therefore, it can be assumed that residents living near the Gulf of Mexico shoreline are at risk of exposure to aerosolized VOC's moving inland from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

 This was on a website and written by Bob...Thank you! May the truth be heard!!!!

I live on the new madrid fault. And I can tell you this.

The surface rupture of the roads and highways is out of control.

Also, everyday of the week the structure of my moms home is "cracking" and shifting. You can hear the walls and the surface crack.

Nearby is a dollar general store. In that parking lot there are 3 flagpoles that "vibrate" violently. (not shaking from wind) Each and everyday, the roads "blow" up potholes. U.S. 41 is ruptured severely.

Interstate 65 is also badly damaged. They keep trying to repave them but it doesn't work.

The cline ave bridge at points is closing.

This bridge and off ramps leads right into Inland steel and LTV steel and BP amoco.

So far, I believe 5-7 bridges have been shut down or are scheduled for closing because they are unsafe.

I monitor the earthquakes daily. And as you know there are far too many happening too quickly.

I believe the general public has been misled. In my opinion, the 2012 shift is happening now, but everyone has been conditioned to believe that they still have time to prepare for the main event.

Thats b.s. It doesn't happen all at once.

In Momence Illinois, some of the buildings are beginning to "sink".

In cedar lake Indiana, the same is happening.

The bottom line is this; Buildings are cracking, parking lots can't be fixed, roads and bridges are closing every week, sidewalks are sinking and sinkholes are opening everywhere. At time day or night, you can literally feel the earth "vibrate" below your feet.

I'm in Northwest Indiana, and I believe we are about to get hit with a earthquake of biblical proportions. We are surrounded by propane, natural gas and bp amoco refineries.

And, Im more than concerned what will happen when the new madrid erupts.

Richand Hoagland

 In the first half of the program, George Noory was joined by Richard C. Hoagland for a discussion on the potential catastrophic dangers that could result from the accumulation of methane in the Gulf. He pointed to evidence which suggests that a massive bulge of methane is forming beneath the ocean floor. Should it suddenly burst, Hoagland warned, the methane would reduce the buoyancy of the water, causing large ships in the area to "sink like a rock," killing thousands of people instantly. Subsequently, the collapse of the bulge would cause water to fill the hole and create a tsunami that would hit anyone within a mile or two of the Gulf within minutes. In light of this theory, he posited that the lack of action coming from Washington is because they know of this potential danger and are trying to protect people by not filling the Gulf with boats as part of a clean-up effort.

BP Gulf Oil Spill's Walking Dead

(CHICAGO) - A biochemical bomb went off in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20, 2010--as dangerous and destructive as a nuclear blast.

While an atom bomb’s destruction can be measured immediately after detonation, BP’s unintentional biochemical bomb is a slow-motion explosion that's driving a continuing disaster. Unfortunately, lingering death occurs with both types of explosions.

Millions exposed to uncontrolled hemorrhaging, lesions, cancers

Recently, frustrated scientists presented evidence that millions of Gulf area residents were poisoned by the BP Gulf disaster. Worse, they believe that millions more could be exposed to long term poisoning.

Yet other than those worried scientists few seemed to care.

Now more frightening evidence has emerged: areas of the Gulf Coast may have been saturated with high levels of benzene, hydrogen sulfide and radioactive hydrocarbon effluents--three deadly substances that can cause disease and death years after the initial exposures.

[Full report available here.]

The EPA and the ongoing news blackout

The curtain of silence that dropped just days after the Deepwater Horizon blowout has never been fully lifted. At the time, a no-man's land was created prohibiting fishermen, reporters, news helicopters and civilian sea and air craft from approaching the immediate disaster zone. The US Coast Guard and BP conducted joint operations feverishly attempting to quell the spreading disaster.

Reporters were threatened with arrest. News stories were yanked. Scientific reports buried. And data from the NOAA research vessel--initially sent to the region to take readings of the seafloor--was suppressed.

Yet some information leaked.

Beyond the oil gushing into the Gulf at a rate never before seen, deadly methane gas flooded the region. The methane reached such high levels of density in the Gulf that brilliant scientists like Dr. John Kessler of Texas A&M recorded stunning readings of methane--amounts one million times higher than normal. His reports managed to reach the media.

Although access to the forbidden zone has been restored, a partial news blackout remains in place blocking public access to the data that measured toxicity in the Gulf waters and Gulf states from April into August.

A conveyor belt of death: deep sea oil plume 22-miles long

Poisons flooded into the Gulf for three months. Unabated, these poisons have affected the ecology of the region. Now evidence is mounting that the delicate infrastructure of life inhabiting the Gulf continues to absorb much of the poison and is passing it on to unsuspecting humans. Reports that sea life in the Gulf have remained uncontaminated are being vigorously challenged.

And new reports are circulating the globe that the missing oil’s been found. A plume 22-miles long is suspended deep in the cold, dark waters of the Gulf. It’s not breaking up and it’s not being eaten by microbes.

It is, however, acting as a conveyor belt of death.

Cocktail of poisons

Some environmental experts are calling what’s pouring into the land, sea and air from the seabed breach ‘a chemical cocktail of poisons.’

Areas of methane dead zones devoid of oxygen are continuing to drive species of fish into foreign waters, are killing plankton and other tiny sea life that are the foundation for the entire food chain, and are polluting the air with cancer-causing chemicals and poisonous rainfalls.

And before the news blackout fully descended, the EPA released data that benzene levels in New Orleans had rocketed to as high as 3,000 parts per billion (ppb).

Benzene is extremely toxic, even short term exposure at low levels can cause agonizing illness and slow death from cancerous lesions and leukemia years later. But 3,000ppb is far from a low reading.

Hydrogen sulfide was also detected by the EPA monitoring stations around the New Orleans area. The EPA reported hydrogen sulfide levels as high as 1200ppb. A normal, safe level falls between 5 to 10ppb.

Recently, Ron Kendall, an ecotoxicologist from Texas Tech University, was interviewed by National Geographic concerning the affect of the poisons released by the blown out well on bacteria and plankton in the Gulf.

The results were not looking good. Indications of a major, ongoing poisoning occurring in the Gulf were widespread. "This is what we've been worried about, because this is the base of the food chain," he told National Geographic. "Any effects on that level can work their way right on up."

Meaning right up the food chain to humans--many of whom have already been exposed to poisons from the air and water.

The bio-chemical time bomb

According to a report issued by Michael Harbart, Professor of internal medicine at Wayne State University and Kathleen Burns, Ph.D., Director of Sciencecorps, long-term exposure of the chemicals released by the ongoing BP Gulf disaster--at relatively low levels--should be avoided at all costs because "the potential for serious health damage is substantial. Chronic health effects are typically evaluated for specific crude oil components and vary from cancer to permanent neurological damage. They cover a range of diseases affecting all the organ systems..." [Sciencecorps.org: “Gulf Oil Spill Health Hazards”]

Senior EPA analyst admits millions poisoned in Gulf

Recently--in an eye-opening interview with 'Democracy Now!'--Hugh Kaufman, a senior policy analyst at the EPA’s Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response, made this shocking admission:

"And I think the media now has to follow the money, just as they did in Watergate, and tell the American people who’s getting money for poisoning the millions of people in the Gulf."

As Alexander Higgins at 'Democracy Now!' points out: “Hugh Kaufman has been at the EPA since the Agency was created in the early 1970s, as an engineer, investigator and policy analyst. Prior to joining the EPA in the beginning of 1971, he was a captain in the US Air Force. He helped write all the Federal laws regulating the treatment, storage, disposal, and remediation of solid and hazardous waste. He has been the Chief Investigator on numerous contamination cases, including Love Canal and Times Beach.”

The walking dead

Like those exposed to the Russian Chernobyl disaster, or the many thousands now sick and dying after exposure to the 9-11 Twin Towers toxic cloud, the people of the Gulf coast may have joined the ranks of the walking dead.

Experts cannot predict with any certainty that the poisons will be contained exclusively to the Gulf states. Weather patterns and the variable density of the substances could conceivably expand the Death Zone into parts of the Midwest and East coast of the United States.

‘Blue Flu’ cases spreading around Gulf

By Lounge Daddy, 17 August, 2010  

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            “Blue Flu” infecting people along the Gulf of Mexico, other southern states?

Some people are calling it the BP Flu. But it is commonly being called the Blue Flu, because the alleged symptoms include blue lips and skin; and it’s scaring the hell out of people all around the Gulf area –from Texas to Florida.

This Blue Flu is separate from people experiencing something called TILT, or “Toxic-Induced Loss of Tolerance.” TILT is something that hit some of the folks who had been working on the massive cleanup surrounding the oil spill. Symptoms from TILT include eyes and skin being irritated, headaches and dizziness.

People with TILT are typically those who were in the immediate area of the spill, mostly those directly involved with the cleanup. Those suffering from Blue Flu are an entirely different matter. These are people who were not in direct contact with the spill, or the cleanup chemicals. They simply live in the south, near the Gulf.

Symptoms include swollen glands, notably in the neck, fever, vomiting, headache, bluish lip color, numbness in fingers and toes. The most alarming symptom being reported is “severe symptomatic cyanosis.” This is the entire body turning blue, a discoloration of the skin.

Of course this could cause alarm that these are symptoms of oxygen depletion along the Gulf. But could this rather be from all that Corexit that was sprayed everywhere, including dropped through the air from airplanes? This was a lot of chemical deposited in a large area, in a short frame of time. One wonders how the people living in the area could not be sickened from it.

Here’s a littleabout Corexit:

Corexit is a product line of solvents primarily used as a dispersant for breaking up oil slicks. It is produced by Nalco Holding Company which is associated with BP and Exxon.

Corexit is the most-used dispersant in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, with COREXIT 9527 having been replaced by COREXIT 9500 after the former was deemed too toxic.

Oil that would normally rise to the surface of the water is broken up by the dispersant into small globules that can then remain suspended in the water.

Whatever the cause the Blue Flu, it is important to note that the oil spill wasn’t cleaned up – it was covered up. As stated in the above quote, the Corexit that was sprayed and dumped all over the place is simply a (rather dangerous) chemical agent that prevented the oil from surfacing.

After all, the government isn’t interested in your safety. Rather, the government is interested in creating the illusion of safety. And the government often harms even more people in the end in their effort to keep up appearances.

Thus, expect the Blue Flu to be kept under wraps as much as possible. In an effort to deflect criticism, I would not be surprised if the government sounded an alarm over another flu bug – an effort at misdirection. The political class wants the oil spill story out of the way and forgotten.

There are two major articles about Blue Flu that I read, none in the msm.

One story is pretty alarmist in tone, and another that strives to be far more measured with this. However, the story appears to be well written and sourced — the writer quotes people about Blue Flu.

That article is at worldvisionportal.org. The writer wonders if these are symptoms of oxygen depletion in the air and water. Here’s a little from that one:

Along with the symptoms that mimic flu-like viruses, there are increasing cases of severe symptomatic cyanosis. These rapidly increasing symptoms range from bluish lip color to numbness in fingers and toes. There is also a fast growing increase of pneumonia cases which are being diagnosed as chemical induced pneumonia. Those working on boats and those living directly on the coast are the most effected.

Cyanosis is simply oxygen starvation in the blood. With a moderate case involving such a lack of oxygen, the skin appears to have a blueish colour. Hands and fingers especially show these signs as will other extremities such as toes and lips. A lack of oxygen in the blood can also have a purplish appearance where the skin surface is red from sun exposure but the blood beneath the skin is blue. Red and blue make purple.

If all these BLUE FLU symptoms were temporary, most everyone suffering from them would eventually recover as the blood becomes increasingly oxygenated once removed from the oxygen depletion source.

NATO Orders Canadian Troops To US As ‘Super Weapon’ Prepared To End Gulf Oil Spill

This article has no media black out!

Posted by EU Times on Jul 13th, 2010

It is possible (but not certain) that the US will nuke the Gulf of Mexico in an attempt to stop the oil spill but the question remains: is this the best solution?

New reports circulating in the Kremlin today prepared for Prime Minister Putin by the foreign military intelligence directorate (GRU) state that NATO’s Chairman of the Military Committee Admiral Giampaolo Di Paola has ordered 2,400 Canadian Military Forces to prepare for deployment in the United States oil stricken Gulf Coast region.

As we had previously reported on in our July 4^threport “NATO Orders All “Critical Assets” Moved 100 Miles Inland From Gulf Oil Spill Region”, Admiral Di Paola has taken defacto control from President Obama over this historic catastrophe over fears the American leader and his elite allies were using this disaster to reap untold billions in profits, and we had, likewise, reported on in our June 16^th report “Obama To Earn Nearly $85 Million From Gulf Oil Disaster”.

Admiral Di Paola’s ordered movement of these Canadian Military Forces follows his ordering of 7,000 US Marines to the Central American Nation of Costa Rica so as to have a better positioning of troops on both sides of the Gulf of Mexico should further disasters occur, and as we had also previously reported on in our July 8^th report “NATO Orders 7,000 US Marines To Costa Rica As Gulf Oil Disaster Quake Fears Grow”.

These latest moves by NATO of its forces in response to this catastrophe are occurring at the same time that BP is announcing it has successfully attached a new cap on their leaking deepwater oil well and is preparing to test it in what it says is an effort that will “effectively” shut it.

These reports, however, state that BP’s new capping of this well, and if successful, would stem very little of the oil and methane gas escaping into the Gulf and appears designed as a “gimmick” to fool the American public and keep their attention diverted from the actual location of this spill which is coming from the fractured seafloor itself, and as we had previously reported on in our June 10^th report “Scientists Warn Gulf Of Mexico Sea Floor Fractured “Beyond Repair”.

To BP’s truer plan to stop this catastrophe through the use of a ‘Super Weapon’ we can read as reported by the Salem News Service, and which, in part, says:

“In a desperate attempt to stop a huge area of the Gulf ocean floor from possibly rupturing due to subterranean methane gas (leading to a calamity no human has ever seen) BP has ripped a page from science fiction books.

The giant oil company is now quietly preparing to test a small nuclear device in a frenzied rush against time to quell a cascading catastrophe. If successful they will have the capability to deto

nate a controlled fusion generated pulse.

While the world watches BP’s attempt to contain the oil gusher at the former Deepwater Horizon site, company officials have given the green light on an astounding plan to use what is known as a nuclear EPFCG charge if all else fails.”

Not being realized by the American public about this massive oil leak is that when this well exploded it destroyed all of the piping leaving nothing for BP to seal, and as reluctantly admitted this past Friday by US Coast GuardAdmiral (Ret.) Thad Allen who was appointed by Obama as the National Incident Commander for this disaster.

The effects upon the Gulf of Mexico from the unstrained release of oil and methane gas, as well as the toxic dispersant being used by BP, can only be described in the most apocalyptic terms after US scientists reported this week that it is becoming what they term a “Dead Zone” killing everything it touches not able to flee.

Reports from this region are also painting a grim picture of the effects of this spill upon Gulf regions human population, especially those American workers hired by BP to cleanup oil stained beaches and marsh lands exposed to the dispersement chemical 2-butoxyethanol that has been detected at levels up to 10 parts per million (ppm) in more than 20 percent of offshore responders and 15 percent of those near shore.

And as concerns grow over the potentially catastrophic death toll that could arise from this disaster, new reportsfrom the US are stating that within the past 72 hours American Military forces have begun moving into the affected areas and setting up roadblocks and terrifying the people who live there.

Unfortunately for the American people they have not been allowed to know the full scale of this catastrophe due to their government suppressing the news about what has been happening by barring reporters from getting near the spill or the affected beaches.  So enraged were the US media about this ban on reporting it caused Admiral (Ret.) Allen to rescind it yesterday.

But to the worst potential outcome of this disaster we note a warning being sounded by a bio-chemical engineer named Gregory Ryskin from the United States’ Northwestern University’s who states that BP’s Deepwater Horizon drilling operation may have triggered an irreversible, cascading geological apocalypse that will culminate with the first mass extinction of life on Earth in many millions of years.

According to Ryskin, the oil giant BP drilled down miles into a geologically unstable region and may have set thestage for the eventual premature release of a methane mega-bubble that has worried scientists due to their concern that the same series of catastrophic events that led to Worldwide death in the past may be happening again-and no known technology can stop it.

Important to note in all of these events is this disaster being used by  powerful elite forces to prepare the American people for a World they no nothing about but will, beyond all doubt, see them reduced to nothing more than debt-slaves as the rich and powerful continue their raping of the US economy and the destruction of their environment.

One surely wonders these days when these people will ever awaken from their long slumber to realize that their once sought after “American Dream” has turned into an “American Nightmare”, all occurring as these same people neglected to remember one of the most time-honored and fundamental facts of human existence, that the future for our children rests in what we do today, and, perhaps, best articulated by the great American Revolutionary War Patriot Thomas Paine who said, “If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.”

Today in a very troubled America her children call out for that peace, one can only hope that their parents are listening.

NATO Orders 7,000 US Marines To Costa Rica As Gulf Oil Disaster Quake Fears Grow

Posted by EU Times July 8th, 2010

This is basically the same article posted further down on this page, but without media blackout. This is why the military acted so swiftly to move the troops and carriers and helecopters!   

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Russian foreign military intelligence directorate (GRU) sources are reporting in the Kremlin today that NATO has ordered over 7,000 US Marines to begin deploying in the Central American Nation of Costa Rica [map 2^ndphoto left] over fears the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is about to rupture the fracture zone lying between the North American and Caribbean Plates and potentially unleashing upon the America’s a catastrophic earthquake.

As we had previously reported on in our July 4^th report titled “NATO Orders All “Critical Assets” Moved 100 Miles Inland From Gulf Oil Spill Region”, NATO’s current Chairman of the Military Committee Admiral Giampaolo Di Paola has taken defacto control over the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster from President Obama who continues to this day leaving this unprecedented catastrophe in the hands of his intelligence services and BP.

Admiral Di Paola’s fears, this report continues, lies in the massive amount of abiogenic oil and methane gases being released from the Gulf of Mexico which many experts are warning could destabilize an already weakened earthquake zone and which Russian scientists are holding responsible for the 5.0 magnitude trembler that hit the Great Lakes region barely a fortnight ago and the 4.6 Virgin Island and 4.7 Guatemala quakes occurring during the past 24 hours.

Equally potentially catastrophic for this region is this massive oil spill occurring during a predicted above average hurricane season as another storm begins churning these troubled waters, it occurring during a time of a total solar eclipse due to occur on July 11^th, and as our Sun begins throwing off a number of massive flares, all long associated with earthquakes in both modern and ancient lore.

The connection with catastrophic earthquakes upon our Earth and their association with solar eclipses have long been known and was last evidenced by the January 12, 2010 7.0 magnitude quake that destroyed the CaribbeanIsland of Haiti killing over 250,000 and occurring 3 days before the January 15, 2010 solar eclipse.  Hurricane type storms are also said to be cause of earthquakes by scientists as well as solar flares.

Admiral Di Paola’s decision to move these 7,000 US Marines from their American base in North Carolina toCosta Rica, this report continues, is based upon his need to have “viable forces” positioned on either side of the North American and Caribbean Plate Zones should disaster strike.

Under pressure from NATO, Costa Rica this week granted the US military a six-month window to bring the 7,000 Marines, five planes and 46 warships into its territory by a vote of 31-8 vote by its Legislative Assembly with some lawmakers warning that their Nation was giving up its sovereignty.

And in what could possibly be one of the greatest ironies of all time, (and we’re not making this up, check the links) the American government is saying that its rapid movement of these 7,000 US Marines to Costa Rica is to help this Central American Nation “fight drugs”, while at the exact same time it not only refuses to protect its own drug infested border with Mexico, it has actually sued one of its own States for trying to protect it themselves.

Though the US government continues to blackout nearly all the news of this historic catastrophe from reaching the American people, the same cannot be said of the hundreds, if not thousands of this beleaguered Nations citizens who continue their brave mission to inform their fellow citizens of the dire straight they are all facing, such as:

The New Orleans families that traveled at great peril to the Gulf dodging roadblocks to gather their own samples of the water which show the waters are totally poisoned.

A small, but very brave, American woman named Marguerite Cravatt who at 4’11” stood up to a 6’4” police officer trying to stop her from filming one of the many workers falling ill and having to be taken to hospital.

The Sea Shepherd environmental group whose pilots have braved flying over the Gulf in fear of being shot down to document the catastrophic extent of this spill from the air.

The Archangel Project which has documented the thousands of buses being secreted into the Gulf region for possible evacuations when the true extent of this disaster becomes known.

The Florida Oil Spill Law website that has documented the hundreds of BP oil spill workers falling ill as well asreporting on the deaths occurring there too.

The anonymous BP contract worker who agreed to be interviewed and explained the meaning of the “red flags”and “black flags” being used by cleanup crews.

Though these are but a few of those seeking to tell the truth of these events, there are so many more doing the same thing that it perhaps signals that the power of the propaganda American media that exists only to serve the elite classes of the United States may, in fact, be crumbling as viewership levels have hit record lows among the United States top network newscasts.

But be warned, and as history has proven time and time again, these elite classes will not go down without a fight and care not at all how millions have to die to protect their lives of wealth and privilege.

 HUGH OIL WELL BLOWOUT IN ASSUMPTION PARRISH IN LOUISIANA

ess-Register, August 6, 2010:

Paper: Corexit appears to be washing up at Gulf beaches; Biodegradation “may not be happening” as believed

AUGUST 6TH, 2010 AT 08:31 PM

Tests suggest oil dispersant washing up on Alabama beaches

 The stained, brown water seen washing up in pockets along Alabama beaches for the last two weeks appears to contain the dispersantwidely used on oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill, according to a preliminary analysis.

Ed Overton, a Louisiana State University chemist… [who] is analyzing oil samples for the federal government… said… “indications [are] that there was a dispersant signal in the sample.” … [T]he signal was similar to a Corexit sample.

Harriet Perry, a scientist at the Gulf Coast Research Lab in Ocean Springs [said]… “It looks like they found [COrexit],” Perry said of work by research colleagues at Tulane University [researching crab larvae]… “For a droplet to be that small, it has to be dispersed oil… It’s supposed to biodegrade rapidly. It’s supposed to disappear in days, not weeks, but that may not be happening.”

Enbridge, law enforcement still keeping media away

News outlets denied access to key spill site for the second time

By TODD A. HEYWOOD 8/2/10 12:44 PM

MARHSALL TWP — On Sunday evening, Michigan Messenger was initially denied access — again — to a key oil spill site after attempting to record video of the Kalamazoo River where it crosses under 15 Mile Rd, the same site where we recorded video on Tuesday showing dramatic ribbons of oil and heavy sheen on the surface of the river as it passed under the bridge.

EPA and Enbridge officials have said the river clean up has made significant progress in the past several days.

However, when Messenger arrived at the site a security officer working for Enbridge approached and said no media was allowed. Messenger requested to speak to the Calhoun County Deputy Sheriff who was at the site. That deputy cleared Messenger’s request with an official from Enbridge, but they would only allow the filming of 30 seconds of video.

During the time Messenger was waiting to speak to the deputy, a citizen video crew approached, and was turned back by the security officer.

And it isn’t only news outlets being denied access to public locations by law enforcement and Enbridge officials. Shawn Welker, volunteer coordinator for Circle D Wildlife Refuge, says his group is getting similar reports from volunteers.

“Photographers are being threatened,” Welker said.

This is the second time since Enbridge’s pipeline 6B burst late Sunday night, pouring over one million gallons of crude oil into the Talmadge Creek and the Kalamazoo River, that Messenger has been refused entry to public right of ways to monitor the ongoing clean up operations. On Tuesday, Messenger was kicked out of the area of Ceresco Dam, located at 12 Mile Rd and C Drive in Marshall Township.

On Sunday evening, the Dam bridge remained closed to traffic and Enbridge and EPA contractors had created a series of collection sites in the area. The bridge and other areas around the dam had been cordoned off by Calhoun County Sheriff Officials.

When Messenger was there Sunday night, EPA Region 5 Director Susan Hedman and EPA Deputy Incident Commander Mark Durno were reviewing clean up efforts while standing on the bridge. Two vacuum trucks were parked on C Drive actively vacuuming oil from a skimmer in the water below the dam.

Legal experts and journalism professors say the access issue is troubling.

“The Constitution certainly protects not only the freedom of speech, but the freedom of the press. And the press is so often the eyes and ears of the public on so many of these disasters,” says Jessie Rossman, general staff attorney for the Michigan ACLU. “We certainly recognize the right of the government to reasonably work with the press on safety issues, but it can’t arbitrarily interfere with access.”

The ACLU of Michigan is currently preparing a letter to Calhoun County Sheriff Allen L. Byam expressing concern about the media access issues raised by Michigan Messenger and others working to document the oil spill and clean up efforts.

The issue echoes similar problems in the Gulf oil spill involving BP and the Coast Guard, where many reporters and photographers have been chased away from beaches while trying to document the damage done by the spill. “We recognize the important and critical role that the media plays in ensuring the public gets information,” says Rossman. “Not only do we recognize it, but the Constitution protects it as well.”

“There are serious concerns about why the sheriff’s department is doing the bidding of a private corporation,” says Bonnie Bucqueroux, an instructor at the MSU School of Journalism. “We know in this 24 hour news cycle that if you don’t have pictures, you don’t have a story. That is part of the reason they are being so ferocious on this.”

Bucqueroux called the situation “outrageous” and said groups like the ACLU Michigan and the Society for Professional Journalists should be making this situation “a cause celebre.”

Michigan's Kalamazoo River oil "spill," believed to be over one million gallons, is possibly leading the nation toward both tragedy and dictatorship with military powers of historic proportions under Obama's National Emergency he declared,  now with American troops poised for urban duty and Canadian troops on 72-hour stand-by. This latest "spill" is possibly a military leap not for mankind, but for New World Order that it serves.

Why the delayed response?

Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm is "sharply criticizing efforts to contain the spill" and warning of a "tragedy of historic proportions" if oil reaches Lake Michigan, only some 80 miles downstream according to AP. The oil is almost half-way there. (Detroit News)

The United States remains under the National Emergency that President Obama declared after the government manipulated H1N1 swine flu ‘pandemic’ data, as Dr. Mercola and NVIC's Barbara Loe Fisher alerted Americans. 

At any moment, under today's National Emergency, President Obama could dismiss certain regulations and much more, such quarantine large numbers of people. (See: Ron Paul address to Americans: National Emergency increases president powers, D. Dupre, Examiner, October 29, 2009)

U.S. combat troops were stationed on U.S. soil to "assist" with civilian vaccinations, Since the Gulf oil and Corexit poison operation began, the stated reason for U.S. troop active duty build-up in the Deep South and Costa Rica is to address drug traffic.

Oil gushing from the underground pipeline connecting the U.S. to Canada poses the new emergency health threat, one involving all life in the area, including human. It increases probability that presidential powers under the National Emergency will be used. 

Warnings issued to Kalamazoo and surrounding area residents are that "this oil is highly toxic with benzene, a carcinogen, and to stay away from the water - the fumes are strong apparently - and not even to try to help wildlife," according to Kalamazoo resident, Dr. Joetta Carr.

Workers on the scene are very "tight-lipped" according to an Examiner reliable source there.

Time will soon tell whether the Michigan oil spill is yet another step towards U.S.-backed aim of New World Order through the Defence Department's Full Spectrum Dominance.

Since the Bush regime's 9/11 operation, 77 persons died and 10,000 have been injured from breathing Ground Zero toxic dust in air EPA claimed "safe." Respirators were not provided.

Since the Obama regime's Gulf of Mexico operation began,  at least 13 persone have died already and 40,000 workers and millions of residents have been injured breathing Ground Zero toxic air that EPA claims "safe." With government approval,respirators are not provided to Gulf workers, not even allowed.

Every day, millions of people are breathing poisoned air in the Gulf Coast open-air, invisible gas chamber. The colorless, odorless natural gas escaping from the ruptured Gulf well is destroying life forms.  What cannot be seen or smelled can and does kill.

"This isn't fair to me, this is not fair to my family," he said. "I'm insulted. I didn't go to Ground Zero to sue.

"I went there because this is my home," reported Hamblett.

"Thousands of people 'are still suffering' from 911 "safe" air stated Dr. Philip Landrigan of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine a day after the sixth anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001 mass murder; their ailments ranging "from runny noses to laryngitis to lung disease" according to Washington Post.

"Respiratory illness, psychological distress and financial devastation have become a new way of life for many," stated Landrigan to a House panel four years ago. (Washington Post)

Louisiana Environmental Action Network (LEAN) now reports being inundated with phone calls all day, every day, by not only cleanup workers, but also Gulf Coast residents saying that they are experiencing dizziness, fainting, nausea, nosebleeds, vomiting, coughing, headaches, stomach upset, difficulty breathing. (See LEAN interview, Youtube video below) This is how long-term, painful illness caused by chemicals begins. It is only the beginning.

By June 16, 2010, it was reported that "20% of offshore clean-up workers, 15% near-shore clean-up workers tested had levels of 2-Butoxyethanol (used in Corexit) measured at 10 parts per million - twice the limit specified by the Center for Disease Control (CDC)." (See: MSNBC: Corexit injures humans, hides evidence, Dupre, Examiner, June 16, 2010)

Now, some reports indicate all of the workers and a large percentage of Gulf Coast residents are poisoned and will suffer long-term "Chemical Sensitivity Disease," the "BP Gulf Syndrome," referred to by the term of 1996,  Toxicant Induced Loss of Tolerance (TILT).  It is an "environmental disease."  "TILT" is far better for BP's PR campaign.

TILT is an incapacitating, extremely painful condition that Gulf Coast residents are developing, at least to some degree over time, if not already showing signs of early stages of it such as severe headaches and exhaustion.  TILT lessens the body's ability to survive, being unable to tolerate infection, medicines, vaccines and other invasions. It is similar to, if not same as no-touch torture to death, knowingly inflicted.

Gulf of Mexico Health, a "collaborative research and news on the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and its effects on health managed by Diane Michel reports, "People suffering from TILT lose the ability to tolerate exposures to household chemical products, medication or even food, Dr. Claudia Miller of the University of Texas Health Science Center told WOAI TV." (See: Gulf of Mexico Health, San Antonio News: gulfofmexicohealth.com/oilspill/2010/07/01/oil-worker-exposure-sickness-tilt-losing-tolerance/)

Oil Spill Epidemic

Why are oil spills suddenly occurring constantly, all over the world? Just this year, the environment has taken an unprecedented beating, from the oil industry alone.

There's now a leak of an oil pipeline in the Kalamazoo River, Michigan. So far, an estimated 840,000 gallons of oil has gushed into a creek that directly flows into the river. 

Meanwhile, the Chinese oil spill has been contained before it reached international waters, the Chinese government assures us. (Then again, this is the same Chinese government that kills political dissidents, censors the internet, and initially lied about culpability in scandals overpoisonous pet food, poisonous milk, contaminated pharamaceuticals, andtoxic drywall.)

The Egyptian government similarly tried to keep the truth quiet about theGeisum oil leak in the Red Sea, and we're still in the dark about what's really been going on over there.

And in the North Sea last month, an oil leak occurred at the Maersk Resolute drilling platform near Denmark.

An American oil rig owned by Taylor Energy was discovered to be leakingwhen a research accidentally noticed it on satellite imagery while seeking images of the nearby BP leak.

And of course, the BP leak still continues unfixed to this day, with growing concerns about potentially catastrophic damage beneath the sea floor.

Michigan oil spill a replay of Gulf spill?

By Ed Brayton 7/27/10

It’s looking like the oil spill from a pipeline into the Talmadge Creek in Calhoun County is going to be a replay of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in at least one respect — the companies, aided by the government, do not want the media to have access to take pictures and video of what is going on. The Michigan Messenger’s Todd Heywood is on the scene and was turned away from one of the primary sites by employees of Enbridge, the company that owns and operates the pipeline.

Heywood was at 12 Mile Rd. and C Avenue at a bridge over the Ceresco Dam when employees from Enbridge turned him away. The employee would only give his name as Mike, and when he noticed Heywood writing down the information he said, “I’m not telling you anything else” and walked away.

A sheriff’s deputy on the scene confirmed that he was not allowed to take pictures there of the oil spill or the wildlife. He then went to the Enbridge command center and was told by Enbridge spokesperson Lorraine Grymala that he would have to go to the Calhoun County Sheriff to talk to them about it.

At the Calhoun County offices, the desk clerk would not give him the contact information for the sheriff or a public information officer and said she was told only to give out an 800 number. That number went to Enbridge, but it is only an answering machine where one can leave messages.

Heywood reports that they are closing down roads all along the Kalamazoo River and there is a heavy smell of oil in the air. People have been pulling oil-covered animals out of the water, but at this point there is no place for them to go. A private company is being brought in to handle the wildlife cleanup but there is nothing in place yet for treating them.

We’ll have more as this story develops.

In this Thursday, July 22, 2010 photo provided by China's Xinhua News Agency, a volunteer cleans up crude oil at a polluted beach in Dalian, northeast China's Liaoning Province. China and environmental observers said cleanup efforts on the country's largest reported oil spill were progressing Thursday, but the environmental and economic damage was clear.

BEIJING — The first details emerged Friday on the cause of China's largest reported oil spill, while environmentalists urged the government to do more to warn local residents of potential danger, saying children are playing still off nearby beaches.

Chinese authorities gave no update Friday on the size of the oil spill, which had spread over at least 165 square miles (430 square kilometers) of water after a pipeline at the busy northeastern port of Dalian exploded a week ago.

The disaster has caused China to take a hard look at its ports, some of the busiest in the world.

The explosion was caused when workers continued to inject desulfurizer into the pipeline after a tanker had finished unloading oil, according to a statement posted Friday on the website of the State Administration of Work Safety. A desulfurizer is a chemical substance used to remove high sulfur content from crude oil.

The statement said the explosion remains under investigation. The pipeline is owned by China National Petroleum Corp., Asia's biggest oil and gas producer by volume. State media have said oil operations at the Xingang port have resumed.

China's transport ministry ordered ports across the country to have emergency response plans and hold regular safety drills, the state-run Xinhua News Agency reported Friday.

The ministry will also establish a database of all ports that handle dangerous goods, the People's Daily newspaper reported.

Officials have warned of a "severe threat" to sea life and water quality as China's latest environmental crisis spread off the shores of Dalian, once named China's most livable city. One cleanup worker drowned this week, his body coated in crude.

Cleanup workers have reported using chopsticks and their bare hands to remove the gooey oil from the sea, while state media said 2,000 soldiers, 40 oil-skimming boats and hundreds of fishing boats were helping with the cleanup.

Environmental group Greenpeace, which has a team at the scene, urged the government to warn residents on nearby coastlines of the dangers.

BP's Photoshopped Command Center Just The Latest In A Pattern Of Deception

Jason Linkins-The Huffington Post

First Posted: 07-20-10 11:52 AM

 The latest curio in the ongoing exhibition of BP obfuscation comes via John Aravosis at AmericaBlog, who examined an image from BP's website and determined it to be a fake. The image depicts BP's "Command Center" in Houston, where ever-vigilant BP employees sit in a dark room, monitoring screens. BP's website has been running a photo in which three men appear to be watching a ten-screen display of oil-spill footage. Here's the thing: it's a Photoshop job. And not just a poor one -- a seemingly unnecessary one.

Here's the one BP was running:

And, via Max Read at Gawker, here's what this photo looked like, prior to the alteration.

Aravosis has about seven or eight detailed images which demonstrate the terrible masking job done by the photo-surrealist in charge of mocking up the image for public consumption. Naturally, BP has chosen to blame its photographer for the confusion. For any of you who are more gifted at faking photos, this represents a potential employment opportunity. (AmericaBlog also points out that the metadata on the photo indicates that the image in question was taken in March of 2001, which means either the photographer doesn't know how to use his camera, or BP is, as they say, "lying."

But Read asks the pertinent question: "Does that really look so much different that the Photoshopping was necessary? Were they so afraid of the withering comments of bloggers noticing three blank screens that they thought they should paste in three duplicate images?" Exactly! Who would have cared if there were three blank screens? Who would have faulted BP for the failure to run a more-or-less content-free photo of their Command Center in the first place? It's almost as if BP is somehow, first and foremost, obsessed with PR?

Oh, wait, that's right, they are! Let's leave the world of Photoshop and turn to a more pressing matter. The well, as you know, is capped. However, there have been broad reports of "seepage" away from the site, as pressure builds on the capped well, the oil may be leaking -- sorry, "seeping" -- elsewhere in the Gulf. Government officials want to relieve the pressure by pumping the well oil up to waiting ships. BP wants to keep the well clamped. This AP report explains why:

The company very much wants to avoid a repeat of millions of gallons of oil spewing from the blown well for weeks, watched live across the country on underwater video.

If the valves are kept closed, as BP wants, it's possible that no more oil will leak into the Gulf of Mexico. Work on a permanent plug is moving steadily, with crews drilling into the side of the ruptured well from deep underground. By next week, they could start blasting in mud and cement to block off the well for good.

But the government is worried that the cap on the well is causing oil and gas to leak out elsewhere, which could make the sea floor unstable and cause the well to collapse. That's why federal officials want to pump the crude to ships on the surface. That would require opening the well for a few days to relieve pressure before the pipes could be hooked up, letting millions more gallons of oil spill out in the interim.

I'll let Sarabeth Guthberg, who finds AP's work here to be slipshod on top of everything else,hammer this home:

They deliberately want to avoid the first-best solution and plump for a much riskier second-best, driven entirely by PR considerations?

And pretty damn foolish PR considerations too. Everyone who was going to be upset due to watching the live video feed is already as upset as they can possibly be. The live video spectacle resulting from opening the well again for a few days (in order to make the whole system safer) really can't make them any more upset. To refuse to relieve pressure in the well only to avoid having any more live video of oil spewing from the blown well is truly insane.

But what makes the story even more disturbing is that BP has a clear ulterior motive here, over and above the PR considerations that AP ascribes to the company.

And that ulterior motive is BP's desire to keep the total amount of oil released into the Gulf as murky as possible, because ultimately, that figure will determine the organization's total liability.

So why does a Photoshop image matter? It matters because of the pattern. A seemingly superfluous image on a website, the dispatching of a team of fake reporters, the deliberate -- potentially dangerous -- obfuscation of oil spill flow... these actions all spring from the same desire, the desire to deceive. The Photoshop incident only proves that BP is willing to go the extra mile to do so

BP floats new bid to seal well with cement

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (AFP) – BP crafted a new plan Tuesday hoping to seal for good a blown-out Gulf of Mexico oil well, with the disaster set to top a key White House summit between Britain and the United States.

The US government allowed BP to keep in place a cap stemming the flow from the ruptured wellhead for another 24 hours, as engineers floated a new plan to choke off the well with a massive injection of cement and mud.

BP said the aim would be to send down heavy drilling mud through the blowout preventer valve system that sits on top of the well and then inject cement into the wellhead to seal it.

"We're still very much in the design and planning phase," said senior BP vice president for exploration and production Kent Wells. "We've got some real experienced teams working on this over the next couple of days."

The latest plan is similar to a "top kill" bid at the end of May, weeks after the April explosion which tore through a BP-leased rig off Louisiana, when engineers spend days pumping drilling fluid into the leaking well.

That effort failed to smother the gushing crude, but officials believe the outcome could be different this time with the flow already contained.

US Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen, who is overseeing the disaster response, said the planning was still in initial stages, and stressed two relief wells being drilled close to the busted wellhead remain the ultimate fix.

Wells said Allen would decide whether to go ahead with the new so-called "static kill" in the coming days.

The spill, now the worst environmental disaster in US history, loomed large over summit talks between visiting British Prime Minister David Cameron and President Barack Obama.

But the White House insisted ahead of the meeting BP would not overshadow the talks. "I don't think it will hamper any of our discussions," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said.

"The president is certainly looking for BP to live up to its monetary obligations to pay the damages and the fines that it will be assessed as a result of this disaster" which has devastated communities along the Gulf coast.

"And I think that's what the prime minister has said as well."

Cameron meanwhile urged BP to live up to its responsibilities. But the fate of the company is a sensitive issue, since BP's stock is the backbone of many British pension funds.

The British leader insisted BP must be kept solvent, with costs related to the spill already almost four billion dollars.

"Of course we will discuss BP," Cameron told Time magazine. "It is an important company not just for Britain, it's an important company for America as well. It employs tens of thousands of people in the US, as it does in the UK."

Allen said five days of "integrity tests" on the tighter-fitting cap placed on the damaged wellhead last week had detected seepage and other anomalies, but said they did not appear to be of major concern.

But he ordered BP to produce a detailed timeline for restarting operations to contain the oil with a fleet ofsurface vessels if the cap has to be opened again if a large amount of oil starts seeping out of the wellhead or the cap.

The announcement on Thursday that BP had stopped the oil flow completely for the first time since April raised hope among devastated communities along the Gulf Coast that their three-month environmental nightmare may soon be over.

Measuring devices on BP's cap have given steadily increasing high-pressure readings, which would indicate there are no major leaks in the wellbore that stretches an astonishing 2.5 miles (four kilometers) below the seabed.

The disaster began on April 20 when the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, 50 miles (80 kilometers) off the coast of Louisiana, killing 11 workers.

The still burning rig sank to the bottom of the Gulf two days later.

Oil has washed up on the coasts of all five Gulf states -- Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida -- since the rig sank.

If is not known exactly how much oil has leaked into the sea, but if the upper estimate of over four million barrels is confirmed, the disaster would be the biggest accidental oil spill ever.

NATO Orders 7,000 US Marines To Costa Rica As Gulf Oil Disaster Quake Fears Grow

Posted by EU Times on Jul 8th, 2010

Russian foreign military intelligence directorate (GRU) sources are reporting in the Kremlin today that NATO has ordered over 7,000 US Marines to begin deploying in the Central American Nation of Costa Rica [map 2^ndphoto left] over fears the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is about to rupture the fracture zone lying between the North American and Caribbean Plates and potentially unleashing upon the America’s a catastrophic earthquake.

As we had previously reported on in our July 4^th report titled “NATO Orders All “Critical Assets” Moved 100 Miles Inland From Gulf Oil Spill Region”, NATO’s current Chairman of the Military Committee Admiral Giampaolo Di Paola has taken defacto control over the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster from President Obama who continues to this day leaving this unprecedented catastrophe in the hands of his intelligence services and BP.

Admiral Di Paola’s fears, this report continues, lies in the massive amount of abiogenic oil and methane gases being released from the Gulf of Mexico which many experts are warning could destabilize an already weakened earthquake zone and which Russian scientists are holding responsible for the 5.0 magnitude trembler that hit the Great Lakes region barely a fortnight ago and the4.6 Virgin Island and 4.7 Guatemala quakes occurring during the past 24 hours.

Equally potentially catastrophic for this region is this massive oil spill occurring during a predicted above average hurricane season as another storm begins churning these troubled waters, it occurring during a time of a total solar eclipse due to occur on July 11^th, and as our Sun begins throwing off a number of massive flares, all long associated with earthquakes in both modern and ancient lore.

The connection with catastrophic earthquakes upon our Earth and their association with solar eclipses have long been known and was last evidenced by the January 12, 2010 7.0 magnitude quake that destroyed the Caribbean Island of Haiti killing over 250,000 and occurring 3 days before the January 15, 2010 solar eclipse.  Hurricane type storms are also said to be cause of earthquakes by scientists as well as solar flares.

Admiral Di Paola’s decision to move these 7,000 US Marines from their American base in North Carolina to Costa Rica, this report continues, is based upon his need to have “viable forces” positioned on either side of the North American and Caribbean Plate Zones should disaster strike.

Under pressure from NATO, Costa Rica this week granted the US military a six-month window to bring the 7,000 Marines, five planes and 46 warships into its territory by a vote of 31-8 vote by its Legislative Assembly with some lawmakers warning that their Nation was giving up its sovereignty.

And in what could possibly be one of the greatest ironies of all time, (and we’re not making this up, check the links) the American government is saying that its rapid movement of these 7,000 US Marines to Costa Rica is to help this Central American Nation “fight drugs”, while at the exact same time it not only refuses to protect its own drug infested border with Mexico, it has actually sued one of its own States for trying to protect it themselves.

Though the US government continues to blackout nearly all the news of this historic catastrophe from reaching the American people, the same cannot be said of the hundreds, if not thousands of this beleaguered Nations citizens who continue their brave mission to inform their fellow citizens of the dire straight they are all facing, such as:

The New Orleans families that traveled at great peril to the Gulf dodging roadblocks to gather their own samples of the water which show the waters are totally poisoned.

A small, but very brave, American woman named Marguerite Cravatt who at 4’11” stood up to a 6’4” police officer trying to stop her from filming one of the many workers falling ill and having to be taken to hospital.

The Sea Shepherd environmental group whose pilots have braved flying over the Gulf in fear of being shot down to document the catastrophic extent of this spill from the air.

The Archangel Project which has documented the thousands of buses being secreted into the Gulf region for possible evacuations when the true extent of this disaster becomes known.

The Florida Oil Spill Law website that has documented the hundreds of BP oil spill workers falling ill as well as reporting on the deaths occurring there too.

The anonymous BP contract worker who agreed to be interviewed and explained the meaning of the “red flags”and “black flags” being used by cleanup crews.

Though these are but a few of those seeking to tell the truth of these events, there are so many more doing the same thing that it perhaps signals that the power of the propaganda American media that exists only to serve the elite classes of the United States may, in fact, be crumbling as viewership levels have hit record lows among the United States top network newscasts.

But be warned, and as history has proven time and time again, these elite classes will not go down without a fight and care not at all how millions have to die to protect their lives of wealth and privilege.

In 1903, Cabalist Banker Prophesied Gulf Apocalypse

June 19, 2010

"To assure priority of this prophecy, I state that the following novella has been written in 1903. Gustav Meyrink".

The novella tells the story of Dr. Jessegrim who has made a fortune in the mescaline business. 

He decides to go into oil. 

All of Mexico was standing on caves which were partly at least filled with petroleum, and connected with each other. Jessegrim resolves to blast away the separations between the caves. After the last detonation, the oil was to flow from the underground deposit in Mexico into the ocean and form a glass surface, which continues to grow, taken by the gulf stream, soon covering the entire Atlantic surface. The coasts were barren and the population retreated into the interior of the land.

Instead of being arrested, in Meyrink's story, Jessegrim is hired as a consultant. He says: "If the oil continues to spill as it does, it will have covered the oceans of the world in 27 to 29 weeks and there will be no more rains, ever, as water can not evaporate anymore. At best, it will rain petroleum."

First widely criticized, this prophecy (of Dr. Jessegrim) becomes increasingly plausible as the hidden flow does not stop, and when it increases dramatically, panic grips humanity. 

Cable from USA to EU: "Oil leaks increase constantly. Situation extremely dangerous. Advise immediately whether stink there is also unbearable".

In Meyrink's occult circles, they were fantasizing about oil reserves  gushing into the ocean, from the Gulf of Mexico, covering the oceans. 

They postulated that an oil reservoir released into the oceans would be an apocalypse and possibly destroy the entire earth.  It would start with a huge explosion. The culprit (a Dr. No figure,  "Dr. Jessegrim") is motivated by blind hate of humanity. He destroys humanity via a "wrath of god" - the oil catastrophe.

Unlike dystopian stories like "1984" by George Orwell or "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley, who made no such claims, Mayrink called his story a "Prophecy". At the beginning of the story, he states quasi in notary fashion: 

"To assure priority of this prophecy, I state that the following novella has been written in 1903. Gustav Meyrink".

With the discovery of his prophecy concerning the oil catastrophe in the Mexican Gulf, Meyrink could become posthumously famous in 2010. The best-known story of Meyrink is "The Golem" (1915), one of the Cabalistic   treatments of the golem-saga where rabbis breathe life into a clay monster who vanquishes their enemies.

Meyrink ran a banking house between 1889 and 1902 and circulated his entire life in the occult world of Christian and Jewish mysticism, theosophy and alchemy.

Around 1900, the "magician and mystic" Aleister Crowley, in reality a drug-addicted megalomaniac, traveled to Mexico. It has always been known that, due to the lack of real magic, one had always to help things along, which is why the only real background of magic is illusion - the representation of magic.

Until now, every magician was really an illusionist, who interprets a natural event as magical. Or, an illusion as a natural event (see the attacks of 9-11). And while some developed an honest and entertaining art form out of this, others insisted on selling their illusions as real magic or natural phenomena.

Meyrink was frequenting such circles. Not only the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, but also the "Germania" lodge, the first lodge of the Theosophist Society. It was founded by (widely regarded con-woman) Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, who also founded the magazine "Lucifer".

Meyrink eventually realized that the so-called "séances" for contacting ghosts from the other side were "almost entirely relying on tricks or self-deception".

One needs to point out that back then, people apparently fantasized about oil reserves spilling into the oceans, and doing so in the Gulf of Mexico.

Additionally, they believed this would become an apocalypse and could destroy the entire earth. 

In Meyrink's story, the perpetrator is motivated by blind hatred of humanity: The destruction of the "crowd" was seen by Meyrink/Jessegrim as possible only through a "god-given scourge" - meaning, the oil apocalypse.

- Sales of shares and stocks in days and weeks beforehand

- Halliburton link, acquisition of cleanup company days before explosion

- BP report cites undocumented tampering with well sealing equipment

- Government uses disaster to push for Carbon Tax, Nationalization talk

         **A carbon tax is an environmental tax that is levied on the carbon content of fuels(Hoeller and Wallin, 1991, p. 92).^[1] Carbon atoms are present in every fossil fuel(coal, petroleum, and natural gas) and are released as carbon dioxide (CO₂) when they are burnt. In contrast, non-combustion energy sources—wind, sunlight,hydropower, and nuclear—do not convert hydrocarbons to carbon dioxide. A carbon tax can be implemented by taxing the burning of fossil fuels—coal, petroleumproducts such as gasoline and aviation fuel, and natural gas—in proportion to their carbon content. Accordingly, a carbon tax increases the competitiveness of non-carbon technologies compared to the traditional burning of fossil fuels, thus helpi

Troubling evidence surrounding the Deepwater Horizon explosion on April 20th suggests that the incident could have been manufactured.

On April 12th, just over one week before the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded, Halliburton, the world's second largest oilfield services corporation, surprised some by acquiring Boots & Coots, a relatively small but vastly experienced oil

well control companies.

The company deals with fires and blowouts on oil rigs and oil wells. It was responsible for putting out roughly one third of the more than 700 oil well fires set in Kuwait by retreating Iraqi soldiers during the Gulf War.

The deal itself is still under scrutiny with Boots and Coots facing an ongoing investigation into "possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law"

Where this information gets really interesting is with the fact that Halliburton is named in the majority of some two dozen lawsuits filed since the explosion by Gulf Coast people and businesses who claim that the company is to blame for the disaster.

Halliburton was forced to admit in testimony at a congressional hearing last month that it carried out a cementing operation 20 hours before the Gulf of Mexico rig went up in flames. The lawsuits claim that four Halliburton workers stationed on the rig improperly capped the well.

As the New York Times noted on May 26th, "BP officials chose, partly for financial reasons, to use a type of casing for the well that the company knew was the riskier of two options,"

Workers from the rig and company officials have said that hours before the explosion, gases were leaking through the cement, which had been set in place by the oil services contractor, Halliburton. Investigators have said these leaks were the likely cause of the explosion."

According to a 2007 study by Minerals Management Service, cementing was a factor in 18 of 39 rig blowouts in the gulf between 1992 and 2006.

Another intriguing connection Boots and Coots has to the Deepwater Horizon explosion comes via Pat Campbell, the man BP has employed to cap the well beneath the ruined rig. Campbell worked for Boots and Coots as general manager for many years.

BP has admitted to buying Yahoo and Google keywords in an attempt to control publicly available information in the wake of the catastrophe. It seems that the company is taking all the flack for the spill while the Halliburton link is being roundly ignored.

BP's prepared testimony briefing, which has since leaked online, also intriguingly notes that the Hydraulic Control System on equipment designed to automatically seal the well in an emergency was modified without their knowledge sometime before the explosion.

Tropical storm, oil slick equal more fear, uncertainty

Tropical storm threatens Gulf cleanup

New Orleans, Louisiana (CNN) -- As much as 2.5 million gallons of oil could flow into the Gulf of Mexico for two weeks if Tropical Storm Alex forces a work stoppage at the ruptured BP well.

Adm. Thad Allen, the government's disaster response manager, said Saturday that gale-force winds near the well head would prompt an evacuation of the thousands of workers and vessels involved in the oil recovery and cleanup effort.

It would take 14 days to put everything back in place, Allen said. That means the containment cap would be off for that period, allowing oil to flow freely. Researchers have estimated that between 35,000 barrels -- about 1.5 million gallons -- and 60,000 barrels -- about 2.5 million gallons -- of oil are gushing into the ocean every day.

Anxiety levels rose Saturday as Alex churned toward Mexico with a potential for hurricane force winds in the coming days. The storm is not on track to directly pass over oil-affected areas but forecasters have not ruled out an easterly shift in Alex's path.

"We all know the weather is unpredictable, and we could have a sudden last-minute change," Allen said.

Alex -- the first named storm of what is expected to be a fierce Atlantic hurricane season -- formed in the Caribbean on Saturday and had maximum sustained winds near 65 mph. It was heading toward Belize and Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.

Allen said it would take five days to evacuate more than 38,000 people and 6,000 vessels that are involved in the oil response as well as the two rigs that are collecting about 24,500 barrels of oil a day from the well, Allen said.

He told CNN there is "no playbook" when it comes to responding to a massive oil spill as a storm brews. "But I will tell you there's been an extraordinary amount of planning being done," he said.

BP plans to place a third rig called the Helix Producer at the well site next week, which will increase the amount of oil being captured to 53,000 barrels a day, Allen said. That, too, could be disrupted if Alex affects the area.

Gulf Coast residents feared that high winds and storm surges could spread the slick and push more oil ashore into bays, estuaries and pristine beaches, exacerbating the oil disaster triggered by BP's ruptured well.

"The greatest nightmare with this storm approaching is that it takes this oil on the surface of the Gulf and blows it over the barrier islands into the bays and the estuaries," Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Florida, told CNN. "And that is where you really get the enormous destruction, because it's just very difficult to clean up those pristine bays."

Americans took to beaches Saturday to protest offshore oil drilling. They held hands and formed lines in the sand.

"I believe Americans need to stand together and take our energy future back from the grip of the oil industry," said Dave Rauschkolb, a restaurant owner from Seaside, Florida, who founded Hands Across the Sand.

Deepwater drilling could resume by the end of July after U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman in New Orleans, Louisiana, on Thursday denied a request to keep a six-month moratorium imposed by President Barack Obama on May 27 in place, pending a government appeal.

The government has 30 days to show it is beginning to comply with Feldman's order and start issuing permits. The appeals process can continue, but until the appeal, the government must act as if Feldman's order will be upheld.

While protesters lined the sand, Alex moved toward Mexico, no one knowing whether it would make a sudden turn north into the open Gulf.

Meteorologist Karen Maginnis said the "preferred scenario" actually would be for Alex to head to northern Florida. That's because the oil spill has been gradually rotating counterclockwise. If the storm heads to the east of it, it would send the oil farther out to sea. If the storm heads more directly towards the central Gulf and Louisiana, it might push the oil toward Florida.

"We've never been in this situation before," Maginnis said. "We've never seen an oil spill that encompassed the Gulf like this, end up so close to shore."

A powerful storm would also complicate efforts to clean up miles of coastline.

"It's going to mean we're going to have to find a way to maneuver all our resources, change things," said Grover Robinson, chairman of the Escambia County Commission in Pensacola, Florida. "We won't be able to fight the oil for a couple of days. And we have no idea about winds and current and what it will do to the oil in the gulf. So obviously, it's a very big concern for us."

Allen said he and some top Obama administration officials, including Vice President Joe Biden, will be headed back to the Gulf region next week to assess the oil relief efforts.

But in a new blow to fishermen, Mississippi officials announced that waters east of the Gulfport shipping channel would be closed to shrimping, because of oil sighted in the area.

In one Vietnamese fishing community in Biloxi, the oil spill has been devastating.

Jennifer Le said her father has known nothing but shrimping since coming to America. He doesn't know how he would succeed in any other career and his checks from BP have not been enough.

"I mean, everything was based on the waters and now it's just, it's just gone," Le said.

Aside from state closures, the federal government has banned fishing in 78,597 square miles of the Gulf, which is about 32.5 percent of of federal waters.

Like Le, many oil-affected residents face an ominous future. But this week, there was some promising news for potentially tens of thousands of people seeking claims against BP.

Kenneth Feinberg, who is administering the $20 billion compensation fund set up by BP under White House prodding, says that people who work in support of oil rigs will be able to file claims -- and not just fishermen and businesses along the coast. Employees of businesses that brings tools to oil rigs, for example, also would be able to file a claim.

COSTNER CLEAN-UP DEVICE GETS HIGH MARKS FROM BP

Costner cleanup device gets high marks from BPCostner cleanup device gets high marks from BPCostner cleanup device gets high marks from BPIt was treated as an oddball twist in the otherwise wrenching saga of the BP oil spill when Kevin Costner stepped forward to promote a device he said could work wonders in containing the spill's damage. But as Henry Fountain explains in the New York Times, the gadget in question — an oil-separating centrifuge — marks a major breakthrough in spill cleanup technology. And BP, after trial runs with the device, is ordering 32 more of the Costner-endorsed centrifuges to aid the Gulf cleanup. 

The "Waterworld" actor has invested some $20 million and spent the past 15 years in developing the centrifuges. He helped found a manufacturing company, Ocean Therapy Solutions, to advance his brother's research in spill cleanup technology. In testimony before Congress this month, Costner walked through the device's operation—explaining how it spins oil-contaminated water at a rapid speed, so as to separate out the oil and capture it in a containment tank:

The device can purportedly take in thousands of gallons of oil-tainted water and remove up to 99% of the oil from it. On Thursday, BP posted to its YouTube page a video of the news conference featuring Costner and BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles announcing the news. You can watch the video here:

"Doug Suttles was the first guy to step up in the oil industry," Costner said at the presser, "and I'm really happy to say when he ordered 32 machines, it's a signal to the world, to the industry, where we need to be."

Suttles said the additional machines will be used to build four new deep-water systems: on two barges and two 280-foot supply boats.

"We tested it in some of the toughest environments we could find, and actually what it's done — it's quite robust," Suttles said. "This is real technology with real science behind it, and it's passed all of those tests." He added that Costner's device has proved effective at processing 128,000 barrels of water a day, which "can make a real difference to our spill response efforts."

In his congressional testimony, Costner recounted his struggle to effectively market the centrifuge. He explained that although the machines are quite effective, they can still leave trace amounts of oil in the treated water that exceeds current environmental regulations. Because of that regulatory hurdle, he said, he had great difficulty getting oil industry giants interested without first having the approval of the federal government.

[Before 'Waterworld': See Kevin Costner in the '90s]

It's true, as Fountain notes in the Times, that innovation on spill technology has been hobbled in part by the reach of federal regulation — though Fountain also notes that oil companies have elected to devote comparatively little money for researching cleanup devices in the intensely competitive industry.

Costner said that after the device was patented in 1993, he sought to overcome oil-company jitters by offering to allow U.S. oil concerns to use it on a trial basis. He'd extended the same offer to the Japanese government in 1997, he said, but got no takers there either.

Florida Gulf Oil Spill: Plans to Evacuate Tampa Bay Area Are In Place

Hernando County Political Buzz Examiner

By Maryann Tobin 

UPDATED: June 14, 2010

Gulf Oil Spill 2010: Plans to evacuate Tampa Bay area are in place.

As FEMA and other government agencies prepare for what is now being called the worst oil spill disaster in  history, plans to evacuate the Tampa Bay area are in place.

The plans would be announced in the event of a controlled burn of surface oil in the Gulf of Mexico, or if wind or other conditions are expected to take toxic fumes through Tampa Bay.

This practice has been used by the US Forestry service, when fire and smoke threaten the health and well being of people.

The elderly and those with respiratory problems would be more susceptible to health risks, in the event of a controlled burn.

Estimates of the rate of BP’s Deepwater Horizon oil spill have varied. Independent scientists now suggest that the true spill rate, before the riser pipe was cut off in June, was between 20,000 and 50,000 barrels a day.

Since the April 20th explosion, which resulted in the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon rig, there have been more than a million gallons of chemicals poured into the Gulf of Mexico in efforts to break up the spill. The chemicals have come under scrutiny  because of their own toxic nature.

It is not certain if the massive slick will have to be set on fire near Tampa Bay, but the possibility has not been ruled out.

BP has been using controlled burnes as a way to contain the oil spill since the crisis began.  Plans to do additional controlled burns around the well site were announced by Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen at a briefing in early June.

OUTRAGEOUS STATISTICS: OIL SEEPAGE AT 125,000 BARRELS A DAY=26 GALLONS PER BARREL 26X120,000=3,250,000 GALLONS PER DAY X 52 DAYS=169,000,000. THAT IS 169 MILLION GALLONS OF OIL IS IN THE GULF RIGHT NOW!!!!! THE OIL IS COVERING 40% OF THE GULF AT THIS TIME! THIS IS AN ENGINEERED ATROCITY TOO EXTRAORDINARY FOR WORDS. THEY SHOULD BE CONVICTED AND PUT TO REST!!!

This is going to blow the roof off of the scope of this disaster. This is why people are getting sick. This is why they are using Corexit in such quantities, this is why there aren't many ships out there. The radioactivity is beyond safe levels.   Remeber 'Alas, Babylon' while you read.   Lets first start with Eugene Island 330.   The mystery of Eugene Island.   Eugene island is a submerged geological feature like an underwater mountain 80 miles off the coast of Louisiana. The landscape is littered with deep fissures and faults which gush large amounts of oil and gas. A platform named Eugene Island 330 was producing 15,000 barrels of oil in the early 1970's. By the late 80's, the flow has reduced to 4,000 barrels a day. Then suddenly a mysterious thing happened. Production at Eugene Island 330 suddenly jumped back to 13,000 barrels a day. The reserve was refilled just like that. It is estimated the reserves went from 60 million barrels to 400 million barrels in a few days time. Something very strange is happening under the Gulf of Mexico.   What happened at Eugene Island supports the growing theory that oil is renewable from deep Earth processes. But don't let the general population know this. This aids to explain why the Middle East oil feilds seem to be inexhaustable.   Scientists noticed oils chemical composition did not change as fossil records had changed. Many scientist now believe oil is not created by decomposing remains of life since areas of very different ecospheres are producing oil of equal composition.   But there is much more to talk about the new discoveries of deep oil. Something very dangerous lurks in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Keep in mind the reserve Deepwater was drilling happens to be the deepest offshore reserve to date. Also keep in mind how we learned oil is sourced from deep below the Earths crust. Further down then mankind has been able to study and observe.   Helium is a naturally occurring gas formed in oil reserves. So common that helium detectors have been used to discover oil reserves. Helium is an inert gas known to be a by-product from the radiological decay of uranium and thorium. Uranium and Thorium are known to be in great quantities at greater depths. Yes, radioactive elements occur naturally and can be found and detected in trace amounts in shallow oil reserves. Oil reserves that do not produce large amounts of methane also lack uranium and thorium. The presence of methane is proportional to the presence of uranium and thorium, both radioactive elements.   Yes, you read that correctly!   The more methane that is present reflects the amount of Uranium and Thorium in the oil reserve. The deeper the oil, the younger the radiological decay is that produces helium. The Eugene Island 330 rig was replenished showing deep oil is resupllying the more shallow oil reserves in the Gulf of Mexico just off the coast of Louisiana.   http://www.sanfordundergroundlaboratoryathomestake. org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=100% 3Auranium-thorium-neutrino-research-could-determine-earths- age-energy-production&catid=21%3Aother-news&Itemid=6     "The energy coming from uranium and thorium decay is thought to be the most significant energy source inside the earth," Tolich said. "So this is the driving engine for things such as tectonic plate movements, volcanoes and earthquake. We are looking for neutrinos, particularly electron antineutrinos ... coming from uranium and thorium decay inside the earth. The uranium and thorium is distributed all through the earth in the mantle. One part in 10 million of the earth's mass is thought to be made of uranium and thorium.     That is correct! There is a large feed from Deep Earth just off the coast of Louisiana. Does this ring any bells? Give you the idea of the scope of the disaster yet?   Deep Earth oil is flooding to the surface and it is contaminated with uranium and thorium. During the Gulf War the Gulf Syndrome is speculated to be caused by the expulsion of Uranium and Thorium from the wells opened up by Saddam Hussein. Similar symptoms of illness are now beginning to occur at the Deepwater Horizon spill site and the resulting oil slick.   It is my conclusion, the oil from Deepwater is Deep Earth oil with elevated levels of radioactivity from Uranium and Thorium that hasn't had the time to decay.   Links to papers...   http://www.pnas.org/content/99/17/10976.fullmaxtoshow=&HITS=10& hits=10&RESULTFORMAT=&fulltext=genesis+of+hydrocarbons+and+ the+origin+of+petroleum&searchid=1085470440708_510&stored_search=&FIRSTINDEX=0     Credit source link to Godlike Productions...   http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message1104630/pg1

How The BP Disaster Could Kill Millions
By Terrence Aym
6-18-10

 

Disturbing evidence is mounting that something frightening is happening deep under the waters of the Gulf of Mexico-something far worse than theBP oil gusher.   Warnings were raised as long as a year before the Deepwater Horizondisaster that the area of seabed chosen by the BP geologists might be unstable, or worse, inherently dangerous.   What makes the location that Transocean chose potentially far riskier than other potential oil deposits located at other regions of the Gulf? It can be summed up with two words: methane gas.   The same methane that makes coal mining operations hazardous and leads to horrendous mining accidents deep under the earth also can present a high level of danger to certain oil exploration ventures.   Location of Deepwater Horizon oil rig was criticized   More than 12 months ago some geologists rang the warning bell that the Deepwater Horizon exploratory rig might have been erected directly over a huge underground reservoir of methane.   Documents from several years ago indicate that the subterranean geologic formation may contain the presence of a huge methane deposit.   None other than the engineer who helped lead the team to snuff the Gulf oilfires set by Saddam Hussein to slow the advance of American troops has stated that a huge underground lake of methane gas-compressed by a pressure of 100,000 pounds per square inch (psi)-could be released by BP's drilling effort to obtain the oil deposit.    Current engineering technology cannot contain gas that is pressurized to 100,000 psi.   By some geologists' estimates the methane could be a massive 15 to 20 mile toxic and explosive bubble trapped for eons under the Gulf sea floor. In their opinion, the explosive destruction of the Deepwater Horizon wellhead was an accident just waiting to happen.   Yet the disaster that followed the loss of the rig pales by comparison to the apocalyptic disaster that may come.   A cascading catastrophe   According to worried geologists, the first signs that the methane may burst its way through the bottom of the ocean would be fissures or cracks appearing on the ocean floor near the damaged well head.   Evidence of fissures opening up on the seabed have been captured by the robotic submersibles working to repair and contain the ruptured well. Smaller, independent plumes have also appeared outside the nearby radius of the bore hole itself.   According to some geological experts, BP's operations set into motion a series of events that may be irreversible. Step-by-step the drilling   team committed one error after another.   Congressmen Henry Waxman, D-CA, and Bart Stupak, D-MI, in a letter sent to BP CEO Tony Hayward, identified 5 missteps made by BP during the period culminating with the explosion.   Waxman, chair of the Congressional energy panel and Stupak, the head of the subcommittee on oversight and investigations, said, "The common feature of these five decisions is that they posed a trade-off between cost and well safety."   The two Representatives also stated in the 14-page letter to Hayward that "Time after time, it appears that BP made decisions that increased the risk of a blowout to save the company time or expense."     Called by some insiders investigating the ongoing disaster a "perfect storm of catastrophe," the wellhead blew on the sea floor catapulting a stream of mud, oil and gas upwards at the speed of sound.   In describing the events-that transpired in a matter of seconds-they note that immediately following the rupture the borehole pipe's casing blew away exposing a straight line 8 miles deep for the pressurized gas to escape. The result was cavitation, an irregular pressure variance sometimes experience by deep diving vessels such as nuclear submarines. This cavitation created a supersonic bubble of explosive methane gas that resulted in a supersonic explosion killing 11 men and completely annihilating the drilling platform.    Death from the depths   With the emerging evidence of fissures, the quiet fear now is the methane bubble rupturing the seabed and exploding into the Gulf waters. If the bubble escapes, every ship, drilling rig and structure within the region of the bubble will instantaneously sink. All the workers, engineers, Coast Guard personnel and marine biologists measuring the oil plumes' advance will instantly perish.    As horrible as that is, what would follow is an event so potentially horrific that it equals in its fury the Indonesian tsunami that killed more than 600,000, or the destruction of Pompeii by Mt. Vesuvius.   The ultimate Gulf disaster, however, would make even those historical horrors pale by comparison. If the huge methane bubble breaches the seabed, it will erupt with an explosive fury similar to that experienced during the eruption of Mt. Saint Helens in the Pacific Northwest. A gas gusher will surge upwards through miles of ancient sedimentary rock-layer after layer-past the oil reservoir. It will explode upwards propelled by 50 tons psi, burst through the cracks and fissures of the compromised sea floor, and rupture miles of ocean bottom with one titanic explosion.     The burgeoning methane gas cloud will surface, killing everything it touches, and set off a supersonic tsunami with the wave traveling somewhere between 400 to 600 miles per hour.   While the entire Gulf coastline is vulnerable, the state most exposed to the fury of a supersonic wave towering 100 feet or more is Florida. The Sunshine State only averages about 6 inches above sea level. A supersonic tsunami would literally sweep away everything from Miami to the panhandle in a matter of minutes. Loss of human life would be virtually instantaneous and measured in the millions. Of course the states of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and southern region of Georgia-a state with no Gulf coastline-would also experience tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of casualties.   Loss of property is virtually incalculable and the days of the US position as the world's superpower would be literally gone in a flash...of detonating methane.    http://www.helium.com/items/1864136-how-the-ultimate-bp-gulf-disaster-could-kill-millions

Locals In Key West Fearing Worst Of Oil Spill, CBS 4 Miami, June 14, 2010:

Next to the Hogfish [restaurant near downtown Key West] sits a pier that is usually full of shrimp boats. But on Monday, CBS4’s Gio Benitez found only one boat docked there.

The last time Hogfish manager Tim Dion saw all the shrimping boats was three to four weeks ago. The boats would always bring fresh shrimp from the Gulf…

According to this CBS4 report, shrimpers left the Key West area by May 25.

This is precisely the time that “about 12 miles north of Dry Tortugas, the crew on the Mattie Fay hauled up their shrimp catch and got oil,” according to a May 24 report in the Naples Daily News.

“Tar balls were tangled in their nets with the shrimp. There was tar on the shrimp, tar on their boots, tar on their gloves.”

The boat’s captain said, “Now, we’re leaving. I seen the sign of that tar out there the other day and I don’t want to get trapped.”

Apparently the other shrimpers saw the signs as well.

Tropical storm could form in Atlantic
