2012-04-30 to 05-03 Grand
Isle, LA -- SPECIAL REPORT. Two years later on the Gulf Coast:
It's not the same, it's worse [subscription web page],
waynemadsenreport.com [Editor's Note: special thanks to Wayne
Madsen for doing such great work. His website is well worth the
subscription price].
Two
years after the Deepwater Horizon disaster, the situation at what
was and still is the coastal "Ground Zero" for the oil
deluge, Grand Isle, Louisiana, is not merely the same, but worse.
This once thriving center for commercial and sport fishing as
well as numerous wildlife refuges, has not come back from the
disastrous effects of the April 2010 BP oil catastrophe and locals
here, who are experiencing increasing health problems, all agree
that their situation remains perilous.
No
longer the center of worldwide media attention, as it was after
the oil disaster, residents of this five-mile long island feel
abandoned by the state of Louisiana, the federal government, and
the BP lawyers who all promised quick compensation for lost wages
and business.
Not
evident just after the oil deluge, the oil and use of the oil
dispersant Corexit are now beginning to affect the marine food
chain. It takes two to five years before the environmental effects
in marine life born with deformities and diseases arising from
the environmental toxins introduced into the ecological system
can be seen.
In
addition to shrimp being born with no or four eyes, ulcerated
tumors are now being seen in shrimp hauls from the Gulf. According
to Dean Blanchard, the president of Blanchard Seafood Company,
which has been in business for three generations of his family,
one out of every twenty shrimp being caught by his fishing boats,
which ply the waters between Key West, Florida and Brownsville,
Texas and the waters in between, are found to have ulcerated tumors.
In addition, Blanchard says that female shrimp are not dropping
their egg sacs and many females are being caught with the sacs
still attached.
Blanchard
is afraid that after his firm being in business for three generations,
and lacking any compensation from BP, he may have to permanently
shut down his business in two months. As far as Louisiana state
officials, including Republican Governor Bobby Jindal, a possible
running mate for presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney,
Blanchard says "they've all been bought off by BP."
Shortly after the oil spill, Jindal visited Grand Isle and ate
some local seafood and proclaimed it fit to eat. The residents
and fishermen of the island know better.
One
local part-time resident insisted that she will never again eat
Louisiana seafood. Her thoughts are shared by many in the state
who know that much of the Gulf seafood is tainted regardless of
what is said by Jindal or the state tourism and fish and wildlife
officials. Even laboratories used by the state and other businesses
to test the seafood from the Gulf are not trusted, with charges
that marine biology laboratories at Louisiana State University
and Tulane have been "bought and paid for" by BP. Even
doctors in the area, according to local residents, have been co-opted
by BP to diagnose severe respiratory and other ailments suffered
by residents as not being from the effects of the BP oil disaster.
Currently,
BP is running TV commercials in northeastern U.S. and other targeted
tourist markets in which performers, ostensibly in Louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, proclaim that the Gulf seafood
is great, the beaches and water are fine, and the music is great.
While no one would argue about the quality of the music here during
the annual New Orleans Jazz Festival, the same claim does not
hold true for the seafood and beaches.
Tar
balls are still washing ashore on the beach at Grand Isle. The
local residents are sure that the oil still arising from the floor
of the Gulf is the result of the spraying of Corexit into the
Gulf waters. They maintain that BP's only goal was to eliminate
the oil sheen from the water surface. The use of Corexit sank
the oil to the water's sub-surface and ocean floor, the latter
where the marine food chain begins. What infuriates Grand Islanders
even more is the fact that the U.S. military was involved in dumping
Corexit into the Gulf and the U.S. Coast Guard acted as a virtual
law enforcement arm working on behalf of BP to deter journalists,
environmental activists, and others from poking around in Gulf
waters, beaches, and estuaries after the disaster.
A
number of Grand Isle residents believe that BP was only interested
in hiding the oil and not cleaning it up from the Gulf. The outcome
of BP's decision is now showing up in the food chain, with shrimp,
crabs, and fish showing the effects of the damage done to the
ocean floor and the entire food chain. Humans, at the top of that
food chain, continue to experience respiratory and other medical
problems from the BP oil well blowout.
BP
has reacted to the current situation by continuing its cover-up
operations, not only in the Gulf waters but also ashore. With
dead fish, marine mammals, and birds continuing to wash ashore
at Grand Isle, BP, every early morning at around 3:00 am, dispatches
plowing and tilling tractors to run up and down the five-mile
long beach to pick up the dead animals and grind up the tar balls
and mix them in with the sand. Intact shells are no longer found
on the beach -- they are pulverized to the point where they have
the appearance of small white soap flakes. BP has constructed
a sand berm between the beach and the road in what appears to
be an attempt to hide the early-morning beach plowing and dead
animal retrieval activity from public view. However, a few visitors
who venture out to the beach at 3:00 am have witnessed the BP-run
operations.
Just
two weeks ago, Blanchard's fishermen recovered from the Gulf a
boulder-sized tar ball. BP insists tar balls like it and smaller
ones that wash ashore at Grand Isle and other islands and bayous
every day are not from the Deepwater Horizon blow out but from
"seepage" form other firms' wells and industrial run-off
from the Mississippi River. When asked bout BP's statements, Blanchard
laughed and replied, "If they're not from BP, they must be
from Mars then."
After
the oil disaster, BP teams descended, along with the media, to
places like Grand Isle, and handed out some quick cash to the
fishermen and other residents who were hired as part of the BP
disaster recovery team. The motels and fish camps on the island
were packed with BP workers and media. The restaurants and bars
saw a surge in business. However, two years later, Anderson Cooper,
Brian Williams, Oprah Winfrey, and other non-journalist media
celebrities are no longer to be found in Grand Isle and its surroundings.
For
Steve Chevalier, the owner of the Tropical Motel, business is
way off. Like many other business owners on Grand Isle, Chevalier
has not seen any compensation from BP.
BP
is also denying claims to a number of shrimpers and fishermen
who were, in many cases, paid their salaries in cash. BP claims
that without a W-2 form on record, these workers are ineligible
for compensation for lost wages.
Hungry
tort lawyers from New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Lafayette, Louisiana
continue to offer their services to Louisiana Gulf residents to
work claims against BP that will see lucrative contingency payments
to the lawyers, if they are successful in getting any money out
of BP for their clients. Grand Isle residents, suffering from
lost work and poor health, show signs of post-traumatic stress
syndrome, with many sapped of their drive and exasperated at the
situation in which they find themselves two years later.
However,
the government is not interested in pressing BP for compensation
to the residents, businesses, and laborers of Grand Isle. The
recent federal indictment of BP engineer Kurt Mix on obstruction
charges for deleting deleting some 300 e-mails and text messages
to his superiors about the true amount of oil coming from the
Deepwater Horizon blowout has more to do with the government trying
to claim money for itself in Clear Water Act violation fines than
in trying to see the largely Cajun population of Grand Isle and
vicinity getting their piece of the compensation pie. Mix estimated
the spill flow rate as high as 146,000 barrels a day compared
to BP's stated rate of 5000 barrels a day. The federal government
is only interested in flipping Mix as a witness for the federal
prosecutors in order to retrieve almost $22 billion with a top
fine of $4300 per barrel of leaked oil using the 146,000 barrel
a day estimate. According to informed Grand Isle residents, BP's
fine is expected to be only $1200 per barrel of leaked oil.
Blanchard,
a feisty Cajun, looks to the history of the Cajuns or Acadians
in their current battle against BP or British Petroleum. During
the French and Indian War of the 18th century, the British took
over Acadia, in what was part of French Canada. After the Acadians
refused to swear allegiance to the British monarchy, the British
deported them to what is now Louisiana. The Acadians became `Cajuns'
with their own distinct culture and patois. Blanchard said the
Cajuns will refuse to run again from the British. As far as the
U.S. government is concerned, Blanchard declared that the "government
treats the Cajuns with no respect." `In Brazil,' where BP
had another oil spill, "the Brazilian government threatened
to hold BP officials there hostage until they paid compensation,"
Blanchard said. `Our government should've done the same thing,'
Blanchard declared."

2010-09-15 Gulf
oil spill: After it hit beaches, where did it go?
Some crude from the Gulf oil spill has seeped into
the sand. It may be altering ecosystems – 'for all time,'
one expert says. by Mark Guarino.
"Oil that remains trapped under a marsh or buried beneath
a beach is particularly threatening because the lack of oxygen
will prevent bacteria from breaking down the oil, meaning “it
will be there for all time,” says Nancy Kinner, codirector
of The Coastal Response Research Center at the University of New
Hampshire in Durham. Twenty-one years after the Valdez spill,
oil remains submerged in the beaches of Prince William Sound in
Alaska.
The same is true in Massachusetts’ Buzzards Bay, where a
1969 spill released 175,000 gallons of diesel fuel; 41 years later,
sampling shows oil three to eight inches below the land’s
surface.
When oil gets buried that deep, says Ms. Kinner, it creates a
“trade-off” to mitigate, especially when it involves
a fragile habitat, like the coastal wetlands, whose survival is
already threatened.
“Is it better to leave it there than to dig up the whole
marsh? Because when you dig up the whole marsh, you do a tremendous
amount of damage. You’ll never get the marsh back,”
she says.
The risks of having oil hidden so deep below the surface are numerous.
Among them: Drinking water is degraded; the food chain is affected
because organisms like mussels and crustaceans are threatened;
and animals such as sea turtles have no place to bury their eggs.
Oil that makes its home below sand is also vulnerable to seasonal
storms, which means it is potentially mobile and can represent
“a new release of oil into the environment” when it
returns to the freshwater table, Kinner says..."

was 'actually removed from the ocean.'" That's one of the
more "pessimistic" estimates thus far, and comes from
an oceanographer at Florida State University. It's also "wildly
at odds with what the feds have been saying--that as much as 75
of the oil is gone."

tests from the Louisiana coast reveal human health threats from
the oil disaster by Sue Sturgis, FACINGSOUTH,
The Institute For Southern Studies:
Today the Louisiana Environmental Action Network released its analysis of air monitoring test results by the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA's air testing data comes from Venice, a coastal community 75 miles south of New Orleans in Louisiana's Plaquemines Parish.
The findings show that levels of airborne chemicals have far exceeded state standards and what's considered safe for human exposure.
For instance, hydrogen sulfide has been detected at concentrations more than 100 times greater than the level known to cause physical reactions in people. Among the health effects of hydrogen sulfide exposure are eye and respiratory irritation as well as nausea, dizziness, confusion and headache.
The concentration threshold for people to experience physical symptoms from hydrogen sulfide is about 5 to 10 parts per billion. But as recently as last Thursday, the EPA measured levels at 1,000 ppb. The highest levels of airborne hydrogen sulfide measured so far were on May 3, at 1,192 ppb.

of the red tide! U.S. Coast Guard says 10-mile-long trail of algae

Hutchinson, New York Daily News
"A
10-mile-long ribbon of red tide was spotted in New York Harbor
Monday, and the U.S. Coast Guard warned swimmers and boaters to
steer clear of it.
The
bloom of algae - which can cause breathing problems and eye irritation
- stretched from the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum in the Hudson
River out to Hoffman Island, off Staten Island, officials said.
"Stay
away from it and anything in it," said Coast Guard spokesman
Charles Rowed.
The
red tide was spotted around 7 a.m. - first reported as a red or
brownish sheen on the water - and was drifting out to sea, officials
said.
The
Coast Guard issued the warning as a precaution shortly after a
crew from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Conservation
checked it out.
The
outbreak is caused by the rapid blooming of a type of algae known
as phytoplankton, which contains toxins that sometimes deprive
fish and shellfish of oxygen..."

heard of any "red algae" attacks. I did, however, observe
the "wise guy" New York-based major media --to include

plume, that boaters in NY harbor should avoid, is just "red
algae"?!? Does this assertion merit the stereotypical New

by certain Federal and city authorities that the 9/11 site did
not have any air pollution problems? Please note how thousands

fish are washing up in Virginia as well as Delaware and Massachusetts.
Normally sea gulls feed on dead fish, but there is obviously something
very wrong with these large masses of dead fish that is causing
sea gulls to avoid them. Could it be Corexit poisoning, combined
with a vast underwater river of oil and gas-toxified ocean water
being carried by the Gulf Stream towards Europe?

kill in Delaware Bay attributed to warm water by
Joe Tyrrell, newjerseynewsroom.com. "The state Department
of Environmental Protection has been unable to definitively identify
the cause of a major fish kill [of mehaden] in Delaware Bay, but
is continuing to investigate...In the modern era, menhaden are
the major component of fishmeal, fed to chickens and farm-raised
fish. Menhaden are also major sources of bait used in recreational
fishing. They are commonly caught in large purse seines..In his
2007 book of the same name, Rutgers Professor H. Bruce Franklin
labeled menhaden "The Most Important Fish of the Sea,"
calling the fish "the living keystone of the marine ecology
of the Atlantic and Gulf coast," from Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula
to Nova Scotia...The DEP has theorized that predators could have
driven large schools of small menhaden close to shore, where they
depleted the supply of dissolved oxygen in the water. But initial
water samples taken Aug. 11 showed acceptable oxygen levels, the
DEP confirmed."

Oil Spill Could Spread to Atlantic Coast, by Betsy
Mason, Wired Science
Six
different scenarios — one is shown in the video above —
were run through the computer simulation. In all of them, the
oil eventually gets entrained into the Gulf Stream and reaches
the Atlantic coast, traveling north at speeds up to 100 miles
a day as far north as Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, before heading
east into the open ocean. The main differences between the scenarios
are in the timing of the oil’s movement.
“We
have been asked if and when remnants of the spill could reach
the European coastlines,” team member Martin Visbeck of
the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences at Kiel University in
Germany said in the press release. “Our assumption is that
the enormous lateral mixing in the ocean together with the biological
disintegration of the oil should reduce the pollution to levels
below harmful concentrations. But we would like to have this backed
up by numbers from some of the best ocean models.”
The
NCAR-led simulation was performed on supercomputers based at the
New Mexico Computer Applications Center and Oak Ridge National
Laboratory. The scientists caution that the study, which has yet
to be peer-reviewed and published, is not a forecast and is based
on movement of a virtual dye that doesn’t resemble oil in
some ways. The study also doesn’t take into account factors
such as chemical breakdown and degradation of the oil or whether
the oil will remain as a slick on the surface, coagulate or mix
into the subsurface.

Corbyn Returns: The Cold Truth of What is to Come in 2011

of weatheraction.com
claims he predicted in May 2010 a super cold winter looking at
solar, lunar, and other gravitational factors outside of the oil
pollution factors related to the BP-Gulf Catastrophe. This provides
an interesting counterpoint to the thesis
of Italian astrophysicist Dr. Giangluigi Zangari presented by
the Lord Stirling
blogspot that the a primary driver in changed climatic conditions
involves the oil pollution in the Gulf of Mexico which appears
to have broken the Gulf Loop Current. Of course Mr. Corbyn's view
does not necessarily contradict Lord Stirling (Tim Alexander);
it is possible that both gravitational factors and a
broken Loop Current are contributing towards an unusually cold
winter in Europe. It is also possible that Corbyn's viewpoint
is being promoted to give "plausible deniabily" to the
outcome of "black ops" staged by malevolent globalists
who have in fact deliberately broken the Loop Current and wish
to keep the public in the dark.
2010-12-21 Urgent
Update 21st DEC - Death of the Gulf Stream -- Europe to Go Into
a Mini Ice Age?? Video (21:11) Dr. Deagle interview
with Tim Alexander (Lord Stirling). According to Alexander, the
Gulf Stream, which is no longer being adequately heated by the
former Loop Current in the Gulf (apparently broken by a vast underwater
lake of oil that extends hundreds of miles from a still flowing
"oil and gas volcano" in the fractured sear floor),
no longer has adequate heat to steer jet streams. Nor can the
Gulf Stream feed adequate warm water to sustain the old North
Atlantic Current. Alexander claims that all of this has resulted
in "weird oscillations" in air currents over Europe
since last summer. This has even altered complex and interdependent
weather systems around the planet. This may have been the cause
of the unusual summer heat in Russia, unusual
flooding in Pakistan, and snow fall in Australia in places
never seen before. Alexander claims that mainstream media are
covering up for BP by promoting misleading explanations for the
unusual weather patterns. (We have seen meteorological "experts"
act as disinformation agents before in mainstream media with the
global warming hoax. See discussion of the "Climategate PSYOP"
in Chapter
38 of the Mission of Conscience series). If Alexander
is correct, altered climatic conditions may severely disrupt global
agriculture and cause not only severe food shortages, but also
extended cold winters in Europe. This in turn creates a special
sense of urgency to implement new technologies that can clean
up enough of the vast amounts of oil in the Gulf of Mexico to
restore the Loop Current.

False Global Warming Alarmism: The Gulf Stream Is Going To Stop

dubious concerns about how ice sheet melting might impact on the

[Editor's Note: I am always open to the idea that certain BP-Gulf

wolf, or disinformation agents might deliberately plant "wild
stories" among dissidents and whistleblowers in effort to
discredit that which is all too real (for example mass accounts

2012-09-27 The
Gulf Stream Has Stopped by John R. Moore, thelibertyman.com
Ladies
and Gentlemen,
This
is the second most important event in the past 2,000 years. Please
read on.
I
first published my concerns about the Gulf Stream being at risk
of stopping in my 2005 paper "No Need For Panic". At
that point in time I had been aware of the Gulf Stream being at
risk of stopping for a couple of years. On November 27, 2005,
the scientific community admitted that the Gulf Stream had lost
thirty percent (30%) of its mass and velocity. The same press
release stated that the computer models were estimating that the
Gulf Stream would stop in 5 to 20 years, that is before 2025 –
well within our lifetimes.
On
June 12, 2010, the Gulf Stream stopped.
A
bit of explanation is in order:
First,
the Gulf Stream moves (used to move) warm water from the Caribbean
Sea and Gulf of Mexico to the western side of Europe.
The
Gulf Stream (so-named by Benjamin Franklin in the 18th century)
has a number of other names: The North Atlantic Thermohaline Conveyor,
The Loop Current, (Actually the Loop Current is the name of that
portion of the Gulf Stream which makes a “loop” in
the Gulf of Mexico. It was disrupted and lost its connection with
the Gulf Stream after the BP spill and the Corexit, thus breaking
the connection of the warm Gulf of Mexico water with the rest
of the Gulf Stream. Matt Simmons may have been killed for revealing
too much about the problems of the consequences of the BP oil
spill and the shut down of the Loop Current, The Conveyor, and
others. This river of warm water moving through the colder North
Atlantic Ocean begins in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean.
It is a continuous current moving around our planet, which does
not really “begin” anywhere. It exists rounding the
Southern tip of Africa, and crosses the South Atlantic, with some
of it moving south of Cuba and into the Gulf of Mexico and another
part moving up East of Florida and then, it moves up the Atlantic
coast of Florida until it gets to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina,
and then it turned east across the Atlantic Ocean towards northern
Europe.
Up
until June 12, 2010, it continued east to the British Isles where
it split with part going north to warm Iceland with the rest going
south warming Scotland, Ireland, England, France, Spain and Portugal.
Now it goes a couple of hundred miles east of Cape Hatteras, North
Carolina, and stops! (Here’s the image to see the U.S. Navy
map of the North Atlantic, which depicts water temperatures and
placed a large yellow arrow pointing to the stopping point of
the Gulf Stream. This Sea Surface Temperature Map is updated daily
by the U.S. Navy at website: www.fnmoc.navy.mil/public/
.)
Second,
the Gulf Stream affects the atmosphere up to seven miles above
the Gulf Stream. At that altitude, you are in the Jet Stream.
The Jet Steam is the 200 miles per hour wind that has tremendous
impact on weather in the Northern Hemisphere.
Let
me explain how credible physicists have verified the importance
of the Gulf Stream shutting down.
In
the middle of July 2010, one of my research team forwarded an
article by Dr. Gianluigi Zangari PhD. Dr. Zangari (who works with
the prestigious Research Division of the National Institute of
Nuclear Physics at Frascati National Laboratories of the National
Institute of Nuclear Physics in Italy), is part of a team of scientists
in Europe and North America that have been studying and monitoring
the Gulf Stream for over nine
years. I turned this information over to another member of my
team, Dr. Bill Deagle M.D. (Bill’s website is WWW.NUTRIMEDICAL.COM)
Dr. Deagle contacted Dr. Zangari. Over the next ten to fourteen
days there were telephone conversations, E-mails, and we (Dr.
Deagle, Ms. Ann Morrison [Ann's website is: WWW.HOMELANDDEFENSE4U.COM]
and I) even interviewed Dr. Zangari live on the Genesis Radio
Network. I felt privileged to be part of that interview.
During
the first few days of our discussion with Dr. Zangari, he was
telling us that the Gulf Stream was at risk of stopping. He had
new data coming in daily from his various sources:
- Real time satellite data from Jason
- TOPEX/Poseidon
- Geosat Follow-On (GFO)

Horizon oil could reach Atlantic Ocean: Oil released by
the Deepwater Horizon spill could reach the western North Atlantic
Ocean by November. That’s according to researchers from
the US and Germany who have modelled the transport of dye from
the site.
“`It
is likely that small amounts of either oil or an oil-water-dispersant
mixture will, at some time in the six months or so following the
spill, make its way into the Gulf Stream and the North Atlantic,'
Mat Maltrud of Los Alamos National Laboratory, US, told environmentalresearchweb.
`In order to detect this, it would be necessary to make multiple
sensitive measurements below the surface, for example in the Florida
Straits, since concentrations will be low and mitigation efforts
have been concentrated at the surface of the ocean.'
Maltrud
was keen to stress, however, that the model does not predict oil
washing up on the eastern shores of North America or reaching
Europe in detectable amounts. Instead, the calculations indicate
that the oil will become extremely diluted in a region centred
around the Gulf Stream in the North Atlantic..."

viewpoint than the one presented by top insider Matt Simmons before
his untimely death or the web sites Alexander Higgins Blog, Florida

North Carolina then on to the North Sea and Iceland. And beyond
the damage to the beaches, sea life and water supplies, the Gulf
stream has a very distinct chemistry, composition (marine organisms),
density, temperature. What happens if the oil and the dispersants
and all the toxic compounds they create actually change the nature
of the Gulf Stream? No one can rule out potential changes including
changes in the path of the Gulf Stream, and even small changes
could have huge impacts. Europe, including England, is not an

Stream's role in warming questioned; Arctic fresh water in current

AP. Written in 2007, this article suggests that there could be
other factors that contribute towards a cold winter in Europe
or reduced flow from the Gulf Stream besides the BP-Gulf Catastrophe.
"Scientists expect the flow [of the North Atlantic current]
to taper off in coming decades by up to 50 percent as Greenland’s
melting ice sheet releases freshwater into the north Atlantic,
slowing the main pump that drives what is known as the ocean conveyor
belt — the global circulation of currents."

Gulf Oil Gusher: Butterfly Effect, Edge of Chaos & World Wide
Summit? by DK Matai "According to the US based
National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), oil from the
Gulf of Mexico may pass through to the mid-Atlantic ocean by this
summer due to ocean currents. NCAR scientists' powerful computer
simulation shows how the liquid released at the damaged "Macondo"
well disperses and circulates, producing results that are independent
of the total amount released. While ocean currents are shallow
level circulations, the Great Ocean Conveyor Belt is global circulation
which extends to the depths of the seas. Also called the thermohaline
circulation, it is driven by differences in the density of the
sea water which is controlled by its thermo or temperature, and
its haline or salinity. Floating and submerged oil as well as
the release of gases like Methane in vast quantities may alter
both those parameters. What happens if some aspects of this step-by-step
variation begin to extend to all the oceans?"

Dogs Won't Drink the Rainwater by Tony Blizzard,

"Most
of this week it has been raining where I live. [Arkansas]...
...They

this fresh rain water after a lick or a smell. Not even where
it was still running freely. Finally we hit a spot, a little deeper

But he soon ended up biting at the water before climbing out of

On

mop bucket I have set to catch rain water off the roof. But they
drank very little from it today even though they were obviously
thirsty.
Finally,
after being in the house for some time, they drank from the well
water bucket I keep in the house for them. Now I'll have to watch
how they approach the well water the next few days as these rains
work their way through the earth into my well. If my well is contaminated

James Fetzer interview with Charles Pegelow, Structural Engineer
(transcript). (MP3 Download Here.)
Dr. Fetzer: Yes, that mile deep water makes a huge, huge
difference in terms of how much room to maneuver and your options,
I presume.
Pegelow: On land, it just tends to stay within
your county, or something, but in the ocean -- [it can spread].
Then the other potential thing is temperatures in that reservoir
are 400 degrees. So you wouldn't want some type of blowout, all
that pressures released. You actually would have some kind of
cavern and have water sucked down in there. At 400 degrees, it
would flash into steam, and then you really would have an explosion.
I had no idea how bad it would be or anything like that but I
am reminded, I don't know if you ever recall 1883 the Krakatoa
Volcano that blew up and was heard around the world.
Dr. Fetzer: Yes, yes. Very famous, yes.
Pegelow: On that, the magma chamber blew open,
but really I forgot how many cubic miles of dirt blown into the
atmosphere, the earth's temperature dropped over the next three
years a degree and a half. Once that magma chamber opened up,
all the sea water rushed in and this flashed into steam and the
potential from what I read from geologists, is this was equivalent
to something like a thousand Hiroshima bombs going off.

Lies: Americans Not Getting Truth About Gulf Gusher,
by James Traficant, American Free Press, June 28, 2010

"Eventually,
after several billion barrels of oil have been released, the massive
cavity beneath the ocean floor will begin to normalize, allowing
water to be forced naturally into the huge cavity where the oil
was. The temperature in that cavity is 400 degrees, at minimum.
The incoming water will be vaporized and turned into steam, creating
an enormous force, which will actually lift the gulf floor.
One
thing is certain: A massive tsunami wave between 20 to 80 feet
high will be created while gravity forces the gulf floor to fall
into the cavity. This is how nature seals the hole. Everything
within 200 miles is in grave danger.
Man
drilled the hole, but nature will seal it, if man fails to do

Landau: The cap does not really matter. Whether
it is there or not there, that is not the solution. It is irrelevant
at best. Smoke and mirrors. It is making people feel happy about
what they are seeing. People are focusing on the cap -- that is
not the solution. The solution is to drill the eight relief wells,
and if you start drilling one and it goes into a blown out area
formation, fill it in instantly. Don't continue drilling with
it. Start a new one and keep expanding that zone. I would start
1,500 feet away from an existing well. If that is too close, move
out to 2,500 feet. Repressurize the zone. Haul all the oil and
gas out of that area and keep the oil and gas running until the
pressure in that zone drops to 2,300 psi which is the weight of
sea water, and the sea water will seep it down. So you need to
keep pumping and keep extracting the oil and gas from that area,
recognize that the well is destroyed. Forget it, recognize it.
It is everybody's fault. It is Halliburton, it is BP, it is Schlumberger,
it is Transocean, it is all of them. They should all
be sued from here to kingdom come. It is all of their fault. And
just recognize that and forget it. Move on, and just do the thing
that you can do, the only thing you can do, is depressurize
the area.

BP is readying a ’super weapon’ to avert escalating
Gulf nightmare by Terrence Aym, helium.com, also
archive PrisonPlanet.com.
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 detonate 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.
Sea floor compromised
Reports still indicate that methane is flooding the Gulf waters at a rate one million times more than normal, and the NOAA research vessel, Thomas Jefferson has reported spotting new fissures. [1]
Last week the science ship stunned some reporters with the revelation that the oceanographic team had discovered and measured a rift in the ocean floor miles from the BP wellhead. The rift was reported to be more than 100 feet long and widening. Oil and methane continues to plume from that rift.
BP has also admitted damage beneath the sea floor. [2]
The Omega plan
Most enterprises—whether business, government, or exploration—have a Plan B to fall back on. To date, BP has attempted Plans B through N. Yet it is the last ditch plan-the Omega plan-that hold the greatest risk. Yet that plan may be the final hope to stop what some insiders now consider a catastrophe that could culminate with a world-killing mass extinction event that modern civilization could not survive...

Citizen Action
and Activist Solutions
Overcoming
Corruption of Certain "Predator"
or "Alien" Power Elites
We
need to restore the Bill of Rights and other elements of the U.S.
Constitution in areas suffering from BP Police State suppression
along Gulf Coast -- we must expel this new "British invasion."
This is in fact the first overt British invasion of American
sovereignty since the Battle of New Orleans -- which includes
mercenary
forces in black fatigues!
As
a first step towards reducing criminal government at the highest
levels, we need to impeach Obama, an Indonesian citizen, unconstitutional
"illegal alien" president, Mossad-CIA asset, and stooge
of BP. Please see my Obama
Nation web page, which links to research by former U.S. Navy
and NSA intelligence officer Wayne Madsen about Obama's Mossad-CIA
background. See also Chapter
35 of my Mission of Conscience series. Please also see the
web site of activist attorney Philip J. Berg at obamacrimes.com.
Berg has filed law suits and lead citizen protest demonstrations
in an effort to get this "imposter" removed from office.
Obama has absolutely no constitutional authority or legitimacy
whatsoever. None. Zero.
We
also need to monitor and indict high level criminal mafias behind
the spill for mass murder and other atrocities, and boycott their
corporate and banking holdings.
Part
of overcoming corruption involves preventing the shutdown of the
Internet by the Obama Administration, which has threatened to
flip a "kill switch," and also overriding official corruption
that seeks to thwart honest investigations of criminal activity,
such as the deliberate bomb explosion reported by Officer Jack
McLamb 24 June 2010
Alex Jones interview with Officer Jack McLamb. (MP3
Download Here.).
For more on threats to the First Amendment,
please see the Rev. Ted Pike archive.
File law suits. The wheels of justice may turn slowly,
and be expensive, but litigation can be another valuable tool
for going after BP and allied malefactors. The 19 June 2010 article
BP
oil leak: now partner company says firm was 'reckless' as PR disaster
gets worse by Philip Sherwell, Alex Hannaford
and James Quinn, telegraph.co.uk. "Companies from as far
afield as Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and Tampa, Florida have
already filed for damages - even though neither area has been
directly impacted by the oil."
Grass
Roots Organizing and Consciousness-Raising
We
need to put pressure on BP and service companies to release all
their data, to include mud logs. Before anyone can intelligently
apply any kind of strategy to try to contain, control,
or stop the oil-gas volcano, one requires the most accurate data
possible regarding the various strata that BP has penetrated,
to include their composition, and whether or not BP has already
damaged various strata and other geological formations (in his
Rense interview, geologist Chris Landau maintains that BP over-pressurized
its drilling mud and has damaged numerous strata, making it much
more difficult, if not impossible, to successfully use a relief
well that tries to cement in the original drill hole). The fact
that Schlumberger refuses to release the mud logs might be viewed
as criminal obfuscation.
Part
of consciousness-raising involves expanding "alternative
media" coverage and "open source intelligence analysis"
of the catastrophe, to include continuing activist measures to
inject stories into mainstream media and fight the national media
blackout. See for example:
2010-09-07 Bound
by oil: Gulf Coast residents seek lessons from Exxon Valdez
by Jessica Ravitz, CNN, also listed as "Valdez
Survivors to Gulf: `Demand independent scientists to gather and
manage data' and `Make sure your fight stays in the media' …more"
at FloridaOilSpillLaw.com.
Another
important of the conscioiusness-raising process involves supporting
many different indiviudals and groups and that proactively provide
guidance and hand-holding services for allies, and activist interdiction
against enemies. Many people suffer from the "deer in the
headlights" syndrome when confronted with a catastrophe and
fail to react until it is too late. Helping Americans is complicated
by the fact that America is such a hodge-podge of different racial,
ethnic, and ideological groups that many different approaches
by many different types of group, operating independently, in
cooperation, or in parallel with each other, are necessary to
reach the general public. Last, but not least, consciousness-raising
is difficult because a number of entities such as BP, the Obama
Administration, and major national media are actually working
against dissemination of truth. There are probably other
groups that disseminate truth, but manipulate it to serve such
purposes as "limited hangout," "conversion,"
or "fearmongoring." (See the first part of Chapter
37 of my Mission of Conscience series for
a discussion of these things). Nevertheless, despite the existence
of many unscrupulous groups in American society that would distort
or hijack news dissemination and disaster response for their own
ends, there nevertheless exists in "objective reality"
a very real threat that must be investigated and must be responded
to.
With the threat of economic meltdown and spreading pollution,
not to mention the possibility of catastrophic geopolitical shifts
(please see my Publisher's
Preface to Civil
War Two: The Coming Breakup of America), I see a strong
need for groups of private citizens to form nongovernment entities
that can help people avoid panic and hysteria and work their way
through coming crises in a reasonably calm and effective manner.
We need activism on many different fronts, ranging from getting
enough relief wells in place in the Gulf to contain virtually
all the oil and gas well errupting from the "oil and gas
volcano," to providing medical assistance to people hurt
by water and airborne forms of contamination. We also need to
go after the malefactors who created this nightmare to stop their
serial crimes against humanity.
The following are some examples of activist efforts at consciousness-raising
to date, which include alerts that are also posted to my author

We need for whoever holds the mud logs to disclose them so that
scientists can get a more accurate understanding of the strata.
This in turn helps one determine the best course of action, whether
it involves sinking eight relief wells to drain surrounding formations

explosive to try to pinch off the runaway well.
*
We need to date the oil.
2010-07-20 Jeff
Rense interview with Chris Landau, oil geologist
(MP3 Download Here.).
Oil geologist Chris Landau discussed how dating the oil helps
us see to what extent it is being continually manufactured through
the "abiotic" process:
Landau: If the oil is getting older, you know that you getting to old oil. If it stays the same or is getting younger, then your oil is being generated right now.
Rense: I understand.
Landau: It is a simple process. Get the universities involved.
Rense: Do you think BP is doing this and not telling anyone?
Landau: Who knows.
Rense: Or do you think they are not going that far?
Landau: I cannot get anybody to date the oil. I cannot get anybody to take this whole thing seriously. The Russians have already done it -- but I am not -- I don't find the literature there -- and I would spend more time on that -- on dating the oil, because that would answer everybody's questions about what is really going on in this so-called scarcity of oil that they propagate around the world, that it is a fossil fuel that is running out. It is just a way for making money, but it is all nonsense.
*We need continual testing and analysis of sea water samples taken
from different ocean depths in the Gulf of Mexico and near the
Gulf Stream in the Atlantic to measure changes in depth, breadth,
concentration, and chemical composition of the pollution. Merchant
trips traveling across the Atlantic to East Coast ports, or Gulf
of Mexico ports, could carry equipment that can be dropped overboard
to take water samples at different depths. For an expert viewpoint
on the topic of ocean oil spill testing and analysis, please see
the 9 June 2010 testimony by Dr. Samantha B. Joye,
Professor of Marine Sciences, University of Georgia,
Athens, Georgia titled: "Deluge of Oil Highlights
Research and Technology Needs for Oil Spill Recovery and Cleanup
" before the U.S. Congressional Subcommittee Hearing on Energy
and Environment (PDF download Here).
There is a silver lining in the black clouds. This situation presents
a tremendous opportunity to increase investment in robotics research
and development to improve mobile sensing, containment, and clean-up
capabilities. Mobile robots are probably the most cost-effective
means for monitoring the depth and breadth of the pollution. See
for example the iRobot Gulf
Oil Spill Response web page and the University
of Washington Seaglider home page which discuss the
Seaglider autonomous underwater robot concept. See also the Wikipedia
underwater
glider article. Also, consider the M.I.T. seaswarm concept
below for leeching hydrocarbons out of sea water.
A major question remains how much oil and gas has already leaked
into the Gulf, the rate in which it may disappear over time from
microbial action and other causes, and the danger that existing
pollution can get in the Gulf Stream and wreak havoc elsewhere.
After speaking with many scientists directly involved with the
Dorado, Sentry, Spray,
Slocum,
and Seaglider programs, I am under the impression that the
TETHYS
mass spectrometer
is the only device currently available that can analyze hydrocarbon
content of seawater down to the molecular level in situ
(ie. in real time while cruising the depths) down to 5,000 meters.
It can be externally mounted on U.S. Navy subs as well as on robots.
This can give us a reasonable accurate reading not only of oil
content, but also the degree of dissolved gas saturation (such
as benzene and ethylene chloride) which is often invisible to
the human eye in ocean samples but which can still be lethal to
marine life and toxic for humans. Mass spectrometer readings can
also help to tell us where leakage is still taking place off the
sea floor.

I will go a step further. Given all the potential leak sites --many
of which may still be leaking off the seabed-- no one
can intelligently analyze the situation until the Gulf has been
systemmatically canvassed at all depths with spectrometers. The
same applies to the Gulf Stream.

mining down under the ocean by Byron Spice, Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette.
In some areas one does not even need a mass spectrometer to detect
the oil. According to a scientist at Texas A & M, there is
something like a "lake" of oil covering the sea bed
in the vicinity of the Macondo well, but no one knows yet how
deep and wide it is. The "CDOM" device mentioned by
Dr. Samantha B. Joye in her aforementioned 9
June 2010 testimony before Congress is essentially a "poor
man's" version of the TETHYS mass spectrometer It can detect
the general presence of hydrocarbons in sea water, but can not
tell us very much else about their composition.
For general background on the mobile robotics industry, please
see my ebook I,
Robot Entrepreneur that I posted to the Internet
in 2005 that still has a lot of valuable overview information.
Mobile robotics constitute the "next phase" of the industrial
revolution, and it is hard to overemphasize the strategic importance
of this area of technological development regardless of whether
or not it may be used to respond to current crises. Furthermore,
massive fleets of robots deployed to contain and clean up the
Gulf of Mexico contamination could later be deployed (or kept
in reserve) to provide an extra layer of ecological safety for
other oceans with significant off shore drilling or oil transport
hazards like coastal Alaska, the North Sea, or the coast of Nigeria.
Such robots also have substantial "dual use" for military
applications, as noted below:

`teams' and tackle a burgeoning surface spill with crack efficiency.
Indeed, the researchers note that one of the problems SeaSwarm
aims to overcome is the overwhelming amount of equipment and human
coordination needed to combat a spill.
A robotic S.W.A.T. team 5,000 to 10,000 units strong, responding
to real-time satellite data about the presence of oil, could lap
up a surface spill like BP’s Macondo spill within a month,
the researchers said.
`If produced in large numbers, we believe that each unit should
cost no more than $20,000,' Mr. Ratti said. That means that a
leak similar in size to the BP spill could be contained for $100
million to $200 million — assuming the robots worked as
advertised.
In one design, Mr. Ratti explained by e-mail, the devices burn
the oil they collect, so they can continue working uninterrupted.
An alternative design, he said, would have individual robots occasionally
breaking away to deposit their oil in large, GPS-tagged floating
reservoirs. A tanker could come and fetch the oil later.
How such technology might help with the vast undersea oil plumes
like those now lurking in the gulf’s depths is unclear —
though Mr. Ratti said that as new waves of the suspended oil creep
to the surface, the SeaSwarm units could continue slurping it
up.
The M.I.T. licensing office has patented the technology, Mr. Ratti
said, and several companies have expressed interest in investing,
though no deals have been struck..."
M.I.T.'s Seaswarm robot technology for oil spill
clean-up |
Another important concept for responding to oil spills are robotic
seabed drilling platforms. Robot drillers will be able to more
quickly drill relief wells (relief wells were required to end
the runaway Ixtoc well described elsewhere on this web page),
particularly at great depths or in environments where humans operating
on the surface are threatened by extreme conditions such as cold,
hurricanes, or chemical toxicity. An important initiative in this
direction is "Seabed
Rig AS":
"The Seabed Rig is unmanned with automated and robotized
working operations that are remotely controlled from an interactive
3D interface.
The development is supported by Statoil, the Norwegian Research
Council (Petromaks and DEMO2000) and Innovasjon Norge..."
Unfortunately the biggest constraint on collecting data probably
does not involve deployment of robotic technology or funding limitations,
but rather BP and City of London political control over the Obama
Administration, federal agencies, and major media. In addition,
the last thing the Rothschilds want are robots that can mop up
excess oil and dump it on the market, or make drilling for deep
biosphere oil more feasible, or foil their delusional "End
Times" scenarios and "soft kill" population control
campaigns. The Rothschilds and their City of London allies are
psychopathic, malevolent control freaks who always want to be
able to create forms of artificial scarcity to manipulate oil
prices upward whenever they find it advantageous -- the public
be damned.
When
the Seaglider reports back disturbing data, highly compartmentalized
people at NOAA are probably being told to shut up, ignore it,
and not "connect the dots" just like members of other
federal agencies when confronted with disturbing information about
Vietnam War era MIAs (an older issue), VA personnel regarding
effects of Agent Orange and Depleted Uranium, or the FDA regarding
toxin-laced
vaccines and sterility-inducing properties of GMO food. Unfortunately
in many high level areas of American society, intelligent use
of space-age technology and honest reporting are both being stonewalled
by corrupt special interests and a latter
day Neanderthal mentality. Please note the 26 May 2010 article
"BP
Restricts Access to the Oil Spill" by Phillip
Matthews and the 19 Oct 2010 article "Why
Is Crucial Oil Spill Data Sitting In a Polish Laboratory?"
For another outrage in this area, see the MSNBC segment below
about how the President's Oil Commission, also known as the National
Commission on the British Petroleum Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico
-- the investigative arm of the President and Congress -- has
been denied subpoena power to conduct a competent fact-finding
investigation regarding the real causes of the catastrophe. ("Subpoena
power" means the ability to call forth members of the oil
and gas industry and put them under oath during testimony):
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy "MSNBC's
Hardball: Oil Spill Cover Up? "with Chris Matthews,
dated 27 Sept 2010. Congress lacks subpoena power! |
*
We need continuous journalistic research and other forms of investigation.
For example, we need corroboration from East Coast fisherman and
other "expert witnesses on the scene" regarding massive
fish die-offs reported between Florida and Massachusetts.
*
Last, but not least, we need to bring together experts who can
identify the best possible solutions and prepare feasible action
plans. This includes analyzing the approach of multiple relief
wells vs. nuclear options.
On
a social and political level, we may need to tap into legal talent
who can provide advice on various strategies that would enable
other entities besides the Obama Administration and BP to take
control of this crisis. It may be necessary to assemble a "peace
flotilla" of ships from other countries to intervene at the
Deepwater Horizon site, some 50 miles off shore, in international
waters beyond the 12 mile limit.
We
need for many different parties to hold conferences in parallel
with each other to pull together top talent and discussion, and
increase public visibility despite controlled national media suppression.
Chris
Landau commenced in his Jeff Rense interview: " I cannot
get anybody to date the oil. I cannot get anyone to take this
whole thing seriously." Certainly conferences are one way
to increase the "seriousness" of the ongoing disaster.
It
may be necessary to hold conferences off shore in places like
Iceland, Norway, or Sweden to get around various forms of suppression
and harassment waged by corrupt U.S. Government officials.
Empowering
Honorable and Competent Leadership
It
is possible that both the US and UK governments have become too
corrupt to handle this crisis in an honest and rational manner.
American citizens may have to invite governments from other countries,
such as Germany, Russia, or the Scandinavian countries to take
care of this mess.
We
should organize conferences of experts, on shore and off-shore,
both nonpartisan and partisan.
We
may even need to create an international "Peace Flotilla"
that takes control of the leak sites away from British Petroleum.
BP, Goldman Sachs, and their elite (but also very "punk"
and "criminal") Jewish handlers who have highjacked
the Obama Administration, to include DHS, NOA, the EPA, Coast
Guard, and other key federal agencies, not unlike the way Zionist
neocons promulgated
9/11 and the American invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. (See
High
Priests of War by Michael Collins Piper). BP acts like
"King
of the Gulf" with similar arrogance to the way
Israelis lord it over West Bank and Gaza Palestinians (the analogy
will become even more apparent once millions of Americans die
early deaths from Corexit) -- and seems to be controlled by the
same cabal at the top, therefore an allusion to the possible need
for a "Peace Flotilla" operation is not that far-fetched.
The author of this web page would like to be actively involved
in organizing conferences. However, having already spent considerable
funds in activist work in other areas (please see the Mission
of Conscience series as an example) I am financially
depleted and require more donations in order to focus on this
area. Since we are in an "all hands on deck" global
emergency situation, other people should independently organize
their own conferences in parallel to anything that I might be
involved with. Many different groups of people around the world,
using many different social, political , and scientific approaches,
have to spontaneously organize themselves and get aggressive about
confronting and overcoming this continuing crisis, whether they
operate as nongovernmental organization lobbying or pressure groups,
or in an "open source intelligence" and "alternative
media" capacity, or consist of academic groups with scientific
expertise, or function as government officials capable of conducting
diplomatic interventions. British Petroleum, the Obama administration,
and American mass media are so corrupt and dysfunctional that
if Americans cannot fix this problem within their own political
system, we will require the assistance of foreign diplomatic interventions,
foreign groups of scientists, and other outside sources of real
and effective solutions. After all, this is now a global
crisis.

Science Magazine at sciencemag.org/hottopics/oilspill/
According to a number of my contacts with universities
and oceanographic institutions who have researched the BP-Gulf
Catastrophe on expeditions or through mobile robots like the Dorado,
Sentry, and Spray gliders this web page has the latest published
scientific analysis. Of course many of these experts are funded
by federal sources or are coordinated with them (see my discussion
of political
bias by the Obama Administration elsewhere on this
web page) so they may be overly compartmentalized or influenced
on a political level. Nevertheless, this research and analysis
is an important starting point. Sciencemag.org
is a subscription site, but many of the papers listed can also
be found at other web sites at no charge, such as "Tracking
Hydrocarbon Plume Transport..." by Dr. Camilli
et al, also found
in PDF at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
site. I have a lot of problems with "Magnitude
of the 2010 Gulf of Mexico Oil Leak" by T. J. Crone
and M. Tolstoy, October
Science Magazine, page 634, because it attempts to calculate
total oil flowed into the Gulf based upon video observations at
the Macondo Wellhead, and ignores evidence of major leakage from
the surrounding sea floor. Consider also the research by B.K.
Lim at phoenixrisingfromthegulf.wordpress.com
that BP has been doctoring and falsifying videos,
as well as lying about the total number of wells involved. See,
for example, the 12 Nov 2010 Mounting
Evidence Points To 2 Wellheads at Macondo by B. K.
Lim. Given all the unknown leakage variables,
I think the most feasible way to produce a reasonable estimate
of total pollution is to conduct a comprehensive survey of the
Gulf of Mexico using submarines and robots equipped with the TETHYS
mass spectrometer, apparently the only device currently available
that can analyze hydrocarbon content of seawater down to the molecular
level in situ (ie. in real time while cruising the depths)
down to extreme depths. This could give us a reasonable accurate
reading not only of oil content, but also the degree of dissolved
gas saturation (such as benzene and ethylene chloride) which is
often invisible to the human eye in ocean samples, although such
samples may still be potentially lethal to marine life and highly
toxic for humans. This will also help to tell us where leakage
is still taking place.

Today's AUVs fall into two groups: 1) propeller-driven vehicles
that can travel fast and carry lots of instruments, but are limited
to expeditions of only a few days; and 2) `gliders,' which can
stay at sea for weeks or even months at a time, but cannot travel
very quickly. MBARI engineers recently demonstrated a new super-efficient
AUV that combines the best of these two approaches. This new long-range

oil carried by undersea currents moving through the gulf, but
its `gulpers' are collecting varied microscopic organisms in the
water so scientists from the University of New Hampshire aboard

on marine life in the gulf's deep waters...
The
Dorado has a remarkably sophisticated type of artificial intelligence
that can be programmed aboard ship to decide where to seek and
what to sample, said John Ryan, an MBARI oceanographer at Moss

In
addition to the varied sensors in its nose, the Dorado carries
10 `gulpers' that can each suck up two quarts of sea water while
cutting through the ocean at more than 3 mph.
At
that speed, Ryan said, and with its ability to move quickly upward
and downward through the water column, the Dorado is sampling
"a virtual slice of the oil plume in three dimensions."

(PDF). It notes on page 2:
"An
examination of reports from a variety of sources, including industry,
government, and academic sources, indicate that although the sources
of petroleum input to the sea are diverse, they can be categorized
effectively into four major groups, natural seeps, petroleum extraction,
petroleum transportation, and petroleum consumption. Natural
seeps are purely natural phenomena that occur when crude
oil seeps from the geologic strata beneath the seafloor to the
overlying water column. Recognized by geologists for decades as
indicating the existence of potentially economic reserves of petroleum,
these seeps release vast amounts of crude oil annually. Yet these
large volumes are released at a rate low enough that the surrounding
ecosystem can adapt and even thrive in their presence. Petroleum
extraction can result in releases of both crude oil and
refined products as a result of human activities associated with
efforts to explore for and produce petroleum. The nature and size
of these releases is highly variable, but is restricted to areas
where active oil and gas exploration and development are under
way. Petroleum transportation can result in releases
of dramatically varying sizes, from major spills associated with
tanker accidents such as the Exxon Valdez, to relatively small
operational releases that occur regularly. Petroleum consumption
can result in releases as variable as the activities that consume
petroleum. Yet, these typically small but frequent and widespread
releases contribute the overwhelming majority of the petroleum
that enters the sea due to human activity.
Based
on analysis of data from a wide variety of sources, it appears
that collectively these four categories of sources add, each year
on average, about 260,000 metric tonnes (about 76,000,000 gallons)
of petroleum to the waters off North America. Annual worldwide
estimates of petroleum input to the sea exceed 1,300,000 metric
tonnes (about 380,000,000 gallons). [Editor's note: An oil barrel
is 42 U.S. gallones, hence 9.05 million barrels]. Although these
are imposing figures, they are difficult to interpret in terms
of their ecological significance, as they represent thousands
or tens of thousands of individual releases whose combined effect
on the environment is difficult to clearly establish. Regional
or worldwide estimates of petroleum entering the environment are
useful only as a first order approximation of need for concern.
Sources of frequent, large releases are rightfully recognized
as areas where greater effort to reduce petroleum pollution should
be concentrated, despite the fact that not every spill of equal
size leads to the same environmental impact..."

Stadtmiller, Republic Broadcasting Network (MP3 download

Stadtmiller explains how there is conflicting evidence on this
issue. "As many people say that it is slowing down as others
say it is not changing...We know more about the surface of the
moon than the ocean's depths." The warmth of the Gulf Stream
does indeed influence weather patterns, helping to explain why
hurricanes frequently proceed up the U.S East Coast from the Caribbean,
but do not exist off the coast of California where no similar
current exist. However, there are other important factors that
affect jet streams and the relative warming of the eastern U.S
and Western Europe, such as the way in which the Rocky Mountains
channel air flows.

"Bob" Naman, about how vast expanse of Gulf of Mexico
ocean water has become too toxic for fish and burns humans on
contact. The use of Corexit
helps BP avoid paying a fine of $4,000 a barrel of oil scooped
off the surface of the ocean by submerging the oil, but toxic
rains will probably shorten the lives of millions of Americans
(Exxon-Valdez workers exposed to Corexit had an average life expectancy
of 51 years).

page for this show (as of 20 Sept 2010) is incomplete, because
the Estulin interview got delayed, and the bulk of this download
segment involves an excellent interview with documentary filmmaker
James Fox about his experiences along the Gulf of Mexico (introduction
begins 4:10, actual Fox interview from 9 min 20 sec to 47 min
20 sec). Americans along the coast are being exposed to very hazardous
earth gases, Corexit rains, toxic ocean, and contaminated beaches.
Fox tracked secret places where BP is disposing of highly toxic
waste scooped off beaches. Worse yet, BP, the Obama Administration,
national and local media, and local police continue to suppress
real news about the very serious dangers. Majority shareholders
of Nalco that manufactures the dispersant Corexit include Warren
Buffet, Maurice Strong, Al Gore, and George Soros. [Editor's Note:
"Corexit
Linked to the Blackstone Group & Lord Jacob Rothschild"
states that Lord Jacob Rothschild is on the International Advisory
Board of the Blackstone Group that controls Nalco Holding Company].

he also asks, What's Next? Fukushima came after, now the LA sinkhole...which

that got filthy fricken rich, and possible secondary effects from
crustal destabilization, along with untold health effects for
20+ million living around the Gulf being exposed to crude oil
(which is toxic) Synthia (bioremediator that was being tested
in the Mercondo Well) and Corexit (which contains many toxic things
including cadmium, cyanide, and arsenic)...My friend's dad in
Tampa is in ICU with a brain hemorrhage right now, and leukemia
that metastisized to his bones, all happening in the past 18 months,
getting much worse in the past 2 months, and I gotta wonder...see
