Gulf of Mexico oil geyser

[Southern Wolf]

anyone see a possible repeat of history

2. Ixtoc 1 Oil Spill - June 3, 1979 - March 23, 1980
Location: Bay of Campeche off Ciudad del Carmen, Mexico
Amount of Oil Spilled: 140 million gallons
This oil spill didn't involve a tanker, but rather an offshore oil well. Pemex, a state-owned Mexican petroleum company was drilling an oil well when a blowout occurred. The oil ignited causing the drilling rig to collapse. Oil began gushing out of the well into the Gulf of Mexico at a rate of 10,000 to 30,000 barrels a day for almost an entire year beforeworkers were finally able to cap the well and stop the leak.

Maybe this is why you can't find much on the oil Spill.

BP buys Google, Yahoo search words:Is it to keep people from real news on Gulf oil spill disaster?

That's some pretty scary stuff.

Anyone have info on the groups that are helping the animals get cleaned up? I cannot make it down there personally to volunteer, but would like to donate to the cause.

I'm not sure if they are allowing outside volunteers and I would be careful on whom you send donations too.





Here's another interesting video.




Something else I came across, go to the link for more info http://www.av1611.org/hell.html

The earth’s crust on land is normally 50 miles thick. You’d have to go down 50 miles before the edge of the fire. But in parts of the ocean floor, the earth’s crust is less than a mile thick.

Scientists recently discovered cracks on the ocean floor where fire was leaking out. Do you know what they found around these fire-breathing vents in the crust? Eight-foot long worms, found no other place in the world! The book, The Deep Sea, by Joseph Wallace (p.39), reads, "Perhaps the strangest of ocean creatures recently discovered are Riftia, the giant tube WORMS. Measuring up to 8 feet in length, the worms are ONLY FOUND NEAR DEEP SEA VENTS."

And Jesus Christ said, "Where THEIR WORM dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

Here's another interesting video along the same lines...




I would have to say here that volcanos under the sea are really nothing new to the Earth, so I'm not really sure why this one would be any different and why some people would think that if it IS actually a volcano, that this is some sort of doomsday event taking place.

It may not be a doomsday event in itself but it can very well change our way of life depending how this is handled. As it looks now things aren't looking at all positive.

Kevin Costner's anti-oil machines to be deployed

Jay Vise Reporting

BP has given the green light for funding of a device that can separate oil from water.

Development of the machine, which uses a centrifuge to separate the fluids, has been backed by actor Kevin Costner to the tune of $25 million.

John Houghtaling, Costner's chief partner in the project, told WWL First News that the oil company has ordered 32 of the devices for use in the Gulf of Mexico.

"In a matter of weeks, we can be manufacturing ten of these a week," Houghtaling said. "So we're hoping by the first of August to have all 32 of these things in the Gulf."

According to Houtaling, the machines cost roughly half a million dollars to build, but also require the hiring of vessels to take them out onto the water.

Though the world-famous actor and Houtaling are both pleased that BP has now agreed to deploy the devices, Costner told members of Congress earlier this week. that he'd had a hard time getting an opportunity to try out his centrifuge for the Coast Guard.

"We would offer to take our machines out there but we couldn't get onto the spots because the Coast Guard would regulate that we couldn't get there," Costner testified.

Houghtaling said that in addition to providing clean-up duty in the gulf, deployment of even more of the devices could aid in shortening the six-month moratorium on deep-water drilling.

He said that he'd like to see the government use the machines as a safety measure to keep the deep-water drilling rigs in operation as safety procedures are reviewed.

"By the end of August...our company can have thirty-three of the machines around the rigs. If there's a spill, we can deploy," Houtaling said.

Meanwhile Costner's company is moving toward leasing 16 more oil sucking and separating machines to Plaquemines Parish officials directly. They say if BP won't pay for that, they may sell the oil local officials pull from the water and fund the machines that way.

Curiously, there is some history to support this hypothesis of a volcano caused by manmade drilling: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidoarjo_mud_flow

Here's a pic of that mud volcano mentioned above...

Hmm, well that is interesting. If in fact that oil plume IS on fire a mile underneath the water, how did that happen? Was it ignited from the top and worked it's way down, or is it in flames beneath the ground? If the latter, then there is no way they can cap it off, because then PRESSURE would build up. Also, how are they going to draw off the oil to tankers if it is in flames? Suppose the entire oil reservoir underneath the ground is in flames right now?

I think there is a WHOLE lot of information that is being withheld about this situation. And none of it is likely good news.

With the transparency of our government along with media lies and blackouts you can only hope for the best.

It was stated on MSNBC it may leak for 30 years!

 

[Lucille]

The reason is because there was no plan in place if something like this should happen.

It is scary that there was no plan for this, since blowouts have happened from the earliest days of drilling. Scarier still are those companies who are still all gung ho to go ahead with plans for offshore drilling, whether or not they have plans or enough financial resources to cope with a blowout of their own.

The problem is, when the SHTF, the companies can bankrupt, the execs can fly away and live in luxury on their Swiss bank accounts, and the ordinary guy is left with the damage. Fixing just this blowout will increase a national debt that is already totally out of control and there is no way out, you can't have 30, 40, 50 percent of a whole state unemployed.

And that is just 'as-is', without a hurricane to spead the oil inland, or, God forbid, a massive explosion with possibly toxic gas.
I'm hoping that people are thinking along the lines of moving if the situation suddenly has a direct affect on their lives. Right now that would mean fishermen, shrimpers, and so on, but a hurricane spreading oil inland would make life untenable for many.

Imagine an evacuation from a landfalling hurricane with roadways covered with oil.........

If that happens, it will really hit the fan.

If interstate commerce is interrupted by highways covered in oil, no food can come in. And likewise, fields soaked in oil will not sustain homegrown food. No fish, they'll die. A recipe for statewide hunger. Things could get pretty challenging.
People who think they need to go, eventually, should make plans now. People who choose to stay should lay in a supply of canned food, water, guns.

Inevitably, even though one can see the possibilities now, many will wait until the last minute. But if there is no food coming in, and resurfacing of the highways with dry clay-like kitty litter stuff to absorb the oil can only be done so fast, what then?

 

[WebSlave]

Man, listen carefully to this one....



I was watching the live feed for several minutes. I know it's not very manly for a man to admit he almost cried, but damn.....

 

[brd7666]

You know, after watching that it really makes you wonder if they will stop the leak. I think Florida is going to go right down the toilet. I will never find a job once that crap starts washing up on the shores. Florida will go bankrupt in a matter of no time. Housing market will plumet even more. This really sucks, I think the worst is yet to come. And if it is on fire like the other video. How could they possibly stop that. There's no way. This is going to be the worst oil disaster in the world before it's over.

Check out figure four (4) on this page -> http://www.clas.ufl.edu/users/rrusso/florida_eq.html

Obviously that oil field was under tremendous pressure when that oil rig tapped into it. My guess is either they CAN'T contain that much pressure to cap off the well. Or the entire area is no so unstable that leaks are coming up everywhere and they are afraid of what might happen if they put the cork back in and the pressure spikes.

Evidently there was a 6.0 earthquake in the Gulf back in September of 2006. Anyone think setting off a nuke (yes, I have seen suggestions to do just that!) in that compressed and stressed strata is going to be a real good idea? Why didn't the engineers know about the stress that area is under after Katrina dumped all the sediment into the Gulf? It probably was like drilling a hole into a soda can after you shook it up for several minutes.

 

[brd7666]

Wow, if that's the case, I don't see how they will ever stop it. The pressure must be insanely high. I think all of the Gulf states are going to get screwed. Better get to the beach while we still can.

You never want a serious crisis to go to waste

My believe is this is just another crisis to bring in the New World Order.

First you have 911, wars, Patriot Act, bailouts a failing economy heading towards a total economic collapse and now this, what's next?
