BP Official Admits to Damage BENEATH THE SEA FLOOR

“Doomsday” Cover-Up: BP Official Admits to Damage BENEATH THE SEA FLOOR!

Washington’s Blog
June 12, 2010

As I noted Tuesday, there is growing evidence that BP’s oil well – technically called the “well casing” or “well bore” – has suffered damage beneath the level of the sea floor.

(VIDEOS) full Story “Doomsday” Cover-Up: BP Official Admits to Damage BENEATH THE SEA FLOOR....http://ctpatriot1970.wordpress.com/2010/06/12/doomsday-cover-up-bp-official-admi...

The evidence is growing stronger and stronger that there is substantial damage beneath the sea floor. Indeed, it appears that BP officials themselves have admitted to such damage. This has enormous impacts on both the amount of oil leaking into the Gulf, and the prospects for quickly stopping the leak this summer.

    • Further down this page I mentioned the Earth could be in the process of growing smaller. That wasn't the best choice of wording. For the past 100+ years we've drawn content out of the earth called crude oil. To replace the withdrawn oil the drilling was also pumping down ocean water, at least that has been my understanding.

      There's a lot of difference between oil and water but the one to concentrate on is the size of the molecules. Oil is a larger molecule so it can be trapped inside underground caverns and contained, whereas the much smaller H2O molecule -it's my opinion and belief- will penetrate cavern walls.

      Where does it go? What about the empty cavern it leaves behind?

      Steam power is awesome. The planet is having earthquakes. Is the water from oil drilling seeping into lava creating steam that is causing so many more earthquakes? If we were to make a model and inject steam pockets underneath the surface what would we see?

      Somebody mentioned below that this is just a "restructuring" in progress. Well? That's exactly what I'm saying => the planet is undergoing an allover internal smashing that eventually could very well result in a reconsolidating of matter, crunching together and all those empty cavern spaces would fill with matter.

      If that happens it would result in a collapse like we sometimes see in coal mines, and the ground level drops. Alright, if that happens around the planet then we would have a smaller planet size. The planet is automatically adjusting. Right now today it's adjusting one earthquake at a time.

      I'm expecting that to change, and lots of quakes to go off simultaneously. If that happens it won't be "growing smaller" it will go from what it is today to smaller, very fast. Of all the posters who have written "oil drilling needs to stop right now" I am the foremost one. They write it because of the pollution but I also write it because I see a great reshuffling about to happen.

      In light of the speeded up earthquake activity it seems to be in the pipeline. The Guatemala collapses are just giving us a foregleam. Guatemala is NUTHIN'. We're in danger of riding this bomb down like Slim Pickens.

      Am I overstating, exaggerating? I certainly have nothing to gain from scaring people. I call em the way I see em. I've been writing since 2006 of a "lake inversion" except instead of lake water swapping places in the Fall it will be the ground that has swapped out, a solid inversion we caused from both drilling and mining. All oil withdrawals needs to stop immediately and switch horses as fast as any Pony Express rider ever did.

      If the ground collapses into a smaller planet we're done. If the underground changes places with the aboveground we're done. It will be time for the next bunch to try... if anyone survives. I expect survivors but they will be few and far between and they will likely only survive by the blessing of their God. Revelation 7 assures us there will be a special group that survives. I suggest you find that group.

      Many things happen in the Fall, not just a temperature swap-inversion of lake water. Jesus was born in the Fall because shepherds had not yet put their sheep inside for the winter. I came across Tesla's last papers online in the Fall of 2007 and figured out that same day several plausible solutions to his remaining engine systems. One was anti-Gravity flight (aka "flying cars"), the other was wireless transmission of large amounts of electricity. Then I added to that some systems of my own for cleaning ocean water into potable drinking water for the whole world.

      Which I consider possibly inspired to me to understand since I lack any schooling after high school (1970). But the important thing here is it appears that God, perhaps out of respect for when His son was born has a special place for the Fall... which could mean the end of this world will come in the Fall also. The northern hemisphere Fall.

      The way things are going this Fall is starting to raise my eyebrows, without setting any strict "day or hour" we are given many clues in real life and also clues in the Bible to know we are in that time. Am I using these ideas to scare anybody? Have I ever suggested burning forever in flames of hell? No.

      Great things are due to come to every person God deems acceptable, but the other side of the coin isn't burning but the destruction that comes from burning. There's a big difference.

    • IF, this is indeed true, nuke it, if need be more than one do it. the very last thing we need is to have this oil formation underneath the sea to be spewing oil for years. Catastrophic it is no matter what we do now, let it go, or nuke it, we are in a no win situation now. rational thought says choose the lesser of two evils and it seems nuclear explosions placed correctly gives the best chance of ending this once and for all. And nuclear weapons placed correctly will melt the rock and seal the oil. Any person who has ever seen the recorded films of underground nuclear testing has seen the same thing as I have. That is a depression on the surface is created, looking much like a crater, but it offers us the best chance now

    • Regardless of how big or small the damage in the gulf really is or what mechanical or personal action actually caused the failure of equipment that led to the disaster in the gulf, the changing of safety procedures over the last decade by political entities influenced by Big Money lobby representatives for the Oil companies is the Root Cause of this disaster. So, to keep this from happening again we need to address the problems with the influence of Big Money Lobbyists on political entities and politicians.

      But in the mean time the EPA and any other agency that is involved with rules and regulations for ALL environmentally sensitive sites needs to get Tough on companies that continually try to get around the rules that protect the public and the environment for the sake of profits and to much more strictly enforce the rules that are currently in place.

      We need to let the politicians know that we will no longer tolerate the current influences of Big Business on our politicians, but I really don’t have much faith in most of the politicians actually caring about what the people think beyond what they need to say, (Truth or Lie), to get elected. I think that Writing and E-mailing the representatives does help but most of the current politicians just don’t seem to put enough weight on what their constituents say and they put too much weight on the opinions and suggestions of their biggest Money contributors.

      Suggestions on how to better influence the politicians to listen to the suggestions and opinions of their constituents Over their biggest Money contributors should be considered. We need new ideas people because the old ones don’t seem to be working.

      You're ignoring something. Older politicians, many of them are religious and so maybe they have a deep held belief they need to cause a major failure. Younger politicians may not believe much of anything there's a higher power what's that?! Their stand-in higher power says the strong will survive and the rest of us are white trash.

      Neither group will feel inclined to stop anything. Gridlock.

      I am bringing this to the top, courtesy post of samantha420, as it is so important. Matt Simmons still claiming that what we are watching when we see the "live feed" is the "drilling riser still connected to the rig floor" and that the actual well-head is a gaping hole seven miles away. This appears to be and interview after cut and cap was already completed (?June 7, 2010). Please post any info you can find on the results of this Thomas Jefferson research vessel. THANKS!

    • Just to clarify, this is a bad scenario, but not a doomsday one. When well drillers drill water wells into bedrock, they will often inject high pressure water as high as 3000psi to open and clear fractures to allow more water to flow into the well.

      Mother nature may have done a similar thing to the well bore. When the well blew out, the pressure may have been so high that it opened new fractures in the bedrock and cleared out blocked ones. Some of these probably lead to the sea floor which would account for what they are seeing. They have to find a way of injecting enough drilling mud into the well so that it also seals the fractures from inside the bore hole.

      Don't worry. The Earth is just healing itself.

      Once there is tons of oil is on the ocean surface and a lightning strike puts a match to it the elements being intensely hot will melt (2 Peter 3 vs 10-13). But that's a GOOD THING see, because the intense heat will cause lots of ocean water to be evaporated up into the atmosphere => which gives us more land to build condominiums on where ocean water used to be! It's Al Gore's plan to increase Real Estate?

      No, it's God's Plans being worked out towards His purpose (the "re-Creation" happening a 2nd time y'all:Matthew 19 vs 28) => by moving ocean water into the upper atmosphere will be putting it back where it was before the "Flood of Noah's day", where it came from when it rained so it will be returned. And by putting all that REFLECTIVE WATER back around the planet the solar rays that now age us too fast will be gone.

      People will once again be able to live thousands of years just like Adam & Eve and their children lived til after the Flood [and all that protective layer of "waters above the expanse" were gone (Genesis 1 vs 7)].

      No. God isn't causing it, people are. God knew from the very start of sin that men would destroy the planet. It wasn't rocket science. The destruction in the Gulf is ALL US IN OUR MAGNIFICENCE.

      Not to be confused with Armageddon, which is to involve Jesus and angels. They are coming to save some of us; otherwise these greed-driven maniacs would finish off the entire human race.

      We lose plenty. If the purpose is to go forward. Of course we might disagree on just what going forward means. Looks like your idea is to accept certain losses that include a continuation of the system we have and live under now. A great majority of the world's population does not enjoy what we have, and what we have is losing ground.

      It's good to be an optimist. I'm one myself to the extent of being called a dreamer. I am however also a realist. Is your optimism based on the real or is it just a psychological wall you set up to explain away as acceptable other people's diseases, misery and death?

      If it was you would deny it because you know people frown on people like that, and you want to avoid being frowned on. Or found out.

      I'm hardly for a continuation of the system we have now. I support a New World Order. As for my response to the rest, I think I can do that best with a quote:

      Woe to those who live without suffering. Stagnation and death is the future of all that vegetates without a change. And how can there be any change for the better without proportionate suffering during the preceding stage? Is it not those only who have learnt the deceptive value of earthly hopes and the illusive allurements of eternal nature who are destined to solve the great problems of life, pain, and death? --- The Secret Doctrine, II, 475

      I've had more suffering than many so I must be very happy according to that. But I have a rather stagnant existence and a disability check that never increases. There seems to be an exception to your quote.

      It is true I have solved many earthly problems of life too, but they have not the power to stop world pain much less DEATH. If you actually subscribe to sing songy crap like spills from a radio preacher's Sunday speech you're really messed up my friend. I'll tell you what you just told me, and it's the same message Obama says and the same message the Sunday preacher on the radio says, and it's this => WE CAN DO IT.

      Much the same message I saw through on Ouija boards => WE JAH sound it out. The demons are behind your message & the Ouija board message too saying we can do it all without God or Jesus or God's Kingdom. It is the same message the serpent stated to Eve => eat this fruit deary and be like God, so ever since then ~all this time of our being like God~ we are now trashing the planet we're so smart.

      You should have many followers. People love hearing the piper singing their song that tells them how great they are.

      He is saying you subscribe to the theology that Satan was good and Christianity perverted the teachings of Satan. Your quote is from Helena Bravatsky, a Satanist and teacher that we are all gods. We create our own reality and are gods of our own world and can do anything by believing we are the creators. Thus, the Ouija board and demon references. Demons are Satan's army.

    • Jeremy_Benson:

      Blavatsky was a Satanist and believes that Satan is misunderstood and good. You quoted her and the Secret Doctrine as an overview of what you believe.

      “Dignities” (gods) are called “filthy dreamers” by Jude (8). For even Michael the Archangel durst not bring against him (the devil) a railing accusation, but said: “The Lord rebuke thee” (ibid 9). Finally the same is repeated in the Talmud.* “Satan appeared one day to a man who used to curse him daily, and said to him: ‘Why dost thou this?’ Consider that God himself would not curse me, but merely said: ‘The Lord rebuke thee, Satan.’ ”†

      This bit of Talmudic information shows plainly two things: (a) that St. Michael is called “God” in the Talmud, and somebody else “the Lord”; and (b) that Satan is a God, of whom even the “Lord” is in fear. All we read in the Zohar and other Kabalistic works on Satan shows plainly that this “personage” is simply the personification of the abstract evil, which is the weapon of Karmic law and Karma. It is our human nature and man himself, as it is said that “Satan is always near and inextricably interwoven with man.” It is only a question of that Power being latent or active in us.

      It is a well-known fact — to learned Symbologists at all events — that in every great religion of antiquity, it is the Logos Demiurge (the second logos), or the first emanation from the mind (Mahat), who is made to strike, so to say, the key-note of that which may be called the correlation of individuality and personality in the subsequent scheme of evolution. The Logos it is, who is shown in the mystic symbolism of cosmogony, theogony, and anthropogony, playing two parts in the drama of Creation and Being, i.e., that of the purely human personality and the divine impersonality of the so-called Avatars, or divine incarnations, and of the universal Spirit, called Christos by the Gnostics, and the Farvarshi (or Ferouer) of Ahura Mazda in the Mazdean philosophy. On the lower rungs of theogony the celestial Beings of lower Hierarchies had each a Farvarshi, or a celestial “Double.” It is the same, only a still more mystic, reassertion of the Kabalistic axiom, “Deus est Demon inversus”; the word “demon,” however, as in the case of Socrates, and in the spirit of the meaning given to it by the whole of antiquity, standing for the guardian Spirit, an “Angel,” not a devil of Satanic descent, as theology will have it. The Roman Catholic Church shows its usual logic and consistency by accepting, as the ferouer of Christ, St. Michael, who was “his Angel Guardian,” as proved by St. Thomas,‡ while he calls the prototypes of Michael and his synonyms, such as Mercury, for example, devils.

      As well she believes in Giants, Dragons and more. You hardly have room to criticize Christianity.

      As a symbol, the Serpent had as many aspects and occult meanings as the Tree itself; the “Tree of Life,” with which it was emblematically and almost indissolubly connected. Whether viewed as a metaphysical or a physical symbol, the Tree and Serpent, jointly, or separately, have never been so degraded by antiquity as they are now, in this our age of the breaking of idols, not for truth’s sake, but to glorify the more gross matter. The revelations and interpretations in “The Rivers of Life” would have astounded the worshippers of the Tree and Serpent in the days of archaic Chaldean and Egyptian wisdom; and even the early Saivas would have recoiled in horror at the theories and suggestions of the author of the said work. “The notion of Payne Knight and Inman that the cross or Tau is simply a copy of the male organs in a triadic form is radically false,” writes Mr. G. Massey, who proves what he says. But this is a statement that could be as justly applied to almost all the modern interpretations of ancient symbols. “The Natural Genesis,” a monumental work of research and thought, the most complete on that subject that has ever been published, covering as it does a wider field, and explaining much more than all the symbologists who have hitherto written, does not yet go beyond the “psycho-theistic” stage of ancient thought. Nor were Payne Knight and Inman altogether wrong; except in entirely failing to see that their interpretations of the “Tree of Life,” as the cross and phallus, fitted the symbol, and approximated it, only on the lowest and last stage of the evolutionary development of the idea of the Giver of Life. It was the last and the grossest physical transformation of nature, in animal, insect, bird, and even plant; for biune, creative magnetism, in the form of the attraction of the contraries, or sexual polarization, acts in the constitution of reptile and bird as it does in that of man. Moreover, the modern symbologists and Orientalists — from first to last —

      And the serpent is the tree of life. Serpent worship.

      This is all very interesting, but pretty irrelevant. I know what Helena believed (one would hope, at least); the Atlanteans and the Lemurians, theurgy and alchemy and all that good stuff. But the Secret Doctrine and her other works were the basis of the founding of Theosophy, which is most definitely distinct from any form of satanism. Your studies of religions of antiquity are interesting, but don't really hold much weight. You cannot say "this is what was written and this is what it means" or "the Tree of Life is a phallical symbol" or "the serpent is the Tree of Life" since these statements are merely your own interpretation of ancient text - or others' interpretations that you are simply parroting. Furthermore, unless you consider the late 1800's to be antiquity, those studies don't necessarily apply to Theosophy. And again, I must state that Theosophy is wholly different from satanism, either the classic idea of pentagrams and sacrifices or the more recent LeVeyan Satanism. Calling me a satanist or trying to compare me to one is completely off the mark.

      "As to the allegations made by some that Madam Blavatsky was a "Satanist" these are most often made by dogmatic church people who view Theosophy as a threat.. Studying Theosophy is a complex endeavor and not so simply resolved into simple name calling.."

      You also can't tell me that because Helena believed in the giants of lemuria or the people of atlantis that I have no room to criticize christianity. I certainly don't believe in magical lands or miracles or magic. Nor did I criticize christianity in general. I criticized the belief of literal demons and the idea that the BP oil spill is a sign of the coming apocalypse.

      "idea that the BP oil spill is a sign of the coming apocalypse" Who said that?!?! I didn't. Did anybody?!

      I have a great many more and better ways to know we are near the Apocalypse that I have no need for an oil spill to claim it's near. I would say however that sloppiness of employees or not properly training employees that contributed to the whole disaster to unfold could probably be included under Jesus' statement the "love of the greater number would cool off".(Matthew 24 vs 12, Matthew 24 being the End Times & Last Days chapter in the Bible).

      I only use my best arguments. An indirect application to employees not exercising love towards the people of the United States is straining gnats.

    • Monkey film was correct... here are some information from

      http://www.scchealth.org/docs/ems/docs/prepare/newmadrid.html

      About The New Madrid Fault

      THE NEW MADRID FAULT SYSTEM EXTENDS 120 MILES SOUTHWARD from the area of Charleston, Missouri, and Cairo, Illinois, through New Madrid and Caruthersville, following Interstate 55 to Blytheville and on down to Marked Tree, Arkansas. It crosses five state lines and cuts across the Mississippi River in three places and the Ohio River in two places.

      THE FAULT IS ACTIVE, AVERAGING MORE THAN 200 MEASURED EVENTS per YEAR (1.0 or more on the Richter scale), about 20 per month. Tremors large enough to be felt (2.5 - 3.0 on the Richter scale) are noted annually. Every 18 months the fault releases a shock of 4.0 or more, capable of local minor damage. The most recent registering 4.3 along the New Madrid Fault on Thanksgiving evening, 1996, which was felt by citizens in the states of Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky, Illinois and Mississippi. Magnitudes of 5.0 or greater occurring about once per decade, can do significant damage, and be felt in several states.

      THE HIGHEST EARTHQUAKE RISK in the UNITED STATES outside the West Coast is along the New Madrid Fault. Damaging tremors are not as frequent as in California, but when they occur, the destruction covers over more than 20 times the area because of underlying geology.

      A DAMAGING EARTHQUAKE in this AREA, 6.0 or greater, occur about every 80 years (the last one in 1895). The results would cause serious damage to schools and masonry buildings from Memphis to St Louis.

      A MAJOR EARTHQUAKE in this AREA, 7.5 or greater, happens every 200- 300 years (the last one in 1812). There is a 25% chance by 2040. A New Madrid Fault rupture this size would be felt throughout half the United States and damage 20 states or more. Missouri alone could anticipate losses of at least $6 billion from such an event.

      THE GREAT NEW MADRID EARTHQUAKE OF 1811-1812 was actually a series of over 2000 shocks in five months, five of which were 8.0 or more in magnitude. Eighteen of these rang church bells on the Eastern seaboard. The very land itself was destroyed in the Missouri Bootheel, making it unfit even for farmers for many years. It was the largest burst of seismic energy east of the Rocky Mountains in the history of the United States and was several times larger than the San Francisco quake of 1906.

      WHEN WILL ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE HAPPEN THE SIZE OF THOSE IN 1811-1812? Several lines of research suggest that the catastrophic upheavals like those in 1811-12 visit the New Madrid region every 500-600 years. Hence, emergency planners, engineers, and seismologists do not expect a repeat of the intensity of the 1811-12 series for at least 100 years or more. However, even though the chance is remote, experts assign a 3% probability of a major earthquake by the year 2040. Earthquake probabilities for known active faults always increase with time, because stresses within the earth slowly and inexorably mount, year by year, until the rocks can take no more, and sudden rupture becomes inevitable.

      OUR GREATEST CONCERNS ARE THE 6.0-7.6 SIZED EVENTS, which do have significant probabilities in the near future. A 6.0 shock has a 90% chance by the year 2040. Damaging earthquakes of this magnitude are a virtual certainly within the lifetimes of our children.

      WHAT is the RICHTER SCALE? The Richter Scale of earthquake magnitude is a measure of the energy released at the source of an earthquake deep within the earth. It is determined by measuring the amplitudes of ground motion on seismograms. An earthquake has a fixed amount of energy and only one Richter magnitude.
      HOW MUCH INCREASE in ENERGY DOES EACH UNIT of the RICHTER SCALE REPRESENT? It is incorrect to say that each unit of the Richter scale corresponds to a tenfold increase in energy. Each unit, say from 5.2 to 6.2, actually represents 31.6 times difference in energy release. Every two units represent 1,000 times more energy, and every two-tenths of a unit represents double the energy.

      IF a FAULT HAS LOTS of LITTLE EARTHQUAKES, WILL LARGER ONES BE PREVENTED? The answer is, "NO". A magnitude 6.0 (which is damaging) is 1,000 times more energy than a 4.0 (which is not damaging). An 8.0 (which is devastating) is 1,000 times larger than a 6.0. In other words, a fault would have to have 1,000 4.0 events to prevent the occurrence of a single 6.0, or a million 4.0 events (1,000 times 1,000) to prevent a single 8.0.

      Before an Earthquake strikes there are a few simple and inexpensive precautions you can take to lessen the potential damage but more importantly to lessen injuries. Know your environment, understand what has the potential for falling, rolling or swinging when an earthquake strikes.

      I'm not arguing the fact that this fault zone produces earthquakes. What I disagree with is the statement that the oil reservoir can increase the Seismic activity of this region.

      Well that and I believe the wording for rearrangement of the mantel is inappropriate, but that is really more of a minor issue and can be overlooked as I do understand the sentiment while still disagreeing with the wording.

      A vertical inversion swap of oil and solid matter is occurring all around the world is minor? Resulting in the planet growing possibly smaller causing mantel sliding, so the ground under our feet [and buildings and bridges and cars] slip sliding away is "minor".

      Not if you're standing on it when it happens.

      So are you referring to this one incidence? Are you referring to the damage of the process collectively?

      As for the planet growing smaller, that on seems off base. Sinkholes. Yes. Sinkholes causing a lot of damage. Yes. Sinkholes causing localized Seismic activity. Yes. Sinkholes causing tidal waves. Yes. Making the planet smaller. No.

      No not this one time. I'm talking global, and the upward pressure the oil is down there providing our upper world to remain our upward world. When we suck OUT the lower world contents -crude oil- we not only lose the displacement we also lose the upward pressure.

      I can claim the world above is getting closer to the possibly-nuclear earth's core and you can't prove me wrong.

      So what we are doing -globally- is creating a lake inversion that happens every Fall. We're swapping out the bottom with the top. I happen to think that's rather STUPID thing ta do, especially since I designed a tornadic dynamo of a natural engine using steam heat and super cold compressed air to be 1500% more powerful than combustion engines.

      The only thing I really disagree with, is the usage; specifically stating the world is getting smaller. I completely agree with the argument that the areas that are drilled will collapse over time, I just don't feel that stating the world is getting smaller because of that is accurate.

      Just because I disagree with aspects (specifically the wording) of a statement does not mean I disagree with the idea being expressed. The wording of a statement is very important, because if done incorrectly it can lead to false assumptions about reality that have a way of taking off like wildfire.

      I agree with your feelings about the stupidity of humanity, in this folly of a process That I like to term "The Petro-Industrial Complex".

      Although I can not say anything towards the nature of devices I have not seen or been more informed of. Though I must say after giving time to congeal on what you have stated about your devices, it does seem as though I have heard about it before. I just can't place when or where. Deja vu.

      Well, your disagreement is based on an assumption that the oil drillers have also made, that the oil underneath us is in separate caverns that aren't connected, therefore drilling and pumping oil in one place is not possibly having an effect anyplace else. I'm not that super intelligent that I can make that assumption.

      I believe if a person errs they should err on the side of safety, so I assume they are connected moreso than we want to think. I think your assumption is the one that is more likely to be false than mine. If I am wrong => no harm is done; if you and the oil driller money-driven selves are wrong we have a problem on Planet Houston.

      I try to look at the big picture and I like the word SURVIVAL written all over it. My personal belief is that God has a plan to cause a replay of Creation. I get that from Jesus' quote at Matthew 19 vs 28. If such a re-Creation is in his pipeline then the sky is the limit what is about to happen. Draining an exaggerated amount of oil from under the ground well, we were already facing Peak Oil...

      Which I understand is being contested but let's say the oil total (ind'g this spill) is lessening the upward pressure holding our world UP and STABLE, ok? Then the world, if it is to be restored to what it was in the beginning (Genesis), then a great amount of the ocean water has to be returned into the Earth's upper atmosphere.

      And the atmosphere goes HIGHER if we drop LOWER. My opinion is we are barely at the beginning of this ride. It will take a great deal of heat to evaporate water back into the condition back then as stated at Genesis 1 vs 7 (waters above the expanse). Of course to people who don't believe as I do they would see these expenditures of energy as a disaster. It's a course correction that has to be made to restore to us our inheritance of everlasting life that was lost.

      My engines? They are rather unique combinations & synergies of Physics Laws. I say they run on "Physics Fuel". No fuels are combusted. Just as Sweet as real sugar but no calories.

      I understand your concerns, there is just no evidence that this is the case. I don't really care to make assumptions, just make conclusions on the available evidence. The evidence points towards these pockets being isolated; so that is the conclusion, that they are isolated.

      No conclusion is complete with out all the evidence, which sadly we will not have in the near future. If evidence is shown to prove these conclusions incorrect we will adjust our conclusions to suit the evidence. One should never try the opposite however, as this can lead to other problem;, maybe not in this particular area but most definitely in others.

      At the end of the day though, at least on this particular subject. the point either which way is moot. We should be phasing out oil based technologies for a multitude of reasons, with some of the strongest reasons being surprisingly economic and not ecological. Although peak oil production is still contested there is enough evidence to conclude, that in the very least, it is fast approaching; thus if societies still depend on oil techs without a sufficiently developed replacement technology we are looking at a complete world collapse of existing developed nations (probably worse than the Great Depression). We should really invest in alternative technologies for the security of the nation as a whole.

      Here is a link to an awesome documentary "A Crude Awakening"

      http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/a-crude-awakening-the-oil-crash/

      I can't remember if this on talks about the economic assassin stuff, if it does I would disregard this, at least for the moment. There just isn't any solid evidence for it's occurrence. The rest of the stuff seems to be dead on though.

      That's not even taking into consideration, all of the ecological problems or the economic problems that arise from these ecological problems. At the end of the day it is really important to shift away from oil dependent tech, processes, and manufacturing.

      However it should be stated that there are some very human reasons why we won't shift from these techs immediately. One can see it in human behavior. People just really don't invent something, or if they do it doesn't become implemented, until we have no other alternative or it is seen as directly and personally beneficial to us. Yes, we all know of the ecological problems from these processes, but it is hard to empirically see this for the everyday person. People don't really tend to put much faith in research, for whatever reason. So the challenge is to get the research to correspond to an individuals understanding of their personal reality. I must say that the current situation can be shown to be such a case, if it is presented in the right way. I do hope that the current example is not lost on the general population, but who knows.

    • I read about escalating troubles in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. I read about more and more people starving, genocide in various parts of the world, and as investigations move forward, even more pollutants than we ever imagined taking place in various parts of this planet.
      People becoming sick and dying from it. Animals dying from it. Foliage being stripped from the lands to make way for poisonous GM foods and more starving people. Ground waters so polluted it cannot be used for crops or drinking.

      Perhaps Mother Earth has had her fill. Humans have polluted her air, water and land. We have killed her minions by the hundreds of thousands, we have helped countless species go extinct and we may have finally become more than just annoying to her.
      She may be using her own slow way to make humans extinct.
      Of course, we'll help her along with nukes and/or manmade biological hazards.

      FOX news - on Democrats objection to Bush lifting ban of deepwater drilling
      Circa 2008
      Democrats contend that oil interest-tied Republicans are only seeking to expand oil companies' territory, and are ignoring land already available for oil exploration.

      And Democrats are pointing to 68 MILLION ACRES of federal land, to which they say oil companies hold leases allowing them to explore but are GOING UNUSED

      Gigantic gas reserves have recently been found in Central Louisiana (Haynesville Trend) and Pennsylvania and New York State( Marcellus Trend), some of the greatest in the World. However, recovery requires masssive hydraulic (sp) fracturing of the formation, with fluid returns that do not meet all of the environmental concerns. Yet this still gives us some hope for relieving the U.S. from from deepwater or foreign oil dependence.

      They don't drill in places they own land in order to keep the price of oil up. When they get low in other places they can then start on the land they own. If you get too much oil available at once the prices would bottom out and the profits would suffer.

    • from : AP: Phantom BP Test?
      ALLEN G. BREED and CURT ANDERSON,
      Associated Press
      May 14, 2010/buzbeelawfirm
      http://www.txattorneys.com/news-169.html

      Details of a likely blowout scenario emerged this week for the first time from congressional and administrative hearings. They suggest there were both crew mistakes and equipment breakdowns at key points the day of the explosion.

      Buzbee said that when Halliburton showed BP PLC and Transocean officials the results of the pressure tests that suggested gas was leaking, the rig workers were put on "standby." BP is the rig operator and leaseholder.

      Buzbee said one of his clients told him the "Transocean and BP company people got their heads together," and 40 minutes later gave the green light.

      The attorney said the Halliburton crew members were not shown any new test results.

      "They said they did their own tests, and they came out OK," he said. "But with the phantom test that Transocean and BP allegedly did, there was no real record or real-time recordation of that test."

      so for the illiterates out there;

      (A) Haliburton tests suggest gas was leaking.
      (B) Haliburton, BP, and PLC all agreed it was fine, after a supposed "retesting" by Haliburton, that has no real record or real-time documentation.
      (C) they new the whole time!

    • It is rare, but can occur. If the well suffers a blow out of gas and oil on the outside of the casing, real problems will begin. The gas release will bubble to the surface reducing the water surface tension and sink any vessels in the gas plume vinicity. This is usually what an oil company refers to as seabed damage. Capping the well could lead to more problems if casing downhole has been compromised.

    • People, you're missing the big point. When this oil finishes leaking out we will then have a re-arrangement of the mantle that will most likely set off earthquakes and cause other problems. The most dangerous of the fault lines that could be affected by this is the New Madrid fault. If this fault line were to go off it could be the worst earthquake ever felt in North America, possibly the worst in history.

      BS verssrev, did you read up to find out if what I said was true? Why not? I did before stating it.

      Google: New Madrid Faul, the previous was the largest earthquake ever on this continent, the next will be worse. The Mississippi River reversed its flow the last time this fault went off. Geesh, people, read and then read some more.

      The only thing I could alter would be the word 'rearrangement' and replace it with slipping of the mantel but 'rearrangement' is just another word for slipping or moving.

      for a bit of basic info

      http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/states/events/1811-1812.php#december_16

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Madrid_Seismic_Zone

      First off your statement that the Mississippi flowed backwards is incorrect. It is not possible with out a dramatic shift in elevation along the entire length of the river. Second the New Madrid fault line does not rest near this oil reservoir. Third, the exact nature of the reservoir would have to be known to confirm such wild accusations, which it is not.
      Fourth, I find unproven hypothesizes touted as a likely occurrence to be laughable. Thus why it is unfounded.

      Yes the New Madrid fault has caused problems in the past, but at best what is being presented is a chain reaction scenario that would require thousands of possibilities to line up for it to occur. It is highly unlikely that if the reservoir where to collapse it would create little more than local oil contamination, seismic activity, and maybe tidal waves. All of these possibilities suck to say the least, however that does not support your claims. Your claims amount to the H1N1 hype, a lot of worrying with no real evidence to support the fears.

      Oh, and just to be clear on something; the burden of proof is always on those that make claims for the existence of a phenomenon, possible occurrence, or predictions to the way the world works or will behave, and not those that deny claims without evidence.

      Now, after you lick your wounds pussy cat, I'll return later to prove how the Gulf Oil reservoir collapse could set this puppy off. You could have done this research on your own, your belief that it's up to the person posting just shows that you want information spoon fed to you. The only way to truly absorb the information is to make a concerted effort to obtain it on your own. You should use the posts as a way to pique your curiosity on a subject and then go hunt down the information. Instead, you don't bother to qualify yourself with research before calling something BS. All this does is confuse the issue and cause yourself and the rest of us to expend more time seeking the truth.

      That article specifically states that ripple patterns made it APPEAR that the river flowed backwards, it never actually did flow backwards. You have clearly illustrated your ineptitude with reading comprehension, thus proving that every thing you post, write, or say should be handled with a great deal of skepticism. You clearly do not possess the cognitive skills to make judgments for yourself about the nature of reality, what constitutes evidence, and how to create a coherent, consistent, and testable hypothesis on natural phenomenon.

      Your statements hold no cognitive, scientific, logical, or even empirical validity. Thus leaving only two clear possibilities.

      1. Your ignorant.

      2. Your a troll

      I'm putting my money on number 2.
