A Special Report on the BP Gulf Oil Spill
Concerned Citizens of Florida...

By Dr. Tom Termotto



It is with deep regret that we publish this report. We do not take this responsibility lightly, as the consequences of the following observations are of such great import and have such far-reaching ramifications for the entire planet. Truly, the fate of the oceans of the world hangs in the balance, as does the future of humankind.

The Gulf of Mexico (GOM) does not exist in isolation and is, in fact, connected to the Seven Seas. Hence, we publish these findings in order that the world community will come together to further contemplate this dire and demanding predicament. We also do so with the hope that an appropriate global response will be formulated, and acted upon, for the sake of future generations. It is the most basic responsibility for every civilization to leave their world in a better condition than that which they inherited from their forbears.

After conducting the Gulf Oil Spill Remediation Conference for over seven months, we can now disseminate the following information with the authority and confidence of those who have thoroughly investigated a crime scene. There are many research articles, investigative reports and penetrating exposes archived at the following website. Particularly those posted from August through November provide a unique body of evidence, many with compelling photo-documentaries, which portray the true state of affairs at the Macondo Prospect in the GOM.

    • Wow! Oil Spill killed 11 people, economic disaster for thousands and millions peoples health affected and the Trans.Atlantic, responsible for parts of the Oil rig, gave the same executive involved a 400,000 dollar bonus for best safety record. WOW! ONLY IN AMERICA, DREAM OR NIGHTMARE.
      CORPORATIONS WILL FU_CK YOU FOR A BUCK!

    • Death pushes against our fort walls on every front. Expect very high casualties from the line. Less casualties farthest from the line.

      But they have their own fortresses and lines. Criss-cross, death begins to cover the planet like a fine gauze.

    • We have been killing off the Gulf @ the Mouth of the Mississippi for years. All BP and TraqnsOcean did was to finish it off.

      (and there are still people who do not have enough sense to keep themselves from falling for corporate lies or from working for them to help them reach their goals at our expense...it is sickening and as insidious as cancer)

      That would be very unlikley due to the relative insignificance of the leak and the dispersant. In human turms the amounts are massive, but compared to the volume of ocean water you're talking a bucketful.

      Scaling back from wild hyperbole- YES there will be lasting effects on various sealife in specifc areas where this waste tends to clump, but in reality they face far greater danger from rising temperetures due to climate change and from being overfished.

      Exactly how much of this liquid do you imagine was poured into the gulf? I don't think you have any idea of the volumes and the sizes involved in the ocean. It's really quite astounding the amount you must of had to exaggerate to in order to reach such a conclusion.

      There WILL indeed be negative effects from the oil and dispersant, but not on the scale of your homoeopathic imaginings. Most of that material will form clumps and have serious negative effects on certain specific areas where that clumping of material occurs. It's physically impossible for it to cause damage on the scale you imagine unless it magically self replicates.

      Actually, if you look at the amount of water in the Gulf of Mexico VS the amount of oil spilled from Deep Water Horizon plus the dispersant released, it's almost insignificant.

      You're talkig about massive change over the whole area, which is nonsense. The oil spill IS bad but mostly in limited areas where the concentration was greatest. You simply cannot talk about it in terms of the entire gulf. There isn't enough oil there to spill that would cause such issues.

      206,000,000 Gallons of oil spilled VS 643 quadrillion gallons of water.
      Or in metric:
      779,000 cubic meters of oil spilled VS 2,434,000 cubic kilometres of water

      Don't be a moron.
      I'm probably far more knowledgeable and far more of an advocate for environmental causes than you or this "samantha" character. The difference is that I think about these things in terms of real science, logic and facts- and that gives me a better informed idea of what's happening.

      Cut the fucking hyperbole, it is NOT informing us on this issue

    • What is the area extent of these continuing leakages of hydrocarbons along these faults , vaporisation of methane hydrates due to warming effect of these leaking hydrocarbons and rapid mass depletion caused by continuing sub-seabed erosion? Judging by the number of reported quake-swarms, we are pretty close to the point of no return if we have not passed that point yet.

      So far the quakes had been low magnitude between 2 to 4 on the Richter Scale. FEMA is expecting a major quake disaster similar to the recent Christchurch Quake in New Zealand. As we have seen, the shallow quakes are more devastating than a deep one at the base of the crust. The New Madrid Fault is an intra-plate tectonically stressed zone. It behaves very differently from the tectonic plate margins.

      Since these shallow intra-plate quakes had been unleashed by the drilling and blowouts at the Macondo prospect, it makes sense to monitor closely the seafloor and the continental shelf edges. Mapping the gas vents in the vicinity of these faults and shelf edges would go a long way to making accurate predictions of what to expect in the vicinity of the New Madrid Fault zone. More powerful need not necessarily be more devastating but one thing is for sure, the disaster has not ended yet despite what you have been told. Christchurch was hit by a hidden fault (???)

      New_Zealand_Earthquake_Science By ALICIA CHANG, AP Science Writer–Tue Feb22, 6:10pmET

      No one died in that early morning quake — which was 11 times stronger — mainly because it was centered farther away, about 30 miles west of the city center. It was also twice as deep as Tuesday’s aftershock. Shallower quakes tend to be more damaging.

      LOS ANGELES – The latest New Zealand earthquake was a deadly combination of distance, depth and timing. While weaker than the one that rocked the area last September, it did more damage and cost lives, primarily because of its location. Tuesday’s magnitude-6.3 quake was centered about 3 miles from the populated hub of Christchurch, toppling buildings, killing dozens and trapping others. It was also only about 3 miles deep and occurred during the middle of a workday when commercial buildings were filled with employees.The jolt “is squarely beneath the city itself,” said seismologist Egill Hauksson of the California Institute of Technology. “All the old historic buildings are being shaken more violently than they were built to withstand.” Scientists classified it as an aftershock of the powerful magnitude-7 that struck last Sept. 4.

    • Are Shallow Earthquakes Associated with the New Madrid Fault & BP’s Mega Oil Spill?
      Posted on March 1, 2011 by concernedcitizensofflorida

      Shallow Earthquakes Associated with the New Madrid Fault & BP’s Mega Oil Spill.

      Is there a common factor between the quake off Fort Morgan on 18 Feb 2010 and the recent swarm of quakes occurring in the vicinity of the New Madrid Fault zone? You are right if the BP Mega Oil spill and the Deepwater Horizon blowout on 20 April 2010 come to mind.

      They are all quakes similar to the disastrous 22 Feb 2011 quake that occured close to Christshurch in New Zealand. Their shallow epicentres are off the main tectonic (or intra-plate) main fault lines. There are significant differences though, especially in magnitude and tectonic plate settings. The recent NZ disaster was more devastating than an earlier quake 11 times more powerful with its epicentre on the plate margin.

      Since the 2 Aug 2010 quake at Louisiana, we have been warning of more occurrences of such shallow low magnitude quakes. See figure 145-1 which shows some of the hidden series of NW-SE strike-slip fault lines typical of intra-plate movement. The fault chart (prepared in August and updated only with annotations) was only published on 10 Nov 2010, Update On BP Rigs Location & the Fault Connection. The consequence of the continuing corosive erosion along these faults by leaking hydrocarbons from deep reservoirs (not only from the Macondo prospect) is the release in stresses between the upper and lower crust; resulting in shallow quakes of generally low magnitude. This was mentioned in a recent article, first written on 14 Feb and updated 20 Feb 2011.

      ~~~start of quote~~~Silencing The Independent Voices Of Truth On The BP’s Mega Oil Spill GOM

      For millions of years, the southeastern part of the North American tectonic plate (south-east of the New Madrid Fault line) has been thrusting in a northeasterly direction while the western half of the plate has been moving south along the San Andreas fault line. This is the main reason for the present gulf seabed morphology.

      The resultant torsion tension is reflected by the fault pattern illustrated in a previous article, BP’s Rigs Location & Fault Connection. Besides lateral stresses, vertical stresses also developed between the upper and lower section of the tectonic blocks due to differential upper and lower slide movement. The abnormal occurrences of hundreds of shallow and low magnitude earthquakes since the Macondo blowout are the direct consequence of the continual release of these pent-up stress zones. FEMA recently sent out RFI (request for information) to identify vendors for the emergency supply of food rations, various fuels and hydration in support of disaster relief efforts based on a catastrophic disaster event within the New Madrid Fault system for a survivor population of 7 million to be utilised for the sustainment of life during a 10-day period of operations. Is FEMA responding to privileged information of an impending disaster in the New Madrid Fault area, 9 months after the BP’s Mega-oil Spill disaster?

    • I can't resist. I'm about to copy and paste various sections from this report, starting with this one...

      The pictorial evidence tells the whole story.

      Especially that the BP narrative is nothing but a corporate-created illusion – a web of fabrication spun in collaboration with the US Federal Government and Mainstream Media. Big Oil, as well as the Military-Industrial Complex, have aided and abetted this whole scheme and info blackout because the very future of the Oil & Gas Industry is at stake, as is the future of the US Empire and War-Making Machine which sprawls around the world and requires vast amounts of hydrocarbon fuel.

      Should the truth seep out and into the mass consciousness – that the GOM is slowly but surely filling up with oil and gas – certainly many would rightly question the integrity, and sanity, of the whole venture, as well as the entire industry itself. And then perhaps the process would begin of transitioning the planet away from the hydrocarbon fuel paradigm altogether.

    • In particular, this sentence stabbed me in the heart...

      "The Gulf of Mexico ... does not exist in isolation and is, in fact, connected to the Seven Seas. "
