Relief Wells Are Useless, We Can't Stop This Oil Gusher

BP and their affiliated and unaffiliated spokespeople are hilarious. For the public, at least. Maybe that's their plan. They've decided that the situation is so hopeless that they will just put on a big comedy show for us with several acts. Behind closed doors, one can only imagine what happens when the facade ends. What are they talking about? What sort of contingencies and strategies are they actually considering? Surely they are not this naive, this ignorant. It makes no sense. So, the only logical conclusion we can come to is that they are entertaining us. So Maybe we should thank BP for their humorous sideshow.

The NOAA Ship Thomas Jefferson is an oceanic research vessel. Stacked with scientists who have studied the Gulf for years and years. If we need to know what is happening, we have the Jefferson to turn to. No BP execs or shareholders, mainstream media puppets or government Bobbleheads.

The research vessel, which compiled research data late on Sunday, says that the oil flow is around 120,000 barrels per day. Over 5 million gallons a day (1 barrel =42 gallons). The report also found that an oil lake has formed below the water's surface that covers 40% of the Gulf of Mexico. Matt Simmons, oil industry veteran of more than 35 years, was on Bloomberg June 15th reiterating his unflinching position that the only way to stop this oil volcano is to nuke the rock and turn it into glass. He also said the relief wells are useless now that the well casing has been eroded.

We now know that BP was aware of cracks in the oil well up to two months before the explosion. They have obviously been misleading us on the flow rate estimates. The mainstream media is just a delivery vehicle for BP press releases. Stop listening. It will only distract you from the truth. "He is a fool who only sees the mischiefs that are past." -Homer

This thing is bad. It just gets worse everyday. And that isn't just an expression. This thing literally gets worse every single day. Every hour. The only reason you don't know that this is already bigger than the 1979 Ixtoc 1 spill is because you are being hand-fed BS. Forget about anything that has happened before. This isn't that. This is unique in history and will be remembered forever in the mind of man. On Sept. 2, 2009, BP hinted that there was around 250 million barrels of oil in the reserve they tapped. Although, since the leak started, they have realized its probably only 100 million barrels. In other words there's a lot of oil spewing but we have only just scratched the surface.

It's the classic question that everybody knows the answer to: If the government or a group knew that a mega disaster was underway but they also knew they couldn't do anything about it, would they tell you? The answer to this question is obviously "no". So don't expect to get a straight answer from BP or the spokespeople of various government groups. You look at the information and decide. You make the call. This is what is happening, what do you want to do about it? Do we think we are the invincible holders of all knowledge, impermeable to our own flaws and misguided pursuits? The forces we are trying to "contain" and "control" here are not subject to man's ego. They will make sure that we were fully prepared to take them on. They will use all of their power to test our so-called technology. Maybe we thought this was a game. It's not. And even if it was, could we win?

Do Lies Matter?

Or, perhaps more aptly put, does truth matter?

BP Still maintains that the amount of oil flowing from the the hole in the ocean's floor is nearly impossible to determine despite a near unanimous consensus amongst leading experts and scientists that it is not only possible but actually quite simple to determine the flow, averaging out the results of several methods. Although it is "impossible" to know according
to BP, they still somehow come up with the magic 5000 number. 5,000 barrels a day. They stick to it like its fly paper. Gee, I wonder why all those silly scientist folk say that the real number is somewhere between 70,000-100,000 barrels per day (See posts below).

Things Are Getting Worse, BP Suppresses Truth
Engineering professor Bob Bea at the University of California at Berkeley, who has spent more than 55 years working and studying oil rigs, says that the oil spewing from the abominable drill scar is getting darker in color, and that is disastrous news. The darker oil is highly toxic and only further endangers the species of the oceans. I say oceans because this spill has entered into the loop current which will push it out into the open sea beyond the gulf. Oh ya, BP says the darker oil doesn't matter. The monstrous, underwater oil plumes are roaming the gulf killing everything in sight and creating dead-zones devoid of life. Unfortunately, I'm not exaggerating or making this stuff up.


And, I don't wanna freak you out, but did the Hopi foresee this oil disaster in their ancient prophecies? Weird.

Does it matter that BP lies at the detriment of precious ecosystems that took billions of years to evolve? I guess not. Humanity must be an infant to disregard the immediacy and urgency that this "accident" requires. Planet Earth must be feeling stretched to her limits, trying to provide for us as we ravage the support structures that hold the web of life together.
