Mother of all Gushers - (Discussion Only Thread)

[Gita]

Whether an accident or actions of psychopaths, the fact remains that this disaster for humankind and animal kingdom is one step towards their perverted one world government. The expense of all this will no doubt fall on the people (tax payers) which obviously is not good for the already failing economy. Collapse of the dollar comes to mind leading to one world currency and one world government. It seems there’s nothing these ‘people’ won't do to achieve their goals.

Well, that smelly brown stuff seems to be heading closer to that big fan; maybe we can collectively turn it round yes.

Switching off the fan may be a start!!!

Well that would be cool, cause I don't think I turned it on in the first place, never wanted the darn thing on.

Leaked Confidential Report on Disaster in the Gulf: Deepwater Oil Well Could Become Unchecked Gusher

'The following is not public' document states

A confidential government report on the unfolding spill disaster in the Gulf makes clear the Coast Guard now fears the well could become an unchecked gusher shooting millions of gallons of oil per day into the Gulf.

"The following is not public," reads the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Emergency Response document dated April 28. "Two additional release points were found today in the tangled riser. If the riser pipe deteriorates further, the flow could become unchecked resulting in a release volume an order of magnitude higher than previously thought."

Asked Friday to comment on the document, NOAA spokesman Scott Smullen said that the additional leaks described were reported to the public late Wednesday night. Regarding the possibility of the spill becoming an order of magnitude larger, Smullen said, "I'm letting the document you have speak for itself."

In scientific circles, an order of magnitude means something is 10 times larger. In this case, an order of magnitude higher would mean the volume of oil coming from the well could be 10 times higher than the 5,000 barrels a day coming out now. That would mean 50,000 barrels a day, or 2.1 million gallons a day. It appears the new leaks mentioned in the Wednesday release are the leaks reported to the public late Wednesday night.

"There is no official change in the volume released but the USCG is no longer stating that the release rate is 1,000 barrels a day," continues the document, referred to as report No. 12. "Instead they are saying that they are preparing for a worst-case release and bringing all assets to bear."

The emergency document also states that the spill has grown in size so quickly that only 1 to 2 percent of it has been sprayed with dispersants.

The Press-Register obtained the emergency report from a government official. The White House, NOAA, the Coast Guard and BP Plc did not immediately return calls for comment made early this morning.

The worst-case scenario for the broken and leaking well pouring oil into the Gulf of Mexico would be the loss of the wellhead and kinked piping currently restricting the flow to 5,000 barrels -- or 210,000 gallons -- per day.

 LATER REPORT: Video shows federal officials knew quickly of potential for massive oil flow in Gulf spill
If the wellhead is lost, oil could leave the well at a much greater rate.

"Typically, a very good well in the Gulf can produce 30,000 barrels a day, but that's under control. I have no idea what an uncontrolled release could be," said Stephen Sears, chairman of the petroleum engineering department at Louisiana State University.

On Thursday, federal officials said they were preparing for the worst-case scenario but didn't elaborate.

Kinks in the piping created as the rig sank to the seafloor may be all that is preventing the Deepwater Horizon well from releasing its maximum flow. BP is now drilling a relief well as the ultimate fix. The company said Thursday that process would take up to 3 months.

"I'm not sure what's happening down there right now. I have heard there is a kink in what's called the riser. The riser is a long pipe that connects the wellhead to the rig. I really don't know if that kink is a big restriction. Is that really a big restriction? There could be another restriction further down," said LSU's Sears.

"An analogy would be if you have a kink in a garden hose. You suspect that kink is restricting the flow, but there could be another restriction or kink somewhere else closer to the faucet.

BP Plc executive Doug Suttles said Thursday the company was worried about "erosion" of the pipe at the wellhead.

Sand is an integral part of the formations that hold oil under the Gulf. That sand, carried in the oil as it shoots through the piping, is blamed for the ongoing erosion described by BP.

"The pipe could disintegrate. You've got sand getting into the pipe, it's eroding the pipe all the time, like a sandblaster," said Ron Gouguet, a former oil spill response coordinator for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

"When the oil is removed normally, it comes out at a controlled rate. You can still have abrasive particles in that. Well, now, at this well, its coming out at fairly high velocity," Gouguet continued. "Any erosive grains are abrading the inside of the pipe and all the steel that comes in contact with the liquid. It's essentially sanding away the pipe."

Gouguet said the loss of a wellhead is totally unprecedented.

"How bad it could get from that, you will have a tremendous volume of oil that is going to be offgassing on the coast. Depending on how much wind is there, and how those gases build up, that's a significant health concern," he said.

The formation that was being drilled by Deepwater Horizon when it exploded and sank last week is reported to have tens of millions of barrels of oil. A barrel contains 42 gallons.

Smullen described the NOAA document as a regular daily briefing. "Your report makes it sound pretty dire. It's a scenario," he said, "It's a regular daily briefing sheet that considered different scenarios much like any first responder would."

The ocean is a rich blue. But suddenly we see what this crisis is all about
...
The tiny isle is trembling with thousands of birds – gulls and pelicans mostly – and there is no mistaking what else we see. Oil, some in clumps the size of mop-heads, is now sliming its shores. The sand is blackening and the booms that have been laid here seem immune to the advance.
"Take us home, Burt." We have seen what we came to see and it is disgusting. For days we have been reporting on a calamity we had been unable to witness. Now we have. And it is lurid in its awfulness. My last sighting before we cross the edge of land again near New Orleans: a group of dolphins playing. How far away is the oil? Ten minutes flying, or less.

Thank Dick Cheney for Gulf Oil Spill

(NEWSER) – The scope of the Gulf oil spill is far from clear, but the finger-pointing is already under way, and a lot of fingers ought to be aiming at Dick Cheney, Alex Pareene blogs for Salon. Connecting the dots that begin with a Wall Street Journal exposé, we learn that Cheney's highly classified energy task force was responsible for the fact "that the oil well didn't have a remote-control shut-off switch," Pareene writes, "a thing that it seems every single offshore drilling rig should have."

"The former Dark Lord of the Naval Observatory" is no rookie at covering his tracks, but the follow-up argument is a no-brainer: "Halliburton is involved, too! The Los Angeles Times reports that BP contracted Dick Cheney's old company to cement the deepwater drill hole." In short, Pareene writes, "Thanks, Dick. Nice work."

It also appears that there were doubts on whether the cement had cured, watch minute 8:06 more or less https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...ll=1#post18245, whether that is the cause or it is just and additional fact that contributed to the final outcome, I guess we will never know for certain because the evidence is 5000 mtrs under the sea

Oil Spill: Company says it has solution for oil spill, but being ignored

St Petersburg, Florida -- With the disaster in the Gulf keeping everyone on edge looking for a solution, the answer might lay in material manufactured by a Columbian company with an office in Florida.
The company, Global Environmental Technology, has a product that is 100 percent organic and was invented in 1998 by its president, Carlos Forero. He won science competitions in Switzerland and Austria for the product, which encapsulates oil and cleans the material up.

Not only does the product clean up the oil, it can also be recycled for use afterwards. In addition, if birds are contaminated, the product can used for them as well.
You would think that with the disaster in the Gulf, and oil spilling out and heading to the beaches, the Coast Guard would be interested in the product. However, the company says all they are getting is red tape and getting nowhere.

Liz Cabot, Forero's sister, says the Coast Guard said come back when they got EPA approval. When EPA reviewed the product and said it could be used, the company went back to the Coast Guard and Cabot says they were told they had to fill out paperwork. Cabot says they have been waiting and waiting for the paperwork to clear.
And while the paperwork is being cleared, the oil continues to spread in the Gulf.

Hey its great that we all are contributing here....keep up the great work. Lets pray...

Thought this was apt!!

She is giving birth

Thick clouds and cold air

confuse the expectation

as if we’re turning retrograde

toward winter;

talk in a coffee shop

about weird weather,

looking to the sky for light;

in the Gulf of Mexico

Gaia’s artery lays open

altering the sea irrevocably;

fish and birds are witness

to a threshold crossed;

sky brightens through the clouds

but an eerie sense remains

of a strange new time;

Gaia integrates, this is nature

but who will attend Her labor?

The wet leaves receive what comes

and out to sea there is a cry,

the earth trembling;

She is giving birth.

Since Spill, Feds Have Given 27 Waivers to Oil Companies in Gulf

'Since the Deepwater Horizon oil drilling rig exploded on April 20, the Obama administration has granted oil and gas companies at least 27 exemptions from doing in-depth environmental studies of oil exploration and production in the Gulf of Mexico.

The waivers were granted despite President Barack Obama’s vow that his administration would launch a “relentless response effort” to stop the leak and prevent more damage to the gulf. One of them was dated Friday — the day after Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said he was temporarily halting offshore drilling.'

WHY IS THIS WAR CRIMINAL STILL WALKING AROUND?

A common spin in the right wing coverage of BP's oil spill is a gleeful
suggestion that the gulf blowout is Obama's Katrina.

In truth, culpability for the disaster can more accurately be laid at
the Bush Administration's doorstep. For eight years, George Bush's
presidency infected the oil industry's oversight agency, the Minerals
Management Service, with a septic culture of corruption from which it
has yet to recover. Oil patch alumnae in the White House encouraged
agency personnel to engineer weakened safeguards that directly
contributed to the gulf catastrophe.

The absence of an acoustical regulator -- a remotely triggered dead
man's switch that might have closed off BP's gushing pipe at its sea
floor wellhead when the manual switch failed (the fire and explosion on
the drilling platform may have prevented the dying workers from pushing
the button) -- was directly attributable to industry pandering by the
Bush team. Acoustic switches are required by law for all offshore rigs
off Brazil and in Norway's North Sea operations. BP uses the device
voluntarily in Britain's North Sea and elsewhere in the world as do
other big players like Holland's Shell and France's Total. In 2000, the
Minerals Management Service while weighing a comprehensive rulemaking
for drilling safety, deemed the acoustic mechanism "essential" and
proposed to mandate the mechanism on all gulf rigs.

Then, between January and March of 2001, incoming Vice President Dick
Cheney conducted secret meetings with over 100 oil industry officials
allowing them to draft a wish list of industry demands to be implemented
by the oil friendly administration. Cheney also used that time to
re-staff the Minerals Management Service with oil industry toadies
including a cabal of his Wyoming carbon cronies. In 2003, newly
reconstituted Minerals Management Service genuflected to the oil cartel
by recommending the removal of the proposed requirement for acoustic
switches. The Minerals Management Service's 2003 study concluded that
"acoustic systems are not recommended because they tend to be very
costly."

The acoustic trigger costs about $500,000. Estimated costs of the oil
spill to Gulf Coast residents are now upward of $14 billion to gulf
state communities. Bush's 2005 energy bill officially dropped the
requirement for the acoustic switch off devices explaining that the
industry's existing practices are "failsafe."

Bending over for Big Oil became the ideological posture of the Bush
White House, and, under Cheney's cruel whip, the practice trickled down
through the regulatory bureaucracy. The Minerals Management Service --
the poster child for "agency capture phenomena" -- hopped into bed with
the regulated industry -- literally. A 2009 investigation of the
Minerals Management Service found that agency officials "frequently
consumed alcohol at industry functions, had used cocaine and marijuana
and had sexual relationships with oil and gas company representatives."
Three reports by the Inspector General describe an open bazaar of
payoffs, bribes and kickbacks spiced with scenes of female employees
providing sexual favors to industry big wigs who in turn rewarded
government workers with illegal contracts. In one incident reported by
the Inspector General, agency employees got so drunk at a Shell
sponsored golf event that they could not drive home and had to sleep in
hotel rooms paid for by Shell.

Pervasive intercourse also characterized their financial relations.
Industry lobbyists underwrote lavish parties and showered agency
employees with illegal gifts, and lucrative personal contracts and
treated them to regular golf, ski, and paintball outings, trips to rock
concerts and professional sports events. The Inspector General
characterized this orgy of wheeling and dealing as "a culture of ethical
failure" that cost taxpayers millions in royalty fees and produced reams
of bad science to justify unregulated deep water drilling in the gulf.

It is charitable to characterize the ethics of these government
officials as "elastic." They seemed not to have existed at all. The
Inspector General reported with some astonishment that Bush's crew at
the MMS, when confronted with the laundry list of bribery, public theft
and sexual and financial favors to and from industry "showed no
remorse."

BP's confidence in lax government oversight by a badly compromised
agency still staffed with Bush era holdovers may have prompted the
company to take two other dangerous shortcuts. First, BP failed to
install a deep hole shut off valve -- another fail-safe that might have
averted the spill. And second, BP's reported willingness to violate the
law by drilling to depths of 22,000-25,000 feet instead of the 18,000
feet maximum depth allowed by its permit may have contributed to this
catastrophe.

And wherever there's a national tragedy involving oil, Cheney's offshore
company Halliburton is never far afield. In fact, stay tuned;
Halliburton may emerge as the primary villain in this caper. The blow
out occurred shortly after Halliburton completed an operation to
reinforce drilling hole casing with concrete slurry. This is a sensitive
process that, according to government experts, can trigger catastrophic
blowouts if not performed attentively. According to the Minerals
Management Service, 18 of 39 blowouts in the Gulf of Mexico since 1996
were attributed to poor workmanship injecting cement around the metal
pipe. Halliburton is currently under investigation by the Australian
government for a massive blowout in the Timor Sea in 2005 caused by its
faulty application of concrete casing.

The Obama administration has assigned nearly 2,000 federal personnel
from the Coast Guard, the Corps of Engineers, the Department of Defense,
the Department of Commerce, EPA, NOAA and Department of Interior to deal
with the spill -- an impressive response. Still, the current White House
is not without fault -- the government should, for example, be requiring
a far greater deployment of absorbent booms. But the real culprit in
this villainy is a negligent industry, the festering ethics of the Bush
Administration and poor oversight by an agency corrupted by eight years
of grotesque subservience to Big Oil.
