BP Reports Some Success in Capturing Leaking Oil, By SHAILA DEWAN

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/17/us/17spill.html

Published: May 16, 2010

Mr. Wells said he could not yet say how much oil had been captured or what percentage of the oil leaking from a 21-inch riser pipe was now flowing into the 4-inch-wide insertion tube.

[...]

Representative Edward J. Markey, Democrat of Massachusetts and chairman of the Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment, criticized BP, saying it had failed to respond substantively to his requests for more information about how it had reached its estimate of how much oil is leaking. He also said the company had refused to engage independent scientists who might offer a better assessment of the amount.

“BP is burying its head in the sand on these underwater threats,” Mr. Markey said in a written statement on Sunday. “These huge plumes of oil are like hidden mushroom clouds that indicate a larger spill than originally thought and portend more dangerous long-term fallout for the Gulf of Mexico’s wildlife and economy.”

Scientists find vast unreported oil leak from Deepwater Horizon

A plume of oil 10 miles (16km) long, three miles wide and 300ft thick is pouring into the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico from the ruptured Deepwater Horizon oil rig.

The plume is one of a number that scientists have found gushing into the sea a mile underwater, increasing concerns that the size of the spill could be thousands of times larger than has been previously calculated, according to The New York Times.

“There’s a shocking amount of oil in the deep water, relative to what you see in the surface water,” said Samantha Joye, from the University of Georgia, who is involved in one of the first scientific missions to gather information from the spill. “There’s a tremendous amount of oil in multiple layers, three or four or five layers deep in the water column,” Dr Joye told the newspaper.

BP's Latest Attempt to Siphon Oil From Gulf Is Successful, Executives Say

Updated May 16, 2010

Researchers warned Sunday that miles-long (kilometers-long) underwater plumes of oil from the spill could poison and suffocate sea life across the food chain, with damage that could endure for a decade or more.

Researchers have found more underwater plumes of oil than they can count from the blown-out well, said Samantha Joye, a professor of marine sciences at the University of Georgia. She said careful measurements taken of one plume showed it stretching for 10 miles (16 kilometers), with a 3-mile (5-kilometer) width.

Scientists forecast decades of ash clouds: Many more of Iceland’s volcanoes seem to be stirring

Some geologists have also warned of a serious threat from a fourth volcano, Katla, which lies 15 miles to the east of Eyjafjallajokull. Two of its past three eruptions seemed to be triggered by those of its smaller neighbour and a report issued just before Eyjafjallajokull blew suggested Katla was “close to failure [eruption]”.

The three other volcanoes cited by Thordarson as being potentially close to a large eruption are Grimsvotn, Hekla and Askja — all of which are bigger than Eyjafjallajokull.

[...]

Grimsvotn, another highly active volcano, lies under the huge Vatnajokull glacier in Iceland’s southeast. An eruption in 1996 saw much of this glacial ice melt, causing a flood that washed away the country’s main ring road.
It is linked to the massive Laki fissure volcano whose 1783 eruption ejected so much ash into the atmosphere that it cooled the entire northern hemisphere for nearly three years. The resulting low temperatures caused crop failures and famines that killed 2m people and helped trigger the French Revolution.

Thanks for these updates of appalling calamity.
However, it's not about US military "accounting" or "spin" - it's complete FALSIFICATION and LIES on the part of so many.
Truly I believe in fairness and must say the truth about the amount of lying and heavy indoctrination by all branches of American government. Most especially these days those pushing the wars in Afghanistan and heavy interference in Pakistan, subversion of Iran - all those individuals are way over the top in fabrications of completely false information to sell to the supine American public. They are racking up a terrible record for their souls, all those who participate in this stuff: intelligence operatives, etc. They WILL be held ACCOUNTable by God, because it's so evil.

It's not much different than the Soviet governments except there are supposed to be "rights" and "freedoms" here. But instead we are oppressed by the homosexual movement which is like the new Communism: no one can say a word against or punishment is severe. Even that Miss America-elect was deprived of winning due to saying she believed in traditional marriage a year or two ago! It's absurd, and a comparison may be possibly analyzed in detail to maybe the NEP years of Soviet rule? Just throwing out a guess, for the police state had not completely taken over at that time.

I think the observation you made about the power of the US attracting all that what I would characterize as antichrist energy, was original and makes one think.
But our military is not invincible and can NEVER squash "jihadis" - they will win at some point because they have determination. They won't defeat the US on the field but they will harry it enough to make it look bad to the rest of the world. It's more of a moral defeat.

Some alternative media analysts are saying the US NEVER plans to leave Iraq, and that that poor country which suffered ~ 1.3 MILLION DEAD as a result of American attacks and casual killing of any old person on the streets almost for entertainment, so craven have some of those brought up in American culture become - is carved in stone to be a permanent American base to replace Saudi Arabia, land of the two Holy Cities where American military bases have generated much irritation and hatred. Which of course we over here never a word about, as usual.

A hypothesis is that God is trying to FORCE Americans to leave foreign places where they are offensive and oppressive and serving NO good by allowing such repeated disasters as the oil spill to focus attention closer to North America.

I just wish the US govt instead of mouthing empty talk about "God", or going to their soulless Protestant 'services' to impress the public that they are church-goers and thus upright - would actually bend their knees to God and ask to be shown WHY all these things are happening at once.

Could it be God is highly displeased with Obama especially, and permitted all this to blow up at once so all those raving fans, domestic and international, open their eyes and demand a decent individual as leader of this country instead of that sub-demon in a human's body?! Sounds overdone? Look at Obama's facial expressions - smug, arrogant, a demon lives there. No one is at home, so various demons moved into the house.

No spark in his eyes, empty gaze and no individual mannerisms, all stereotyped as American style, circa 2000-2009. Nothing original about him or his wife, who has an evil look in her eyes. Probably they are both ideal vehicles for dark spirits to come and go at random, sometimes using their vocal chords to speak.

A lot of the public is not versed in demonology.Thus that is why the tag of Antichrist has been placed on him because they can't articulate what's "off" about the president.

Two UN-holy Cities. Islam is the most evil religion of false religions, since it denies that Christ was crucified on the cross, it meets the most very basic definition of being the religion of the Antichrist. It doesn't even have the excuse of ignorance, maintaining some true elements from the original faith of Noah, since it was created in knowledge and rejection of Christianity.

If the conflicts are wrong, it is only because we are fighting to impose demonic democracy and secular humanism, and not convert them to Christianity (Ann Coulter would be correct on that) and monarchy. They are the invaders, occupiers, and persecutors of the Christian Middle-East.

Some alternative media analysts are saying the US NEVER plans to leave Iraq, and that that poor country which suffered ~ 1.3 MILLION DEAD as a result of American attacks and casual killing of any old person on the streets almost for entertainment...

America will never leave Iraq and the Middle-east as long as it needs that oil. The Saudi government would be overthrown, possibly within hours, if they stopped accepting dollars for oil. America would drop democracy before it dropped the Middle east (an arguement could be made that it already has). I don't believe your 1.3 million dead and Muslim propaganda of "casual killing of any old person on the streets almost for entertainment" but even if granted (1.3 million dead, not random murder), that is the fault of the Saddam and the Iraqis not being loyal to empire to whom they were/are vassals.

Dryden translation of Plutarch's Caesar - Captured by Pirates:

http://ancienthistory.about.com/library ... irates.htm

For thirty-eight days, with all the freedom in the world, he amused himself with joining in their exercises and games, as if they had not been his keepers, but his guards. He wrote verses and speeches, and made them his auditors, and those who did not admire them, he called to their faces illiterate and barbarous, and would often, in raillery, threaten to hang them [on crosses]. They were greatly taken with this, and attributed his free talking to a kind of simplicity and boyish playfulness. As soon as his ransom was come from Miletus, he paid it, and was discharged, and proceeded at once to man some ships at the port of Miletus, and went in pursuit of the pirates, whom he surprised with their ships still stationed at the island, and took most of them. Their money he made his prize, and the men he secured in prison at Pergamus, and he made application to Junius, who was then governor of Asia, to whose office it belonged, as praetor, to determine their punishment. Junius, having his eye upon the money, for the sum was considerable, said he would think at his leisure what to do with the prisoners, upon which Caesar took his leave of him, and went off to Pergamus, where he ordered the pirates to be brought forth and crucified; the punishment he had often threatened them with whilst he was in their hands, and they little dreamt he was in earnest.

Seraphim Rose, Nihilism: The Root of the Revolution of the Modern Age:

Here there is already suggested the second corollary of Nihilist thought. The Nihilist rebellion and antitheism responsible for the "death of God" give rise to the idea that is to inaugurate the "new age": the transformation of man himself into a god. "Dead are all the gods," says Nietzsche's Zarathustra: "now do we desire the superman to live."[63] The "murder" of God is a deed too great to leave men unchanged: "Shall we not ourselves have to become gods, merely to seem worthy of it?"[64] In Kirillov, the Superman is the "Mangod," for in his logic, "if there is no God, then I am God."[65]

It is this idea of the "Superman" that underlies and inspires the conception of the "transformation of man," alike in the Realism of Marx and in the Vitalism of numerous occultists and artists. The various conceptions of the "new man" are, as it were, a series of preliminary sketches of the Superman. For just as nothingness, the god of Nihilism, is but an emptiness and expectancy looking to fulfillment in the revelation of some "new god," so too the "new man," whom Nihilism has deshaped, reduced, and left without character, without faith, without orientation--this "new man," whether viewed as "positive" or "negative," has become "mobile" and "flexible," "open" and "receptive," he is passive material awaiting some new discovery or revelation or command that is to remold him finally into his definitive shape.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/09/us/po ... nted=print

Mr. Obama seemed interested in thinkers like Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud and Jean-Paul Sartre, whom he studied in a political thought class in his sophomore year.

http://my.barackobama.com/page/communit ... pok/gGBhc8

To be more specific, Nietzsche recommended that the way of defeating nihilism was for each individual to treat his or her life as an ongoing and unfinished work of art. The simple work of "giving style" to ourselves, expressing to the world our "overflowing creativity," would give us a way to "Say Yes to Life." This, argued Nietzsche, would stifle nihilist pessimism.

Barack Obama is among the few people I have encountered who lives in this Nietzschean manner. The clearest evidence of this is in the fact that our introduction to Barack Obama -- and Obama's introduction to Obama -- occurs in the pages of two compellingly honest memoirs

Other Obama "jokes":

When Morgan Freeman comes over to greet Obama, the senator begins bowing down both hands in worship. "This guy was president before I was," says Obama, referring to Freeman's turn in Deep Impact and, clearly, getting a little ahead of his own bio. Next, a nod to Bruce Almighty: "This guy was God before I was."

Revelation of Satanic fake trinity?

A light will shine down, from somewhere. It will light upon you. You will experience an Epiphany, and you will say to yourself, "I have to vote for Barack."

Troparion (Hymn) of the Feast of Epiphany:

When Thou, O Lord, was baptized in the Jordan,
The Worship of the Trinity was made manifest.
For the voice of the Father bore witness to Thee,
And called Thee His beloved Son.
And the Spirit, in the form of a dove,
Confirmed the truthfulness of this Word.
O Christ our God, who revealed Thyself
And has illumined the world
Glory to Thee!

From the Spiritual Counsels of the Blessed Elder Lawrence of Chernigov (Russia):

http://www.orthodoxinfo.com/praxis/holy ... ision.aspx

The God-pleasing Holy Elder used to say, "Blessed, and thrice-blessed is the man who does not desire, and who will not see the abominable face of the Antichrist. He who sees him and hears his blasphemous words, his promises of all earthly treasures, he will be deceived and will go to meet him and bow down to him. He will perish together with him and will burn in the eternal fire."

They asked the Elder, "How will all this come to pass?" The holy Elder said with tears, "In the holy place, the abomination of desolation will stand. And it will show the foul seducers of the world. And they will be deceiving the people who have fallen away from God, and will perform false miracles. And after them, the Antichrist will appear. And the whole world will see him at the same time."

Then the fathers asked the Elder, "Where in the holy place? In the church?" The Venerable one answered, "Not in the church, but in every house. In the corner, where the holy icons now stand and hang, there will stand captivating devices which will delude the people. Many will say, 'We need to watch and listen to the news.' And behold, in the news the Antichrist will appear. He will mark his people with the seal, and he will hate Christians. The last persecutions of the Christian soul who will refuse to receive the mark of Satan will begin. A Christian will not be able to neither buy nor sell anything. But despair not, the Lord will not abandon His children. There is no need to fear.

White House Covers Up Menacing Oil "Blob":

http://oilprice.com/Environment/Oil-Spi ... -Blob.html

FEMA and Corps of Engineers employees are upset that the White House and the Pentagon remain tight-lipped and in cover-up mode about the images of the massive and fast-moving frozen coagulated oil blob that is being imaged by Navy submarines that are tracking its movement. The sources point out that BP and the White House conspired to withhold videos from BP-contracted submersibles that showed the oil geyser that was spewing oil from the chasm underneath the datum of the Deep Horizon at rates far exceeding originally reported amounts. We have learned that it was largely WMR's scoop on the existence of the BP videos that forced the company and its White House patrons to finally agree to the release of the video footage.

The White House is officially stating that it does not know where the officially reported 10 miles long by 3 miles wide "plume" is actually located or in what direction it is heading. However, WMR's sources claim the White House is getting real-time reports from Navy submarines as to the blob's location. We have learned that the blob is transiting the Florida Straits between Florida and Cuba, propelled by the Gulf's Loop Current, and that parts of it that is encountering warmer waters are breaking off into smaller tar balls that are now washing ashore in the environmentally-sensitive Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas.

Corps of Engineers and FEMA officials are also livid about the cover-up of the extent of the oil damage being promulgated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and its marine research vessel in the Gulf, RV Pelican. NOAA stands accused by the aforementioned agencies of acting as a virtual public relations arm for BP. NOAA is a component of the business-oriented Department of Commerce.

Similarly, the Coast Guard, which takes its orders from the cover-up operatives at the Homeland Security Department, is denying the tar balls washing up on the Florida Keys are from the oil mass. WMR has been told the Coast Guard is lying in order to protect the Obama administration, which has thoroughly failed in its response to the disaster. The White House's only concern is trying to limit political damage to its image in the electorally-important state of Florida while the Pentagon has spent between $25 and $30 billion on oil spill operations in the Gulf and the Atlantic to date.

WMR sources also report that the oil mass has resulted in dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico that have cut off oxygen and killed massive numbers of marine creatures and plant life.

Try for yourself the math based on the size of the plume - convert the miles to feet - calc. the sq feet by reported length and width - use the depth to calc. sq cubic feet. Adjust for gallons per sq cubic foot - I think its around 7.2 or 7.4, then adjust for 28 odd days of flow. Even if you adjust down figuring the measurements are all taken at the widest points, its still a crazy number. Adjust down further figuring the numbers are very overstated estimates. Or better yet, take the various flow rates offered and see how big of a plume they could make it 28 days and then compare to reported size. They don't equate so one or the other is clearly wrong.

#12 Doc Franklin 2010-05-20 14:24
I read somewhere they said this "blob" is 300 ft thick, if so, some quick calculations show this mass contains some 1.5 trillion gallons of oil or approximately 4 billion barrels............ what have they hit down there????

The Thunder Horse discovery by itself contains an estimated recoverable volume of up to 2 billion barrels crude oil equivalent (boe) and both the Mars and Ursa fields are producing over 125,000 barrels of oil per day from only a few horizontal wells each.

Israel to ban fishing in the Sea of Galilee:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/37136304

May 13, 2010

The Israeli government is echoing the words of Jesus with a new ban — asking the fishermen of the Sea of Galilee to cast aside their nets.

Jesus appealed to the fishermen to drop their work and follow him. The Israelis, however, have a more mundane reason — officials say a decade of overfishing has left the aquatic population of the biblical body of water in danger.

The fishing ban will be in effect for two years, but even afterward, no one is expecting modern times to follow biblical history, when Jesus directed fishermen to a spot where a "multitude of fish" nearly sank their boats.

[...]

In recent years, up to 80 percent of fish pulled from the lake were under legal size limits, he said.

Hosea 4:1-3:

Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.
Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.

Another name for the Sea of Galilee, is "Galilee of the Gentiles" (Isaiah 9:1, Matthew 4:15). Modern Israel is a client state (child) of America, could the USA be considered its "mother" here?

Rodent scurries by as Obama lauds Wall Street vote: Obama Nearly Gets Upstaged By A Rat In His Battle With The Titans Of Wall Sttreet:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/05/ ... 4002.shtml

Thursday, May 20, 2010

In the midst of his battle with the titans of Wall Street, President Barack Obama was nearly upstaged by a rodent.
Obama had just begun a Rose Garden statement lauding the end of a Senate filibuster on his financial overhaul when some kind of rodent dashed out of the bushes to his right, just outside the Oval Office.

As photographers snapped away in the sun-drenched garden, the critter scurried straight past the gray podium with the presidential seal and made a bee-line for another set of bushes to Obama's left.

It's not clear if the president could even see the streaker, but he didn't show any reaction. And he concluded his statement minutes later, returning to his office without answering a few shouted questions on other topics.

[...]

Just last week, as camera crews set up for an Obama statement on the Gulf oil spill, what's believed to have been the same rodent made a dash across the famous garden.

Video Stills of New Oil Explosion and Sea Floor Collapse:
http://monkeyfister.blogspot.com/

Sunday, May 23, 2010

I've been watching the live Spillcam, and discussing it with folks, here all day long. About 5pm last night, we all started taking note of gas bubbling out of the seabed floor. It started earlier than that, actually-- see pic a few posts down. About 1am this morning, the eruptions began to increase in spew volume.

At about 8am, CDT, as I watched, things started changing rapidly. Where the water around the two major gush points used to be very clear, it is now super turbid, and detritus is flying everywhere in a chaotic manner. seabed venting is obvious to see when ROV cameras pan around.

Yet-to-be-confirmed rumors are that the casing wall has finally worn through, about 300 feet below seabed, at an annulus (coupling), and the gas and oil are now finding a new way out to the seabed.

Not good news, as it will make the Top-Kill/Junk Shot nearly ineffectual... At the least, it means that more pressure and mud/cement is going to be required.

We'll see.

Everthing went up all at once. ROV was perfectly stationary. EVERYTHING went "BOOM" and black:

The entire range of field erupted at once. Everything. Everywhere, and then the pipe went GUSH!

Update: Here's a screen grab showing the new hole in the seabed. That's not the riser end from a new angle. This was grabbed while the ROV on the riser end was panning around. The BOP is over 600 feet away, so it is not that, either.

What the First Noted Venting Hole (TNVH) turned into 18 hours later.
Same pair of broken pipes, Riser end is in same position, except everything has settled down a few feet, and the hole is bigger. that's an ejection rim. Those two broken pipes are more exposed.
A lot of earth got moved down and away all at once.

UPDATE: The riser pipe used to be pretty clean all along it's top. Now, it is piled over with sediment.

Something had happened to the dispersant mechanism, too. Pipes and connectors got knocked loose, green liquid (antifreeze?) was pouring out of the machine, and we watched the ROV repair the leak.

Seabed seems to have sunk rapidly (perhaps scoured away rapidly?). Riser end is now in a big crater. Side pipes more exposed-- different angle?

UPDATE 1:20pm CDT: While watching, ANOTHER major "explosion" occurred. ROV Cam now covered in Oil. It was pushed around by the force of expulsion, or moved back a few feet by controllers. Our Favorite Disaster Bot is taking a beating. Gush seems to have at least doubled in size and volume.
