The following is a snippet from the latest blog of a former investigative reporter concerning the oil spill and the foiled terrorist attack in Times Square:
This catastrophe is far beyond the capability of BP corporation. It is astonishing that international resources are not being brought into mobilization immediately...
...scientists and engineers of all the major nations of the world must convene now, along with their governments, to address the crisis and seek a way to stop the oil flow.
The United States Congress should meet in emergency session and pass a law that the corporate heads of companies that wreak environmental devastation should be subject to criminal prosecution, up to and including capital punishment. All limits on civil liability must be lifted.
The following is from an anonymous engineer at peoplenomics.com:
First fact, the original estimate was about 5,000 gallons of oil a day spilling into the ocean. Now they're saying 200,000 gallons a day. That's over a million gallons of crude oil a week! I'm an engineer with 25 years of experience. I've worked on some big projects with big machines...First, the BP platform was drilling for what they call deep oil. They go out where the ocean is about 5,000 feet deep and drill another 30,000 feet into the crust of the earth. This it right on the edge of what human technology can do. They hit a pocket of oil at such high pressure that it burst all of their safety valves all the way up to the drilling rig and then caused the rig to explode and sink. The pressure behind this oil is so high that it destroyed the maximum effort of human science to contain it. When the rig sank it flipped over and landed on top of the drill hole. Now they've got a hole in the ocean floor.
They have to get the oil rig off the hole to get at it, in order to try to cap it. Do you know the level of effort it will take to move that wrecked oil rig, sitting under 5,000 feet of water? Then, how do you cap the hole in the ocean floor?
If we can't cap that hole, then oil is going to destroy the oceans of the world. It only takes one quart of motor oil to make 250,000 gallons of ocean water toxic to wildlife. Are you starting to get the magnitude of this?
We're so accustomed to our politicians creating false crises to forward their criminal agendas that we aren't recognizing that we're staring straight into possibly the greatest disaster mankind will ever see. Imagine what happens if that oil keeps flowing until it destroys all life in the oceans of this planet. Who knows how big a reservoir of oil is down there? Oceans are critical to maintaining oxygen in the atmosphere. (End quote. Thanks to Arthur Topham for forwarding the preceding information).
Terror Theatre in New York
A "bomb" that a ten year old might construct with gas cans, propane, non-explosive fertilizer and jurry-rigged alarm clocks is parked with fake license plates in Times Square. Spooky surveillance camera video displays a sinister mystery man possibly involved. Lesson: Thank God for government surveillance. Another lesson: let's keep bombing and massacring Afghan civilians in order to "fight" terrorism. Folks, you don't need a prophet to see where this heading. If we survive the oil spill, we will be in for more rule-by-fear, via black op domestic terror charades, accompanied by the gigantic unfunded government mandate known as perpetual war for perpetual peace....
