What really brought down the deep water horizon?

Continuing oil leaks from the reservoir & spraying of corexit are creating health problems in the Gulf.  You need to listen to this series of video, to understand the crimes BP had committed.

So could the Deepwater Horizon disaster be a multi-billion setup? Was the Transocean Marianas intended to go down at Macondo Well A in Nov 2009 instead of the DWH in 20 April 2010? Was the sinking of DWH a backup plan when Hurricane Ida rescued Transocean Marianas from its watery grave?

Now, recent researches by fellow gulf activists have confirmed what we have always feared. Are disasters being purposely perpetuated for monetary gains?

It was recently brought to my attention that ENI rehired the Transocean Marianas to BP for drilling the Macondo well (Well A) in October – November 2009 at $446,000/day. ENI hired the Transocean Marianas at $565,000/day for a 2 year contract. Typical of offshore rig contracts reporting, the periods of hire and drilling were intentionally shifted by a couple months to protect market information.

But why would ENI rehire at a loss of $120,000/day to BP unless they too knew that the aging Marianas would not live out her 2 year contract period? Why hire the aging Marianas (1978) at $565,000/day when the state-of-the-art Deepwater Horizon rig (2000, $560 million) only cost $500,000/day? ENI's Saipem 10000 (1985, $400 million) which was capable of drilling in waters over 7,000 ft cost only $356,000/day.

Was ENI expecting a Force Majeure to profit from a quick insurance compensation? Was the Transocean Marianas saved from a disastrous blowout by Hurricane Ida? Now, that would be a coincidence would it?
