To keep this article short, we posted these figures earlier at the following links:

Figure 165-3 BP doctored relooped video to make-believe BOP was still intact at 3rd well after 2nd blowout

Figure 165-4 BP's latest PR twist: DWH blowout disaster downgraded into an underwater pipeline burst

Figure 165-5 Undoctored videos confirm oil gushing blown crater was well#3 and not 2^nd leak on the riser

Figure 165-5a Doctored videos of the same blown crater confirm elaborate deception

Figure 165-6 Even DNV was fooled by the fake relooped videos after the 22 April explosion.

(figures 165-0, 165-1b and 165-2 are given in the next posting)

Of all the lies that came out of the Gulf disaster, the most preposterous has been the 3 leaks on the riser story. Figure 165-0a to 165-0c were the first few schematic illustrations of BP’s blowout incident. They were so embarrassingly stupid and logic defying, most experts believed the schematics were deliberately drawn by cartoonists to confuse the average Joe Public. The patchwork of realities resembled a makeshift car hastily assembled from parts of different size vehicles. Obviously a mini car body does not match the oversize truck tires. It is obvious the 5½ inch drill pipe at leak(3) cannot be the same 21inch diameter riser (actually a well casing) at leak(2). Yet the world's technical experts willfully overlooked this fundamental discrepancy and allowed the criminals to get away with murders. And America, the world's greatest nation shouting human rights abuses all over the world, allowed this hideous crime of mass destruction in its own backyard to go unpunished? In China, the corporate criminals responsible for this environmental carnage would have been executed instead of having their lives back. Can the 11 dead crewmen, their young families and thousands of Gulf victims who suffered numerous medical problems from the toxic contaminated Gulf waters and corexit sprayed on them, ever have their lives back?

Surely the world's most technologically advanced country could not have been so easily fooled by this “3 wells & 3 leaks on a single riser” fairy tale (concocted Beyond Phantasm). Besides the many controversial circumstances surrounding the sinking of the burning rig (DWH) and the sudden breaking of the super-strong riser in calm water, how could a third open-ended leak (3) be even possible beyond the completely severed riser at the second leak (2)? See fig165-0c. Leak(2) has to be the blown crater of well no.#3 as illustrated in many of our previous articles and irrefutably shown in Figure 165-5 with the right coordinates in the few undoctored videos.

“When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” S Homes.

Since June 2010, we have illustrated many physics of impossibilities concocted by BP. Two years later, it seems the world has not awaken from its ignorantly blissful slumber. This disaster is more than just a disastrous mega oil spill. If the world's foremost scientists and investigators cannot figure out the many fundamental flaws in the simple “3 leaks-3 wells” fairy tale, how can there be any hope of ever solving problems beyond kindergarten level? Forget the carbon tax, the ban on hazardous gas emission and just about any anti-pollution measures designed to improve the global environment. All these schemes have sinister undertones with profiting on mass miseries of others.

In the Gulf disaster, you have the biggest environmental polluter in human history. The punishment for a crime of mass destruction that could have been averted, was just a slap on the wrist? If this is not the clearest proof of corruption at the highest level and biggest HSE (health, safety & environment) farce, then what is?

It is clear the current political leaders had not been up to mark in dealing with this disaster. If their blinkered leadership cannot see beyond the deception in the Gulf, the only place they are are capable of leading to, is Hell. Do the American people really want to be sheepishly led down this road to hell? And world leaders follows obediently in tow.

If we do not wake up and smell the Corexit now, pretty soon there would not be a planet to save at all.

It was not the failure of safety regulations but the enforcement of regulations. The government admitted this much by sacking MMS's director and changing it to BOEMRE. It was not the failure of technology but the devious use of technology to cloak unfair business practices or safety farce at the very least. But would shrewd corporate criminals risk billions of investment dollars just to skimp on some daily operation expenses and safety devices? Just like the fairy tale of the 3 leaks, this was just the red herring. The oil industry will start on its decline just as the coal industry did, after its replacement by alternative cheaper and cleaner energy sources (The Future of Free Energy).

Giant global oil corporations may not have the next 10 years to recover their mega billion dollar investments. With the writings on the wall and their failures to control (prevent) the advent of free energy, the oil oligarchs had to devise emergency exit schemes before oil independence becomes public knowledge. High crude oil prices cannot be manipulated too high or long enough to recoup their billions of investment dollars globally. They risk becoming economic dinosaurs.

High oil prices depress global economic growth and hence non-sustainable for too long a period. Shallow, low cost production reservoirs are either not under their control or their reserves have already dwindled. The Middle East wars and conflicts are all about the control of cheap oil supplies. At low crude oil prices, they cannot recoup their high investment costs. Huge deep water oil reserves are just market hype. They are just too uneconomical for exploitation. But like the fake 134 billion US dollar bonds and 26 trillion US loans given out by the FED, mega oil spills could be leveraged as MIHOP environmental disasters for quick mega windfalls. More details in later articles.

Figures 165-0 to 165-6 accurately depict how deep down the abyss the oil industry had sank into. How can we pretend that all is well with the oil industry? The 11 crewmen died not because they did not perform their job well. On the contrary, these men plus the previous drilling crew performed exceptionally well. Otherwise they could not have drilled through hell to reach the reservoir at 18,360 ft below sea level. They were on a “suicide mission” without being told that the nightmare well was supposed to blow once they had successfully reached the reservoir. It is time to put the records straight. As Edmund Burke said; “All that is needed for evil to succeed is that decent human beings do nothing”.

The illustration of the 3 infamous leaks on a badly twisted riser, was designed to confuse and to twist public opinion to their advantage. Many experts in the industry wondered at the ludicrous illustration but no one dare to criticize big brother, BP. Below is one muffled, discussion from an astonished experienced driller at Drilling Ahead.

Riser Problems?(http://www.drillingahead.com/forum/topics/transocean deepwater horizon 1#ixzz1k7tHXgvt)

According to the Coast Guard and BP, oil is leaking from two spots along what is left of the riser system. Here's a schematic view: (figure 165-0b) dated 26 April 2010.

Originally, the risers (represented by the blue line in the graphic above) were affixed to the blowout preventer on the seafloor, and extended 5,000 feet straight up to the "moon pool" of the Deepwater Horizon. When the drilling vessel sank, it took the riser piping and bent it around like a pretzel.

The remnants of the riser system now follow a circuitous underwater route. According to BP, the risers extend from the wellhead up through the water column to about 1,500 feet above the seabed. Then the riser system buckles back down toward the seafloor. (Frankly, I'm astonished that it all held together as well as it has. It's a credit to the manufacturer, which I'll discuss below.)

According to the Transocean website, the riser devices on the Deepwater Horizon were manufactured by VetcoGray, a division of General Electric Oil & Gas. The specific designation is a "HMF Class H, 21 inch outside diameter riser; 90 foot long joints with Choke & Kill, and booster and hydraulic supply lines."

Why the pathetic 3 leaks on the broken riser excuse?

If there were really 3 leaks on a single riser, BP could have easily reduced three into one controllable leak at the source by cutting the riser at the top of the blowout preventer (BOP). That was precisely what BP did at the end of May to install the LMRP (Lower Marine Riser Package) cap on 3 June 2010. But why wait for 40 days? Why would BP need to go through the charade of top kill, junk shots, hot hats and all that nonsense? Why wait for 87 days before shutting down the flow at well A on 15 July? Why was there no massive oil spill or gas leaks before 2200z (1700 CDT) 22 April 2010? See the pattern yet?

BP's frauds and deception in the Gulf would have been exposed at the break of the disaster if they had not been so well coordinated and meticulously planned months beforehand. Official coverups could not have withstood the tsunami-force of massive public protests, even with forceful suppression. The pen is mightier than the sword. Deception is more effective in dissipating the focused energy of the masses. Once divided and confused with distorted truths, only can military force be effective in suppressing the sheepish masses to be culled. TPTB have been having lots of target practices in the third world countries and now it is time to use these tactics in their home crowd. Nothing happens by accident. Certainly not the BP's Gulf disaster which had been planned as early as 2007.

The ROV inspections of the wellhead, marine riser and BOP in the immediate aftermath of the incident show that the mega oil spill could have been easily averted with several run-of-the-mill options. It was the sort of controllable rig blowout-fire situation the industry expects and routinely trained for. It could have been recovered safely without ending in a disastrous mega oil spill. James Cameron of the Titanic fame was quoted as saying “US shouldn't be relying on BP's underwater intel. Those morons don't know what they're doing!”. Really? Or was ingenuity behind the cloak of stupidity.

The main reason for the deliberate blunders and delays in the recovery of the blowout and the oil spill, was to intentionally flood the Gulf with massive oil to cause market panic. No massive oil spill means no justification for spraying unprecedented massive amount of COREXIT. Bio-remediation was available and ready to be used. Yet millions of gallons of corexit had been stockpiled weeks before the mega spill occurred and surprisingly on standby to disperse on the first day itself. Yet there are those who still believe there was no vested business connection. The concerted media, political and industry deception onslaught was unmistakably deafening. Stupidity and global domination do not go hand in hand.

The initial gas blowout (20 April 2010) which killed 11 drilling crew on the burning Deepwater Horizon rig, failed to unleash the massive oil spill as PLANNED. A detonated explosion within the well shortly after 2200z (1700 CDT) did. That triggered explosion induced a bottom hole blowout that unleashed the full power of the gushing oil from the Macondo reservoir. Period!

Is it not a federal offense to lie so blatantly to the US Congress and American Public? Or is the system so screwed up, it is fashionable or even brilliant to get away with submitting doctored ROV videos to Congress? For the uninitiated, there were many accounts of BP committing perjury before and after Tony Hayward' congressional testimony. All ROV videos showing the still standing BOP with the Bent Riser (without the gas leak) from the 23 April till mid May 2010, were relooped footage recorded prior to the 22 April explosion shortly after 1700 CDT. Why? Because the BOP was already in pieces scattered over the seafloor after the 22 April bottom-well blowout. Again the doctored videos were deliberately ignored by investigators and mainstream media. Obvious, is it not?

Continue: Part 1 The farcical 3 leaks on the broken riser story

(Reuters) - BP Plc won a court order keeping several potentially damaging emails out of a scheduled trial to determine responsibility for the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

Wednesday's ruling by U.S. Magistrate Judge Sally Shushan in New Orleans came a day after U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier rejected the oil company's effort to keep evidence about settlements it had already reached out of the trial.

The rulings came as Barbier prepares to preside on February 27 over a non-jury trial to assign blame for the April 20, 2010 explosion of the Deepwater Horizon rig, which killed 11 people and caused the largest offshore oil spill in U.S. history.

Plaintiffs include individuals and businesses, represented by a plaintiffs' steering committee that had sought to introduce the email evidence, as well as states and the U.S. government.

The main corporate defendants include BP, rig owner Transocean Ltd and Halliburton Co, which provided cementing services for the Macondo oil well. Anadarko Petroleum Corp, one of BP's partners in the well, is also involved in the trial.

Shushan granted BP's request to exclude as hearsay several 2009 emails among Anadarko employees about tropical storm damage to another Transocean rig that had been under contract to BP.

In one email, an Anadarko employee expressed disappointment that BP had not disclosed some information related to the damage, prompting another to respond: "Bummer. I'm amazed that they did not tell us about this."

Shushan also granted BP's and Transocean's request to keep out a June 2010 email from Halliburton employee Ryan Haire questioning their reported findings regarding some tests, saying he had no personal knowledge of those findings.

The judge also granted Halliburton's request to exclude an email from a BP geologist to a colleague in February 2010, offering "thanks for the @!$%#ty cement job."

Halliburton contended that the email was no more than a casual, tasteless joke made by one friend to another. Shushan concluded that there was no showing that the email was a "business record" of the cement work that could be introduced into evidence.

Barbier had on Tuesday ruled in Halliburton's favor on whether evidence of BP's settlements with Anadarko and other companies was admissible at trial.

Halliburton had said such evidence could show the settling companies' potential bias in BP's favor, while BP had countered that they were irrelevant to establishing liability.

Here in America, as a foreign entity you can kill 11 men, injure 17 more, cause unprecedented ecological and economical destruction to 4 states, destroy hundreds of thousands of animals, take over the media, science and regional healthcare, decimate cultures, chemically poison thousands of people, and leave a big fat mess behind, for the same cost as one bank’s government bail out, (Wells Fargo 2009).

Heck, last year alone BP slammed a net profit of $25.7 billion. So much for the 2010 worry that BP might go into bankruptcy over the fiasco.

And according to a UPI.com article, found here

http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2012/02/05/Settlement-possible-in-BP-oil-spill-case/UPI-61971328459069/, state officials may actually be encouraging the idea, with the help of the DOJ and the administration.

It's official: 2011 was a record-busting year in the oil industry, with the five largest companies -- BP, ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, and Royal Dutch Shell -- reporting all-time-high profits of $137 billion. That's a 75 percent jump from the year before, even though the giants produced less oil than in 2010.

It's the multinational way to go in a slumping economy: Get paid more for doing less.

BP an­nounced today that its 2011 profit to­taled $26 bil­lion, a 114 per­cent jump from the year be­fore, when the com­pany’s “fail­ure of su­per­vi­sion and ac­count­abil­ity” caused the worst oil spill in U.S. his­tory. As the com­pany pre­pares for its up­com­ing crim­i­nal trial, let’s take a look at how BP has made out after the Deep­wa­ter Hori­zon dis­as­ter:

Look at this important ROV video. It is a technique taken from the "Art of Mass Deception".

How do you hide evidence by showing it?  

Clue: Throughout the week we have been showing evidence of heading and orientation. When confused, try looking from a different perspective.  

On the day the Deepwater Horizon sank, BP officials warned in an internal memo that if the well was not protected by the blow-out preventer at the drill site, crude oil could burst into the Gulf of Mexico at a rate of 3.4 million gallons a day, an amount a million gallons higher than what the government later believed spilled daily from the site.

The email conversation, which BP agreed to release Friday as part of federal court proceedings, suggests BP managers recognized the potential of the disaster in its early hours, and company officials sought to make sure that the model-developed information wasn't shared with outsiders. The emails also suggest BP was having heated discussions with Coast Guard officials over the potential of the oil spill.

America is in trouble. This a planned disaster no doubt. We are looking at the greatest catastrophe to hit Mankind. ....And they can't fix it or won't fix it. 

How do you bring the world's greatest Republic to its kness?

Kindra: Does that make my people expendable?

2010 April 23 around 1300hrs showing the BOP-Bent Riser after the DWH had sunken. Look at the heading which is 322 deg. it doesn't change even though the rov camera obviously changed. Video shows the same BOP-Bent Riser looking at a different angle. If the heading of 35 deg NE is to be trusted then the Bent Riser should be pointing towards NW. How can with a static BOP-Bent Riser? Again the answer is false heading (not at the time of actual recording). Another physics of impossibility or simply "faking" the rov view at that time. The Presidential Oil commission and Federal investigators left out in their official investigation. A case of incompetence or willful blindness or a cover-up?

Santa Barbara cinematographer Mike deGruy died in a fiery helicopter crash Friday in New South Wales, Australia.

According to KEYT, deGruy, 60, was in Australia to scout locations for an upcoming documentary project.

The Age newspaper in Melbourne reported that deGruy and the helicopter’s pilot, fellow filmmaker Andrew Wight, were killed when their aircraft crashed and burst into flames during takeoff near Nowra on the south coast of New South Wales. Local authorities said both men died at the scene.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.

One of the films on which he worked was Deepwater Rising, which chronicled the aftermath of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Friend and fellow Santa Barbaran Harry Rabin, CEO of On the Wave Productions and the documentary’s cinematographer, spent two months on location with him for the project.

It appears high-level BP officials made a concerted effort to keep secret a completely legitimate spill estimate – based on a tested scientific model – and disclosed a completely unfounded, grossly inaccurate flow rate. Go figure.

The series of decisions surrounding the “false estimate” episode are all neatly packaged in a damning email exchange between BP employees released in federal court in New Orleans on Friday (Jan. 27). The startling new evidence provides a glimpse inside what is shaping up to rank among the biggest, most flagrant corporate coverups in recent history. From a Jan. 27 Times-Picayune report:

The April 22 email from Rob Marshall, BP’s subsea manager for the Gulf of Mexico, to deepwater project manager Gary Imm and corporate vice president Jonathan Sprague is an exhibit in the massive oil spill litigation slated for trial Feb. 27.

Marshall advised Imm and Sprague that an expert named Alistair Johnston had a new model for how much oil might be spewing from the wellhead a mile below the surface and 50 miles from the Mississippi River delta. Johnston’s new estimate, Marshall wrote, was 82,000 barrels a day if the well has an open hole.

The response from Imm suggests that BP and the Coast Guard were already butting heads over how much oil was coming out of the busted well – and that 82,000 barrels a day wasn’t a number BP wanted anyone to hear.

“A number of people have been looking at this and we already have had difficult discussions with the USCG (Coast Guard) on the numbers,” Imm wrote back to Marshall and Sprague. “Please tell Alistair not to communicate to anyone on this.”

So much for the “complete transparency” and cooperation BP pledged to embrace.

KC-10 SPRAYING TOXIC CHEMTRAILS CANADA 2010 COCKPIT FOOTAGE CLOSE UP PROOF

The many lies are, in themselves, probable cause to begin a Federal Grand Jury investigation of George W. Bush's role in 911. Bush should be compelled by subpoena and Federal Marshals to testify under oath before an independent Federal Grand Jury. The AA revelations demand it! Bush lies have the effect of covering up the truth, protecting the guilty and obstructing justice. The lies are an insult to the families of 911 victims, victims dishonored by the continuing cover-up! Bush's lies aggravate the crimes of mass murder, terrorism and high treason for which the penalty must surely be death.

911 did not happen as we have been told. Bushco's 'official conspiracies theory' of 911 is full of holes. Flights 11 and 77 are essential ingredients in the 'official conspiracy theory' of 911. That AA claims that neither 11 nor 77 were in the air that day sinks Bush's theory.

More importantly, however, it should get him an 'invitation' to appear before a Federal Grand Jury to answers charges that he betrayed his nation and waged war upon the people. Clearly –the official theory is a lie, an intentional cover-up. Cover-ups imply guilt! Otherwise –what is there to cover up? The official 'lie' goes like this:

In 2005 President Bush signed the Energy Policy Act, which retained the focus of Cheney's report, into law. It included what has become known as "the Halliburton loophole," which removed authority from the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate a potentially dangerous gas-drilling process invented by Halliburton.  

These links, the fact that Cheney's former campaign press secretary Ann Womack-Colton has recently become BP's head of U.S. media relations, and the general pro-oil, anti-regulation atmosphere in the Bush years have not escaped the attention of the pundits. MSNBC's Chris Matthews highlighted the Halliburton-Cheney connection in an interview with Jay Leno on the BP spill. Frank Rich, in The New York Times, pointed out that the Interior Department degenerated into a "cesspool of corruption," under Bush and Cheney, and that the pair bequeathed Obama "a Minerals Management Service as broken as the Bush-Cheney FEMA exposed by Katrina."

Why would BP spend more than 100 millions USD on PR media blitzkrieg to change public perception of the massive oil spill? Remember the famous doctored photos which BP admitted to?

2010 July 30- why-is-bps-macondo-blowout-so-disastrous-beyond-patch-up

4 What you don’t see can be covered up.

Perhaps the botched-up “photochop-chop” photos put up by BP was just a test. To see how keen the public eyes were in following BP’s clean up efforts. It would be hard to believe BP paid professionals for such a shoddy job. We should give BP more credit than that (remember the shares issues)? Let’s play dumb and the problems will go away.

Many experts in the oil industry were surprised and questioned the rationality of capping the well when the relief wells were so close to achieving their “bottom kill” objectives. They could have installed the TOP CAP much earlier. This means that BP knew if the gushing well was completely shut at the top, the oil and gas would spread beneath the sea floor and gas seeps would start appearing. So the TOP CAP had to be placed just before the relief well was ready for the “magic show”. Hurricane Bonnie spoilt the show and the delay is already showing signs of stress (gas seeps).

This could also mean that BP was getting less and less confident that the relief wells would work. The relief wells were held up as the last Trump card. If it fails in full (ROV) view of the concerned public throughout the world, BP’s shares would drop like a stone. There are good geological reasons why the chances of the relief wells’ success are less than 30%. But that would be in the next posting.

So instead “of going on a public stage with a final trump card of 30% chance of success” and risking everything BP stands for, a magic show will be set up so that what ever happens, it will be a success. How?

With a gushing well in full view, a successful bottom kill would show oil slowing down to eventually a tickle. With the cap on, it would be easier to manipulate the data. Thus botched-up photos were a test to check the keenness of the public eye. If the bottom kill fails, there is no independent monitor to prove it. BP could quickly pack and leave the site. Without ROVs’ video, the world is blind. Independent scientific researches later on could be disputed or controlled in post-recovery mopped up battle plan.

The TOP CAP had to be installed and the integrity pressure tests used as an excuse to completely shut down the flow. There is no need to prove the well is leaking. It is already a fact. David Copperfield could not have performed better.

A primer on QC analyses of doctored ROV videos. What? BP doctored ROV videos?

It is almost unbelievable that a respectable global giant like BP could be so unethical. If you can't make it, fake it. That was what BP did. So far we have been proven right. There is a lot more. Each time we dig, we found more dirt. Many had also wondered how we could tell the difference especially in the light of so many doctored videos released by BP. And why isn't the mainstream media keeping so quiet on BP's data frauds.

With some fundamentals, you can also be your own detective. Here is the how.

Time & space, cannot be created or subtracted but flow continuously in unison. For example, if an ROV moves from point A to B and then to C, its movement can be described by time, motion, speed and position. You cannot substitute C by A without screwing up the consistency of the all the time-spatial relationships. BP substituted well A coordinates on videos which had been recorded previously at the 3^rd well location showing the BOP and Bent Riser. You might wonder why? Such elaborate deceptions played in frontal view of world's audience cannot be just for an April Fool's joke. See later articles coming up on the series.

Essentially it means that you can lie to some people some of the time but you cannot lie to all the people all of the time.

As you add more factors or constrains, the narrow path of lying becomes even narrower. It is like broadening the stage prop. Remember in the Art of Mass Deception, the stage prop is meant only for the front view audience. Look beyond the stage prop and you will see the flaws. The depth variation constrain was added to our analyses which apparently the fraudsters (not being surveyors) were largely ignorant of.

All of the video footage handed to us have their time-spatial details embedded in them. Adulterating them (by us) would leave graphic evidence no matter how professionally done, especially with videos. Our job here was to prove inconsistencies and adulteration of time-spatial details. We do not adulterate videos submitted to us for analyses in order to fit our analyses. There are many ways to check this but this is not included in our primer here for obvious reasons.

BP's raw video feeds were recorded independently without embedding the time-spatial details. Hence it would have been very easy for BP's technicians to broadcast even live video feeds with superficially generated time-spatial details. This is what we suspected they did generally but not all the time. Each video in question has to be examined on case to case basis.

Depending on operators, the date format can sometimes switch from American (mm dd yy) to British (dd mm yy) and feet to metric. The coordinates are all in feet, but depth and altitude can be in feet or metres. The depth here refers to the ROV Depth or the height of the water column above the ROV (measured by a depth pressure sensor which had to be correctly calibrated). If there is a bulk error (say 30ft) it should rightly appear in all depths displayed. Thus, by subtracting the bulk (or datum error) we can retrieve back the right depth. Altitude, depth, coordinates, heading, are all designed for automatic input from the sensors without human intervention once the system is calibrated, up and running. Any human intervention thereafter is likely to be for fraudulent purposes other than normal operation.

The water depth at the ROV location is the sum of the altitude (measured by an ultrasonic transducer to the seabed) and the ROV depth. This is where the bathymetric chart (in BP's exploration plan) comes in handy. Both well A and B have the same water depth at 4992 ft (+/- 5 ft). The third well being up slope, has a water depth of about 4960 ft. An error range of 5 -10 ft is acceptable but the sensitivity (or variation) when the ROV is stationary should not be more than 1 ft. Heading (Hdg) is the direction of the ROV, measured by the gyro, in degrees from 0 to 360. Be aware that the ROV cameras have both zoom and tilt capability. Some of the ROVs (we are told) have hind cameras mounted on them as well. Still that does not explain the motion and orientation discrepancies in the video; resulting in obvious disconnect between the motion in the video and relative position of the recording ROV.

What we have been unable to demonstrate on still snaphots are the inconsistencies in the motion, speed, direction or orientation so obvious in the playback of these doctored videos? For example on a stationary viewport showing the spewing well, the recording ROV could not have move by hundreds of feet without affecting the area of view. With a stationary ROV (coordinates variation < 1 feet) the object in view (within the viewport) should move in opposite direction to the camera's rotation. For example, if the ROV is rotating to the starboard (increasing heading degrees, to the right facing the bow) the object in view should move towards the left and out of the viewport. But in BP's doctored videos, you will see the disconnect caused by superficially adding the navigation information after the field recording.

One BP schill commented that BP might have accidentally merged the wrong navigation information from other dives. Perhaps. But why do these “wrong navigation information” consistently get merged for only certain sensitive locations and events? Consistency in the “accidental errors” could only mean intent to cheat under the guise of “naturally occurring” accidents or errors.

In many doctored videos, you will see the heading change significantly but the BOP remained stationary within the viewport. You can demonstrate this by using a narrow beam pen-torch light shinning on an object. Of course there are the classic time skips (forward and backwards in time), coordinates jumps of more than hundreds of feets etc etc. Hopefully you can have some fun watching these ROV videos with the right perspective.

BP could only fool the world because the world allows BP to.

Having established some fundamentals, we now analyse figure 165-5, an early video example where the actual ground details were recorded, unadulterated. (So far we had not found any on these sets of videos but readers are welcome to feed us back if we had missed out on any). As a comparison to doctored videos, see Figure 165-5a Recycled Data, Frauds & BP's Gulf Disaster.

All the 3 snapshots extracted from different videos show the famous blowout crater with the huge black oil plume, gushing out to the south (see red arrow in the RT video, bottom left). BP misled the world in claiming that this was just a leak on the broken riser. It was not. It was the blown crater of the third well, which they labeled as well BE. Why would they label the well that blew on 20 April 2010 as well BE and not well A? There is a lot more in depth details in figure 165-5. This is just the tip of the iceberg (frauds in the industry). See later articles for more amazing deception by BP.

We can be quite confident on the direction of the oil flow (from the north) as the picture frame is almost parallel to the pipe (casing). The video snapshot on the lower left was captured from RT broadcast dated on 30 May 2010. The top snapshots were extracted from video recorded on 23 April and 5May(blurred?) 2010. All 3 snapshots show the supposedly 2^nd leak on the riser in a crater, referred to as Leak(2).

Based on our past analyses and cross-references, we beg to differ. We had argued from different angles, that leak(2) was in fact the blown crater of the third well (BE) which they intentionally blew shortly after 1700 CDT (2220z) on 22 April. Besides trying to misrepresent the third well (BE) as well A, this “missing massive explosive event” was one of the main reason BP's official story was so ludicrously inconsistent.

The main story (BP's Deception in the Gulf, exposed) will explain further but for now we want to demonstrate the consistencies in the un-doctored videos on an obviously same oil-spewing crater.

The graph on the right bottom is a to-scale plot of the location of the 3 wells. The red text gives the details of the ROV position as per the coordinates in the snapshot. On this video, the ROV was 43ft west of the well BE crater. Thus the heading of 97 deg is about right. The water depth (4957.7 + 4.7) of 4962 ft is much closer to the depth of well BE than well A or well B.

Both the top photos show the yellow pipe (casing) to be dipping northward into the “cemented sediment” with the oil plume gushing out south. Thus all the 3 photos are consistent with each other. The fact that no coordinates were displayed for the videos on 23 April 2010, strongly suggest that BP was well aware of the sensitivity of that information. On some of the earlier videos, the coordinates were displayed as blanks or zeros. In later videos, the coordinates were falsified.

What is the chance of a falling 5000ft long super strong riser (with a 3.5 million pound load-carrying capacity) breaking into two at exactly the same location the DWH burning rig was reported to have drifted to? And where is the other half of the broken riser in the crater? It could not have floated away if it was heavy enough to dig itself into more than 5m of cemented seafloor. The probability must be astronomical, considering that BP made the report (that the burning DWH rig had drifted 714 ft NW from well A) at 220402z (23:02 CDT 21 April); less than 2 days after the discovery of the blown crater. How did BP know beforehand the 5000ft riser was going to break at that point? More amazingly, could a burning rig drift in a dead calm sea, as evident from independently taken photos? BP acknowledged the semi-sub was “anchored” in place by the riser attached to the BOP at the wellhead. Is this not inconsistent with the Drift Theory? How come none of the fire fighting vessels noticed the drift at sea? Why did the reported drift came from BP's Command Centre and not from the coastguards in the field?

As there is negligible slack in the non-stretchable riser, the burning rig had to sink by at least 50ft for it to move that distance. The burning DWH was observed to be listing from the morning of 22 April with the riser still intact. The DWH did not start to sink until the riser was (intentionally) severed at or around 10:22 CDT 22 April. Such precise timing!

This was what we wrote on 25 Aug 2010.

Twisted tale of the missing 3^rd well that blew on 20 April 2010.

DWH never moved 714ft NE as reported by BP to the Coast Guard. BP had to come up with something to explain why the burning DWH was in that location. The sea was calm and DWH had no power to move. This further confirmed DWH was sitting on top of the S20BC location as correctly predicted by the seabed debris forensic analysis. BP had to move the fallen BOP and placed it on Well A in the aftermath of the blowout. This is one of the many reasons BP cannot release the video footage of the BOP immediately after the second explosion blew off the BOP and broke off the bottom fifth of the riser string as detailed in The-mystery-of-the-april-20-blowout-revealed and in The-art-of-mass-deception-part-1.

While many missing parts to the giant jigsaw puzzle have yet to be put in place, it is evident we are getting very close to the truth. Hence the intensified attacks and cointelpro on us. We had been confident enough since July 2010 to boldly publish what insiders can only whisper in private.

The significance of figure 165-5.

It confirms that the crater with the massive oil plume which BP claimed to be the second leak on the riser was indeed the blown 3^rd well. The unadulterated videos are “consistently” consistent with our earlier assertions that the 3^rd well that blew its top (BOP, well casing etc) and ended up as an open crater, gushing massive oil directly from the Macondo Reservoir 18,360 ft below. It is time the American public, victims and the world know the truth. BP had pulled wools over America's eyes with the fabricated 1 well - 3 leaks on the riser story long enough.

You have to wonder why BP spent more than 100 million USD to mercilessly pound their fabricated lies into the mainstream media and cyberspace to conceal the truth. The massive oil spill in the Gulf is only one of their Planned-To-Happen series of disasters. It is not for fun. These disasters including 911 were planned and triggered to serve their multiple global agenda of controlling the world. The late Matts Simmons sacrificed his life to bring the American public the truth of the BP's Gulf Disaster. His death and scores of those fallen heroes, must not be in vain. We will continue to suffer as victims (one way or another) of past and yet to materialise Inside-Job disasters.

God help us all if the truth continues to be suppressed. The next disaster may be much worse than just a massive oil spill.

A sneak preview of the startling truths in the Gulf disaster in the coming articles.

The making of BP’s Mega Oil Spill in the Gulf

There was no mega oil spill before 1700 CDT 22 April. The mega oil spill could have been averted with several run of the mill options. The 20 April incident was the sort of controllable rig-blowout fire situation the industry expects and routinely trained for. It could have been recovered safely without ending in a disastrous mega oil spill. The facts will show that an explosion within the well was purposely detonated on the evening of 22 April 2010 to induce a second blowout that unleashed the high pressure oil gush from the Macondo reservoir. The second bottom-hole blowout, breaking of the marine riser and sinking of the Deepwater Horizon (DWH), were clear subterfuge from within. How could the official investigations into the causes of this environmental disaster, miss out on all these?

The initial gas blowout (20 April 2010) which killed 11 drilling crew on the burning Deepwater Horizon rig, did not unleash the massive oil spill as BP and the government regulators had wanted us to believe. A detonated explosion within the well on the evening of 22 April, shortly after 2200z (1700 CDT) did.

BP’s Killing Spree in the GOM

Irrefutable proofs and connections of the dots would be presented in the later parts of this series dubbed “BP’s Killing Spree in the GOM”. The articles would show that BP knowingly drilled into 3 hazardous (high risk) well locations (not 1 well as BP officially declared before the US Congress) without adequate risk aversion precautions.

 

It is like having repeated unprotected sex with a confirmed HIV positive partner despite being forewarned. The evidence would also show that BP’s killing spree in the gulf, unmistakably started as early as March 2010. Pro BP apologists argued the abnormal high number of stranded cetaceans (> 60 dolphins and whales) in March 2010 (a month before the blowout in April) was proof that the cetaceans were stranded from unknown natural causes before the mega oil spill. The March average for the years 2002-2009, was less than 19. They failed to mention that Methane, Hydrogen Sulfide (commonly encountered in exploration drilling), drilling mud and cement had been spilling in enormous quantities (abnormal circulation losses suffered by BP) into the gulf since February 2010.

 

The toxicity peaked in March 2010 coinciding with the heaviest drilling losses from the 3 wells at the more problematical shallow zone; from late Feb to early April. BP abandoned well A in mid Feb with hefty drilling losses during an out of well control situation, drilled well B and well BE (3^rd well) with even heavier drilling losses from 16 Mar to 7April. There is no necessity to invoke unexplained natural causes as the stranded rate correlates very well with the level of toxicity in the gulf.

The spike for the month of March 2011 was again due to increased toxicity caused by the 9.0 Japan earthquake which shook up more oil discharges into the gulf water from the shallow oil accumulations. The statistics on the stranded dolphins accurately reflect the toxicity in the gulf water as revealed in this article,Mystery Of The New Found Oil Revealed.

 

NEW ORLEANS -- A federal judge has ruled that Halliburton, the Houston-based company that supplied cement for the ill-fated Macondo well that blew in the Gulf of Mexico, may not have to pay many of the pollution claims that resulted from the catastrophic spill because it was shielded in a contract with well-owner BP.

Still, U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier said Tuesday that Halliburton is not exempt from paying punitive damages and civil penalties that arise from the April 20, 2010, blowout off the Louisiana coast. Those penalties could amount to billions of dollars.

The judge also said Halliburton's indemnity could be voided if the company is found to have defrauded BP. He did not rule on BP's allegations that Halliburton committed fraud by declaring the cement safe to use.

First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win.....Mahatma Gandhi

During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.......George Orwell.

We have presented many examples of doctored ROV video with adulterated details since the start of our independent investigation on the BP's Macondo blowout and the mega oil spill in the Gulf. Although any form of adulteration is unethical, we have unearthed many forms of doctored documents, videos, survey logs and even seismic data in our QC/QA (quality control / quality assurance) work in the oil industry. Unbelievable but in reality such fraudulent practices are the norm rather than the deception. Smooth Operators work around regulations as the following extract shows.

Below is a fictionalized account of the safety frauds that are occurring on a daily basis in the offshore industry.

Nobody believes it when you are telling the truth, fictions are more believable.

Imagine a geohazards survey vessel commissioned by an oil company (NeverDelay Oil) for an urgent survey. Geohazards surveys are always urgent and the safety clearance (insurance purposes) for drilling an oil well is always required like yesterday. But the vessel master who was contracted by the shipping agent to command the vessel just a week ago, refused to sail a vessel of such dilapidated condition.

The vessel (let us call it M/V Broken Junk 1 aka BJ1) had been mothballed at port for many years. Although the sea worthiness and safety certificates had just been issued, the Indonesian sea captain knew better than to risk the lives of his 40 crewmen comprising nationalities from several countries including Australia, Singapore and UK, He asked for urgent critical repairs to be made first in Singapore as required by law. But the world's largest contractor (fully accredited ISO 9000 plus) also known by the name FuGold Intl (Forever UnderGoing Repairs Offshore) insisted that the vessel sail by the next 3 days. Faced with extreme pressure, the captain resigned on the spot. No problemo.

The smooth operator always have a list of subservient free-lunch employees who they can depend on at times like this. Captain SNA (ServeAlways Noquestions Asked) answered the urgent call for duty but his medical fitness was a problem. He has been suffering from abdominal pains for months. He was afraid of going for a proper medical checkup in case his persistent medical condition grounded him permanently from offshore duties. He needed the job. This last minute call up was what he had been waiting for. He informed Fugold his medical certificate had expired (offshore workers over 50 years old require annual checkup). Again no problemo. “just fly in to port, we will arrange..” said the operation manager widely known as Mr SafetyFraud. He called up SMC (SickaPoor Medical Centre) for the instant medical certificate to be issued without physical examination. Fugold could have insisted Capt SNA take his medical examination at Manila but he would be needed to attend the Offshore Safety Survivor Safety course as required by HSE (health, safety environment) regulations. It would have taken another 3 more days. At 50,000 USD/day charge to NeverDelay Oil (NDO), it would mean a loss of 150,000 USD chargeable income, besides incurring additional berth charges at port and full onboard survey crew costs. Why bother when counterfeit safety certificates can be faxed to the vessel for cursory inspection? After all, almost all of the vessel's certificates had been fraudulently obtained in the country of registration where corruption is rampant. It would only be a cursory inspection once the credentials of the EU registered international global company is impressed upon the would-be inspectors.

Fugold is accredited against the international quality standard ISO 9001:2000 and operates in accordance with a Health, Safety standard OHSAS 18001:999 and Environmental Management System standard ISO14001:2004 which is integrated with its Quality Management System. Together these systems conform to all national and international legislation as well as industry guidelines. Fugold is a member of the multi-national group of companies with 200 offices operating in over 45 countries. Clients can benefit from individual and collective experience of hundreds of survey professionals worldwide.

With credentials like that, who would dare to question the authenticity of the medical certificate issued from a respectable first world country ranked as the least corrupted country in the world.

The vessel sailed 3 days later after the QC Client Rep from RePeeAss (Restassured Problems Aside Intl) skimmed through all the safety papers and certificates, rushed immediately to his cabin to pass out from 3 days of booze-binge before coming offshore. Less than 3 hours out into the open sea, fire broke out at the engine room followed by a total blackout.

The contractor's party chief (KendoNever SayDie) assured the crew everything was in order. He issued a warning “I am afraid we might not be able complete the survey before this old junk totally breaks down. So please rush everything just in case another fire puts us out of operation. I want everyone to keep a constant lookout for fire breakout 24/7. Our lives depend on it. We have disengaged the fire alarm. Otherwise nobody gets any sleep at all. I know it will be hot in your cabins. The chief engineer informed that the central air-con system cannot be used without risking another fire from the messy burnt internal wiring. Treat this as your privileged Sauna Bath cruise. The operation and recording rooms are fitted with new external air-con. This will be added incentives to work longer hours. Good luck and God Bless us all.”

PC KNSD then ordered the engineers to by-pass the safety fuse-box with direct wiring, disengaged the pesky fire alarm and went on to report to FGHQ SF.

PC KNSD: “Houston ...we have a problem....blah....blah”

FGHQ SF: “IRY. But proceed with O survey plan, repeat urgent. Put incident as Successful Fire Drill. How's CR?”

PC KNSD: “Still passed out”

FGHQ SF: “Good thing we had 3 days at Manila. Put the bar tab as Mob Expenses & Port clearance. Use the Misc ER”.

PC KNSD: “Ok, but..err..fraid' the x-wire might not hold for 3 weeks. BJ1 leaking, MER heating up, stalled a couple of times and Bilge pump NF. Other minor problems but culd burst into bigger things. Man this bucket shudn't even be out here”

FGHQ SF: “Typhoon startin' in the Pacific. Shud hit landfall some time next week. Call weather, head to nearest port next week. Cebu alright? Parts heading there”

PC KNSD: “We are too far south to be affected but Ok, Think of somethin' ”

3 days later 5 am:

PC KNSD: “Houston ...we have a new problem”

FGHQ SF: “Huh? What's up? Port call another 2 days to go”

PC KNSD: “Capt passed out. He's in extreme pain”

FGHQ SF: “OMG. What happened?”

PC KNSD: “His appendix burst, I think. Can't move. Can't touch stomach area. Need Medivac”

FGHQ SF: “Jeezus. Finished the priority site yet?”

PC KNSD: “No, another 5 hours to go. Err another problem.. seismic compressor gone total kaput last night. Halon gas-fire smothering system discharged by another fire in MER. Control panel burnt. No rudder control, Total radio comms blackout”

FGHQ SF: “Jeezus. This is worse than I thought. Knew we shudn't hv taken that MF old junk. But GM said NO. Price as low. @!$%#. Git her for 500USD and charge NeverDelay Oil 50,000 USD/day. How much lower can u get? Log these down, will ya. Will git Mohan to give another month free for all these @!$%#in problems. Hold a minute. Get back to you”.

After 10 minutes.

FGHQ SF: “Ok. Pull up gears and head for Manila”

PC KNSD: “What! Site not completed yet. El Nido is nearest, get there in 3 hours.”

FGHQ SF: “No. Change of Plans. Reloop previous data for present site. Look Dbase in 2007 for Dummo Petroleum. They are just 50 km apart. Similar seafloor & water depth. Will pm RepeeAss on better than expected survey progress. Cite the exceptionally calm sea before the storm. Can't repair them @!$%#in French-made power supply-voltage regulator. Need to be in Manila for major rep job. Do the necessary data swap and details. Can you limp back to port?”

PC KNSD: “Think so. At half speed ok but ...but Capt's in pain. Dunno if he can make it that long. Shud we drop him in El Nido first?”

FGHQ SF: “No, No! Don't @!$%#in do that. Will blow our cover. No port call before Manila. It wuld be in the records. Can't have that. Open Sea okay. @!$%#! He is such a pain in the ass. Just pump in some more morphin or somethin. If he doesn't make it, report an accident or somethin that don't put us in a spot. Serve him right for getting onboard with a pre med problem. Shuld hv known better than to get him that fake MC. He will git us all into lots' trouble. Make sure it is an accident, ok? Don't ask again. Anybody knows. What about the CR?”

PC KNSD: “only the mess boy and Chief mate. Can handle 'em. A big bonus'll do. At M'nila, a night out ok? Don't worry bout' CR. Gave him somethin' for his hang-over. Will keep him in bed next 2 days until M'nila. Over and out. ”

(NB: Capt SNA had advanced gallstones in the bladder medical conditions. Immediate surgical procedures saved his life just in time upon landing. His doctors commented he would have died if he was brought in a bit later. )

At Manila Port, 2 days later.

NeverDelay Oil company (project manager) to FGHQ SF, PC KNSD & survey crew at sign off:

“I want to thank everyone for an excellent job. Evrything went smoothly and exceptionally well. Best of all we beat the deadline. The CR told me you guys went overboard to save us from being hit by weather. Thanks. Let me buy you all a dinner tonight at the Hilton.”

~ above is a compressed rendition of 95% truth and 5% fiction (times, names of parties involved). With this happening everywhere in the world, it is no big surprise the videos from BP were doctored to cover the truth to conveniently play out the deception game. If things play out better than expected or the field operations run too smoothly, junk it. It never happens. Murphy's Laws always apply.

See figure 165-5a as one of the many proofs of recycled data and doctored video. It will be apparent in the coming articles that the blown crater with the oil plume (referred to as Leak(2) on the riser) is actually the blown crater of the third well (BE). As the crater on the seafloor cannot be moving, it is obvious that BP falsified the navigation details on the video. Adulteration, faking and all sorts of frauds are being committed every day in almost every segment of the industry. Because what you don't know, don't hurt until a disaster blows up in our face. Then it is called an “Accident”. In BP's Macondo blowout and mega oil spill disaster, it was more than just an accident.

Douglas H. Brown, the chief mechanic for the Deepwater Horizon, testified Wednesday that he witnessed a “skirmish” on the rig between a BP well site leader and crew members employed by Transocean, the rig’s owner, the morning of the blast.

¶ Mr. Brown said the disagreement followed BP’s decision to replace heavy drilling fluid with lighter saltwater before the well was sealed with a final cement plug.

¶ “Well, this is how it’s going to be,” the BP official said, according to Mr. Brown.

¶ Mr. Gowers declined to answer questions about workers’ accusations or about whether cost may have factored into the company’s decision to use the casing system it chose for the Deepwater Horizon.

Mark Hafle, the BP drilling engineer who wrote plans for well casings and cement seals on the Deepwater Horizon's well, testified that the well had lost thousands of barrels of mud at the bottom. But he said models run onshore showed alterations to the cement program would resolve the issues, and when asked if a cement failure allowed the well to "flow" gas and oil, he wouldn't capitulate.

Hafle said he made several changes to casing designs in the last few days before the well blew, including the addition of the two casing liners that weren't part of the original well design because of problems where the earthen sides of the well were "ballooning." He also worked with Halliburton engineers to design a plan for sealing the well casings with cement.

Another reason you SHOULD DO THIS is because YOU might stumble across some information I did not see. I want people to come back and share that with others OR take it and make your own videos and such about it. We are ALL in this together and we ALL must work in conjunction, just as these companies do against US, to EXPOSE these people.

People do not realize just how bizarre of a world we are living in right now and to the extent at which those in power will go to retain it. This video is a representation of just a FEW things I researched and wanted to share.

There's much more to this. The ties to Bush, Rumsfeld, GD Searle, IG Farben, Hitler...it just goes on and on. If anyone would like be to even further expand on this information, leave it in a comment. Monsanto will never admit but THEY WERE directly connected with the company in Hungary that spilled the red fluoride sludge that killed 100 people and infested the Danube.

BP Pressured Rig Worker to Hurry Before Disaster, Father Says
http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-05-27/bp-pressured-rig-worker-to-hurry-...
Category:

The truth of the disaster is:

1. BP drilled 3 wells (well A, well B and then the third which was labelled BE).

2. The blowout that occurred at 2200 CDT 20 April 2010 did not breach the base cement plug as we had analysed as far back as July 2010. It was caused by a shallow gas influx from the gas-saturated weak Sub Formation (GWSF) zone.  See http://bklim.newsvine.com/_news/2010/07/30/4781973-why-is-bps-macondo-blowout-so-disastrous-beyond-patch-up

3. The more disastrous second bottom-hole blowout occurred on the evening of 22 April  (after 1700 CDT). It was induced by a powerful explosion detonated from within the well. This started the mega oil spill in the gulf. The BOP, riser and top hole casings were blown off the well and lay scattered on the seafloor.  In its place, the famous crater with the oil spewing out. BP called it the 2nd leak on the riser. Tony Hayward tried to twist it further by saying "It was only a small leak in a big ocean".

4. They had to fake the standing BOP from earlier recorded footage. The only trouble is ....there was no gas/oil spewing from the cracks in the Bent Riser. Because the videos on 23 April onwards were all recorded before the 2nd bottom hole blowout. 

5. 20 days later, they reassembled the riser onto a new BOP at well A. What you saw then was the "fake blowout gushing well" while the real gusher well was bellowing 720 ft NW of well A.

Hard to believe. Stay tuned as we present even more evidence. If this is not the truth, we would have been tripping over a thousand times since July 2010. The fact that we did not, shows we had been on the right path towards unearthing the whole truth about this disaster. The truth is so much stranger than fiction. Wait till you read the coming series, currently in their final drafts.

BP's deception in the Gulf, exposed.

BP's killing spree in the Gulf ~ dealing with long term environmental consequences of the Gulf disaster

The mafia in the global oil industry ~ the crime of mass destruction and unscrupulous market manipulation behind these mega oil spill disasters.

Washington, DC — Top Obama officials manipulated scientific analyses of independent experts to seriously lowball the amount of oil leaking from the BP Deepwater Horizon, according to a scientific integrity complaint filed today by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER).

Documents obtained by PEER through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit indicate White House pressure to present low-range estimates as best estimates. In fact, numbers presented to the public were less than half the true flow rate.

On May 19, 2010, one month after the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe, the White House announced creation of a group of experts from academia, industry and government to generate an accurate and independent estimate of the oil leak rate. This group was called the Flow Rate Technical Group (FRTG).

Using new scientific integrity rules, PEER today filed a complaint charging that the leader of one of the FRTG Teams, Dr. William Lehr of the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), manipulated the scientific results of the FRTG experts throughout the entire crisis to significantly understate the spill rate. Lehr is also the author of the now infamous “Oil Budget Calculator” and a report concluding 75% of the oil was gone from the Gulf by August 2010.

The pictures speak for themselves on the gross distortion of truth. Are we going to let BP get away wit this? Did 11 crew die in a preplanned mega oil spill?  Three things you cannot hide, the SUN, the Moon and the Truth ~ Buddha.

According to all mainstream media and investigation reports, the gas blowout on 2200 CDT 20 April 2010, started the oil gushing out of the Macondo Reservoir continuously for the next 87 days. Total estimated oil leaked: 5 million barrels. Yet on all the video footage on 22 April 2010, there was no leaks at all.

Early morning of Friday, 23 April 2010, CBS News broadcast the following statement from the Federal On-Scene Coordinator Rear Admiral Mary Landry (the ranking federal official on the spill response at that time):

“At this time there is no crude emanating from that wellhead at the ocean floor . . . . there is no oil emanating from the riser either. That statement was made after BP enlisted remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to investigate the immediate wellhead area. Footage shown from those ROVs did not show any leaks”.

BP’s own videos at http://OilSpillhub.org show no leakage at this time.

Yet 20 days later, the world was mesmerized 24/7 with the live broadcast of the Gushing Well? How did BP manage to turn on and off the well? Why were the videos from 23 April 2010 till mid May showing the BOP with the Bent Riser all doctored with falsified ROV details, inconsistent coordinates and headings? This has to be the greatest magic (deception) show on earth; "BP's deception in the GUlf". 

Tony Hayward, the former chief executive of BP, has been accused of giving untruthful evidence to US Congress, by plaintiffs suing for damages over the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

In court filings, lawyers argue that Mr Hayward "at best, has a unique view of the truth", citing his congressional testimony from June 2010, in which they claim he was untruthful over the scope of BP's internal investigation into the disaster.

The allegations were made in response to BP's attempts to preclude parts of Mr Hayward's deposition - when he was questioned by the plaintiff's lawyers in preparation for the court case - from being used in evidence at the trial on the grounds he was asked "improper questions".

George Carlin was one of the very few public figures with the balls to tell it like it is and he didn't give a damn about political correctness or what anyone thought about it. The reason for that is because he always told the truth and stood behind the truth. He was not delusional and he refused to be a sheep and follow the status quo. Everyone thought he was a comedian, but the fact is that all he was doing was telling everyone how utterly ridiculous you look trying to be something you're not and listening to people convincing you that blatant lies are truth. Very funny indeed!

An Ill-fated Discovery
According to news accounts, at about 10 p.m. CDT last Tuesday, Deepwater Horizon was stable, holding an exact position in calm, dark seas about 45 miles south of the Louisiana coastline. Water depth in the area is 5,000 feet. The vessel manifest listed 126 souls on board.

Deepwater Horizon was finishing work on an exploration well named Macondo, in an area called Mississippi Canyon Block 252. After weeks of drilling, the rig had pushed a bit down over 18,000 feet, into an oil-bearing zone. The Transocean and BP personnel were installing casing in the well. BP was going to seal things up, and then go off and figure out how to produce the oil -- another step entirely in the oil biz.

The Macondo Block 252 reservoir may hold as much as 100 million barrels. That's not as large as other recent oil strikes in the Gulf, but BP management was still pleased. Success is success --
certainly in the risky, deep-water oil environment. The front office of BP Exploration was preparing a press release to announce a "commercial" oil discovery.

The government documentation provided in this video Prove beyond any reasonable doubt that BP is lying about the status of the Relief Well D in the Gulf of Mexico that was drilled as a means to 'kill' the original Macondo well that blew. The Relief Well D was reportedly sealed by BP in September 2010. Why and how was a BOP Test ran on a 'permanently sealed' and capped well? That my friends is physically IMPOSSIBLE! So, now that you know, are you going to allow our government to continue covering up for BP and allowing them to manage their Own Crime Scene? Or are you going to be a voice of courage and reason?

Again, a sincere Thank You to Shirley Tillman, Lorie Williams, Laurel Lockamy, and Trisha James. Also Thank You Dahr Jamail reporter and Erika Blumenfeld photographer for AlJazeera and all the Gulf Warriors who are continuing to report the ongoing depth of the true devastation in the Gulf of Mexico due to BP's disasterous explosion of the Deep Water Horizon.

This research and accompanying petition are solely the expressed opinion of Rhea Aker.

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.

I took this video of HUNDREDS OF DEAD FISH every step on he beach KILLED BY THE BP OIL SPILL on 6-9-11 in Gulfport, Mississippi

Today is Thursday September 29, 2011. A friend of mine just returned from Venice, Louisiana on a fact finding mission. He spent 2 days there and talked to dozens of fishermen and BP contractors and Coast Guard personnel and there is alot of oil at the Deepwater Horizon-Macondo well site. It is not a sheen, It is several inches thick in some spots. A chemical analysis has confirmed it is Macondo oil.There is alot of activity in Venice and resources are being ramped up.
Word is that geological formation above oil deposit is unstable and oil is leaking from fissures around wellhead. All sealife on ocean bottom is dead according to Woods Hole Oceanograpic Institute in 30+ mile radius from site and Corexit dispersant is present in large amounts. According to Sergio Alex Villalobos who is a toxicologist for Nalco, the company that makes Corexit,”Once It’s mixed with oil,that’s where you get the most impact, that’s were you see most of the toxicity”.
He was quoted in the September 2010 issue of Scientific American magazine on page 26. There are alot of sick people that worked on the initial oil spill cleanup and residents in many coastal towns and cities that are sick. This is the second inning of a long nightmare and anyone who signed a release to get a ‘quickpay’ from BP and their minion Fienberg should hire a lawyer asap and hope they can get their release annulled. BP top brass are sociopaths… “

A cave-in along Bukit Timah Road towards Woodlands Road caused a heavy jam on Wednesday afternoon, local media reported.

The cave-in along a drain embankment at the junction of Bukit Timah Road and Clementi Road reportedly occurred on Tuesday night.

Out of the four lanes, two lanes on Bukit Timah Road were closed to traffic. Maintenance crews have been carrying out roadworks since 10pm, Tuesday, to fill the holes, daily freesheet Today reported.

Curators at Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum, where the rock has attracted tens of thousands of visitors each year, discovered that the "lunar rock", valued at £308,000, was in fact petrified wood.

Xandra van Gelder, who oversaw the investigation, said the museum would continue to keep the stone as a curiosity.

"It's a good story, with some questions that are still unanswered," she said. "We can laugh about it."

The rock was given to Willem Drees, a former Dutch leader, during a global tour by Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin following their moon mission 50 years ago.

Accountability by corporate and government leaders would be the quickest way to get rid of corruption. Imagine if Dick Cheney was in prison right now instead of a press junket, the corrupt corporate/government landscape would change overnight.

Deregulation and Plunder in Texas

The Texas heatwave in early August resulted in a 6000% increase in emergency energy costs due to a shortage caused by the Energy Reliability Council of Texas' (ERCOT) gross underestimate of summer electricity demand. ERCOT is a quasi-governmental "non-profit" company that manages the grid and the marketplace for 85% of the state's customers. Texas has been bilked out of at least $11 billion since the advent of deregulation.

ERCOT was created when Texas deregulated the electricity market in 2002 under a law passed by former Governor Bush. ERCOT has a history of corruption (note: the report's criticisms of ERCOT appear accurate, but its author Oncor is compromised, too- they are Smart Meter pushers and are owned by Goldman Sachs, et al).

Enron, a private Houston based corporation and energy marketer, was the primary architect of deregulation in Texas. Enron's Ken Lay was undersecretary of the Department of Interior, so he knew who to bribe to manipulate policies. Enron excelled in lobbying for deregulation and spent over $8 million since 1998 in its home state with contributions (bribes) to both Bush and Rick Perry.

Texas unfairly bases its energy prices on natural ga instead of cheap coal prices using standard commodity pricing. However, some critics believe that natural gas gets an unfair advantage because of insider corruption.

* Pennsylvania natgas well blows out during fracking

* Local residents have been evacuated

NEW YORK, April 20 (Reuters) - A natural gas well was spilling thousands of gallons of fracking fluid water in Pennsyvlania on Wednesday after a blowout during the process of fracturing the bedrock, state and local regulators said.

The well, operated by Chesapeake Energy (CHK.N: Quote), suffered a blowout during the process of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, the state environmental regulators said. .

The well began spewing water at 11.45 p.m. on Tuesday and local residents have been evacuated from Leroy Township, Bradford County, the company said in a statement. No one was hurt, it said.

"An equipment failure occurred during well-completion activities, allowing the release of completion fluids," the statement said.

Movie showing BP is far from done cleaning up their mess - by Michele Walker-Harmon.

For those die-hard BP supporters (paid or otherwise, vested business interests or otherwise or simply for just being dependent on BP life support system), please wake up to reality.  These are compelling evidence that all is not well. Destroying the planet is destroying us all. No one is spared. 

Jan. 5th 2012 10pm

Nomac Drilling Rig #17 drilled into a shallow gas pocket soon after spudding in at a drilling depth of 900' northwest of Sweetwater, Oklahoma this evening around 6pm and burned to the ground. No injuries were reported.

Workers stated that they encountered the abnormally pressurized zone at relief time around 6pm when the relief crew was in the change house.

It was first thought that they had encountered a shallow air pocket but after testing with a "sniffer" (a device to determine the presence of hydrocarbons) the well soon caught fire.
Witnesses 3/4 of a mile to the north reported hearing a loud "boom" from their residence "and then it sounded like a jet engine was right outside our home".

BP has been ordered to take immediate steps to address a number of "serious breaches" of regulations in connection with a fire on its Valhall platform last year, Norway's offshore safety authority said Thursday.

The Petroleum Safety Authority said the July 13 fire involved the breakdown of a crane engine due to overheating, which led to a fire in the vent stack of the platform's compressors. The blaze led to production at the 40,000 barrel a day field shutting down for more than two months.

"Overheating combined with a defective spark arrestor and silencer meant that red-hot particles leaving the exhaust pipe blew across and ignited flammable gases from the vent stack," the regulator said in a statement.

As our van rolled to a stop in front of the Rantau Panjang security checkpoint near the Malaysian-Thai border, an officer from the General Operations Force (GOF) walked out of the guard post and motioned us to lower the window.

"Sepuluh ringgit, cepat, cepat (RM10/S$2, hurry, hurry)," he whispered, extending his hand inside the vehicle and glancing nervously at the other vehicles that had pulled up behind our dilapidated van.

An undercover enforcement officer in the front passenger seat pulled out RM10 and handed it to the middle-aged GOF officer. He then let us through with a wave of his hand.

Moments later, at another checkpoint - this time, Customs - the undercover agent got out and opened the back door of the van and showed them our illicit cargo of contraband fragrant rice stuffed in pillowcases and other taxable goods.

The payoff this time was RM50 (S$20.50) and the methodology involved a bit of sleight-of-hand.

Though the director isn’t as combative as Michael Moore, he asks tough questions and elicits squirms from several participants, notably former Treasury secretary David McCormick and Columbia dean Glenn Hubbard, George W. Bush’s economic adviser.

Their reactions are understandable, since the borders between Wall Street, Washington, and the Ivy League dissolved years ago; it’s hard to know who to trust when conflicts of interest run rampant.

If Ferguson takes Reagan and Bush to task for tax cuts that benefit the wealthy, he criticizes Clinton for encouraging derivatives and Obama for failing to deliver on the promise of reform. And in the category of unlikely heroes: former governor Eliot Spitzer, who fought against fraud as New York’s attorney general (he’s the subject of Gibney’s documentary Client 9).

Only 17 months before BP's Deepwater Horizon rig suffered a deadly blowout in the Gulf of Mexico, another BP deepwater oil platform also blew out.

You've heard and seen much about the Gulf disaster that killed 11 BP workers. If you have not heard about the earlier blowout, it's because BP has kept the full story under wraps. Nor did BP inform Congress or US safety regulators, and BP, along with its oil industry partners, have preferred to keep it that way.

The earlier blowout occurred in September 2008 on BP's Central Azeri platform in the Caspian Sea.

As one memo marked "secret" puts it, "Given the explosive potential, BP was quite fortunate to have been able to evacuate everyone safely and to prevent any gas ignition." The Caspian oil platform was a spark away from exploding, but luck was with the 211 rig workers.

It was eerily similar to the Gulf catastrophe as it involved BP's controversial "quick set" drilling cement.

I just watched the video and it is pretty good, in my opinion. I had seen bits and pieces of local news coverage and interviews with eye-witness and survivors on ‘YouTube’ and knew there was something wrong about the ‘official government story’, but this video does a pretty good job of putting it all together about the OKC bombing.

I watched the day of the bombing unfold on television with special interest because I had lived and worked in the Oklahoma City area many years ago, and I also saw how the story changed from day to day.

This DVD is powerful and disturbing, and downright scary to see and consider a real case of domestic terrorism committed by our own government or rogue elements within this government

High waves hit many seaside southern provinces yesterday, spreading panic among locals who were reminded of the 2004 deadly tsunami.

Acting on behalf of Lang Suan district chief, senior assistant district officer Apinya Khondee ordered the evacuation of affected people.

Elsewhere, the big waves and strong winds also caused panic.

"I've never seen such big waves before," said Fon Yangnoi, a 60-year-old resident in Prachuap Khiri Khan's Sam Roi Yot district.

He was speaking after the waves, between two and four metres high, ravaged seaside restaurants and shops along the coastline.

THE five-hour disruption on the North-South MRT Line on Thursday started with four trains stopping in the tunnel, leaving 127,000 commuters stranded - 4,000 of whom were stuck in stuffy carriages.

A COMPLEX SITUATION
Ms Saw, flanked by Khoo Hean Siang (left) and Goh Chee Kong (right), ruled out ageing infrastructure as the cause for the misalignment because the company undertakes strict routine maintenance and regular overhauls
SMRT Corp president and CEO Saw Phaik Hwa apologised for the lapse at a media briefing yesterday.

'Many commuters are unhappy at the moment. There is nothing more to say except that we are very sorry,' she said. 'We apologise for the considerable inconvenience, especially to those who were uncomfortable in the stranded trains.'

The disruption started at 6.47pm and was caused by a 40-metre section of misaligned third rail between Dhoby Ghaut and City Hall MRT stations.

Ms Saw said the cause of the misalignment was still being investigated but ruled out ageing infrastructure because the listed company undertakes strict routine maintenance and regular overhauls.

'We can't ascertain why it happened because it's never happened before,' she said.

SMRT said a confluence of factors complicated 'a complex situation'. There was the peak-hour congestion as well as the severity of the problem.

'I'm still afraid that I might get into trouble with the authorities, even though I had no criminal intent,' he told BT.

The 31-year-old and his wife had been travelling north after work when the lights began to flicker soon after their train left Dhoby Ghaut station. 'This never happens, so I knew something was wrong,' he said. Between Somerset and Orchard, the train came to a halt. The driver told passengers that the train was experiencing technical problems. 'Unfortunately, several other functions started to shut down. Eventually, it got to the point where the ventilation fans were not working,' he said.

THE SMART Tunnel is the pride and joy of the authorities who have always touted it as the ultimate solution to the flood problems in Kuala Lumpur. When the project was rushed to be opened in January 2007, we were all told that the floods that hit the city a few months earlier would be the last as the tunnel was the longest and biggest storm drain project in South-East Asia.

True enough, for several years our capital city seemed to have been spared from any deluge despite some heavy downpour. Motorists were irritated when the tunnel had to be closed to accommodate the draining of rainwater to the retention ponds but, generally, city folk were impressed with the workings of the RM1.9bil Storm Water Management and Road Tunnel project - until last Tuesday.

A drilling rig with 67 crew on board capsized and sank off Russia's far eastern island of Sakhalin on Sunday while being towed through a winter storm, leaving more than 50 dead or missing in the icy Sea of Okhotsk.

Emergency officials said the crew of an icebreaker and tugboat rescued 14 workers alive from the jack-up rig, the 'Kolskaya', which was operated by a Russian offshore exploration firm. They recovered four bodies from the water.

"The Kolskaya keeled to its side ... and sank within 20 minutes. The depth of the water at the site is 1,042 metres (3,400 feet)," Russia's federal water transport agency said on its website.

Four of the survivors, suffering from hypothermia, were airlifted by helicopter to land and taken to hospital after the disaster struck at 12:45 p.m. (0145 GMT).

The rest of the crew were missing, 200 km (125 miles) off the coast of remote Sakhalin island. The water temperature was one degree Celsius (33.8 Fahrenheit), giving survivors around 30 minutes before freezing to death, according to maritime and rescue websites.

Once again Taib’s dirty tricks against Sarawak Report and Radio Free Sarawak have spectacularly backfired!  

In the past few hours it has emerged that the Chief Minister, along with his son-in-law, Sean Murray, was one of the clients who hired Bell Pottinger to alter Wikipedia entries about themselves, their companies, Sarawak… and, of course,Sarawak Report/Radio Free Sarawak!

Bell Pottinger is the PR giant that has been at the centre of a scandal that has been gripping the UK since Tuesday.  The company, which first achieved fame as Margaret Thatcher’s favourite agency, has developed a reputation for professional ruthlessness and a willingness to do business with unpleasant clients.

Since then, scientists have been working to answer questions many people have: What are the effects, short and long-term, on our ecosystem, public health and our seafood?

At the Civic Center in Biloxi, three experts told a group of people we are far from realizing the extent of the damage.

"Right now, the negative signs are piling up,” said Dr. Ed Cake who specializes in oysters.

Dr. Scott Milroy is an oceanographer and professor at University of Southern Mississippi. He said the toxin levels in the species in the Gulf are higher than the FDA led us to believe and registered as unsafe through his studies following the spill.

"What does it mean moving forward as far as how’s it going to affect those organisms long-term as far as survival - Whether they will reproduce in the next generation for shrimpers and oysters next year? Will they have a crop to go out and harvest? All of these questions are a little more concerning if you have a level of contamination in these species which was higher than people thought,” said Milroy.

Dr. Ed Cake said the oyster industry has been decimated, and we can’t hope to see an improvement anytime soon.

"So if were talking about what's happening here, we already know at 18 months there’s no recovery started. Even if the oysters begin setting in the spring, that will be another 5 years before that's crop of oysters to be ready, so were looking at least 5 years,” said Cake.

Finally, there's the issue of human health.

Dr. Wilma Surba has been studying the crude crisis' effects on people mentally and physically, and she has found serious problems.

"It’s a lot of respiratory problems, skin rashes, skin lesions, decreased lung functions - problems that are acute in the beginning and are now very chronic problems,” said Surba.

Each of the panelists said the effects of the oil spill cannot be fully realized just yet.

Through private studies like theirs, they said we will find the lasting footprint of the oil spill.

The MSM has done their job successfully silencing the real news and as of August 10, 2011 you would never know that there is still an ongoing disaster being played out in the United States as there is still oil, dead sea creatures, petroleum covered birds and other contaminants washing up on the beaches surrounding the Gulf of Mexico as a result of the BP oil spill disaster. Dinise Rednour is a youtube user that tries her hardest to show her fellow Americans that the BP oil spill disaster is far from being over.

What makes Libya's Oil so special
Libya's oil reserves are the largest in Africa and the ninth largest in the world. Libya possesses an estimated 44 billion barrels of oil underground. Historically the rate of extraction in Libya has been lower than average, prompting oil experts to view these large reserves as under-exploited. Libyan oil fields are under-developed compared to other countries like Saudi fields which are showing depletion. Statistically, in long-terms, it means there's more chance to extract oil from a new well in Libya, meaning more profits over the same investment. This kind of opportunity does not ring on the door bell of oil companies often. There's basically a much higher probability for oil companies to make a lot of money in Libya than anywhere else. While Libya managed to produce 1.6 million barrels per day under Gaddafi, production has come to a grinding halt since the rebel uprising.

Based on Brazilian government data showing the locations of active drill rigs, provided to us by some of our very helpful followers on Twitter, we conclude that Chevron's well was being drilled by the SEDCO 706 semisubmersible drill rig operated by - wait for it - Transocean.  Yes, the same company that operated the doomed Deepwater Horizon rig for BP.

The MODIS/Aqua satellite image from NASA, above, was taken three days ago.  It shows an apparent oil slick originating from the drilling location and extending over 2,379 square kilometers (the south end of the slick gets entrained in an interesting clockwise eddy in the ocean currents).  At 1 micron thickness, that's a volume of 628,000 gallons (14,954 barrels) of oil.

--Scientists Fear Fresh BP Oil Surfacing at Deepwater Horizon Site Is Making Landfall 100 Miles away --As public concern escalates, the critically acclaimed oil spill documentary "The Big Fix" premieres Nov. 12th-14th in Los Angeles

 

The Gulf Coast is reeling from reports that fresh oil rising from BP's Macondo Reservoir - ground zero of last year's massive spill - is coming ashore, again. Scientists have confirmed the existence of a "second wave" of BP oil fouling Gulf waters and beaches, poisoning marine life and wildlife, and posing a grave public health risk.

While federal officials fail to acknowledge the problem, the situation in the Gulf worsens by the day. "It's deja vu all over again, in the very worst way," says New Orleans-based environmental attorney Stuart H. Smith. "We have fresh oil surfacing again at the Deepwater Horizon site.'

Through rigorous "fingerprint" testing, LSU chemist Ed Overton confirmed that slicks sweeping across the Macondo Prospect since mid-August are made up of BP oil. "It is a dead-ringer match," Professor Overton said. "I was amazed that the ratios matched as good as they did."

Chemical confirmation that the oil is from the Macondo wellsite provides vindication for those who pursued the truth for months despite a hard-nosed campaign of denial, intimidation and obfuscation executed by BP and its partners in the federal government. It is this very type of corporate-government "teamwork" that The Big Fix - the critically acclaimed oil spill documentary - portrays in riveting detail.

Based on lab-certified test results of oil samples taken last month on Horn Island - a narrow strip of federally protected land just 12 miles off the Mississippi coast -researchers believe that fresh BP oil from the Macondo Prospect has made landfall more than 100 miles north of its origin.

On the farms, the bears - mostly Asiatic black bears - are kept in tiny, cramped cages and milked for their bile through crude holes cut into the abdomen wall and the gall bladder.

The wounds are deliberately left open, leaving the bears exposed to infection and disease. They are kept hungry and denied free access to water because this helps produce more bile.

The farms are still found in many parts of China and other Asian countries, fuelling poaching and illegal trade in the animals.

Dr Feng’s research shows that herbal alternatives and bile from other animals such as cattle - which can be collected cheaply at abbatoirs - can be more effective than bear bile.

He will argue that growing opposition to animal substitutes will mean that, eventually, only plant substitutes will be acceptable. “The final choice will have to be to use plants to substitute bear bile,” he will tell the conference at Central Hall.

There were "many, many restrictions" within the well and other drilling equipment on the seafloor, Suttles said, dramatically slowing the release of oil. "This is a long way away from something more significant."

Events soon proved Suttles' reassurances to be terribly misplaced. The leak rate at the time was far, far higher than BP portrayed to the Coast Guard -- more than 50,000 barrels per day from the moment the rig went down until the well was capped 87 days later, a government-led panel of physicists and engineers would conclude that August. At that rate, the leak had produced an Exxon Valdez-sized spill at least every five days.

Today, more than a year after the spill ended, serious questions remain about BP's role in estimating the size of the undersea gusher.

What is clear is that BP failed, throughout the event, to produce an accurate estimate of the size of the leak to the federal government or the public. Also readily apparent is the company's strong vested interest in downplaying the size of the spill: federal pollution laws stipulate fines as high as $4,300 for every barrel of oil unlawfully discharged into U.S. waters.

Less obvious is precisely how and why the multinational energy giant fell so short in its efforts to determine the scale of the disaster. BP officials have adamantly denied deliberately lowballing the size of the spill, arguing that the company was overwhelmed by the technical challenge of measuring the deep-sea leak and claiming that the government shares equal responsibility for the early flow estimates.

Yet a review by The Huffington Post of thousands of pages of documents, along with interviews with dozens of engineers, scientists and government officials, has uncovered new information challenging BP’s portrayal of its efforts to measure the leak -- and found the company may have withheld crucial data on the well’s flow rate from federal responders during the spill.

According to federal officials, BP was solely responsible for producing the very first spill estimate of 1,000 barrels per day, a figure which led to a sense of complacency about the seriousness of the event among some federal and state responders at the outset of the disaster, the presidential commission on the oil spill concluded in January 2011. BP has never publicly acknowledged generating this figure and even the commission’s investigators could not determine the methodology used to produce it.

-         BK Lim 10 October 2011 

There are always solutions. It is only a matter of interest. Corporate interests take over when you don’t.

Excessive monsoon rain for the last 3 months has drowned almost a third of Thailand's land mass; devastating some of the most productive farmland and putting at risk some of the most treasured ancient temples. The worst flood in 50 years dealt a dramatic blow to Japanese automobile, precision instruments and other industries because the nation is now an important global production base for numerous manufacturers. (19 Oct 2011 Japan Times).  Besides billions of dollars in damages and putting nearly 700,000 people temporarily out of work (23 Oct 2011, Seattlepi.com), the 2011 flood is a grim reminder that Mother Nature is not well and the worse is yet to come.

Thailand is not the only country faced with massive flooding problems. Other South-east Asian countries particularly Vietnam and Philippines seem to bear the brunt of the ferocious typhoons late in the season. Northern Australia (Queensland) was the first to be hit with the worst flood of the century lasting 2 months; from Dec 2010 till Jan of 2011. The 2011 Brazil floods of January were considered the worst in the country's history. By 18 Jan. the floods had taken about 700 lives and 14,000 people made homeless mainly due to landslides. In the June-Sept 2011 period, flooding in China affected more than 4.8 million people, with 100,000 evacuated and 54 reported dead. The floods which occurred in central and southern parts of China were caused by heavy rain that inundated portions of 12 provinces, leaving other provinces still suffering a prolonged drought. A total of over 36 million people have been affected, killing at least 355 and with direct economic losses of nearly US$6.5 billion ~ Wikipedia.

There seems to be more intense and widespread flooding less than a year after the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Is this a mere coincidence? Or is there more to it and the main stream media is not telling?

As of late Oct 2011, the massive oil spill has not run its course yet. There has been has been numerous sighting of fresh oils and reported gas bubbles at locations where previous oil slick had been found. See figure 145-1 (U20111023) below. All these confirmed our previous prediction of long term climatic consequences following the mega oil spill disaster in the gulf.

While massive flooding had occurred before; they have never occurred on such a massive scale over so many regions at such close intervals following a massive well blowout and a mega oil spill.

Pro-oil scientists and geologists often cite that it is impossible for a tiny 10inch well spewing only 60,000 bpd (upgraded from the initial 1,000) for 87 days to have caused such havoc to the world’s climate. Their favorite line of argument: “No well blowout in history has caused such massive environmental havoc before”.  But did they emphasize the huge fundamental flaws in their argument?

First and foremost there has never been a well blowout so deep underwater and so disastrous. Although the government officially capped it at 4.1 millions barrels, talks among industry circles put it possibly many times more. With the reservoir still leaking openly through the faulted pathways all around the gulf, the leaks will not stop until depletion. The Macondo recoverable reserves was estimated to be as low as 50 million barrels but a Forbes publication suggested it could more likely be a hefty 1 billion barrels.

This means a lot more oil has yet to leak out through the broken geology if nothing is done. In a worst case scenario, the wide spread underground erosion sets off an unprecedented shallow crustal adjustments in the New Madrid fault zone. Like an unwinding spring coil releasing all the pent-up stresses accumulate over thousands of years. The Macondo prospect lies within the central pivoting point of the intra-plate tectonics and a “deep puncture” here is more disastrous than anywhere else in the gulf.   

Further BP drilled not 1 but 3 wells (excluding the 2 relief wells) all within 1000 ft of each other. Even well A (showcased as the official blown well) spewed gas and oil continuously for 87 days. What about the blown crater at open well no# 3 (referred to as Well BE in the recently exposed videos) and several blowholes, dozens of vents along the fault lines and at the edges of the salt domes.

The oil slick pattern covering an area of 580 sq miles in just 2 days after the 22 April 2^nd explosion, could not have come from just one well at the south-western edge of the slick area. All evidences showed that a lot more oil (not just from well A alone) spewed out from the blown crater at the 3^rd well, blow holes, vents and fissures along the fault lines and salt domes. With BP still carrying out grouting works till late Nov2010, the actual amount of oil spewed could have been 10 times more than conservative estimates.

The main stream media has also not emphasized the massive amount of green house gases released into the atmosphere? The widespread vaporization of methane deposit (due to hot escaping oil) and toxic gasses leaking from the Macondo reservoir have not ceased for sure. After more than 15 months of relentless underground erosion (from reservoir level to the seafloor) the rate of toxic gas emissions is likely to have increased exponentially. 

Methane is more potent than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas affecting climate change. More heating capacity means higher evaporation rate on a larger scale; leading to higher water vapor content in the atmosphere. Higher moisture content in our atmosphere means more volatility because water-laden air traps more energy and does not allow uniform distribution of heat over the earth’s surface. This allows more frequent building up of intense high pressure zones in the ocean. At the same time, dry continental masses heat up faster creating very low pressure zones. The increase in ferocity and frequency of the hurricanes (or typhoons) in the summer months that follow is not coincidental but a logical consequence of that mega oil spill. Prolonged droughts and flooding periods will certainly increase and will create havoc with agricultural production the world over.

To be fair, the world was already swamped with environmental pollution from the rapid pace of global industrialization, mining and urbanization. An oil spill and gas discharge on such a massive scale just turbo-charged and drove the world faster over the brink. Observational evidence shows a clear correlation between historic eruptions and subsequent years of cold climate conditions. See Geology SDSU.Edu on the examples of Laki (1783), Tambora (1815), Karkatau (1883) and Pinatubo (1991).  No doubt the volume of gases and other volcanic materials spewed during the eruptions are more massive within a few weeks but the Gulf’s mega oil spill disaster lasted much longer (at least 15 months longer and counting) and spread wider.

Our present surface irrigation and drainage systems (designed and built decades ago) cannot cater for the inevitable sea level rise, let alone the heavier and longer rainfall periods. Perennial flooding and droughts with massive and destructive forest fires are clearly on the rise. Rapid and massive deforestation (by fires) will increase even more greenhouse gas emissions.

We are thus on the threshold of a spiraling catastrophic climate cycle, thanks to mega oil spill and continuing massive gas discharge which has pushed us prematurely into this climatic roller-coaster ride.  If we do nothing now, more farmland, nuclear power plants and cities are going to be flooded sooner or later.  Is there a solution? You bet there is but corporate profit-oriented oil-centric interests are not willing to lose their lucrative multi-billion global business. The mega oil spill and HAARP have shown us that altering the earth’s climate is not that impossible. We should be able to reverse back the damage done not only by the Gulf’s disaster but from years of pollution and abuse of Mother Nature. It is time we Hydro-Balance Mother Nature back to health.

Why Hydro-Balancing?

Water cover 70% of the planet’s surface. A lot more is present within the earth’s crust than currently thought of. We have always assumed the hydrologic cycle to be balanced as illustrated below:

The hydrologic cycle is a conceptual model that describes the storage and movement of water between the biosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere, and the hydrosphere (see Figure 8b-1). Water on this planet can be stored in any one of the following reservoirs: atmosphere, oceans, lakes, rivers, soils, glaciers, snowfields, and groundwater.

Figure 8b-1: Hydrologic Cycle. (from http://www.physicalgeography.net/fundamentals/8b.html)

Water moves from one reservoir to another by way of processes like evaporation, condensation, precipitation, deposition, runoff, infiltration, sublimation, transpiration, melting, and groundwater flow. The oceans supply most of the evaporated water found in the atmosphere. Of this evaporated water, only 91% of it is returned to the ocean basins by way of precipitation. The remaining 9% is transported to areas over landmasses where climatological factors induce the formation of precipitation. The resulting imbalance between rates of evaporation and precipitation over land and ocean is corrected by runoff and groundwater flow to the oceans.

As you can see on this USGS website on NATURAL PROCESSES OF GROUND-WATER AND SURFACE-WATER INTERACTION (http://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/circ1139/htdocs/natural_processes_of_ground.htm) much of the recharge groundwater never penetrate deep into the landmass except for some special conditions such as artesian aquifers.

Although most of the surface water is evaporated and falls back to ground, that water does not return to the inner continental mass or deep hydrosphere. Deep groundwater reservoirs were never replenished. For more than 2,000 years there has been a net loss of water (from the deep hydrosphere) and net gain in our surface hydrosphere (ocean, lakes, rivers, atmosphere and upper groundwater). Our hydrologic cycle was never balanced as we blindly assumed.

Our surface hydrosphere is like an enclosed glass container. Once the water enters it, it cannot escape. There is thus an increasing level of water content in the surface hydrosphere with increasingly disastrous heavy rainfalls and prolonged droughts. The Gulf's mega contribution in green house gasses would have mattered less, if not for the already imbalanced hydrosphere.

The water within the surface has nowhere to go but back into the ocean and the rain cycle repeats itself while the deserts within the continental land mass become drier and drier. Drying continental masses are also much lighter as air replaces water. Water is 781.25 times heavier than air.  1 cubic metre of water at 4 deg Celsius weighs 1000kg or 1 metric ton. Naturally the increase in sea level is less noticeable being accompanied by isostatic adjustments of the lighter continental mass. A 10m sandstone bed over 1sq. km could contain as much as 2 million cu.metres of water. Replacing even 50% of the water content with air would reduce the weight of the same sandstone bed by 998,720 tons for each 1 million cu.metres of water replaced. Any wonder why the world’s larges dam with 39.3 cu.km capacity would cause earthquakes, cracks and landslides. The difference in weight (heavier) is a staggering 39.25 million tons.

Officials dismissed the first landslides as the foreseeable side-effects of a massive dam project. They are not so dismissive now. A total of 9,324 potentially dangerous sites have been identified. Geologists working midway down the reservoir have found 700 around one town alone on the north bank. Experts say the landslides could go on for 20 years as a huge settlement of earth and water takes shape. It will cost China more than £5 billion to solve all this. A special budget is being worked out inside the opaque bureaucracy that controls the state’s megaprojects.

The global sea level rise is not just the melting of the polar caps but increasing water content in the surface hydrosphere. A large part of that increase came gradually from the deep continental masses. Geologic records tell us that sea level in the past had been as high as 200 to 250m above the present level. How much is due to isostatic adjustment is debatable. In many past marine surveys, I was amazed at the recoveries of partially decayed and some well-preserved wood fragments in the core samples recovered at the edges of the present continental shelf. This could only mean the present continental shelf edges at 150-200m depths were once the estuarine and river mouths when global sea level receded as low as 200 m from the present sea level. Other geological evidences will be discussed in later postings. We are now roughly in the mid level of historic global sea level highs and lows.

Climate scientists have always estimated global sea level rise as 1.5 – 2.0 mm / year ~ www.climate.org/topics/sea-level/index.html. But like everything else this was estimated over the last 100 years. Is the increase in sea level gradual or occurs in sudden jumps of 2 to 10m each time the atmosphere decides to unload its excess water load? Just like the carbon sink models, the hydro sink in the hydrosphere will absorbed the increase in water content until full capacity is reached. It then dumps the excess load; resulting in a sudden rise. We may be lulled into a false sense of security with the gradual rise theory. Were the biblical great floods (commonly told in other cultural histories as well) the result of this sudden and hefty rise in sea levels? If such floods occurred 2,000 – 4,000 years ago, then such great floods may be due within our present life time.

Like all long term illnesses, the pressing problems of massive flooding cannot be tackled overnight. By the time massive flooding occurs, it is too later to handle the problems of draining massive quantities of water. The solution cannot also drain the rivers dry and should be able to return the stored water for use during prolonged droughts automatically. Each hydro-channelling scheme should be a building block towards the global solution of reducing our energy dependence on Oil and the excessive water vapor in our surface hydrosphere. The faster governments around the world adopt the principles of hydro-balancing with such simple eco-friendly geological solutions the faster Mother Nature is nursed back to health.

Instead of wasteful overproduction of cars and consumer goods, over-building of houses, dams and roads, over-mining of resources and destructive drilling / fracking exploration, just to keep the economy going, governments should look into channeling valuable human and financial resources into productive dual-use deep water wells, underground drainage channels to supplement and adapt available geological resources to recycle water back into the deep hydrosphere. Besides providing an economic boost with high employment, these master solutions tackle multiple problems at the very root level, water the basis of life.

Regional fault zones and deep aquifers (porous geological formations) can be easily converted into valuable water recycling/transport channels, water store and supplies, clean of toxic cancer-causing agents. Instead of building expensive filtration plants, why not allow natural filtration processes take their course in recycling our waste water into fresh mineral water deep within the rock formation. Civilisation should fit into the nature’s way of cycling water, not upset it with artificial manufacturing processes with compounded problems.

Massive hydro-dams, coastal tidal barriers, floodgates and dredging/deepening of waterways are not long term solutions as we do not remove the excess water from the surface hydrosphere. Instead we should have distributed flood control vertical drains to complement existing surface drainage system. The vertical drains do not flow back to the rivers (as in the present system causing congestion during peak flows) but connect back to the deep hydrosphere through the regional faults. With millions of cubic metres of freshwater diverted back to the continental interior through a network of faults, the amount of fresh water flows into the sea is not only reduced. New industries capitalizing on renewable sources of energy, automatic distributed urban flood-control schemes, cost-effective irrigation schemes to water the deserts and prevent massive forest fires could spring up. The billions of dollars saved from future environmental carnage should be sufficient to finance nation-wide construction. The construction boom in underground channeling projects and future increase in agricultural production are bonuses.

Long Term Eco-friendly geological solution to Thailand flooding woes.

As with the rest of the world, Thailand’s irrigation and flood control system has been built on the basic principle of water storage during the wet monsoon seasons and controlled release during the dry seasons for year round agriculture. This is done through a network of irrigation canals, hydro-power dams and flood-control sluice gates. There are also millions of shallow water wells, many of which had not been used in recent years. All surface runoff in the northern part of Thailand eventually flow into the four main rivers (Nan, Ping, Yom & Wang) which converged into the Menam Chao Phraya at Nakkon Sawan, approximately 140 miles from Bangkok.

An important rice bowl of the world, Thailand’s agricultural production depends on a regulated supply of water all year round. Bangkok, the commercial heart and capital, sits at the river mouth the Menam Chao Phraya. With a basin of 61,931 sq miles and a total length of 231 miles, it discharges an average of 718 cu.m of water per second (max: 5,960 cu.m/s) into the Gulf of Thailand. (source Wikipedia).

The floods since July 2011 had killed 270 people and had affected 8.2 million people in 60 of Thailand’s 77 provinces; 30 of which are currently inundated. Officials at the Agriculture Ministry said 1.17 million hectares of rice fields might be damaged. Thailand, the world's biggest rice exporter, has about 10.9 million hectares planted with the staple grain. Another 283,279 hectares of land planted with other crops is also likely to have suffered damage, the ministry said. Bank of Thailand governor PrasarnTrairatvorakul said a preliminary estimate by the central bank shows economic losses from flooding that began in late July range from $1.9 billion to $2.6 billion USD.

BANGKOK, October 27, 2011 (AFP) - Thousands of nervous Bangkok residents flocked to bus, rail and air terminals Thursday while heavy traffic snaked out of the sprawling Thai capital in an exodus from a mass of approaching floodwater. Water was seeping into central areas of the city of 12 million people, entering the grounds of the Grand Palace after the Chao Phraya river overflowed at high tide, but most of downtown Bangkok was still dry.

Many residents hunkered down in their homes, surrounded by sandbags or in some cases even hastily erected concrete block walls, after the government ordered a five-day holiday for 21 provinces including Bangkok from Thursday. "It's a crisis, because if we try to resist this massive amount of floodwater, a force of nature, we won't win," said a teary-eyed Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, facing a major test of her two-month-old leadership.

The Nation October 27, 2011 12:59 pm BANGKOK:  A Dutch expert on flooding, Adri Verwey, said yesterday the worst case scenario for Bangkok was that "extensive areas" of the capital could be submerged under more than one metre of water, if dykes are breached in many areas. Verwey, who was sent by the government of the Netherlands to assist the Thai government warned that Sukhumvit and other low-lying areas are especially prone - though it will take days for the water to reach inner Bangkok. "The levy is very important," he told The Nation and a small group of foreign journalists at Flood Relief Operation Centre (FROC) in Don Mueang airport which itself is now being visited by some flood water. Verway said this coming weekend would be "most crucial" with the expected strong tide. "I pity the Thai people," he said, adding that a lot of tasks will be awaiting the Kingdom in the recovery process. "You have this failure already. You can expect quite a few more."

The dilemma of a hydro dam control system

When the abnormally heavy rain started in mid July, the dams continued to retain water as per normal. No one could forecast 3 months ahead the heavy downpour would continue. By 2^nd Oct 2011, 11 of the country’s 26 major dams had contained more water than their official capacity while others were 82 to 99 percent full according to the Royal Irrigation Department. By August many of the Northern provinces had been flooded. To release even more water would have exacerbate an already disastrous situation. At that time many had already blamed their flood woes on the irrigation department for releasing too much water.

Now that the flood waters had flowed down to Bangkok’s flood canals, many residents were questioning whether the Royal Irrigation Department was too slow in reacting. But it was a “Damn if you do and Damn if you don’t” predicament.

The flood problem at Bangkok is worsened during the high tide periods when the discharge into the sea is impeded. Water that does not flow can cause a lot of damage to the canals and levees which were not designed to withstand high pressure. With nowhere to flow, the flood waters could take weeks to subside provided no new flood waters flow down the Chao Phraya.

So while the problem could have been solved and prevented months ago, it is human nature not to do so until it is too late. So will the rest of the world. Forget the global warming hoax and the punishing carbon tax solutions. They do not solve the world’s immediate environmental problems such as the one facing Thailand or any flood and drought prone countries right now.

When it rains, it pours

Hydro-dams can only control water when the water is still in the catchment area and not after the flood waters had reached the flood plains. Most typhoons, like Nesat and Nalgae dumped much of their rain load on the fluvial plains outside the control of hydro dams. Most existing drainage systems converge and drain into the main fluvial channels. This is like causing a massive traffic jam during peak flows and they all flow southwards towards Bangkok. With low elevation, there is not much gradient to speed up the water flow. Even if there is, the flood water will accumulate at the next flat zone. Our present surface drainage system is thus like a serial, linear system; never suitable to cater for peak flows during floods.

To solve our flooding woes, our fundamental concept of a converging system must radically change to a divergent distributed system (a complete reversal). In order to do that

1. there need to be alternative water outlets, not just the sea
2. any excess water above the optimum flow level of the main channels must be automatically removed so that the volume of water can never reach the danger level of flooding (tackling the problem at root level before it gets too massive to handle)
3. water in the alternative outlet can be stored for extraction during the dry period or channel out to areas in need of water.

Nature has already provided us with a ready made solution. All we need to do is to harness the enormous potential of our natural resources, hundreds to thousands of metres below us. Drill large deep wells into the highly fractured fault zones to act as vertical and inclined channels to the suitable porous rock formations for massive storage.  Each country will need to design their own distributed network of underground channels (a combination of connecting tunnels and suitable fault zones) to interconnect the aquifers and deeper formations based on their respective geological structures and stratigraphy.  

Some preliminary quantitative food for thoughts.

At 1m flood height over an area 1sq km, the volume of flood water is 1 million cu.metres.  A sandstone bed 10 m thick with 20% porosity over 1 sq km area, has the capacity to store an equivalent of 1 million cu.metres of water assuming 50% impermeability. In addition a highly permeable fault zone with just 30% porosity (100m wide x 1km length x 1 km depth) could store as much as 30 million cu.metres of water. As these regional fault zones run for miles into the interior of the continental mass, their storage and transport capacity is potentially enormous. Clearly suitable geologic conditions can be utilized as deep underground resource (water store) with the appropriate adaptations. See illustrations in figures #7001a to c.

If excess water is continually removed as soon as it rises above the optimum main channel level, there is no need to actively pump the water into the wells. There can be various contraptions to generate electricity as the water flows downwards under gravity. These wells can have triple purposes; drain excess water into the underground store, generate electricity and provide fresh water sources during droughts.

As contingency (in the event of an unforeseen accidental flood outside the main channels; depending on the setup) water from the flooded area can be pumped into the nearest series of wells. With 5 wells per sq km and a conservative discharge rate of 20,000 cu m /day/well, it would take 10 days to clear 1 million cu.metres of water by pumping the water into the wells. The discharge rate can be improved by various means such as increasing the diameter and depth of the wells. The money to be spent on building more irrigation canals and flood control dams (now proven to be ineffective), can be better spent on these vertical dual purpose deep wells. With faster construction periods (than dam construction) and the immediate availability of the natural geological resources, a system of vertical wells can be installed progressively to prevent the next catastrophic flooding. With the unpredictable climate change following the gulf’s mega oil spill disaster, the next flood in your neighborhood could be just around the corner.  Prevention is definitely better and less costly than cure. Those who had experienced the floods first hand and had suffered personal losses of loved ones & irreplaceable valuables, the aftermath clean-up of the disaster is as traumatic as the tragedies themselves.  

For the love of mankind, for the prevention of such mega disastrous tragedies and for the compassion of those who had suffered immense losses, let us all work together to prevent such massive destruction of lives and properties. It is in our interests to act together in unison. Remember corporate interests take over when you don’t.

Answers to the “Medivac Delay question” raise even more questions; posing serious doubts whether the grounding of the USS San Francisco could even occurred at Micronesia on 8 Jan 2005. Some details of the official-released eye-witnesses' accounts and time-line of events seem to better fit a submarine accident at the time of the 11am (Guam Time) mega quake, offshore Sumatra on 26 Dec 2004, than the accident at Micronesia.

First we examine the case for the purported accident at Micronesia. The official reasons given for the delayed medivac/rescue operation were

the crash location was too far (360 n_miles) and outside the 60S Knighthawk (return trip) 225 n mile range. The navy had to wait until the beleaguered submarine was within range to mount the heli medivac rescue.
