Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill Dead Zone: The Algae Biofuels and Carbon Exchange Agenda

[FastTadpole]

I feel kind of silly for not seeing this as it was right in front of me for son long but the pieces fit together oh so nicely for the disaster capitalists, the green tax pushers, the CCX agenda of the gaia and sun worshippers, the profiteer minions and misled new age hippies surrounding them. I was going to append this to the Exploiting Gulf Gusher to pass Cap-and-Trade won't Clean-up Oil Leak as topic they are integrally related and intertwined but this deserves it's own thread. Much credit to both the researchers involved in compiling this dot connector of an article. It make the undeniable conclusion what this Death Zone oil spill is all about. Why we are kept secret and reveal the agenda we couldn't quite put our finger on.

This was a challenge in terms of formatting. There were a lot of redirected links (some redundant) and I had to read through a lot of material (I like to read what I post) otherwise I would have posted it sooner.

The companies involved included in this compilation include:
Al Gore, George Soros, Barack Obama (Barry Sortero), USDA, the DoE ,Total S.A., Maurice Strong, NASA, Coskata, East Angila University, The IPCC, Nalco, ExxonMobil, Bill Clinton, OriginOil, Ford, Shell, Richard Branson, Valero, Honeywell, SAIC, Cargill, The Carlyle Group, Constellation Energy, US Sugar, Blackstone Group, Vanguard (Windsor II) Investment Group, The Everglades Foundation, Wall Street, Goldman Sachs, GE and, of course, BP.

Quote:Startling Reveletions. More going on in The Gulf Of Mexico Than An Oil Spill!
Sunday, June 20th 2010 at 8:39pm by JoAnneMor

~~~The team is at it again!~~~

In the course of our investigation into the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, we have uncovered some startling information.

What I am about to tell you will knock you out of your seats.

There is a lot more going on in the Gulf of Mexico than the oils spill.

This administration and many other entities like BP, Citi, Nalco, GM, GE, Goldman Sachs, University of Chicago, holding companies along with Dept of Defense, Billionaires and Politicians are all vested in biofuels.

What is going on in the Gulf is directly related to this new industry.

There is an Algae these companies are interested in.

From the mouth of the Mississippi river, all along the Gulf coast and spreading down to the Everglades is prime area for growing this Algae. Crist is aware of this. He's funding it.There is a couple of other prime spots too. Chesapeake is one area and the Great Lakes is another. (Funny, we already had a Great Lakes Czar and a Chesapeake Czar.) (Now we have a Gulf Czar too!)

As you know, the oil continues to flow in the Gulf.

It looks incompetent when assessing the response to the crisis. It is not incompetence. It is intentional and willfull destruction.

They are spraying dispersants that are toxic to sea life. The dispersants hold the oil below the surface. Ask yourselves why you would want that. Wouldn't it be easier to vacuum the oil if it were floating?

They are not letting foreign tankers in to help. Even the few barges Jindal got his hands on were stalled, citing they need to be inspected to see if they carried enough life vests. They did.

They even pass the buck as to who is in charge. BP says they were in charge. O says he's in charge. The Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen says he's in charge. They run us in circles to divert the real questions.

If you have noticed, most of their news conferences have very little to do with action response, instead focusing on claims processing.

This is not incompetence. It is an intentional strategy. They don't want to clean it up or even try to contain it.

What they are doing is in three steps.

First get rid of oil industry in Gulf.

Then turn Gulf into a dead zone. A dead zone is free of life or ability to sustain it. The oil, dispersants and fertilizers deplete oxygen. It kills animals and fish, also turning their remains into fertilizer.

Finally, use Gulf as a giant Algae farm. Algae grows on water surface, getting oxygen from air, not water. Fertilizers like Urea supply much needed nitrogen. The Mississippi and the other rivers that empty into Gulf also pick up fertilizers from the many farms along the way. This feeds the Algae at the mouths of these rivers.

The oil in the water won't hurt the Algae. It will only promote it's growth and burn factor.

Algae costs about $2. a Barrel to refine. This is potentially very profitable.

The down side is , there isn't enough Algae to sustain the demand. It takes a lot of Algae to produce a single barrel. That means they need a huge place to grow and multiply the supply of this Algae. Right now they don't have this enormous Algae farm location. They have the desire, the technology, the investments and companies all set up.They have even taken the steps to map out the plan.

That plan involves projects in the Great Lakes., Chesapeake Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.

This oil spill whether sabotage, negligence, accident or design is the perfect way to eliminate fossil fuels such as oil and to advance his biofuel agenda..

They will sacrifice the Gulf and all who live in or around it for this multi Trillion Dollar industry.

This also ties in with Carbon capture and exchange. You all know about the Chicago Carbon Exchange, Cap & Trade and even O's support of Kyoto, so I won't bore you with history.

For those who don't know details on those Bills and international climate agreements, please refer to back posts of mine, or those of others who have researched and posted.

There is a proposal to store Carbon that has been captured by industries, in the Gulf. The Carbon will enhance the Algae growth while making a fortune for companies like O's Chicago Carbon Exchange.

All the usual players as well as a few new ones are involved. There is everything from lies deceit, government stealth,to insider trading and intentional destruction going on.

My friend and research teammate has compiled a short summary. Please read this, then I will pick it up from there.

Step by Step Chicago to the Gulf of Mexico
The lawsuit lists potential damage claims of about $2.5 billion to the Gulf fishing industry; $3 billion to tourism; $700 million in remediation efforts so far; $6 million a day in continuing costs and "incalculable damages to BP's reputation."


We have all heard it said, carbon is a bad thing for our environment. Where did all begin? Junk Science, Al Gore, Maurice Strong, Barack Obama, Joel Rogers, Van Jones. Bill Clinton, John Podesta, Vivek Kundra, Carl Pope, need we go on?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Climate_Exchange

http://www.carbonoffsetsdaily.com/news-c...y-5581.htm

So what is the motivation of eliminating Carbon? MONEY!! Consider for a moment how wealthy these people and countless others are getting by promoting this carbon offset science and forcing alternative biomass science and technology. Frankly, determining the wealth of these people is an angry task. Yet, how do these people profit from this forced change from oil to bio-fuels? Stimulus money, see 'Bombshell Expose', insider trading, government legislation, corporate shakedowns.

Let's examine some events and people:

Okay lets chat a moment about what happened. What the well explosion due to human error, was it on purpose by a human, was it the work of military for hire groups like Xe, Blackwater, DynCorp or Triple Canopy? We will never really know. Since SAIC has full control, they know the answer, but in the end, does it matter? The well exploded. Now the question is why? Destroy big oil and American business and jobs. What will takes it place? Ah hah, glad you asked, algae. Who is behind this? Crime, Inc. which by the way is much bigger than Beck is able to report and for that matter than we can report, but we are gonna try.

British Petroleum, one of the world's largest oil producers. BP has had the most safety violations but why is that?

Enter MMS, Minerals Management Service.
MMS is an Agency of the Department of the Interior. MMS gave many waivers to BP for this DeepWater Horizon rig, not to mention a safety award.
http://www.mms.gov/

Why did MMS give waivers to BP?
http://www.allbusiness.com/company-activ...318-1.html

Enter SAIC.
http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_Applications_International_Corporation

Ok, who was head of SAIC while this agenda was being drafted and put into action? Robert Gates, you know they guy that is now the Secretary of Defense. But what qualifies Gates for this job? Hummm, good question. but why is he really on the payroll? Gates has a resume that includes: Head of SAIC,Council of Foreign Relations and he served of the Board of Parker Drilling, an American offshore rig owner with HQ in Houston. Now Parker Drilling has 75 international land rigs, 15 deep gas land rigs, 34 barge rigs, 7 platform rigs, 7 offshore jack-up rigs. Parker is also a specialist in deep well, arctic and geo-thermal drilling. Gates too was the Deputy director of the CIA.

Who are members of SAIC?
http://www.saic.com/about/companies/

Is there corruption at SAIC?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/con...03415.html Thanks for asking!

Here are some other attached facts:
* MMS gave a $5.5 million contract to SAIC to conduct a 5 year study of the Gulf Loop Current.
* SAIC awarded a $21.0 million blanket purchase agreement for Biomass Engineering coming from the Department of Energy and Golden Field Office. This was done to support the Office of Energy, Efficiency and Renewable Energies Biomass program.
* SAIC handles all technology for BP and that includes security logs and surveillance data. Ever wonder about video via closed circuit on offshore rigs?
* SAIC has had contracts with BP going back as far as 2002 to include a $750 million contract for Global IT services. SAIC is an employee owned company with $6.1 Billion in revenue and has offices in 150 cities around the globe. The revenue comes from
* National Security
* Homeland Defense
* Energy
* Environment
* Telecommunications
* Healthcare
* Transportation
So if not oil then what do we put into our gas tanks? Algae!!

Even more Federal action on this. Obama has awarded $80.0 in research grants for algae and bio-mass fuels. The Pentagon has mandated that the Air Force be 50/50 in use of fossil fuels and bio-fuel by 2012.

If Cap and Trade or any new name they attached to this 'junk' legislation and life altering bill does not pass, understand, it really doesn't matter except it would be cheaper for taxpayers in the end to pass this bill. What??? You Ask? Well, understand, Obama is having to look like a fool spending TARP and Stimulus money to back-door the bio-fuel, algae, urea agenda. He would look better if he did not have to spend this money but rather force Cap and Trade to generate tax revenue. Either way, taxpayers and just violated and scammed in the end.

Contract With BP Has Clause To Limit Anadarko Liability-Source
By Isabel Ordonez, Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

HOUSTON -(Dow Jones)- BP PLC's (BP) contract to operate the leaking Macondo well contains a clause that could limit the liability of minority partner Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (APC), a person familiar with the agreement said.The contract, the person said, is similar to others used in offshore drilling in which the operator assumes the cost of mistakes in case of gross negligence, the person said.Anadarko, which owns 25% of the well, has seen its shares hit hard in recent weeks as investors brace for the possibility that the Houston-based company could be on the hook for a proportional share of the costs resulting from the leak--an amount that could reach tens of billions of dollars. The confirmation that the joint operating agreement with BP contains a gross negligence clause could substantially reduce the company's potential liability andthatoffellow minority partner Mitsui & Co. Ltd. (8031.TO).BP could be liable for 100% of damages if gross negligence is proven, said Jacqueline Weaver, who teaches energy law at the University of Houston Law Center. U.S. lawmakers said this week that BP made decisions that increased the risk of a blow-out at the well to save the company time or expense. BP didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.The uncertainty about Anadarko's liability underscores the unprecedented nature of the crisis that began in April, when a Transocean Ltd. (RIG) drilling for BP in the U.S. Gulf exploded and sank, unleashing the largest offshore spill the country has ever seen. BP so far has spent more than $1.6 billion dollars in cleaning up the spill, and its ultimate liability could be much higher. On Wednesday, the company agreed to establish a $20 billion escrow account to pay for damages.

Anadarko said Wednesday it had been invoiced by BP for its share of clean-up costs, although it didn't disclose the amount.Analysts with investment bank UBS estimate that the total cost of the operation could reach between $20 billion and $50 billion, a figure based on what Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) paid for the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill. But the analysts said that if Anadarko ends up paying a quarter of that cost, it could survive.

If Anadarko's liability comes in at the low end of the range, or $5 billion, the company could "easily" afford it, UBS analyst William Featherston said. Anadarko currently has $3.7 billion in cash and an unused credit capacity of $ 1.3 billion. Additionally, it has assets that are not producing cash in the onshore U.S. and offshore Africa with an estimated value of $14 billion.If the price tag is larger than that, Anadarko would have to issue equity and sell a large percentage of its international and U.S. Gulf of Mexico nonproducing discoveries. But even if it had to pay $12.5 billion, the company will be able to bear the financial burden, Featherston said.

Investors have been bracing for a worse outcome than what analysts have imagined. Anadarko's shares have tumbled 40% since April 20, the day the rig exploded. The decline sharpened last week--Anadarko was down 19% on Wednesday alone--in a move that Barclays Capital analysts said was "disproportionate" to the highest amount of money Anadarko could be liable for. The stock was trading Wednesday afternoon at $42.70, down 4.5% from the previous session. BP has said it won't be limited by the $75 million cap on oil spill economic damages established under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and that it won't seek reimbursement from a federal trust fund. But Anadarko has refrained from openly joining BP in that stance: Spokesman John Christiansen said in an emailed statement that the company will do what is "right" and that questions regarding itsliabilitywillbe answered "at the appropriate time."

Now lets visit some of Obama's Czars:

Ok what else?

DARPA: Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency They testing for production of refined algae into jet fuel. DARPA expects to produce 50 million gallons by 2011. So who tells and pays DARPA? Yep you guessed it, SAIC and General Atomics.

Lets go back to the Gulf of Mexico. MMS is responsible for the offshore drilling leases in ALL Federal waters. Under that 2009 contract to SAIC to study the loop current, it seems knowledge is only good to 3000'. Beyond 3000' there are highly significant larger stresses put on drilling platforms, anchoring systems and risers. Below 10,000' the pipe must be flexible because of variations in the strength and direction of the currents and the pipes are quite likely to break. Because engineers topside cannot see or predict currents but they often feel them, they must shut down the rigs until conditions become safer. Technology yet has not reached the depths and associated currents to measure the whole risk. Currently, all conditions are measured by SAIC through satellite remote sensing but only to 3000'.

Now lets look at Bill Clinton and the Clinton Global Initiative: http://www51.honeywell.com/sustainable-o...ments.html Also check this link: http://cleantech.com/news/4010/US-milita...e-jet-fuel Let us NOT forget, this is all capitalism at it's best when it comes to corporations providing goods and services and jobs especially to the Federal govt. @spongedocks

BP Ponies Up $10M For Algae Biofuels

BP is ponying up $10 million for a partnership with Martek Biosciences to study the use of algae to convert sugar into biodiesel. BP isn’t the only oil major — or government agency — to show an interest in the prospect of commercially viable algal-based fuels. Just last month ExxonMobil committed $600 million in a partnership with Synthetic Genomics to develop next-generation biofuels from algae.

The investment numbers are small compared to the oil giant’s overall capital expenditure budget. BP invested $1.4 billion in alternative energy in 2008

Entrepreneurs Wade Into the 'Dead Zone'
Ambitious Bid to Turn Algae Into Biofuel Taps Mother Nature

Every spring, fertilizer runoff from the U.S. Mississippi River floods into the Gulf of Mexico, causing a massive algae bloom that leads to a giant oxygen-deprived "dead zone" where fish can't survive.

Now, this annual problem is getting new attention, not from marine scientists but from entrepreneurs looking for a new domestic source of fuel. And one start-up sees fish themselves being part of the process.

The algae blooms are spawned each year as the farmland runoff from as far away as Montana flows into rivers, eventually reaching the Mississippi and flowing into Louisiana bayous and out into the Gulf of Mexico. These nutrients are a buffet for the floating algae, or phytoplankton, which are simple sea organisms that eat and reproduce quickly. This algae bloom eventually sinks and feeds an array for bacteria, which suck up so much oxygen that fish and plants either move away or perish.

These so-called hypoxic areas exist around the world, and there were as many as 200 in North America in the spring, says Robert J. Diaz, a professor of marine science at the College of William & Mary in Virginia. The Gulf of Mexico dead zone is the second largest in the world, after one in the Baltic Sea.

A Breakthrough Technology to Transform Algae into Oil
Executive Summary

OriginOil, Inc. is a public company trading on the NASDAQ Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board

(OTCBB) market under the symbol "OOIL.”

Overview OriginOil, Inc. is developing a breakthrough technology that will transform algae, the most promising source of renewable oil, into a true competitor to petroleum.

A perfect storm has brought algae to the forefront in the biofuel arena.

A host of factors, including rising oil prices, global warming, and the rapid industrialization of China and India, have greatly increased the demand for a renewable alternative to petroleum.

Worldwide investment in biofuels rose from $5 billion in 1995 to $38 billion in 2005 and is expected to top $100 billion by 2010, thanks to investors like Richard Branson and George Soros, GE and BP, Ford and Shell, Cargill and the Carlyle Group. Renewable fuels have indeed become a rallying cry for the green movement.

Obama to make $85 million from BP disaster

From adamdodson;

“Goldman Sachs wasn’t alone either in its astute “foreknowledge” of the collapse of BP’s stock value due to the Gulf disaster as BP’s own chief executive, Tony Hayward, sold about one-third of his shares weeks before this catastrophe began unfolding too.

But according to this FSB report the largest seller of BP stock in the weeks before this disaster occurred was the American investment company known as Vanguard who through two of their financial arms (Vanguard Windsor II Investor and Vanguard Windsor Investor) unloaded over 1.5 million shares of BP stock saving their investors hundreds of millions of dollars, chief among them President Obama.

For though little known by the American people, their President Obama holds all of his wealth in just two Vanguard funds, Vanguard 500 Index Fund where he has 3 accounts and the Vanguard FTSE Social Index Fund where he holds another 3 accounts, all six of which the FSB estimates will earn Obama $85 million.

Obama to make $85 million from BP disaster?

“Goldman Sachs wasn’t alone either in its astute “foreknowledge” of the collapse of BP’s stock value due to the Gulf disaster as BP’s own chief executive, Tony Hayward, sold about one-third of his shares weeks before this catastrophe began unfolding too.

But according to this FSB report the largest seller of BP stock in the weeks before this disaster occurred was the American investment company known as Vanguard who through two of their financial arms (Vanguard Windsor II Investor and Vanguard Windsor Investor) unloaded over 1.5 million shares of BP stock saving their investors hundreds of millions of dollars, chief among them President Obama.

For though little known by the American people, their President Obama holds all of his wealth in just two Vanguard funds, Vanguard 500 Index Fund where he has 3 accounts and the Vanguard FTSE Social Index Fund where he holds another 3 accounts, all six of which the FSB estimates will earn Obama nearly $8.5 million a year and which over 10 years will equal the staggering sum of $85 million.

The FSB further estimates in this report that through Obama’s 3 accounts in the Vanguard 500 Index Fund he stands to make another $100 million over the next 10 years as their largest stock holding is in the energy giant Exxon Mobil they believe will eventually acquire BP and all of their assets for what will be essentially a “rock bottom” price and which very predictably BP has hired Goldman Sachs to advise them on.

Important to note is that none of this wealth Obama, Goldman Sachs, and other American elites is acquiring would be possible without this disaster, all of whom, as the evidence shows, “somehow” knew what was going to happen before it actually did, including the US energy giant Halliburton who 2 weeks prior to this disaster just happened to purchase the World’s largest oil disaster service company Boots & Coots”.

There is a lot more to this story, but I hope we have given you enough information to realize this oil situation and lack of response is not incompetence. Quite the contrary.

The oil and damnage will continue until Congress caves and passes C&T, O seizes control of all neergy and his agenda advances.

Taking out the south is a bonus. It won't hurt the Algae or the trillions in Carbon and global warming scams.

As a post note, they may have bore into a volcanic shelf. That's another story begging to be told.

If that is true, this situation is far worse than imaginable.

Still researching that angle. Stay tuned!

Say, FastTadpole, this is a very interesting find. It all sounds quite plausible. Not sure if her synopsis is true, or just a figment of her imagination. I mean the links certainly go to quite a few places.

Time will tell.

[Melchor]

Interesting. Whether this is what's actually at play, could be. It could be. However, I'm going to nitpick a little bit on the manner by which hypoxic zones form.

(06-22-2010 02:10 PM)FastTadpole Wrote:  A dead zone is free of life or ability to sustain it. The oil, dispersants and fertilizers deplete oxygen. It kills animals and fish, also turning their remains into fertilizer.

Finally, use Gulf as a giant Algae farm. Algae grows on water surface, getting oxygen from air, not water. Fertilizers like Urea supply much needed nitrogen. The Mississippi and the other rivers that empty into Gulf also pick up fertilizers from the many farms along the way. This feeds the Algae at the mouths of these rivers.

Hypoxic zones are caused not directly by the nitrogen and phosphorus based fertilizers. What actually happens is the fertilizers feed the algae which causes larger blooms. The algae in turn pulls the oxygen from the water which forces mobile sea life out of the area and kills non-mobile sea life.

Quote:Big oil eyes algae to solve biofuel problems
EurActiv.com, 29 July 2009 - Oil giants such as Shell and ExxonMobil are pouring millions of research funding into algae in the hope that the technology can solve environmental problems associated with intensive crop cultivation for biofuels. Raffaello Garofalo, executive director of the European Algae Biomass Association (EABA), outlines the potential and challenges of algae in an interview with EurActiv.

With ethanol and biodiesel coming under fire for driving up food prices and putting biodiversity at risk, the EU has committed to 'second-generation' biofuels as a cleaner alternative.

Algae grows best in seawater, which comes in virtually unlimited supply, the Italian points out. And the micro-organism seems to be particularly fond of polluted seawater, which helps it grow at exponential rates.

"In all polluted sea places, there is a phenomenon which happens naturally called eutrophication, which means there is an over-growth of algae," says Garofalo. "Precisely because pollution brings excess nutrients to the algae and therefore they grow exponentially."

The idea, he says, is to feed the polluted water to the algae via transparent plastic tubes, using what industry specialists call a bio-reactor. The algae absorb the pollution as a nutrient, and the water can then be returned back to the ocean cleaner than it was when it entered, he explains. In the meantime, the algae grow into biomass, which can be used for biofuels.

US oil major ExxonMobil recently launched a $600 million research programme in cooperation with Synthetic Genomics, Inc. (SGI) to develop, test and produce biofuels from photosynthetic algae. "While significant work and years of research and development still must be completed, if successful, algae-based fuels could help meet the world's growing demand for transportation fuel while reducing greenhouse gas emissions," said Michael Dolan, senior vice-president of ExxonMobil.

Shell launched its own research project in December 2007 to study the commercial viability of selected algae strains at a Hawaii-based facility. "Algae have great potential as a sustainable feedstock for producing diesel-type fuels with a very small CO2 footprint," said Graeme Sweeney, Shell's executive vice-president for future fuels and CO2. "This demonstration will be an important test of the technology and, critically, of commercial viability."

The European Algae Biomass Association (EABA)is leading this charge in lobbying the EU.

Concerning documents. I've found a lot of WBCSD, UNEP, IETA and SEFI documents that point towards a large push to biofuels. Algae is not singled out as a source but biofuels is a blanket term. Wind and solar are also promoted. Select companies would be granted UN / World Bank / IMF Issued Carbon Bonds. Governments are being encouraged to give grants, tax breaks and subsidy. IETA suggests that the public part of liabilities would be backed by $12T of pension funds, government loans (the collatoral is our and our kids future labour), public taxation, donations and fees and levies on Carbon dioxide as high as . Bottom line, the public is funding these select private companies one way or another.

Triodos Bank

Using all these companies / banks to fund this will cloak involvement but at the top are multi-nationals in finance and banking.

The way they are going to try to get full support for this funding is through the cleanup of the Gulf with algae with their partners and subsidiaries getting funding through you and me.

I would have done Exxon too but I am not a machine. Maybe later or someone else can do that one (let me know if you do to mitigate redundancy).

Quote:RSB Governance

The Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels is governed by a Steering Board made up of representatives from the seven stakeholder chambers. To ensure equal representation, most chambers are required to elect one of their representatives on the Steering Board from a country in the global North (developed) and one from a country in the global South (developing). The Steering Board is intended to represent the range of different stakeholders involved in sustainable biofuels producion and processing. Steering Board members serve in a personal capacity, and do not represent their company or sector as a whole

   

The RSB convenes Expert Groups made up of RSB members and outside experts to study certain issues (e.g. GHG accounting, indirect impacts, implementation, etc...). Expert Groups remain active until the specific issue has been aequately addressed, at which point they are deactivated.

[h3rm35]

fuck them in their ear.

they can't hear us anyway.

[FastTadpole]

This isn't for them. It's for everyone that would be supporting the companies / governments / NGOs that are going to come up with the solution for the Gulf pollution and anywhere other dead zones. Great Lakes? Chesapeake Bay? Obama's already got tsars for them. Their hatred is focused and they are going to want a solution and they have their solution from this allegedly manufactured event. They'll be praising the cheap biodesil and the great job this government did while they are paying out of their ass for taxes and to cover the subsidies we are forced to pay.

I assume people circulate knowledge, will talk about the motives and effects. I just want to connect the dots so people to get the motive right on this one, referencing real documents from all involved. It's a collusive control net that will effect everyone. Once more people realize that they should be driven to live a life of self determinate destiny instead of being led by these corrupt forces who seek to control us.

We cannot demand it from them like children, "they can't hear us anyway". We need to grow up and create it for us.

I agree it was no accident atall and from reading these excellent pieces of information posted by

That will come sooner or later. The levies for the are crumbling so they'll propose growing algae in what used to be the lifeblood for California agriculture, a sacrifice to usher in the for the green economy.

Good luck on your front brotha.

Great research but I am not convinced that this is the cohesed "reason" behind the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig incident.

[FastTadpole]

Not so much the "reason" but it identifies an aspect of the motive behind it beyond the carbon tax and wealth transfer (actually it augments it) being drummed up in the media, the use of corexit (beyond profit); and connects a lot of the players with the manufactured science, lobbying, think tanks, corporations (oil, banking, energy, technology ..) environmental groups and government cronyism.

They own the courts so that avenue is not really an option, although it should be played. The media has already been told to back off so it isn't likely to get coverage and if it does it will be sound bites to argue their case, not ours. The web is already ready for the 100% censorship. I would agree with FastTadpole, people will hail the "success" of these people while bending over and spelling RUN.

[hilly7]

Again, excellent finds, thanks.

The only things that are a mystery to me that I wonder if TPTB have overlooked:
1- Ocean filters more air and creates more O2 than any system on earth.

2- No life can exist when the ocean is dead. Plankton I am assuming can't survive in it.

3- Benzene is the most deadliest chemical out there... derived from oil.

4 - This oil has far more Methane than "surface" oil (so to speak). This same gas is thought to create "dead zones" in the Bermuda Triangle. This bubble, as I hear it, is growing and will rupture.

The average sea level Florida is 100 ft (as a whole). Years ago I heard the lowest is 6 ft below but that may be taken in account the marshes. When this Methane bubble ruptures it will devastate Florida. Some predict it will go from one side to the other, yet I can no longer find the data I read on that. Florida has really only 1 main road out, I-95, I-10 leads to another point of the Tsunami that will be created from the rupture. Here is a link though http://www.associatedcontent.com/article...html?cat=7

This one doesn't mention Florida but other states http://cdiver.net/news/gulf-oil-gusher-danger-of-tsunamis-from-methane/

If they can bring in Cap & Trade they will own All rights to All water, even ones like me where we have 4 ponds and some creeks making it illegal for us to use the water. Already they do not like cattle wading or drinking from creeks and ponds and if the water is a state creek or river you are not allowed to have cattle or use it in any way, at least here in Tn. They can then effectively control who grows the meat and what they are fed, GMO, Growth Hormones, & Steroids. Personally I made or commissioned the ponds to be made and I will cover mine up.
