Dave Hodges, Commonsense Show - Connecting the dots of Bayou Corne with BP oil leak. Methane traveling - "Louisiana Coast to be evacuated?"

I have continually written about Bayou Corne and the situation there.  Yesterday I had the videos up and the recent seismo graphs showing all the EQs going on.

Dave Hodges of the Commonsense radio show on Republic broadcasting,  now has a website for his show.  He is a friend of mine and I have been on his radio show a couple of times about the foreclosure fraud.  

He wrote a hard hitting piece about Bayou Corne and the sinkhole there.  He connected the dots to what has been going on  in the Gulf of Mexico and the BP oil leak.  He puts the corexit, methane and sinkholes together.  

Remember Jesse Ventura's Truth show about the billions that has been set aside to evacuate the Gulf Coast regions.  The full episode is here on youtube. 

He has given me permission to reproduce his article in full on this site about what he sees is happening. 

His article "Are Louisiana's Coastal Areas going to be evacuated?"

Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable.” 

George Orwell

The  conditions in the Gulf Coast region are so bad, that some are actually talking about a mass evacuation of the coastal regions in Louisiana. Others think the potential devastation is so dangerous that the entire Gulf Coast region should be evacuated. Others think that all is well in the Gulf. What exactly is the truth?

I have been investigating the events surrounding the Gulf Coast oil explosion for over two years. As I sit here mulling over the evidence which is derived from the full spectrum of research protocols ranging from anecdotal evidence to scientific evidence to government acknowledgment of a series of crises which appears to be imperiling Louisiana, I do not pretend that I have all the answers. However, after systematically reviewing the available evidence, I am extremely fearful for the potential consequences which could be catastrophic for many of the 40 million residents in the Gulf.

This topic has largely been swept under the covers by the Obama administration and the mainstream media, with a few exceptions. In this article, it is my intention to bring forth legitimate concerns for public discussion with regard to the safety and welfare of Gulf Coast residents, especially for those people living in Louisiana’s coastal areas.

All Is Well, Go Back To Sleep

The government would have us believe that all is well in the Gulf. In fact, two years ago, the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) through its air monitoring system, on June 10, 2010, presumably found air quality levels which were “normal” on the Gulf coastline. Of course this is the same EPA whose former director, Todd Christy, boldly stated that the post 911 air was fit to breathe. Also, in June 2010, Obama’s personal point man on the spill, Thad Allen, stated “the well no longer posed any threat to the Gulf” and subsequent cleanup crews ceased all remaining operations with regard to cleaning up the destroyed oil well. Thad Allen’s statement followed Obama’s declaration in which the President boldly proclaimed that the Gulf is safe and “open for business”. Officials from both the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the EPA echoed Obama’s safety claims. And what I have discovered from the data, is that everyone of these government individuals, who are entrusted with ensuring the safety of the general public, was lying through their teeth.

 There were strong and early indications that the use of Corexit, combined with the leaking oil, were producing, both long term and short term, catastrophic environmental and individual health effects. Oil and Corexit, used to “disperse” the oil spill have impacted untold numbers of Gulf residents’ health. Additionally, both the food supply and the food chain are being adversely impacted. The air and the subsequent evapotranspiration cycle has been irreversibly altered which, in turn, impacts the water table and the safety of water supplies as well as the safety of crops. The most devastating finding relates the events of the oil spill to the phenomena of the ever-widening Louisiana sinkholes and the related underground explosions as well as the very high concentration of toxic and highly flammable methane in the air and in the water.  

One of the major threats to the Gulf Coast comes from an imperiled food supply which is the result from the explosion on the Deep Water Horizon oil rig.

The Tainted Food Supply

It was known very early on that the Gulf Coast food supply was severely compromised and the health of the residents was in jeopardy, despite government denials and mainstream media cover-ups. A case in point, while dining with his family at Vinnie’s Raw Bar Restaurant in the Charlotte, North Carolina area, Matthew Robertson found oil in his seafood. While covering the story, WBTV reporter Sarah Batista also acknowledged there was a black substance stuck to the inside of Robertson’s sea food. Additionally, Channel 8, Fox News, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, was told by Vinnie’s Raw Bar restaurant’s manager that he did, indeed, confirm the customer’s story and says he’s had problems getting oyster shipments because of contamination resulting from the oil spill, unfortunately, this station saw fit to scrub the report from its website. However, similar warnings regarding the region’s food safety are appearing up and down the local Gulf Coast media on such stations as WLOX TV in Gulfport, MS. Yet, Fox, CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, etc., have not run one credible story on the dangers of food toxicity in the Gulf’s food chain. Granted, the abovementioned cases represent just a few anecdotal cases which are representative of tens of thousands of accounts. However, anecdotal evidence is not science and these cases could be discounted as the exception and not the rule. Yet, the largely ignored voices of scientists echo these anecdotal claims and they do so with hard, verifiable data.

The Quiet Voices of Science Assess Gulf Food Safety

Scientists at The University of Southern Mississippi and Tulane University have found oil in the post-larvae of blue crabs entering coastal marshes along the Gulf Coast signaling that oil may be entering estuarine food chains. Dr. Perry observed that “I have never seen anything like this.” Larvae is at the bottom of the food chain. Lesser life forms, are consumed by life forms which are higher on the food chain and the toxic effects of the Corexit will bioaccumulate throughout the food chain. This conclusion echoed the findings of lab samples taken by scientists at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab shows oil from the Deepwater Horizon disaster has made its way into the Gulf food chain as well. These particular scientists have found signs of an oil-and-dispersant mix under the shells of tiny blue crab larvae in the Gulf of Mexico which is a clear indication that the unprecedented use of dispersants in the BP oil spill has broken up the oil into toxic droplets so tiny that they have easily entered the food chain. These studies and other similar studies remain unchallenged by the authorities with regard to methodology and results. In short, the Obama administration is choosing to ignore these credible scientists by simply repeating the mantra that “all is well” in the Gulf of Mexico.

Potential Effects on Life Span in the Gulf

Kim Anderson’s Oregon State University (OSU) researchers, from the OSU College of Agricultural Sciences, began a test-retest comparative analysis for the carcinogenic contaminant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and its biodegradable partner, OPAHs, which appears after the application of Corexit and subsequent exposure to ultraviolet rays. Stunningly, the OSU researchers found a 40 fold increase in these carcinogenic compounds in the comparative test-retest period. The OSU findings replicate the conclusions of Mace Barron et al regarding the toxicity of Corexit and its use in the Exxon Valdez oil spill. The Exxon Valdez oil spill and subsequent clean-up activities provides the only case study in the history of the United States involving significant exposure to the types of toxins discussed in this article as the result of an oil spill. Interestingly, Anderson’s Oregon State University’s original data went missing forcing the research team to begin again. It is clear that somebody did not want this data to reach the public.

 Findings, related to the longevity of the Exxon Valdez clean-up workers, are very disturbing as the collective lifespan statistics, for the Corexit exposed cleanup crews, revealed that the average life expectancy is a mere 51 years of age and nearly all of the Exxon Valdez clean-up workers are dead. These findings can leave little doubt that BP’s use of Corexit has seriously compromised the collective life span of Gulf Coast residents. I can draw no other conclusion than to state that the events in the Gulf, to date, constitute a slow-burn genocidal event in which, depending on the age at first  exposure to the Corexit, the oil and the resulting methane concentrations, will see life spans in the impacted areas decline by as much as 25-50% with regard to longevity based upon the life-span figures from the Exxon Valdez clean-up workers. I believe that based upon the data, it is reasonable to assume that within one short generation, the life expectancy of the Gulf will rival the worst of the third world.

An Environmental Armageddon in the Making

In addition to imperiling the food supply, the Gulf disaster is overwhelming the environment and threatens to bring disaster to the southeastern portion of the United States on an unprecedented scale. The holocaust in the Gulf has grown to such proportions that the European Union Times reports that an extremely grave report was prepared for President Medvedev by Russia’s Ministry of Natural Resources in which the report warns that the BP spill will become the worst environmental catastrophe in all of human history and will bring total destruction to the Eastern half of the North American continent. The environmental damage has spread as far north as Memphis as local residents report toxic rainfall, containing Corexit, is falling on and damaging local farmers crops. This report aired over two years ago and was among the first indicators that the evapotranspiration will cycle was being impacted by the Deepwater Horizon explosion and the subsequent use of Corexit to “disperse” the spilled oil.

The oil emanating from the seafloor contains about 40% methane, compared with about 5% found in typical oil deposits, said John Kessler, a Texas A&M University oceanographer who is studying the impact of methane from the spill. Kessler et al, in June of 2010, warned the public that methane was not going to dissipate on its own and that it would continue to increase and come ashore with unpredictable results. Merchant Marine expert, Captain Kelly Sweeney, while appearing on The Common Sense Show, on July 10, 2010, made similar predictions in which he stated that he and many of his sources feared catastrophic methane explosions near several coastal cities which could be triggered by the right atmospheric conditions combined with the high levels of highly flammable methane (click here to listen to Hour 1).

Unfortunately, nobody predicted the scenario which is unfolding across several Louisiana communities in which high concentrations of methane laden oil has made its way into the salt domes and into the water table constituting a significant threat millions of Gulf Coast residents.

John Boudreaux, director of the Assumption (LA.) Parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness has said there are concerns that the gas can build pressure under the clay layer that lies above their local aquifer. According to Boudreaux and geologists, once the aquifer reaches a pressure greater than 75 to 85 pounds per square inch, the clay layer might not hold back the accumulated gas and a set of major explosions could occur. Recently, something unexpectedly triggered an emergency flare 40 feet high at that Crosstex well last week. An explosion of this magnitude would be within the range of one and a half B83 thermonuclear (hydrogen) bombs, according to scientists. On 9/11 of this year, Louisiana officials suddenly and without comment banned outdoor fires. Ray Charles could see these dots connecting on the wall.

In July 2010, BP found a mega pocket of highly pressurized methane gas in the Gulf of Mexico. The EPA and the President chose to ignore the publicized findings. Nobody in the mainstream media bothered to speculate as to the potential dangers. Publicly, the federal government did not answer the obvious questions, namely, where are the concentrations of the mega pocket of highly pressurized methane gas likely to migrate to and what would be the ultimate effect? It has been 27 months since this discovery, and the public is expected to believe that BP and the government had no idea of the ramifications of the discovery of this magnitude. This flies in the face of believability!

As Gulf Coast investigator, Dr. Wilma Subra stated, that the oil/Corexit is in “…the air, the water table, the sea floor sediment,  the shallow surface of the beach, it is in the estuaries,… it is in the water column at 3,000-4,000 foot depth, the prevailing winds bring in the oil/Corexit to the shores and the substances are deposited inland. ..The environmental impact will last for generations.” The people of Bayou Corne, as well as at least 28 other Louisiana communities near the coast, are finding out how accurate Dr. Suber’s observations, offered in February of 2011, truly were.

The massive sinkhole and enormous amount of escaping methane gas from the Bayou Corne disaster area is particularly concerning. Local officials have made repeated references to, “powerful underground forces”, which are causing the monster sinkhole in the swampland, which subsequently bent a gas pipeline  which then formed a shocking right angle in a 400-foot section next to the bubbling hole. Ultimately, this led to the evacuation of 150 homes, temporarily shutting down a four-mile stretch of nearby Highway 70, and led to a heated discussion regarding the likelihood of a methane-bubble tsunami from the 2010 Gulf of Mexico BP explosion. Government officials warned the Parish President that the Bayou Corne sinkhole has extremely high levels of methane in the nearby water wells. Subsequently, officials have warned the local leadership that these high levels of methane pose serious risks to health, fire and could even lead to large explosions. Officials have further warned that local residents needed to obey coming mandatory evacuation orders. However, the mass evacuation expected to occur last week, has unexplainably not been acted upon.

After looking at the government’s own data and examining the totality of government’s actions, I have concluded that the government is acting with extreme depraved indifference with regard to the citizen’s health near the 28 sinkholes. Let me be crystal clear about one point, methane kills and it can kill silently if exposure occurs in sufficient quantities. Even if the people in Louisiana, near the 28 reported sinkholes, were to, by the grace of God, able to somehow escape lethal exposure, methane in smaller doses can still mimic other health conditions and can fool a general medical practitioner but the conditions could still lead to a person’s demise. The latter fact related to methane exposure mimicking other health conditions works to the government’s and BP’s benefit because it temporarily provides them with plausible deniability. We have witnessed this same strategy as the BP health mobile health clinics, designed to treat local victims of the spill and exposure to Corexit, were purposely misdiagnosing clear cases of Corexit toxicity to escape the liability consequences.   

There is no defense against leaking methane. No residential building is secure enough to keep the methane from penetrating homes and offices. Methane has been proven to enter structures through foundational cracks or through sewer traps if the house or office is built on or near landfills, and in the case of Louisiana, it can come through salt domes where the oil and the Corexit has been accumulating for nearly two and a half years.

Methane gas can also be ingested. Originally thought to be a remote possibility, methane gas can migrate into the natural water reservoirs. Yet, this is exactly what has happened. And these precise conditions are serving to impact the drinking water supplies as well as the safety of area crops because of the evapotranspirational cycle. This is not a predicted event in Louisiana, it is exactly what is happening right now.

The only way to determine that someone has been exposed to methane, is through extensive laboratory analysis conducted by trained medical personnel. In the event of methane exposure, the only way for the victim to escape with only minimal medical consequences, is to be rushed to a nearby hospital without delay. The victim would have to be put on an immediate supply of oxygen along with a life support mask and this would be accompanied by an intravenous drip to avoid further dehydration.
Please allow me to connect some dots with regard to the previous paragraphs. On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded. For over two years, large concentrations of carcinogenic material and highly flammable methane gas has been bio-accumulating in the estuaries, the beaches, the water table, the salt domes and this event is now part of the evapotranspirational cycle. In other words, these toxic conditions are now ingrained in the eco-weather system in the Gulf and federal officials sit idly and are doing nothing to ensure public safety.

From the work of people like Dr. Subra, researchers at Oregon State University, Tulane University and the University of South Florida, we now know that millions of people have been exposed to abnormally high rates of benzene, xylene and other cancer-causing chemicals. The public has been warned by the alternative media, and a few outspoken members of the mainstream media as well as a plethora of geologists, chemists and oil experts that large amounts of methane was making its way ashore in the Gulf Coast region. The resulting sinkholes, which are still greatly expanding as of this writing, and the large amounts of methane gas escaping into the air as well as infiltrating the water table, are placing untold numbers of Gulf Coast residents in a very dire set of circumstances.

When I first spoke out on my show and in my writings, in 2010 and in 2011, about the dangers of methane and what it could possibly mean for the Gulf, I was referred to as an alarmist in some mainstream media circles. To those critics who still hold to these allegations that I am fear mongering for whatever personal or professional benefit, please explain the meaning of following warning to me: The Louisiana Department of Natural Resources  (DRN) has issued a Declaration of Emergency and Directive Advisory which states that the gas in the sinkhole area should be considered to be life-threatening. Does the mainstream media have a new definition of the term “life-threatening” which would cause them to all but ignore this ominous warning? I would ask the critics, the federal government, and BP to explain away the connections between the scientific facts, the warning that the conditions in Louisiana are life-threatening and the subsequent ban on fires by government officials. Then, when they are done trying to explain away the DRN warning, perhaps they would like to address the passage of mass fatality planning legislation contained in H.R. 6566 which amends the Homeland Security Act of 2002 by requiring the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency…”to provide guidance and counseling for mass fatality planning, and for other purposes. And while the federal government is at it, perhaps they would like to explain the coincidental timing of the FEMA earthquake preparedness drills taking place along the New Madrid fault line which is precisely where some of the methane laden oil and Corexit is migrating to. Just a coincidence you say? Then maybe those people who are hell bent on staying in a state of denial, can explain why FEMA thinks that Louisiana needs massive amounts of generators to be sent to the region at taxpayers’ expense? How many coincidences can one accept until an unmistakable pattern of cover-up and criminal neglect, on the part of the government, becomes painfully obvious to even the most ardent of the Kool-Aid drinkers?

Should the coastal regions of Louisiana be evacuated? We have certainly seen the proof that government officials have actually announced plans to evacuate many areas around the sinkholes, only to change their minds without explanation. This leads one to wonder if the government is trying avoid a mass panic and they are hoping for the best without preparing for the worst. After all, the election is only a couple of weeks away and the crisis in the Gulf did happen on Obama’s watch.  

Personally, I think that the canary in the mine approach to this phenomena would be best served if the President were to spend two or three days campaigning in the Bayou country in and around coastal regions, near the 28 sinkholes which are still expanding by the day. Come on Mr. President, put your money where your mouth is, and prove to the American people that the Gulf is indeed open for business.  And while you are at it Mr. President, order up some crab and shrimp. And please make certain that you order and eat exactly what the locals eat with no specially prepared dishes made just for you. Mr. President, while you are in the Gulf, you should also take a deep breath and show the people of the region, that despite your lack of a legitimate birth certificate, that you are indeed one of them and you are willing to risk your life in the same manner as you are asking them to do.

120+ Dolphins washing up on shore, Dead in Texas, U.S. NOAA declares it "Unusual Mortality Event." Trail of deception and Lies from BP and U.S. Government included.

This is one of those, "You don't think we are that stupid, do you?" articles.   The U.S. NOAA must think people are that stupid to make up the most lame excuse (reminds me of the 'swamp gas' excuses) regarding 120+ dead dolphins so far, washing up on the shores of Texas.  U.S. NOAA are saying they are not related to anything but are simply "Unusual Mortality Event."

I remember last year when hundreds of dolphins washed up on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico states.  Those stories went away fast.



Let's not forget that BP bought the oil experts of the universities and labs that could/would have possibly given us truth about the Gulf and all the Corexit they were and still are dumping in the Gulf.

Here is a video of a dead shark on the beach from May 2012




Now there are dead dolphins that are washing up in Texas.

article from link -

HOUSTON -- The deaths of more than 120 dolphins off the Texas coast has prompted a federal agency to declare the event "unusual" and launch an investigation into whether they were related to a drought-related algae bloom or a more widespread mortality event that has plagued the northern Gulf of Mexico for two years.

The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has called the stranding of 123 dolphins on Texas shores from November through March an "unusual mortality event," an official federal listing that allows the agency to access additional funds and set up a team of researchers.

All but four of the dolphins that washed up in Texas were dead, and the few that turned up alive died a short time later, said Blair Mase, the southeast marine mammal stranding network coordinator for NOAA Fisheries. What alarmed scientists though, was the age of the bottle-nosed dolphins that washed up - juveniles rather than the very young or elderly that normally would be found - and the fact that Texas had a years-worth of dead dolphins turn up in a five-month period.

The cause, however, may not be known for months, if at all, Mase said.

"That's what's a little frustrating about this. It's not like you see on TV, on CSI, you don't get the answers quickly," she said. "It can take months and sometimes years."

Further complicating matters are an array of things occurring in the Gulf simultaneously, all of which could cause dolphin mortality, Mase said.

To begin with, the Texas coast was plagued during the fall and early winter by a toxic algae bloom called "red tide" that is caused by drought. This past year, the red tide was more severe and lasted longer than usual because of the historic drought that parched Texas and made the estuaries that flow into the Gulf salty and conducive to the algae bloom. Scientists previously have connected "red tide" to dolphin mortality, Mase said, and the strandings in Texas stopped shortly after the bloom ended.

But some of the dolphins washed up underweight, said Heidi Whitehead, state coordinator for the Galveston-based Texas Marine Mammal Stranding Network, a nonprofit organization that is the only authorized stranding network in Texas. Mase said that has not been the pattern for past red tide-related deaths.

Some of the dolphins also were found with discolored teeth and lung infections, prompting researchers to investigate whether they were affected by the same disease found in more than 700 strandings in the northern Gulf, an area stretching from the Texas-Louisiana line east to the Florida Panhandle. Researchers suspect the lung disease may be connected to the millions of gallons of oil that fouled the Gulf in April 2010 after a well blowout on a BP-operated rig, but have yet to make a final determination, Mase said.

Four of the dolphins found in Texas had a grayish, muddy substance in their stomach. It didn't look or smell like oil, but tests are being run to rule out whether it could be hydrocarbons. A similar substance was found in some dolphins elsewhere in the Gulf.

"Just like any investigation you don't want to rule anything out," Mase said. "We do know that there is disease out there ... we know that there have been stresses, some due to the BP oil spill, and that could be a reason ... and there is this harmful algae bloom. It could be that it's all of these."

Researchers have conducted more than 30 necropsies so far on the dead dolphins and collected tissue samples, but Whitehead noted one of the difficulties with these investigations is that many of the mammals wash up in late stages of decomposition, leaving little for the researchers to use in their probe. 

To date, NOAA has declared five "unusual mortality events" in Texas, all involving bottle-nosed dolphins, and has only determined a cause - morbillivirus infection - for an event in 1994. There have been 19 marine mammal events in the entire Gulf of Mexico and 56 in all US waters since 1991.

 So the Federal agency is still making every excuse for the dolphins dying and obviously will never tell the truth about it.

You are going to Love this excuse from a Houston News agency quoting a States Operation manager from Galveston Texas.

Colder water from the winter months contributed to the deaths of more than 25 dolphins that washed ashore on the Texas coast over the last two weeks, a rescue group said. 

Some of the animals were very young with umbilical cords still attached and apparently were either stillborn or separated from other dolphins just after birth, officials said.

At least 17 of the bottlenose dolphins washed ashore along the Galveston County coastline last week, said Heidi Watts, state operations coordinator for the Galveston-based Texas Marine Mammal Stranding Network. 

Watts said such strandings are fairly common from January through March, although they tend to peak in February.

Bottlenose dolphins inhabit warm seas throughout the world and generally live 30 to 40 years. The dolphins that washed up on shore probably took ill in reaction to colder water from the winter months, Watts said.

 HHMMM.........;  question about that!  Didn't we have a warmer than normal winter in 2011-2012?  Hasn't that been splashed all over the news and using it as a "Global Warming" claim?  How then did the waters get colder than normal, if the winter was warmer than normal and thus cause all the dolphin deaths?  Can't they get their stories straight?

Oh, they are of course more worried about money and tourism than they are people's lives and health safety.  

Considering it has been 2 years since the BP oil Leak (not spill) and they have been dumping Corexit in it since, there is no doubt it has been taken around the world now in the currents of the ocean. 

Remember in Peru there were 600+ dolphins that died at one time and washed upon the beaches of Peru.   Here is a video of researchers driving the beach and many of the dead dolphins. *Warning* -It is a very saddening video.

BP was never made to reveal what is in the Corexit they constantly dump into the Gulf of Mexico. The EPA allowed them to continue it, even though in the beginning they had reserves about what was contained in the ingredients of Corexit. Lets not forget who owns the Corexit company (Goldman Sachs).

I am not sure when this next video was made, but it was uploaded last month.  It shows a plane spraying Corexit in the water.  The video is more about pointing out an anomaly (reflection?) underwater.  I am using it for the purpose of the spraying of Corexit.





All the above brings me to the question..... Is the mysterious Flesh eating bacteria that has been showing up on the East coast related to the Corexit that has been dumped into the Gulf by BP and Goldman Sachs? The people that have been afflicted the disease.... had they been in the Gulf of Mexico at some point in the last 2 years? Do they eat seafood/shrimp that is from the Gulf?

In April I wrote about how the Gulf of Mexico shrimp are now deformed and they are without eyes. I also wrote how the U.S. Government is refusing to test the seafood.


Al Jazeera is the only news agency that has had anything about it, this year.  Here is their "Inside Story" about what is going on in the Gulf of Mexico.    In it NOAA claims the Gulf is as safe now as it was before the BP leak.




Since then, I have seen my local news agency promote the shrimp from the Gulf of Mexico. Why anyone would still eat any seafood from there, is beyond me. Also why anyone would eat seafood at all anymore, is beyond me. My favorite food was Seafood, but I stopped eating seafood from the Gulf after the BP oil leak and now I have had to stop eating it from the Pacific due to Fukushima. Besides that the U.S. government hid the fact that they found radiated Tuna in June of last year off the West Coast. They have just admitted it last month. So how sick are people going to be from all the poison the government has allowed people to ingest? They know that the seafood is poison.

Oh, what has just been released is the fact BP wants to only pay 15 Billion for the Gulf Kill, compared to the 123 Billion suits and claims against them.  They are of course working with the U.S. government to get to that 15 Billion figure.  Does anyone have any doubt that they will get what they want and BP will never pay the people along the gulf for their lost living   OH, but BP has a video they made saying they had set aside 20 Billion for the gulf.  Which considering they want to only pay 15 Billion in total now, is a complete lie!  Let's watch BP out right LIE themselves:

EVERY ONE OF THESE CLAIMS IN THIS BP VIDEO IS A COMPLETE LIE -This was released in December of 2011.





I would also like all the officials in the U.S. who have been part of the cover up (Obama, Clinton, EPA, NOAA, Congress, Senate, bankers, and BP executives, etc) have a complete seafood dinner together. They should be made to eat Blue Fin Tuna from the Pacific and Shrimp from the Gulf of Mexico during one dinner. It would include, at least one pound of Shrimp and one large Tuna steak, each. Oh, lets include Wild caught Salmon off the coast of Alaska and throw in a King Crab leg off Alaska too.

Added link - Infowars has an article up now that says "The U.S. government is claiming Humans are a National Security Threat to the Oceans and the Planet." 

Funny - the U.S. government is not saying BP and TEPCO AND other Big Corporations including Goldman Sachs are NOT the threat against the Ocean and Earth!  Of course they blame the "people" for the deaths of the environment and oceans.  

All Government Agencies Refusing to Test Seafood from Gulf of Mexico. Seafood deformed- Video. 2 Year Anniversary of BP Oil Leak - still happening

The fishermen in the Gulf of Mexico have never seen anything like the seafood they are now catching there.


The shrimp don't have eyes, the fish have lesions on them and all Federal Government agencies are refusing to test the seafood out of the Gulf of Mexico.


I use to eat seafood all the time.  My favorite food is/was Crawfish.  I have not eaten a single crawfish since the oil leak.  I won't eat any seafood now.  I did make sure any seafood I ate came from the Asian area, after the BP oil leak.  Now that of course is ruined too and of course the Federal Government will not test any seafood out of Japan/Alaska or any where around there either.


Portion from link:

New Orleans, LA - "The fishermen have never seen anything like this," Dr Jim Cowan told Al Jazeera. "And in my 20 years working on red snapper, looking at somewhere between 20 and 30,000 fish, I've never seen anything like this either."

Dr Cowan, with Louisiana State University's Department of Oceanography and Coastal Sciences started hearing about fish with sores and lesions from fishermen in November 2010.

Cowan's findings replicate those of others living along vast areas of the Gulf Coast that have been impacted by BP's oil and dispersants.

Gulf of Mexico fishermen, scientists and seafood processors have told Al Jazeera they are finding disturbing numbers of mutated shrimp, crab and fish that they believe are deformed by chemicals released during BP's 2010 oil disaster.

Along with collapsing fisheries, signs of malignant impact on the regional ecosystem are ominous: horribly mutated shrimp, fish with oozing sores, underdeveloped blue crabs lacking claws, eyeless crabs and shrimp - and interviewees' fingers point towards BP's oil pollution disaster as being the cause.

Here is video from April 9th of a fly over around the BP oil leak area - you will see oil is still coming to the surface. An oil leak is still happening. But of course people think it is safe, because MSM and the government has said so. Including all those wonderful commercials from BP showing all the States surrounding the Gulf vying for "Who is the best state to visit" and saying how safe the seafood and water is now.



Here is the latest BP commercial for 2012 how safe the seafood and water is:




One very big question - if it took for the 3rd generation of seafood in the Gulf of Mexico to fully show the toxicity from the BP oil and corexit (that they still spray every day), when will the humans show it from eating the seafood from there over the last couple of years.

The two year anniversary of the BP Oil Leak is coming up this weekend today. Will MSM review it? Will they assure everyone "All is fine now?" Will they ignore it completely and hope people don't remember it?

I know I remember it, because it is still happening. I am also asking people not to eat the seafood. For all the people eating the seafood and having children what will show up in their kids at some point?

Edit to Add - 4/19/12

MotherJones has an article and pictures showing how the skin of humans are soaking up the oil tar and corexit in the Gulf Waters. It proves how toxic the water really is.

Map of Animal Die off - Look at the Pattern - I believe it is from the Gulf Of Mexico Moisture when it rains Corexit and the synthetic bacteria - BP created! Extreme Weather around the World Stems From Oil Leak in GOM - IMO

Here is a map of the animal deaths in mass in the U.S.

Do you notice something?  Look at how it is mostly the mid to East coast of the U.S.!  Then look at the weather patterns of when the Gulf of Mexico moisture comes up.  To me there is a correlation, the map matches GOM systems brought up.  BP with the nod from the U.S. government dumped millions of barrels and still dump barrels of corexit with a lab created bacteria into the Gulf of Mexico!  That bacteria is now showing to eat through steel and all other matter.  I can't imagine what is going to happen to the other oil platforms in the Gulf, besides it already getting into the Gulf stream going around the world.  The Gulf stream is now broken - that is why we are having the mini ice age we are.  The warm waters have stopped going North and bring temperate weather.  Now the cold waters are staying put and creating all the super cold weather and snow in the Northern Hemisphere.   Also, do you have any doubt the flooding of Australia is also from the warm waters staying there and creating more moisture?  I believe we will be having extreme weather everywhere around the world and it is ALL FROM BP'S OIL LEAK!

Jesse Ventura has been telling the TRUTH about many subjects and he took on the Gulf of Mexico Oil Volcano and the TRUTH of it!

His show may be called "Conspiracy Theory", but he presents the FACTS - if you want to stay asleep and only listen to MSM then don't bother watch this.  Jesse is becoming my hero!  Now he is someone I would LOVE to work for!~

Gulf Shrimp are NOT Safe to Eat - Media outlet Really Tested Them, They are contaminated with Toxins!

A Florida News Station decided to Test the Gulf Shrimp themselves.  They ordered Raw Gulf shrimp over the internet and sent it to a lab.

The results back - were not good.  Even though the Government and BP are saying the seafood is fine out of the Gulf, only someone who has not been paying attention would believe them.  But this proves the seafood out of the Gulf is Toxic!

Remember the FDA is only doing a smell test, they have not actually tested the seafood for toxins, they only smell it, to say if it is good or not.  It seems the covering up and protecting of BP is still going on.

Portion:

Scientists found elevated levels of Anthracene, a toxic hydrocarbon and a by-product of petroleum. The Anthracene levels were double what the FDA finds to be acceptable.

The scientist who tested the shrimp said she would not eat it based on the results, and the results may surprise consumers and shrimpers.

"There has been a lot of monitoring going on," said Sal Versaggi, Southern Shrimp Alliance President.

Seafood sellers have depended on government monitoring to keep consumers safe, but based on our results it appears more testing needs to be done

News Station Report - People have Died from Flesh Eating Bacteria after being in the Gulf of Mexico water, One woman just from Cleaning Fish from Gulf!

A flesh eating bacteria killed a 12 year old after he walked in the Gulf water and his feet only got wet. Then it switches and talks about a 49 year old who died after waist fishing off Galveston Texas from the same thing. Then discusses a woman who died after cleaning seafood out of the Gulf in Galveston, from the same thing.

You can also get it, from eating contaminated seafood.

** Also please know, there have been many more reports of people being sick that are not in MSM.

I Continue to Be Shocked At What the U.S. Govt is Doing - Not Allowed to Dig on Beaches or Build Sand Castles Anymore (it might uncover oil under the sand)!

Really it is un Frickin Believable to What extent the government is going to, to cover up the oil on the beaches!

It has become illegal to dig in the sand and if you have a shovel in your hands, you will be approached and asked for identification!

A news media in Florida found this out the hard way.  The reporter went to the beach to see if there was oil under the sand.  He was approached by a wildlife officer and then a police officer, saying it was illegal to dig in the sand.  The reporter asked, if it was illegal to build sand castles and the officer said it was.

What has happened to this country?! Why are people sitting back and not saying anything?!

New Orleans News Station - Government Commission On BP Oil Leak - Intimidating Scientist who are Finding Gulf and Seafood is Toxic

This is what an independent U.S. government commission does?  They intimidate scientist that are finding information about how toxic the Gulf of Mexico Water and Seafood is?  I thought commissions were formed to find the truth - you know like 9/11 - Kennedy assassination and so on.  Yeah, I know.... those weren't exactly truth telling.

So the commission formed on the Largest Oil Leak in the World - is calling scientist intimidating them because those scientist have found the water and seafood of the Gulf of Mexico is toxic.  The scientist have not even officially released their findings, but the commission got wind of the test results.  They called the scientist wanting to know if they had Permits to test the water and they implied they were not happy with the results.

I commend this New Orleans station for running this News segment regarding this!







National Geographic did an article regarding the huge Fish Kill, which I had also posted about a few days ago.

UPDATE- 9/19/10

A scientist are saying BP's claims of 1 Million Gallons of Dispersant used is wrong, they estimated 40 Million Gallons of Dispersant used!

Hundreds are Sick around Gulf - Australia MSM Tells Truth - Video

Australian MSM video about one woman and environmental scientist who is determined for the truth to come out about the sickness of people around the Gulf of Mexico. I have to say I was also shocked while watching this video to see families out in the Gulf swimming at Grand Isle. How could parents allow their children to swim in the Gulf with all the toxins that have been poured into it?

Gulf Of Mexico - Billions of Dead Fish Washing Ashore, Including Whales - Dolphins - Also ABC Reveals Miles of Oil Underwater! U.S. Paid Propaganda Revealed!

No matter how much the government and BP have tried to make the information go away and they tell everyone "Everything is Fine and the Seafood is Great and most of the oil is gone", lying with every breath they take..... The truth can not be hidden for long.

Part of the truth coming out is a video from yesterday.  What looks like a paved road, is actually billions of DEAD fish, which included a whale, dolphin and other mammals, besides various varieties of fish washing ashore in bayous of Louisiana.

Video out Sept 13th:




ABC also did a story releasing the truth about "The oil being gone" as claimed by BP and the U.S. government.

They revealed scientist have found MILES of OIL under the surface.  The scientist have been bullied by the U.S. government in trying to Stop them from releasing this information, but I applaud ABC for actually telling the truth in this situation.

First sentence of article - also video is at above link.

Oil from the BP spill has not been completely cleared, but miles of it is sitting at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, according to a study currently under way. 

Now this is very interesting and revealing!  The U.S. has been PAYING for Media Propaganda on the Gulf Oil Leak (not spill)!  BP has been paying the U.S. government back for lots of the propaganda also, it has been revealed.  BP may also be paying for the Obama's "vacation" down to the Gulf, that included the FAKE picture of Obama and his daughter swimming in the Gulf, of which they did not.  At what point will people WAKE UP to all the lies about the Gulf that the government and BP are Spilling Out?!

1 in 7 houses in Foreclosure - Obama's Mortgage Modification Plan - Bombed - Banks would NOT Modify 48% of Mortgages!

Here we are, where 1 in 7 houses in 2010 have or are in Foreclosure!  Banks would not modify 48% of the mortgages of people who applied for it.

I know of people with good jobs that asked for the modification and paid their mortgage on time every month, but the banks would not modify the loan.  There is no advantage to the banks modifying loans, but they went along with it all, pretending they would due to the Trillions they have received from ALL of US!

In fact there is small print on the modification applications, that said if the banks decided not to modify the loan, they then had a right to foreclose without notice.  Normally people have to have 4 weeks notice of their houses being foreclosed on by the bank.  Many people have had knocks at their doors, being told their house was sold that morning in foreclosure!  Those people had been paying their temporary modification loan amounts, but the banks had decided not make it permanent, so they foreclosed without notice.

The Federal Reserve which is a PRIVATE BANK - it is NOT a Government entity - YET it takes our taxes and obligates all of us in the U.S. to debt!  In obligating us to debt it feels like doing, it has hidden how much it has given the banks, it works under secrecy.  A reporter with Bloomberg sued the Federal Reserve in 2008, for them to release who they had given money to.  The Federal Reserve lost the suit and appealed.  **side note - the reporter who sued, has since met an untimely death***  the Appellate court has refused to overturn the other judges decision, saying the Federal Reserve HAD to release all the information of who they gave money to and in what amounts.  Now, it seems the Federal Reserve is taking it all the way to the Supreme Court.  I won't hold my breath with their verdict, we all know the Supreme Court is bought and sold, they are not about Justice any more.  They do the bidding of Big business now and mostly side with Big Businesses.

Back to the banks and housing...... seems MSM will be blaming any "recession" that is coming back on housing prices and home sales.  In July existing home sales dropped 12% from June ***(revised figures - Down 27.2% in July)*** - the largest drop in sales over a month since 1979 (Carter in office and interest rates at 19%).   They won't mention how the banks have screwed people or committed fraud, or how the Federal Reserve has printed money and given it to the banks and their friends.  They won't mention how the U.S. government has wasted Trillions on Wars, that were based on lies.  They won't mention that if the government had given the people the money directly (about one million dollars per household) we would not have any problems at all.  People would have purchased houses, cars and luxury items and less money would have been given away.  We would have a thriving economy and people would have started businesses and employed many.  We would have little unemployment and people would be spending lots in all areas of the economy.

Instead we have a government that is falsifying and manipulating the markets and commodities and they are buying the treasuries themselves, secretly, so no one will know that the rest of the world has a vote of NO CONFIDENCE in the United States anymore.

The government is also creating every kind of oppressive law possible.  Even going as far as people not being able to have their own gardens.  The government wants complete control of everything the people do and eat.  Of course those in charge of our food at the FDA and Agricultural Dept. are All previous Monsanto executives.  They of course will make sure Monsanto controls all the food and seeds of the United States.  If you have not seen "Food Inc" the documentary - It is a Must SEE!  But it will get you sick in how Monsanto controls the farms of the U.S. through intimidation and taking the land away from farmers by suing them.

How is it, we have allowed our nation to go so far down hill?  Oh, the Fluoride in the water basically keeps people calm and not standing up to how the government is over stepping their bounds.  We are no longer a Free Nation, and if anyone still thinks we are, then they have not been paying attention to what is really going on.  We are a nation of manipulation and are intent on controlling the resources of the world in what ever manner it needs to be done.


At what point will people look at the Fraud being committed by the banks and the government and say enough is enough?  When will people Stand Up and Say:  "I AM MAD AS HELL AND I AM NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE"?

I am not talking about a violent revolt - I am talking about an Intellectual Revolt, including showing the Main Stream Media as they really are!  They are propaganda Tools for the government and the elite.  They shape those who watches, the opinions they want the people to have and what way they want the people to think.

I am asking for all Those with MERS Mortgages to STAND UP and contact Lawyers in your area, start calling around and ask if they will being willing to do a Class Action Lawsuit in your state Against MERS!  I am asking for everyone to look at their Mortgage and see if it is a MERS mortgage and if it is STAND UP to Show the FRAUD the Banks have committed with MERS!  Look at some of the links I have provided on my MERS post.

Spread the information about MERS!  Look at the Updates - Lets work together - Lets Expose the Fraud of the Banks and this Government, by allowing the Banks to do what they have done.  The people have suffered and being kicked in the face by the banks and government, there has not been one law passed that has actually helped the People - only big businesses and the banks since 2008.  They have pretended to try and help the people, but just as the modification program has been a HUGE FAIL - it has Hurt more people than it has helped!

I won't even get into the Lies and cover up that the government is doing for BP down in the Gulf!  That is another whole subject.  But many are going to die from the Government lies, if they eat the seafood from the Gulf!  I don't understand how the Government gave up our sovereignty to a Corporation.  They have allowed BP to control the military and police in the Gulf, they have allowed BP to control the media information of the Gulf, they have allowed BP to control what testing is done on the water.  They have allowed BP to try and buy all the Universities science departments throughout the U.S. - so they could control the science information of the Gulf.  Obama LIED - He did NOT Swim in the Gulf - he was in a lake off the Gulf with his daughter in the ONE picture the White House released of his vacation down there.  If he had actually swam in the Gulf... don't you think they would have allowed the media to actually witness it?  There is NO way he would put a foot in the water or allow his daughter to touch the Gulf water!

The Gulf situation is for another day.... Right now, I am appealing to Everyone to get the information out about MERS to everyone they know.  Lets start something Big, that can not be ignored and the media will have to acknowledge all the suits against the Banks, as of now, they have completely ignored what is happening around the U.S. and judges ruling against MERS.

Commercial Fishermen - Seafood is NOT safe - Also U.S. Govt and BP - transferring Liability to Fishermen for any Toxic Seafood put on Market!

Just when you think the U.S. Government can't get any Lower along with BP - they manage to submerge themselves More!

How did the Government become such Tools for Big Oil?  How did it get this way?   How did the government stop becoming what is best for the people and only what is best for Big Business?

Video of Commercial Fishermen, saying seafood is NOT safe from the Gulf and how the Government and BP wants the fishermen to sign waivers saying the fishermen are the responsible party for any seafood that is toxic that goes on the market.  The FDA is saying it is safe..... they are ONLY doing a smell test - no real testing is being done for toxins etc.  The fishermen want toxic testing done.

Also, BP has not been paying the fishermen as they said they would.

Toxic Air around the Gulf - Flight showing air has something in it!

Toxic air around the Gulf Coast. This guy has done numerous flights

over the oil, shows there is something in the air, besides people saying

the rain burns around the Gulf. Remember the EPA said the air was fine

after 9/11, though they knew it was not and there was asbestos in the

air besides other things. Since then many who worked on the clean up are dead and most others have breathing problems and Cancer...

The Government needs to tell the truth, but I won't hold my breath for that. 

I have put up information on my other blog about Dengue Fever happening around Florida and the history of Dengue Fever, with the CIA using it as a Biological Warfare virus. But questioning, is it Dengue Fever or is it Toxins from the Oil Leak/Volcano.

EPA Whistleblower Says Oil is Poisoning Millions from Oil - Besides a Report/Rumor Obama told G20 Millions Will Most LikelyDie from Oil.

EPA Whistleblower talked to Democracy Now and said Millions are being poisoned from the Oil and are Bleeding internally.

Portion:

... \we have dolphins that are hemorrhaging. People who work near it are hemorrhaging internally. And that’s what dispersants are supposed to do... Congressman Markey and Nadler, as well as Senator Mikulski, have been heroes... Mark Kaufman, EPA whistleblower, Democracy Now!

Poisoning millions of people

In its report, EPA Whistleblower Accuses Agency of Covering Up Effects of Dispersant in BP Oil Spill Cleanup, Democracy Now! states that "many lawmakers and advocacy groups say the Obama administration is not being candid about the lethal effects of dispersants," so Amy Goodman interviewed Hugh Kaufman, a senior policy analyst at the EPA’s Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response and a leading critic of the decision to use Corexit" who disclosed how the officials are lying about many things related to the catastrophe poisoning "millions of people." (Listen: Real Audio Strea or MP3 Download)

The rushed transcript includes Kaufman saying, "And I think the media now has to follow the money, just as they did in Watergate, and tell the American people who’s getting money for poisoning the millions of people in the Gulf. (Emphasis added)

Also a Report/rumor that Obama told G20 Leaders that millions will most likely die from the Oil.

A sobering report circulating in the Kremlin today from President Medvedev’s meeting with other World leaders at the G8 summit in Muskoka, Ontario states that President Obama has warned his counterparts that the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster “will most likely kill millions, perhaps tens of millions” of people during the coming year.

Fueling Obama’s dire assessment of this “Gulf Apocalypse”, this report says, are the oil and toxic rains now being reported to be falling throughout the US Gulf Coast region due to the fracturing of the Gulf of Mexico seafloor allowing untold millions of gallons of oil and millions of cubic feet of methane gas to escape unchecked into our World’s seventh largest body of water, not
to mention the millions of gallons of dangerous disbursements being
used that is poisoning everything in its path.

So dangerous has the Gulf Coast environment become to human beings the United States Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a warning that, in part,
says: “People,
including pregnant women, can be exposed to these chemicals by
breathing them (air), by swallowing them (water, food), or by touching
them (skin). If possible, everyone, including pregnant women, should
avoid the oil and spill-affected areas.”

With nearly 20 million American’s living along the affected Gulf Coast region one wonders where they
could all go and leaving many to speculate a massive evacuation is
being planned by the US Government of the entire region.

 If any of the above is true, then Why the Hell is this Govt. and media NOT being honest with the people of the U.S and Gulf region?!  People could then take the steps to Save their Own Lives and get out of the area....if they knew the truth of the air and poisons of the Gulf!  It is so sickening that this Government will let people die in place, instead of telling them there is a Real problem! 

Latest Picture of Gulf Oil

Here is the latest picture of the Gulf Oil.

There is so much that is not actually being disclosed in my opinion. But one thing I would like to know, is Why won't BP let scientist look at the oil themselves coming from the pipes, also what right do that have to stop others? Especially since they did not even have a permit for drilling And a foreign company was drilling within 200 miles of the U.S. coast, which isn't suppose to be allowed. So why aren't executives from BP being arrested for drilling without a permit. Honestly, I have had a very bad feeling about this from the beginning. Besides losing our oceans from this, as it goes around the ocean's conveyor belt. I have wondered and worried about the methane gas being released also in the water.

I have questioned if it could actually explode? After doing some research I have found it could. If the water exploded (lightening hitting etc) that could cause a tsunami of oil to hit the Gulf Coast areas bring oil way inland, besides causing other events, including Earth quakes, even on the New Madrid.

Govt. Keeping Huge Amount of Chemtrails Over Oil in Gulf!

I have been watching the Gulf Oil Volcano. First it has taken me this long, to even be able to post about it. It has upset me so badly. I have researched all I can on it.

I watch it via the Modis site and Flash Earth and I have noticed now, the Govt. is keeping HEAVY CHEMTRAILS over the area. They are trying to Cover up how bad it is, in my opinion!

Here are pictures from 5/14/10





Even with the Heavy Chemtrailing - I was able to get somewhat close and you can see how bad the oil is here!


Here is a HONEST Video of the area - this was taken on the 7th of May - WARNING - YOU MAY GET SICK OVER THIS VIDEO!



Now, the fact is - this Oil Volcano can affect and KILL ALL THE OCEANS OF THE WORLD! On the 3rd of May it was reported by a news agency to be within 24 hours of getting into the Conveyor Belt of the Oceans. Since then there has been SILENCE Regarding that fact. So we all have to assume it has gotten into the Conveyor Belt.

Map of the World's Oceans Conveyor Belt:




The Honest information is the Oceans provide Oxygen to our Earth, this oil volcano is not just about the Oceans and Sea Life - which is completely sickening on it's own in dying! It is also about man's survival on this Earth!

I found this post - I am not someone who frequents this forum, but have gone recently due to actually very good information regarding the Oil Volcano in the Gulf. This person puts together a Very good post about it and what it REALLY means to us all on this Earth.

http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message1066057/pg1

There is so much more to say about this, but I have been so depressed over it and knowing this is a SERIOUS TEOTWAWKI EVENT!

Oh, I bet the PTB of the U.S. Oil Companies are PO'd! The War in Iraq was All for Naught!

With the news out today - I can just imagine all the phone calls and upset PTB in the U.S.

The Billions and Billions spent - besides (which is what matters to us)- the LIVES LOST by our military personnel - how the country of Iraq has been decimated and the U.S. economy has been decimated due to the War in Iraq. It seems it was ALL FOR NAUGHT!

The U.S. DID NOT ACCOMPLISH what they set out to do and the REASON for going to war in Iraq - To GAIN CONTROL OF THE OIL!

It has fallen apart - the whole game and scheme the U.S. had, I am sure they thought they had the right to the oil and there would never be a doubt about U.S. companies gaining control.

Well, they were WRONG - the Iraqi government signed a contract and gave the rights to the oil, to a Chinese company - CNPC and the British company BP!

http://english.aljazeera.net/business/2009/10/2009108195159366645.html


Iraqi officials have signed a deal with Britain's BP and China's CNPC to develop its Rumaila oilfield, a milestone in Iraq's efforts to renew its oil sector.Officials from Iraq's state-owned South Oil Company and the two oil companies agreed the deal on Thursday, Assem Jihad, an oil ministry spokesman, said. Final approval is still needed from the government.
"The contract will be sent to the cabinet for approval, then a final date will be chosen to sign the contract during an official ceremony," Jihad said on Thursday.

Another article about it:

http://english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2009/06/2009630142632943969.html

A consortium of British giant BP PLC and China's CNPC was the only successful bidder.
Its offers for the Rumaila oil field, which holds 17.8bn barrels in crude reserves, beat off competition from US giant Exxon Mobil and Malaysia's Petronas.
The Exxon Mobil-led consortium requested $4.8 per barrel for production over the minimum and BP wanted $3.99 per barrel, al-Shahristani said.
The ministry was willing to pay $2 per barrel.
BP agreed to match the ministry's price and won the contract, with Exxon Mobil refusing to revise its bid.

Now - how Ironic would it be that the oil will not end up trading in U.S. dollars but in other currencies - which is the REASON why we went into Iraq. Saddam was going to drop the dollar and sell oil in Euros!!

With this information coming out now.

I have a few thoughts and questions.

Will the violence in Iraq, all of a sudden become worst now?

Will oil fields once again start being destroyed?

Will China now insert some military forces there, to protect their rights?

Will some of the government people in Iraq all of a sudden start being taken out and assassinated?

In other words will those PTB in the U.S. be SO Pissed Off - they will take vengeance out on Iraq?

I am sure that the Bushs, Cheneys, Exxons, Chevron, Shell etc of the world felt it was their right to the oil of Iraq.

If you start hearing of more violence in Iraq - think about who the oil rights were given to, before you think it is some random events, including fires starting again on the oil fields.
