BP Oil is Leaking Out of the Sea Floor

Posted on by

The BP oil leak is much worse than we are being told, it’s getting worse by the day and it might already be too late to do anything about it. Oil is now leaking up from the seabed itself, because the well is fractured under the sea floor. That means that whole oil field, theoretically, can now leak out of cracks in the ocean floor no matter how they attempt to “plug” the BP holes.    No wells, pipes or man-made holes are needed.  It’s possible the pressure caused by the “top kill” procedure made it much worse, too.  If we are lucky the whole thing won’t blow like a super-volcano.  Unfortunately, if we were “lucky” this would never have happened, as this is going to end up negatively affecting the entire country.

This video was recorded from the Viking Poseidon ROV 1 on June 13th, 2010, and shows bursts and seeping oil coming up from cracks in the seabed.  BP denies that oil or gas are leaking from cracks in the sea floor on the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, of course, because they deny all reality when presented with it.

The oil bursts are allegedly coming from the seabed made of rock. If it’s seeping through rock, that would mean there are substantial cracks in that rock. Worried yet? There will be more to come about this later.  BP’s live feed from the Viking Poseidon ROV 1 is here, (but I can’t see it on my computer for some reason.)

President Obama is expected to mention a climate and energy bill in his speech tonight. What I would like him to say is that this disastrous oil catastrophe is one of the most important events in human history because it will instigate an important turning point for humanity. That turning point will be the end of the fossil fuel era. It will be as important to human civilization as the industrial age, or the invention of electricity itself. This will be the beginning of the human race entering a future that is sustainable, where energy is clean and available equally and affordably to everyone around the world, which will mark  a huge leap forward in human development.

But he won’t say anything like that. He’ll probably even mention that we should continue to drill for oil.

Just in case you are now sunk in despair, here is a video that might make you smile, (unless you are British.)

Are We That Freaking Surprised?

Posted on by

By The Right Guy

Are we that Freaking surprised? As the Fabian socialist constituencies (read that eco-terrorists and other far left leaning misanthropes) that propelled Obama to the white house are giving him a pass on the oil spill, the general public is growing ever frustrated with his incompetent and ersatz performance as president.

Here is a guy that never has had profit/loss responsibilities of running a business, and has not had any executive experience at all. The average manager of McDonalds has more executive experience than he had before being elected president of the United States. It's been on the job training since January 20th, 2009.

On top of this, his career has largely been a vehicle to create a mythical narrative for his ascendancy to where he is now. He's never taken any chances, and it's always been about him. Now that he's in a position where he can't pass the buck, where he can't blame anyone else, where he can't control the press or all the political operatives involved, we find out not only is the king naked, but he has a small pee pee and doesn't know what to do with it. he does ask a lot of advice from very respected people though.

We are almost 2 months into this oil well spewing millions of gallons of light crude into the gulf, and now we have the coast guard giving an ultimatum to BP: You better stop that leak. It's incredulous. For all the abuse George Bush took for Katrina and being labelled an idiot, he never earned it. Truth be told, Governor Landrieu told Bush she had to think about it for 24 hrs as to whether to accept his help or not, but he was down there in days, not months. And yet, we have the state run media playing along as best it can with rear facing excretory orifices like Matt Lauer asking when is he going to kick ass. Matt Lauer couldn't find his membrum virile with a map, GPS, Katie Couric pointing at it and Willard Scott giving directions. Obama is worse. I don't think anyone could make up a story as ludicrous as the scenario that has unravelled in the last 2 months, let alone the last two years.

So, in an ode to Stymie, that charming con man-boy from the little rascals, I hear by award Obama with the Stymie Mountebank Straw Man Magician Award for Total Incompetence for 2010. He conned most of us into electing him, and he'll try to con us into forgetting how bad he really is. The problem for him is, he can't run or hide from the truth now, and even with a if not obeisant press, a sympathetic one. The problem is, who is the Reagan of 2012? To be honest, that person hasn't shown up yet. What do you think? Are you surprised by his incompetence? If you think I am indulging in some schadenfreude, you are right. It's just that I love saying I told you so.

Thank you for reading this blog.
