BP Gulf Coast oil leak, evidence for peak oil?
My prediction, as oil prospectors are driven to greater depths to supply our demand. Desasters will increase and the ability to control such events will decrease. I mean you try plug a hole 5000' below the surface! No wonder the use of nukes are in discussion But then how to place it wow what a mess
Of course, the current spill involves not only BP, but our old friend Halliburton, of Cheney, Rumsfeld, and mega war profits fame http://www.disinfo.com/tag/bp/. And finally, guess who is the largest recipient of BP's American largesse; the guy who was quick to say BP will pay, Obama.

Researchers at KTH have been able to prove that the fossils of animals and plants are not necessary to generate raw oil and natural gas. This result is extremely radical as it means that it will be much easier to find these energy sources and that they may be located all over the world.
“With the help of our research we even know where oil could be found in Sweden!” says Vladimir Kutcherov, Professor at the KTH Department of Energy Technology in Stockholm.
Together with two research colleagues, Professor Kutcherov has simulated the process of pressure and heat that occurs naturally in the inner strata of the earth’s crust. This process generates hydrocarbons, the primary elements of oil and natural gas.
According to Vladimir Kutcherov,these results are a clear indication that oil supplies are not drying up, which has long been feared by researchers and experts in the field.
He adds that there is no chance that fossil oils, with the help of gravity or other forces, would have been able to seep down to a depth of 10.5 kilometres under, for example the Gulf of Mexico. This is, according to Vladimir Kutcherov, in addition to his own research results, further evidence that this energy sources can occur other than via fossils - something which will cause a lively discussion among researchers for a considerable period of time.
“There is no doubt that our research has shown that raw oil and natural gas occur without the inclusion of fossils. All types of rock formations can act as hosts for oil deposits,” asserts Vladimir and adds that this applies to areas of land that have previously remained unexplored as possible sources of this type of energy.
This discovery has several positive aspects. Rate of success as concerns finding oil increases dramatically – from 20 till 70 percent. As drilling for oil and natural gas is an extremely expensive process, costs levels will be radically changed for the petroleum companies and eventually also for the end user.
“This means savings of many billions of kronor,” says Vladimir.
In order to identify where it is worth drilling for natural gas and oil, Professor Kutcherov has, via his research, developed a new method. The world is divided into a fine-meshed grid. This grid is the equivalent of cracks, known as migration channels, through strata underlying the earth’s crust. Good places to drill are where these cracks meet.
According to Professor Kutcherov, these research results are extremely important not least as 61 percent of the world’s energy consumption is currently based on raw oil and natural gas.
The next stage in this research is more experiments, especially to refine the method that makes it easier to locate drilling points for oil and natural gas.
The research results produced by Vladimir Kutcherov, Anton Kolesnikov and Alexander Goncharov were recently published in the scientific journal Nature Geoscience, Volume 2, August.
that might be so item8 but we'd run out of trees if there wasn't forestry management Wink
But is abiotic oil as plentiful as trees or as plentiful as saltwater? Anyway, what about the alternatives that are being ignored or suppressed such as "cold fusion"?
Somebody knew in advance. It was meant to happen. That’s why Goldman Sachs, Halliburton and BP’s Chief, all could make money on it.

Mother Jones magazine reported:
'Tony Buzbee, a lawyer representing 15 rig workers and dozens of shrimpers, seafood restaurants, and dock workers, says he has obtained a three-page signed statement from a crew member on the boat that rescued the burning rig's workers.
The sailor, who Buzbee refuses to name for fear of costing him his job, was on the ship's bridge when Deepwater Horizon installation manager Jimmy Harrell, a top employee of rig owner Transocean, was speaking with someone in Houston via satellite phone.
Buzbee told Mother Jones that, according to this witness account, Harrell was screaming, "Are you * happy? Are you * happy? The rig's on fire! I told you this was gonna happen.'
Yes, and nothing was done because it was meant to happen.
BP originates from Pursian Gulf oil business. It was“The National Iranian Oil Company” in 1953, and was ousted from Iran in 1979. When US wants to start a war in Iran, they need again the ally of the Great Britain like what they had when Bush started Iraq invasion. But the poddle of Tony Blair is not at the seat. To extort Britain to join the coming Iran war, the Gulf oil spill was created to shake the foundation of the BP. To save BP from the financial trouble – joining the Iran war.

Iran Accountable for BP Oil Spill

In order to pay for the damages it caused to U.S. businesses and to itself, BP will likely resort to its historic strategy of how it became an oil giant in the first place. And the U.S. will once again help the corporation as we did in 1953 when a covert CIA plot overthrew Iran’s democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh and instated an authoritarian regime in order to acquire that country’s oil.
The coup proved to be a successful covert experiment for the U.S. when The National Iranian Oil Company was transformed into British Petroleum in 1954…..
In 1979, Iran’s Islamic Revolution ousted BP from the country and attained back its resources; but for the past few years U.S. officials have again been looking toward Iran, which still has the world’s third largest oil reserves.
BP oil rig in Gulf was damaged in April 20, 2010. I alleged it was sabotage because big heads all knew in advance. Goldman Sachs, BP’s Chief all sold their BP stocks days before the case broken. Halliburton also bought an oil clean-up company just a week before the rig collapsing. Everything follows the steps of 911 sabotage when there was a “Bin Laden trading” of stock which made money on the coming 911 attack. The insiders are experts to take advantage on their plot.
BP was not able to stop the oil leaking in following month. The pressure increased on U.K.. Watch the time table:

U.K. - U.S. relationship thaws
By Helene Cooper
New York Times
Washington - It was not quite the Tony Blair-Bill Clinton love fest of 1997, but President Barack Obama and the newly minted British prime minister, David Cameron, appeared game to do everything they could Tuesday to take some of the recent chill out of the relationship between their countries.
“
Cameron will follow its predecessor to help the U.S. to continue its “war on terror” in Mid-east. Interesting thing is the media even dare not to say Tony Blair- George Bush love fest but replaced it with Bill Clinton because that would otherwise reveal its attention - Cameron would join Obama in War on Iran, just like Blair joined Bush in War on Iraq.
It is through these CEO, Feds rule this country. That's why these CEO can always harvest fat bonus and pension, despite it's good year or bad one. Even the company is bankrupted, they left with a full pocket. When they were ousted from a company, they just get another CEO job in a different firm. Because they work for the interest of the ruling class, not for the interest of small share holders or company employers. And those CEO agents now are pushed to take the seats to run the government. The typical representatives we see: Bloomburg, Meg Whitman, Fiorina.....

BP chief Tony Hayward sold shares weeks before oil spill
The chief executive of BP sold ￡1.4 million of his shares in the fuel giant weeks before the Gulf of Mexico oil spill caused its value to collapse.
By Jon Swaine and Robert Winnett

Tony Hayward cashed in about a third of his holding in the company one month before a well on the Deepwater Horizon rig burst, causing an environmental disaster.
Mr Hayward, whose pay package is ￡4?million a year, then paid off the mortgage on his family’s mansion in Kent, which is estimated to be valued at more than ￡1.2?million.
There is no suggestion that he acted improperly or had prior knowledge that the company was to face the biggest setback in its history.
IT'S crawling with life down there. A remote expedition to the deepest layer of the Earth's oceanic crust has revealed a new ecosystem living over a kilometre beneath our feet. It is the first time that life has been found in the crust's deepest layer, and an analysis of the new biosphere suggests life could exist lower still.
On a hypothetical journey to the centre of the Earth starting at the sea floor, you would travel through sediment, a layer of basalt, and then hit the gabbroic layer, which lies directly above the mantle. Drilling expeditions have reached this layer before, but as the basalt is difficult to pierce it happens rarely.
To facilitate the task, the Integrated Ocean Drilling Programme set its sights on the Atlantis Massif. Tectonic activity beneath this submerged mountain in the central Atlantic Ocean has pushed the gabbroic layer within 70 metres of the sea floor, making it easier to reach (see diagram). A team led by Stephen Giovannoni of Oregon State University in Corvallis drilled down to 1391 metres, where temperatures reach 102 °C.
There, they found communities of bacteria that were sparse but widespread. The type of bacteria they found came as a surprise to Giovannoni, who has previously found micro-organisms living in the basalt layer. "We expected to find similar organisms in the deeper layer," he says. "But actually it was very different."
One key difference was that archaea were absent in the gabbroic layer. Also, genetic analysis revealed that unlike their upstairs neighbours, many of the gabbroic bugs had evolved to feed off hydrocarbons like methane and benzene. This is similar to the bacteria found in oil reservoirs and contaminated soil, which could mean that the bacteria migrated down from shallower regions rather than evolving inside the crust, the team say (PLoS ONE, DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0015399).
"This deep biosphere is a very important discovery," says Rolf Pedersen of the University of Bergen, Norway. He points out that the reactions that produce oil and gas abiotically inside the crust could happen in the mantle, meaning life may be thriving deeper yet.
On Jan. 31, 2001,(the first wave of attack on my thread) one web site I failed to post was Foxnews.com. It's a big firm. So the level of moderator was high too, I suppose. Perhaps they were unwilling to shut down my thread without proper reason. They simply shut down the forum. A message said that "If you are looking for the Foxnews.com and Fox News Channel community message boards, they have been temporarily disabled while we build a new and easier to use format. We'll have them up and running again as soon as we can." This is obviously cover words. The format they had used was a good one which is using now by big firm such like WashingtonPost.com, ..... The promised 'new and easier to use format' never come true. From time to time I went there, found the page of 'temporarily shut down' was still the same, with threads posted on last day (dated Jan. 31) laying there, showed shut down took place abruptly.
Shut down a prosperous message board was by no means an insignificant event. It hurt Fox's fame and popularity. The decision must be from top ranking. It also helped me to strengthen a belief of how FBI control this country.
I learnt that Walter Disney was an informant of FBI. He died in 1960's. I think there were many VIP informant like him worked for FBI. In early 1990, I believe a helicopter accident was a result of a conspiracy of selection for CEO of Disneyland. I had a puzzle then. Whoever selected a CEO would be co-operate with FBI. Why did they select with violence? Unless they needed one whom was more than an informant, that was, a candidate of their own. Walt Disney was an informant, but once he was required to do something which was conflict to the interest of Disneyland, what would he do? He might choose to protect the interest of Disneyland.
HP and Compaq's emerge is a good example of the difference of a CEO and an owner (I can't find proper word for it. I mean someone who has real interest in business.) HP CEO Fiorina proposed to emerge with Compaq, HP heir Hewlett opposes the deal. Fiorina wants to make HP the biggest PC manufacturer. Hewlett think it's too risk to emerge with a rotten business. I think Hewlett is real care for HP's interest. That's because he has big financial interest in HP. (18% of HP's stock) And he has personal feeling on HP. It's a company set up by his father. Same thing like W. Disney to Disneyland. If the deal is a failure, CEO's loss will be much less than him. And she may become a CEO of another big firm.
Through Disneyland's story, I have a feeling that 40 years ago, FBI got VIP of big firm as their informant. 30 years later, they are not satisfy with this, they need a representative of their own interest.
(I have no intention to link HP and Compaq's emerge with FBI at all. It's different from the shut down of message board of Foxnews. I only use it as reference to show that CEO's decision could hurt the company they work for. )
83. Spy country (8/21)
When I started my thread in internet, a message told me, the content of " The newspaper titled: " Heroin bust called U.S. record".(See San Jose Mercury, 6-22-1991)." is a day off...
Quote, "You cited the wrong date! Although the rest of your newspaper and highway information (in Bay Area holds up). "
He gave me an URL to check:
I thus knew my article was under scrutiny. I live in San Jose. I read San Jose Mercury News. Most news reference were from it.
Some people doubted that when I said Walt Disney was an informant. (#29. "I'm you, American")
Question, quote, "What was Walt informing on? Mickey's communist ties? Goofy's drug problems? Minnie's prostitution busts? "
With above URL, choose S.J.M.N, with appropriate key words and time, you can find news I referred.
Quote,"But most disturbing,....is the allegation that Disney was an FBI informant, recruited by J. Edgar Hoover to snitch on employees and Hollywood colleagues in exchange for favors....."
See whole story in "THE AUTHOR WAS WALT DISNEY A WICKED WITCH? OR IS THIS MAN GOOFY?" San Jose Mercury News, 8/1/1993.
In Chinese newspaper "World Journal"(5/7/93, page 3A) talked about this too. W.Disney was FBI's informant from 1940 to 1966 when he passed away. It also talked about former President Ronno Reagan was a FBI informant, code 'T-10', when he was president of Actor and Actress Association(translation) in 1947.
Are these the only informants FBI have had? Of course not. FBI titled W. Disney "Full Special Agent in Charge Contact" in 1954. It's 50 years passed, a net of surveillance should have been developed already. And in addition to this informant net, we can see there is another army of FBI: retired FBI. They are still the eye and ear and hand of the Bureau. And they used to occupy important position. Such like Ornell, who became Chief in charge of security of WTC after retirement. Still they say they are outnumbered in war on terror. They want recruit one million more TIPS. A spy country that Gestapo and KGB have ever dreamed of. A monstrous power that almost equal to Defense Department. But it's not used to defend US citizens, it's used to spy on them.
Why pentagon involved in BP oil leaking pollution? Because the case was created for Iran war. High ranking official of Pentagon of course have to deal with the aftermath of their plot.

The news is now that the oil spill is headed my way and is expected to slowly make its way up the eastern coast. Ive been just kinda following it on the news.

Reef safeguard cut back
Philip Dorling
September 12, 2011
THE federal government has secretly wound back a critical environmental protection for the Great Barrier Reef against shipping accidents in order to avoid a diplomatic stoush with the US and Singapore.
Australian diplomats have privately conceded the political cost of an oil spill would be "immense" and conservationists have called for the government to fix the problem urgently.
Leaked US embassy cables published by WikiLeaks have revealed that the government "weakened" the compulsory pilotage regime for large vessels - including oil tankers, chemical tankers and liquefied gas carriers - sailing through the sensitive maritime environment of the Torres Strait.
Advertisement: Story continues below
Owners and masters of vessels that fail to use a pilot to navigate the narrow and hazardous channel will not face any penalty if they do not subsequently call at an Australian port.
On learning that the Torres Strait pilotage regime was quietly amended 17 months ago, Australian Conservation Foundation chief executive Don
Henry said it was essential all shipping through the strait had pilotage. "This was a wrong move,'' Mr Henry said. ''The government ought to fix this."
Leaked US diplomatic cables reveal the US and Singapore reacted strongly against the then Howard government's October 2006 announcement of a compulsory pilotage regime in the Torres Strait. The scheme was designed to reduce the risk of oil and chemical spills at the northern end of the Great Barrier Reef.
In November 2006, Singaporean ambassador-at-large Tommy Koh told the US ambassador in Singapore that Singapore was "deeply concerned'' that Australia's actions would set a precedent ''seen to allow other coastal states … to encroach on the right of free passage as enshrined in the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea".
Singapore's then foreign minister, George Yeo, wrote to Australia "to complain about the [Australian government's] decision and its negative impact on larger strategic interests".
The leaked cables show the US strongly shared Singapore's concerns. Aside from complaining to Australia, US envoys urged other nations to protest.
The Howard government was unmoved by the complaints. In early 2008 the new Labor government's initial response to Singapore's protests was also uncompromising. But the start of a policy shift soon followed once the US reaffirmed its opposition.
In July 2008, the head of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade's international law branch, assistant secretary Adam McCarthy, conceded to the US embassy in Canberra that "Australia recognises that it has not handled the Torres Strait pilotage issue particularly well" and indicated Canberra was prepared "to explore ways to address US concerns".
Mr McCarthy stressed "the Rudd government understands US and Singaporean concerns … but that it believes it politically impossible to change the mandatory nature of the regime''.
"If there were to be an oil spill after the Rudd Labor government 'weakened' the environmental protections imposed by the Howard government," he said, "the political cost would be immense.''
He said that ''everything is on the table … except the mandatory nature of the regime''. The US said "this is the exact point which we find unacceptable". Mr McCarthy then conceded Australia recognised "the US … will never agree to the current mandatory regime".
After consultations in Washington in August 2008, DFAT sought US agreement to a compromise. This would involve leaving the "compulsory" legal pilotage framework in place while in practice reverting to a voluntary scheme for many vessels by not enforcing penalties against ships that transited the Torres Strait without a pilot but did not call at an Australian port.
Mr McCarthy had previously acknowledged that most large vessels sailing through the strait were on voyages involving an Australian port, but "the problem for Australia is that many of the remaining vessels (132 in 2007) are tankers. These are exactly the vessels that Australia is most worried could be involved in an accident causing environmental damage.''
These concerns were abandoned in the interest of securing US acceptance and heading off a threatened international legal challenge by Singapore.
The US approved of the compromise and the Australian Maritime Safety Authority formalised the change in policy on April 17, 2009. To avoid publicity, the authority's announcement was a single paragraph "marine notice" published at the bottom of a longer notice on a different subject. No statement was made by Transport Minister Anthony Albanese.
Privately, the director of DFAT's sea law section, Damien White, acknowledged to US envoys that the compulsory pilotage regime had been changed "out of a desire to remove a bilateral irritant'' with the US.
Mr McCarthy "stressed that the deal with the United States was an end in and of itself given the nature of the relationship with the United States".
About 900 to 1000 vessels longer than 70 metres sail through the strait each year. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority says it does not keep records of how many visit Australian ports.
The Australian Conservation Foundation's Mr Henry said he hoped the US and Australia would ''think more carefully about putting the Great Barrier Reef at risk.
''It will only take one unpiloted ship to cause great destruction,'' he said.
