ITS RAINING OIL IN NEW ORLEANS, LA.

It's raining oil in New Orleans, La.. Just a few days ago, it was raining oil in Central Texas. You haven't seen anything yet. The damage that is forthcoming from Tropical storms and Hurricanes is going stagger you. Take a good look at EVERYTHING that was covered with OIL that was falling with the rain in Louisiana. Imagine what it is going to look like after a big storm? And then... out come the Sun... and then a match is lite or lightnings strike? Imagine the smell and having to breathe the fumes. Good grief!!

WATCH Louisiana raining oil:

That is truly horrifying. Nothing really scares me, but this could be entire cities like Houston going up in flames with millions of people trapped, burning to death. Not to mention the refineries. God help us.

It is most likely a light with less density than water, which is why it was pulled out of the ocean with the water. Napththa comes to mind.

It is definitely a condensed volatile compound but it is probably not crude.

Crude oil is a composite of many different chemicals, and some would evaporate more readily than others, which I believe is at least one of the basis (basi?) of oil refinement. So what's shown could be the lighter elements that have separated from the crude through evaporation, and then mixing again with air moisture during a rain storm

The video isn't conclusive proof to me as some streets always, of course, have oil on them from cars dripping oil. But if it really does smell like oil everywhere as claimed, then I'd rule out normal oil residue.

This is exactly what the traitors in Washington wanted to happen. This is exactly the kind of environmental crisis that they need to spur that Climate Change legislation through, and it's coming.

The worst part, is that it will get rammed through, and the people will be stupid enough to lick the boot of tyranny. Rather than understand that it was the FAILED leadership by traitors that caused the problem in the first place.

If it came with the rain, then it's crude that's been "distilled" through the atmosphere.

There is a lot of doubt that this video is genuine. There's really no reliable corroboration for it.

If it's residue from the street, then indeed, it's not crude. It's refined.

But if, on the outside chance this is oil from the Gulf sucked up from the atmosphere and deposited on the streets of NOLA, then you really can't call it refined, because refined oil is a product engineered to particular specifications.

There is no long form.

By the way, tar balls washed into the Dania Beach canal today in Broward, Florida

I used to cross that canal in my 4WD Blazer at low tide and play on the beach.

That's where I learned the hard way how to drive through high water without stalling.

I also learned that if it stalls and the exhaust pipe is under water it won't start. Fortunately, an experienced off roader in a 1948 Willys wagon pulled me out and told me what I did wrong....

Oil Spill - Is this a Scam? MUST READ
John's comments - This is more plausible than the Fed's Scare Tactics
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*UPDATE* "Site owner, I appear to be unable to gain access to update my original post. Could you please update it for me, to read as follows: I am requesting, and gathering more intel. I hope to be able to post next week something much more substantial, "a smoking gun" of sorts, that should provide more information, a better direction for those people living in the coastal areas, and those worried for their children's future."

The 'disaster' in the Gulf of Mexico is beyond a false flag; it's an illusion. What I'm about to reveal will more than likely go by the wayside, and the charade will continue. The reason for writing this is not for attention, games, or folly, but to expose the biggest scam in the 21st century, and to relieve some aching hearts. There is no need for fear as this is a staged event. I cannot reveal my sources, they do go straight to the top, but hopefully what I write will echo inside of each person reading this as the truth.

Much of the information I present here cannot be easily verified, fast checked, or ever presented as anything, but hearsay, as they are just words of an anonymous online entity. The Government, corporations, and the people behind them have pulled out all the stops to insure the truth doesn't come out. They are the reason why the beaches have private security contractors, insuring no one is able to gain access to the oil on shore. They are the reason the Gulf of Mexico is a no fly zone. They are the reason why the gulf states are being locked down by military. They are the reason why the well head you see is different in many videos that BP releases. Without this measure of control the illusion would fail. In this post, what I can do is provide leading evidence, or give clues to the truth; from there you can use something that has gone by the way side, common sense.

The large oil spills washing up on the shores are not from BP Deep Horizon. They are indeed from surrounding wells, that were already leaking by design. These wells can be verified through a simple online search. You'll notice that much of the oil is actually in the form of tar. Usually tar balls; sizes of these have reached 2000+ pounds.

From the start, BP, Haliburton, and co-conspirators knew where they were drilling. Using specific equipment, such as the German ship RV Sonne, they had detailed maps of the ocean bottom. The ship, and a specific college study from 2005, in the Gulf of Mexico, are your starting points to what's really happening in the gulf. Here's a link to what the study synopses
geology.about.com/cs/volcanology/a/aa051604a.htm

What BP, Haliburton, and other co-conspirators intentionally drilled into was an Asphalt Volcano. Sounds scary doesn't it? It really is not. In fact, after you read the above link you'll know that the Gulf of Mexico is literally coated in oil, tar, and methane hydrate at the bottom. The study went on to find that massive aquatic life has specifically adapted to living off of the hydrocarbons. That in fact these asphalt volcanoes are a natural part of the ocean ecology, and their eruptions actually benefit the sea life over the long duration of time.

Another aspect to what I was directly told is that BP, Haliburton, and other co-conspirators drilled intentionally into the 'mid side' of this particular asphalt volcano. Basically from what I understand, it is a soda bottle effect. If they had drilled into the top of the volcano, then all the gas would rise out, and explode as would bottled carbonated liquid. The effect of drilling into the side permits a safely controlled release of gas, tar, liquified asphalt, and other related gases. What was done is a more or less controlled release; almost natural in fact!

The Asphalt volcano was a win win situation for this false flag: as it presented the best illusion to all outside parties. Not only do the conspirators need to fool the general public, but also the oil industry, and scientific community. The public is easy to fool, but the latter two groups take a little more effort; this is the main reason why the Gulf is being isolated by security contractors, and military. Anyone well versed on this giant debacle in the Gulf knows that it is surrounded with stories, and claims of negligence. This was the first purposeful aspect to make the story seem credible to all outside parties; as the story is more easily believed, when it is chalked up to human error, or incompetence.

Besides using inferior, shotty, or flat out negligent craftsmanship, as the well was intended to fail from the onset, the conspirators knew that the pressure produced from the volcano would blow out even better equipment. This was the second mechanism to fool other industry experts. All experts, and scientific communities only know what they are told, and that is the well tapped into a large high pressure hydrocarbon pocket. To even a trained eye, what they are being told appears to be a massive oil gusher, when in fact it's a controlled event.

In watching the videos, or live feeds looks horrible, and very ominous, but upon closer examination the tell tale signs of what it really is shows through, what you are actually viewing is a man made(well bore) large "Black Smoker". You should take note, as the evidence has built, the live feed appears to have been tampered with. I suspect it is because of the video below. The man narrating the video has it correct, it is a volcano! But those aren't flames. From the link provided above, they are a combination of gases; specifically Sulfur, and Iron are what create the flame effect. Since the airing of that video, several of the live feeds have been proven to be tampered footage, or faked.

www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3Den9CoYb0OHs

You need to realize that an illusion is only as good as it's weakest link. All scientific evidence on paper coming from the government, and corporations is being fudged. In the case of this staged, and controlled event that weak link is the oil, or more specifically the tangible tar that can be collected. As I mentioned much of the oil that has been seen, or noticed is tar rather than heavy crude oil. Out at sea closest to the Deep Horizon site, "shrimpers" have been hired to boom the oil/tar together, and set it ablaze. There are several huge fires right now out in the Gulf. The reason is for this is to hide the evidence. The distinct asphalt volcano tar, is actually coated with naturally produced oil eating microbes, and other natural safe guards produced by Mother Earth; these types of organisms are not present in a regular oil well, but commonly in the Asphalt Volcanoes, and large tar flows at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico.

To continue with why the asphalt volcano was a win win to drill into, is the heaviness of the tar. Read the linked article provided above, the tar will cling to lighter oil, and fall to the bottom of the Gulf at some point, near in the future. Also, the microbes, and other organisms that naturally occur from this will multiply. They will not only eat the tar, but the other control released oil that they are pumping into the Gulf.

We've all seen the videos of beaches not lined so much with oil, but with tar balls of varying sizes. Also, we've all noticed BP's overall lack of concern for cleanup. We've seen booms which aren't tied together. We've heard first hand account of staged clean ups on the beaches. As soon as a press conference, or media event is done BP stops work. The reason is simple, it's not that they don't care, but that they already know what's gonna happen. The oil will start naturally being cleaned up via decomposition, oil eating organisms, and falling to the already naturally tar covered bottom of the Gulf of Mexico.

What's the benefit of this scam? MONEY, and population control. Read this article theintelhub.com/2010/06/18/gulf- ... ized-plan/ If you're still reading this article, and even beginning to grasp the sinister nature of the fraud being perpetrated, then you'll realize that the corexit9500, and other dispersant's are not needed. They are purposely being sprayed by Evergreen Air/CIA to cull the population along the Gulf Coast.

Also, explained to me, is the large amount of useless eaters, pond scum, or undesirables living along the gulf coast. These would be the Americans living off of the government. I will not beat around the bush with pleasantries, or politically correct statements here. This coastal area from Texas to Florida has the highest, or most dense population of targets of illimination by the US Govt., and corporations. These are the populations living on welfare(in this area dominated by African Americans), and the older population living on Social Security(mainly Florida). These people are going to start dropping like flies over the next few years, and greatly reduce the burden to government coffers.

In this respect this is a doomsday event, but it's not the end of the food chain, death of the oceans, or as some have warned an extinction level event. It's only bad for the targeted populations.

To cover the money aspects of this fraudulent event, are somewhat self evident. Primarily, as President Obama (note he's not very worried, think about it) has just pointed out, they are using this false flag to move forward with the Carbon Tax, followed by Cap, and Trade. Another aspect of profit is the clean up of this disaster; those boats aren't running around for free in the Gulf. From there, is the very real aspect of banks calling their notes on the remaining mortgaged properties along the Gulf, and peninsula of Florida. Remember Katrina? They never gave the land back, but sold it to casinos, and other businesses. Almost all beach front property will end up in the hands of the banks, and government. They'll play this disaster off for a few years, and explain the mysterious disappearance of oil on kindness from mother nature.

The side effects of this scam are negligible; in the eyes of the perpetrators, they've done nature a favor. They've opened up an asphalt volcano from the side, and will shut it down in the next few months by equalizing the pressure. The equalization of pressure will come by way of the two relief wells; which are not wells, but vents. when they do this, I have no clue what excuse they'll use, but the current gusher will stop. I said stop, it will not slow down, but literally stop. Remember, all they have done is aided nature in something that is a very common, and naturally occurring event at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico.

That's about all I have to say. I will pop in to answer any if at all questions. The reason I came forward with this information is that I myself was worried about the level of this event. Honestly, knowing the reasoning of what, why, and how has given me peace. Anyone who has family anywhere near where they are spraying these chemicals need to alert their family to leave; they are the target of this false flag. To anyone who finds credence, or a shred of truth in what I've written, please pass this on; as we all are the target on the grand scale. The target by way of the coming carbon tax, cap, and trade.

God Bless,

Extremely interesting post. You should post it as an article, it seems like it could well be the REAL reason for the "oil spill" and explains the apparent lack of urgency both BP and the US government have displayed thus far..

It's sort of like the H1N1 scare on a massive scale, along with the "vaccine", in this case Corexit, being worse than the virus itself.

Addtionally, all of those FEMA vehicles in Florida didn't just arrive, they've been planning this for awhile now apparently.

I just posted a related article from five years ago:

Oil Fields Are Refilling...Naturally - Sometimes Rapidly

My computer is behaving so badly, it hasn't posted the URL. You're welcome to post this as an article. I don't think I want to attempt it at the moment.

I agree it's an important article; I am grateful to the one who wrote it. I wasn't connecting the dots, but now it makes more sense.

This might explain the swat teams. I read somewhere, and it may have been on 4um, that CIA/Mossad had assassination teams on American soil now. I don't remember their general targets, but I remember that their specific targets were those who knew too much about BP. The article showed a group of about 30-50 people, and I recognized one of them as the red-haired, female, Mossad agent you-all were talking about a while back. I don't remember what that story was about, because I was surprised at someone's surprise that she looked so "Gaelic". If you ever look at a gaggle of Hasidic rabbis, you'll usually find a red-head or two. I went off on a tangent, and I think my computer crashed and I lost everything.

Yeah well, the critical word here is "appears."

There certainly seems to be more oil on the street than you see driven up out of the asphalt where leaky cars are driven after a heavy rain. I've seen similar sights in the desert where I doesn't rain for ten months, and then there's a sudden downpour. But NOLA is not in the desert, and that is a lot of oil showing there. The foamy stuff looks alarming too.

Never-the-blinking-less, look as I might on search sites, I cannot get a grip on any corroboration of this story. I did find some posts on blogs where Florida residents say that rains came with drops of oil that was deposited on their cars, but I can find no back up on what is said to be happening on this video.

Pentane, hexane and heptane have boiling points below 100°C and are liquid at room temperature. These hydrocarbons and others of similar weight might be capable of evaporating with water and condensing with rain, so I don't go along with the blanket debunking of this thing.

What bugs me here is the thing that gets me about this whole disaster, and that's the absence of reliable, authoritative information about what seem to be an emerging life-threatening catastrophe.

There is no long form.

This sounds very inconsistent with all we've heard so far about the spill. An "Asphalt volcano"? I've never heard of any such thing at all.

Anonymous sources, info straight from the top..... I'd have to hear some verification of these things from elsewhere. Until then, I'd dismiss it.

It seems rumors about the spill are in no short supply, and it's certainly true that there are plenty of people willing to make stuff up about any item that's in the news, for whatever self benefiting reasons. That's unfortunate as it makes it all the harder to separate fact from fiction.

They certainly didn't show a whole lot of evidence for it.

Did you check the reference section?

You're welcome.

As far as who knew, I certainly didn't till I read post #19 then looked up some info on it.

It's odd that the MSM isn't reporting on this one bit, isn't it?

Here's another link to a scientific paper on it...

I always thought that was a fairly deep canal. It's 12 feet deep by our marina around noon. How did you get through it?!

Crossing at a narrow point during low tide some 36 years ago. It may not be possible now.

I looked at the satellite photo and I realize that what I crossed was a tiny tidal ditch, not the canal. There's a bridge over the canal, and the beach around Lloyd State Park wasn't so built up back in 1974.

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one.

Very good and thank you.

I don't even know if that port was built back when I was a young musician playing down there.
