Title: Is The Gulf Oil Spill The False Flag We've Been Expecting?

The question I want to present for discussion and thought is: Is the gulf oil spill an intentional event?

My thought process runs something like this:

Another 911 fake terror event would not, at this time, work. Such an event might actually spark an open revolution, and it would have to be on a scale large enough to eclipse 911 in order to have enough impact to shock people into numbness again. As well it would have to be flawless this time as the 911 event has been so thoroughly shown to have been an inside job that they, the Banksters and their flunkies, dare leave no fingerprints this time.

I note that "Halliburton" (as well as BP - British Petroleum), a known operation of the NWO cabal, had been "working" on the rig at the time the blowout and fire happened. From what I have read one of the things they were servicing is the mechanism to shut the flow off in case of emergency. The "failsafe" did not work and is unresponsive, allegedly, to any attempt to trigger it.

Also surfacing is the picture of the aluminum heli-pad with a hole burned in it. It is unlikely that an oil fire would do that. However, Magnesium does burn hot enough.

At this point in time, according to "leaked" reports, the "gusher", under tons of pressure, could increase in volume. We already have a slick the size of New Jersey. There is high likelihood that this spill will have a global impact affecting shorelines around the planet. One of the results is likely contamination, and decimation, of fish and seafood stocks. This will, in turn, have an impact on the global food supply resulting in famine in some areas, decreased economic activity, and increased death rates among shoreline communities (and indirectly in areas away from the shoreline which dependent upon the seafood industry either for food or economically).

Another impact is on the global oil/energy supply which will result in less supply and higher prices. This in turn affects agriculture and food prices. It also affects the ability to bring crops to market.

In turn this will affect industrial production and related jobs.

An environmental catastrophe of this magnitude will have a rippling affect throughout the globe and seems "tailor made" for those pushing a politically based enviromentally apocalyptic agenda.

Thus, given the participants in this disaster, I am floating the question: Was it an accident or by design?

At this point I draw no conclusions, and am making no assertion that it was intentional, merely that the players and consequences make it worthy of a closer examination. It could simply have been an "accident". Then again it seems plausible that it might not have been an "accident".

Why don't they just shut it off? Close it?

The elitists unfortunately follow Nietzsche, instead of Machiavelli. That is a tragedy because it will mean more death and destruction before the elitists are stopped.

Among the ultimate failings of Nietzshe is that "no man is an island". In his neurotic myopia he mistook the one dimensional welfare of the individual with ultimate good and survival. Yes, the individual needs to survive, but in that survival he lies within an interdependant web of self, family, group, humanity, animal and plant kind, the physical universe, self as a spirit, and God. All must be in alignment for survival and welfare to be optimized. Nietzsche was a short sighted crank.

Because they can't, or so it is alleged. The emergency shut off valve, located at the deepwater wellhead, (and worked on by Helliburton) is not responding. So, the oil, under tons of pressure geologically, is being spurted up through the hole in the bedrock (the well) and flooding into the ocean.

As I understand it, it was activated and did actually work, but then the rig itself collapsed and it gave way. At least that's what I heard.

guess who said the following....

For the world as a whole, oil companies are expected to keep finding and developing enough oil to offset our seventy one million plus barrel a day of oil depletion, but also to meet new demand.

By some estimates there will be an average of two per cent annual growth in global oil demand over the years ahead along with conservatively a three per cent natural decline in production from existing reserves. That means by 2010 we will need on the order of an additional fifty million barrels a day.

So where is the oil going to come from?

would that maybe explain why these guys are drilling 200 miles offshore in two miles of water?

Well sure, it's not responding *now*. :)

I was just noting that they did activate it initially before this became a story, so it's not like they sat there on their thumbs.

This is all based on things I've heard though, it must be considered speculative at best at this point.

While many regions of the world offer great oil opportunities, the Middle East with two thirds of the world’s oil and the lowest cost, is still where the prize ultimately lies...

how hard would it have been to talk this guy into an operation that would give him access to middle east oil, the acquisition costs ---in blood and money--- to be paid by the american taxpayer?

Understood. The situation is still evolving. However, the rule of thumb on events like this is that the most truthful information usually is contained in the early reports before they put a lit on it and control the information flow.

those "SWAT" teams were teams of inspectors from the MMS.

the wingnuts jumped on obama's speech and blew the swat team thing up into a big bunch of bullshit.

and now we gotta suffer through the same bullshit here, because you guys are too goddamned lazy to do your homework.

INTERIOR DEPARTMENT: The department deployed SWAT teams from the Minerals Management Service to inspect 30 drilling rigs operating in the deepwater sections of the Gulf of Mexico.

Inspections should be completed within the next week, according to an Interior Department spokeswoman.

Inspectors will check to see whether the rigs have conducted blow-out preventer tests and inspect related records, the spokeswoman said. The teams will also verify that emergency well control exercises are taking place.

Inspectors will then inspect 47 deep-water production platforms in the gulf, a process that will take longer than rig inspections because of the complexities of the structures.

That is a head scratcher. Nothing tells us why, but the one thing we can conclude is that it is not a "normal operating procedure" activity. Coast Guard yes, but SWAT no. SWAT is basically a paramilitary operation. It strongly suggests something deeper is at play. What that something is has not yet become public. It is worth looking at peripheral reports to glean any snippets which give a clue as to what is going on there.

Just thinking - the Coast Guard is oriented toward rescue and interdiction in coastal waters. SWAT teams are used for taking control of an area/situation. So the function of a SWAT team does offer a clue i.e., control. But control for what purpose and to what end? That is the puzzler.

Entirely possible. Gain control, and then use that control to "collect" evidence - and then bury it.

Right wingers fuel outlandish Obama, SWAT takeover theories raw story Friday, April 30th, 2010

Perhaps the right is rattled by the SWAT team they believed had been called up to disperse a tea party demonstration in Quincy, IL, but which turned out to be local police in body armor clearing the street to enable President Obama's motorcade to pass through. But whatever the cause, they're now seeing the specter of SWAT teams everything.

On Friday afternoon, for example, a headline at the Drudge Report proclaimed, "Obama Sends SWAT Teams to Oil Rigs..."

It linked to a CBS News story from the previous day which reported, "Mr. Obama, speaking at an event for the 2010 National Teacher of the Year, said he had been receiving frequent briefings on the situation and that he is prepared to use the resources of the Department of Defense if necessary to deal with the oil spill. ... Mr. Obama said SWAT teams were being dispatched to the Gulf to investigate oil rigs and said his administration is now working to determine the cause of the disaster."

Rush Limbaugh had already pounced on this story and woven it into a conspiracy theory . He told his audience on Thursday, "I didn't hear this myself, but I have been informed that President Obama is sending SWAT teams to the Gulf oil rigs. SWAT teams? I'm waiting on audio sound bite confirmation of this, but why in the world would you send SWAT teams to Gulf oil rigs? Oh, I know! Obama probably thinks the tea party blew up the rig. That's what it is. (laughing) ... We had this call from a guy out there who said nobody's talking about whether this was an act of sabotage because I guess they can't prove it, but they're going to send SWAT teams down there?"

Drudge did not link to any more current story to provide a better explanation of the president's remarks, but a Friday column by Ed O'Keefe at the Washington Post, which explains, "The department deployed SWAT teams from the Minerals Management Service to inspect 30 drilling rigs operating in the deepwater sections of the Gulf of Mexico. Inspections should be completed within the next week, according to an Interior Department spokeswoman. Inspectors will check to see whether the rigs have conducted blow-out preventer tests and inspect related records."

I took groundresonance off bozo to figure out what he is saying about the swat teams. It looks as though perhaps Obama was using the term 'SWAT' loosely in describing team(s) of government inspectors.

While I have nothing solid to go on I tend to lean in that direction. It "smells" funny. As you say it is a convenient time, and timing is everything. So, I just ask "cui bono" and it comes up "the usual suspects".

Let me rephrase.

Why was it so clearly and publicly announced is a better way of putting it. They were the first "response" words out of Obeyme's mouth (12 days after the event of course).

The normal procedure for a cover up would have been to *not* announce such actions (announce instead innocuous investigation teams), do a full SWAT raid, deny reports that SWAT was there, villify and belittle anybody claiming differently, construct a conspiracy mantel around the entire subject such that those who came forward with proof of SWAT were immediately labeled kooks, and thereby discredit and truly hide everything.

I skimmed this, didn't have time to read all the comments. Your theory is most plausible, IMO.

BP is most likely controlled by Barclay's of London [according to http://greatreddragon.com ]. Google Barclay's and Rothschild. Also note they both have the eagle as their logo. See the battle of the two eagles in Ezekiel 17:1-10. The first eagle is God. The second one is Lucifer, of which Rothschild, and CorpUSA et al are symbols. The (battle) field is America.

See the http://scepterofjudah.net and "British Israel" at redicecreations or anywhere else. They are still trying to bring in their Zionist New World Order to be ruled by the British Monarchy, or member of their Illuminati/Satanic bloodline". They have to destroy Christian America in order to do this [see my tagline]. See Death of the Phoenix at http://watch.pair.com , Psalm 2 [they lose]. See Micah 4:11 bible.cc/micah/4-11.htm ]. "Nations" can also be translated "HEATHENS", according to Strong's concordance. "Defiled" means corrupted [look at what they've done with Hollywood, for just one example], and also polluted. You can bet they are sitting in their ivory towers in The City, and gloating.

The population reduction program fits in perfectly with their plans to bring their contrived "Great Tribulation" to the world [see "Preparing God's poeple for the Great Tribulation" at http://scepterofjudah.net , a Rothschild site], or CHAOS, in order to bring in their Zionist New World Order.

That's all I have time to say at the moment [lucky you and everyone else!].

p.s. please also see "lordmayorsshow gog and magog". Have to go!

It was either an accident or sabotage made to look like an accident.

I agree.

In retrospect BP's systematic avoidance of mandated safety measures may seem obvious as the primary cause, but at the time they probably thought they were sidestepping useless bureaucratic encumbrances.

The emergency flow-stop valve failure was clearly not anticipated. It's also the reason why so many other critical systems have built-in redundancy.

Needless to say the on site federal inspector will be "punished", probably with a boost in his civil service pay grade, an office party and then forced retirement.

It just doesn't matter if they're federal SEC regulators, city and/or port authority fire inspectors who check fireproofing/insulation in high rises or offshore oil rig safety equipment specialists, and it doesn't matter how costly the consequences of their negligence. They never suffer from having all the authority and none of the responsibility.
