It’s been labeled the worst environmental disaster in world history, and rightfully so, because the British Petroleum (BP) oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is like the nightmarish gift that keeps on giving. BP and the United States government would have the public believe that all is well in the Gulf. Nothing could be further from the truth. The crisis is not only ongoing; its effects are worsening

The April 20, 2010 the Deep Water Horizon Explosion will be back in the news again. The explosion of this oil rig represents the biggest false flag event in history; the devastation of this false flag event is still being felt and the worst is yet to come. You may have heard about the explosions near the New Madrid Fault and the thousands of generators being shipped to Louisiana by FEMA. Soon all readers of this series will connect the BP oil spill to these recent current events.

Over 34 months later, the oil spill has destroyed the welfare, livelihoods, health and futures of tens of millions of Gulf Coast residents, not to mention the destruction of the fragile ecology in the Gulf of Mexico.

Originally, BP was ordered to initiate $20 billion in restitution to the Gulf Coast victims. In retrospect, BP has never made full restitution to the victims. The overall physical health of the region has been decimated and the mainstream media and government officials reaching as high as President Obama have been complicit in covering up the geological and medical magnitude of the event. Even to this day, BP is still covertly carpet bombing Corexit in the Gulf and the much of the environmental catastrophe remains untouched by the BP cleanup crews.

This new series will expose the fact that BP, Halliburton, Goldman Sachs, Transocean and David Rockefeller’s and the Queen of England’s New York City for Profit members had foreknowledge and hedged their stock market bets in anticipation of the event. In other words, I will present incontrovertible evidence that this event was planned in order to achieve multiple goals in order to further agenda of certain special interests. Further, this series will also expose the fact that the evidence complied from the Executive Filings of President Obama indicates that it is likely that he had foreknowledge of the impending catastrophe in the Gulf. Additionally, this series will demonstrate that the events in the Gulf are part of a regional depopulation scheme. Readers will also learn that the ongoing nature of this false flag event will contribute to the total transition of the American economy to a cap-and-trade system which has been championed by Obama and Valerie Jarrett, from several years ago, which culminated in Obama, a supposed outsider, capturing the Presidency with very little political experience.

Starting at the beginning, it was clear that BP was going to be used as the symbolic fall guy in order to usher a new set of dynamics to the Gulf. However, the powers that be provided BP with a “soft landing” with regard to the potential punitive actions brought against BP.

Every story has a beginning, so let’s review how, what will prove to be the biggest false flag event in the history of our country, unfolded.

Destitution Rather Than Restitution

You remember Ken Feinberg, don’t you? This is the same Ken Feinberg who was in charge of denying medical coverage to 9/11 first responders, which resulted in the premature deaths of many of 9/11′s first responders because of the lack of sufficient medical treatment from claims denied by him. As you read the following paragraphs, you will be shocked as to how history has been allowed to repeat itself.

BP has shamelessly used the event to falsely promote its generosity toward the residents of the Gulf by providing full restitution for tiny minority of residents, thus restoring its public image in the mind of the average American couch potato who believes everything they see on television.

Following the Gulf oil spill, there was a collective mainstream media frenzy which focused on how well BP was responding to the crisis. This was accompanied by BP’s incessant public service announcements in which the oil giant would feature one of their “average” employees professing to being a “local” in which they vowed, on behalf of BP, “to not leave until we make it right.”

All Is Well, Go Back To Sleep American Sheep

Is all well in the Gulf today? After 34 months, did BP make it right? There are two answers to this question, no and hell no! According to BP’s YouTube channel, BP has made complete restitution to the victims of the oil spill and all is indeed well and the American public should be willing to move on to other issues and forget about the Gulf.

BP’s YouTube video channel does make a compelling case that the Gulf is well on its way to a full recovery. Bryan and Brooke Zar, the owners of Restaurant des Families located in Crown Point Louisiana, claim that BP restored their restaurant to a level of profitability just in time for the 2011 spring break vacation period and that “the beaches are again clean”.

The gulf crisis and Fukushima are both teetering and either could destroy enough life to make the GA Guidesones hope for a greater than 80% reduction of people a reality.

If both floors collapse then the genetic diversity that makes THE THIRD ROCK FROM THE SUN so popular with off planet post grads and profiteers may have little more than mutant cannibals, fossils, glowing roaches and unholy compost heaps to invite curiosity or exploitation.

The people who have access to this information like the sense of being unique and privileged. That’s the psychology of secret organizations and why they flourish. Privileged information is the ambrosia of elitists. It gives them a sense of power, and the human ego loves to feed from the trough of power.

Gulf spill spooked investors into selling BP, bringing price down below $30/share. BP "insiders" knowing the company's potential from other operations would be able to pick up stock, now trading at $40.60, 11x EPS. Market cap of BP is $130-billion, compares with Exxon $400-billion.

It's my understanding that the floor of the gulf may crumble under the enormous pressure of the bazillions of cubic yards of natural gas beneath it. In fact, the perthun responsible for opening the primary gate valve that set off the unfortunate chain of events knew or was fairly certain that the emergency shutoff valve would not close with such an unholy back pressure (in excess of 100,000 lbs PSI) against it.

The main valve was improperly tested and it too was not rated for such a high pressure application. (In fact no valves are) But, in the interest of the stockholders (old Euro munny) he grabbed for all the gusto and rolled the dice. After all, there was no danger of ruining the Queen's cherished rose bushes and our eco disaster is out of sight and out of mind. (Hoo cares if the rebellious colonies collapse from a calculated risk that would have sustained many British pension plans had it paid off?)

The gulf floor seems to be cracking and crumbling and there's no simple way or existing technology that will form an effective seal for the leaks that could eventually turn the world's oceans into bubbling tar pits. A cup of oil will taint an entire ship full of drinking water. And, BP's denials notwithstanding I believe the company is still spreading oodles of toxic Corexit on visible oil plumes, and the world's petrol experts are clueless about how to deal with this potential ELE.

If the gulf dies then the world dies.

Perhaps an armed march on Washington would inspire the great ones to apply all of their energies to the two looming threats to humankind. But, that would involve roughing it on the road for an indeterminate period and Americans don't like to be away from their comfy beds.

One guy I know thinks he has an answer. He said, "I'm gonna write that nigger a letter!"

I'm picturing the giant Blue Marlin that spend their entire lives in blue water far from land as they flash brilliant colors in pursuit of prey. A magnificent fish that are so powerful that one fisher was yanked from his harness and seat after hooking one, his drowned remains never to be recovered....

"In Ernest Hemingway's novella The Old Man and the Sea a fisherman named Santiago battles an Atlantic blue marlin for three days off the coast of Cuba."

If their colors are dulled and meat tainted with Corexit and oil then it may be the end for The Gulf Stream-fed Atlantic Ocean. And our stewardship of Planet Earth may be forfeited in the eyes of The Creator.

They worry me because of one thing; there are people in positions of influence who would work their will upon the world if they could.

And, the responsible party (or parties) for the Guidestones had the full cooperation of the county where they're located and possibly the state. (Rubert Murdoch? Ted Turner?)

Of course. And he never wavered from a course of action in complete sympathy with BP's plight just as he would have as a dutiful United States Senator.

When in doubt he simply follows the rules he was taught in the House Of Lords, and they continue to serve him well. (In the view of corporate America, and who/what else matters?) He was not controversial (think: Al Sharpton, who may someday be the first man to be stabbed in the Senate cloakroom) and His Excellency never sponsored any blacknocentric legislation or any other nonsensical distractions from the business of America, which is business.

He is well steeped in the religion which proselytizes that "the gently regulated private sector is the better steward of our resources, and pay no attention to the missing mountain tops or where they pile the dirt, bubbling aquifers and/or streams that begin to fizz like Alka Seltzer...."

The Good People Of The Gulf have been written off. The poisoned oil; The lost industry that produced the loaves and fishes that fed the multitudes; The giant sinkhole formerly known as Louisiana; The Good People Of The Gulf are gator chow in the unspoken understanding between BP and His Excellency's Privy Council.

well, we're gonna have to watch the longevity figures of people who still live in the gulf and still eat seafood from the gulf.

if they all start dying off when they're kids, or if they're born with three eys and five legs, or if they start developing running sores that wont heal... well, then we'll know, wont we?

yup, it'll be the end of the world.

same with fukushima

.

meanwhile, i guess, we should acknowledge that people are human and they make mistakes... even big corporations like BP and exxon are run by people, and people make mistakes...

...but, if we insist on consuming so much oil, then we're gonna have to put up with these mistakes...

party on, dudes... it was great while it lasted, wasnt it? ...and we'll all be dead long before the party debris starts killing off humanity.

so... no worries, party on

connolly badgered me into extending my overseas tour for six months to go to japan, and i did it... then he badgered me into going to hiroshima for a weekend, and i did that, too.

typical marine excursion... we toured the bars of hiroshima.

we wound up with this japanese guy, geeky-looking guy, apologetic about his english, which was horrible, and we wandered the early morning streets in the entertainment district, he's pointing out geisha houses and trying to tell us some story about a mysterious japanese lady, beautiful lady, tragic lady in some way i never fathomed... and i never quite figured out if she was a geisha or not...

but it was a magical sort of night, full of mystery and great drunken attempts to communicate...

later we went to the hiroshima memorial, and read the remarks there in the log book, remarks from other vacationing marines, which mostly consisted of stuff like, "served those jap bastards right!"

made me proud to be an american, especially since we didnt run into any holocaust survivors with three eyes

some kind of big trees all around, a firing squad hidden back there somewhere, doing a however-many-gun salute, and collier cried... connolly lost a tail rotor spraying strawberries

i didnt cry, didnt feel much of anything, but at the wake in the bar, i announced to the marine/air america buddies that i was getting a divorce... i'd been thinking about it for a while

later, my ex-wife said i was the sanest man she knew, maybe because she knew she was infertile

.

this bullshit story has gotten me to thinking about dead friends, and thinking about dead friends pisses me off

The recent leaking of the NOAA charts showing how much of the West has been blanketed with Cesium does not make for cheery reading.

And yes, the PTB want this to continue which is why mitigation in the Gulf and at Fuckishima have been intentionally ineffective.

Indigenous Land: Canada’s Toxic Storehouse

In the news today we often hear stories about indigenous communities setting up blockades to protest government policies and to protect their lands, rights, and traditions.

In reading statements these communities issue to the public, we can see that they’re standing on the edge of an abyss: expected to remain silent while corporations (with the governments full consent) destroy everything they hold sacred and everything that makes them unique.

The corporations proceed without remorse or regard for the People they impact. They just want to get at the “free resources.”

In turn, the People say they have no choice but to try and stop it–and indeed they don’t, because their inaction would mean accepting a death brought on by men who sleep a little too well at night.

That said, we’re halfway through 200, and so far this year, we’ve seen more than 5 dozen protests, roadblocks and countless lawsuits brought forward in defense of Indigneous lands and rights. The number will continue to rise as long as the federal and provincial governments refuse to uphold their legal mandate by engaging in meaningful consultations with Indigenous People – and in so doing, respecting their right to say no, and their right to live in peace with their cultures, lands and traditions intact.

"I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it." - William S Burroughs
