Here's something I wrote last month for some mates living along the gulf coast just to scare the ***** outta them....must add after good few glasses of wine!! That said a lot of it is possible, hence my concern for them albeit disguised as dramatics! "POSSIBLE EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENT IN PROGRESS!! Basically we've always believed oil is formed from decayed organic matter (plants, animals, etc) but in the 90's the Russians discovered that there is a much deeper source of oil.....deep within the earth's mantle. They called this oil abiotic oil which was formed by the physical compression of hydrogen, carbon dioxide, etc at GREAT pressure. This oil then leached higher up the mantle to give us our pockets of oil that we've been drilling for the last 100 or so years. The Russians on discovering this and after successfully tapping into this "almost infinite" source went on to drill more than 300 such wells......but all ON LAND, where the crust would provide stability, etc. I personally believe that even they were wrong to try this as nature is an example of perfection and if oil is that deep, its probably there for a reason....maybe to serve as a lubricant for the earth's tectonic plates...who knows? Why were'nt we lemmings told about this bountiful source of oil?.....maybe cause it would cause the immediate demise of one of the most powerful complexes on earth....the oil cooperations....once again who knows? Despite warnings of dire consequences BP together with the corrupt greedy political elite went ahead and drilled 22000 feet into the Gulf sea bed into the belly of "mother earth" to tap into one of the largest oil gas reserves ever discovered. once they bore thr' km's of rock that kept this resorvoir in check, they experienced a pressure that current human technology could not handle, it was *****ing a giant balloon and the oil and gas just shot out at a pressure of 60000psi/ sq. inch causing the Deepwater Horizon platform to blow up instantaneously and kill 11 on board. BP knew from day one that basically the point of no return has come and that there is nothing in their *****nal of technology to seal this off (except maybe a nuke which is exactly what the Russians used when something similiar happened on land years ago). Now I believe and this is conjecture on my behalf as well as scientists much more knowledgable than myself that the entire sea bed is rupturing and pissing oil and gas everywhere, not just at wellhead as BP would have us believe. Basically they is a huge bubble of methane and oil pushing up against the seafloor causing it to bend and lead to certain "tipping point" when it will blow through with a force of biblical proportion. I say conjecture above because BP and the US military have enforced a no go zone around the entire region including no investigations, photos or even interviews with workers. they have also refused help from the Dutch, Russia and other countries. To explain the ramifications of the above scenario is something even Hollywood could'nt dream up! Once the Methane bubble breaks thr' it will immediately sink everything including fish within a 50 mile radius as the water will lose it's bouancy and become oxygen depleted. (this was happening for years on a smaller natural scale...hence this region is called the BERMUDA TRIANGLE!).Any ignition of the escaped methane in the atmosphere (like lightening) wll cause a literal firestorm that will take out the entire gulf region. This will be quickly followed by a tsunami about 200 foot high that will literally wash over Florida. Thats the immediate effects....long term we will be all screwed as this methane and oil makes its way around the earths oceans and airways causing acid rain, dead oceans, u name it! Since the explosion on the 20th April, Lindsay Louhan has got more press coverage than this disaster by mainstream media and I kept on asking myself why? Thinking about it if I were in power and knew the above....would I tell anyone.....NOOOO! Because that would cause an instantaneous global market crash, pandemonium and god knows what else. But what really scared the ***** outta me was when I discovered that basically the entire US Navy based in the gulf is being moved to Costa Rica to help fight the war on drugs.....yeh drugs!!!....not Mexico, Columbia but little known Costa Rica and all this in the middle of the greatest envrironmental disaster known to man. Funny thing is I did'nt find a shred of news of this troop movement on BBC and CNN.......WHY!!!!! BTW looking as the map, Costa Rica wiould be perfect for protection against a possible calamity but not too far from continental US. Its palusible that the world from now onwards (if there still is one left!) will be divided into 2 periods...pre-spill and post spill. You got to admire the poetry of the whole situation though, wherein oil which forms the basis of our consumeristic lives will serve as the catalyst to propel some of us to a new level of consiousness, which is what 2012 is really about."
