Gulf of Incredibility

 

and the Oilpocalypse

 

Volcano

By Robert L. Pritchett

An Accident Waiting to Happen

 

Why did this happen in the first place? The Environmentalists forced the oil industry to drill offshore in deep water via government manipulation. Who is funding them? Follow the money.

Hollywood could not have made a better disaster-movie-in-the-making. Think “blowback” for “Drill, Baby Drill!” And remember what day this disaster occurred? April 20, 2010. Earthday. Symbolic. Deepwater Horizon oil spill

 

Oh, and just how big is your "Carbon Footprint" now? I bet it isn't as big as this Gulf of Mexico hydrocarbon fiasco.

Where is the hue and cry of the Environmentalists, now that this manufactured “crisis” has occurred? “They” are pushing for Cap-and-Trade legislation (carbon tax) and are in the process of bankrupting the oil industry for a government takeover (think vehicle manufacturing industry, medical industry, banking industry, etc). But it is all for a good cause, right? If our carbon footprint is so damaging to the environment, where are the Environmentalists on the overall carbonization of the Gulf of Mexico? Wringing their hands and sending in the lawyers to find blame and collect fees. (Or perhaps they are still fixated on the personal life of Al Gore, their patron saint, like deer in the headlights.)

Responses

 

Remember that the wellhead under consideration has a pressure of 100,000 psi to 165,000 psi. There are other oil and gas leaks from the fractured floor of the Gulf of Mexico as well. Most of these "Responses" are mostly monitoring the consequences, instead of resolving the cause.

We were warned this kind of thing would happen in the “last days”;

 

Morm. 8: 31, 36, 38 Yea, it shall come in a day when there shall be great apollutions upon the face of the earth; there shall be bmurders, and robbing, and lying, and deceivings, and whoredoms, and all manner of abominations; when there shall be many who will say, Do this, or do that, and it cmattereth not, for the Lord will duphold such at the last day. But wo unto such, for they are in the egall of bitterness and in the fbonds of iniquity.

 

Rev. 8: 9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

 

Rev. 16: 3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.

How do you stop volcanic flow? You really can't cap a volcano. but you can releave pressure - maybe. That is why relief wells are being drilled nearby...

However, the original site piping is beginning to fail, due to fractures in the piping itself.

 

Fuse the strata with glassified material with a nuclear device. It's been done before.

Clean Up Solutions – Treating the Symptoms, Not the Cause

 

We are a “can do” people. As long as we decide to not rely on government to resolve all problems (they cause), we can correct problems ourselves without government intervention (blockage). However, there are reports of shrimpers who attempted to use hay bails as barriers on the water to protect their farmlands were arrested for doing so. Why?

 

Michael Harrington (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) wrote to me regarding NO1-1 as a bioremediation solution;

“As the crisis in the Gulf continues to worsen, increasingly the application of crude oil consuming bacteria is being suggested. However, proponents of bioremediation are largely unfamiliar with an obscure strain that has been frozen for the last fifteen years at the University of Washington and almost forgotten – NO1-1.

 

When it came to eating oil, NO1-1 was an exceptionally rare superstar. It was successfully revived on June 4th.

 

Identified and characterized by the Bioremediation Consortium of the University of Washington in 1995, as part of a $5 M grant from the U.S. Navy, NO1-1 was found on the rocks in Prince William Sound after the Exxon Valdez release. As described in the Bioremediation paper (co-authored by the EPA; limited reprint permission has been provided by the publisher), NO1-1 was one of several bacterial strains that had been collected from different oil producing sites around the world, most of which were extracted directly from inside the crude oil itself.

 

Unlike the other bacteria examined (or bacterial consortiums), NO1-1 has conclusively demonstrated a unmatched ability to convert crude oil into CO2 and water:

 

·      Emulsification occurs within three days (the need for chemical dispersant would be eliminated)

·      All n-alkanes (and more) are metabolized in 10 days

 

Quoting from the summary section of the Bioremediation paper;

” The organisms that we have isolated and partially characterized appear to have the characteristics required for use in bioremediation of oil spills either on land or water. Strain NO1-1 is particularly efficient in surfactant production and hydrocarbon metabolism. The propensity of these organisms to partition into the oil phase is of prime importance for open water bioremediation.”

 

The idea is to inject live cells of NO1-1 directly into the spouting source. Then, everywhere the inoculated oil goes, it carries with it the exponentially multiplying seeds of its own rapid destruction.

 

Additionally, locally derived bacterial strains could be isolated, characterized, and compared to NO1-1 in parallel.

The necessary possible pathogenicity studies have been budgeted (~$100K).

 

A team of some the best scientists in the world has been assembled and expressed a sincere desire to participate.

A crab boat with 90,000 gallons of cell growing capacity is on standby in the Gulf now.

A ROM estimate of $3.4 million has been prepared towards a four-month budget.

Dr. Furlong (lead NO1-1 researcher) has offered to supply NO1-1 to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for free.

What are we waiting for?”

 

Answer: Bioremediation eats oil. BP wants to sell oil, not destroy it. Government cannot tax on stuff that no longer exists.

Hey, they just might work too, in “plugging the hole”. But how do you “plug” a volcano?

I know, we could get some of that famous "government red tape" and use it to plug the hole! There are plenty of government agencies available that would probably be more than willing to donate to the cause. ;^)

 

Safety Zones Established - Violating 1st Amendment Rights. Is creating a Class D Felony and $40,000 fine for reporting on the Gulf Oil Fiasco not a Facetious Solution? Rather, it is fascist and unconstitutional. This is worse than governmental red tape.

Safe Predictions and Not-So-Safe Consequences

 

Pending Earthquake Activity

 

The oil volcano may be eventually capped, if the relief wells can be built in time to reduce the 100,000-165,000 psi pressure.  With oil rushing up out of the sea floor, and with it being near the Mississippi fault line, I expect to see some major earthquake activity soon, such as waking up the New Madrid Seismic Zone. See the Mississippi Delta Quake article from January 2010. And what if the Mississippi waterway splits in half up through the Great Lakes region?

It is not a matter of if, but when. And will we see mass migrations and economic chaos as a result?

3 Ne. 8: 25 And in another place they were heard to cry and mourn, saying: O that we had repented before this great and terrible day, and had not killed and stoned the prophets, and cast them out; then would our mothers and our fair daughters, and our children have been spared, and not have been buried up in that great city aMoronihah. And thus were the howlings of the people great and terrible.

 

3 Ne. 9: 9 And behold, that great city Jacobugath, which was inhabited by the people of king Jacob, have I caused to be burned with fire because of their sins and their awickedness, which was above all the wickedness of the whole earth, because of their bsecret murders and combinations; for it was they that did cdestroy the peace of my people and the government of the land; therefore I did cause them to be burned, to ddestroy them from before my face, that the blood of the prophets and the saints should not come up unto me any more against them.

 

1 Ne. 12: 4 And it came to pass that I saw a amist of bdarkness on the face of the land of promise; and I saw lightnings, and I heard thunderings, and earthquakes, and all manner of tumultuous noises; and I saw the earth and the rocks, that they rent; and I saw mountains tumbling into pieces; and I saw the plains of the earth, that they were cbroken up; and I saw many cities that they were dsunk; and I saw many that they were burned with fire; and I saw many that did tumble to the earth, because of the quaking thereof.

2 Ne. 6: 15
 And they that believe not in him shall be adestroyed, both by bfire, and by tempest, and by earthquakes, and by cbloodsheds, and by dpestilence, and by efamine. And they shall know that the Lord is God, the Holy One of Israel.

2 Ne. 26: 6
 And they shall be visited with thunderings, and lightnings, and earthquakes, and all manner of destructions, for the afire of the anger of the Lord shall be kindled against them, and they shall be as stubble, and the day that cometh shall consume them, saith the Lord of Hosts.

2 Ne. 27: 2
 And when that day shall come they shall be avisited of the Lord of Hosts, with thunder and with earthquake, and with a great noise, and with storm, and with tempest, and with the bflame of devouring fire.

 

D&C 43: 25 How oft have I acalled upon you by the mouth of my bservants, and by the cministering of angels, and by mine own voice, and by the voice of dthunderings, and by the voice of lightnings, and by the voice of tempests, and by the voice of earthquakes, and great hailstorms, and by the voice of efamines and pestilences of every kind, and by the great sound of a ftrump, and by the voice of judgment, and by the voice of gmercy all the day long, and by the voice of glory and honor and the hriches of eternal life, and would have saved you with an ieverlasting salvation, but ye would not!

 

D&C 87: 6 And thus, with the asword and by bloodshed the inhabitants of the earth shall bmourn; and with cfamine, and plague, and earthquake, and the thunder of heaven, and the fierce and vivid lightning also, shall the inhabitants of the earth be made to feel the wrath, and indignation, and dchastening ehand of an Almighty God, until the consumption decreed hath made a full fend of all gnations;
