#Arkansas #OilSpill #WTF - Warren Andrews had just finished putting up balloons for his stepdaughter’s 18th birthday party at their suburban home in Mayflower, Arkansas, when his wife came inside and said something was wrong.After stepping out of his house, and taking one glance, he immediately dialed 911.
“I don’t know what’s going on, but I’ve got a river of oil coming down the street at me,” Andrews told the operator. Five minutes later, the slick of noxious black crude spewing from a ruptured Exxon Mobil pipeline was eight feet wide, six inches deep and growing fast.
In this photo, spilled oil from Exxon pipeline runs through a neighborhood in Mayflower, Arkansas on March 29, 2013. Reuters was recently given access to the photo from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 

Exxon is refusing to let reporters anywhere near the accident. They’re also controlling the airspace above the spill. They don’t want you to see what’s happening. TOO BAD, EXXON.

Is this really worth it?? Is it really worth the effort of pillaging our Mother’s resources only to waste them and contaminate everything else in the process? No. Let this be a lesson for our children and the generations to come.. this cannot go on for much longer.

What @Exxon Doesn’t Want You To Know About The #Arkansas #OilSpill & #KeystoneXL Tar Sands Pipeline - MOC #220 (by @LeeCamp)

-

One of largest tar sands oil spills has taken place in a small town in Arkansas. Exxon has gotten the FAA to declare it a no-fly zone, and they’ll be the first to tell you it’s not “oil” but instead a toxic substance called “bitumen.” This is the smallest of what we’ll see if the Keystone XL pipeline is approved by Obama.

Short Life Expectancy for BP Whistleblowers?

The investigation, if it can properly be so called, of the unsolved murder of the former high ranking Pentagon official and presidential advisor John P. Wheeler III, who was also an expert on chemical and biological weapons, may be taking a turn in the direction of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

Wheeler, 67, a West Point grad, was beaten and thrown into a garbage dumpster. His body was discovered in a Wilmington, Del. landfill last New Year’s weekend. Both police detectives and news commentators described it as “an apparent hit,” but little else was ever learned, and no suspects have surfaced.

There was great speculation by many at the time that Wheeler had begun to blow the whistle on the mysterious bird and fish deaths in Arkansas and Texas, and was about to expose the facts tying this to the chemtrails seen in our skies over the past decade.

Now the speculation may be reverting to British Petroleum and the gulf spill because a number of other BP whistle blowing scientists, before and since the Wheeler murder, have also died mysteriously, been jailed on questionable charges or disappeared without a trace.

Matthew Simmons, 67, a former energy advisor to President George W. Bush and admired among survivalist groups for his dire warnings on the upcoming commodity and fuel shortages about to hit this nation, died in his hot tub in Maine last August. Simmons had been gaining popularity as a whistle blower for blaming BP for its covered-up responsibility in defacing and vandalizing the Gulf of Mexico while hiding the truth from the general public.

Only four days later, Ted Stevens, the 87-year-old defrocked senator from Alaska, said to have received communications regarding BP’s faulty blowout preventer, perished in a plane crash. British Petroleum had donated $1 million to the University of Alaska to catalog the papers from Stevens’s long political career.

Roger Grooters began a cross country bike ride in Oceanside, Calif. on Sept. 10 to draw attention to the Gulf Coast oil disaster. On Oct. 6, in front of the horrified eyes of his wife, who was trailing in a support vehicle, Grooters was struck by a truck and killed instantly in Panama City, Fla.
Only a month later, Dr. Geoffrey Gardner of Lakeland, Fla. disappeared. He was investigating the unexplained bird deaths near Sarasota that are suspected to have been caused by the BP oil disaster. No one has heard from or spoken with him since.

On Nov. 15, Chitra Chaunhan was found dead of  cyanide poisoning in a Temple Terrace, Fla. hotel. It was officially ruled a suicide. She worked in the Center for Biological Defense and Global Health Infectious Disease Research and left behind a husband and five-year-old child.

The following week, James Patrick Black, director of operations for BP’s restoration organization for the oil spill, died near Destin, Fla. in a small plane crash.

Dr. Thomas B. Manton was one of the first to warn the public that far more oil than what BP had reported was gushing into the gulf every day and that the massive, toxic oil and chemical plumes would travel up the eastern seaboard, contaminating beaches and wildlife all the way.

“Once the winds change, it will come eastward and pollute the beaches of the west coast of Florida, and the ‘loop current’ could carry this oil spill right around Florida, through the Florida Keys and pollute the east coast of Florida as well,” Manton wrote on May 28, 2010.

Dr. Tom Termotto, national coordinator of the Gulf Oil Spill Remediation Conference, says Manton was murdered in prison. Manton had been sentenced to 15 years last August on a phony child pornography charge. Termotto and others say evidence was planted on his computer.

It is not known whether or not Anthony Nicholas Tremonte, 31, posed any threat to BP, but he too was arrested in January and charged with one count of possession of child pornography. Was this charge also faked? As an officer with the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources on the Gulf Coast, he may have known enough to qualify him for membership in this exclusive series of coincidences. He faces up to 40 years in prison if convicted.

Mystery Illness Confirmed By Doctor In Louisiana, Gulf Oil Spill To Blame

A mystery illness that has plagued citizens in the Gulf of Mexico has now been confirmed by Dr. Mike Robichaux, a doctor based out of Raceland, Louisiana.“What’s been really unique about it is that patients have come in with a severe amount of memory loss. Very high blood pressure — blood pressures that are going sky high and then coming down to normal, and then blood sugar levels that are fluctuating. Lastly would be some pulmonary problems and some fairly serious (gastrointestinal) problems,” Robichaux told CNN on Thursday.

This comes four days after Michelle Jones, reporting for The Intel Hub, released an article on the mystery illnesses in the gulf, documenting at least three clear cut cases of citizens and former BP workers who have been sickened due to the BP oil spill.

The Mysterious Deaths of Nine Gulf Oil Spill Whistleblowers (by TheDailyConversation)

In the past year, nine vocal critics or potential whistleblowers of the Gulf oil spill all died in extremely mysterious ways. Their deaths could be strange, unrelated coincidences. Or they could have been killed as part of a conspiracy to silence those who were speaking out against the worst oil spill in American history.

Robert Naman is an analytical chemist with over 30 years of experience and the president of Act Laboratory Inc in Mobile, AL. ACT is a private environmental testing laboratory. ACT labs offers: Soil Testing Labs, Standards Testing Labs, Independent Testing Laboratory, Pacific Testing Labs and Environmental Test Labs. Naman has been an instrumental figure in much of the testing that has happened in the Gulf of Mexico since the BP oil spill.

In the latest Project Gulf Impact video, Naman discusses the EPA’s role in determining acceptable PAH levels, and how those acceptable limits are set higher than what is safe for children and the average adult. He also addresses recent water testing performed in Orange Beach, AL, which found some of the highest levels of oil and grease to date. Naman also has an incredibly interesting take on seafood consumption and his personal decision not to eat seafood out of the Gulf.

From the Huffington Post regarding one of his most recent samplings: “Naman tested various samples for petroleum, and said he expected to find no more than 5 parts per million (ppm). Instead, Naman found results that far exceed his expectations: 16 ppm from waters at Katrina Key, and 29 ppm at Orange Beach.

The most shocking results came from a sample of water collected near boom at Dauphin Island Marina. When Naman combined the sample with an organic solvent that separates the oil from the water, which he did for all the other samples as well, it exploded in his lab, breaking the container and destroying the sample in the process. Naman thinks the reaction was caused by the presence of methane gas or Corexit, the dispersant that BP has been using in the Gulf.”

Exclusive: Flow Rate Scientist : How Much Oil Is Really Out There? (via ProjectGulfImpact) #bp #gulf #oil #spill #coverup

http://www.projectgulfimpact.org
Gavin Garrison, Matt Smith, and Heather Rally

Dr. Ira Leifer, a marine scientist from the University of California at Santa Barbara, has been researching the geochemical nature of oil seeps and spills for over a many years. After over a decade of experience studying hydrocarbon visualization, modeling, and geochemistry in the Santa Barbara channel, Dr. Leifer developed a recognizable expertise in the area of oil spills. Soon after the BP Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion in late April 2010, Dr. Leifer was sought out by the government and appointed to the National Incident Command’s Flow Rate Technical Group. This group of highly specialized scientists was tasked with the responsibility of determining how much oil was leaking from the Macondo 252 wellhead. In this exclusive interview with Project Gulf Impact, Dr. Leifer expresses his frustration when asked to make scientifically sound conclusions based upon data that has been intentionally obscured and manipulated. Not only was he denied the proper quality of data after repeated requests, he also witnessed a blatant obscuring, by the media, of the results that ultimately were released by the flow rate group. BP argues that scientists have miscalculated the flow rate from the Macondo well, and that the actual spill size could be half the official estimate.

From The Daily Hurricane:

“If BP gets away with reducing the flow estimate to half of the current estimate, it will be a masterful manipulation of government regulators and inexperienced administration officials. It appears that with the media now completely ignoring this tragedy, BP will successfully lowball the flow to minimize its liability. To give you an idea of the size of this issue, let’s look at a few numbers:

First, the official government estimate for flow into the Gulf is 4.9 million barrels, or about 60,000 barrels per day (this estimate is likely way low due to flow characteristics of these big deepwater wells, but that fact just complicates an already complicated subject, so I’ll ignore it for now). Second, at the peak of it’s “top hat” containment, BP was capturing about 25,000 barrels of oil per day, even as oil roared into the water around the cap.

So. If BP is now claiming that the flow rate was half the estimated 60,000 barrels per day, that means that when they were capturing 25,000 barrels per day, they were capturing close to all of the flow. I don’t know about you, but all that oil roaring into the water around the cap looks like a lot more than nothing. Additionally, recall that on July 6, Doug Suttles actually used 53,000 barrels per day as his estimate of flow for the calculation of the amount of dispersant BP wanted to apply at the sea floor. To now assert that the flow rate was half of the government estimate, and far below their own estimate is disingenuous on the face.”

BP Gulf oil spill: Shocking images that prove the seabed is STILL coated in oil - despite BP claims all will be well

Oil from the BP spill remains stuck on the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, according to a top scientist.

Samantha Joye has video and slides that she says demonstrate the oil isn’t degrading as hoped and has decimated life on parts of the sea floor.

That report is at odds with a recent report by the BP spill compensation czar that said nearly all will be well by 2012.

Deep impact: A December 1, 2010 slide from the University of Georgia shows a dead crab with oil residue on the still-damaged sea floor about 10 miles north of the BP rig in the Gulf of Mexico

Deep impact: A December 1, 2010 slide from the University of Georgia shows a dead crab with oil residue on the still-damaged sea floor about 10 miles north of the BP rig in the Gulf of Mexico

At a science conference in Washington today, Joye, a professor at the University of Georgia aired early results of her December submarine dives around the BP spill site.

She went to places she had visited in the summer and expected the oil and residue from oil-munching microbes would be gone by then. It wasn’t.

‘There’s some sort of a bottleneck we have yet to identify for why this stuff doesn’t seem to be degrading,’ Joye told the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual conference in Washington.

Her research and those of her colleagues contrasts with other studies that show a more optimistic outlook about the health of the gulf, saying microbes did great work munching the oil.

‘Magic microbes consumed maybe 10 per cent of the total discharge, the rest of it we don’t know,’ Joye said, later adding: ‘there’s a lot of it out there’.

The head of the agency in charge of the health of the Gulf said today that she thought that ‘most of the oil is gone’.

The enduring cost of the spill: Another image from the University of Georgia's submersible Alvin shows dead brittle stars. Brittle stars are normally bright orange and wrapped around coral; these are pale and limp

And a Department of Energy scientist, doing research with a grant from BP from before the spill, said his examination of oil plumes in the water column show that microbes have done a ‘fairly fast’ job of eating the oil.

Lawrence Berkeley National Lab scientist Terry Hazen said his research differs from Joye’s because they looked at different places at different times.

Joye’s research was more widespread, but has been slower in being published in scientific literature.

In five different expeditions, the last one in December, Joye and colleagues took 250 cores of the sea floor and travelled across 2,600 square miles.

Is he wrong? BP oil spill fund administrator Kenneth Feinberg at a town hall meeting in Louisiana last week. He has claimed the Gulf will be almost fully recovered by 2012

Some of the locations she had been studying before the oil spill on April 20 and said there was a noticeable change. Much of the oil she found on the sea floor - and in the water column - was chemically fingerprinted, proving it comes from the BP spill.

Joye is still waiting for results to show other oil samples she tested are from BP’s Macondo well.

She also showed pictures of oil-choked bottom-dwelling creatures. They included dead crabs and brittle stars - starfish like critters that are normally bright orange and tightly wrapped around coral.

These brittle stars were pale, loose and dead. She also saw tube worms so full of oil they suffocated.

‘This is Macondo oil on the bottom,’ Joye said as she showed slides. ‘This is dead organisms because of oil being deposited on their heads.’

Joye said her research shows that the burning of oil left soot on the sea floor, which still had petroleum products.

And even more troublesome was the tremendous amount of methane from the BP well that mixed into the Gulf and was mostly ignored by other researchers.

Joye and three colleagues last week published a study in Nature Geoscience that said the amount of gas injected into the Gulf was the equivalent of between 1.5 and three million barrels of oil.

‘The gas is an important part of understanding what happened,’ said Ian MacDonald of Florida State University.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief Jane Lubchenco told reporters today that ‘it’s not a contradiction to say that although most of the oil is gone, there still remains oil out there.’

Earlier this month, Kenneth Feinberg, the government’s oil compensation fund czar, said based on research he commissioned he figured the Gulf of Mexico would almost fully recover by 2012.

But Joye and Lubchenco said he was wrong.

‘I’ve been to the bottom. I’ve seen what it looks like with my own eyes. It’s not going to be fine by 2012,’ Joye told The Associated Press.

‘You see what the bottom looks like, you have a different opinion.’

Noaa chief Lubchenco said ‘even though the oil degraded relatively rapidly and is now mostly but not all gone, damage done to a variety of species may not become obvious for years to come.’

Lubchenco today also announced the start of a Gulf restoration planning process to get the Gulf back to the condition it was on April 19, the day before the spill.

That programme would eventually be paid for BP and other parties deemed responsible for the spill.

This would be separate from an already begun restoration programme that would improve all aspects of the Gulf, not just the oil spill, but has not been funded by the government yet, she said.

The new program, which is part of the Natural Resources Damage Assessment program, is part of the oil spill litigation - or out-of-court settlement - in which the polluters pay for overall damage to the ecosystem and efforts to return it to normal.

This is different than paying compensation to people and businesses directly damaged by the spill.

The process will begin with public meetings all over the region.

#Gulf #BioTerrorism : A Silent & Deadly Enemy Among Us (PART I)

The Gulf Blue Plague is Sanctioned Bio-terrorism

(WorldVisionPortal) – While the vast majority of Americans were deceived into focusing their attention solely on BP’s underwater “dog and pony video show” and professed chemical “dispersants,” the biological war initiated within the Gulf of Mexico battleground was already a raging bacterial inferno.  

Those of us who live on the Gulf Coast have always hunkered down and survived deadly storms, such as hurricanes Charley and Katrina.  We have always picked ourselves up from out of the rubble and rebuilt.  We are survivors.  It’s a part of what living in “hurricane alley” is all about.  But we have never faced an invisible storm that attacks in absolute silence with no advanced warning.  We have never confronted an engineered biological terror that can’t be seen nor heard.

We are on the vanguard of the largest cover-up in American history.  More than a week after the April 20, 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster began, District of Columbia military Commander-in-Chief Obama emphasized how nothing would be done by British Petroleum or any other group without it being cleared and approved by his Executive office. I presume this was previously agreed to on February 13, 2010 at the White House meeting between Obama and BP since this happened to be the same day BP was granted a U.S. Government permit to abandon a Mississippi Canyon 252 well that was fracturing and had uncontrollable gas bursts.

This new “Gulf War” will linger on for centuries as it alters the entire biosphere.  It’s destroying our families, friends and neighbors from the inside out because it’s a genetic war. This purposefully engineered biological war will soon become a world war as the horizontally transferred synthetic genes extend their silent tendrils through the water and air. It’s already begun to abruptly manifest in fish, birds, mammals, and humans.

What’s taking place in the Gulf of Mexico is nothing less than officially authorized bio-terrorism for those of us who live on the Gulf coast. The Gulf Blue Plague is Sanctioned Biological Terrorism.

WHO IS OUR ENEMY?

Who has raged this war against not only humanity, but against our entire earth and all life that dwells on this planet?

Our enemy is whoever (pronounced “POTUS”) ordered the use of synthetic genomics in the Gulf of Mexico for the purpose of crude oil bio-remediation… joined in locked arms by those in authority (pronounced “Governors”) who have knowingly allowed it to take place… while usually accepting free money (pronounced “bribe”) for advertising deliberate lies to the public about the safety of Gulf seafood, water, beaches, and air.

By their actions, they have declared war against all of us. Call it whatever you wish, but in my opinion this is sanctioned terrorism. I take it personally because it just doesn’t affect me; it touches every member of my extended family, my friends, and my neighbors here on the Gulf coast.

WHAT ARE THEIR WEAPONS?

The present syn-bio weapons of our enemy are outlined below along with evolving horizontal gene transfer contamination of the natural microorganisms that have been the basis of our entire world… until now. The biological ecosystem of the earth we knew a year ago is now rapidly changing.

In just a few months, we will know if orders have been given allowing hurricanes to enter the Gulf of Mexico or if they will all be purposely steered away as was done in 2010.  This will dictate how fast the world biosphere will be further affected. However, it will not change the present bio-genetic war for those of us living along the Gulf coast no matter which option is taken.

BIO-REMEDIATION VIA GENOMICALLY ENGINEERED BACTERIA

I have previously explained how synthetic gene bioremediation has been used and how it works in numerous articles and radio broadcasts, as well as in YouTube videos, since early August, 2010. Take the time to read and listen to what has already been revealed beginning with The Gulf Blue Plague (BP) is Evolving to the more recent Permanent Biological Contamination of the Gulf – Synthetic Genes Are Crossing Species Barriers.

A week ago, scientist and human rights activist Dr. Riki Ott publicly agreed with me that genetically engineered bacteria are being used within the Gulf. This comes on the heels of Dr. Máximo Sandín of Spain, a well respected European biology professor and scientist, confirming two weeks earlier that the horizontal transference of these synthetic genes was creating a “permanent biological contamination” in the Gulf.

“And it’s not just dispersants; it’s also genetically engineered bacteria… with absolutely no thought on what this will do to the populations of humans living in this area, let alone the ecosystem.  So, we need Cease and Desist orders across the Gulf.” - Dr. Riki Ott, February 10, 2011, KALW radio, San Francisco, California.

In an earlier September 27, 2010 interview, Dr. Ott said pretty much the same:

“There are naturally occurring bacteria [in the Gulf]: Alcanivorax borkumensis, for example.  The problem is that, in their wisdom, some of our scientists have decided to see if they can tinker with the genes of these bacteria to see if it could eat oil better.  So, now we have bio-engineered bacteria out there chomping oil.  Does anybody have any idea what this does to people? Some of the medical community has found that these gram negative bacteria, specifically Alcanivorax – the super bug – can cause a MRSA-like [Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus] infection.”

FOUR SYNTHETICALLY ALTERED BACTERIA IN THE GULF

There are new species or strains of bacteria now present in the Gulf of Mexico that very closely match the single strand DNA of known natural oil and gas munching bacteria. Three of these are hydrocarbonoclastic (oil eating) bacteria while one is an anaerobic bacterium that thrives on gas, especially methane. All are genetically modified and altered.

All these bacteria are Gram-negative and join together to form antibiotic resistant “bio-films” which colonize both within and on people. The skin ulcers, boils, rashes, pneumonia, lesions, internal hemorrhaging, along with many more symptomatic results, are directly tied to these synthetically DNA altered bacteria. They are responsible for new and unknown pathogenic diseases where current antibiotics have very little or no effect.

1. Pseudomonas alcaligenes is a Gram-negative bacteria used for bio-remediation purposes because it can degrade aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene or methane.

2. Alcanivorax borkumensis is a Gram-negative bacteria used for bio-remediation purposes because it can degrade oil hydrocarbons.

3. Oleispirea Antarctica is a Gram-negative hydrocarbon degrading bacteria only found in Rod Bay and the Ross Sea, Antarctica.

4. Oceaniserpentilla Haliotis is a Gram-negative hydrocarbon degrading bacteria found only in the Tasman Sea between Australia and New Zealand.

“To make things a little scarier, some of the oil-eating bacteria have been genetically modified or otherwise bio-engineered to better eat the oil – including Alcanivorax borkumensis and some of the Pseudomonas.” — Dr. Riki Ott, September 17, 2010; Bio-Remediation or Bio-Hazard? Dispersants, Bacteria and Illness in the Gulf

Gram-Negative Consequences

The outer membrane protects gram-negative bacteria from typical antibiotics that would normally damage the inner membrane or cell wall.

Bio-Film Bacteria Colonies

Bacteria living in a bio-film usually have significantly different properties from “free-floating” bacteria of the same species because the protected environment of the film allows them to interact in different ways. This environment brings about increased resistance to detergents and antibiotics.  Antibiotic resistance of bacteria in a bio-film provides a pathway to chronic infections.  In some cases, antibiotic resistance can be increased a thousand fold.

“The recent dramatic decline in the cost of DNA sequencing has made it possible to detect microbes with the ability to degrade oil even when they make up only a small percentage of the initial microbial community.  Computer programs have been designed that allow scientists to search meta-genomes for gene sequences associated with the enzymes involved in oil degradation. Because microbes can grow rapidly and have only a single copy of DNA, mutations and gene transfer events that improve fitness have an immediate effect.

Microbes can also evolve enhanced capabilities for degrading oil. One of the most rapid ways this can happen is by horizontal gene transfer (HGT). HGT is a mechanism whereby microbes can share genes with each other—with HGT, a microbe that has the genetic instructions for producing oil-degrading enzymes can transfer copies of those genes to other microbes—even microbes of different species previously incapable of degrading oil components. In this way, microbes that were unable to use oil as a food source acquire that capability. The ability to share genes can greatly promote a local microbial community’s capacity to clean up an oil spill. Although the process is well established, the extent to which it takes place after an oil spill is unknown.” — Microbes & Oil Spills FAQ, published February 17, 2011, American Academy of Microbiology, American Society for Microbiology, Washington, DC; http://www.asm.org
