From Mel:
Dear Veritas Member,
I never thought I would be writing more than one e-mail per week. I
also never saw myself getting involved in something so important - a
life changing event that we are not being told by the mainstream media.
A few minutes ago, I conducted a short interview with documentary
filmmaker, James Fox. He is presently in Grand Isle, Louisiana. The
closest location to the Gulf oil spill. Before I spoke to James I
received a few unsubstantiated reports that I put on the side.
What I'm about to share with you is extremely important. There is an
absolute MEDIA BLACKOUT in the area. People are being arrested
everywhere. Hotels in a 70-mile radius are completely sold out, yet,
you don't see any vans or reporters filming. It's as if the entire area
was under siege.
James Fox has witnessed this and he basically just arrived. He says he
saw multiple Chevron helicopters flying. He has not seen any military
activity. It's as if the oil companies had taken over. James expected
to rent a plane to fly over it and that is not possible. The area above
the oil spill is now a NO-FLY-ZONE. He will be there for two weeks.
I am issuing this bulleting because James Fox's name needs to be out in
the public, as there is a possibility that he will be arrested. I have
plans to talk to the Grand Isle's Police Department to get further
clarification regarding these arrests, since James people don't even
know who is conducting these arrests. James had the opportunity to talk
to the son of one of the cleanup workers (former fisherman) and he told
him no one is talking. He did say that no one is being told the extent
of this disaster. It is much bigger than what is being reported.
The government is NOT IN CONTROL. The ones exercising all influence are
the oil companies. Where is our FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT? I will be
posting my interview with James at the forum shortly. When I called him
I wanted to remain optimistic and felt people were exaggerating or
simply fear mongering. After my conversation with James I can
categorically say that my level of concern has risen to unprecedented
levels and now I'm putting more credence to the reports I'm receiving.
I would like to put everything on the side and devote my time to fully
cover this but I can't. I am relying on people like James to be our
eyes and ears on the ground. One last thing. James is well connected
with the media. He placed a number of calls to his contacts on CNN and
told them literally "Guys, I need to talk to you immediately." No one
is responding.
He says he felt as if he was being watched everywhere. Literally, a
town under siege. I thought very hard before I wrote this, but I have
always promised you that if I heard something that needs to be shared
with you, I would. There are some who are putting their lives on the
line to get this information out and if I can, even in my own small
way, be able to assist, they have my full support.
Check the forum periodically and the Blog for more updates. I told
James to keep in touch with me and I plan to do so. Audio of our
interview will be posted shortly.
Until the next update. Be well.
Yours in Veritas,
Mel

http://www.manticoregroup.com/radio/...mesfox2010.mp3Oil Volcano Pressure Too Strong For Containment It has been estimated by experts that the pressure which blows the oil
into the Gulf waters is estimated to be between 20,000 and 70,000 PSI
(pounds per square inch). Impossible to control. What US Scientists Are
Forbidden To Tell The Public About The Gulf What you are about to read,
is what the scientists in the United States are not allowed to tell you
in great fear of the Obama administration. They are under the threat of
severe repercussions to the max.. Scientists confirming these findings
cannot be named due to the above, but what they believe, they want to
be known by all. Take a U. S. map, lay it flat and measure inland just
the minimum 50 miles of total destruction all around the Gulf of Mexico
as to what you will read below. The carnage to the United States is so
staggering, it will take your breathe away. Should what the scientists
who are trying to warn everyone about be even close to being true...
all of Florida will be completely destroyed as will everyone and
everything on it. You decide!! Everyone has the right to read what I
have just written in this article, as well as to what is written below
by the scientists who the Obama administration and BP are trying to
shut up. Please share with as many as you can. --Dr. James P. Wickstrom
SUMMARY OF WHAT IS HAPPENING
The estimated super high pressure release of oil from under the
earth's crust is between 80,000 to 100,000 barrels per day. The flow of
oil and toxic gases is bringing up with it... rocks and sand which
causes the flow to create a sandblasting effect on the remaining well
head device currently somewhat restricting the flow, as well as the
drilled hole itself. As the well head becomes worn it enlarges the
passageway allowing an ever-increasing flow. Even if some device could
be placed onto the existing wellhead, it would not be able to shut off
the flow, because what remains of the existing wellhead would not be
able to contain the pressure. The well head piping is originally about
2 inches thick. It is now likely to be less than 1 inch thick, and
thinning by each passing moment. The oil has now reached the Gulf
Stream and is entering the Oceanic current which is at least four times
stronger than the current in the Gulf, which will carry it throughout
the world within 18 months. The oil along with the gasses, including
benzene and many other toxins, is deleting the oxygen in the water.
This is killing all life in the ocean. Along with the oil along the
shores, there will be many dead fish, etc. that will have to be
gathered and disposed of.
SUMMARY OF EXPECTATIONS At some point the drilled hole in the earth will enlarge itself beneath
the wellhead to weaken the area the wellhead rests upon. The intense
pressure will then push the wellhead off the hole allowing a direct
unrestricted flow of oil, etc. The hole will continue to increase in
size allowing more and more oil to rise into the Gulf. After several
billion barrels of oil have been released, the pressure within the
massive cavity five miles beneath the ocean floor will begin to
normalize. This will allow the water, under the intense pressure at 1
mile deep, to be forced into the hole and the cavity where the oil was.
The temperature at that depth is near 400 degrees, possibly more. The
water will be vaporized and turned into steam, creating an enormous
amount of force, lifting the Gulf floor. It is difficult to know how
much water will go down to the core and therefore, its not possible to
fully calculate the rise of the floor. The tsunami wave this will
create will be anywhere from 20 to 80 feet high, possibly more. Then
the floor will fall into the now vacant chamber. This is how nature
will seal the hole. Depending on the height of the tsunami, the ocean
debris, oil, and existing structures that will be washed away on shore
and inland, will leave the area from 50 to 200 miles inland devoid of
life. Even if the debris is cleaned up, the contaminants that will be
in the ground and water supply will prohibit re-population of these
areas for an unknown number of years. (End of scientists information

Three oil leaks in Gulf possible, FL power and water supplies may be at risk
http://image3.examiner.com/images/blog/replicate/EXID38220/images/OilLeaks.jpg
Satellite imagery Apr. 25 - May 18 shows multiple oil leaks in Gulf. Images in public domain courtesy of SkyTruth.
An analysis of satellite imagery suggests there may be oil leaks at
three separate sites in the Gulf of Mexico, in addition to the
possibility of three leaks at the Deepwater Horizon site. Meanwhile,
the tar mats creeping closer to Tampa Bay may pose a threat to drinking
water and power supplies in many areas of Florida.
According to both The Atlantic and the Alabama Press-Register, the
Deepwater Horizon is not the only well that has been leaking oil into
the Gulf of Mexico for the last month. In addition to the multiple
leaks at the Deepwater Horizon site revealed by Sen. Bill Nelson on
MSNBC two days ago, there may be two others.
Kate Sheppard, who covers energy and environmental politics for the Washington bureau of Mother Jones, writes:
John Amos, head of the West Virginia-based nonprofit SkyTruth, was
looking at satellite images of the oil from the Deepwater Horizon site
when he noticed what appeared to be another small slick of oil about 11
miles off the coast of Louisiana and about 40 miles from the major
spill. Amos' group uses the images to assess environmental problems; he
was among the first independent experts to point out that the spill
estimates from BP and the government were far too low, which has now
been confirmed. Amos reported a "small but persistent leak or oily
discharge" at a second site in the Gulf, one that appeared to be coming
from platform 23051 in the Gulf of Mexico. It can be seen on multiple
satellite images of the region. Minerals Management Service (MMS)
records indicate that the platform belongs to Taylor Energy Company.
Amos contacted J. Henry Fair, a New York-based photographer who
specializes in artistic renderings of the human impact on the
environment. Fair was in the Gulf last weekend taking aerial photos of
the spill with the group Southwings, and at Amos' suggestion sought out
platform 23051. Fair found a rig with an oily sheen extending out into
the water and snapped a series of photos. But upon closer inspection,
it was a different rig - the Ocean Saratoga rig owned by Diamond
Offshore. In some of Fair's photos, a platform is visible in the
background, possibly the one he was originally searching for, 23051.
Amos couldn't give an estimate on how much oil might be coming out of
either site.
That would mean there are potentially two other operations in the Gulf
leaking oil. So just how common are such leaks? The sad reality is, we
really don't know.
Florida residents, however, may be more concerned with this report from
Wayne Madsen, another Washington DC-based investigative journalist and
nationally-distributed columnist. In a piece picked up by the web site,
Global Research, Madsen writes:
...Emergency planning sources in Florida have informed [me] that the
state faces severe fresh water shortages and power blackouts if the
thick crude oil from the Deepwater Horizon disaster clogs sea water
intakes at the largest seawater desalinization plant in the United
States - the Tampa Bay Seawater Desalinization Plant at Apollo Beach.
The plant, which uses seawater reverse osmosis to turn seawater into 16
to 19 million gallons of drinking water daily for residents of the
Tampa Bay area, faces the threat of filtration membranes becoming
clogged if oil from the Gulf of Mexico enters its intake pipes. Such an
event would render the plant unable to process seawater, resulting in a
major fresh water shortage for Tampa Bay.
Similarly, oil clogging the water cooling intakes at the Crystal River
Nuclear Power Plant on the Gulf of Mexico coast, some 80 miles north of
Tampa, could force the shutdown of the Unit 3 pressurized water nuclear
reactor. Such an event would result in power shutdowns in the Florida
areas served by the power plant.
According to these sources, there is much more at stake for Florida
residents than fouled beaches and dead marine life. When BP's oil hits
the coast of Florida, it may become an economic disaster of epic
proportion.
