I see every post, and I always thank you for your efforts on this. I sort of gave up my plan go to Gulf Shores for a no cost trip with my dear friend who has a house there...I wanted to snoop around and maybe make a little video for us, but no one had any suggestions, and so I've moved on to a different focus for travel. I certainly think there is quality coverage of the situation on the internet. However there is almost no tv or newspaper coverage about it here in the States. None, really. People are buying shrimp like it never happened. Aaaaagh. Wow.

America's Gulf Crisis - Ongoing Coverup and Denial
By Stephen Lendman
10-27-10
On October 22, AP reported that over 7,000 square miles of Gulf waters off Florida's Panhandle were declared oil-free and reopened to fishing. According the the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 96% of Gulf waters are now safe and reopened, spokeswoman Jane Lubchenco saying, "Our tests continue to reveal seafood from the reopened areas is safe to eat." Others disagree. More on that below.
The newly opened area is about 60 miles east of the Macondo wellhead. About 9,400 square miles of fishing waters remain closed, 4% of federal waters, down from 37% earlier.
From the start, The New Times provided cover for BP and the administration, at first denying the existence of a spill, then minimizing the disaster. On May 3, writers John Broder and Tom Zeller Jr. headlined, "Gulf Oil Spill Is Bad, but How Bad? saying "news analysis" indicates it's really not serious after all, when evidence showed the potential for disaster.
On August 4, writer Justin Gillis headlined, "US Finds Most Oil From Spill Poses Little Additional Risk," saying:
"The government is expected to announce....that three-quarters of the oil from the Deepwater Horizon leak has already evaporated, dispersed, been captured or otherwise eliminated - and that much of the rest is so diluted that it does not seem to pose much additional risk of harm."
This at a time, and later on, when independent research showed most oil remained. Corexit dispersants increased toxicity manyfold. Seafood was contaminated and unsafe. Vast areas of the Gulf and shorelines were (and continue to be) hazardous, and the risk to wildlife and human health was extreme. In other words, by downplaying the disaster, The Times defended government and BP lies, fearing the April 20 explosion provided "new fodder" for opponents.
Other Times reports highlighted the vanishing oil, low concentrations of deep sea toxic compounds, and conditions slowly returning to normal. In an October 12 update, The Times said:
"....evidence is increasing that through a combination of luck (a fortunate shift in ocean currents that kept much of the oil away from shore) and ecological circumstance (the relatively warm waters that increased the breakdown rate of the oil), the gulf region appears to have escaped the direst predictions of the spring."
"And preliminary reports (suggest) the damage already done (may) be significantly less than was feared - less, in fact, than the destruction from the much smaller Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska in 1989."
In fact, the truth is mirror opposite. BP and administration officials are responsible for the greatest environmental crime in history, an ongoing disaster, affecting vast parts of the Gulf, coastal waters from Texas to Florida, most or perhaps all wildlife, and the health of millions of residents, no longer safe since April.
Drill Baby Drill
On October 12, the May imposed moratorium was lifted, six weeks ahead of its scheduled November 30 date, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar declaring:
"We are open for business....We have made and continue to make significant progress in reducing the risks associated with deepwater drilling." (Therefore), I have decided that it is now appropriate to lift the suspension on deepwater drilling for those operators that are able to clear the higher bar that we have set."
In fact, so-called "new rules" mimic old ones. Drilling remains unregulated and unsafe, so it's just a matter of time before the next disaster strikes, besides natural seepage and annual hundreds of smaller, unreported spills. Cumulatively over time, their toxicity destroys global water and human health. Moreover, according to former NOAA supervisory researcher Jeff Short:
"Once you have a spill, you are pretty much screwed. That's because oil spreads on water at a rate of one-half football field per second. Recovery can take decades," so calling the coast clear and water safe is willfully deceptive, echoed by the dominant media, The New York Times in the lead.
Lies, Damn Lies, and Coverup
The level is staggering, numerous reports countering BP and administration claims. On September 3, Boston Chemical Data Corp. laboratory findings, commissioned by the United Commercial Fishermen's Association, revealed toxic Corexit levels in test samples, meaning, besides oil contamination, Gulf seafood is extremely hazardous and unsafe.
Moreover, though BP denies it, Corexit spraying continues, mostly at night but some during day time. Fishermen report seeing it, in some cases hit by its mist. Reports say BP hired out-of-state contractors using unregistered boats, besides nightly aerial spraying. The administration's response to the entire disaster remains firm - coverup and denial, helped by a major media blackout after BP reported sealing the Macondo well on September 19.
In early October, however, four working reports issued by investigators from the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling revealed systemic coverup and censorship to suppress the disaster's magnitude, one very much ongoing.
They explained that stonewalling began in April and continued, one report concluding:
"By initially underestimating the amount of oil flow and then, at the end of the summer, appearing to underestimate the amount of oil remaining in the gulf, the federal government created the impression that it was either not fully competent to handle the spill or not fully candid with the American people about the scope of the problem."
In fact, willful misinformation was released. In contrast, independent researchers produced accurate findings. BP, the administration, and major media accounts suppressed them, including evidence of criminal negligence.
Local Reports Exposing the Big Lie
On October 23, New Orleans Times-Picayune writer Bob Marshall headlined "Massive stretches of weathered oil spotted in Gulf of Mexico," saying:
"Just three days after (Coast Guard admiral Thad Allen, BP's front man) declared little recoverable surface oil remained in the Gulf of Mexico....Boat captains working the BP clean-up effort" reported seeing it, confirmed by Times-Picayune photojournalist Matt Hinton in a fly-over. In addition, "fishermen's groups....insist their members have" spotted it all along, refuting official claims that don't explain large fish kills, big enough to suggest widespread toxicity, affecting humans as well as wildlife.
On the six month anniversary of the disaster, marine biologist Riki Ott reported "people (are) now dropping dead," adding:
"I am dealing with about 3 - 4 autopsies right now....I know of people who's esophagus' are de-solving, disintegrating....I know of people with 4.75% of their lung capacity, with enlarged hearts....All of these people have oil (and dispersants) in their bodies."
She added that "4 to 5 million people in the Gulf were exposed to oil (and dispersants) at dangerous levels that is going to have incredible public health ramifications...and possibly force the President out of office for lies." In fact, he should be impeached and prosecuted for war crimes abroad and ones against humanity at home.
Deaths continue to be reported as well as people finding volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other toxins in their blood. According to one observer, corruption, coverup and poisoning are occurring in plain sight. The entire region is affected and will be for decades, the dirty secret BP, government officials, and major media won't explain.
Local accounts, however, are disturbing. On October 21, New Orleans WWL-TV reported:
"The oil is not evaporating. It's not dissipating. It's sitting there," according to PJ Hahn, Plaquemines Parish Coastal Zone Management Department head.
On October 20, AP reported Byron Encalade, president of the Louisiana Oystermen Association, saying "oyster beds are all dead or dying....I'm very pessimistic about it."
In early September, Mississippi Department of Marine Resources officials found 80 - 90% of oysters dead, citing no cause. Clearly oil and Corexit are responsible.
On October 21, Cynthia Sarthou, Gulf Restoration Network executive director, said:
"There is still so much oil and dispersant in the environment, and the Gulf has not yet begun to heal because we have yet to determine what the injury is that it has suffered," and its extent. For sure it's massive and destructive.
On October 16, the Louisiana Shrimp Association's Clint Guidry called using Corexit a "horrific mistake," adding:
"Potential ecosystem collapse caused by toxic dispersant use during this disaster will have immediate and long term effects on the Gulf's fishing communities' ability to sustain our culture and heritage."
On October 22, a pilot said he "was surprised (and saddened) to witness a seemingly unrelenting tide of oil hammering our beaches, bays, and estuaries."
Other recent reports included:
- fishermen sprayed while sleeping in groups of boats tied together;
- a boat captain, Lori DeAngelis, said her vagina and anus are bleeding, adding: "This thing is killing me;"
- Lorrie Williams in Ocean Springs, MS said the oil sheen is "a lot worse" now than earlier, calling it an "absolute mess;"
- tides keep washing up tar balls and sheen on coastal beaches and other areas;
- large deposits are found buried in sand;
- researchers found "vast volumes" of oil on the seafloor, including "thick raw crude;"
- a massive shelf of exposed tar was found on Pensacola beaches;
- fishermen said "we're starving; there are no fish in the waters" or not enough; and "any fish we would see, we would not eat;" and
- various other reports were just as disturbing - clear evidence of an ongoing disaster because of the worst ever environmental crime.
A Final Comment
On June 14, as conditions worsened, AP reported that Obama "pronounce(d) Gulf seafood safe to eat....things are going to return to normal....I am confident that we're going to be able to leave the Gulf Coast in better shape than it was before."
In fact, then, now, and for decades, contamination will remain, hazardous to wildlife and human health, what he knew yet lied and said otherwise, fronting for BP and other industry giants.
Oil and dispersants contaminate much, perhaps the entire Gulf. It's now poisoned and will remain potentially lethal for decades, maybe generations. Nothing in it should be ingested. Millions in the region are at risk. Families with small children should leave. No one should swim in coastal waters or eat any Gulf seafood, perhaps ever again. Responsible officials should ban it.
Instead, Obama, the Interior Department, NOAA, the Coast Guard, state governors, coastal mayors, regional health officials, BP, and major media reports gave the all-clear, saying conditions are nearly again normal, claiming the worst of the crisis was avoided.
In fact, a silent epidemic of cancers and other diseases will ravage coastal and inland areas for decades. The livelihoods of many residents are lost, and southern Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida may never be the same again, at least not for those now living there.
Moreover, 4,000 Gulf oil platforms now operate, the deepest and most hazardous by a consortium of companies, including BP. In addition, about 50,000 old wells pockmark the seabed, thousands with temporary or failing plugs believed to be leaking oil, gas and other toxins.
Yet deepwater drilling continues. Oil and gas pipelines keep compromising Gulf marshes, causing 15,000 acres to be lost annually, eroding wetlands and other areas. According to experts, unless restorative changes are made, the entire ecosystem will be lost in a generation.
On November 2, consider that before voting. Remember Obama's complicity in the greatest ever environmental crime, but don't imagine Republicans or Tea Party extremists will fix things. They're all beholden to power, not popular interests at a time they're being systematically eroded to divert money for militarism, imperial wars, bankers, BP, and other corporate favorites, ordinary people and ecological considerations be damned.

Tests warned of cement troubles before BP blowout
By DINA CAPPIELLO
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Tests performed before the deadly blowout of BP's oil well in the Gulf of Mexico should have raised doubts about the cement used to seal the well, but the company and its cementing contractor used it anyway, investigators with the president's oil spill commission said Thursday.
It's the first finding from the commission looking into the causes of the April 20 explosion that killed 11 workers and led to the largest offshore oil spill in U.S. history. And it appears to conflict with statements made by Halliburton Co., which has said its tests showed the cement mix was stable.
The company, which has blamed BP's well design and operational decisions for the disaster, acknowledged in a six-page statement released late Thursday that it never tested the final mixture of cement for stability after BP made a last-minute change to the mix.
The cement mix's failure to prevent oil and gas from entering the well has been identified by BP and others as one of the causes of the accident.
BP and Halliburton decided to use a foam slurry created by injecting nitrogen into cement to secure the bottom of the well, a decision outside experts have criticized.
The panel said that of four tests done in February and April by Halliburton, only one - the last - showed the mix would hold. But the results of that single successful test were not shared with BP, and may not have reached Halliburton, before the cement was pumped, according to a letter sent to commissioners Thursday by chief investigative counsel Fred H. Bartlit Jr.
Halliburton said Thursday that that successful test was performed on a mixture different than the one eventually used. While some tests were conducted on the new formulation requested by BP, those tests did not include a foam stability test, the company said.
According to the panel, BP at the time of the blowout had in hand results from only one of the tests - a February analysis sent to BP by Halliburton in a March 8 e-mail that indicated the cement could fail. The slurry tested in that case was a slightly different blend, and assumed a slightly different well design, but there is no indication that Halliburton flagged the problem for BP, or that BP had concerns, the letter said.
"Halliburton (and perhaps BP) should have considered redesigning the foam slurry before pumping it at the Macondo well," Bartlit wrote.

Thanks so much Mudra for keeping this thead alive. I am trying very hard to spend time and effort making inroads to all the Americans I know, family and otherwise on this subject. ( when I am not banging on about chemtrails that is, 
)
It is sooo hard to get people interested in something not visibly or palpably affecting their lives, until it is too late. I know people down there who are in total denial, and the ones who know it is bad don't want to know any more than that. Most people think it is all fixed now . Can you believe it?
I must admit I am still in shock by the videos Burgundia uploaded on BP and the synthetic DNA organism. It has blown my wig off knowing BP now have a major stake in a company with J Craig Ventor, really scary. You could NOT make it up, creating this stuff and now hard at work on a vaccine for what they have unleashed. Yup, "Synthetic Genomics Vaccines". Should I buy some stock?
There is an interesting thread on this on GLP , the OP is the guy behind the videos if I am not mistaken. My computer is acting shifty
so can not post the link .
Thanks again Mudra, really usefull info.

oh noooooooooooooooooooo more info! 
yes, I so agree it has hardly started in the Gulf, and at times like this, I want to believe in alien intervention all over again, but no one lets you get away with that on this forum.
Sigh, we are the ones we have been waiting for but I wish we would hurry up. People say enjoy the ride but some of the rides really suck.
ok, all things will pass...

I just overflown your writings Mudra havnen`had time jet to look in your links but it sounds very scary " syntetic genomics vaccines", anomalous cowyard.
what`s happen with the gulfstream??Iam convinced it is still broken.
So it is sure it`s still the beginning of this gulf disaster.
All the best Sabina

BP Oil In Now IN The Food Chain - LOOK
From Robert Morningstar
10-30-10
Hello, Everyone,
I received this today from Keith Woodward on Facebook.
BP's and the Obama government's "Big Lie" is floundering as the weight of the evidence of their lies and eco-criminality mounts.
With many thanks to Keith Woodward for sending this on to us.
Robert M*
"I just got this from a friend fisherman in Florida.
It just shows that the oil did not disappear but is slowly getting into the food chain. BP and the media are covering this up. This is only the start of chain reaction in the food chain.
Would you eat this??????
Please send this picture to everyone who cares about gulf seafood."

Climate Change by BP Oil Spill by Gianluigi Zangari
Frascati National Laboratories - National Insititute of Nuclear Physics
Fermi, Italy
BP Oil Spill may cause an irreparable damage to the Gulf Stream global climate thermoregulation activity.
The Gult Stream importance in global climate thermoregulation processes is well assessed. The real time satellite data maps of May-June 2010 processed by Colorado Center for Astrodynamics Research checked at Frascati Laboratories by the means of the SHT congruent calculus and compared with past years data, show or the irst time a direct evidence of rapid breaking of the Loop Current, a warm ocean current, crucial part of the Gulf Stream. As displayed both by the sea surface velocity maps and the sea surface height maps, the Loop Current broke down or the first time around May 18th and generated a clock wise eddy, which is still active. (Maps on PDF file)
The star on the map indicates the site of BP platform "Deepwater Horizon" and the breaking of the Loop Stream. The situation has deteriorated up to the point in which the eddy has detached itself completely from the main stream therefore destroying completely the Loop Current dated June 12th 2010.
Since comparative analysis with past satellite data until May 2010 didn't show relevant anomalies, it might be therefore plausible to correlate the breaking of the Loop Current with the biochemical and physical action of the BP Oil Spill on the Gulf Stream.
It is reasonable to foresee the threat that the breaking of a crucial warm stream as the Loop Current may generate a chain reaction of unpredictable critical phenomena and instabilities due to strong non linearities which may have serious consequences on the dynamics of the Gulf Stream thermos regulation activity of the Global Climate.
http://argo.colorado.edu/~realtime/welcome/
The following is from John Moore's PDF file 'Gulf Stream Stopped II' that the link no longer works for.
Here are the two critical questions regarding climate change:
1.) How soon will the stopped Gulf Stream affect agriculture?
2.) How bad will it be?
As to question #1: What I'm hearing at this point in time is as soon as 90-120 days to as
long as 24 months. We are fairly certain that the adverse impact on growing grain will be
severe. Russia has already stopped exporting grain because of drought affecting yields of
grains. China is stockpiling commodities, such as soybeans, exchanging commodities for
the U.S. debt instruments that have lost value over the past five years.
As to question #2: Grains are the basic food for 6.5 billion people and unknown millions
of domestic animals. Wheat, corn, soybeans and rice constitute a huge percentage of
food worldwide. These grains can tolerate only a certain range of high/low temperatures
and high/low precipitation. Anything outside what they normally can tolerate reduces the
harvest. Very extreme changes can wipe out the harvest completely. In addition, other
crops and animal production will be adversely impacted. This translates into higher food
prices for first world countries like the United States, Canada, and Western Europe. For
third world countries, this becomes malnutrition and the opportunistic diseases that
malnourished people succumb to.
In addition, we may see mass migrations (tens of millions) of people leaving England,
Ireland and Scotland, if for no other reason than they do not bury their pipes deep
enough! Other areas may see migrations as well. Areas that have had fairly mild winters
could soon have the same brutal winters of Moscow.
My friend Tim Spencer runs www.ruralsurvival.info . He has posted three You Tube
videos made by "The Earl of Stirling". While the quality of the video is poor, the audio
and the information are excellent! I highly recommend watching them.

Hutchison-Lazaryan frequency generator clears polluted Gulf waters
enemyofNWO Mon Nov 01, 2010 4:47 am
Mudra ,
I apologize if the following has been already posted .
SNIP
Hutchison-Lazaryan frequency generator clears polluted Gulf waters
Famous anti-gravity researcher, John Hutchison, and his associate, Nancy Lazaryan, have come up with a device that emits a combination of audio and radio frequencies that have the effect of clearing waters polluted by oil and dispersant in less than 24 hours, bringing the native life back.
by Sterling D. Allan
Pure Energy Systems News
Copyright © 2010
John Hutchison inspects his frequency generator that apparently can clear nearly a mile radius of polluted waters in the Gulf in less than 24 hours.
Concerned about the BP oil gusher disaster, John Hutchison and his research partner, Nancy Lazaryan have come up with a combination of audio and radio frequencies that now have been shown scientifically to reduce the oil and grease in polluted waters in the Gulf of Mexico from 7 ppm to less than 1 ppm, restoring the water's vitality as manifest by the return of fish, dolphins and even barnacles to a region of Perdido Bay in Lillian, Alabama, USA, where they conducted their first test in situ.
John is world famous for his work in eccentric, maverick research creating anti-gravity effects, transmutation of elements, and energy from rock-like compounds. Now, with Nancy's help, he has applied his knowledge of frequencies to produce what could be a solution to the pollution from oil and dispersants in the Gulf and elsewhere in the world.
"The local residents may now finally have hope for getting their Gulf back and restoring it to the healthy body it once was, if not better, before the Oil Disaster," said Cara Fay, who is a friend of John and Nancy, and has been following their work on this project, which began in July, when a sample of polluted water was sent to John's lab in Vancouver, BC. Based on success in finding the right frequencies, John and Nancy recently headed to the Gulf to try a test on location, with scientific documentation by a chemistry lab to corroborate their observations.

Thank you for this excellent article enemyofNWO.
This gives great hope.
Now all we need is have this technology used in the Gulf.
Researchers came up with answers and solutions all along
since this spill started but none of them were used.
We even don't hear anylonger of Costner's turbins .
If all the people of good will were allowed to come together
and confront the problem I have no doubt the Gulf can be
brought back to normal in a resasonable span of time.
Love from me

What is going on at West Sirius?
Posted on November 1, 2010 by concernedcitizensofflorida
A New Drilling Rig at the Macondo Site?
- BK Lim
31 Oct 2010
http://phoenixrisingfromthegulf.wordpress.com/2010/11/01/what-is-going-on-at-west-sirius/
In a press statement released on 19 Sept 2010, BP confirmed that “the well kill operations on the MC252 well in the Gulf of Mexico are now complete with both the casing and annulus of the well sealed by cement”.
This was BP’s 19 Sept Press statement
BP will now proceed to complete the abandonment of the MC252 well, which includes removing portions of the casing and setting cement plugs. A similar plugging and abandonment of both relief wells will occur as well.
BP will also now begin the process of dismantling and recovering containment equipment and decontaminating vessels that were in position at the wellsite.
~~~~~~~~~~end of quote~~~~~~
After that press statement, one would have thought the activities at the Macondo site would have started to wind down and the expensive drilling rigs demobilized from site as soon as possible.
This was again confirmed by BP’s 1 Oct Press statement
Since the Macondo well was finally confirmed sealed on September 19, BP has been completing the process of plugging and abandoning the well. This includes removing portions of the casing and setting cement plugs.
BP has also started the process of dismantling and recovering containment equipment and decontaminating the vessels that were in position at the wellsite. The cost of the response to September 29 amounts to approximately $11.2 billion, including the cost of the spill response, containment, relief well drilling, static kill and cementing, grants to the Gulf states, claims paid and federal costs.
~~~~~~~~~~end of quote~~~~~~
Contrary to BP’s press statements, the site activities did not die down. The number of vessels working in the area seems to have increased in recent times. Now forty-seven (47) days after the rogue well was supposedly “bottom killed permanently at 18000ft bml on 15 Sept 2010”, a new drilling rig (West Sirius) arrived at the Macondo site. Figure 130-1 shows the location of West Sirius at the Macondo Site. Figure 130-2 gives the location details of West Sirius which had been at location since 27 Oct 2010. If the West Sirius was meant to replace either one of the two earlier rigs, why are DD2 and DD3 still on site?

Gulf Barefoot Doctors head, Delia LaBarre commends Edwards' Gulf Operation dot connecting but questions "sweeping conclusions" he presented because they are not supported by the data. (See: Gulf man-made bacteria, Blue Plague, vaccines: 'Spill' headlines roundup)
"It's extraordinary research, to be sure, and we all owe him a debt of gratitude for what would have remained a secret for who knows how long had he not taken the water samples and had them analyzed, researched the patents, and carefully presented the information," stated LaBarre.
"His emotional conclusion, however, blames all the symptoms we've been experiencing and/or had reported to us on these biological agents introduced into the Gulf by BP and our government, in contradiction to what we know about the effects of the chemicals in the crude oil and Corexit."
LaBarre cites the case of Kinda Arnesen, "gracious about everyone in the world being concerned about her bout with a staph infection, which I understand was eventually knocked out once she found a doctor who would properly diagnose and provide her the treatment she knew she needed: a super antibiotic shot."
