BP lies and the serious situation of the Gulf of Mexico

[Bejvas]

Matt Simmons, a famous oil executive, talked about what really is happening at the Gulf of Mexico and died 6 weeks later. Of course nothing has been done about the situation, which just keeps aggravating...

Would this be another attempt to slowly kill more people?

Matthew Roy Simmons (April 7, 1943-- August 8, 2010) was a famous oil exec who became a BP whistleblower in the weeks before his strange death. Much of what he stated about the disaster was later proven true. He advocated for a complete evacuation of the Gulf of Mexico states, respirators to be supplied to all 20+ million people living on the Gulf (because of fumes from toxic crude, not corexit, which according to him is "worse than mustard gas"), and he believed the real source of the oil was coming from a giant blow-out 10 miles away from the well B site. He also stated (although not in this interview but one closer to his death) that relief wells would never be able to cope with the enormous pressures coming out of the seafloor. He stated the video of the underwater "source" of the leak couldnt possibly contribute to the amount of oil seen in the Gulf. Mr. Simmons was founder and chairman emeritus of Simmons & Company International, and was a prominent figure in the field of peak oil. Simmons was motivated by the 1973 energy crisis to create an investment banking firm catering to oil companies. In his previous capacity, he served as energy adviser to U.S. President George W. Bush. He was, up until his death, a member of the National Petroleum Council and the Council on Foreign Relations.

Simmons, who lived in Houston, Texas, died at his vacation home in North Haven, Maine, on August 8, 2010, at the age of 67. He was found in his outdoor hot tub, on a night when temps had dropped from 90 to 40 F and some local areas had over 4 inches of rain...hot tub weather?? The cause of death was ruled "accidental drowning with heart disease a contributing factor". Simmons was the author of the book "Twilight in the Desert: The Coming Saudi Oil Shock and the World Economy", published in 2005. His examination of oil reserve decline rates helped raise awareness of the unreliability of Middle East oil reserves. He gave numerous presentations on Peak Oil and water shortages. Simmons believed that the Club of Rome predictions are more accurate than usually acknowledged. Simmons was the founder of the Ocean Energy Institute in Maine. His vision was to make Maine a leader in energy from offshore wind and ocean forces.

In this interview from June 28th 2010, 6 weeks before his death, he spoke with Rick Wiles of TruNews stating that "BP was lying through its teeth" and addressed the numerous reasons for his concern.

Personal communications and emails from a man who worked with Simmons (which I have verified) stated he was going public with the possibility of future ground gas pressures that would expand at supersonic speed (think booms underground) through the oil rivers and aquifers (which are all connected) and cause fault instability and other geological problems. These problems would occur at great distances from the Mercondo well. Which may be exactly what we are seeing happen now with the Louisiana sinkhole and saltdome problems, as well as sinkhole reports from all over the Gulf coast states from Texas (and Mexico) up through the St Lawrence and Quebec/Ontario.

Sinkhole explosive methane officially life threatening, residents not told

top national news
October 6, 2012
By: Deborah Dupre

Officials advised the Assumption Parish President on Thursday that Bayou Corne sinkhole area has high levels of methane in nearby water wells, posing risks to health, fire and explosion and that residents need to heed the mandatory evacuation order. That day, parish officials postponed Saturday's resident briefing with no explanation.

“Of the chemicals reviewed, only methane, detected in the industrial water wells, presents a potential health risk (Type 2 of fire/explosion),” Dr. Raoult Ratard, State Epidemiologist of the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals Office (DHH) of Public Health stated in an environmental data report of the Bayou Corne oil and gas sinkhole event sent to Assumption Parish President Martin S. Triche Thursday.

That morning, at 9:00 a.m., parish officials stated in a blog post developed to keep residents informed about the sinkhole incident, “*NOTE* The resident briefing scheduled for Saturday morning has been rescheduled for Tuesday, October 9, 2012 at the Command Post at 6:00 p.m.

Methane, the mysterious 'powerful underground force' reported by officials?

Speculations are increasing that methane is the mysterious "powerful underground force" wreaking havoc in south Louisiana, including the sinkhole disaster area.

Methane gas leaks are spreading throughout the south Louisiana area. Within four months, as of this week, methane bubbling sites have increased to twenty-eight, including in Pierre Part, outside the mandatory evacuation area but within hearing distance and jolts of seismic activities where foul chemical odors are nauseating and burning, as some residents there have reported.

When power flickered out a brief spell Friday night, one Pierre Part resident Alicia Heilig, 27, was too frightened to sleep.

Heilig lives near one of the latest detected bubbling sites, #16 on the parish map, and has struggled with her two children and mother being sick since the sinkhole gas incident and the smell of strong chemicals there began.

“I took a drive down to the sinkhole area to make sure it wasn’t anything to do with that,” Heilig told reporter Deborah Dupré in an email.

“That whole area is hazy," Heilig wrote. “Almost like fog, but its not foggy anywhere else."

A power truck was parked at the sinkhole area gas station, according to Heilig.

"Don’t know what’s up, but glad my kids aren’t home tonight,” she reported, further indicating the ongoing human rights to health and security violation.

Ratard stated in the Oct. 3 letter that high levels of methane have been detected in water wells in the sinkhole area, according to DHH that reviewed 11 samples and readings.

“With levels as high as 22,400, 26,600 and 27, 700 ug/L, it would appear immediate remediation is warranted,” DHH advises.

The DHH letter to Triche "encourages local residents" to do three things:

1) "heed the evacuation orders issued"

2) "avoid restricted areas"

3) "discuss any health concerns they have with their physician"

According to the parish official blog post where residents are updated, and to residents, parish officials have yet to advise them about the DHH letter about high levels of methane or what they are being encouraged to do.

Gas has also been found in the aquifer above the 1-mile by 3-mile Napoleonville Salt Dome farther east and deeper underground in the dome’s hard cap rock, Department of Natural Resources (DNR) officials said. DNR then ordered the Napoleonville Dome’s seven operators to find and vent or flare any gas.

On Sept. 14, the DNR issued an underreported Declaration of Emergency and Directive advisory regarding gas in the sinkhole area being life-threatening.

In that advisory, Louisiana DNR’s Commissioner of Conservation James H. Welsh stated:

"It is hereby declared that the presence of natural gas in formations and sands shallower than the underlying cap-rock, and in the Mississippi Alluvial Aquifer, and its top stratum in and around the Bayou Corne area has the potential to threaten lives, the environment, property and operations, sites and facilities under the regulatory authority of the commissioner of conservation."

The 4-acre sinkhole emerged on Aug. 3 after two months of thousands of earthquakes and natural gas bubbling in the swampland area waterways and at some of the land-based water wells.

“This sucks to have to live where you get freaked out anytime there’s a loud noise or if the power flicks off,” Heilig said Friday. “I’m so on edge and jumpy right now.”

A transformer failed at 12:59 a.m. in Baton Rouge 50 miles from the sinkhole, according to the website of Entergy Louisiana LLC.

Frank’s Casing Crew and Rental Tools of Lafayette has been contracted to drill three shallow wells to explore the gas in the aquifer.

DNR spokesman Patrick Courreges said Thursday that officials signed contracts earlier this week with the company. The drilling equipment is expected on-site Saturday and Sunday. 


Courreges said that the approximately 100 feet deep wells will be on land between the sinkhole and Bayou Corne community and another located west of Bayou Corne to see if gas is that far west in the aquifer.

Air is being tested from three new bubble sites farther west of the sinkhole, toward Pierre Part, according to officials.

The sinkhole is engulfing the entire 1-mile by 3-mile Napoleonville Salt Dome, according to at least one lifetime resident of the area. Scientists working on the disaster have also listed the salt dome "moving" as a possibility.

"I think they need to tell people the truth and how serious this can be," Heilig's mother, Deby told Dupré on the telephone Thursday. "Be honest, especially about the water; that it could be contaminated, even far from the sinkhole."

Yippee, we are all gonna die.

Certainly is a mess.

[Bsuds]

we are all gonna die.

That''s one of the few things you have posted that I agree with. We just might differ as to when and how.
