Veteran Assaulted, Arrested for Diplaying "Impeach Obama" Sign
The Bill of Rights is dead. What you are witnessing in this video is a disabled U.S. military veteran being assaulted by security at the Alaska state fair and then arrested by them and a state police officer. His crime? A large color banner depicting Barry Soetorobama with a Hitler mustache and a message urging his impeachment. The fat security vermin tried to get the man to fold up his sign and leave, and when the veteran told the pond scum that he knew his rights and was practicing his right to free speech in a public area, he was tackled and smothered by the fatties.
An undercover state trooper arrives to support the arrest, asking the fatties if they are OK, as if the LaRouche supporter had harmed them or been a danger. But wait, it gets worse:
Sidney Hill was in jail awaiting a pre-trial at 1:00 pm on August 27, 2010 at the Palmer Courthouse. He has been charged with Assault 4-Cause Fear Of Injury, Disorderly Conduct-Challenge To Fight, and Criminal Trespass 2- Upon Premises.
That's what the police are doing all over the country -- they see someone they don't like, they arrest them on false premises and charge the innocent citizens with assaulting the police, when in fact the citizens are always the ones who suffer assaults from the police. The two security guards should be brought up on assault charges and the state trooper should be suspended pending an investigation regarding why an innocent man was hurt and taken to jail for holding a sign. This is disgusting but it is becoming all to common. The Gestapo have arrived. You have no more right to free speech under the criminal, illegal alien, verminous piece of filth, puppet president Soetoro. Soon his equivalent of the SA will arrive, then the SS. History always repeats itself, and that's what we're in the middle of right now.

Fire in the Twilight
Harris County Clerk Beverly Kaufman Friday morning said she is confident of timely, clean elections in November, even after a fire that destroyed the county's entire inventory of 10,000 electronic voting machines. . .
The three-alarm blaze started about 4:15 a.m. at the football field-size warehouse the county uses to store its election equipment. Firefighters extinguished the flames about four hours later.
Arson is a serious crime and I do not condone it, but the fire which destroyed all of Houston's electronic voting machines was indeed the act of criminals, I would lean towards the lighter side of the punishment spectrum for the perpetrators. These machines have been proven to be easy to tamper with -- go and watch the HBO documentary Hacking Democracy for the nasty truth about these devices. Electronic voting machines can be hacked into using simple techniques, and that is not by accident, rather by design.
George W. Bush, whom I stupidly voted for both times he ran for the presidency, was likely given that office due to direct voting fraud. But he didn't have to employ the same physical voting fraud tactics that politicians have used since written history began. Instead, a few operatives in undisclosed typed a few commands on their keyboards and instantaneously, ruthlessly, the vote of the American people was nullified. And the same intelligence agents, working for the globalist elite, were standing in November of 2008, should early returns show that "Barack Obama" was either losing to John McShame or if the phony conservative were running too close to their hand-picked minion for comfort.
Until all electronic voting machines are thrown onto the scrap heap and voters once again can trust our elections, we can never be certain that the people being elected were actually elected. The globalists can simply tap on their keyboards and change the votes any which way they like. Until we get a system of vote counting back where there is a traceable paper trail, we cannot trust the government. Even after such a time we must never trust the government, but at least we should be able to trust our election process.

A Most Dangerous Game
A specially upgraded Russian Akula class submarine has been caught trying to record the acoustic signature made by the Vanguard submarines that carry Trident nuclear missiles, according to senior Navy officers.
British submariners have also reported that they are experiencing the highest number of "contacts" with Russian submarines since 1987.
If the Russians are able to obtain a recording of the unique noise of the boat's propellers it would have serious implications for Britain's nuclear deterrent. Using its sophisticated sonar, the Akula would be able to track Vanguards and potentially sink them before they could launch their Trident D4 missiles. . .
The Russians have been playing games with us, the Americans and French in the North Atlantic," a senior Navy commander said."
The Russians have been increasing their chest-out posture the last few years, increasingly attempting to provoke conflict with the West. They've been flying their Bear and Blackjack bombers along Alaskan airspace, tailing our aircraft carrier groups with submarines, and now they are following a British Vanguard sub, one of four in their arsenal, which carries Trident ICBM missiles. Each submarine has a unique acoustic signature and the Russians are attempting to record the sound of this one so that they can identify and track in the future. The British are unwilling to allow this and have assigned an escort hunter-killer sub.
Vladimir Putin would love nothing more than to start a skirmish with the British or with the United States. Already hugely popular in his country, Putin's popularity numbers would soar even higher, perhaps paving a path back to open control of Russia. As it stands now he pretends to be second-in-command to Medvedev, and even though everyone knows who really runs the country, this surely is a detriment to his not insubstantial ego. The positions of our two countries are similar to those in the late '80s, just before the Soviet Union collapsed, only they are swapped -- the United States is collapsing while Russia, and their Communist friends in China, are poised to overtake us as superpowers. Putin's games could turn very deadly, very soon.

Shot Down in Flames
EPA Rejects Petition to Ban Lead Bullets
EPA today denied a petition submitted by several outside groups for the agency to implement a ban on the production and distribution of lead hunting ammunition. EPA reached this decision because the agency does not have the legal authority to regulate this type of product under the Toxic Substances Control Act -- nor is the agency seeking such authority.
Two things to say about this -- thank God, literally, and I am truly astonished. All this week conservatives and gun owners had been dreading the decision to come from the EPA. A trio of verminous, liberal enviro-fascist organizations petitioned that agency to ban lead bullets and fishing weights. Because of their "concern" for the "environment," of course, not because the liberals want to destroy the Second Amendment. I can't believe the EPA actually denied that request. Don't be surprised if Soetorobama replaces the head of that agency soon, or if he "retires" to spend more time with his family. Barry would love nothing more than to neuter the gun owners of America. This would have been perfect -- he wouldn't even have to have Homeland Insecurity confiscate everyone's firearms if they were rendered useless by lack of available ammunition. Score one for real Americans today.

Flock of (Dead) Seagulls
Environmental Survey Reveals "Dead Bird Island"
On Thursday, August 19, 2010 LEAN/LMRKwent on a sampling trip into Terrebonne Bay… accompanied by Alexandra Cousteau, granddaughter of Jacques Cousteau…
What we encountered [Modoto Island] stunned us all. The ground was littered with… [s]o many dead birds that we aren’t sure how many were out there, many dozens of dead birds just in the small area which we surveyed on the island… [in] various states of decay, from scattered bones to a tern that couldn’t have been dead for more than a day and everything in between, that this is an ongoing situation.
We also saw a juvenile gull that was in distress. It could hardly walk and was very unsteady… By the time we finished our sampling and were ready to leave the island the bird had died.

BP's Fishing Operation Ends in Failure
BP, do you have any BOPs?
Go fish!
Do you have any Top Hats?
Go fish!
Do you have any idea what you're doing?
Go fish!
BP's attempt to "fish" three pieces of pipe from the blow-our preventer of its runaway Macondo well has not worked and the company is preparing to move forward with removing the blow-out preventer and replacing it with a new one.
The pieces of pipe have settled against the blow-out preventer and the company is unable to retrieve them, National Incident Commander Thad Allen said in a press briefing this morning.
Officials made the decision to stop attempting to fish out the pipe "due to the apparent fragility of the pipe, which keeps breaking off ... and the unknown condition of the blow-out preventer," Allen said.
What a surprise! BP has failed yet again in their operations at site MC252. If they were even trying to succeed, who knows. They had been d!@king around the last few days supposedly trying to fish their well pipe out of the broken blowout preventer but now have given up. Why this was even attempted was never made clear to the press or public. The idiot who is nominally in charge of the Gulf oil disaster response, Thad Allen himself , seemed not to be able to provide a cogent reason for the attempt.
So now on Monday the cap which was put on top of the well on July 15 will be removed and "temporarily stored nearby" on the sea floor, after which time BP will try and replace the failed BOP with a new, sturdier one. That operation is expected to last until Wednesday. The brilliant reporter who wrote this article seemed not to grasp the obvious -- after the cap is removed, and until the new BOP is in place and the well is once again capped, the oil and methane will flow unimpeded. Unless BP has plans to somehow shunt the flow up into its Q4000 burner vessel or into tankers, this will be the case. Again I do not know because no one evidently thought to ask the submoron Allen about that detail.
This whole things stinks. The laughable Admiral already has admitted to the media that he gets 100% of his information from a single source -- BP. The government has already announced their upping of the ante in the cover-up of this crime in the Gulf -- that taxpayers will pay Transocean itself to raise the wrecked equipment from the deep. The BOP is said to be the key piece of evidence from the deep. Do you honestly think, with hundreds of billions of dollars potentially at stake, that BP and Transocean will hand over the real evidence of their crime to the government?
Maybe they will, since BP owns Barry Soetorobama, but I doubt that will happen. I am guessing, wildly speculating, that the company will either present a different, doctored BOP to the government, or that just as they were unable to "fish" the broken well pipe out from that device, they will somehow be unable to raise the BOP. Perhaps when the well's cap is removed, the renewed petroleum geyser will rocket the BOP away, and BP will "lose" it. After all, even with multiple ROVs grasping parts of the BOP with their thrusters acting in unison to drag it safely away, you all saw the power and thrust of the gusher. There's no way that the subs could counter the force of that oil and methane unless somehow the equipment stack contains valves below the level of the BOP that could be closed to shut off that flow.
I don't know -- this is all speculation. And it is speculation because BP are still being suspiciously secretive about what is going on at MC252. The well-meaning but facile Thad Allen doesn't have a clue, and he's supposed to be in charge, so how could I know? I'm raising questions which the public deserves to have answered. The media are not doing their job, so we "small people," bloggers and the like are forced to do it for them. BP will go down for their crimes, we will see to it. Unfortunately for Tony Hayward, who loves to get out on his yacht and flaunt his lifestyle while the Gulf of Mexico is destroyed, there is no fishing to be done in federal prison. Activities are strictly limited, and he'll be concentrating on keeping from having to fish certain substances out of his own pipe. The lifers love to mount exploratory missions to the nether regions of the fresh fish, Tony. Watch your back(side).

Chuck Norris on Obama's Domestic Assassination Squad
And it's the gravest nightmare of U.S. citizens and abandonment of our Constitution to date: a presidential assassination program in which U.S. citizens are in the literal scopes of the executive branch based upon nothing more than allegations of terrorism involvement as the branch defines it.
Of course, the CIA has executed covert assassinations of foreigners for decades. But tragically, Obama is expanding this program to include American, non-Islamic, stateside, homegrown terrorists.
It all started in January, when The Washington Post reported: "As part of the operations, Obama approved a Dec. 24 strike against a (Yemeni) compound where a U.S. citizen, Anwar al-Aulaqi, was thought to be meeting with other regional al-Qaeda leaders. Although he was not the focus of the strike and was not killed, he has since been added to a shortlist of U.S. citizens specifically targeted for killing or capture."
"A shortlist of U.S. citizens specifically targeted for killing"?
That's right. No arrest. No Miranda rights. No due process. No trial. Just a bullet.

Cameron on the Cameras
I personally dislike James Cameron but he is a master filmmaker. He is also angry at BP, as we all should be, for their criminal program of stalling the cleanup of the Gulf of Mexico and hiding the oil with dispersants. And he has called them out on their lack of transparency, their control of 100% of the information coming out of that region:
But Cameron said the the oil giant has been running roughshod over the EPA, Coast Guard and scientific experts since the early days of the largest environmental disaster in U.S. history. He points to the use of the toxic dispersant, Corexit - BP says it weighed the risks and had government approval - and the company's blockade of outside inspection of the wellhead site.
"It's a bit like having the bank robbers run the video surveillance of the vault," says Cameron. . .
"[The world is in worse shape] than anything I dreamed up for 'The Terminator,'" said Cameron, referring to his 1984 post-Apocalyptic thriller. "I should make a new 'Terminator'-like movie where someone travels back in time to warn us before it's too late."

A View to a Fish Kill
Massive Fish Kills Continue to Spread
"By our estimates there were thousands - and I'm talking about 5,000 to 15,000 - dead fish," St. Bernard Parish President Craig Taffaro told reporters. "Different species were found dead, including crabs, sting rays, eel, drum, speckled trout, red fish, you name it, included in that kill."
The next day, a thick, orange substance with tar balls and a "strong diesel smell" was discovered around Grassy Island, near the fish kill, according to a news release.
Taffaro admitted that there was oil in the area, but cautioned against assuming it was the cause of the fish kill. . .
But Dr. Cake, along with commercial fishermen and Gulf Coast environmentalists, are drawing direct parallels to BP's oil disaster and the use of toxic dispersants as the likely cause of the increased numbers of fish kills they are witnessing.
"There are several parallels to the spill," Dr. Cake added. "We have evidence from fisherman operating in the VOO [Vessels of Opportunity] fleet and fishermen in the area who observed the spraying of dispersants by both aircraft and vessels in the immediate vicinity of the fish kills. Therein lies one triggering mechanism."
He said another factor is that dispersed oil "provides nutrients for phytoplankton, and this may have triggered a bloom of plankton, otherwise known as a red tide, and you would then have a fish kill from the red tide organisms. I understand that the phytoplankton out there is causing fish kills, but still the triggering mechanism is the presence of the oil and dispersants."
I told you this would happen. The scientists who have been bought off by BP claim that it is natural hypoxia, or lack of oxygen in the water, that is causing the fish kills being reported all over the Gulf Coast and along Eastern seaboard up to New England. It is not. The honest scientists know why there is not enough oxygen in the water to sustain life -- BP's massive use of Corexit and its reactions will the hundreds of millions of gallons of oil and hundreds of millions of cubic feet of methane released. And more and more people are being sickened by the poisons, more plants are being literally eaten through by the toxic rain. But BP says nothing ever happened, and Barry and Michelle Soetorobama are on another vacation, feasting on Maine lobster before the oil and dispersant make it up to Maine, killing the lobsters. The whole lot of them are disgusting criminals who should be in prison.

The Incredible, Inedible Eggs
Egg Recall Grows to Affect Entire Country
The massive egg recall due to salmonella contamination is the latest proof that the government is incapable of or does not in fact want to protect the American people from dangerous foods. Alex Jones spoke briefly on the radio today about the recall, saying he thought the government may have staged the salmonella problem as part of the overall push to federalize the entire business of food in the United States. I personally don't think they put salmonella in the eggs. They don't have to. All the government has to do is to keep on looking the other way, failing to properly inspect the giant agribusiness, and problems like this will occur naturally.
I'm sure you remember the massive spinach recall a couple of years back, when it was literally impossible to buy bagged spinach at the grocery store. We had the lettuce recall, I seem to remember a recall of green onion sparked by people sickened at Taco Bell, then a couple of times a year there are massive recalls of beef, chicken, pork and turkey meat. There currently are recalls of deli meat and beef. Let's take a look at just the past seven days' worth of recalls from the FDA:

Fantastic. You might say wait, this proves the FDA are doing a good job if they are finding contaminated or wrongly-formulated food and products like diet supplements. That's only half the story -- finding the products are faulty once they are in the retail consumer chain. What they should be doing a much better job of is inspecting the large, corporate farms, dairies, ranches, meat packing plants, food processing plants and the factories that make drugs and dietary supplements. But they aren't and it's because of the same reason why the government lets big companies get away with violations which mom-and-pop operations would be crucified for: the government is bought and paid for by these giant mega-corporations in the same way that they are also owned by the banksters.
It's a buddy system where if you're a friend, a patron of your Congressman or Senator, you can get away with murder. Well, manslaughter anyway -- almost every time one of these giant recalls is announced it is on the heels of stories of dead Americans. Thus far I haven't heard any deaths reported from the eggs, just of violently ill people. But there are probably still a lot of recalled eggs out there in people's refrigerators that should have been thrown away. More people will likely get ill from the eggs, since there are people who will hear news of a recall but not take the time to check the carton they bought.
The whole FDA failure to properly regulate the food industry is just another example of what Jones talks constantly about -- we pay ever increasing taxes and get in return ever diminishing services. Police departments like that of Oakland will no longer respond to car thefts or poisonings or over two dozen other serious crimes. But Soetorobama wants a carbon tax, Pelosi and Reid want a V.A.T. and Philadelphia is trying to charge people $300 for the privilege of exercising their First Amendment right to free speech, should anyone dare to write a weblog. It's a disgusting slide into tyranny we are witnessing. The egg recall may not seem connected in any way, but everything is connected at some level. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
The massive egg recall due to salmonella contamination is the latest proof that the government is incapable of or does not in fact want to protect the American people from dangerous foods. Alex Jones spoke briefly on the radio today about the recall, saying he thought the government may have staged the salmonella problem as part of the overall push to federalize the entire business of food in the United States. I personally don't think they put salmonella in the eggs. They don't have to. All the government has to do is to keep on looking the other way, failing to properly inspect the giant agribusiness, and problems like this will occur naturally.
I'm sure you remember the massive spinach recall a couple of years back, when it was literally impossible to buy bagged spinach at the grocery store. We had the lettuce recall, I seem to remember a recall of green onion sparked by people sickened at Taco Bell, then a couple of times a year there are massive recalls of beef, chicken, pork and turkey meat. There currently are recalls of deli meat and beef. Let's take a look at just the past seven days' worth of recalls from the FDA:

London, You Have a Problem...
What you are looking at is a special camera that BP inserted into the blowout preventer as part of their "fishing" operation to remove the drill pipe from the BOP, ahead of them replacing that broken piece of equipment with a new one. The problem: bubbles of oil coming out. According to BP and proven yet again to be a lie, no oil or gas is leaking from the well. But many videos have been captured and uploaded to Youtube showing just that. This leak is particularly troubling because it means that there is still some communication, as BP calls it, between their petroleum reservoir and the wellhead.
BP said that after the ostensible successful cap was put in place that there was no communication, the well is sealed, everything is fine and the disaster never happened. This proves that they lied again, but after the hundreds of lies we've already been told to absorb I suppose this little video won't be interesting enough to the media to make in on CNN or Fox. But if there's even a trickle of communication, that means the top-kill was not 100% successful. And what I'm afraid of is another methane kick like the one that took out Deepwater Horizon blowing the well(s) wide open again.
No one can say whether that will happen, only that it is a remote possibility. But the oil and methane still trapped in that reservoir is moving around under pressure, trying to find its way out through the cracks in the sea floor and through the numerous small leaks still at the well(s). I hope BP can successfully remove the old, damaged BOP and put the new one on without incident, but I'm nervous.

Nightflyers
Chemist Confirms Corexit Still Being Applied
Naman further said he saw mercenaries dressed in all black fatigues, using gps coordinates, applying Corexit 9527 at Dauphin Island and at Bayou La Batre, Alabama. The mercenaries were "Blackwater"-type mercenaries, and Naman assumed they must have been hired either by BP or the government.
Naman also told me that Corexit 9527 is being sprayed at night, and that it is being applied in such a haphazard manner that undiluted 9527 is running onto beach sand.
I urge you to read the article. Naman is a chemist who tested water samples for dispersants. "9527" refers to a lesser known and used variant of Corexit, the type usually simply referred to as Corexit is Corexit 9500. The chemists eyewitness account of Blackwater-type mercenaries dressed in black and secretly applying dispersants at night corroborates what other residents of the Gulf have been telling the media. But BP says that they are no longer using any dispersant.
It's obvious what's going on here -- BP is continuing to try and hide the oil, keeping it in small drops and sunk still below the surface of the water. So they've hired some unknown company to continue spraying the deadly poison Corexits at night. Others have reported planes flying at night with their lights off, which is illegal, also spraying Corexit from the air. I have no doubt that BP also has ships running around dumping even more into the water. But according to the company and the Coast Guard this is not happening.
Except that it is, and the entire cover-up of the extent of the Gulf oil disaster is starting to fly apart. BP and Barry Soetorobama can no longer pretend that nothing ever happened and that the Gulf of Mexico is as normal as it was before Deepwater Horizon exploded, marking the beginning of the worst environmental disaster in the history of the United States of America. How much longer will the citizens of the five Gulf states continue to allow BP to have secret mercenary squads spraying Corexit on the ground, and to have planes flying at night spraying it from above? It's time for the citizens and their local sheriffs to get directly involved.

Gulf of the Living Dead
A Biochemical Time Bomb Ticks Away in the Gulf
Recently, frustrated scientists presented evidence that millions of Gulf area residents were poisoned by the BP Gulf disaster. Worse, they believe that millions more could be exposed to long term poisoning.
Yet other than those worried scientists few seemed to care.
Now more frightening evidence has emerged: areas of the Gulf Coast may have been saturated with high levels of benzene, hydrogen sulfide and radioactive hydrocarbon effluents--three deadly substances that can cause disease and death years after the initial exposures. . .
eyond the oil gushing into the Gulf at a rate never before seen, deadly methane gas flooded the region. The methane reached such high levels of density in the Gulf that brilliant scientists like Dr. John Kessler of Texas A&M recorded stunning readings of methane--amounts one million times higher than normal. His reports managed to reach the media.
Although access to the forbidden zone has been restored, a partial news blackout remains in place blocking public access to the data that measured toxicity in the Gulf waters and Gulf states from April into August. . .
Some environmental experts are calling what’s pouring into the land, sea and air from the seabed breach ‘a chemical cocktail of poisons.’
Areas of methane dead zones devoid of oxygen are continuing to drive species of fish into foreign waters, are killing plankton and other tiny sea life that are the foundation for the entire food chain, and are polluting the air with cancer-causing chemicals and poisonous rainfalls.
And before the news blackout fully descended, the EPA released data that benzene levels in New Orleans had rocketed to as high as 3,000 parts per billion (ppb).
Benzene is extremely toxic, even short term exposure at low levels can cause agonizing illness and slow death from cancerous lesions and leukemia years later. But 3,000ppb is far from a low reading.
Hydrogen sulfide was also detected by the EPA monitoring stations around the New Orleans area. The EPA reported hydrogen sulfide levels as high as 1200ppb. A normal, safe level falls between 5 to 10ppb.
It sounds like the latest bad sequel to George Romero's classic horror flick, but some scientists are beginning to sound the alarm that people in the Gulf states have been and still are being poisoned, they just don't know it yet. The chemicals released naturally from BP's petroleum deposit and unnaturally from their Corexit and its interaction with the oil can kill a human being straight up if inhaled in sufficient concentration. But the more insidious side of the benzene, methane, hydrogen sulfide and all the rest is that in lower concentrations, it could take years for the damage now being done to be seen in the population.
I've written about the laundry list of symptoms that can develop with low-level but long-term exposure to these poisons, and do not need to go over that list again. But in their desperate attempt to hide the true scope of the Gulf oil disaster from the public, BP has dumped over 40 million gallons of Corexit 9500 into the Gulf of Mexico, and estimates range from a low of 140 million gallons of oil released to as many as 190 million. Even more methane was released, as experts estimated that 60%+ of the material spewing from BP's well was methane, and oil was in a slight minority by volume.
And the hiding of the oil by means of dispersant means that it will take much, much longer for all the oil to finally make its way out of the water and onto land. That indeed was BP's entire point in using so much deadly Corexit. Think about this -- Corexit was used in the cleanup efforts following the 1989 Exxon Valdez incident. Nearly all of the cleanup workers from that disaster are dead -- they died at an average age of 51, directly caused by their exposure to Corexit. Now obviously the residents of the Gulf Coast will not be exposed to the high levels of dispersant that the Valdez cleanup crews were, so we won't see whole town of people dropping dead instantly, as we have seen entire schools of fish do.
Instead, it will be a creeping death. A delayed one. Instead of dying quickly, people in the areas where the most oil and gases and Corexit happens to land will simply die at much higher rates from cancer, organ failure and blood and neurological disorders than the rest of the country. And that will be years down the road, so BP hopes it can put enough time between now and then that it will be impossible to prove cases of manslaughter in criminal court, or be found liable for damages to families of lost loved ones in civil court. I'm never going to the beaches of the Gulf Coast or East Coast again, and neither should anyone else who values their health.

Kangaroo Court
Appeals Court: Gov't Has Right To Track You With GPS
Government agents can sneak onto your property in the middle of the night, put a GPS device on the bottom of your car and keep track of everywhere you go. This doesn't violate your Fourth Amendment rights, because you do not have any reasonable expectation of privacy in your own driveway — and no reasonable expectation that the government isn't tracking your movements.
The rogue, criminal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which Savage calls the Ninth Jerk-it Court of Schlameels, has just ruled that the government has the right to invade your property, secretly place a GPS tracking device on your vehicle, then covertly track your movements, invading your privacy. But it's worse than that, because the court carved out an exception -- rich people who live behind fences and gates will not be subject to such intrusion, because the physical barriers they can afford to erect surrounding their property create a reasonable expectation of privacy. But you and I have no such protection, so, as the court ruled, if deliverymen and postal workers can walk up to your driveway, so can the FBI:
The judges veered into offensiveness when they explained why Pineda-Moreno's driveway was not private. It was open to strangers, they said, such as delivery people and neighborhood children, who could wander across it uninvited. (See the misadventures of the CIA.)
Chief Judge Alex Kozinski, who dissented from this month's decision refusing to reconsider the case, pointed out whose homes are not open to strangers: rich people's. The court's ruling, he said, means that people who protect their homes with electric gates, fences and security booths have a large protected zone of privacy around their homes. People who cannot afford such barriers have to put up with the government sneaking around at night.
This ruling, at least in the states affected by the Ninth's decision, effectively ends the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. No more rights for the poor people who live under the thumb of this collection of vermin who call themselves jurists. This decision is an outrage and the people of California and the other states within their jurisdiction should be picketing the courthouse. But I doubt we will see any sort of meaningful protest because the government and media have been getting us slowly used to the continual erosion of our rights. The Constitution is dead, long live the Constitution.
Plenty of liberals have objected to this kind of spying, but it is the conservative Chief Judge Kozinski who has done so most passionately. "1984 may have come a bit later than predicted, but it's here at last," he lamented in his dissent. And invoking Orwell's totalitarian dystopia where privacy is essentially nonexistent, he warned: "Some day, soon, we may wake up and find we're living in Oceania."

Chu-Done-It?
Obama Minion Chu Told BP to Proceed With Dangerous 'Top-Kill'
Energy Secretary (and, of course, Winner of the Nobel Prize) Steven Chu told The Washington Post’s Joel Achenbach that he was responsible for convincing BP that the well had NOT lost integrity.
The Post reported Chu said, “BP engineers had assumed, after the ‘top kill’ failed, that the well had a loss of ‘integrity’ somewhere down below the wellhead, with breaches that let the mud from the operation surge into the rock formation instead of straight down the well.”
According to the article, Chu said, “I said, ‘No, I don’t think so, there’s another scenario,’” after which he suggested, “They could close the well and see what happened.”
Chu added, “The worst-case scenario is you create a fissure that doesn’t heal, and the entire reservoir empties.”
“By choking the flow at the top, the pressures could build to such high levels that the oil and gas could explode laterally, through the well casing. The hydrocarbons might flow into the surrounding formations and then work their way up, into the gulf,” reported Achenbach.
What have we here? I've been concentrating on demonizing BP for screwing up at every juncture in the Gulf oil disaster. I had only been criticizing the Soetorobama administration for doing nothing nothing to help and for stalling any meaningful cleanup and any proper investigation. Now I know why they are reluctant to let the truth come out. It's worse than I thought.
Steven Chu, who serves under Dear Leader Soetoro as head of the Department of Energy, encouraged BP to continue the very dangerous "top-kill" operation, even after BP engineers voiced their concerns that doing so could fracture the sea floor, making an already terrible disaster very much worse. Mr. Chu's bizarre reply, before telling them to go ahead and pump even more mud and cement under pressure into the rock formation:
“The worst-case scenario is you create a fissure that doesn’t heal, and the entire reservoir empties.”
Allow me to translate the situation for you. BP said to Soetorobama that they did not want to proceed with the second "top-kill," after the first attempt failed entirely. Barry told his minion Chu to do everything he could to make the Gulf oil disaster story go away before the November elections, so the brilliant Nobel Prize Winner rolled the dice and told BP to continue.
As the engineers feared, and as Chu and his boss hoped wouldn't but knew might happen, that high-pressure pumping indeed fractured the well casing to an even greater extent than had been done by the initial kick that doomed Deepwater Horizon, and the oil and gas from that giant petroleum reservoir is indeed leaking out through the sea floor at countless locations up to 20 miles away from the well sites.
Now we know why the government are cooperating with BP in trying to lie to the public that 76% of the oil magically disappeared. It was the government that all but ordered BP to continue the top-kill. And that procedure, while allowing the outward appearance of a neatly capped well with nice, clean water around it, caused something much worse than even the gushing well before its cap -- as Mr. Chu predicted, fissures have been created which will not heal. And the entire reservoir will not empty -- I must hold him to task since I'm a mere college graduate with a degree in hard science and he received the Nobel Prize...
Unless the sea floor breaks up entirely, in one massive, simultaneous shattering event, not all the oil and methane will get out. Just most of it. Because of the pressure of the water sitting on top of the reservoir, it will continue its slow leaks until such time as the pressure in the petroleum deposit equalizes with that of the water. But that's bad enough. Maybe Mr. Chu should go back to school and stop meddling in affairs in which he has no special education. It may have been his enlightened advice to BP which will end up meaning the Gulf states enjoying years and years of oil to come.

And the entire reservoir will not empty -- I must hold him to task since I'm a mere college graduate with a degree in hard science and he received the Nobel Prize...
Unless the sea floor breaks up entirely, in one massive, simultaneous shattering event, not all the oil and methane will get out. Just most of it. Because of the pressure of the water sitting on top of the reservoir, it will continue its slow leaks until such time as the pressure in the petroleum deposit equalizes with that of the water. But that's bad enough. Maybe Mr. Chu should go back to school and stop meddling in affairs in which he has no special education. It may have been his enlightened advice to BP which will end up meaning the Gulf states enjoying years and years of oil to come.
Jubilee
Oil and Methane Causing Sea Life to Attempt Escaping Water
BP Plc’s oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico may be exacerbating a natural phenomenon that causes fish, crabs, eels and shrimp to swarm the shoreline to escape oxygen-depleted sea waters.
Called “jubilees” by locals because of the opportunity to scoop up seafood in buckets, they typically appear during the summer along the Gulf Coast. This year, scientists say jubilees have occurred in open water for the first time, raising concern that low-oxygen areas are expanding because of the more than 4 million barrels of oil BP’s Macondo well leaked into the Gulf.
Low oxygen in the water because of oil and methane from the BP spill contributed to a “jubilee-like effect” in late June off the coast of Fort Morgan, Alabama, at the mouth of Mobile Bay, Monty Graham, a senior marine scientist at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab in Alabama, said in a telephone interview. Catfish, shrimp, crab and flounder piled up along an offshore sandbar, until the sharks moved in, Graham, 45, said.
How can something called a jubilee possibly be anything but a good thing? When it involves BP's oil disaster. Let me get this straight -- the oil and methane release is causing oxygen levels in the water to drop so low that creatures which can live only in water are jumping onto the beaches, out of the water, in order to try not to asphyxiate? But BP and Soetorobama say there never was a problem, certainly not a disaster, and that minor problem has been solved, so vote for your Dimocrats in November.
Barry ate a fish taco during his brief visit to the Gulf but he brought all his food and his chefs with him. He went swimming with his daughter but only the Secret Service and a Red House photographer were allowed to accompany them, they did not swim in the actual Gulf but in a protected bay into which no Gulf water flows, but which instead feeds water out into the Gulf from rivers. And since only one picture was released showing Soetoro and his offspring in clear blue water, while the water in that bay is greenish and somewhat opaque due to algal blooms, there is much doubt that he even swam anywhere other than in a swimming pool with fresh, treated water.
One bit of advice to the people in the Gulf states who might be tempted to collect the bounty of fish that are washing up on shore during this jubilee -- stay away, as far away as possible. Those fish are poisoned and will poison you. But the economy, destroyed by design even before April 20 and damaged to an even greater extent after, will probably prompt some poor souls who can no longer afford to eat to collect and cook these fish. In my opinion, BP will be responsible for their sicknesses and even deaths just as they are responsible for the manslaughter of the 11 men killed aboard Deepwater Horizon. They must pay.

Chemical Attack
Hydrogen Cyanide Levels Reach Deadly Range in LA
Hydrogen sulfide is both an irritant and a chemical asphyxiant with effects on both oxygen utilization and the central nervous system. Its health effects can vary depending on the level and duration of exposure. Repeated exposure can result in health effects occurring at levels that were previously tolerated without any effect.
Low concentrations irritate the eyes, nose, throat and respiratory system (e.g., burning/ tearing of eyes, cough, shortness of breath). Asthmatics may experience breathing difficulties. The effects can be delayed for several hours, or sometimes several days, when working in low-level concentrations.
Repeated or prolonged exposures may cause eye inflammation, headache, fatigue, irritability, insomnia, digestive disturbances and weight loss.
Moderate concentrations can cause more severe eye and respiratory irritation (including coughing, difficulty breathing, accumulation of fluid in the lungs), headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, staggering and excitability.
High concentrations can cause shock, convulsions, inability to breathe, extremely rapid unconsciousness, coma and death. Effects can occur within a few breaths, and possibly a single breath.
EPA air monitoring has constantly shown much higher levels of H2S since July and reached an astonishing 9 PPB on July 30th which is over 64 times the exposure level.
The cumulative average of amount of exposure since is currently at 0.8 PPB ...which means that residents have on average been subjected to almost 6 times the exposure limit over the last month.
The shrimp are dead, the fish are dead, plants are dying from the toxic rain, the oxygen levels in the ocean are depleted to a state never before recorded, and now Louisianans are subject to an average 6 times the safe level of H2S and a peak of 64 times the maximum level the EPA will allow. And these numbers are from almost a month ago.
The more interesting thing about this story is the timing, as Mike Rivero pointed out on his radio show. Because according to BP and Barry Soetorobama, no oil or methane has been released in the entire region containing their Macondo well since they allegedly capped Well A on July 15. So why did the levels of hydrogen cyanide continue to rise, peaking 15 days after that? Yes it would take a couple of days for the gas to come onto shore from the former drilling site of Deepwater Horizon, but over two weeks? I don't think that's the explanation.
The unfortunate truth is that even if BP was able to successfully cap their well(s), that no longer makes the slightest difference in the long-term outcome here. Since, as I've written many times, the well casing is compromised and because BP damaged the sea floor's integrity even more than it was damaged in the initial blowout, trying their high-pressure "top-kill" pumping, oil, methane and the other nasty things like benzene and H2S are simply leaking out of the ground instead of from the broken well. We have not even begun to see the reality of the biological devastation that BP's actions will have caused. It will end up being equivalent to that of a chemical weapons attack from a foreign enemy.
At this point, BP is a de facto foreign enemy operating inside our borders, in effect sabotaging the country. The peoples of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia and Florida know this, because our states are being directly affected. But people in all corners of America, from Alaska and Hawaii to California and Maine should share equal concern, because this Gulf oil disaster will end up affecting everyone, if not all to equal degrees. The Gulf of Mexico will not yield usable numbers of healthy fish, shrimp, oysters or shellfish this year or next for sure, and probably not for years to come. As in zero fishing industry for the near future.
Fish are dying by the tens of thousands and washing up on shore along the East Coast now, from Florida all the way up to New England. The fishing industry in the Atlantic will probably not be completely wiped out as the Gulf's has been, but it will suffer significant damage. Give the oil and methane and Corexit another couple of weeks to works their way up to Maine and maybe Red Lobster will have to rethink its corporate identity and perhaps re-open as El Taco Rojo if it wants to survive this disaster.
Farmers in the southeastern United States will be at the mercy of the weather, but certainly some crop damage will occur as toxic rain deposits on the fields the poison gases it picked up from the Gulf. This has already started. And the long term damage to the human population is still insidiously hidden because it is just that -- a threat that will become apparent only after time. The increased rate of miscarriage in coastal communities, the increase in cancers, kidney and liver diseases, blood disorders and all the rest of the horrors that Corexit 9500 cause in people and animals will take years to appear and be recorded.
I've been writing about these things since weeks after Deepwater Horizon exploded and I sounded like a nut to the average reader. Now all the dire predictions (with the exception of the mass evacuations I warned of) are being seen to have come true, nearly every day bringing a new horror story which appears in mainstream news. In my opinion the Gulf oil disaster is the crime of the century thus far. I certainly hope that at some point, after Barry Soetoro and his criminal government are swept out of power, BP will be held accountable for this attack on the United States. The oil and gas are harmful enough to the water and its plant and animal life but the Corexit they are still using (while denying it) will have caused the worst of the damage to the people of the Gulf Coast. I hope the situation isn't as dire as I paint, but I fear that is exactly the case.

A Shrimper's Dozen
Oil, Methane, Corexit Combined to Kill Shrimp Population
Just after leaving the boat launch, we pass a shrimper coming back in.
"How did you do out there?" Craig asks him. "Nothing. Nothing at all," the despondent fisherman replies. "How much do you usually catch?" Craig asks. "Hundreds of pounds, sometimes a thousand pounds," comes the reply.
Craig looks at me and says, "That’s not good."
Minutes later another shrimper passes us, returning to port. "How’d you do?" Craig asks. "We caught 12 shrimp," he replies, "That’s one-two shrimp."
A brief reminder of the toxicity of the dispersants BP is using in the Gulf: "According to the EPA’s latest analysis of dispersant toxicity released in the document Comparative Toxicity of Eight Oil Dispersant Products on Two Gulf of Mexico Aquatic Test Species, Corexit 9500, at a concentration of 42 parts per million, killed 50% of mysid shrimp tested." Most of the remaining shrimp died shortly thereafter.

Slow Violence -- BP's Killing of the Gulf
"The Gulf Crisis is Not Over: Slow Violence and the BP Coverups," by Anne McClintock
I stumbled across a link on WhatReallyHappened.com to this excellent overview of BP's deception regarding the events behind the Gulf oil disaster and their lies regarding the cleanup efforts, damage done and damage still to be done. I'll paste the first two paragraphs of Ms. McClintock's article so that you can decide whether you'd be interested in reading the whole thing. It is a long article but a masterwork as regards the fraud BP has been allowed to perpetrate on the American people by our government. Recommended to everyone:
Three vanishing acts are being played out in the Gulf: the disappearing of the oil from the ocean surface by Corexit, the disappearing of the story by the media blockade, and the disappearing from view of the shadowy private contractors who are making a mint helping BP and the Coast Guard keep a cover on the clean-up. This triple vanishing trick, collectively choreographed by BP and sundry federal agencies, culminated on August 4th in a report released by NOAA that claimed 75% of the oil spill had been captured, burned, evaporated or broken down. The White House hailed the report as something to celebrate. Energy advisor Carol Browne announced: "the vast majority of the oil is gone."
A clamor of outrage immediately rose from the Gulf, as residents refused to dance the crisis-is-over, happy-feet dance. Hundreds of locals furiously insisted that they were still seeing masses of oil on ocean, beaches and marshes, and dead fish, dolphins, sharks, birds and other marine life washing ashore. Then on August 18th scientists from the Universities of Georgia and South Florida produced an open challenge to the White House report, asserting that 70% to 79% of the oil in the Gulf still remained in the water. Charles Hopkinson, a professor of marine science at the University of Georgia declared: "The idea that 75% of the oil is gone and of no concern to the environment is just absolutely incorrect."

Passing Gas
Uh oh, it looks like BP have an embarrassing new problem on their hands. That's methane gas leaking out from the top of their cap on one of the wells. Which well we're seeing I cannot determine since the company is purposely degrading their high-definition video feeds they get via fiberoptic cable from the ROVs. But this video is yet another proof that BP lies when they say no oil or gas are leaking from the one well they admit to having built. Then there's this video I captured from their web feeds page a couple of nights ago:
That is methane hydrate leaking out of a small pipe which evidently broke loose from its fitting. And then you go to Youtube and find hundreds or thousands of videos clips of gas and oil leaking into the ocean straight up through the seabed. I am of the firm belief that eventually most if not all of the petroleum in that giant reservoir will leak into the Gulf of Mexico. Whether it continues to be small emissions from the sea floor, whether one or both wells receive another kick from down below that blows them wide open again, or if the nightmare scenario - that in which the sea floor shatters entirely and releases everything all at once - we are looking at an ongoing environmental catastrophe of a scale unknown to modern man.
Majority Report
D.C. to Employ "Pre-Crime" Prediction Systems
One more piece of George Orwell's nightmare surveillance society has been put in place:
“When a person goes on probation or parole they are supervised by an officer. The question that officer has to answer is ‘what level of supervision do you provide?’” Berk told ABC News, intimating that the program could have a bearing on the length of sentences and/or bail amounts.
The technology sifts through a database of thousands of crimes and uses algorithms and different variables, such as geographical location, criminal records and ages of previous offenders, to come up with predictions of where, when, and how a crime could possibly be committed and by who.
The program operates without any direct evidence that a crime will be committed, it simply takes datasets and computes possibilities. . .
Other forms of pre-crime technology in use or under development include surveillance cameras that can predict when a crime is about to occur and alert police, and even neurological brain scanners that can read people’s intentions before they act, thus
detecting whether or not a person has “hostile intent”.
It's disturbing that what once seemed like a far-flung conspiracy from Alex Jones is now being openly announced and even welcomed by the controlled media. A few years ago it was a fantasy in the movie Minority Report and now it's here. But these surveillance systems are not meant for a minority, in this case former prisoners on parole. The globalists introduce their tyrranical technologies, laws and policies in sneaky ways that the general public often find agreeable, then they expand the use of these to encompass that public.
The pre-crime system is not meant for criminals. It is meant to track, trace, database and, if at all possible, find you and I guilty of disagreeing with the government and the globalist elites who control it. Pre-crime will be combined soon with the concept of thought crime, and when that happens people like me will no longer be allowed to write such blasphemy against the rogue, criminal dictatorial government under which we are all suffering.

A View to a Kill
Large Fish Kill Reported at Mouth of Mississippi River
St. Bernard Parish authorities have reported a large fish kill at the mouth of the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet, but state wildlife officials say it does not appear to be directly related to oil from the BP leak.
Randy Pausina, head fisheries biologist for the state, said Department of Wildlife and Fisheries workers are investigating the fish kill and that the initial conclusion is that it was caused by low levels of oxygen in the water.
Pausina said extreme heat can cause areas of low oxygen, especially when coupled with nutrient-rich water coming from the Mississippi River.
Does Randy know what else happens to deplete oxygen levels and kill thousands of fish? Evidently not. The answer is methane gas and Corexit 9500 in combination with crude oil, and it all came from BP, not "extreme heat" nor "nutrient-rich" water. The fish kills are happening in the Gulf of Mexico and are being seen all along the Eastern seaboard up to the fishing grounds of New England. Except that no fish or other seafood remain to be harvested. Not in the water. They're all belly-up, having been washed up on the beaches. But there's no need to worry, because BP and Soetorobama say there is no problem...

Hypotenuse
This little mathematical exercise is based on a shortened version of the video which Fintan Dunne sent me, so thanks once more to him. Here is the video in question, showing the well which BP insists does not exist, Well B:
Remember that these Lamber coordinates are denominated in feet, the coordinate system which the ROVs' navigation systems use. The video shows X=1202544.78 and Y=10431529.31 at the ROV's steadiest point, and the Initial Exploration Plan calls for Well B to be drilled at the point centered at X=1202514.00 and Y=10431494.00.
This means the ROV is 30.78 feet away from Well B's center on the X-axis (east-west) and 35.31 feet away on the Y-axis (north-south). So that's 46.84 feet in a straight line between the ROV and the well it's looking at, if I calculated correctly (being the hypotenuse of a right triangle with bases 30.78 and 35.31). Honestly I didn't trust my own knowledge of geometry, so I used Wolfram Alpha to cheat. But this certainly looks to be a correct range considering how far away the equipment stack appears in the video.
Taking the same coordinates from the video, the ROV would have been 259.1 feet away from Well A on the X-axis and 87.69 feet distant on the Y, for a straight-line distance of 273.537 feet. So the Skandi Neptune ROV 2 was more than five times closer to site B than A when this video was captured. It's obvious from the coordinates themselves that it was videoing Well B. Now we can even bring the Y-coordinate in for further corroboration, as I just did calculating the distances.
Also note the operation title: Top Hat Removal. This means that I was probably right -- BP was trying to fix the stricken Well B but gave up, and this video is from just days before the alleged successful capping of Well A. With the longer form of this video showing apparent real-time tampering with the on-screen data, who knows what video feeds were showing the real locations of the ROVs and when. But it seems we caught Well B with the true coordinates being shown again before the data stream was altered. And now all we see on TV is the nice, clean Well A with its cap in place, and we are told it was the only one ever built at MC252.
The onscreen data is not superimposed by the ROVs internally before being fed up to the motherships and out to BP -- instead, the raw video feed has the characters inserted in a different video layer by computers on the ships, so it would be very easy for BP to order the composite video feeds they send out to the public altered by simply changing that data overlay and leaving the raw video untouched. That is, of course, before they resize the whole things to tiny resolutions that make it hard to see much of anything...
I think that 47 feet of distance compared to 274 feet is quite meaningful, considering that the wells are only about 300 feet apart themselves. Let me run that number here in real time, in the spirit of BP tampering with their numbers in real time. The two wells are 289.88 feet apart on X, and exactly 123 feet on Y. Keep in mind that this is using the correct figure for Well B's Y-coordinate, which was the subject of a typo in one part of the Exploration Plan. There was a simple transposition of a '41' where should have been '14' in the middle of the Y-coordinate in the section usually quoted, but the correct figure appears in the large color map of the MC252 region in the same document, and the correct location was independently confirmed to me by a surveyor who translated the latitude-longitude numbers into the Lamber figures. But getting back to the numbers, that means that the two wells are exactly 314.997 feet apart, as the shark swims.
So Wells A and B are a hair under 315 feet apart, and the video shows Skandi Neptune ROV 2 looking at a well and sitting just under 47 feet from Well B, which of course does not exist. In order to see Well A the camera would have to peer over 273 feet into the distance. The ROVs are equipped with zoom lenses. What they are not equipped with are spotlights that can penetrate nearly a football field's length of water in those black depths. Using simple math it's obvious -- Well B was caught on video before BP realized the real coordinates were going out to the public, punched a few keys to change them, then crossed their fingers and hoped no one would notice. Mr. Dunne did, then I did the math. BP are busted once again.
For those interested in the backstory of how I discovered this fraud, here are the older posts in chronological order:
RED ALERT: The Other Well
Gone in 18 Seconds: BP's Lie Dismissed
Caught on Camera Again: Non-Existent Well B
Recapping: Well B
RED-HANDED ALERT: BP Caught Doctoring Live Feed
Remember that these Lamber coordinates are denominated in feet, the coordinate system which the ROVs' navigation systems use. The video shows X=1202544.78 and Y=10431529.31 at the ROV's steadiest point, and the Initial Exploration Plan calls for Well B to be drilled at the point centered at X=1202514.00 and Y=10431494.00.
This means the ROV is 30.78 feet away from Well B's center on the X-axis (east-west) and 35.31 feet away on the Y-axis (north-south). So that's 46.84 feet in a straight line between the ROV and the well it's looking at, if I calculated correctly (being the hypotenuse of a right triangle with bases 30.78 and 35.31). Honestly I didn't trust my own knowledge of geometry, so I used Wolfram Alpha to cheat. But this certainly looks to be a correct range considering how far away the equipment stack appears in the video.
Taking the same coordinates from the video, the ROV would have been 259.1 feet away from Well A on the X-axis and 87.69 feet distant on the Y, for a straight-line distance of 273.537 feet. So the Skandi Neptune ROV 2 was more than five times closer to site B than A when this video was captured. It's obvious from the coordinates themselves that it was videoing Well B. Now we can even bring the Y-coordinate in for further corroboration, as I just did calculating the distances.
Also note the operation title: Top Hat Removal. This means that I was probably right -- BP was trying to fix the stricken Well B but gave up, and this video is from just days before the alleged successful capping of Well A. With the longer form of this video showing apparent real-time tampering with the on-screen data, who knows what video feeds were showing the real locations of the ROVs and when. But it seems we caught Well B with the true coordinates being shown again before the data stream was altered. And now all we see on TV is the nice, clean Well A with its cap in place, and we are told it was the only one ever built at MC252.
The onscreen data is not superimposed by the ROVs internally before being fed up to the motherships and out to BP -- instead, the raw video feed has the characters inserted in a different video layer by computers on the ships, so it would be very easy for BP to order the composite video feeds they send out to the public altered by simply changing that data overlay and leaving the raw video untouched. That is, of course, before they resize the whole things to tiny resolutions that make it hard to see much of anything...
I think that 47 feet of distance compared to 274 feet is quite meaningful, considering that the wells are only about 300 feet apart themselves. Let me run that number here in real time, in the spirit of BP tampering with their numbers in real time. The two wells are 289.88 feet apart on X, and exactly 123 feet on Y. Keep in mind that this is using the correct figure for Well B's Y-coordinate, which was the subject of a typo in one part of the Exploration Plan. There was a simple transposition of a '41' where should have been '14' in the middle of the Y-coordinate in the section usually quoted, but the correct figure appears in the large color map of the MC252 region in the same document, and the correct location was independently confirmed to me by a surveyor who translated the latitude-longitude numbers into the Lamber figures. But getting back to the numbers, that means that the two wells are exactly 314.997 feet apart, as the shark swims.
So Wells A and B are a hair under 315 feet apart, and the video shows Skandi Neptune ROV 2 looking at a well and sitting just under 47 feet from Well B, which of course does not exist. In order to see Well A the camera would have to peer over 273 feet into the distance. The ROVs are equipped with zoom lenses. What they are not equipped with are spotlights that can penetrate nearly a football field's length of water in those black depths.

RED-HANDED ALERT: BP Caught Doctoring Live Feed
RED-HANDED ALERT: BP Caught Doctoring Live Feed
I deserve absolutely no credit for finding this video -- Fintan Dunne updated his own excellent article, BP's Immaculate Deception with this new video. Please take the time to go and read his work, it's quite well done, better than mine since he is a professional, but confirming everything that I and Brian Rich and others have independently corroborated: BP built two wells and are and have been engaged in a massive conspiracy to cover up that fact.
Let's go to the video. If you have time to watch all seven minutes of the footage captured, it is by far the clearest view of Well B and the highest quality video I have seen of the well which, as we all know, does not exist. But the fascinating part is right at the end -- seek to the 6'40" mark and watch the last 20 seconds if you're in a hurry. Watch the coordinates change, instantaneously and spontaneously, from those indicating the ROV's presence at site B to that at site A. I believe the person that captured this video, without realizing it, accidentally may have posted on Youtube the last time that Well B's coordinates were seen on camera before BP permanently flipped a virtual switch to have the on-screen readouts display Well A coordinates, no matter which site the subs were actually surveying:
Now, let me explain a couple of things. First, the ROV is viewing the well at some distance because of the buffeting caused by the still leaking equipment. The Lamber X-Y coordinates are measured in feet. The exact center of the well pipe is the coordinate entered into BP's Initial Exploration Plan for site MC252. According to that document, to recap for newer readers, the center of Well B is located at X=1202514.00:
The ROV is moving around to view Well B at various points, so the coordinates change, but a typical screenshot in the first half of the video reveals this, that the camera is at X=1202535.19, consistent with the ROV being approximately 20 feet away fro the center of the well with its camera's zoom lens at a moderate setting. This in and of itself is incredible because once again we have caught on camera the well that does not exist:
But wait, there's more! Watch, as Fintan Dunne points out, for two points in the video where something extraordinary occurs: the coordinates change spontaneously, or rather, are altered, you decide. The first time appears at approximately 4'11" seconds into the video. The result? Staying nearly motionless, the ROV's X-coordinate now reads 1201492.72, or well over a thousand feet from where it was just seconds before. This is obviously not a natural change in reading from the ROV's onboard navigational system, which links up and cooperates with the enhanced Differential GPS system on Skandi Neptune to very accurately determine its position:
The ROVs' navigational system are indeed extremely accurate -- you can watch in this and other, less remarkable videos as the coordinates on screen (which again are denominated in feet) change as the operators move their robot subs around. The numbers match what you would expect to see changing as the cameras move a few feet up, down or sideways. And yes, there have been instances caught on video where the coordinates seem to jump around a bit, I believe caused by buffeting from the oil geyser and and the acoustic energy it gave off affecting the internal component of the ROV+mothership navigational system -- the ROV's themselves use an acoustic navigation system which talks to Neptune's DGPS. That is an aside, but written to fend off the inevitable doubters who will say that they've seen the numbers jump before.
They haven't seen anything like this and neither have I. But once again, wait -- we have more! At the very end of the video, for the last few seconds, the X-coordinate again jumps briefly to 1202622 for a few second before again switching and coming to rest at X=1202757.54, or almost 1300 feet from where the screen tells us the ROV just was, after its initial apparent teleportation. And all of this while the ROV is calmly moving up and around to view the equipment stack on top of the well which does not exist:
And do you remember what that approximate location is? The site of Well A, X=1202803.88:
Again you have the ROV sitting a moderate distance away from the well and using it's zoom function to stay out of the buffeting zone and provide a steady picture. But do you realize what this curious but seemingly harmless jumping around of the coordinates means while the ROV itself stays in the same area? I believe it is, as Mr. Dunne put it, the smoking gun, the evidence that can nail BP for good on their deception, their lies and their defrauding of the American people.
What you see here is probable evidence of real-time tampering with the ROV's on-screen displays. You can see for yourself that they had the Skandi submersible down there, monitoring Well B, which Sheila Williams of BP corporate in the U.K. told me directly they never built. Again, for any readers new to the story I will quote what she wrote me:
BP ‘s [sic] exploration plans for Mississippi Canyon, Block 252, references two possible well locations -- well location "A" and well location "B." But BP eventually sought and received approval to drill only one well -- a well at the "A" location referenced in the exploration plan. This one well is now known as the MC252 (or Macondo) exploratory well. The Transocean Marianas rig started drilling the MC252 exploratory well in October 2009. The Marianas rig was subsequently damaged by Hurricane Ida, so in February 2009 the Transocean Deepwater Horizon was brought in to finish the well.
The well clearly does exist and it is here, yet again, in BP's own video. But what makes this particular video so valuable is that it shows the company tampering with the ROV's display. The government ordered BP to make all of its ROV feeds available, live and for free. This video is de facto evidence of conspiracy to commit fraud and BP must be held liable under the RICO statutes for this and all its other crimes. What you see here, in the space of a short few minutes, is BP monitoring it's stricken Well B, which they say was never built, then tweaking the on-screen displays so that the camera appears to be watching Well A, the only one supposed to exist and only one BP have been trying to let video from out to the public.
They have failed, epicly, at their attempted deceit. First Brian Rich, then I and Fintan Dunne and probably many others of whom I do not yet know have caught Well B on camera and exposed the lie. There are two wells, they were both leaking but we now see, apparently, only the older Well A nicely capped and sitting in clean water. I use the qualifier "apparently" because, now that we have direct evidence of BP altering the on-screen data we cannot trust any of the rest of their data from any time after Deepwater Horizon exploded.
I would like to again thank Fintan Dunne for this discovery. His website is www.fintandunne.com. I would also like to thank the Youtube user who captured this crucial video, even though he was not capturing them for the purpose of "conspiracy theory" research -- he simply was monitoring BP's lame attempts to fix the well, the top hats, junk shots, top kills, junk-in-trunk, all their failures. Because I also discovered other videos he'd posted and used them in my earlier article and now with Mr. Dunne having written about this most important one, special thanks to Youtuber "X2YeZCAMCNC," whose channel can be found here. Without his videos the things which Mr. Rich, Mr. Dunne and I are trying to expose would be mere rumors, speculation, conspiracy theory. I would also like to send a special thank you to Mike Rivero who has tenaciously pursued this story, talked about it on air and linked to my materials at his own fantastic web site, WhatReallyHappened.com
This is hard evidence and the videos are factual. BP's version of the truth is not, and you can see that when they alter their video feed right before your eyes in order to make you think you're looking at Well A when they were actually monitoring the damage to Well B. The well which never existed. The one which will bankrupt the company and land its upper management and operations people in federal prison if we have anything to say about it. Please help spread this evidence to the mainstream media, to the Senators and Representatives of the five stricken Gulf states and to the FBI or other appropriate investigative agencies.

Beaten to the Punch
NOTE: The text in this video is difficult to read in the narrow column width I am restricted to on this site. The full-sized version can be seen by mousing over and clicking on the Youtube logo in the lower right corner of the video.
I was recently made aware by another Youtube user, Mr. Brian Rich, that he had a video out on the site explaining the theory of BP's twin wells a couple of days before I posted the first pictures of what I thought was Well B. In other words, I was not the first to discover the deception. Since then, others have begun to pick up the story from his video, hopefully from my blog, and from their own independent research. Mr. Rich's video is very well produced, succinct, and can explain to people who haven't been following the Gulf oil disaster and "cleanup" efforts (i.e. coverup) BP's deception in under five minutes. It's a self-contained and easy to understand way to penetrate the lies that we are being fed by BP and the Soetorobama administration. Send the link to all your friends:
A Tale of Two Wells

Withdrawal Symptom
First U.S. Soldier Killed After Iraq Withdrawal
When is a withdrawal not a withdrawal? When Barry Soetoro announces it. Soetorobama hoped to fool the dumb American liberals into thinking that he had finally kept his campaign pledge to withdraw all U.S. troops from Iraq and Afghanistan the first day after he should occupy the White House. Instead he has painted that place red and he is lying again to his subjects.
After the "withdrawal" there are still no less than 50,000 U.S. soldiers remaining in Iraq as "trainers" and "advisers." I wasn't alive during the Vietnam War era, but those terms are awfully familiar from what I've seen on the History Channel. And now one more brave, unfortunate American has lost his life in the illegal war in Iraq. The equally verminous George W. Bush got us into the mess in the Middle East, following orders from the globalists, but it is Barry Soetoro who is responsible for the death of this soldier, and every single one who has been killed or injured since he took office.
Soetorobama would not have been elected without the votes of the anti-war, anti-military left wing of the Democrat party. He lied to them to get those votes, and now they were beginning to see his betrayal. So, just in time to try to salvage the November elections, the illegal alien, puppet president pretends to fulfill his pledge and withdraw our forces from Iraq, when in fact a great many remain there, in harm's way, and the rest are simply being shunted to Afghanistan instead of being allowed to return home to their families and homes.
But the media shouldn't try to reach "Obama" for comment -- he is busy recreating on the beaches of Martha's Vineyard, taking his daughters shopping, eating ice cream, and living it up at the expense of the American taxpayer. The swine doesn't care about U.S. soldiers, he detests them. Barry would never have the balls to admit it, but he actually likes it when the casualty reports come in. It's difficult to image, but that is the mindset of the rabble-rouser-in-chief, this petty community organizer who bamboozled the American idiot public into believing that he represented "hope" and "change." I really hope the Republicans grow a pair next year and bring Soetoro up for impeachment. This country cannot withstand another two and a half years of this louse.

Barry the Liar
Here you see testimony before Congress wherein it is admitted that 75% of the oil spilled is still in the Gulf of Mexico. Barry Soetorobama says that only 24% remains. Whom do you believe? The president is a verminous usurper and a mendacious sociopath. Remember this lie when considering whether to vote for him in 2012.
Corroboration
Oil Industry Excpert: Rumors of a Second Leaking Well, BP Stonewalling
WB: Is BP sharing information with the government?
Bea: No. BP is using a "cloak of silence". BP is not voluntarily sharing information or documents with the government.
In May, for example, Senator Boxer subpoenaed information from BP regarding footage of the seafloor taken before the blowout by BP's remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). We still have not received a response 12 weeks later. . .
WB: The chief electronics technician on the Deepwater Horizon said that the Macondo well was originally drilled in another location, but that "going faster caused the bottom of the well to split open, swallowing tools", and that BP abandoned that well. You've spoken to that technician and looked into the incident, and concluded that “they damn near blew up the rig.” [See this and this].
Do you know where that abandoned well location is, and do you know if that well is still leaking?
Bea: The abandoned well is very close to the current well location. BP had to file reports showing the location of the abandoned well and the new well [with the Minerals Management Service], so the location of the abandoned well is known.
We don't know if the abandoned well is leaking.
WB: Matthew Simmons talked about a second leaking well. There are rumors on the Internet that the original well is still leaking. Do you have any information that can either disprove or confirm that allegation?
Bea: There are two uncorroborated reports. One is that there is a leak 400 feet West of the present well's surface location. There is another report that there is a leak several miles to the West.
[Bea does not know whether either report is true at this time, because BP is not sharing information with the government, let alone the public.]
There are two wells, I found video evidence of both, and you heard it here first.
