this debacle to continue

Gulf Oil Spill ‘Could Go Years’ If Not Dealt With
By F. William Engdahl, 10 June 2010
The Obama Administration and senior BP officials are frantically working not to
stop the world’s worst oil disaster, but to hide the true extent of the actual ecological
catastrophe. Senior researchers tell us that the BP drilling hit one of the oil
migration channels and that the leakage could continue for years unless decisive
steps are undertaken, something that seems far from the present strategy.
In a recent discussion, Vladimir Kutcherov, Professor at the Royal Institute of Technology in
Sweden and the Russian State University of Oil and Gas, predicted that the present oil spill
flooding the Gulf Coast shores of the United States “could go on for years and years … many
years.”1
According to Kutcherov, a leading specialist in the theory of abiogenic deep origin of petroleum,
“What BP drilled into was what we call a ‘migration channel,’ a deep fault on which
hydrocarbons generated in the
depth of our planet migrate to the
crust and are accumulated in rocks,
something like Ghawar in Saudi
Arabia.”2 Ghawar, the world’s most
prolific oilfield has been producing
millions of barrels daily for almost
70 years with no end in sight. According
to the abiotic science, Ghawar
like all elephant and giant oil
and gas deposits all over the world,
is located on a migration channel similar
to that in the oil-rich Gulf of
Mexico.
As I wrote at the time of the January
2010 Haiti earthquake disaster3,
Haiti had been identified as having
potentially huge hydrocarbon reserves,
as has neighboring Cuba. Kutcherov
estimates that the entire
Gulf of Mexico is one of the planet’s
most abundant accessible locations
to extract oil and gas, at least before
the Deepwater Horizon event this
April.
“In my view the heads of BP reacted with panic at the scale of the oil spewing out of the
well,” Kutcherov adds. “What is inexplicable at this point is why they are trying one thing,
failing, then trying a second, failing, then a third. Given the scale of the disaster they should
try every conceivable option, even if it is ten, all at once in hope one works. Otherwise, this
oil source could spew oil for years given the volumes coming to the surface already.”4
He stresses, “It is difficult to estimate how big this leakage is. There is no objective information
available.” But taking into consideration information about the last BP ‘giant’ discovery
in the Gulf of Mexico, the Tiber field, some six miles deep, Kutcherov agrees with Ira Leifer

a researcher in the Marine Science Institute at the University of California, Santa Barbara
who says the oil may be gushing out at a rate of more than 100,000 barrels a day.5
What the enormoity of the oil spill does is to also further discredit clearly the oil companies’
myth of “peak oil” which claims that the world is at or near the “peak” of economical oil extraction.
That myth, which has been propagated in recent years by circles close to former
oilman and Bush Vice President, Dick Cheney, has been effectively used by the giant oil majors
to justify far higher oil prices than would be politically possible otherwise, by claiming a
non-existent petroleum scarcity crisis.
Obama & BP Try to Hide
According to a report from Washington investigative journalist Wayne Madsen, “the Obama
White House and British Petroleum are covering up the magnitude of the volcanic-level oil
disaster in the Gulf of Mexico and working together to limit BP’s liability for damage caused
by what can be called a ‘mega-disaster.’”6 Madsen cites sources within the US Army Corps
of Engineers, FEMA, and Florida Department of Environmental Protection for his assertion.
Obama and his senior White House staff, as well as Interior Secretary Salazar, are working
with BP’s chief executive officer Tony Hayward on legislation that would raise the cap on liability
for damage claims from those affected by the oil disaster from $75 million to $10 billion.
According to informed estimates cited by Madsen, however, the disaster has a real
potential cost of at least $1,000 billion ($1 trillion). That estimate would support the pessimistic
assessment of Kutcherov that the spill, if not rapidly controlled, “will destroy the entire
coastline of the United States.”
According to the Washington report of Madsen, BP statements that one of the leaks has
been contained, are “pure public relations disinformation designed to avoid panic and demands
for greater action by the Obama administration, according to FEMA and Corps of Engineers
sources.” 7
The White House has been resisting releasing any “damaging information” about the oil disaster.
Coast Guard and Corps of Engineers experts estimate that if the ocean oil geyser is
not stopped within 90 days, there will be irreversible damage to the marine eco-systems of
the Gulf of Mexico, north Atlantic Ocean, and beyond. At best, some Corps of Engineers experts
say it could take two years to cement the chasm on the floor of the Gulf of Mexico.8
Only after the magnitude of the disaster became evident did Obama order Homeland Security
Secretary Napolitano to declare the oil disaster a “national security issue.” Although the
Coast Guard and FEMA are part of her department, Napolitano’s actual reasoning for invoking
national security, according to Madsen, was merely to block media coverage of the immensity
of the disaster that is unfolding for the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean and their
coastlines.
The Obama administration also conspired with BP to hide the extent of the oil leak, according
to the cited federal and state sources. After the oil rig exploded and sank, the government
stated that 42,000 gallons per day were gushing from the seabed chasm. Five days later,
the federal government upped the leakage to 210,000 gallons a day. However, submersibles
monitoring the escaping oil from the Gulf seabed are viewing television pictures of
what they describe as a “volcanic-like” eruption of oil.
When the Army Corps of Engineers first attempted to obtain NASA imagery of the Gulf oil
slick, which is larger than is being reported by the media, it was reportedly denied the access.
By chance, National Geographic managed to obtain satellite imagery shots of the extent
of the disaster and posted them on their web site. Other satellite imagery reportedly

being withheld by the Obama administration, shows that what lies under the gaping chasm
spewing oil at an ever-alarming rate is a cavern estimated to be the size of Mount Everest.
This information has been given an almost national security-level classification to keep it
from the public, according to Madsen’s sources.
The Corps of Engineers and FEMA are reported to be highly critical of the lack of support for
quick action after the oil disaster by the Obama White House and the US Coast Guard. Only
now has the Coast Guard understood the magnitude of the disaster, dispatching nearly 70
vessels to the affected area. Under the loose regulatory measures implemented by the
Bush-Cheney Administration, the US Interior Department’s Minerals Management Service
became a simple “rubber stamp,” approving whatever the oil companies wanted in terms of
safety precautions that could have averted such a disaster. Madsen describes a state of “criminal
collusion” between Cheney’s former firm, Halliburton, and the Interior Department’s
MMS, and that the potential for similar disasters exists with the other 30,000 off-shore rigs
that use the same shut-off valves. 9
Silence from Eco groups?... Follow the money
Without doubt at this point we are in the midst of what could be the greatest ecological catastrophe
in history. The oil platform explosion took place almost within the current loop
where the Gulf Stream originates. This has huge ecological and climatological consequences.
A cursory look at a map of the Gulf Stream shows that the oil is not just going to cover the
beaches in the Gulf, it will spread to the Atlantic coasts up through North Carolina then on
to the North Sea and Iceland. And beyond the damage to the beaches, sea life and water
supplies, the Gulf stream has a very distinct chemistry, composition (marine organisms),
density, temperature. What happens if the oil and the dispersants and all the toxic compounds
they create actually change the nature of the Gulf Stream? No one can rule out
potential changes including changes in the path of the Gulf Stream, and even small changes
could have huge impacts. Europe, including England, is not an icy wasteland due to the warming
from the Gulf Stream.
Yet there is a deafening silence from the very environmental organizations which ought to
be at the barricades demanding that BP, the US Government and others act decisively.
That deafening silence of leading green or ecology organizations such as Greenpeace, Nature
Conservancy, Sierra Club and others may well be tied to a money trail that leads right
back to the oil industry, notably to BP. Leading environmental organizations have gotten significant
financial payoffs in recent years from BP in order that the oil company could remake
itself with an “environment-friendly face,” as in “beyond petroleum” the company’s new
branding.
The Nature Conservancy, described as “the world’s most powerful environmental group,”10
has awarded BP a seat on its International Leadership Council after the oil company gave
the organization more than $10 million in recent years.11
Until recently, the Conservancy and other environmental groups worked with BP in a coalition
that lobbied Congress on climate-change issues. An employee of BP Exploration serves
as an unpaid Conservancy trustee in Alaska. In addition, according to a recent report published
by the Washington Post, Conservation International, another environmental group, has
accepted $2 million in donations from BP and worked with the company on a number of projects,
including one examining oil-extraction methods. From 2000 to 2006, John Browne,
then BP's chief executive, sat on the CI board.
12 Ibid.
Further, The Environmental Defense Fund, another influential ecologist organization, joined
with BP, Shell and other major corporations to form a Partnership for Climate Action, to promote
‘market-based mechanisms’ (sic) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Environmental non-profit groups that have accepted donations from or joined in projects
with BP include Nature Conservancy, Conservation International, Environmental Defense
Fund, Sierra Club and Audubon. That could explain why the political outcry to date for decisive
action in the Gulf has been so muted.12
Of course those organizations are not going to be the ones to solve this catastrophe. The
central point at this point is who is prepared to put the urgently demanded federal and
international scientific resources into solving this crisis. Further actions of the likes of that
from the Obama White House to date or from BP can only lead to the conclusion that some
very powerful people want this debacle to continue. The next weeks will be critical to that
assessment.

me thinks thou protests too much!

Conspiracy theories exist in the realm of myth, where imaginations run wild, fears trump facts, and evidence is ignored. As a superpower, the United States is often cast as a villain in these dramas.

why bother? you got sumpin to hide and now you try stearing ppl away with this drivel?

The world is slowing arousing. ??

Always remember that if everyone like you were economically secure and socially privileged like us, there would be no one left to fill all those boring, dangerous, low-paid jobs in our economy. And no one to fight our wars for us, or blindly follow orders in our totalitarian corporate institutions. And certainly no one to meekly go to their grave without having lived a full and creative life. So please, keep up the good work!

in America, candor -- when it touches on myths sacred to the ruling class -- is simply not permitted to the working guy or gal.

Helen Thomas and a Truth too hot to handle

by Michael Hoffman

Copyright © 2010 by RevisionistHistory.org

On May 27, 2010, during the "American Jewish Heritage Month" celebration at the White House, Orthodox Rabbi David Nesenoff (rabbi@rabbilive.com) asked Helen Thomas, dean of the Washington Press corps, if she had any comments on the Israeli state. Thomas replied, "Tell them to get the hell out of Palestine...Remember, these people are occupied, and it's their land; its not German, its not Poland's." She was then asked where the Judaics should go, to which she replied: "they should go home" to "Poland, Germany." Then, after another question she added, "America and everywhere else." The rabbi videotaped her remarks, and his video quickly achieved Internet notoriety with "viral" status.

Time magazine scribe Joe Klein termed her views "odious" and said she should no longer have the privilege, accorded by the White House Correspondents Association, of a front row center seat. Former George W. Bush Press Secretary Ari Fleischer, a neocon architect of the invasion of Iraq, said,"She should lose her job over this. As someone who is Jewish, and as someone who worked with her and used to like her, I find this appalling." On May 30, Thomas was dropped by her speaker's bureau, Nine Speakers. Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda, Maryland canceled Thomas's commencement address.

Thomas apologized for her remarks on June 4. The Anti-Defamation League said the apology did not go far enough. Hearst News corporation, which has employed Thomas as a columnist for the past 10 years, issued a statement announcing her "retirement," which Hearst said, was "effective immediately."

Thomas has been covering the White House for fifty years, since 1960. She will mark her 90th birthday on Aug. 4. She was often the only White House reporter asking presidents probing questions about American and Israeli wars.

This writer is not aware of whether Helen Thomas has read Shlomo Sand's The Invention of the Jewish People or Paul Wexler's The Ashkenazic Jews: A Slavo-Turkic People in Search of a Jewish Identity. These books deliver a long overdue knockout punch to the laughable hoax that asserts that today's descendants of the Khazars are the direct "Jewish" descendants of the ancient patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Sand and Wexler document that the home of the Khazar impostor "Jews" is indeed, as Thomas implied, in eastern Europe, not Palestine.

Perhaps Miss Thomas was offering only a woman's intuition, that the "Jews" of "Israel" are neither; that they have more in common with the Yiddish shetls of eastern Europe than the Biblical land of the Middle East. In either case, in America, candor -- when it touches on myths sacred to the ruling class -- is simply not permitted to the working guy or gal. The latter-days Diogenes will quickly be out of a job. Under American capitalism you have freedom of speech as long as you don't care about eating.

A crusader for peace and an investigative journalist who refused to rubberstamp Bush's ghastly war in Iraq, as did the entire White House Press corps on March 6, 2003, as documented by Bill Moyers, Thomas is now fodder for pompous discursive lectures on the venality of the goyim, camouflaged as human rights lessons, by the likes of columnist Richard Cohen (cohenr@washpost.com).

In "What Helen Thomas missed," (Washington Post, June 8, 2010, p. A17), Mr. Cohen views the controversy as an opportunity to libel, from his lofty moral perch, Polish gentiles as thieves, murderers and haters, and General George Patton as an evil "bigot":

"Ah, another teachable moment! This one comes to us from Helen Thomas, the longtime White House reporter and columnist who announced her retirement on Monday. Thomas, of Lebanese ancestry and almost 90, has never been shy about her anti-Israel views, for which, as far as I'm concerned, she is wrong and to which she is entitled. Then the other day, she performed a notable public service by revealing how very little she knew. Asked at a White House event if she had any comments about Israel, Thomas said, 'Tell them to get the hell out of Palestine. . . . Go home. Poland. Germany. And America and everywhere else.'

"Well, I don't know about 'everywhere else,' but after World War II, many Jews did attempt to 'go home' to Poland. This resulted in the murder of about 1,500 of them -- killed not by Nazis but by Poles, either out of sheer ethnic hatred or fear they would lose their (stolen) homes.

"The mini-Holocaust that followed the Holocaust itself is not well-known anymore, but it played an outsize role in the establishment of the state of Israel. It was the plight of Jews consigned to Displaced Persons camps in Europe that both moved and outraged President Harry Truman, who supported Jewish immigration to Palestine and, when the time came, the new state itself.

"Something had to be done for the Jews of Europe. They were still being murdered. In the Polish city of Kielce, on July 4, 1946 -- more than a year after the end of the war -- rumors of a Jewish ritual murder triggered a pogrom in which 42 Jewish Holocaust survivors were killed. The Kielce murders were not, by any means, the sole example of why Jews could not 'go home.' When I visited the Polish city where my mother had been born, Ostroleka, I was told of a Jew who survived Auschwitz only to be murdered when he tried to reclaim his business. In much of Eastern Europe, Jews feared for their lives...

"For that reason, those who had struck out for home soon returned to DP camps and the safety of -- irony of ironies -- Germany. Some of the camps were under the command of Gen. George S. Patton, a great man on the screen, a contemptible bigot in real life....For the surviving Jews of Eastern Europe, there was no going home -- and no staying, either. Europe was hostile to them, not in the least appalled or sorry about what had just happened. Even the American military, in the person of the hideous Patton, seemed hostile... For most of the DPs, America was also out of the question. The United States, in the grip of feverish anti-communism and already unreceptive to immigrants, maintained a tight quota. When the Jewish DPs were polled, an overwhelming majority said they wanted to go to Palestine. They knew life would be tough there, but they would be among their own people -- and relatively safe" (end quote).

Richard Cohen, the mainstream media's fount of moral history, has penned hate speech/group libel disguised as "a teachable moment." Hundreds of other Talmudic supremacists in the media and academia are engaged in the same relentless offensive -- spreading contempt and instilling guilt in the goyim -- entire nations such as "feverish anti-communist" America, or "thieving" Poland where Poles irrationally attack Judaics because of:"sheer ethnic hatred," "fear they would lose their (stolen) homes" (most of Poland must have been once owned by Judaics) or, that old reliable standby, "rumors of a Jewish ritual murder."

The reader is supposed to sit at the feet of Cohen in wide-eyed awe as this righteous Zionist savant spews his hatred for east European gentiles and heroes like George Patton. The only good goy in Cohen's column is 33rd degree Freemason Harry Truman, the president who heated Hiroshima and Nagasaki to several thousand degrees of hell.

Does Mr. Cohen himself exhibit any "sheer ethnic hatred" for Polish Catholics? Was it really a case of Poles rising against Judaic people only due to "rumors" and "hatred," or has Mr. Cohen suppressed the other half of the story? What is the real history behind the alleged "mini-holocaust" in Kielce in 1946?

According to Judaic author John Sack, "In 1945 many Poles felt (and not without reason) that Jews ran the Office of State Security...the chief of the Office was Jacob Berman, a Jew, and all or almost all the department heads were Jews."

Sack reported that 75% of the officers of the Communist Secret Police in Silesia were Judiacs ("Jews"). He noted that many Judaics in the Communist terror apparatus in Poland changed their names to Polish ones, such as General Romkowski, Colonel Rozanski, Capt. Studencki and Lt. Jurkowski. (cf. Sack, The New Republic, Feb. 14, 1994, p. 6).

According to Sheldon Kirshner, writing in the Canadian Jewish News, Nov. 5, 1992, p. 16: In Poland, "...a disproportionate number of Communists were Jews. In 1930, at its peak, 35% of the members of the party were Jewish. In Communist youth organizations, Jewish membership was even higher, while Communists of Jewish origin occupied most of the seats on the central committee. Communism appealed to some Jews because it opposed anti-Semitism more vigorously than any other Polish party...Jewish Communists reached their apogee in the years immediately after World War Two, when the party leadership was totally in the hands of the prewar Communist leadership that abhorred anti-Semitism" (end quote).

The mass murder of Polish Catholics at the hands of Judaic Communists is almost never raised. Instead, the attack on Judaics by Polish peasants enraged at the role of Judaics in Communist terror, which occurred at Kielce, will be the focus. The Catholic Primate of Poland at the time, Cardinal August Hlond (1881-1948), declared that the attack in Kielce occurred because of resentment "due to the Jews who today occupy leading positions in Poland's (Communist) government and endeavor to introduce a governmental structure that the majority of Poles do not wish to have."

As Piotr S. Wandycz of Yale University observed, "The average Pole could not but notice in the Stalinist era that the two most powerful men in the country--Berman and Minc--were both Jewish as was the dreaded security official Rozanski." (New York Review of Books, Aug. 18, 1983, p. 51).

Solomon Morel was commandant of a post-war Communist concentration camp for Germans in Poland. Stalin deliberately put Judaics in charge of such camps. In Poland Morel tortured and murdered thousands of Germans, sometimes with his bare hands (cf. "The Wrath of Solomon," The Village Voice, March 30, 1993). Morel found safe haven in the Israeli state, which refused requests to extradite him to stand trial for war crimes in Poland. Sack recounts the facts in his important book, An Eye for an Eye.

You left out the rest of the story, Mr. Cohen. It's called context.

Helen Thomas uttered truths too hot to handle for our supposed "anything goes" culture. Her fate will be familiar to all Americans who have dared to contradict sanctified Zionist mythology.

We already knew that BP and its folks were significant contributors to the record $750-million war chest of Barack Obama's 2007-08 campaign.

The ties that bind. Remember Rahm Emanuel's rent-free D.C. apartment? The owner: A BP adviser

June 7, 2010 | 3:34 pm

In case you were tempted to buy the faux Washington outrage at BP and its gulf oil spill in recent days, here's a story that reveals a little-known corporate political connection and the quiet way the inner political circles intersect, protect and care for one another in the nation's capital. And Chicago.

We already knew that BP and its folks were significant contributors to the record $750-million war chest of Barack Obama's 2007-08 campaign.

Now, we learn the details of a connection of Rahm Emanuel, the Chicago mayoral wannabe, current Obama chief of staff, ex-representative, ex-Clinton money man and ex-Windy City political machine go-fer.

Shortly after Obama's happy inaugural, eyebrows rose slightly upon word that, as a House member, Emanuel had lived the last five years rent-free in a D.C. apartment of Democratic colleague Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut and her husband, Stanley Greenberg.

For an ordinary American, that would likely raise some obvious tax liability questions. But like Emanuel, the guy overseeing the Internal Revenue Service now is another Obama insider, Tim Geithner, who had his own outstanding tax problems but skated through confirmation anyway by the Democratic-controlled Congress.

Remember this was all before the letters BP stood for Huge Mess. Even before the Obama administration gave BP a safety award.

Now follow these standard Washington links if you can:

Greenberg's consulting firm was a prime architect of BP's recent rebranding drive as a green petroleum company, down to green signs and the slogan "Beyond Petroleum."

Greenberg's company is also closely tied to a sister Democratic outfit -- GCS, named for the last initials of Greenberg, James Carville, another Clinton advisor, and Bob Shrum, John Kerry's 2004 campaign manager.

According to published reports, GCS received hundreds of thousands of dollars in political polling contracts in recent years from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Probably just a crazy coincidence. But you'll never guess who was the chairman of that Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee dispensing those huge polling contracts to his kindly rent-free landlord.
