31 May, 2010 — Gulf Tribunal
“Larry Crowder, a professor of marine biology at Duke University, said if the spill continues for a couple more months, then oil almost certainly would get into the Loop Current that flows clockwise around the Gulf. It then would be a week to 10 days before it got to the Florida Keys, and a couple of weeks more before the Gulf Stream carried it to North Carolina.”
“Any hurricane and its accompanying storm surge also could drive oil onto land, even into the rice and sugarcane fields that aren’t far from the coast in Louisiana, said James H. Cowan Jr., a biological oceanographer at Louisiana State University.”
FYI: This article underestimates the amount of oil. Their guesstimate is way below that of other scientists. – Read it all here

“OBAMA SHOULD PUT BP IN RECEIVERSHIP”
Some are saying the government should take over the entire BP Corporation. We AGREE! It should be liquidated!
Former General Colin Powell seems to agree…
– “This is far beyond the capacity of BP to solve.”

MORE IMMENSE SUBSEA PLUMES DISCOVERED
As you may already know, there are immense lakes of previously undetected crude being discovered across the Gulf. These are most likely from another bigger gusher several miles from the DeepWater Horizon leak which is being televised via “SpillCam.” The details of these plumes and their origin remain largely unknown…
So, it probably doesn’t even matter that the televised riser is breaking apart, as seen below. It will be cut loose in the coming days in another sorry-ass attempt by BP to contain the leak. The output will apparently increase even MORE.

WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON?
Okay, we at Gulf Tribunal are well aware of how much bad news there is right now. Even some of the people working on this website and on cleanup are completely giving up hope. I would just like to write that no matter how bad this gets, the TRUTH matters and JUSTICE matters.
That said, I would like to bring some of the new information to light and provide an analysis that goes beyond the BP/government disinformation. There is a lot of info out there that is pointing to some very diabolical activity in the lead-up too, and aftermath of the Deep Horizon cataclysm.
People who are comparing this to Katrina or even Chernobyl don’t know what they’re talking about, Deep Horizon is perhaps the worst ecological catastrophe in the history of the planet,- it will change life as we know it.
I’ll begin with the days and weeks leading up to explosion.
Extreme Crusextraction
The Macondo oil prospect is an immense deep-Earth oil and gas reserve located below the northern Gulf of Mexico. It is named after the cursed town in Gabriel Marquez’s book “One Hundred Years of Solitude.” Since it’s discovery, geologists knew it would take advanced drilling techniques to successfully access the reserve, – it would not be a conventional offshore effort. The contents of Macondo are also not particularly high quality, it is full of methane, natural gases, sulfur, and tarry oil. The current gushing wellhead is essentially an asphalt volcano. As you can see on the beach, or through what images are in the news, it is a rusty, reddish crude which gives off the stink of sulphur.
Due to the composition of the mass, and the difficult geology surrounding it in the undersea Mississippi Canyon, the method chosen to access the slurry of crude was (and is) highly controversial, and illegal. What they did was drill below 35,000 feet at a slight angle, and then pump-in hyper-pressurized chemicals in order to fracture open the Earth. Their method, “deep angular frac drilling,” was one cause of the first Gulf War, as Kuwaiti and western oil corporations (like BP) attempted to drill underneath Iraq’s borders in order to rob their oil.
BP and their contractors were operating in secret when they pushed into the dangerous pressurized mass. Even in our lax regulatory culture, their plan would not have been allowed.
Oil trade journals, and whistleblowers with the Army Corps of Engineers, have suggested that BP caused a much larger disaster in the months before Deep Horizon entered the news.
Submarines with the National Undersea Laboratory and the US Navy have apparently been tracking an immense lake of oil (the size of Louisiana) that is expanding at 3,500 feet below the surface. This may have been caused by the initial “frac” drilling effort.
First Signs of a Coverup
Halliburton was the cement and well-head contractor at the Horizon site.
A few days before DeepWater Horizon blew, Halliburton acquired Boots and Coots, an enormous oil spill cleanup and safety company. This all-too-convenient acquisition was apparently performed AT A LOSS for Halliburton. In the event of an already unfolding disaster, this would be a wise purchase for Halliburton not merely on account of the contracts Boots and Coots would receive, but it would also aid them in a future coverup, as they would be in control of all disclosure within one of the world’s premier oil logistics and safety companies.
Some BP officers and an untold amount of other personnel were apparently on DeepWater Horizon when the disaster occurred. This is highly unusual. BP’s back-story behind this coincidence was that a celebration was underway for Deep Horizon’s safety record. Yet, officials from TransOcean (the company that was leasing the rig) claim there was a major fight on board between BP and TransOcean managers regarding their drill plan on the same day.
We can only speculate right now as to what was really going on, but it’s possible that DeepWater Horizon was digging a relief well for a gushing chasm they had previously opened in the Macondo. Another possibility is that Deep Horizon was intentionally destroyed as a distraction, – a ludicrous attempt to disguise the incident that had already occurred. The employees on board may have been allowed to die in the fire leaving no witnesses to BP’s crime.
TransOcean knew that Deep Horizon would be engaged in some very dangerous shit. They placed an enormous insurance policy on the rig, much larger than usual.
Many of BP’s attempts to cap the well have been mocked as ridiculous, including “Top-Hat,” or a containment box, “Junk-shot” – shooting trash in it, and “Top-Kill” which is pouring clay on it. These efforts are most likely a charade to keep the public occupied and focused on the televised broken riser.
Further Disclosure
Mabus, the Secretary of the Navy, has suggested sinking a battleship on top of the leak. But it has now become obvious that short of a subterranean tactical nuclear blast, there is no known way to stem the volcano. Also, a weapons system may merely gash open the crust unleashing all the oil at once, as opposed to letting it pour out for months.
There is plenty of additional information we are investigating pending verification. We urge all readers to research the activities of Halliburton and BP in the months leading up to DeepWater Horizon’s explosion on April 20, and then sinking on April 22, which happens to be Earth Day.
