Is the BP oil well still leaking?

admin — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 15:30:54 +0000

I feel really stupid asking but, I heard somewhere that it had stopped. I liked to know if it is or not and some more information on the spill? I live in Canada so it’s not always front page news and I haven’t gotten around watching CNN.
I thought that this would be such a simple question.

Oil Spill Information?
I need some major help for my broadcast elective. I’m doing a piece on the oil spill in the gulf and need some information. Here’s a few things but whatever you know I’d LOVE to hear. Thanks
1. When did the oil rig 1st explode and how much oil leaked out initially?
2. What is the lowest and highest average of oil that has leaked from the rig?
3. What were all the possibilities that you know of that they (gov., BP, clean up recruits) thought of to fix the problem of the oil spill?
4. When was the cap put on and how much oil is leaking now?
5. Did Bonnie harm, help, or do both to our coast and if so what?
6. What places have seen tar balls in the area?
7. How long will estimated clean up be?
8. Who’s responsible for the oil spill?
Again thanks

Web bot predicts: 9/11, other events, now says they are predicting WWIII? Pseudoscience or something more?

admin — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 07:43:55 +0000

Predictions
[edit] Claimed hits
The Web Bot is claimed to have predicted several events prior to them occurring, most notably the September 11 attacks and the 2003 Northeastern United States blackout.[4] However, many believe the predictions are vague and, at best, pseudoscientific.[5]

September 11 attacks – In June 2001 Web Bot predicted that a catastrophic event would occur within the next 60–90 days.[6] However, during this same period, the 2001 Harehills riot, Tropical Storm Allison, a Vladivostokavia Tupolev Tu-154 jetliner crashed on approach to landing at Irkutsk, Russia, the 2001 Bradford race riots, the Howard Street Tunnel fire, and over 200,000 demonstrators protested at the 27th G8 summit with some property damage and injury taking place all occurred. "A catastrophic event" is such a vague statement that it could have covered any of these situations.
2001 anthrax attacks
American Airlines Flight 587[7]
Space Shuttle Columbia disaster – In January 2003 the web bots were going on and on about a "maritime disaster"[8]
Northeast Blackout of 2003[8][9]
2004 Indian Ocean earthquake[6][9]
Hurricane Katrina and its devastation[9][10]
Dick Cheney hunting incident[8]
BP Oil Spill[11]

[edit] Misses
A massive earthquake in Vancouver and the Pacific Northwest was predicted to occur on 12 December 2008.[12]
A "global coastal event" in mid-2009, which Ure and High said that they recommended people to stay away from coastal areas.[12]
A complete collapse of the US dollar beginning in 2009.[13]
The US dollar completely collapses, or Israel bombs Iran. In reaction to this crisis, administration of U.S. President Barack Obama would have been thrown into major chaos ten days later.[2][14]
A buildup of tension was to begin July 11, but nothing noticeable happened to cause such buildup.

[edit] Future predictions
November 17, 2010 – The web bot warns of a big tipping point, possibly World War III.[15]
Major catastrophe in 2012 – The Web Bot has gained most of its notoriety for contributing to the 2012 phenomenon by predicting that a cataclysm will devastate the planet in the year 2012, possibly a reversing of Earth’s magnetic poles or a small series of nuclear attacks leading up to a major attack during the year. The prediction does not necessarily call for a complete end of the world.[16][17][18][19]
The following come from the Web Bot Project Blogspot report on a radio interview with High and Ure:

No warfare between Israel and Iran, at least not until November.
Six very large earthquakes are yet to come during the rest of 2010.
A major tipping point will occur between November 8 – 11, 2010, followed by a 2-3 month release period. This tipping point appears to be US-centric, and could be a dramatic world-changing event like 9-11 that will have rippling after-effects. The collapse of the dollar might occur in November.
From July 11, 2010 onward, civil unrest will take place, possibly driven by food prices skyrocketing, and the devaluation of the dollar.[15]
No exact information on the December 14th missile launch (beginning of World War III) has been confirmed, but the predictions show it may happen.
A second depression, triggered by mass layoffs, bankruptcies, and the popping of the "derivatives bubble," will see people moving out of cities.
After March 2011, the revolution wave will settle down into a period of reformation.
A "data gap" has been found between early 2012 running through May 2013. One explanation is that "our civilization gets knocked back to a pre-electronic state," such as brought about by devastating solar activity.
A new benign form of capitalism will emerge during 2017-2020.[20]

Will a US citizen heading the BP spill issues make any difference?

admin — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 10:30:20 +0000

The guy will owe his paycheck to the same multi-national corporation.

Is he likely to be more open with information, more forthcoming with the data BP’s thus far withheld because he puts his hand over his heart when they play the Star Spangled Banner?

Or is the removal of the guy before him a way of getting key testimony out of the country before it can be required to testify under oath?

Why do Republicans keep lying about BP oil spill?

MYTH: Obama waited weeks before responding to the oil spill

REALITY: Timeline of events indicates Obama administration responded almost immediately to the spill. The Coast Guard began responding to the spill hours after the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded at 10 p.m. on April 20. Obama was briefed on the incident and dispatched officials to the region the next day.

MYTH: BP was only drilling "out there" because environmentalists and the federal government "made them" do it

FACT: MMS said "remarkable increase" in deep-water drilling due in part to "finding of reservoirs with high production wells." http://www.gomr.mms.gov/homepg/offshore/deepwtr.html

FACT: Bush MMS reported that the "best source of new domestic energy resources lies in the deep water Gulf of Mexico." http://www.mms.gov/Assets/PressConference11152004/MSGlossySingle_110404.pdf

FACT: NY Times reported BP discovery of "giant oil field" in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico indicated area was "probably the most promising area in United States-controlled territory." http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/03/business/global/03oil.html?_r=1

MYTH: Obama, unlike Bush, "was off on vacation" during crisis

REALITY: Bush vacationed during the aftermath of Katrina

In the two months after Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast on August 29, 2005, Bush reportedly made at least three separate weekend trips to the presidential retreat at Camp David. http://articles.latimes.com/2005/sep/30/nation/na-roberts30/3

MYTH: Obama is the "single largest recipient of BP cash"

FACT: Donations from BP’s PAC and its employees represent 0.01 percent of Obama’s total presidential fundraising. http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/summary.php?cycle=2008&cid=N00009638

MYTH: Obama admin turned down foreign assistance in dealing with oil cleanup

REALITY: International assistance is part of Gulf spill response. In a June 15 press release, the Deepwater Horizon Incident Joint Information Center stated, "Currently, 15 foreign-flagged vessels are involved in the largest response to an oil spill in U.S. history." http://www.deepwaterhorizonresponse.com/go/doc/2931/660195/

MYTH: Obama admin unreasonably delayed purchase of Maine company’s oil boom

REALITY: Packgen had not previously manufactured boom, reportedly failed "initial quality control test." http://www.wcsh6.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=118527&catid=2

FACT: Boom reportedly failed "an initial quality test." http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2010/06/engineering-professor-gives-maine-boom-thumbs-up.html

MYTH: Obama unnecessarily delayed berm plan

REALITY: Army Corps of Engineers studied plan as required by law and expressed concerns over proposal. http://www.sfexaminer.com/economy/la-ag-state-will-work-protect-coastal-wetlands-x2014-regardless-of-whether-the-feds-approve-94755524.html
