Vatic: They are Killing the Gulf (VN: with Corexit)
2010-06-27
They are Killing the Gulf (VN: with Corexit)
Labels: Depopulation, Eugenics, False Flag, Mass Murder
Vatic Note: As soon as we were told Corexit, the toxic disbursant was being dumped we began to suspect something nefarious. When we were told they had dumped over 1 million gallons, we said "Really, can you picture one million gallons of corexit???" I can't, that is huge. We have been saying all along its the Corexit that is the BP weapon of Mass Destruction. This article and these videos knocks this down to the bare bones of the reality we face. Its worth it to watch this, in fact, if you want to know what is our real situation AND you want to know who did it and if it was intentional, then watch these two videos. At the very least save this article for when we are able to obtain justice one way or the other.
Remember, Britian is heavily tied into both companies especially BP but to a lesser degree to Goldman Sachs international, and they are tied into the Rothschild family (a British/Israeli combination is damn deadly). While you are thinking about that, REMEMBER ALSO, THAT COREXIT IS BANNED IN BRITIAN, and BP just put a million gallons of that garbage into our gulf? HUH??? That alone should tell you that the british leadership is not only an enemy to their own people but to the USA as well as the rest of the world. This is the biggest false flag in history. I say, arrest them and if you want real justice meted out, TURN THEM OVER TO THE FRENCH. They know how to take care of the elite criminal elements of our globe. A worthy price to pay for globalizing. We will globalize only if we can arrest all the elite, every stinking lousy one of them, prosecute them, and then execute the sentences. Hows that for a deal?

Gulf Coast Toxicity Syndrome

Vicki B. Escarra, President and CEO of Feeding America, wrote, “Alongside natural disaster, a very real human disaster looms. The recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has wrought havoc on sea and on land. But attention is now turning to the long-term effects the disaster will have on the coastlines, on businesses, and on American men, women and children. The immediate effects of the oil spill are obvious. Others, such as its effects on American families, will be hard to measure and will take years to document.”

Operation “Swift Fox” – Gulf Coast Evacuation to go live soon
With discernment:
http://stevequayle.com/index1.html
EXTREME ALERT — Gulf Coast Evacuation Contingency Plans Soon to Go Operational: The operational name for the Gulf Coast Evacuation is “Swift Fox”. Yesterday morning at around 8:30 Mountain time, I received information that specific towns, in Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas and Georgia were having hotel rooms rented in mass by different named “Societies” using Federal government credit cards. The block hotel room rentals are for half the available rooms in hotels with a minimum of 120 rooms. Specific conversations were “overheard” that would indicate that the planned Gulf Coast evacuation is soon to be implemented. The only scenario I hear that may force the government to evacuate the coast is a multiple plume situation. Apparently, the unmitigated oil spilling has caused a pressure flux which, ironically, has caused a spider web network of Gulf seabed fissures, which has caused at least one other confirmed oil plume. NOAA is searching for two more suspected ones”. This quote is from an insider who is really concerned as he should be. Here’s additional info he provided. His comments in the following quote: “I know FEMA has already scoped out FEMA camp locations, i.e. vacant lots and swaths of land that can be leased temporarily in Texas and Georgia”.
The inside guy said it is up to the President to give the go-signal. There is an evacuation plan drafted and in place, ready for execution only *if* the administration deems it necessary. That can happen two ways. FEMA makes an emergency declaration with recommendation to POTUS (President of the US) for an evacuation or 2/3 of the Gulf States request federal help for an evac. States can individually declare an evacuation of their Gulf residents, but that would be a state action only, not FEMA/Federal”.
One week ago I was given a “vision of bread” while praying for wisdom. I saw a piece of bread being ripped apart as you would tear apart a sandwich from the bottom up. Imagine holding a sandwich in both hands and pressing your thumbs through the center of the bread and then tearing the bread, ripping it apart into two sections!
I wondered why the Lord would give me the Bread Vision, and then it became apparent. FAMINE is going to explode through the land as a result of the Gulf of Mexico’s sea floor rupturing! Yesterday, as I pondered all that’s going on, I received an image of a jig saw puzzle with all the interrelated pieces being broken apart, and being tied to this event taking place in the Gulf. The famine that is coming to the US is heartbreaking in it’s ramifications. The slaughter and devastation is unimaginable. As the Great Quake literally tears apart the US mainland, all America’s external enemies including those “enemies within” will seek to destroy and devour that which is left and flee, but they will not succeed. THEY WILL BE STOPPED BY ALMIGHTY GOD HIMSELF. THE DESTRUCTION THEY HAVE PLANNED FOR THE INNOCENT WILL BE SUPERNATURALLY TURNED AGAINST THEM!
I will be publishing the prophecy that the Lord has given me at His appointed time. I want to personally thank all of the Lord’s intercessors who pray for me daily that I might warn and help prepare those who have eyes to see and ears to hear. I urge every one who understands the lateness of the hour to get their hearts right before the Living God, as the time comes when only the power of an individual’s relationship with God and the power of prayer will get us through the most perilous time period in ALL HISTORY! —Stephen Quayle

The Oil Spill Is An Illusion....It's All a Setup?
What's the benefit of this scam? MONEY, and population control. Read the intelhub article linked below. If you're still listening, and even beginning to grasp the sinister nature of the fraud being perpetrated, then you'll realize that the corexit9500, and other dispersant's are not needed. They are purposely being sprayed by Evergreen Air/CIA to cull the population along the Gulf Coast.

Letter from Natural Resource Systems Offering Perfect Science Technology
Now that TVI executives have had the experience of witnessing first hand the present pathetic situation in New Orleans, Gulfport, Biloxi, and the 90,000 square miles of surrounding area affected by Hurricane Katrina and, in the aftermath of this national disaster, I thought perhaps you might want to reconsider my proposal of supplying a product that offers a remedy for cleaning up such pollution as is now affecting this entire area, in addition to the other compatible uses of this product with your decontamination shelters.
As I stated, no company in your field presently has this capability that I am offering you. The product can also be used in your decontamination shelters with far superior advantages to any other decontamination solution with an absolute degree of safety in contrast to those who might be otherwise decontaminated with your present solution, or in comparison to other companies offering decontamination equipment and solutions. This product would not require any additional investment in plant and equipment for TVI. It would, of course, require some additional administrative and office support for logistical disbursement of the product in times such as now exist in the affected area. TVI would not even be required to inventory product. The potential end users such as local, state and federal government agencies that anticipate immediate need may want to inventory the product. It would be a safe bet that FEMA would be one of those agencies in the aftermath of this present experience. Otherwise, the product can be hastily supplied in large quantities from us as needed for direct shipment to end users with TVI as broker.
You will also recall that I mentioned a very conservative figure of less than $200 to clean up a surface acre of pollution, a figure which is extremely cost efficient considering any other presently known means of clean-up. Not only do I not need to do the math to convince you of how many surface acres there are in 90,000 square miles, I do not need to convince you of the fact that there is no other such known cost effective means to clean up biological and chemical pollutants in such a large area as I will demonstrate below. The potential bottom line numbers to both of us are staggering to say the least.
As one of the founders of the company, I have witnessed laboratory tests of worse pollution than is now present in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina being completely restored to the three (3) basic building blocks of life with the product I intended to introduce to you when I visited with you on August 15th last. Water taken from chemically polluted streams, water from cesspools, runoff water from open garbage dumps as found in Turkey, and water from any type of the most vile pollution imaginable, we can successfully treat returning it to its pristine condition. I have participated in both public and private demonstrations where we have accomplished this very result, where so-called experts have been present and cannot believe nor can they explain the results. But results they are, proven by what they see in minutes after the decontamination solution is introduced to the polluted medium%u2026.rendered so clean that a goldfish will survive in the solution minutes after the purification process is initiated.
The product that I hoped to offer TVIN is a water-purification agent that ingeniously uses water as the medium to multiply and intensify the purification process. It will neutralize all biological and virulent causing diseases, and all chemical agents of whatever kind, by turning polluted water containing any of the most vile forms of pollution into the following three basic life essentials:
1. Pure water with restored oxygen content and a pH of 7;
2. Amino acids; and,
3. Fatty acids%u2026
The latter two being the basic building blocks of life as we know it, and which can be processed to be used as fertilizer. In our past demonstrations in which I have personally participated, in a matter of minutes after introducing the purifying agent into a highly polluted solution of whatever kind, and to demonstrate the end result, we place a goldfish into the purified solution. Not only does the goldfish survive as it would in any adequately oxygenated and clean water, it goes to the bottom and begins feeding on the pollution residue which has been returned to a safe state and is edible as fish food. The suspended pollutants gradually descend to the bottom of the tank and the result is absolutely clear water. Proof of the results resides in the living goldfish.
Therefore, I ask that you reconsider my offer by your acceptance of my Non-Disclosure and Non-Circumventure Agreement so that we may proceed to the next level.
Sincerely,

List of oil spills
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wikinews
This is a reverse-chronological list of oil spills that have occurred throughout the world and spill(s) that are currently ongoing. Quantities are measured in tonnes of crude oil with one tonne roughly equal to 308 US gallons, or 7.33 barrels, or 1165 liters. This calculation uses a median value of 0.858 for the specific gravity of light crude oil; actual values can range from 0.816 to 0.893, so the amounts shown below are inexact. They are also estimates, because the actual volume of an oil spill is difficult to measure exactly.

CNN: Almost All 1989 Exxon Valdez Cleanup Crew Dead!
But there are even more downright criminal activities taking place right now. According to a government panel, new calculations suggest that "an amount equivalent to the Exxon Valdez disaster could be flowing into the Gulf of Mexico every 8 to 10 days," the New York Times reported on June 10.
In addition, the CNN video in the below article discusses the health problems suffered by the clean-up workers, and the fact that BP is strongly discouraging any type of protective gear, such as respirators and even rubber gloves! In the video, Kerry Kennedy mentions that the average age at the time of death of workers who cleaned up after the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill was 51!
Today, all those clean-up workers are DEAD!

TILT: The illness afflicting workers exposed to BP's oil disaster?
Workers cleaning up the BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico have reported suffering from flu-like symptoms that may be the consequence of exposure to chemicals in the oil as well as the petroleum-derived solvent being used to disperse the spill.
The illness -- marked by headaches, fatigue, upset stomach, and problems with memory and concentration -- has been dubbed toxicant-induced loss of tolerance, or TILT. People suffering from TILT lose the ability to tolerate exposures to household chemical products, medication or even food, Dr. Claudia Miller of the University of Texas Health Science Center told WOAI TV:
"Things like diesel fuel, exposure to fragrances, cleaning agents that never bothered them before suddenly bother them," adds Dr. Miller.
Miller first described TILT in 1996, but it remains a controversial diagnosis among the medical community. The syndrome is also known as multiple chemical sensitivity and idiopathic environmental intolerance. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, a division of the National Institutes of Health, has defined the illness as a "chronic, recurring disease caused by a person's inability to tolerate an environmental chemical or class of foreign chemicals."
Regardless of whether the illness being reported in Gulf cleanup workers and residents ends up being confirmed as TILT, the fact remains that the chemicals people are being exposed to in the oil and dispersants are known to have health impacts including eye, skin and respiratory irritation, as well as headaches, dizziness, weakness, nausea and confusion. An analysis of EPA air testing data has found levels of these chemicals in coastal communities exceeding safety standards.
As of this week, the Louisiana Department of Health has documented 109 reports of illnesses among residents exposed to the spill, with 74 of those complaints coming from cleanup workers, according to ProPublica. In Alabama, another 19 cases of illness have been reported among people exposed to chemicals in the spill.

CDC advises “Everyone, including pregnant women” to avoid areas affected by spill; Expert says crude oil contains “some of the most toxic chemicals
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, working with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, has issued health warnings…
While they suggest there is no threat, the CDC simultaneously advised “everyone, including pregnant women” to avoid spill-affected areas. …
Shira Kramer, an epidemiologist who has conducted research for the petroleum industry on the health consequences of exposure to petroleum, said she is concerned that the risks are being downplayed.
“It’s completely scientifically dishonest to pooh-pooh the potential here when you are talking about some of the most toxic chemicals that we know,” said Kramer, who is founder and president of consulting firm Epidemiology International in Hunt Valley, Maryland. She isn’t involved with the Institute panels.
“When you talk about community exposure, you are talking about exposures in unpredictable ways and to subpopulations that may be more highly susceptible than others, such as those of reproductive age, people who are immuno-compromised, children or fetuses. …
“[W]e have a soup of chemicals from the crude, chemicals from the dispersants and pollutants that were already in the water. Who can say how they will interact?”

Oil Spill - 17 big questions about the handling of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
(NaturalNews) What's clear about the BP oil catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico is that the independent journalists are doing a better job of asking the really tough questions than the mainstream media. Sure, CNN, Fox and others are bringing some attention to the matter, and they've done some solid reporting on it, but they haven't yet found a way to ask the deeper questions like why the U.S. government seems to be colluding with BP to cover up the truth about the spill.
Just the other day, I found an article entitled, "16 Burning Questions About The Gulf Of Mexico Oil Spill" on the TheEconomicCollapseBlog.com site (http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/...). It was a really insightful collection of important questions, so I've repeated them below. The author of these questions wasn't mentioned on the page, so I regret I cannot properly attribute the list, but I do think they're worth reviewing, so I've included my own commentary and an extra question below.
Here are the 16 questions:
#1) Barack Obama has authorized the deployment of more than 17,000 National Guard members along the Gulf coast to be used "as needed" by state governors. So what are all of these National Guard troops going to be doing exactly? Are the troops going to be used to stop the oil or to control the public?
Mike's comment: Good question. Much of the response activity to the spill seems to be about controlling the public's perception and limiting media access to the spill site rather than actually cleaning up the mess.
#2) Barack Obama has also announced the creation of a "Gulf recovery czar" who will be in charge of overseeing the restoration of the Gulf of Mexico region following the oil spill. So is appointing a "czar" Obama's idea of taking charge of a situation?
#3) Because it is so incredibly toxic, the UK's Marine Management Organization has completely banned Corexit 9500, so if there was a major oil spill in the UK's North Sea, BP would not be able to use it. So why is BP being allowed to use Corexit 9500 in the Gulf of Mexico?
Mike's answer: Because Corexit kills sea animals and makes them sink and disappear rather than allowing them to wash up on shore where the emotional outcry would be even worse than it is already.
#4) It is being reported that 2.61 parts per million of Corexit 9500 (mixed with oil at a ratio of 1:1o) is lethal to 50% of fish exposed to it within 96 hours. That means that 1 gallon of Corexit 9500/oil mixture is capable of rendering 383,141 gallons of water highly toxic to fish. So why was BP allowed to dump 1,021,000 gallons of Corexit 9500 and Corexit 9527 into the Gulf of Mexico, and why aren't they being stopped from dumping another 805,000 gallons of these dispersants that they have on order into the Gulf?
Mike's answer: Sadly, BP is running the show in the Gulf, not the government! The U.S. government has sold out to private corporations who now think they own the gulf and can run operations there however they see fit.
#5) If these dispersants are so incredibly toxic to fish, what are they going to do to crops? What are they going to do to people?
Mike's answer: They're obviously going to poison the entire Gulf Coast region if hurricanes whip up these chemicals and deposit them on land. We could be looking at a complete wipeout of the Florida citrus industry, for example, if all the worst conditions converge.
#6) If the smell of the oil on some Gulf beaches is already so strong that it burns your nostrils, then what in the world is this oil doing to wildlife that encounter it?
#7) Is it a bad sign that birds from the Gulf region are flocking north by the thousands?
Mike answer: Remember the Tsunami in the Indian ocean a few years back? The animals fled first, while the clueless people stayed behind and got clobbered by the deadly wave. I think a similar thing could be happening in the Gulf. All it takes is one hurricane to turn the entire region into a toxic stew of chemical poison.
#8) Why is BP being allowed to use private security contractors to keep the American people away from the oil cleanup sites?
Mike's answer: Yes, this is the real question. BP is running security in the Gulf the same way Halliburton runs security in the Middle East. The corporate contractors are now the police force in the area, and they're running the Gulf as if they owned it! This is a clear indication that the corporations have taken over our government.
#9) Why is BP openly attempting to manipulate the search results on sites like Google and Yahoo?
#10) Why has the FAA shut down the airspace above the Gulf of Mexico oil spill? What don't they want the American people to see?
Mike's answer: There are lots of answer to this one: The feds probably don't want people in small airplanes taking aerial photos and posting them online (because the Obama administration is working overtime to cover up the truth here, much like the Bush administration did with the flag-draped coffins coming home from war in the Middle East). It could also be that they are planning something really crazy like a deep ocean nuke to collapse the well, and they don't want civilians falling out of the sky when the mushroom cloud appears.
#11) Senator Bill Nelson of Florida says there are reports that there are additional ruptures in the sea floor from which oil is leaking. If there are quite a few of these additional ruptures, then how in the world does BP expect to completely stop this oil leak?
Mike's answer: BP actually doesn't expect to stop this leak anytime soon. They are clearly in full-on spin mode, just trying to deny the truth and spin the words to buy themselves more time to offload stock shares before the whole thing comes tumbling down.
#12) Why are scientists finding concentrations of methane at up to 10,000 times normal background levels in Gulf waters?
Mike's answer: Because BP broke the ocean floor, and now huge volumes of gas hydrates (which contain methane) are bubbling up from places that were previously trapped safely underground.
#13) At some testing stations in the Gulf of Mexico, levels of benzene have been detected at over 3000 parts per billion, and levels of hydrogen sulfide have been detected as high as 1192 parts per billion. Considering that these levels would be highly toxic to humans, why hasn't the general public been warned?
#14) Why are so many Gulf oil spill disaster workers showing up at local hospitals complaining of a "mysterious illness"?
Mike's answer: This is going to be the Gulf War Syndrome of the Gulf Coast. Or the 9/11 asbestos question affecting firefighters. There will be a wave of toxic side effects from the use of chemicals in the Gulf, and both BP and the federal government will predictably deny any link between the chemicals and the health effects for years to come.
#15) If "70% or 80%" of the protective booms are doing absolutely nothing at all to stop the oil, then what is going to stop the millions of gallons of oil in the Gulf from eventually reaching shore?
Mike's answer: Nothing, of course. The oil is going to reach the shore, and there's nothing BP or the feds can do to stop in. In fact, it seems as if they are trying to interfere with the cleanup by halting the barges that were supposed to be vacuuming oil just off the beaches.
#16) It is being reported that the deep sea oil plumes are creating huge "dead zones" where all creatures are dying as they are deprived of oxygen. If this oil spill continues to grow could the vast majority of the Gulf of Mexico become one gigantic "dead zone"?
Mike's answer: Indeed, that is precisely what looks likely to happen. The Gulf of Mexico could become a massive dead zone, adding to the long list of humanity's crimes against the planet. See my related CounterThink cartoon at: http://www.naturalnews.com/029015_a...
I've also added one more question of my own:
#17) Why is our government colluding with BP to cover up the truth about the spill?
Remember the BP press conferences on cable news? A U.S. Coast Guard representative was standing right there beside the BP spokesperson, almost as if she were a subordinate of BP. This is insane! If anything, the US Coast Guard should be telling BP what to do, not the other way around.
And why is the US Coast Guard restricting reporters' access to the spill areas, threatening them with arrest if they "trespass." Trespass into PUBLIC waters? Doesn't anybody realize that BP does not own the Gulf of Mexico and if we want to take our boats out into the Gulf to get some video of what's really happening there, that's our right! But the U.S. government is now working for BP, it seems, and they're trying to protect BP's image by restricting the freedoms of ordinary Americans.
Sound familiar? That's why I think this Gulf of Mexico disaster is another 9/11 reactionary freedom squasher in the works. Just wait... you'll see what kind of freedom-destroying ideas are put forth by our lawmakers in response to this catastrophe. When it's all said and done, it won't only be British Petroleum that loses; it will be all of us.
The Corporatocracy and government collusion
What we're really witnessing here with the BP disaster is our own government colluding with the powerful corporatocracy to cover up the truth all while making it worse by interfering with legitimate cleanup efforts.
It's almost as if the federal government were actively working to worsen the problem and expand the impact of the disaster. But that brings up the question: Why?
Why would our own government worsen a catastrophe? The answer, of course, is right in front of you. Just visit ground zero in New York City and remind yourself of all the various ways the U.S. government expanded its power following the collapse of the twin towers. "Never waste a good crisis" is the mantra of Big Government today, and the easiest way to steal even more power away from the people is to turn a small disaster into a big disaster, then leap in with a "government solution" that enacts some large, oppressive new act that never would have been possible before the disaster.
So what kind of oppressive new laws does the Obama administration want to put in place in response to this disaster? Perhaps government control over all oceans, or government control over all seafood. Maybe they want to outlaw oil over the next 25 years and force everybody to transition to some other form of energy (which may not actually be a bad idea from an ecological perspective, but at what price to freedom?).
There are a thousand other conspiracy theories that try to guess at what the government's true agenda might be in this moment. While it's hard to say which of them (if any) might be true, one thing is crystal clear: The government does not seem interested in solving the problem in the Gulf of Mexico. It is covering up the truth, threatening mainstream journalists who try to photograph the region, restricting air travel over the well site, restricting boat travel anywhere near the spill, and basically lying to the public on a daily basis about what's really happening there.
That alone should make any thinking person suspicious. If the situation were really under control, why would they have to lie about it?
US government poisons its own citizens
There is precedent for believing that the U.S. government might try to poison its own citizens in order to achieve a political goal. During Prohibition, the U.S. government actually released poisoned alcohol in order to harm (or kill) those who were defying the law and drinking liquor.
That story is published today here on NaturalNews.com. Read it to learn more about what our own government may be capable of doing when it wishes to exercise power of the People.{SubscribeHealthRangerBlock}
(NaturalNews) What's clear about the BP oil catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico is that the independent journalists are doing a better job of asking the really tough questions than the mainstream media. Sure, CNN, Fox and others are bringing some attention to the matter, and they've done some solid reporting on it, but they haven't yet found a way to ask the deeper questions like why the U.S. government seems to be colluding with BP to cover up the truth about the spill.
Just the other day, I found an article entitled, "16 Burning Questions About The Gulf Of Mexico Oil Spill" on the TheEconomicCollapseBlog.com site (http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/...). It was a really insightful collection of important questions, so I've repeated them below. The author of these questions wasn't mentioned on the page, so I regret I cannot properly attribute the list, but I do think they're worth reviewing, so I've included my own commentary and an extra question below.
Here are the 16 questions:
#1) Barack Obama has authorized the deployment of more than 17,000 National Guard members along the Gulf coast to be used "as needed" by state governors. So what are all of these National Guard troops going to be doing exactly? Are the troops going to be used to stop the oil or to control the public?
Mike's comment: Good question. Much of the response activity to the spill seems to be about controlling the public's perception and limiting media access to the spill site rather than actually cleaning up the mess.
#2) Barack Obama has also announced the creation of a "Gulf recovery czar" who will be in charge of overseeing the restoration of the Gulf of Mexico region following the oil spill. So is appointing a "czar" Obama's idea of taking charge of a situation?
#3) Because it is so incredibly toxic, the UK's Marine Management Organization has completely banned Corexit 9500, so if there was a major oil spill in the UK's North Sea, BP would not be able to use it. So why is BP being allowed to use Corexit 9500 in the Gulf of Mexico?
Mike's answer: Because Corexit kills sea animals and makes them sink and disappear rather than allowing them to wash up on shore where the emotional outcry would be even worse than it is already.
#4) It is being reported that 2.61 parts per million of Corexit 9500 (mixed with oil at a ratio of 1:1o) is lethal to 50% of fish exposed to it within 96 hours. That means that 1 gallon of Corexit 9500/oil mixture is capable of rendering 383,141 gallons of water highly toxic to fish. So why was BP allowed to dump 1,021,000 gallons of Corexit 9500 and Corexit 9527 into the Gulf of Mexico, and why aren't they being stopped from dumping another 805,000 gallons of these dispersants that they have on order into the Gulf?
Mike's answer: Sadly, BP is running the show in the Gulf, not the government! The U.S. government has sold out to private corporations who now think they own the gulf and can run operations there however they see fit.
#5) If these dispersants are so incredibly toxic to fish, what are they going to do to crops? What are they going to do to people?
Mike's answer: They're obviously going to poison the entire Gulf Coast region if hurricanes whip up these chemicals and deposit them on land. We could be looking at a complete wipeout of the Florida citrus industry, for example, if all the worst conditions converge.
#6) If the smell of the oil on some Gulf beaches is already so strong that it burns your nostrils, then what in the world is this oil doing to wildlife that encounter it?
#7) Is it a bad sign that birds from the Gulf region are flocking north by the thousands?
Mike answer: Remember the Tsunami in the Indian ocean a few years back? The animals fled first, while the clueless people stayed behind and got clobbered by the deadly wave. I think a similar thing could be happening in the Gulf. All it takes is one hurricane to turn the entire region into a toxic stew of chemical poison.
#8) Why is BP being allowed to use private security contractors to keep the American people away from the oil cleanup sites?
Mike's answer: Yes, this is the real question. BP is running security in the Gulf the same way Halliburton runs security in the Middle East. The corporate contractors are now the police force in the area, and they're running the Gulf as if they owned it! This is a clear indication that the corporations have taken over our government.
#9) Why is BP openly attempting to manipulate the search results on sites like Google and Yahoo?
#10) Why has the FAA shut down the airspace above the Gulf of Mexico oil spill? What don't they want the American people to see?

Environmental Engineer: Dispersants Have to Stop Now
Vatic Project - Daily Summary ... June 18, 2010
I. Blog: The Vatic Project
Post: Environmental Engineer: Dispersants Have to Stop Now
Vatic Note: Please read what this environmental Engineer has to say which is what I have been saying all along. BP, KNOWS exactly what that chemical does and it is killing the gulf when it did not have to do so. Here is an article to discuss corexit that supports what he is saying. Scroll down half way and it begins at half way mark on what corexit is. Its a killer. Why then are they doing it? Remember, we learned that this chemical interacts with water to form a gas cloud that can travel anywhere in the US and when it rains it will kill our plants during the prime period of the growing season. It will be too late to replant new crops and the soil will be damaged beyond repair if it comes down to earth which it will. This engineer has been trying to get someone in government to listen to him and of course they can't hear him because they are TOO BUSY WITH LOCKING DOWN "AND CONTROLLING" ALL INFORMATION that goes out to the public and leaving the fascist BP in charge of all things that our elected reps should be dealing with instead of private mercenary contractors. . We must understand that means we do not really know what is going on or the impact of this on us OR THEIR INTENT given this has been known it was going to happen for sometime now. Notice once the public on their own put out all the indicators that BP knew and had this planned in advance, they finally came out over the past couple of days and said they knew, so they traded their stock instead of preventing the problem, IF ITS A REAL PROBLEM. Not necessary if its not a real problem. I said it before and I am going to keep saying it, THIS IS CHEMICAL WARFARE AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BY OUR SWORN ENEMY. Just try to remember who owns BP and who owns the toxic chemical company and once you see that you will understand this is a war that they are conducting against us using fear for manipulating us into compliance, in fact the people are so scared that I bet they begin to beg to be put into the camps just like those in Katrina. Now no food in the bay and the chemicals are killing the crops growing right now, so that will make those that do not leave without food or decent water. See the next one on BP trying to stop the rescue of turtles that are endangered. WHY???
Link: http://vaticproject.blogspot.com/2010/06/environmental-engineer-dispersants-have.html
II. Post: BP Blocks Attempt to Save Endangered Sea Turtles from Oil Spill
Vatic Note: Remember, this sea life can withstand the oil a lot longer than we had imagined and we got that from the valdez rescue of so many birds and wildlife. But these animals cannot withstand the "43 times more toxic" disbursing agent being used. Please watch the video below of the fisherman who said they are rescuing these turtles within a short distance of the blow out location. Now that caught my attention big time since that is suppose to be where the millions of gallons a day is pumping out of there, and yet they are catching these turtles still alive and swimming around and are well enough to be rehabiliated? Something is wrong here. Seriously, how can this be? I can understand it if it were many miles away but not that close?
Now, given there are so many other non toxic options, why did they use the corexit? AND WHY ARE THE PREVENTING THE FISHERMEN TO RESCUE THE JUVENILE TURTLES??? Food??? Is it because they are easily accessible food supply for the people living in this region? Add that to the fact that the disbursant is turning into a gas forming cloud when it hits the water and you then you have the plant life on shore also under attack. Finally, WHO IS BP TO TELL US WE CAN'T RESCUE OUR TURTLES??? This is major intentional crime and worse, after the EPA told BP to stop using the disbursant, they ignored our government and continued, intentionally to use it, therefore the crime is even bigger because of that. Now its time to write to the President and ask for the PROSECUTION OF THESE CRIMINALS? Have they filed charges? Have they made arrests??? If not, why not??? These are questions that must be answered becasue the only answer I can see, is not the one they would like us to have which is, "even the government is in on it." That makes them criminals as well. Lots to consider once this calms down a bit. "WHY?" on all of it, is the big question and the answers are getting to be fewer and fewer and much more evil once you read all the articles on this site about depopulation.

III. Post: Food and Depopulation (Part 1 of 4) , Rockefeller Family
Vatic Note: We will be watching this over time and bring you all four parts of the series. This is important because you can see it unfolding as we sit here watching the chemical clouds from the gulf move inland and begin to kill the plants along their path and to make people ill. Right now reports from the gulf suggests that the smell of the chemicals are horrific, like toxic battery acid and people are truly getting ill from it. We will republish the article on the affects of this "Goldman Sachs" chemical disbursement on humans and its 4 times worse than any impact of the oil. Remember also, animals can recover from the oil, but are dying and cannot recover from the chemical poisoning and chemical warfare being conducted against it. It wasn't bad enough they had to rape and pillage our wealth from the nation, but now they have to destroy our natural resources and move into their DEPOPULATION plan. Well, justice does always find a way and we will help that process along. How we do it depends on our leaders and how seriously they take their jobs in this area. If they don't take it seriously then we will.

IV. Post: Profitable Depopulation Plot Links JP Morgan-Chase and Goldman Sachs to Vaccination Contaminations and BigPharma Corruption
Vatic Note: Do not forget that Wall Street has a derivative on Seniors betting when they will die off while also buying out the cash equity in the seniors life insurance policies for PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR, and thus the senior only gets about 7,500 or maybe even $20,000 up front, and when that senior dies, the wall street player not only gets the face value of the policy say, maybe 100,000 dollars, but also gets the derivative bet that the senior died. Which makes all these policies between JP Morgan and our health industry a serious conflict of interest in favor of wall street. In fact, you could say its an incentive to do wrong and harm another.

V. Post: Wikileaks founder fears for his life
Vatic Note: It is ashame that we have come to this point in our world, not just our nation. This is similar to the prewar period in Nazi Germany, only global. This is what happens when a foreign nation with no respect for international law, laws of humanity, and laws of civil behavior are totally ignored, and it occupies your nation through war that is undeclared and fought surrepticiously. Then your country begins to take on the demeanor, practices, and philosophy of your OCCUPIER. We all know what that looks like, concentration camps created with brick walls, embargoes of food and medical supplies (who does that to civilian populations? No one except our foreign occupying nation that should never have been given nation status since they don't know how to behave like good nations and neighbors). Its why we are becoming like them since 32 of their citizens occupy our White House and congress. Its time we took our own identity back again, but unfortunately we waited too long. Now we are going to have to do it the hard and costly way. Too bad, but it was our choice to let it go on this long. I hope the owner of Wikileaks remains in good health and can find the ability to continue his good work.

GULF OIL SPILL : DISASTER? OR A WELL ORGANIZED PLAN
In the last few months, a strange series of events has taken place surrounding the April 20th BP Gulf oil spill. The Intel Hub will attempt to lay out some of the seemingly unbelievable facts in a manner which can easily be understood.
Between March 22nd and March 24th, several drills involving an oil spill took place.“Spills Of National Significance” was a drill ran by DHS and the Coast Guard. The SONS documents were first broke by the Intel Hub on May 8, 2010. More than a week later, ABC News would of course take credit for the story.
We now know, through witness testimony, that there were cracks reported in the drill casing two weeks prior to the disaster. Goldman Sachs sold 44% of their total holdings, 4,680,822 shares of BP stock in the first quarter of 2010. Goldman Sachs earned about $ 266 million on the sale.
Apparently, Halliburton also had some psychic insight on what was soon to come. Eleven days before the explosion aboard the Deepwater Horizon, Halliburton purchased an oil spill prevention firm. Halliburton was the lead company in charge of cementing the Deepwater rigs as well.
Just hours before the rig explosion, The Bureau of Land Management took part in a surprise inspection aboard the Deepwater Horizon. A four man team quickly flashed credentials to a supervisor and was then allowed access to the entire rig. Zac Zimmerman reveals in this interview how odd this particular BLM visit really was. Not to mention,many rigs have burned for weeks at a time without collapsing.
Another important fact is that Obama, along with DHS and the Department of the Interior, sent SWAT teams to the gulf to inspect all platforms and rigs. One must question, why would you deploy over 30 SWAT teams in response to an oil spill unless it was an act of terrorism, an act of war, or they if they were sent to carry out some sort of covert operation?

BP seeking billions for Gulf cleanup
BP chief executive Tony Hayward as been relieved of day-to-day control of efforts to stop the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Energy giant BP is asking for billion-dollar loans to help it resolve the oil spill crisis as crude continues to gush from an underwater well in the Gulf of Mexico.
BP PLC, battling to contain the oil spill under the Gulf of Mexico, now is seeking loans of $1 billion from each of seven banks to raise up to $7 billion. The corporation may also raise five billion dollars in an unsecured bond. US President Barack Obama has demanded that the company provide $20 billion for damage claims. On Wednesday, BP announced plans to cut payments of dividends this year.
Experts say that despite different methods applied by BP for plugging the flow, 35 to 60 thousand barrels of oil are still spilling into the Gulf of Mexico every day. Meanwhile, BP chief executive Tony Hayward has been relieved of day-to-day control of efforts to stop the oil spill, the company's chairman confirmed. BP managing director Bob Dudley will now take charge of the response to the spill, which continues to threaten the Gulf Coast.

NEW ORLEANS – BP's chairman said Friday that CEO Tony Hayward is on his way out as the company's point man on the Gulf oil spill crisis, a day after Hayward enraged members of Congress by offering few answers about how the environmental disaster happened. It was unclear when the switch will occur.
BP Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg told Britain's Sky News television on Friday that Hayward "is now handing over the operations, the daily operations to (BP Managing Director) Bob Dudley." BP had said this month that Dudley would take over the long-term response to the spill once the leak was stopped, but millions of gallons continue to spew and that milestone remains months away.
Svanberg's statement sowed confusion, with other BP officials saying Hayward remains in charge. Spokesman Toby Odone said "Nothing has changed" since the earlier announcement regarding Dudley, and spokesman Tristan Vanhegan said the "board still has confidence in Tony."
BP's move overshadowed some positive news in the cleanup effort. Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen announced earlier Friday that a newly expanded containment system is capturing or incinerating more than 1 million gallons of oil daily, the first time it has approached its peak capacity.
And the system will soon grow. By late June, the oil giant hopes it can keep nearly 90 percent of the flow from hitting the ocean.
But the massive leak, set off by an oil rig explosion that killed 11 workers nearly two months ago, will not be stopped completely until at least August. BP has been hammered for its response, in part because of comments by Hayward that Gulf Coast residents horrified by the spill consider insensitive.
Hayward shocked residents in slick-hit Louisiana by saying, "I would like my life back." He was quoted by the Times of London suggesting that Americans were particularly likely to file bogus claims — a statement that gained significance Friday when a House committee said BP has paid less than 12 percent of claims submitted. President Barack Obama suggested he would fire Hayward if he could.
On Thursday, Hayward told lawmakers on a U.S. House investigations panel that he was out of the loop on decisions surrounding the blown well. Both Democrats and Republicans were infuriated when he asserted, "I'm not stonewalling."
"It is clear that Tony has made remarks that have upset people," said Svanberg, who made a misstep of his own this week when he said BP cares "about the small people." But he added that Hayward "is also a man who has probably been on 100 hours of TV time and maybe 500."
Dudley, an American-born oil man with more than 30 years in the industry, has been BP's managing director since 2009. His responsibilities include broad oversight of the company's activities in the Americas and Asia, and earlier this month he was named head of the company's disaster management unit.
Svanberg told Sky News that no matter who is heading BP's oil spill response, "as long as we don't close the well and take care of this, there will be criticisms about many things."
Many Gulf Coast residents and business owners who have been economically devastated by the spill are still waiting for compensation from BP. The House Judiciary Committee said data it has collected shows that BP has paid $71 million out of an estimated $600 million in outstanding claims as of Tuesday. It based the figure on data it collected from BP's daily reports to the Coast Guard on claims and on discussions with BP.
The committee said not one of the 717 claims for bodily injury, or the 175 claims for diminished home property value, have been paid.
"I remain concerned that BP is stiffing too many victims and shortchanging others," said the committee's chairman, Michigan Democrat John Conyers.
BP spokesman Scott Dean said in an e-mail that the company had paid out $95 million as of Friday, and it had written about 30,000 checks to settle about half of the 63,000 claims it has received.
The chief of the Independent Claims Facility — the newly created office charged with distributing $20 billion in compensation from BP — said a plan to handle the remaining damage claims will be in place in 30 to 45 days. Kenneth Feinberg said he hopes to have a program going forward that would provide payment within 30 to 60 days of someone submitting a new claim.
Those pledges don't mean much to Jerry Forte, who filed a business claim with BP more than a month ago and hasn't seen a dime. His seafood processing business on the docks in Pass Christian, Miss., used to bring in more than $1 million a year but now is practically shuttered.
"I'm 99 percent down. They took all the shrimp boats. I don't have anybody shrimping," Forte said Friday. "My bank accounts are all going down to nothing because we're spending it all on bills, just waiting on BP."
The slow claims process is just one of many criticisms lawmakers and the public have had with BP's response to the spill — and many of the toughest complaints have been directed at Hayward.
Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., said the CEO's "evasive and obstructive" responses during Thursday's congressional testimony further damaged BP's reputation.
"Whether this change in Gulf leadership for BP will be productive remains to be seen," Stupak said in a statement. "I expect that Mr. Dudley will take a much more cooperative and open approach to answering our questions and responding to the needs of the Gulf region. If not, his tenure will likely be as short lived as Mr. Hayward's."
The recent oil containment efforts are a rare bit of good news for BP and suggest that its engineers are getting better at trapping oil after a two-month string of failures with equipment that clogged, proved ineffective or was simply abandoned.
"This is a significant improvement moving forward," said Adm. Allen, the top federal official in charge of the spill.
But there's still much that can go wrong, from strained hoses breaking to ships colliding in the crowded seas over the leak. A bolt of lightning that hit a drill ship this week started a fire and halted oil collection for hours.
Stopping the leak will require a pair of relief wells that are not expected to be ready until August, although drilling has gone faster than expected.
"Certainly stopping it is the first step and the important thing anyone can do," said Ed Overton, a professor of environmental studies at Louisiana State University. "Mother Nature can handle a lot of insult. It's just when you pile it and pile it and pile it."
Even if the new containment systems are a success, it could take months for those living along the Gulf Coast to notice any improvement. Experts say oil could be washing up for another six months, and it may take years for wildlife populations harmed by the spill to rebound to levels seen before the leak.
To collect oil, BP now has a containment cap sitting over a well bore that is siphoning oil and gas to a drill ship on the ocean surface. Separate lines are pulling oil and gas from beneath a stack of pipes above the seafloor to a drilling rig where the flow is burned. Engineers have been working since Wednesday to bring that system to full speed.
The ability to contain oil should grow as BP and the federal government move toward getting oil-trapping equipment in place that could better withstand Gulf hurricanes. In addition, BP wants to take off the existing cap in July and replace it with one of three possible designs that would offer a tighter seal and siphon oil to two ships waiting above.
Cutting back on the flow would give cleanup crews some breathing room.
For example, the Coast Guard has put an emphasis on skimming the heavy oil as close to the damaged well as possible, before it breaks into thousands of smaller, unpredictable slicks that meander with the weather and can elude or outpace skimmers as they are pushed to shore.
But if the oil flow was substantially reduced, about 15 offshore skimmers could start chasing ribbons of oil — sometimes as long as 60 miles — that spread away from the leak site, said Coast Guard Rear Adm. James Watson, who coordinates day-to-day oil spill operations.
Watson wasn't ready to make any plans just yet.
"I've tempered my optimism over time with this spill," he said.

Oil spill full of methane, adding new concerns
Oil spill full of methane, adding new concerns
The Associated Press
12:53 PM EST June 18, 2010

It is an overlooked danger in oil spill crisis: The crude gushing from the well contains vast amounts of natural gas that could pose a serious threat to the Gulf of Mexico's fragile ecosystem.
The oil emanating from the seafloor contains about 40 percent methane, compared with about 5 percent found in typical oil deposits, said John Kessler, a Texas A&M University oceanographer who is studying the impact of methane from the spill.
That means huge quantities of methane have entered the Gulf, scientists say, potentially suffocating marine life and creating "dead zones" where oxygen is so depleted that nothing lives.
"This is the most vigorous methane eruption in modern human history," Kessler said.
Methane is a colorless, odorless and flammable substance that is a major component in the natural gas used to heat people's homes. Petroleum engineers typically burn off excess gas attached to crude before the oil is shipped off to the refinery. That's exactly what BP has done as it has captured more than 7.5 million gallons (28 million liters) of crude from the breached well.
A BP spokesman said the company was burning about 30 million cubic feet (850,000 cubic meters) of natural gas daily from the source of the leak, adding up to about 450 million cubic feet (12.7 million cubic meters) since the containment effort started 15 days ago. That's enough gas to heat about 450,000 homes for four days.
But that figure does not account for gas that eluded containment efforts and wound up in the water, leaving behind huge amounts of methane.
BP CEO TONY HAYWARD TO BE RELIEVED OF DAY TO DAY DUTIES
http://www.wtsp.com/news/local/extras/story.aspx?storyid=134423&catid=261
LONDON (AP) -- The chairman of BP says embattled chief executive Tony Hayward is being relieved of day-to-day responsibility for managing the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
According to the transcript of an interview with Sky News television released Friday, chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg Svanberg says that Hayward "is now handing over the operations, the daily operations to (BP Managing Director) Bob Dudley." Continued at above link
Massive Oil Plumes Inching Closer to Florida Panhandle
PENSACOLA BEACH (AP) -- Skimming vessels and boom lines are trying to hold off two massive plumes of oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill that are inching closer to the western Florida Panhandle.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection said Sunday that one of the slicks is as close as three miles south of Pensacola Pass.
The pass is adjacent to a section of the Gulf Islands National Seashore and Pensacola Beach.
Another patchy, orange slick was 9 miles south of the pass. It is at least 2 miles wide and extends 40 miles to the south.
The DEP said winds continue to blow the oil toward the shore, increasing the chances of tar balls and weathered crude on the beaches during the next week.
"We're seeing this oil now and it still looks pretty fresh.' said Kenneth Manning with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission. "It's still pumping 200 miles from here. So it's hard to say when this stuff is going to hit. But when this stuff hits, its going to be so much worse than tarballs cause its actual liquid."
The DEP said winds continue to blow the oil toward the shore, increasing the chances of tar balls on the beaches during the next week.

Spill threatens NW Florida; Intracoastal Waterway may close
NOAA
A NOAA projection shows where the spill is expected to have spread by Friday.
Oil has begun invading beaches in Northwest Florida and is seeping into Pensacola Bay, leading state officials to warn that the Intracoastal Waterway may have to be closed to commercial traffic.
Small deposits are already drifting to inland waters, and large concentrations are right off-shore and moving closer with every incoming tide. Closing the Intracoastal Waterway, a vital inland conduit for shipping and barge traffic, becomes more likely with each incoming tide, Sarah Manning, a state Fish and Wildlife officer, tells NBC station WJHG of Panama City.
"You can see the sheen real well right here," Manning says. "There's a lot of weathered, small tar balls right here" in the bay.
The spread of the oil prompted the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to expand off-limits fishing areas north to Panama City Beach this afternoon. That brings the total area closed to fishing to 80,806 square miles, slightly more than a third of federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico.
NOAA is offering an interactive mapping service providing a wide range of customizable information on the spread of the oil spill. You can track its progress and projected course here.

Sea creatures flee oil spill, gather near shore
JAY REEVES

GULF SHORES, Ala. (AP) — Dolphins and sharks are showing up in surprisingly shallow water just off the Florida coast. Mullets, crabs, rays and small fish congregate by the thousands off an Alabama pier. Birds covered in oil are crawling deep into marshes, never to be seen again.
Marine scientists studying the effects of the BP disaster are seeing some strange — and troubling — phenomena.
Fish and other wildlife are fleeing the oil out in the Gulf and clustering in cleaner waters along the coast. But that is not the hopeful sign it might appear to be, researchers say.
The animals' presence close to shore means their usual habitat is badly polluted, and the crowding could result in mass die-offs as fish run out of oxygen. Also, the animals could easily get devoured by predators.
"A parallel would be: Why are the wildlife running to the edge of a forest on fire? There will be a lot of fish, sharks, turtles trying to get out of this water they detect is not suitable," said Larry Crowder, a Duke University marine biologist.
The nearly two-month-old oil spill has created an environmental catastrophe unparalleled in U.S. history as tens of millions of gallons of have spewed into the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem. Scientists are seeing some unusual things as they try to understand the effects on thousands of species of marine life.
Day by day, scientists in boats tally up dead birds, sea turtles and other animals, but the toll is surprisingly small given the size of the disaster. The latest figures show that 783 birds, 353 turtles and 41 mammals have died — numbers that pale in comparison to what happened after the Exxon Valdez disaster in Alaska in 1989, when 250,000 birds and 2,800 otters are believed to have died.
Researchers say there are several reasons for the relatively small death toll: The vast nature of the spill means scientists are able to locate only a small fraction of the dead animals. Many will never be found after sinking to the bottom of the sea or getting scavenged by other marine life. And large numbers of birds are meeting their deaths deep in the Louisiana marshes where they seek refuge from the onslaught of oil.
"That is their understanding of how to protect themselves," said Doug Zimmer, spokesman for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
For nearly four hours Monday, a three-person crew with Greenpeace cruised past delicate islands and mangrove-dotted inlets in Barataria Bay off southern Louisiana. They saw dolphins by the dozen frolicking in the oily sheen and oil-tinged pelicans feeding their young. But they spotted no dead animals.
"I think part of the reason why we're not seeing more yet is that the impacts of this crisis are really just beginning," Greenpeace marine biologist John Hocevar said.
As for the fish, locals are seeing large schools hanging around piers where fishing has been banned; apparently the fish feel safer now that they are not being disturbed by fishermen.
Also, researchers believe fish are swimming closer to shore because the water is cleaner and more abundant in oxygen. Father out in the Gulf, researchers say, the spill is not only tainting the water with oil but also depleting oxygen levels.
A similar scenario occurs during "dead zone" periods — the time during summer months when oxygen becomes so depleted that fish race toward shore in large numbers. Sometimes, so many fish gather close to the shoreline off Mobile that locals rush to the beach with tubs and nets to reap the harvest.
But this latest shore migration could prove deadly.
First, more oil could eventually wash ashore and overwhelm the fish. They could also become trapped between the slick and the beach, leading to increased competition for oxygen in the water and causing them to die as they run out of air.
"Their ability to avoid it may be limited in the long term, especially if in near-shore refuges they're crowding in close to shore, and oil continues to come in. At some point they'll get trapped," Crowder said. "It could lead to die-offs."
The fish could also fall victim to predators such as sharks and seabirds. Already there have been increased shark sightings in shallow waters along the Gulf Coast.
The counting of dead wildlife in the Gulf is more than an academic exercise; the deaths will help determine how much BP pays in damages.
Roger Helm, chief of the Fish and Wildlife Service's contaminants division, said the government expects a battle with BP over the extent of the damage and has every incentive to be scientifically credible.
"Both sides go to their own corner and interpret the data the way they want," Helm said. "This is a legal process, and if we can't get an agreement we'll end up in court."

Press Release: Perfect Science A.D. June 17, 2010
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Chicago,Illinois, June 17, 2010.
Perfect Science A.D. announces its availability to work with local and federal governments to provide oil remediation for the catastrophic oil spill in the
On January 3, 1996 Perfect Science received full approval from the Turkish Standards Institution for implementation of the Perfect Science Environmental Purification Technologies. Perfect Science took emergency action here today to halt to world-wide flood of hydrocarbon pollution by calling for geopolitical adoption and accelerated implementation of a global delivery system for its patented Environmental Cleansing Formulae and Technologies.
The Perfect Science Chairman announced details of a new "direct business" format. The chairman said Perfect Science was prepared to grant each of the world's 216 independent states controlling interest in individual joint ventures and was prepared to accept payment from them in countertrade, with barter levels based on a sliding scale of energy use per capita, in order, he said, "to permit simultaneous adoption and participation by all the world's governments."
The Perfect Science chairman described the Perfect Science Formulae as the master key for unlocking the entire complex of hydrocarbon substances, as well as all the other organic chemicals, that are currently laying siege to and disabling the earth's soil, water and atmosphere. "Having the passkey to organic chemistry means you can clean up all carbonaceous fuels and everything petrochemical from cradle to grave." But in addition to neutralizing all the poisonous effects, the Perfect Science Formulae will renovate industrial processes at all levels and in all sectors, permitting continued economic expansion without environmental debacle." The sudden and thoroughgoing revision of all organic chemistry," the chairman continued, "will require similar revision of the industrial, financial and insurance matrices within each sovereign state. Moreover it is the responsibility, and it will become the duty, of each government to take effective measures locally for rescuing its people and region. This task will naturally include the proper co-ordination and regulation of the Perfect Science Formulae."
The Perfect Science chairman stated further that the projected rescue of the planetary environment by the emergency implementation of the Perfect Science Formulae will simultaneously produce at least six other major stabilizations:
· of energy supply and demand
· of insurance markets
· of unfunded liabilities
· of soft currencies
· of international relations
· of national debts and revenues
Mikhail Gorbachev's speech delivered at the Fourth International Global Forum conference in
It is now a well known fact that the severe disruption of global ecosystems is the direct result of 140 years of irresponsible industrialization resulting in the extensive contamination by hydrocarbons and petrochemicals of sovereign atmospheres, lands, surface waters and critical drinking water supplies.It is no understatement to say that these deadly industrial wastes have brought ecosystems around the world to the precarious state of potential collapse. As more and more third world countries enter into industrialization for the benefit of their economies, the added pressure of their industrial wastes, improperly dealt with, will most certainly result in the drastic destabilization of planetary ecosystems.
Mr. Gorbachev clearly stated in his address that the foundations of human existence could be undermined, threatening life on earth. Although these issues of industrial and economic development are complex and are interwoven with cultural and social trends internationally, three major challenges can be identified for discussion.
The first major challenge is the intensive remediation of global environments which have become supersaturated with toxic hydrocarbon and petrochemical wastes. This task will require the development of environmental purification technologies which must be applicable for wide scale, cost effective implementation.
The second major challenge is the complete restructuring of industrial toxic waste stream management which to date is based upon the premise of irresponsible disposal and dumping of toxic wastes into the global environments. This task will require the development of broad based cost effective neutralization technologies which will eliminate the continuation of industrial toxic waste stream disposal into the environment.
The third major challenge is the renovation of The Liquid Fuel Cycle which has been supplying global industry and commerce with fuels that cause massive and aggravated pollution of global atmospheres due to incomplete combustion. This task will require the development of technologies for the construction of new clean burning hydrocarbon eco-fuels, that will permit, through complete combustion, continued use of the vast stockpiles of hydrocarbons available for industry and commerce without the backlash of environmental degradation.
It is the great pleasure of Perfect Science, at this time, to announce that Perfect Science has finalized historic research and development in the above mentioned fields of environmental remediation, industrial toxic waste stream neutralization, and clean burning hydrocarbon eco-fuels. Perfect Science engineers have developed methodologies for the in situ destruction of toxic hydrocarbon and petrochemical wastes.These methodologies can be applied for macro-purification of polluted atmospheres, toxic soils, contaminated surface waters, poisoned drinking water supplies and urban sewage streams. The Perfect Science in situ Purification Technologies render all hydrocarbon and petrochemical pollutants into bio-nutrients.
Toxic surface waters have been completely purified and restored for aquatic life.
Toxic soils have been completely purified and restored for agricultural production.
Toxic drinking water supplies have been completely purified and restored for human consumption. Through aerial application, polluted atmospheres have been completely cleansed.
With regard to neutralization of industrial toxic waste streams Perfect Science has finalized research and development for technologies that thoroughly cleanse industrial waste streams by settling out all heavy metals and at the same time completely destroy in situ toxic chemicals, thereby rendering all industrial effluents suitable for disposal into the environment.Perfect Science has developed for industry advanced fire suppression and fire fighting technologies which make possible, for the first time in industrial history, the collapse of toxic explosive vapor domes prevalent wherever industrial chemicals are stored and utilized.
The Perfect Science Technologies, by successfully collapsing volatile vapor domes of explosive chemicals, can effectively eliminate the threat of aggravated industrial disasters resulting from the use and storage of explosive chemicals.
Thirdly, the renovation of the Liquid Fuel Cycle is a clear priority for mankind at this juncture in human history during which time all industry and commerce worldwide are dependent on a variety of hydrocarbon fuels for their diverse requirements. The simple tragedy of these hydrocarbon fuels is their inability to experience complete combustion during their use. Whether these hydrocarbons are in the form of heavy crudes, coal slurries or diesel fuels the inability for these fuels to completely combust on a molecular level renders vast devastation of global atmospheres. Perfect Science has finalized research and development for the construction of revolutionary clean burning hydrocarbon eco-fuels.Quite simply, The Perfect Science Technologies permit complete and total combustion of all liquid hydrocarbon fuels. The Perfect Science Technologies also purify these hydrocarbon fuels of unwanted sulphur and other minerals. As can be easily surmised regarding the above developments, this process of complete combustion will render a vastly increased yield where each molecule of hydrocarbon fuel will now be utilized during the combustion process.
In truth, Perfect Science has laid the foundation for a new global reality of petrochemistry where the science of hydrocarbons merges with the science of water. From time immemorial water has served as the primary medium for the innumerable complex chemical reactions needed to sustain all life. Within this aqueous medium, at ambient temperatures, chemical reactions are constantly supporting the simplest of micro-organisms to the most complex of species, Man himself. Most certainly, without the complex chemistry of water, all planetary life would cease to exist. Truly, then, the science of water is the chemistry for life.
In the view of history the science of water and the science of hydrocarbons have been at odds. The science of hydrocarbons, with its man-made complex chemical reactions, has supplied much bounty to mankind. However, within aqueous mediums at ambient temperatures, hydrocarbon chemical reactions have been impossible. All that has now been changed forever.
Today, I bring to you a new science of petrochemistry where the complex science of water and the complex science of hydrocarbons are joined as one. Here, within this new petrochemistry, unlimited chemical reactions, heretofore impossible, are now manifested easily, perfectly. Here, within this new petrochemistry, the true science of hydrocarbons will blossom forth and the blessings of Our Creator will be multiplied a thousandfold. Perfect Science is therefore pleased to announce that it has finalized research and development pertaining to historic scientific advancements in the field of petrochemistry.
Perfect Science has developed Formulae, in the form of aqueous based phase transfer catalysts, which have the remarkable capability of reducing or increasing the molecular weight of hydrocarbons in aqueous mediums at ambient temperatures.This remarkable scientific accomplishment is made possible because The Perfect Science Phase Transfer Catalysts disrupt the hydrogen bonding attractive forces of water molecules. This disruption drastically collapses the interfacial tension of water molecules and transforms water in the True Universal Solvent. This new Universal Solvent now has the capacity, for the first time in history, to disrupt the inter-molecular attractive forces binding hydrocarbon molecules (van der Waals force) at ambient temperatures. As a result of this phenomenal action initiated by the Perfect Science Catalysts, the hydrocarbon molecules are place into micro-fine colloidal dispersions. The hydrocarbons are completely dissolved within this new Universal solvent. Aqueous solutions are now created with hydrocarbons in which new and vastly accelerated chemical reactions can take place. Science has determined that the rates of the fastest chemical reactions in aqueous mediums are determined simply by the encounter frequency (frequency of collision) of the reactants or solute particles.By placing hydrocarbons into micro-fine colloidal dispersions the Perfect Science Phase Transfer Catalysts initiate an exponential increase in the frequency of collision of the solute particles within the transformed aqueous medium. This exponential increase in the frequency of collision of the solute particles will permit an unlimited number of accelerated chemical reactions whereby unprecedented oxidation reduction reactions (electron transfer) can take place at ambient temperatures.
The historic capacity of the Perfect Science Phase Transfer Catalysts to reduce or increase the molecular weight of hydrocarbons at ambient temperatures will transform the Liquid Fuel Cycle from cradle to grave. Applied to current hydrocarbon related activities the Perfect Science Catalysts will streamline all phases of extraction, transportation, production, processing, distribution and utilization of hydrocarbons. Perfect Science has engineered specific Phase Transfer Catalysts for application throughout the following hydrocarbon Sciences: enhanced oil reservoir stimulation; viscosity reduction for pipeline transmission; desulphurization; cold cracking; low energy refining; new petrochemicals development; new plastics production; fire suppression and spontaneity inhibition; fuel additives for complete combustion; toxic materials clean-up and disposal; oil storage tank maintenance; by-product neutralization; waste water treatment and environmental remediation of polluted waters and polluted soils.
In summary, clean energy, clean industry and a clean environment are the hallmarks of The Perfect Science Technologies. The advent of The Perfect Science Technologies truly satisfies the dual demands of continued worldwide industrial growth and environmentally sustainable development. In brotherhood, let us conjoin our mutual visions of peace, prosperity and ecological responsibility for the benefit of all nations, their peoples, and the planet that sustains us all.
