I really have tried to stay away from the media on the Gulf oil spill because it is too upsetting. Already up to my eyeballs in research that at times has made me sick to my stomach, had me crying or downright outraged in the area of breast health, dealing with the oil spill has felt like the icing on the cake.
However, through a few emails from my database, I realize that I cannot ignore the devastation that is taking place. Here’s one email that I received with some valuable information.
“The original estimate was about 5,000 gallons of oil a day spilling into the ocean. Now they’re saying 200,000 gallons a day. That’s over a million gallons of crude oil a week!
I’m engineer with 25 years of experience. I’ve worked on some big projects with big machines. Maybe that’s why this mess is so clear to me.
First, the BP platform was drilling for what they call deep oil. They go out where the ocean is about 5,000 feet deep and drill another 30,000 feet into the crust of the earth. This it right on the edge of what human technology can do. Well, this time they hit a pocket of oil at such high pressure that it burst all of their safety valves all the way up to the drilling rig and then caused the rig to explode and sink. Take a moment to grasp the import of that. The pressure behind this oil is so high that it destroyed the maximum effort of human science to contain it.
When the rig sank it flipped over and landed on top of the drill hole some 5,000 feet under the ocean.
Now they’ve got a hole in the ocean floor, 5,000 feet down with a wrecked oil drilling rig sitting on top of is spewing 200,000 [gallons] of oil a day into the ocean. Take a moment and consider that, will you!
First they have to get the oil rig off the hole to get at it in order to try to cap it. Do you know the level of effort it will take to move that wrecked oil rig, sitting under 5,000 feet of water? That operation alone would take years and hundreds of millions to accomplish. Then, how do you cap that hole in the muddy ocean floor? There just is no way. No way.
The only piece of human technology that might address this is a nuclear bomb. I’m not kidding. If they put a nuke down there in the right spot it might seal up the hole. Nothing short of that will work.
If we can’t cap that hole that oil is going to destroy the oceans of the world. It only takes one quart of motor oil to make 250,000 gallons of ocean water toxic to wildlife. Are you starting to get the magnitude of this?
We’re so used to our politicians creating false crises to forward their criminal agendas that we aren’t recognizing that we’re staring straight into possibly the greatest disaster mankind will ever see. Imagine what happens if that oil keeps flowing until it destroys all life in the oceans of this planet. Who knows how big of a reservoir of oil is down there.
Not to mention that the oceans are critical to maintaining the proper oxygen level in the atmosphere for human life.”
It was when I read the paragraph about the politicians creating false crises that I realized that part of my complacency is that our governments have “cried wolf” too many times. The swine flu is a perfect example of that. So I tend to not pay alot of attention to the media and all the hoopalas it manages to create just to stir up the pot of fear in people. However, it appears that this one is for real and we need to do whatever we can.
At this point, our prayers and positive healing thoughts for our dear Mother Earth may be the most appropriate. As this author concluded his comments that we need a miracle, I’m inclined to agree. If anyone wants to share what they have heard or comments, it feels like this one would be a good one to pursue as far as discussion and involvement.
Have a blessed Mother’s Day.

Mother Earth bleeds. We, as a people, with our demands for oil based products are contributing to the greed of the oil moguls. We, as a people, need to NOW DEMAND that the FREE Energy systems that are hidden away, be released, before we destroy our magnificent home. Start praying for miracles which will come from our own love and light. We have the power. USE IT!
