Even the brilliant Rachel Maddow thinks it's time to pray. The 79 well was in 200 feet of water. With this one in 5,000 feet and the columns stretching from seabed to suface for that distance, the volume and the impact on the food chain are multiplied.

A Modern Variation on an Old Tale
Jenna Orkin
Once upon a time, there was a young boy who lived in the town of Anywhere. One day his mother sent him to the woods to pick berries. On his way, he saw a wolf.
"Wolf!" cried the boy, as he ran back to the town.
"The child has an overactive imagination," said the townspeople and resumed building a road to the city where they could sell their berries.
A few days later, the same thing happened again.
"Be off!" said the townspeople to the boy whose concerns were becoming less funny by the moment, and more irksome.
The following week, the scene repeated itself a third time.
While the townspeople were throwing crateloads of rotten berries at the boy, the wolf bounded out of the woods and ate them all.

IT’S TIME TO PRAY
May 29, 2010, 2100 PDT –
I haven’t been able to sleep well because of the obvious chicanery, stupidity and deception being practiced by BP, the mainstream media and the United States government. I have not been able figure out how giant plumes could be originating five miles in either direction of the well that is leaking. I wrote to Matt Simmons and this reply just came in. I’m doing what Matt asked, as quickly as I can. Dinner can wait.
…“In my opinion, what most likely happened when one of the largest surges of oil as gas blew out the BOP and within seconds, began melting down one of the world’s most technically advanced deepwater rigs ever built is that just the BOP and wellhead got tossed far away from the well bore but the riser which was attached to the rig floor was separated from the wellhead/BOP.
“What all the black crap coming out to create these plumes are is the oil from the reservoir and it is staying so deep under the ocean surface that only the recent tests by NOAA research vessels finally saw these giant plumes rapidly spreading across the sea floor of the Gulf of Mexico.
“BP is in total denial that this could be real.
“It is time for the government to ask BP to step aside and bring the military into to managing this colossal failure of judgment by BP.
“Spread this news as we all need to better understand what is really happening.
“Very tragic story.
“Matt”
Let me add my thoughts. -- The obvious collusion between the USG and the mainstream media leads me to believe that the USG has known that a nuke would be the only option within a week of the explosion. About two weeks ago we posted on this blog a link to a story from (I think it was) The Telegraph saying that President Obama had dispatched a team of nuclear scientists to study the situation and evaluate the possibility of using a nuke. One was a co-inventor of the H-bomb. It was a credible story that no press outlet followed up on. Why not?
I believe that the leaks are devastating for all life in the Gulf and that large portions of the Gulf will be dead zones from seabed to surface within maybe six months. I believe that an announcement of a pending nuclear detonation will come within a week to ten days. I predict that US Continuity of Government provisions will be activated and that FEMA will, before end of summer, be placed in complete control of the Southeast United States… limited martial law.
I believe that mankind will have a very rude awakening when the nuclear announcement is made. We will be lucky if North Korea doesn’t seize the moment... or somebody else.
The U.S. government must intervene without hesitation. I completely agree with Matt Simmons. The battle now is to save all life in and around the Gulf of Mexico.
It is time to pray.

A Big Question
Can anyone help me? -- As I have watched all the stories about the Gulf, it's pretty clear that there are at least two and now likely three large plumes coming from the seabed. Simmons and others place one miles away from the well head and the new one is described as being miles in the opposite direction. What I have not seen explained is how these leaks/blowouts are mechanically connected to the Deepwater Horizon event. The rig was in a mile of water. So if the riser fell over, these other leaks should be no more than a mile away. That's how long the riser pipe was. I just can't figure that out. Anybody? How could these blowouts be miles away then and still be mechanically caused as a result of the explosion?

Simmons Says Obama Should Detonate Nukes to Seal Oil Leak
On the second plume: "Cowan said that the submarine traveled about 400 feet down, close to the sea floor, and found oil all the way down. Trying to find the edges of the plume, he said the submarine traveled miles from side to side.
"We really never found either end of it," he said.
This discovery seems to confirm the fears of some scientists that -- because of the depth of the leak and the heavy use of chemical "dispersants" -- this spill was behaving differently than others. Instead of floating on top of the water, it may be moving beneath it."

***********************************************************************
May 25, 2010, 1900 PDT -- WE ARE ALL noticing that suddenly the mainstream media has "discovered" the size of the blowout. Matt Simmons has just estimated the flow at 120,000 bpd and said that there's a likelihood that the whole reservoir will empty... perhaps for years at an ultimately declining rate. Mainstream media is now actually saying it is a "possible extinction event" for life in the entire Gulf. Cuba is feeling it. The Gulf is doomed. But we knew all this, didn’t we? I put those pieces together a while ago... right here.What sickens me is how transparent the media manipulation is. The media's now accusing BP of misleading them, even when I showed that they have been colluding in concealing the magnitude of the flow themselves. I was all over that.
Tonight the world is at the edge. Korea, European debt, Afghanistan, the Gulf, Continued economic implosion. -- A thing worthy of note that might not have caught your attention stems from two distinctly-related stories. One was all over the news today, reporting that Barack Obama had mobilized 1,200 National Guard troops to control the Arizona border. (Half of what John McCain asked for.) And in Flint Michigan there are calls from former elected officials for the Governor to mobilize the Guard to help control an exploding murder rate.
As Orlov and many others have written, one of the things that happens when a civilization collapses is that crime rates soar, old grudges and vendettas are settled and the Empire’s ability to intervene diminishes. Arizona has a very bad situation on its hands. And even though I’m a California boy, and I don’t like racial profiling, those people are truly desperate. Much more illegal population in Arizona and there will be open street wars for control of turf. De facto guerilla armies are forming. In other words... the barbarians have entered the gates.
We are entering a very dangerous period of increasing lawlessness that will soon be seen all over the country.. I received a message today that Matt Savinar’s great blog had a discussion about National Guard troops being mobilized in many states. The writer said that many thought it was for Korea. I stopped, thought for a moment, and said to myself, “It could be the Gulf.... It could be the border too... It could be street crime in Michigan.... Shoot, it could be all three!”
Now appears the vague outlines of what the rightist conspiracy theorists have called “martial law”. Friends, this isn’t martial law. It is desperation. Because if this increasing mobilization doesn’t happen, the nation will become non-functional in very, very short order. Where I differ from the belligerently naive is that I see this period of “martial law” as a brief and ill-fated attempt to put the brakes on something that cannot be stopped. I have always felt that way. There will come a time when we might look back and think, “Those were the good old days.”
WILL THE REAL FEMA PLEASE STAND UP?
Has anyone noticed that FEMA hasn’t been mentioned at all since Deepwater Horizon blew up? The uninformed think of FEMA as a clown factory. There is another FEMA and I suspect that that FEMA has been quietly mobilizing since Day One, under orders from the President, for implementation of Continuity of Government operations, followed by the possible activation of FEMA governmental control for Region 4 of its 10 operating regions. One concern I have always shared with the so-called right wing is the utterly draconian powers that are bestowed under a series of presidential Special Orders starting in the late 1970s and continuing through the present day. This is what FEMA has always been intended to do. The good things it should have done after Katrina weren’t really in its DNA, I don’t think. Bush-Cheney only made it worse.
So when we next hear the name FEMA I think a lot of folks are going to be surprised to see what it looks and acts like.
CollapseNet Notes – We are very close to a launch. One thing that has slowed us down is the virtual explosion in my popularity since my Vermont tour and the fact that we hadn’t really planned on how to make me efficient and able to deal with the demands that will follow the launch. CollapseNet has a couple of job openings posted here on the blog. -- We really need a CFO because if we don’t get set up to handle the money wisely and in the best interests of the Lifeboat Movement we might get buried... or raped. The income we expect will be the energy for our entire movement and we must husband it well.

Recently, there have been technical problems with this blog. Intermittent at first, over the last few days they became constant. I don't know how long this crack in the system, allowing today's post, will last.
Please don't waste time or energy - ours or your own - speculating on causes. (D'ja think they're after Mike again?) At this point, if it's not some disagreement between blogger software and my computer, it's probably a twelve-year-old in Slovakia cutting his teeth on a pathetic target, as anyone who's familiar with my level of geekhood will confirm. This note is just to alert you that if I can't log in anymore before Collapsenet launches, I'll look for another way to reach you. Please don't ask what as I don't know yet.

Recently, there have been technical problems with this blog. Intermittent at first, over the last few days they became constant. I don't know how long this crack in the system, allowing today's post, will last.
Please don't waste time or energy - ours or your own - speculating on causes. (D'ja think they're after Mike again?) At this point, if it's not some disagreement between blogger software and my computer, it's probably a twelve-year-old in Slovakia cutting his teeth on a pathetic target, as anyone who's familiar with my level of geekhood will confirm. This note is just to alert you that if I can't log in anymore before Collapsenet launches, I'll look for another way to reach you. Please don't ask what as I don't know yet.

AS 9/11 HEALTH BILL APPROACHES A CRITICAL VOTE ON TUESDAY, MAY 25TH,
WE NEED YOU TO REACH OUT TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY IN OTHER STATES!!
The 9/11 Health and Compensation Act (H.R. 847) will be voted on by the full House Energy and Commerce Committee in a "markup" session that will be held on Tuesday, May 25th. We all need the bill to emerge from this vote INTACT!
It is critical that the members of the Energy and Commerce Committee HEAR FROM THEIR CONSTITUENTS, the people who live in their districts, urging them to support for HR 847, the 9/11 health bill, and the bill's provisions that provide specialized health care to survivors of 9/11 as well as to responders, for 9/11-related illnesses.
We need you to reach out to any family and friends you may have who reside in the districts of these Representatives. Ask them to please make a call on MONDAY MAY 24 to urge their Representative to do the right thing when HR847 is considered by the Energy and Commerce Committee -- to pass the legislation intact with a guarantee of care for both affected community members and responders, and ensure that the Survivor Program -- which treats residents, area workers and students affected by 9/11 -- is not harmed by hostile amendments that could result in damaging cuts.
Please see the attached speadsheet containing the names of all of the members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, along with the key cities/counties in their districts (to help people identify folks who live in these districts), as well as their Washington DC office phone numbers. Since time is short, you may want to just phone your friends/family/contacts and tell them to make the calls, but we also provide a “Dear Friends” letter below you can paste into an email, along with a brief sample message for your contacts to use when they call their Representative.
Here is the “Dear Friends” letter:
Dear (name of your friend or relative in one of these districts) I am writing to you to ask for your help in ensuring passage of an important bill in Congress that will protect the health of tens of thousands of people affected by the worst act of terror in our nation's history.
As you know, 9/11 was an attack on our nation that killed nearly 3000. What you may not know is that thousands of people are now sick as a result of the World Trade Center attacks from breathing in toxic fumes and dust that resulted from the collapse and burning of the Twin Towers. Some of those people were the brave responders who engaged in rescue and recovery operations and some were people who lived, worked or attended school in the densely populated area around the World Trade Center -- the civilians who were targeted by the terrorists, and who then courageously rebuilt their communities and their lives in the wake of the worst terrorist attack in US history.
This Tuesday, May 25th, H.R. 847, the 9/11 Health and Compensation Act will come up for a vote in the Energy and Commerce Committee of the House of Representatives. If your Representative is included in the attached spreadsheet, I am appealing to you to please call him/her at his/her Washington DC office and urge their full support of the bill and its passage without any damaging amendments. Thank you for your much-needed help. If you want to call me for further details I can be reached at _____.
Best,
And here is a sample message for your contact(s) to use in calling their Representative:
Hello, I’m (your name). I live at (give your address, city, state and zip code) I am calling to urge Representative ____ to give his/her full support to HR 847, the 9/11 Health and Compensation Act which will be acted on by the Energy and Commerce Committee shortly. This bill will provide ten years of treatment for 9/11 related illnesses to survivors of the 9/11 terrorist attacks -- downtown Manhattan residents, students and local workers -- as well as to the brave responders who came to their rescue.
I urge you to oppose any amendments that would eliminate, diminish or otherwise harm any element of the bill, but especially the Survivor Program. 9/11 was an attack on our nation that targeted civilians. Those who were directly harmed as a result of the 9/11 attack deserve the right kind of medical help, help that this bill will provide.
Thank you!

UN Recommends Changing the Way Money Works
WE WALK
May 22, 2010 -- My God, we have all come a long way to see this day. We have to walk. -- We have to walk with the as yet unborn. For they have not had a chance to choose what paradigm they will live in. We walk with the dying because that is how we witness; it is how our witness brings love. We walk, because if we stand still, we die. -- I send you my strength and you send me yours.
