Most important oil spill video this week! Main leak NOT coming from the live footage feed

[faceit]

This was posted in the political videos, but unfortunately, it quickly fell off the front page. I am posting it here because imho, this is THE most important information we have received on this disaster.

According to these two oil industry experts who have been monitoring the spill and consulting with government officials, the bulk of this spill is not coming from the live video feed being shown on all the cable channels and internet links. They also elaborate on how and why BP has been handling this spill outside industry standards. They also reveal how BP has handled this to hide the size of this spill, and why this has made matters even worse.

Don't be diverted by the smoke and mirrors game being played by BP. They are manipulating the footage, diverting our attention from its true scope, and hoping their efforts to disperse the oil with toxic chemicals underwater will hide the scope. It won't work, but they are desperate.

Very troubling and raises big questions about how much the Administration and Congress know...Since these guys are advising government officials, it would seem likely that they must.

Here's the video - please watch, share of facebook, k&r here on DU. Memorial day weekend, this could be a big news dump. So let's be the media and inform each other. Thanks

I would ask the moderators to put kpete's original post in the journal section. And, thanks to kpete for passing this on. You rock!

1. Why would ANYONE unrecommend this post - this video needs to be on top of the front page

Please kick & recommend this video so EVERYONE see's it.

It should be pinned to the top of the front page, as far as I am concerned.

16. I rec'd

there are a group of people that are defending BP as if their livelihoods depending on it. I don't know if they get paid or not, but their loyalties are naked and obvious.

[Lorien]

22. In case you haven't noticed it, we have BP industry trolls on this board

we also have some from Big Pharma, the insurance corporations, and Big Ag. Google "Pay per post" to learn more about these professional propagandists.

[MisterP]

23. "the WH is right to trust BP" "OMG Choi is so SMART! we're in Good Hands That I Trust" "an attack on

BP is an attack on the President and on us all"

2. Why would there be a second gusher 6 miles away?

Is that what they mean to say?

What does this imply in terms of their dishonesty and why?

[faceit]

3. Watch the video, they explain it - I am trying to find a transcript -

Lot's of important info here.

6. It's coming from the sunken rig, apparently. So a leak, not a gusher.

Apparently there was a troll on the Oil Drum forum yesterday claiming there was a major new gusher six miles away, and all the conspiracy theorists have latched onto the idea.

9. I'm not buying this until there is a better explanation, these guys seem shakey nt

[yella_dawg]

20. This isn't unreasonable.

Caverns fill with oil then gush out where they near the surface. We had one well locally that popped up in a pond over eight miles from the drill site. They were pumping mud and cotton seed hulls into a "void" to reestablish circulation so that drilling could resume and oops! It happens a lot. Oil formations are caverns, really. The voids fill with oil and gas and it becomes a petroleum reservoir.

24. I'm with you. Let a more reliable news source with better

experts chime in on this. While I fully believe the size and density of this spill is being down played by both BP and the Obama admin, lets see this 'news' go a little deeper before taking to the streets in a frenzy.

4. One thing looks certain - BP's arrogance extends to its problem solving ability

Riser is on the rig floor, away from the BOP? and they haven't checked for that possiblity - statement by Matt

[flamingdem]

5. Ut oh - these guys are advocating nuclear blast ... so not so sure about them nt

[faceit]

7. No they did not.

[flamingdem]

8. It was mentioned as a possible solution nt

[Shining Jack]

25. He said "bomb",never mentioned a nuke. n/t

[WeDidIt]

10. Top Oil Drum has debunked these idiots. They are not experts. n/t

[flamingdem]

11. Thanks. Once they threw out the blow it up idea I could tell they are winging it nt

[chill_wind]

14. Is there a link to the debunker information?

I don't have an informed opinion, but I'd like to know more about the authoritive claims or affiliations of the particular debunker(s) as well.

[Feron]

12. There's simply no evidence to back up his claim.

Don't tell me the main leak is six miles away, prove it.

[Warpy]

13. No, the pictures from earlier in this disaster were of a split

along a pipe length along the ocean floor. This footage is of the damaged BOP, I believe.

In a side note, did that there reporter ketch him a social disease from Emmer? You'd think reporters would look up a word like "emeritus" to learn how to pronounce it correctly or they'd use "former," instead.

[CoffeeCat]

15. I kept wracking my brain...

...and trying to figure out why BP allowed us to see the live feed of
the oil spill.

It didn't make sense. They use the Coast Guard to threaten reporters, so they
can't film oil-soaked beaches. But we're supposed to believe that they're giving
us a front-row seat to the most damning video footage possible--the leak pouring
oil into the gulf???

I didn't know why but I knew that we were being duped somehow.

These BP bastards have absolutely no shame. It's just one big lie after another.

[greiner3]

18. I believe it is misdirection;

Like that used by magicians.

17. à ma grande surprise!!!!!!!!!! not!!!!!!!!

I sat at an airport in Paris yesterday morning and saw this scam reported in Paris!! On the Airport TV's!!

But shhhhhhhhhhh..we don't want Americans to know truth..

Hell, I still see DU'ers making excuses for the lies and deceit!

Seems there are many still here at DU that would like to bury truth..I just wonder who's payroll they are on!!

Thanks to good people like KPETE and many others here at DU ..that care about truth and care about our nation..and will continue to tell the truth...no matter how much bullshit gets thrown out there to deflect truth.

Thank you for reposting this ..the unrec'ers must be working over time to squelch truth.

The Gulf is my back yard..and is the HOME of the creatures that are dying because of the cover ups and the crimes of those who are supposed to be guarding our nation and her resources.

This is a cover up of epic magnitude...and it goes to the top of our government!

19. This was so interesting to watch I'm glad you posted it in it's own thread- thanks!

Thanks!

21. I've spent a lifetime in the oilfield.

Father and grandfather before me. These guys are reciting catch phrases they heard somewhere, stringing them together to create pure drivel. What they're saying simply makes no sense. On the other hand, oil patch rumor claims that there is indeed a leak coming up through underground fissures at a point miles from the wellhead.
