BP Oil spill in Gallons

Tony Hayward gets Grilled, baby, grilled

The Hearings Live with BP CEO Tony Hayward.

Things to keep in mind 1 barrel of oil = 42 gallons

60,000 barrels per day X 59 days = 3.45 million barrels X 42=148.68 million gallons

Exxon Valdez spilled 10.8 million gallons into the Prince William Sound

As we speak the gusher has spewed 13.76 Exxon Valdez Equivalent Units into the Gulf of Mexico

Consider 60,000 barrels per day X 42=2.52 million gallons= 105,000 gallons per hour/ 60=1750 gallons per minute/60= 29.16 gallons per second.

We go on Geraldo

Thoughts on the "Geraldo" appearance.

They will call you a reactionary, a zealot, and a "vigilante" but don't you listen to them.

My video where I, that being my character Stanley, drops grass clippings on the BP property, and then cleans it up because, as he says, he's "better than BP," caught the attention of a producer for FOX's Geraldo at Large, show.

After some back and forth, a couple of emails, the car from FOX arrived at my door at 8:30 p.m. on the dot on June 13. My daughter and I rode in the limo over to the studio of a subcontractor to FOX located within or near the Orlando Universal Studios attraction compound.

The ride itself was amazing. A black Lincoln Continental, a plush cocoon of silent gliding. Seats so comfortable you could stretch out and sleep. I was told Sean Hannity had ridden in this car, as well as some members of the Orlando Magic.

Wow.

Okay, bam. Cut to inside where very nice and cordial dude puts me under the hot lights and the camera. You have the mic and the earpiece hooked up. You're told about the 14 second delay and you wait, staring straight into the camera. You're jacked in, hearing the chatter of not only the show proceeding but, the back and forth of producers asking if everyone for the next segment is ready to go.

My spot is alongside a panel of folks, a gentleman tragically lost a son in the Deepwater Horizon explosion; the woman who now faces and year in prison for pouring oil on herself during the congressional hearing, a damned gutsy move and I wished to hell I had thought of it first; and two officials from a small town in coastal Louisiana.

At first the G-man stated that we all were experts on what to do about the spill. We were also referred to as possibly those sort of folk President Obama "would be listening to." The joke being, myself and, we can suppose, the brave woman who poured oil on herself, are cranks, reactionaries, whack-jobs and so on.

Straight off I was deemed a "self-described vigilante" this before I had opened my mouth. G-man went on to interview the others in this panel, as he said, "trying to get to everybody before we run out of time" and I held my tongue, biting it so as not to interrupt the man who had lost his beloved son.

This is what we risk, if we stand up.

What my character and I do; the worst of it, is direct others through theatrical demonstrations on how to use the ubiquitous presence of BP stations in our communities, as a means to voice our displeasure toward this horrific spill and the company which has so injured us.

Never once have I called myself a "vigilante." By definition the term is a stretch and a half. The term can be taken to include someone who uses violence, and destruction of property. These are things I am definitely against.

I was able to press the point that Boycotting is our right as citizens, protesting is our right and duty, and that if BP either local or worldwide has a problem with that, tough!

Further, the local proprietors MUST address any lost revenue as a result to BP corporate because this loss is a verifiable, legitimate claim. And Tony Hayward said he would pay these.

Geraldo, agreed with me. I was stopped short of saying another word by this admission because I have seldom heard him say this, not in all the years watching him on television.

Again, wow.

This shows you that FOX and other massive corp media, are tied in with those in power, those in Big Energy, Big War. And their mission is to squash you, and keep you silent should you like the non-flush nail raise your ugly head above the surface of the societal wood.

No matter fight back anyway.

Fuck 'em. Enough is enough.

A Halliburton or BP Inside Job? Others ask the question as well

This just in: other media has finally suggested, or is considering the sabotage angle.

Finally myself, and the NWO worriers (right or wrong), aren't the only ones suggesting the possibility that the Deepwater Horizon blowout may have had its origins in an intentional act of sabotage.

This writer firmly believes that no one INTENDED for the severity of the final event, but someone - counting on our national penchant for crying NIMBY, at the first blush with trouble, and BPs penchant for cutting corners for the almighty greenback - likely was up to shenanigans in order to force us to scuttle domestic sources of oil. This "domestic phase" was President Obama's pragmatic, yet, enviro-dangerous plan for getting off the fossil.

This is my first post regarding this theory, here.

Look at it. The Macondo well, which may be an ongoing crime scene, sits on a massive reservoir of oil. One source puts that mother load at perhaps 46 billion barrels, certainly enough to make an oil executive salivate. This figure may represent two days oil consumption for the United States.

Forcing us back into the sole source Middle East for oil, means lucrative weapons contracts for giants like GE, Lockheed, Boeing and that list goes on down to the ancillary manufacturers. It also provides more work for your troop support groups corps as Halliburton, who performed the cementing job aboard Deepwater Horizon.

Halliburton was Dick Cheney's love child prior to taking the reins as co-president (vice). The lackadaissical meth-doing, lap dancing, legs spread members of the MMS, Minerals Management Service, who were responsible for the oversight of Deepwater Horizon and other offshore drilling leases.

Cheney had a mysterious meeting according to reports, while in office, with top execs from the oil industry that he REFUSES to comment on. IN fact, where the hell is he? No one is saying, and the big media isn't bothered with asking.

Another weird tid-bit is the report that yet another company, Schlumberger, was aboard the Deepwater Horizon just hours before but did not preform a described "gold seal of approval" test on the cement bond capping the well.

Oil-a-vidaville













By David Kearns

Sung to the tune of

Margaritaville

by Jimmy Buffett


Slippin on mud cakes

Watching the sun bake

All of those dead birds covered in oil

Knee deep in muck rings

Covered in Benzenes

My hazmat suit is

beginning to boil


(chorus)

Wasted away again in Oilavidaville

Searchin for my, lost tablet of salt

Some people claim that Tony Hayward’s to blame

But I know, it's partly our fault.


Don’t know the reason

Stayed her all season

Nothing to show but

black- toxic spew

But there’s booms in the water

And they’re all covered with slaughter

And not one person

Is having a clue


Wasted away again in Oilavidaville

Searching for my lost pocket of oil (ahl)

Some people claim that Tony Hayward’s to blame

And I’m thinking

Partly our fault?


We put them in congress

And they went rogue on us

Drill baby dr-llin under the sea

Some bastard got rich again

By killin the pelicans

Those that lsurvived now

can’t even see!

(chorus)


They blew out the rig top

And now the oil it just won’t stop

Gushing on up out of the of the heavenly blue

And now that old bayou

Is slathered in myre, you

Can’t believe what they say

Buddy, nothing is true


Just wasted away again in Oilavidaville

Searching for every, last droplet of oil

Some people claim that Tony Haward’s to blame

And I know, hell yes it’s his fault.


Yes and


Some people claim that Tony Hayward’s to blame

And I am thinking

Oh, it’s all Bp’s fault

Stories and Mother-Fucking Fairy Tales

I have a Cornish Pixy's go-cart on my shelf. Want to see it?

I can eject gold Dubloons from my backside. Would you like one?

How about a diamond instead?

In a former life, my name was Zphendor, that's pronounced like END-ore. I lived on the planet Nahbesh, with my lithe fertile queen who, through sturdy, repeated copulations with me, brought into our world many fine sons. They each had a single eye like their mother's.

Oh, and, in case you were wondering, BP announced they are collecting literally thousands and thousands of gallons of oil from that papier mache looking device they've fitted over the 21 inch riser pipe.

Be not alarmed in the fact that this thing, whatever Christ-fuck, it is, continues to belch and billow black bile around the edges like a busted sewer main in downtown Manhattan on a bad day.

Be not suspicious in the fact BP was issuing nonsense almost immediately concerning the fact the riser would somehow miraculously - against known principals of hydraulics, fluid dynamics, common sense - begin to gush MORE effluent into the sea, merely because the riser pipe that had fallen over was now gone from the scene.

Ask not this question "Genius, explain how the oil reservoir down deep in earth's bowel, and stuffed with billions of gallons, begins pushing MORE volume up an 18k foot shaft, simply because you tore away a 5k foot section of pipe?"

Be not suspicious of the fact that now, since this contraption, whatever in bleeding fuck they are calling it these days, is now over the end of the 21 inch pipe, no one can get a clear view of said pipe to adequately calculate the flow rate.

Nevermind that the paramecium-brained members of the media have not thought to ask for a "hold up" just a minute, at the very crucial and potentially revealing moment of said liberation of severed riser pipe, sans contraption, to better get an idea precisely how much oil was flowing, so as to multiply this huge figure by the number of days that have stretched like eons into the dim distant past so that we all can better understand, precisely, or even ballpark, how much black goo is out there.

Be not the least bit alarmed that fucking - JESUS-WEPT - NO ONE is asking this very salient question.

But we do know Tony Fucking Hayward and co. have purchased the word "oil" from Google as a search term. So that now, when even you attempt to go to the internet to make some sense of all this, you are directed to BP's dog-barfing homepage.

Cheers!

The Word is Getting out on Boycott


Here we are, now world famous Stanley Morton III is interviewed by the BBC World News

Speaking of the British. You know sometimes I have to wonder if there is something to this reincarnation business. Here is a little something on Captain Charles Boycott, the Land Agent for Lord Erne in County Mayo, Ireland. An infamous Englishman for whom, the term Boycott is named.

A skin-flinting, pernicious, notorious rent racker who had a penchant for seriously pissing off labor in the community, Boycott was ostracized by the local Irishry. They wouldn't tend LordErne's fields, work in his house, nothing. They simply would not interact. No matter what he was paying. He had dispossessed too many families of their homes and farms; had abused too many local workers on behalf of his absentee landlord.

There are stories in county Mayo of the last day Boycott spent in Ireland, not even able to be tended to in roadside pubs and eateries as he left the country with his family. No one along the way would so much as accept a farthing from him, or his retainers.

It made worldwide news. The idea that someone from the gentry could be reduced, run out, hobbled, humbled and humiliated by the worker class, by them simply not interacting with him, simply not participating in any shape form or fashion.

Tony Hayward is Charles Boycott: he is quite simply, begging for it. He has said "I want my life back" to the very people whose livelihoods have been destroyed because of this growing oil gusher. His complete contempt for us is only underscored by his sickening advertisements where he feigns, only half-heartly, that he is concerned for our country, for the marshes, for the millions of organisms now suffering and dying because of his company's negligence or worse.

The well still has not been shut off!

Gas prices are coming down as battle continues.

BP has no intention of shutting off the flow

That's right!
Every decision they have made has been based on what?
Right, the Almighty Balance Sheet.
Why continue using a harmful dispersant?Because it can hide the volume of oil spilled, which ties into the potential fine assessed.
Why say something like "the environmental impact will be modest?"Because you want to pacify people into looking away, so they don't know the extent of the devastation. So they don't boycott.
What a joy it must be to live in such a simple world, all choices made for you by the ABS.
So, why, why, why in huh-HELL! would BP plug up this well, before a side drill could save it?
Ninety-nine decisions, small and large, leading us to this moment. At the last, that very last decision before total enviro-holocaust, the cold, calculating CEO and his team decide, "you know what? It's time to do the right thing and plug this hole, even if that means drilling another expensive well later to get to precisely where we are today."
(Music rises here.)
"Even if it means we lose a billion dollars, or fifteen, on the lost chance to recapture this reservoir."
And the music fades out. We cut to commercial.
(snap snap)
Wakey wakey, Sunshine!
Do you believe that cartload of horse-shit? Did you watch too many ABC After School Specials growing up?
You must have.
What you are viewing or hearing about, from your Top Hat, Top Kill, Hot Tap, Junk Shot, Dome - this litany of vaguely pornographic terms - is nothing more than stage drama, designed to divert your attention.
It's like the serial killer helping detectives "find" the bodies, but, he takes his time, misdirects the detectives so his accomplice, another even more dangerous killer, can get away.
Is there a sense of urgency?
Who are these people behind him on computers? Is this a NASA command center? Is this a moon landing?
He continues to use the words "professional" and "extraordinary".
The man must think none of us have anything in the way of education.
There is nothing professional about what has happened. Nothing.
The only extraordinary thing they are doing is parsing their legalese and covering their asses.
The thing that strikes me most extraordinary about all this is the notion people still believe the criminal will make everything whole again - he's almost there, almost capped it - if we just give him a little bit more time.
