Gene's Footnotes

I have never been impressed by the messenger and always inspect the message, which I now understand is not the norm. People prefer to filter out discordant information. As such, I am frequently confronted with, "Where did you hear that...." Well, here you go. If you want an email version, send me an email.

Gulf Hypothesis: Methane, Tsunami, Atmospheric Explosion, World Impact

As much as 1 million times the normal level of methane gas has been found in some regions near the Gulf of Mexico oil spill enough to potentially deplete oxygen and create a dead zone. Greg and I talked on the phone for a good hour the other night working from some deductions he made. I will skip the chit chat and get to the topic.

(No I won't.  If you can't bother reading the most important story in your life, then drop to No. 7)

The working theory is that "we" have stumbled on the mother of all methane reserves (see below for a hearsay reference in video to a 20 mile bulge in the sea bottom).  It has long been known that below sea bottom, there is more energy that we could ever use in the form of methane crystals, being held there by incredible pressure. This is not conjecture. The fear has always been a release of the pressure, a gas forms and rockets to the surface.

Simply, during the best case scenario that we have opened a methane bubble to the surface, we are looking at REAL hot-house gases, poison, a dead Gulf, the alteration of the ph of drinking water and deposition of dangerous gases, even here in upstate New York.  Now, a really big eruption of gas can create a condition where the atmosphere could easily explode.  (Again, this is projected, not conjectured.)

Now, a crack in the crust, could release a bubble so large and fast as to cause a tsunami - after the gas hits the shore.  This VIDEO theorizes the methane comes after the tsunami.  We are talking zero survival along the coast and a hell for the rest of us. Florida would disappear for a while.  The crazy survivalists may don gas masks and hold up in their shelters, but what will they see upon coming out?

This theory may well be wrong, but consider:

1.  The coast guard has sealed off the Gulf.  Even CNN was blocked from filming on the beach. There is a no-fly zone over the Gulf. This media bar is unheard of in the U.S.

2.  The administration, whatever you want to call them, is a far left operation with a bill in Congress that would benefit no end to 24/7 coverage of an oil disaster - yet there is a cover up. It is a crime to film in more of the coastal area.

Mr. Obama may be in the curious position of silencing a great story for his green take over, but if it were announced that we faced a wipe out of the Gulf, well, the economy becomes an after thought. The Gulf becomes denuded. (Imagine if something happens, now Obama will have to find a plane to Cuba. His only hope is engineers control the effluent and the crisis, if any, goes away for awhile.) 

3.  One massive, deep water rig has already left the area and others are planning to do so - these puppies are already pulling oil; yet, they will shut down and go.  You think being scared of Obama would be doing this?  Two months before a GOP landslide?

4.  I haven't really seen an oil catastrophe on the beaches, as yet.  Seems odd if we are talking about oil.  Where's the oil?

5.  Why is it that the fail-safe valves didn't work even though they have a nearly perfect history?  Indeed, why did the eruption occur and subsequent capping attempts fail.? The engineers working on this are not stupid, as the media would venture.  Why was foreign help denied? It could be stupidity, but maybe not in the face of an economic panic. It is submitted the volume and power of what is happening was never anticipated.

6. Coast to Coast interview:  there is a 20 mile uplift of the sea floor, a methane bubble. Discusses catastrophe.  Please ignore George Noory's insipidness. "Gee, that would be bad." The interviewee mentioned 100,000 psi as being the unexpected pressure.  This is just some guy reporting on "inside sources" but Greg thinks 20,000 psi more than troublesome. The final entry, and there could be many more, puts aside much conjecture.

Methane in Gulf ‘astonishingly high’-US scientist (Reuters)


As much as 1 million times the normal level of methane gas has been found in some regions near the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, enough to potentially deplete oxygen and create a dead zone, U.S. scientists said on Tuesday.

Texas A&M University oceanography professor John Kessler, just back from a 10-day research expedition near the BP Plc (BP.L) oil spill in the gulf, says methane gas levels in some areas are "astonishingly high."...

This degree of  methane will ultimate kill live in the Gulf except for bacteria that like methane.
