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.

WTTW 1: Word To The Wise

I sometimes publish short blogs just for fun but have not been a constant email buddy, thinking I ought to make a living.  This time, however, I offer this information, but not for fun. The email will have the embedded link which probably won't work, so you can visit the blog.

We have trouble:

Pensacola Florida:  One man on his beach filming the "bubbling" ocean. ("God help us all")

Airborne Benzine:  The air analysis reports of the Gulf region are not public.  Latest figure from TV station in Alabama was over 3,000 parts per billion; the "safe" level is 4.

Oil Plumes suggest multi fractures, suggests oil is not our major concern, as found in an interview below.  Listen, don't judge the messenger:




In the interview, Williams cites an EPA report and gives the numbers.  For our purposes, note that the safe values of benzine, a highly toxic item, is 0 to 4 parts per billion, is it now over 3,000.   Hydrogen sulfide - levels allowed are 5 - 10 parts per billion, the recent tests are 1,200 parts per billions; methylene chloride is sage at 61 parts per billion, now 3,000 to 3,400 parts per billion. Let's just say this is wicked bad stuff.

As noted previously, methane is 1,000,000 times greater than normal in the sea, as a university Texas researcher reported.

These items are flammable and deadly and will circle the world.  A hurricane can bring a massive health problem up the East Coast.

You may take offense at the interview show, as it is most assuredly distrustful of the government, but take my motto to heart:  listen to the message, don't judge the messenger. For my part, I see a massive array of information on the net, little directly from the government - which has a no-fly zone set up over the Gulf and has made it a felony to report from the beaches or on the water.  CNN is the one complaining here. You figure it out.

If any of this is true, we will see an economic collapse and a health crisis, using the word "crisis" as it was originally meant. As you know, I have been very concerned with the false economy we live in and am waiting for the other shoe to drop, then the closet to fall, but this is an external tribulation of Biblical proportions - which makes it hard to accept.

If I lived near the Gulf, I would have have already moved;  you may want to let anyone you know it is time to go. As odd as it may seem, a gas mask around here is probably a good investment. Save clean water.

If this scenario plays out:  time is not short, it is gone. Can we assume things will always be fine?

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.
