We all know that there is a big huge seeping oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. We know that the United States government is doing what it can to clean it up and to get the leak shut down. We also know that BP is putting on quite a show of trying to stop the oil spill from getting bigger.

What you might not know is that there has been some success. BP got their LMRP cap on top of the leaking pipe a mile down underwater. They designed the cap with a bunch of holes or slits in its side so that when they put it on it would not burst under the pressure. Now, the oil is, of course, leaking out of these holes. BP is now closing these holes one by one. This will enable them to keep the cap from bursting if there is too much pressure.

The LMRP cap allows oil to flow through a pipe up to the surface and into a waiting ship. BP is getting a little over 1,000 barrels of oil through this cap. The rest - at least 18,000 barrels by federal estimate - is still flowing into the Gulf. It is hoped that by the time all the holes on the cap are closed only a very small amount of oil can escape to flow into the Gulf while the two relief wells are drilled.

The cap was not designed to be the solution to the leak, rather, it was designed to contain the leak while the more permanent relief wells are being drilled. The relief wells are scheduled to finish in August so BP needed a way to contain most of the oil from leaking into the Gulf until then.

It is good to know that there is a solution for the leaking well and that it is in place and is working fine so far. Now, what remains to be done is the clean up of the millions of gallons of oil that are already in the Gulf and on the beaches. This is probably the hardest part of the whole spill.

As our President, Barack Obama says, "That’s why from the beginning, we’ve mobilized on every front to contain and clean up this spill.  I’ve authorized the deployment of 17,500 National Guard troops to aid in the response.  More than 20,000 people are currently working around the clock to protect waters and coastlines.  We’ve convened hundreds of top scientists and engineers from around the world.  More than 1,900 vessels are in the Gulf assisting in the clean up.  More than 4.3 million feet of boom have been deployed with another 2.9 million feet of boom available – enough to stretch over 1,300 miles.  And 17 staging areas are in place across Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida to rapidly defend sensitive shorelines.  In short, this is the largest response to an environmental disaster of this kind in the history of our country."

This means that the Obama Administration is serious about getting this spill cleaned up and getting the peoples' lives back.

  1. Stop Gulf Oil Flow-Ecological and Economic Genocide?
    It is a timeless struggle, the battle between good and evil and the balancing of the Yen and the Yang.
    Democracy and Freedom are a gift from the Gods; governance for and by the people; one citizen, one vote. With it humans can advance and evolve society into an age of humanitarianism, science and live in harmony with Earth.
    Enlightenment is the good things in life that humans universally share and it is true that you can find good people in every society around the World.
    Evil forces are Totalitarians who have no respect for other humans or the World they live in. This evil minority is subhuman and will drive humanity back into the dark ages.
    They are evil and powerful and as you know, much human suffering occurs during their reign. When we talk of (world government and control) the struggle for good and freedom takes hundreds of years of struggle and millions of lives to get society back on the “good” path.
    Hell! Today, the people may never be in control again and the Totalitarian bastards will destroy the World with their evil ways (with World power).
    This brings us around to the current ecological and economic genocide in the US and solutions to stop the out of control oil flow in the Gulf.
    Of course, before you can come up with solutions to a problem a person must know the full extent of the damage. How can you do that when all you get from BP and the government is lies? For instance, the wellhead and bore hole are fractured deep into the bore hole. If you seal the top of the BOP the oil will simply flow out of the burst pipe below it. BP and our government have been covering-up that fact.
    The report of another well head leak and larger cracks in the sea floor is also kept hidden from the public. The US will not even send their own submersible down to survey the other cracks in the sea floor; some are 8 miles from the blown-out well that BP is stalling on.
    BP and our government are lying to the American people about the full extent of the damage. It is as if BP and the government have their own plans for genocide and World Government and the oil spill is an attack against the American People.
    The degree of stupidity, propaganda and Treason is amazing and they have convinced everyone there is nothing anyone can do; that is unadulterated BS!
    The oil flow could have been stopped a month ago using known deep water pile driving technology. A simple solution is to lower a 4’ pipe over the BOP and the bore hole and than drive the pile 200 feet into the sea floor permanently sealing off all of the oil flow. The pipe can then be sealed with concrete and cut off far below the water line. Eventually, this is how the oil flow will be stopped next year or 10 years from now.
    Please do not whine that if BP and the government could stop the flow of oil, they would; you are just buying into the propaganda and lies! This is an ecological and economic genocide and Americans are so brainwashed and propagandized they do not know it!
    It is obvious after examining the facts, that BP, World Banksters and our government are on their own itinerary of implementing world governance and destroying our Democracy and Independence; all for our own good of course!

  2. Uhh, have you taken a look at the live video feeds as of tonight?

    You call this success? Try to get your facts in order before you start throwing around the word "success."

  3. Everyone from BP needs a bullet through their heads for this one!!

  4. I'm sorry if I upset you, it is despite the feeds, a minor success or if you don't wish to call it that, a small step in the overall right direction. I understand your concern as I live in Florida near the coast so I am as well anxious to get the oil cleaned up and the leak "plugged".
