Wolf Blitzer: “Billion potential barrels of oil” under BP well; “Could really explode” expert says
Florida Oil Spill AW ^ | June 17, 2010 | jackie

Posted on 06/17/2010 3:47:13 AM PDT by jackietree

CNN’s first mention of concerns about the structural integrity of BP’s blown-out well occurred on the June 16 edition of the Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, during an interview with a member of the government’s Flow Rate Technical Group, Professor Steven Wereley.

Blitzer described a conversation he had with an expert who said, “They’re still really concerned about the structural base of this whole operation.” “This thing could really explode,” added Blitzer, “And they’re sitting, what, on — on a billion potential barrels of oil.”

Wereley responded, “I’ve heard concerns about the structural integrity of the well.” More precisely, the structural concerns were if “the casing of the well is — is faulty at some point.”

And here's a nugget to mull over

First there's a mega disaster portrayed on tv about a disaster in NYC that destroys big buildings. Then there's another one about a hurricane in the Gulf that goes up the center of New Orleans and takes it out. Now apparently there was a show on methane blowing up. What the H is going on, coincidence? Sure

Would be nice.

Won’t likely happen. If happens, won’t result in much.

The die is cast.

Globalists will have their 3.5-7 years of horrific tyranny, terror, death and destruction . . .

Thankfully, God will also have many surprises on behalf of His Kingdom during the same time.

What’s going on with the movies etc?

I have a hunch . . .

The globalists know what they have planned, in the works, are going to stage.

Their boss, satan,

LOVES TO CRANK UP THE FEAR AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

Doing so thrills him and hinders Christians.

It also helps increase chaos and dysfunction when things begin to come to pass.

Also, it helps train humans

to put MORE FAITH

INTO FEAR

THAN INTO GOD’S CAPACITY TO PROTECT AND PROVIDE REGARDLESS.

Then as the staged events begin to come to pass . . . the increased chaos, dysfunction, destruction etc. multiplies more than it would have without so much fear lubricating all the chaos and destruction.

I wouldn't have believed it myself, until one night I was watching the movie Men in Black, and there was a scene with Al Gore's friend, Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith in front of the twin towers, and Jones gives a short speech about how most of America has no clue about the truth of the world. Made a believer out of me. I don't know if they have scrubbed the scene now, but it was there

Interesting.

There’s also a theory

that the globalist powers that be

love to

arrogantly give clues ahead of time to what they are going to do . . .

just to proudly lord it over the ‘ignorant, dumb sheeple.’

What You Aren’t Being Told About The World You Live In

by Sorcha Faal

Now about Sorcha...we have this:

Sorcha Faal

********************************EXCERPT**********************************

Posturing as a scientists associated with the Russian Academy of Science, this newcomer raised many eyebrows:

Who is Sorcha Faal? It seems this person has appeared out of nowhere and is now issuing all of this information forth from David Booth's web site. (whatdoesitmean.com) Who is he/she? Has he/she been around for a while and I just missed it? Is he/she connected with indiadaily.com?
http://www.surfingtheapocalypse.net/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=46515

And from another:

A search of the Russian Academy of Sciences website for Sorcha Faal brings up "not found".
http://www.surfingtheapocalypse.net/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=47219

And from another:

This quote below is from the WhatDoesItMean web site. I e-mailed her a couple of weeks ago for her credentials and requested links to previous articles that she supposedly wrote ... never heard back. I have searched high and low on the web for over two weeks and can't find anything about her...
http://www.surfingtheapocalypse.net/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=46601

Sorcha Faal is an International Researcher and Author who goes beyond the simple explanations used to explain today’s issues. “Life is meant to be more than accepting our world as separate pieces; everyone must see the interconnectedness of everything.” She is fond of saying. As a child growing up in St. Petersburg, Russia, Sorcha’s life mirrored others of her generation in experiencing in education and life an experience of freedom, thought and religion not known to her parents or grandparents. Seeing that many prominent, and esteemed, Russian researchers, and their works, are not only undervalued in Western countries but also practically unknown, Sorcha has devoted herself to providing a bridge to the world for those ideas and thoughts previously unknown. Utilizing her skills in engineering and intelligence analysis she provides to the reader a unique approach to understanding this world of ours in the areas of current political, astronomical, earth sciences and medical events. To enable this effort of education leading to greater understanding between all the peoples of the world she has acquired the management position of the American, Canadian and British website, WhatDoesItMean.Com. As the head editor Sorcha will continue to bring forward the news of the day in a context that shows the interconnectedness of all the worlds’ peoples. Momentous changes are occurring on almost a daily basis to our world and what is missing the most for true comprehension are the contexts to put them into. Without context news stories are just words, and soon forgotten. Sorcha and many others believe that we are entering a Century of great change, not only for our hearts and minds, but perhaps for our very souls also. Like many others also around the world, and from many countries, Sorcha joins the effort to educate as many as possible towards these events so that they will not become surprised, or be led into despair. We thank you for visiting her new website and encourage your thoughts and opinions on any issue of concern. You may write Sorcha directly by sending your comments to her at: sorchafaal@fastmail.fm

And from another:

In the world of academia, in particular the sciences, the cliche is: Publish or perish. If Sorcha has a doctorate, as her title alludes, where is her thesis? Where are any other works that one would normally expect from a "scholar?" Why is there absolutely no evidence of her existence, prior to and aside from the crap at the Booth site?

Sorcha is a fruitcake and anti Christian Luciferian. What she or he, says has nothing to do with anything. 911 was real

Welllllllllllllllllllllllllll, the 3rd or 4th page or so down on this link

sure has some interesting assertions.

Plausible, I suppose. I don’t put much of anything past the NK’s and certainly not past the suicidal tyrannical globalists.

Trying to get a handle on Purdue Prof Steve Wereley....his area of expertise seems rather far away from oil and Geology...paper:

The theory of diffraction-limited resolution in microparticle image velocimetry

Abstract

A theory of diffraction-limited spot size is developed for infinity-corrected microscope optics. Previously reported formulae were originally derived using a single-lens system. In addition, the previously reported relationship between f-number and numerical aperture assumed a paraxial approximation and was limited to air-immersion lenses. Here, a new relationship between f-number and numerical aperture is developed, and is valid for all numerical apertures and all immersion media. In addition, a new theory is developed that estimates the effective numerical aperture of an oil-immersion lens when imaging into fluid of a lower refractive index, such as water. The results indicated that when imaging into water, high numerical aperture NA = 1.0 or 1.2 water-immersion lenses provide comparable and sometimes better diffraction-limited resolution than NA = 1.4 oil-immersion lenses. In addition, when imaging into water, water-immersion lenses may provide superior image quality, because they are corrected for aberrations resulting from the water/glass interface.

You may not be aware of the fact that

my BA program boss over me when I was acting director of the University Library’s Special Collections Dept

. . . my Boss then was and still is a world expert with the best private holdings of pre-Hitler pamphlets, posters, leaflets etc.

I was making fun [SOMEWHAT like you do] of some of the flakey stuff we collected—one of 2 universities in the USA to collect everything from the extreme left to the extreme right.

He exhorted me I was unwise.

He said it was

THE FLAKIEST GROUPS WHO MOST ACCURATELY AND EARLIEST PREDICTED WHAT HITLER WOULD DO AND THE SORT OF PERSON HE WAS.

I’ve studied globalism since 1965. I’ve watched the same phenomenon regarding globalism and a lot of other things.

Pristine high quality sources are often unavailable until decades later.

Well I've been hanging onto this webpage:

Bilderberg 2010: What we have learned

***********************************EXCERPT***********************************

A huge agenda of global issues was crammed into four days of 'secret' meetings by a mysterious group of power brokers. But who elected them and why are we paying for them?

The lines have been drawn. Whose side are you on? The lines have been drawn. Whose side are you on? Photograph: Alex Amengual

Weary and bramble-scratched, elated by the press coverage, and sick of riot vans and lukewarm Spanish omelette baguettes, we return from Bilderberg 2010 with the following thoughts uppermost in our tired mind:

• 'Global cooling' is on the cards

Check out the agenda for Bilderberg 2010: "Financial reform, security, cyber technology, energy, Pakistan, Afghanistan, world food problem, global cooling, social networking, medical science, EU-US relations." That list is a window into your future. Don't think for one minute that it isn't. And don't ignore it, because it isn't ignoring you.

I love how "social networking" must fry the Bilderbergian mind. On the one hand, as Zuckerberg of Facebook says, privacy is no longer a social norm so it's okay to milk the networking sites for information, social trends and dissident thinking; however, you can't stop the people from arranging a meet-up to discuss internet censorship or the rights and wrongs of "global cooling". Speaking of which, Bill Gates (Bilderberg 2010) is funding "cloud whitening" technology; trials start soon. Global dimming isn't just something that happens every time Big Brother starts. On the basis of this agenda, I think we can expect a lot of statements about cutting-edge cloud-technology trials in the next 12 months. If it works in Dubai, it can work in Britain too...

• You can't keep a good story down

One of those methane bubble events would wipe out all kinds of green efforts to reduce carbon emissions. And the video doesn’t blame man for it either.

It doesn’t have anything to do with that video. Carbon tax is a scam, a very expensive one. Part of the watermelon agenda. Green on the outside but red on the inside.

From the many stories:

World’s Elite Prepare For End As Earth Said Ready To Hit ‘Reset’ Once Again

*********************************EXCERPT********************************************

April 9, 2009

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers (Traducción al Español abajo)

A disturbing FSB report on the G-20, NATO and US-EU meetings in Europe involving the leaders of the Western Nations this past week states that on the evening of April 3rd, over 500 of our World’s most elite citizens attended a ‘Black Mass’ at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Strasbourg presided over by Pope Benedict XVI who was secretly flown into France to preside over this most unusual ceremony.

According to these reports, those attending this Black Mass included President Obama and his wife, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, nearly all senior members of Europe’s Royal Houses and the top American and European bankers and corporate leaders. Interesting to note too about those attending this ceremony was the presence of former US Congressional leader Newt Gingrich, who like former Prime Minister Blair made a surprise conversion to Roman Catholicism.

Choosing the location of the Cathedral of Our Lady of Strasbourg for the holding of this Black Mass provides clues as to greater meaning of this ceremony as this majestic edifice was built upon the much older foundations of a temple whose beginnings stretch back into our Earth’s pre-history and dedicated to the ancient goddess Cybele, meaning ‘Mountain Mother’, or in the Greek language, Gaia (the Earth).

During the 7th Century the worship of the Mountain Mother was changed to that of the Virgin Mary of the Christian religion at this ancient location and between the years of 1176-1439 the great cathedral was built and which remained the World’s tallest structure until 1874 and today remains the 6th tallest church of any kind on the whole Earth.

Though ancient in origin, the history of the Black Mass, said in these reports to have been preformed by Pope Benedict XVI in Strasbourg, has its modern beginnings in France beginning during the 16th Century by The Queen of France Catherine de' Medici, and which to this day is known to be the ‘official’ mass of the Vatican and its elite rulers. Important to note is that the signature emblem of the Black Mass is the inverted (upside down) Christian Cross said to mock the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and which has been carved into every Papal Throne since the late 4th Century. [See bottom photo left]

Though the exact rituals preformed by Pope Benedict XVI for these elite leaders remain shrouded in mystery, the reasons for them being done now is not as evidence continues to emerge that our Earth is undergoing the most profound changes in nearly 10,000 years, and which our most ancient myths state are but the beginning of the ending of our present age.

In this past week alone, NASA has reported we are experiencing the “quietest sun we've seen in almost a century”, the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) has warned that the breakaway of a Jamaica-sized ice shelf from the Antarctic peninsula could accelerate global warming, and Australian astronomers are warning that the Death Star Wolf-Rayet 104 could go supernova and wipe out all life on Earth.

While Western scientists continue to view these accelerating events as separate events and occurrences, Russian scientists have long viewed them as homogenous, meaning that one cannot be separated from another but all belong to a greater whole.

Nowhere is this more evident then the West’s refusal to warn their peoples of the findings reported in Russian scientist Dr. Alexey N. Dmitriev’s 1997 scientific treatise PlanetoPhysical State of the Earth and Life, and which in its summary paragraph states:

“Current PlanetoPhysical alterations of the Earth are becoming irreversible. Strong evidence exists that these transformations are being caused by highly charged material and energetic non-uniformity's in anisotropic interstellar space which have broken into the interplanetary area of our Solar System.

This "donation" of energy is producing hybrid processes and excited energy states in all planets, as well as the Sun. Effects here on Earth are to be found in the acceleration of the magnetic pole shift, in the vertical and horizontal ozone content distribution, and in the increased frequency and magnitude of significant catastrophic climatic events. There is growing probability that we are moving into a rapid temperature instability period similar to the one that took place 10,000 years ago.

The adaptive responses of the biosphere, and humanity, to these new conditions may lead to a total global revision of the range of species and life on Earth. It is only through a deep understanding of the fundamental changes taking place in the natural environment surrounding us that politicians, and citizens a like, will be able to achieve balance with the renewing flow of PlanetoPhysical states and processes.”

But, not to protecting their peoples are these Western leaders about as, instead, they seek only to protect and save themselves, and as new reports from the United States and Japan are showing that many of their elite are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars building underground bomb-type shelters to protect them from the many catastrophes that lie ahead of us all, and which was foretold in the Christian Bibles New Testament Book of Luke [23:30], and which says of these End Times these elites would “Then they will begin to say to the mountains, fall on us, and to the hills, cover us.”

To the greatest meaning, however, of all of these events it is this…to each many alone will their survival have to be found as those who rule over them care not at all of the billions soon to die, only themselves. And, in the search for that which may help them survive, those left alone by their leaders must seek above all else the truest information they can find, and which their elite rulers continually deny to these peoples who remain for the greater part totally lost, and even more confused.
