A grim report circulating in the Kremlin today written by Russia's Northern Fleet is reporting that...

Okay, so who the heck is Sorcha Faal????? According to abovetopsecret.com, she is both the "queen of internet hoaxers" and "in reality" an American man named David Booth. The following posts are from the abovetopsecret.com website:

Sorcha Faal... Internet Hoax Queen Courtesy of David Booth...

On almost a weekly basis some outrageous claim is made in an ATS thread, and usually the topic is centered on the demise of civilization as we know it. Here are some recent threads that are based on Sorcha Faal's "research" and "insight."

US President Orders Military To Begin Jailing All Civilian Protestors To War

Putin Orders Russian Military Forces To Attack US Forces During Iran Invasion????

Russia, China Order Forces To Highest Alert As US Forces Mass On Iranian Border

US 'Shoot on Site' Order Issued For Escaping Americans

Australia To Imprison All Muslims In Concentration Camps

American Spy Satellite Downed In Peru

‘Ship of Giants’ Said Attacked By Israel in Strike on Syria

The above is a sliver of the threads available on ATS.

There is a common element to these "reports," the "author" Sorcha Faal. Who is "Sorcha Faal" and what is "her" agenda?

Here is some insight:

Our own inquiry:

Sorcha Faal: What's her story?

And my favorite disclaimer regarding Sorcha Faal being used by a website:

Note:. There is no such person as “Sorcha Faal, Russian academic” “Sorcha Faal” is actually David Booth, an American computer programmer “Sorcha” is alleged to be a Russian academic but there is absolutely no record of anyone with such a name in Russian academia. These periodic eruptions have absolutely no basis in any kind of fact or reality and are typical of the nonsense bespangling the internet. These reports, however, have a good deal of entertainment value. This idiocy is almost as funny as the Scientology cult babblings. Ed.

Catastrophic Atmospheric Blast in Southern Hemisphere Continues Global Weather Chaos as North American Plate Instability Increases and US President Orders Massive Troop Withdrawal from New Madrid Fault Zone Region

So why does David Booth/Sorcha Faal perpetrate this fraud? Apparently it is an excellent way to solicit money, and to promote his/her/its book:

'Pick Your Doomsday Scenario Here!" An Analysis of the David Booth Affair

THE DAVID BOOTH AFFAIR - Psyop Extraordinaire!!

David Booth

Sorcha Faal Strikes Again!

Doomsday David Booth - Plagiarist?

And he should be dead now:

As agreed upon by the congregation this final message to humanity would be released only upon the death of David Booth, the last in the line of the ‘messengers’ for the family.

And as our Dear Brother David Booth lies tonight before that doorway of death we release to the world tonight this Final Message from him.

www.greatdreams.com...

But he's not... He's still coming up with hoax after hoax... Most likely using the "Sorcha Faal" moniker because his name has been tied to hoax's, plagiarism and other unsavory undertakings. Why feed David Booth's need to yank on the collective internet user's chain? Why do people drink the Kool-aid and hang on to a particular story's veracity? Is it because it reflects their personal world view, or beliefs? I'm not sure... But I am sure that every time I see a Sorcha Faal article referenced the possibility of "Deny Ignorance" has been greatly reduced regarding that particular topic.

I hope this helps some of the members and guests of ATS understand the true nature of the Sorcha Faal/David Booth viral hoax campaign...

One thing you can guarantee is that if any info comes from "Sorcha Faal/David Booth", it is one hundred percent false!!!!

Should be called the DailyPsycho, rather than DailyPaul... well, now that I think about it, it's about the same thing....

[SkyDancer]

From the news reports it was the well head that blew out and it’s down like 5,000 feet and the explosion was up on the rig part so ...? Here in Washington we’ve had two explosions at a refinery plant in Anacortes over the years ...

[JDW11235]

Thanks for the prompt reply. This all seems too fishy for me, in light of other things. I don’t believe in coincidences. But I have no idea whether this was man caused or not, but I’m willing to defer in judgement to others more knowledgeable. My guts still says this, and the other overturned platform stink.

Thank you for helping, because my mind and gut don’t have to agree, but they have to get along, and it’s worst to make your mind imagine things to prove your guts right. Thanks again, I appreciate it.

Ping to #33. — for a dose of reality...

[rlmorel]

The Free Republic resident expert on energy (IMHO) is Thackney, who made a point of saying this type of thing happens more than we think, but not at this scale.

[Venturer]

I have heard so frigging many government lies, I dont know what to believe.

[mnehring]

Sorcha Faal on a Ron Paul website? The circle is complete..
LOL..

[JDW11235]

I didn’t go to the site, because of the virus warnings, but I don’t believe for a second it would be a nuke. THAT would be very easy to verify. So we definitely agree there.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Yes point taken, and I will freely admit to *zero* technical knowledge in (any) of the following areas of expertise:

Mini-subs
North Korea
Cuba
Oil Drilling

But it sure seems fishy, somehow...

[rodguy911]

Thanks,looks like the entire story is a fariy tale.

[rodguy911]

Ruskies having fun with us....

There are SEVERAL other very large structures in the Gulf, all built by South Korean heavy industry. I won't name them, but North Korean folks bent on sabotage would know where they are.

In my opinion, if the North Koreans had gone to the trouble to sneak past the US Navy into the Gulf of Mexico to attack South Korean-built structures, they would have got their money's worth, and hit several of these structures simultaneously.

[moehoward]

"This was a “bomb plant” in my opinion. Someone got BIG BUCKS from the “Al Gore crowd” to do it."

11 people "missing". I certainly hope someone is looking into the backgrounds of each one.

[calex59]

Actually the plan they have right now is to drill a pressure relief well which will take about 3 months from what I understand. This would be more in line with what the dems want, three months of oil leaking into the gulf, what a chance to end any drilling in the states at all for the next 100 years!

[shadowland]

My understanding is that a gas bubble released from a mile depth expands with tremendous force as it ascends causing a massive explosion from mere decompression causing it to expand so fast.

That appears to be the working assumption. I believe I read that from the AP reports - framed in the context of the speculation of one of the survivors.

Here on the Pacific side of the ocean, at Beale AFB near Marysville, CA, we have a submarine monitoring system called PAV-PAWS. I know it is capable of monitoring subs in the Pacific - whether it could have picked up on a NK sub would be an interesting question. I think the idea that a NK sub could have made that trip undetected is pretty unlikely - but they said the same thing about the Japanese Imperial navy reaching Hawaii undetected in 1941.

[Eagles6]

Interesting though.

[conservativefunhouse]

I work in the oil and gas industry and having talked with a low level Transocean engineer. Their best guess right now is that they hit a gas pocket and the BOP (blow out preventor) did not contain the blast as it is designed to. This could be connected with the fact that allegedly Halliburton was recently at the rig re-casing the hole and there may having problems with their work as this is often the cause of these types of blow outs (keeping in mind they are VERY rare). I know it is tempting to look for a conspiracy here but I really doubt that there is one.

[calex59]

And I don’t think it was nuclear even if it was not an accident. That is too farfetched and easy to confirm or deny via a thousand different ways.

No one has said it was a nuclear explosion, the rumor going around it that they could use a nuke bomb to seal the leak, not that a nuke explosion caused the leak.

[chris_bdba]

The story didn’t say that the bombing was caused by a nuke. It said a torpedo from a North Korean ship. They said to seal it off a small thermonuclear device could be used.
