Feel free to copy and past this letter and send it to any news outlet. I sent it to about 1500 emails yesterday, and was able to read most of it on Washington Journal this morning on Cspan. Hopefully it will be a small piece of the truth coming out.
To whom it may concern,
Matthew R. Simmons - Chairman Emeritus of Simmons & Company International was on the Dylan Ratigan show on MSNBC on July 15th making some VERY inflammatory claims about a BP cover up, and possible government cover-up of the true scope of the oil disaster. He just was on [link to kingworldnews.com] , and restated his claims in more detail.
He is calling for "the arrest of BP executives", and stating that there is "a hole spewing 120,000 barrels of oil a day where the 1st BOP use to be". This man is not a fringe character and has been on many main stream media shows during the disaster. His Wikipedia page shows hes a member of the Council On Foreign Relations. Plain and simple he is exposing a massive cover-up by BP, and possibly the government about the real extent of this disaster, or fear mongering to further his/others agenda while calling for the "arrest" of BP executives. The truth is somewhere out there.

Stories and interviews without softballs are crucial to the security and psychology of the United States, his claims need to be proven or disproven.
Sincerely,
Do they really need to “prove or disprove” the contention that there is a 2nd well with a 2nd BOP which blew out?
Is it just that the claim is so far out there that you simply cannot ignore it? Like the BIG lie that is so big you think it must be true?
It never ceases to amaze me how many people believe such a conspiracy could actually be kept silent from any rational observer, while it would somehow be revealed to a nut-job.
I guess if you have to “disprove it”, the “no easy oil found to skim in the last days” is a pretty obvious one. If there was an entire other well spewing oil at 3 times the rate of this one, the oil wouldn’t have gone away just because we capped this one for a week.
It appears the folks at TOD do not think highly of this individual and his rantings.
If I had to pick a single group who has done more to advance the Us toward being a shining trophy above the mantel of anything which could be called The New World Order (AKA GLobal Socialism), the CFR is it. The Communist Party is at least recognized as an enemy and gete routing resistance from part of the population, but the CFR has had it's tendrils in every presidency since Kennedy, with the result that we have pulled punches at the wrong time, made some critical policy errors, and have become progressively closer to being consumed by Global Socialism.
As a CFR member, what little axe might Simmons have to grind?
The continuation of the US as an energy dependent entity?
Further debilitation of the US under Obama?
Enquiring minds want to know, but I'd bet he is up to no good, and the fact he is spewing it on MSNBC does nothing to give me any faith in his credibility.
