EPA has a problem with drillers using "brown mud" during well pipe sealing operations ~ they imagine that the "brown mud" might come into contact with some of the petroleum in the well and then contaminate the pristine environment outside the well.

Of course it's the best stuff to use to maintain pressure during sealing so that the well doesn't suffer a major blowout.

Halliburton was advising the BP workers to use "brown mud" and the BP company man, listening to EPA ordered the "brown mud" out and to instead use sea water.

The well then blew out.

Later on EPA said that the US couldn't use the oil skimmers the Dutch provided because, alas, they pumped "contaminated" water back into the Gulf. They preferred to allow 100% of the oil to contaminate the Gulf than to skim off 95% of it.

Now, this.

Someone in the government hierarchy wants to make this blowout as damaging as possible. We need to find out precisely who that person is.

I don't know about you, but if there was some shady character running around that gave 10 billion u.S. tax dollars to Brazil to develop offshore drilling operations in a new field with a company that had been bought by George Soros just three days before and is now snapping up the drilling rigs leaving the Gulf, well I would be mighty damn suspicious.

Can anyone thing of such a person?

Who is that person?

Obama. No joke.

You mean someone else besides "the one" that gave the prime time speech the other night?

Good work pinpointing the bureaucratic link to the physical sabotage mechanism. I was wondering how the whole thing was implemented.

So now, assuming a major oil/"carbon" disaster was desired to shove through captrade, we have 1) knowledge of massive drilling pressures in gulf oil drilling; and 2) the bureaucratic mechanism necessary to unleash those pressures in the name of "protecting the environment."

It fits how they think - they love to make the assassin the bodyguard. It gives these sadistic morons shivers to contemplate how brilliant they believe such a cover story is.

It would not surprise me one iota if this whole spill was caused by the EPA trying to shakedown BP for funds via fines. They were probably hoping BP would use the safe (anti-regulation) way in order to wave their finger and hand over a bill. With a blowout, they create an anti-oil backlash. It's a win-win, as long as they stay quiet. (And I certainly haven't heard mention of the EPA ever since this happened. Odd, eh?) My personal experience with the EPA-holes goes back to Kuwait, where they made us use dry-sweep and scoop up even the smallest oil spill so that we didn't "contaminate the water table."

They really didn't appreciate me telling them "It's just trying to go home."
