BP disaster started in February?

Until this week, the general impression of the Deepwater Horizon blowout in the Gulf has been that the explosion took everyone by surprise, and that neither BP nor a dysfunctional MMS had any idea that the well had reached a critical stage. Two days ago, however, Bloomberg reported that both BP and MMS were well aware of the high risk of a blowout at that particular well. BP and its subcontractor Transocean had in fact been fighting against a blowout for over two months, and MMS was well aware of the situation:

CHART OF THE DAY: Here's Why Politicians Are Falling Over Themselves To Skewer BP Right Now

You knew BP was a hot issue right now, but not this much. Pew research did a survey and the results are astounding -- 59% of Americans are following the BP oil leak story (shown in the top blue bar below), which blows away the tiny 8% of Americans who care about the economy.

The economy is a tough nut to crack, it's hard to say anything without making somebody angry. So if you're a politician looking to grab some positive mindshare, Pew makes the decision obvious -- Skewer BP as visibly as you can, and you've attached yourself to the hottest issue by far in people's head.

Who cares about the economy the right now. If you as a politician are going to go there, then you might as well start talking about the NBA finals too:

>>>> "All of us concerned BPers (yes, there are many) are talking that something or someone was at the bop and either deliberately caused the blowout or made a grave error that caused the bop to malfunction when the inevitable blowout happened.

Everyone here is talking about it but no one dare say anything to anyone even their families.

There's also something happening about 100 miles southeast of the rig site with several navy and uscg ships. And Friday two serious looking guys arrive and started directing our sup. Apparently they showed Navy Intelligence ID when they arrived along with a dozen commando looking guys."

Today, in one of the BP oil spill threads, a freeper brought up a very interesting enigma, to wit: With CUBA so very close to the rig explosion, with so much oil in the Gulf of Mexico.... WHY is Castro silent about it?????

Peculiar, hey?

Thanks for the links Ernest. Think I’ll read them tomorrow, don’t want to have nightmares, lol.

Excellent points, imho.

Thx thx.

QUITE SO. QUITE SO.

HOWEVER, it is increasingly seeming inescapable to me

that BP

has been thickly directed by these folks:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/2519352/posts?page=2#2

For a very long time.

I still don’t trust a shred of what the government or BP is saying about it.

And what they are NOT saying is virtually wholesale worse.

Then there’s the whole North Korean allegation and the NK ship being within range etc. etc. etc.

Sounds like there’s plenty of skull duggary to go around.

THANKS JIM!

Things are getting stranger and stranger as these blokes

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/2519352/posts?page=2#2

seemingly enjoy flexing their tyrannical globalist = communist = socialist power-mongering under OThuga as much as they can brazenly get away with . . .

. . . which seems to be a rapidly increasing amount.

It almost seems like they are . . . how to put it . . .

luxuriating in tyrannically greedily trashing all they can trash and capitalizing on all the suffering they can capitalize on as long as they can get away with it.

It’s almost like looters looting a few days or weeks before the riot really breaks out.

THE TRAITOROUS MURDEROUS, SUICIDAL, GREEDY BUSTARDS. Lord, God, May they fall speedily in the pits they seem to be digging everywhere for the rest of us.

What do they know that we don’t?

Here you go with new links. I'm surprised that these articles haven't been scrubbed from the web yet. However, it is funny how this is the second time the links have been changed.

You really can't take anything at face value anymore with all of the propaganda and deception going on right now. BP is voluntarily being used as the whipping boy to promote the underlying agenda. Can’t let a crisis go to waste you know.

Bloomberg is reporting that, from information submitted by BP to the Mining and Mineral Services (MMS), that BP was aware of cracks in the well at least since February, 2010.

BP has been at the forefront of lobbying for cap and trade legislation.

BP CEO Tony Hayward sold £1.4 million of his shares in BP weeks before the spill as reported by the Telegraph. Ironically, Goldman Sachs divested 44% of its shares in BP Oil during the first quarter of 2010. Could it be mere coincidence that the former chairman of BP, Peter Sutherland, is the current chairman of Goldman Sachs?

Right, nothing to see here, move along.

It's high time the American people wake up to the criminal element running this country and the world, who have puppets on BOTH sides of the aisle.

I'm skeptical that

March 10, 2009 – BP submits an Initial Exploration Plan to MMS for its Macondo well

April 6, 2009 – Obama Administration issues permit for Macondo well

Gee, it took less than half the time to approve that permit than it took to grant Gov. Jindal permission to protect his own shoreline with sand barriers.
