A
horrible scenario is shaping up in the Gulf of Mexico, which could
easily allow a chain of events to unfold, which may quickly become an
extinction level disaster. This article will attempt to explain and link
together all the aspects and events that have led up to this point. The
subjects involved are numerous, including the usage of Hydraulic
Fracturing, and where it’s gases are stored once recovered, and it's
connection to the Louisiana sinkhole; how the ‘fracking” is
de-stabilizing the North American craton plate, and how all of it is
connected to the recent BP Gulf Oil Spill. Bear with me, while we go on a
journey of discovery that will leave you chilled to the bone about the
future of not only the Gulf of Mexico, but of the United States and
beyond.
“Slick
water hydraulic fracturing or “fracking” is a technology used to
extract natural gas, and oil, that lies within a shale rock formation
thousands of feet beneath the earth’s surface.
Combined
with another technique called “horizontal drilling,” natural gas
companies are able to drill previously untapped reserves.
Industry
says the process is safe and does not pollute drinking water supplies.
But a growing movement of environmentalists, scientists and residents
worry that the chemicals used in the fracking process will leak into
aquifers. Wastewater from the process returns to the surface
contaminated with some of those chemicals, as well as buried salts and
naturally occurring radioactive material. That wastewater needs to be
treated, or buried deep in the earth using underground injection wells.”

Hydraulic Fracturing is occurring all along the North American Craton Plate. What is a craton?
“North America’s
saga began over four billion years ago, when fragments of continental
crust first formed. Some of these fragments coalesced into
microcontinents, which later collided to assemble the craton — the heart
of North America. Plate tectonics has since enlarged this craton, and sediment has blanketed much of it, obscuring its eventful origins.”
Since so
much and so many gases are recovered by “Fracking”, and so as to not
glut the markets, they are then stored in the Gulf Coastal Salt Domes.
Billions of tonnes of flammable gases, such as butane, methane, natural
gas, benzene, and in some reports, possibly radioactive spent fuel rods
from nuclear power plants.
Everywhere ‘Fracking” occurs there are also earthquakes of varying strengths.
All known 'INTERIOR QUAKES' that are taking place in the U.S. recently,
are all occurring along the North American Craton Plate, which if you
look at a map of “fracking sites”, coincidentally are located at the
edges of the North American craton and where the quakes are being
reported by USGS.
The
craton is moving South and West. This craton plate is under incredible
pressure by the Pacific Plate moving roughly East-Northward, as
evidenced by its last hard movement or ‘slip’, which took place in 1811
and 1812. This was the largest earthquake ever to hit this continent in
modern times, an 8.9 or 9.8 magnitude, (depending upon the source),
along the New Madrid Fault Zone. So powerful it was, a sink hole was
created and the Mississippi River flowed backwards to fill it, to create Reelfoot Lake in North West Tennessee, and rang Church bells in Boston. These quakes lasted for five months of constant after shocks.
Everywhere
Fracking takes place, a loss of gas occurs and liquid is pumped back
in, and that is along the edges of the North American craton plate,
essentially acting as a lubricant underneath the plate. This greatly
increases the chances of another great ‘Slip’ dramatically.
Keep this information in the back of your mind, as I attempt to explain the next Act in this Sordid Saga.
Everyone remembers the BP Oil Spill in the Gulf which occurred on April 20th, 2010,
also known as the “Deepwater Horizon” incident that killed 11 platform
workers. As bad as this was, it was truly a continuing problem that
dated as far back as the 1940’s.
“There
are more than 27,000 abandoned oil wells in the Gulf of Mexico from a
host of companies including BP, according to an investigation by
Associated Press, which describes the area as 'an environmental
minefield that has been ignored for decades'. Some of them date back to
the 1940s. State officials estimate that tens of thousands of them are
badly sealed.”
Abandoned oil wells make Gulf of Mexico 'environmental minefield'
Although
the evidence is circumstantial, in the least, Exxon Mobil has provided
us with the proof that the Methane seeps and propagation zones extend
from the Macondo Wellhead blow out sites as well as the other wellheads
that have shown 10,000 to 100,000 times the amount of Methane saturation
in the Gulf since the Macondo blowout in 2010 leads straight to the
Napoleonville Salt Dome.
If you will scroll to page 28 of the
following PDF, then you shall see the migration zone that terminates
roughly 10 miles North of Bayou Corne. It is therefor logical to assume
that the Methane pressures have risen to such a rate that all along the
"Yellow Zone" on page 28 and the graphics on page 31 explains the
sinkhole effect, and the enormous pressures involved. Crude oil will
soon follow and I fear it has already filled due to the breach on the
western wall. If the drilling keeps up next to the Eastern walls by the
Australian Drilling Operations....then a total collapse of the Eastern
wall is a very high probability. Pressurized Methane Gas is the
precursor of liquid oil migrating through the Yellow Seep Zone. I
personally see no way to stem or stop this. This is an environmental
disaster that will in one way or the other impact and empty all of the
surrounding areas in the years to come. Most of the Gulf is in extreme
danger!

The mouth
of the Gulf of Mexico is collapsing at the gullet of the Mississippi
River. When you take out heavy fluids from cracks, fissures, and
reservoirs, and do not replace something of equal density, then logic
tells you it will fail. This has been the oil industry's dirtiest
secret, and one you have been lied to about since you were a child. The
oil industry would have you believe that you can get something for
nothing, and never have to put anything back.
The Govt. knew these Salt Domes were not geologically stable in 1998 and that they inter-mixed with the ground water table!
Back in
2001, BP applied for the license to drill for oil at MC 252 and MC 296.
They also applied for exceptions. MC 296 is between two salt domes. It
is explained fully in the videos below. With every seismic event that
has occurred along the Craton plate, there is a report of oil leaking in
4 and up to 11 mile slicks spotted near Macondo in 2011 and 2012. Yes,
the BP Oil Disaster Site. Over the top of two Salt Domes and which had
drilled down into the seabed and also gave an outlet to the frozen
methane 'ice' below.
Also the
US Navy commissioned NOAA to create a 3-D map of the whole GOM. This
survey shows the massive amount of frozen methane under the Gulf.
Scientists also recently found that 2.5 gigatonnes resides in the sea
floor mud:
Ignore
the Global Warming propaganda but understand that methane (natural gas)
is highly flammable. But, there are also unexploded munitions also
scattered all over the Gulf and one of the dump sites has been
identified as being within a few miles of the Macondo Drill sites.
Thousands of Bombs Dumped in Gulf of Mexico Pose Huge Threat to Oil Rigs
Now, at
the same time, Salt Domes on land are used to store millions of tonnes
of liquid Butane, Methane, (natural gas), oil, benzene, and radioactive
wastes and by-products. Over 12 of these domes have been identified
within the Bayou Corne Parish in Louisiana alone, not to mention the Grand, and Assumption areas.
Bayou
Corne Parish is the location of the 1 by 3 mile Texas Brine, LLC.’s
Napoleonville Salt Dome-become-sinkhole containing methane and oil, next
to a 1.5 million barrel reservoir of butane only a half mile below
ground and 1600 ft. away from the ever widening sinkhole, with 11 more
Salt Domes identified in the general area. Has the butane holding area
also been breached by the seismic activity reported continually over the
last six months?
This disaster was actually perpetrated by Texas Brine Company, LLC, (a Bayer Co. subsidiary), over
a year ago while attempting to expand the storage capabilities of the
Oxy Geismar No. 3 cavern at Napoleonville and breached the Methane
Holding Dome, which the collapse of, created the sinkhole and is venting
as far as 20-30 miles away, as evidenced by bubbles coming to the
surface of the surrounding bayou’s, not to mention the seismic activity
reported as far a 45 miles away.
Also, the Vacherie Dome near Minden, Louisiana is a Salt Dome facility in use. But not only are explosive gases housed there, but also nuclear waste, (unconfirmed).
Anyone remember the 11 Blasts that woke people from their beds Monday, October 15, 2012 in 3 States? It is claimed to have been an explosion at the munitions dump at the old Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant outside Minden.
But if
you look at the damage site from a flyover, then you immediately know
that 11 blasts felt in 3 States cannot have occurred underground
exclusively.
No way
was the force of this explosion promulgated over three states. Most of
this was an above ground ignition. What you are looking at is the
blasting cap that ignited methane, butane, and who knows what else that
has accumulated into the atmosphere of the surrounding area. It is
highly probable that this is caused by venting from the Vacherie
Dome, the Minden Dome, or even the Bistineau Salt Domes in Webster
Parish, La. These Domes are identified in the Aquifer Survey performed
by the USGS.
It is not
beyond belief that a meteorite may have ignited these gases, but I
don't buy it. It is much more likely it's an intentional "Blast Off" of
radiant materials out-gassing. I would be very interested if an EPA air
study of the surrounding area and atmosphere were carried out now, that
is, if the EPA would even release such a report if done.
Here is an Air Quality Report for Bayou Corne, though.
Now, let's put all these things together, just for the sake of argument.
One day a
year ago, Texas Brine punctures the Napoleonville Salt Dome, followed
by small earthquakes ignored by local and State officials.
Then a
gigantic sinkhole opens up starting in August, and out-gasses in all
directions, filling the immediate atmosphere with heavy gases. It would
take only a spark to ignite an atmospheric explosion. Due to weather,
these gases would eventually disperse and promulgate, depending on
density and specific gravity of the materials, but methane clears out
pretty quickly.
Now imagine that not only the Napoleonville Dome, but the Minden or Vacherie
Dome in Webster Parish was also found to be out-gassing as well,
because of the seismic activity all over the region? Yet due to the
specific gravity and density of these materials, which were so much
heavier and could not disperse or promulgate at a fast enough rate,
possibly causing breathing difficulties, mass deaths, or worse?
How to
clean the surrounding atmosphere of these Salt Domes out-gassing? It is
not beyond belief that a privately owned Ammunition Plant mostly vacant
could be used to ignite these gases.
The risk
would be minimal if done at the right time, night time, and only minor
damage done nearby. It would make the sky glow for a bit, but that can
be blamed on anything, and was. "Just tell the folks an old Ammo Dump
exploded for no reason, hell, they will believe anything."
Now the
atmosphere in the general area is cleaned. No muss, no real fuss.
Remember now, the same thing happened last year. "Oh, they'll forget
that".
But
consider this, if any spark will set off even one of these out-gassers
that seeps through the cracks of the earth, just what would it do if one
that has collapsed ignites with methane and oil and blows, and travels
to the half mile deep caverns filled with Butane, such as the one in
Bayou Corne Parish?
That's
lighter fluid for folks that don't know. Now you have an atomic sized
event which in turn sets off all the surrounding Salt Domes and their
payloads? It only takes the methane to set this chain of events in
motion. Just the butane alone contained next to the collapsed dome is
enough for 1.5 x the explosive force of both Atomic Bombs set off in Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined,
depending on whose estimates you believe, not to mention the oil stored
there as well? Methane, Light Crude, next to a Butane repository would
set off every repository (Salt Domes) within a 50 mile radius and be the
chain reaction that promulgates thousands of feet in all directions.
Also,
since all of this has to be, and has for a long time, propagated and
traveling along the Louisiana, and possibly even the Mississippi Aquifer
Systems that lie just below, then these, at least 11 H-Bombs, or
B-Bombs go off as well and breaches the Macondo Salt Domes, and the over
fifty other Salt Domes in the immediate vicinity and surrounded by 30
million or more tonnes of old munitions and mustard gas, which in turn
ignites methane, (natural gas), which in turn ignites the oil, which in
turn....well, I think you get the picture now.
Conspiratorial?
We are left to wonder, because the officials in charge refuse to answer
straight questions. Their web page dedicated to FAQ's is completely the
opposite of what the people living in the surrounding parishes of Bayou
Corne and Grand Bayou have reported. If you believe the official
account, then all of the people that live there have eye problems,
perception problems, ear damage, and have lost the ability to taste the
air and water they consume. I lean more towards the people that live in
this nightmare.
DOOMSDAY SCENARIO
But,
that's not the worst... Let’s not forget about the Craton Plate.
Remember it is half floating now due to the ‘Fracking’. Now if a mega-explosion
happens at the base of the New Madrid Fault boundary which travels up
the main fault, thereby triggering all of the secondary faults until
they meet at the Eastern Craton Boundary, also known as New Madrid, Mo.,
which also has a confluence of several other lesser known Major Fault
Lines, and you have a shift of the Craton Plate. A major shift,
relieving the pressure that is constantly put upon it by the Pacific
Plate, and nudged by the North Atlantic Plate, (which has caused all of
the recent "Ground Noises and booms" in the upper Midwest).
We are
talking about an earthquake such as the world has never known. If this
does happen, computer models close to a 12 magnitude are postulated. I
cannot imagine a 12 magnitude quake on subsidence soils. A quake that
large would set off every fault line in the US, Mexico, Canada, New York, to
some degree, and most certainly would set off the major San Andreas
Fault out west that everyone in California and Oregon have feared for
ages.
An
earthquake of such magnitude would certainly impact the earth entire.
What would such an event do to the rotation of our planet? How many
volcanoes would also be set off worldwide?
Sound
impossible? Willing to stake your life on it? I do not want to create a
panic, and it shouldn't, for that is not my intention, but while you
have the time to do so, I do suggest contacting everyone you know and
let's get some action going to find out the answers to these very real
and dangerous questions.
Just the idea of hydraulic fracturing and poisoning of the US water
table and aquifers is enough for me to be concerned, and the
lubrication of the North American craton plate is frightening, but throw
into the mix, the Salt Domes full of natural, butane, methane gases,
even atomic waste, sinkholes venting… Well, all of this together is just
terrifying.
If this
is the best that politicians and scientists can come up with, then I'd
say we have either some very retarded people in those positions, or they
know of the danger and are covering up for the corporations. A worse
idea comes to mind that it may even be intentional. Now that is an even
scarier thought.
Act now, and let’s begin to get some answers and solutions, before it’s too late.
Stay Tuned.... More coming updates to follow.
