Environmentalist and author Julia Whitty accuses BP of using oil dispersant and methanol to distort the data on how many barrels of oil have spilled into the Gulf of Mexico. She's convinced BP is simply "working the angles" for their inevitable day in court.
-----
Julia Whitty talks about Deep Blue Home. Whitty presents a penetrating exploration of the three-dimensional ocean river, far more powerful than the Nile or the Amazon, encircling the globe. It's a watery force connected to the earth's climate control and so to the eventual fate of the human race. Whitty is the author of The Fragile Edge. - Book Passage
Julia Whitty is a writer and former documentary filmmaker. She is the author of Deep Blue Home: An Intimate Ecology of Our Wild Ocean, due out July 2010, and of The Fragile Edge, a book on coral reefs, winner of a PEN USA Literary Award, the John Burroughs Medal, the Kiriyama Prize, and finalist for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize.
Her short story collection A Tortoise for the Queen of Tonga won an O. Henry and was a finalist for the PEN Hemingway Award.

BP Using Oil Dispersant to Cover Tracks? - Julia Whitty
Bob Chapman : buy More Gold this is just a correction
Bob Chapman on discount gold and Silver trading 21 July 2010
This is an interconnected world every country is suffering from the same things we do in America says Bob Chapman , in some countries the real estate market is booming because they pay in cash not in credit as in the developed countries .."The reality is that no matter how smart, how strong, how educated or how hard working American workers are, they just cannot compete with people who are desperate to put in 10 to 12 hour days at less than a dollar an hour on the other side of the world. After all, what corporation in their right mind is going to pay an American worker 10 times more (plus benefits) to do the same job? The world is fundamentally changing. Wealth and power are rapidly becoming concentrated at the top and the big global corporations are making massive amounts of money. Meanwhile, the American middle class is being systematically wiped out of existence as U.S. workers are slowly being merged into the new "global" labor pool." Bob Chapman in the International Forecaster of July 17th 2010
Mr. Robert Chapman also known as The International Forecaster is a 74 years old. He was born in Boston, MA and attended Northeastern University majoring in business management. He spent three years in the U. S. Army Counterintelligence, mostly in Europe. He speaks German and French and is conversant in Spanish. He lived in Europe for six years, off and on, three years in Africa, a year in Canada and a year in the Bahamas.
Mr. Chapman became a stockbroker in 1960 and retired in 1988. For 18 of those years he owned his own brokerage firm. He was probably the largest gold and silver stockbroker in the world during that period. When he retired he had over 6,000 clients.
Bob Chapman : you got to remove these people from the government
Starting in 1967 Mr. Chapman began writing articles on business, finance, economics and politics having been printed and reprinted over the years in over 200 publications. He owned and wrote the Gary Allen Report, which had 30,000 subscribers. He currently is owner and editor of The International Forecaster, a compendium of information on business, finance, economics and social and political issues worldwide, which reaches 10,000 investors and brokers monthly directly, and parts of his publication are picked up by 60 different websites weekly exposing his ideas to over 10 million investors a week.
SILVER and GOLD - Michael Ruppert Opinion, Post-Collapse
Michael Ruppert answers a gold question in the Q&A period, May 13, 2010 Contois Auditorium, Burlington, Vermont
you cannot print gold and silver , gold and silver are finite , they are the best hedge against inflation and wealth preservation and this has been for thousands of years....

Oil Spill Workers Developing Mysterious Illness
Because drilling can bring warm fluids up from depth, potentially melting the shallower gas hydrate, many researchers and engineers anticipate that drilling through gas hydrate may pose a hazard to the stability of the well, the platform anchors, the tethers, or even entire platforms
Air tests from the Louisiana coast reveal human health threats from the oil disaster. The concentration threshold for hydrogen sulfide is about 5 to 10 parts per billion. Last Thursday, the EPA measured levels at 1,000 ppb.
Ambient air standard for the VOC benzene, for example, is 3.76 ppb, while its standard for methylene chloride is 61.25 ppb. Air testing results show VOC concentrations far above these state standards. On May 6, for example, the EPA measured VOCs at levels of 483 ppb.

Here is more info about the gulf gas oil eruption going on.
Me and a friend were talking today and I though maybe you could use this info, it mostly regional stuff, but you might be able to put it in a more global context for us..
Let me know what you think about this methane glazer thats down under the Gulf and what sort of related stuff you know about present conditions globally that could be effecting it.
This is raw stuff, it might not be 100% but it is good intel...
-------------------------
Its a gas-oil eruption and there are several plumes not just the one around the horizon rig..
The gas and oil coming out of the plume you see on tv totals less than 2% of the gas and oil being released into the waters.
There is a core methane hydrate deposit, the largest known to exist.
In fact if it is allowed to escape, when it burns off it will consume all the oxygen within the whole of the atmosphere of the entire earth, no more air for anything to breath not just fish, it really is Pandora's box these ass clowns opened up.
What is fueling the eruptions is the reaction occurring from the frozen methane hydrates transforming, faster and faster, from a frozen solid state to a liquid, then rising and finally turning back into gas, it is a chemical reaction that is the power source behind the eruptions, not the normal volcanic activity.
Think of it as an underwater methane glazier that is melting as a result of the changing pressure and temperature of the planet.
Who knows if it would have remained frozen if BP wouldn't have been doing experimental exploration.
Really its just a small part of what you see taking place around the world with all the earth quakes and volcanoes going off everywhere.
Mainly the volcanic eruption in Iceland changed the pressure the methane was being held under by a few degrees, its the pressure thats been keeping it frozen, our it would have erupted a long time ago.
The people drilling did not have real time measurements, so they were not prepared for the level of pressure that they encountered, it was way beyond what they had estimated and were expecting it to be when they hit the deposit
But factually speaking people shouldn't be calling it an oil spill, and the people saying that know thats not what it is.
You got fundies who still believe Iraq was a threat, and the Taliban had something to do with it all, people truly do believe whatever they decide they want to believe, so long as its not the truth, and the facts rarely have anything to do with it.
Even people who think of themselves as sensible and reasonable are just liars like the rest of us.
Liars whose only concern is their own ass nothing more, no matter what they claim.
what is happening in the Gulf is not a spill and never has been, its a gas-oil eruption, and there is 3000 to 5000 times more gas being released than oil.
Which when you do the math, its 1 part to 250,000 part oxygen depletion ratio occurring as the gas-oil, and various other chemicals, interact with the sea water.
Thats how I came up with 3-6 months, all life in the Gulf and Atlantic, 6-12mn all life in all oceans, 12mn - 2yr all life that breaths air on the surface.
Simple math try it yourself.
