BP Has Us Over A Barrel, Literally

   First of all, here is a five minute video that I made of the eruptions that are occurring on/or around the :47th minute of every hour at the bottom of the Gulf, near the BP wellhead. They last from five to nine minutes. I recorded a live video feed from one of the BP spill cams and discovered this after reviewing 10 hours of video. There are two eruption locations in this video.
  
   I have been watching these eruptions for over a month. BP is aware of these eruptions and has been dealing with them for longer than that, according to their own videos from cutting the riser, etc..
   Oil is not spewing out of these holes, nor does it appear to be oil. From the information I've been able to gather, it is a mixture of hydrogen sulfide, VOC's (volatile organic compounds such as propane, benzene, methane) and volcanic magma.
   To simplify that, we now have small volcanoes erupting on the sea floor near the BP wellhead. 
   All of this may make a bit more sense if you understand what oil really...isn't.
   First of all, oil does not come from fossils. The deepest that fossils have been discovered is 16,000 feet below sea level. We drill regularly to depths of 30,000 and beyond and find large reservoirs of oil mixed with voc between layers of rock, at an enormous amount of pressure.
   Scientists and geologists now believe oil is created thousands of feet below the surface of the Earth and works it's way up, and not down as suggested by the fossil fuel concept. This makes sense, since water is heavier than oil. Water sinks into the Earth.  Also, the fossil fuel concept implied that there was limited supply, therefore making oil more valuable. Money, money, money!
   Scientists really don't know what makes magma, and they really don't know what makes oil. They have a better idea these days. Oil is now considered a micro-biotic substance. And it does not come from decomposed living organisms from the surface of the earth. We would have run out long ago if that were true. So, knowing this should make it easier to understand why we are having sea volcanoes and what we are really tapping into when we drill that deep into the Earth.
   Officials are now claiming that, since they have capped the well, and the top kill worked, 75% of the oil has been cleaned up. Well, if you believe that, you are a fool. Two hundred million gallons of oil just doesn't disappear because you have corked the flow. This is a play by BP to get out of a lot of financial responsibility to clean up and compensate!! 
   This company literally has us over a barrel. Apparently the government can't match, or has no access to match, their technology. And apparently the government has no power over this company either. In spite of being told by a government agency, the EPA, to stop using dispersant freely, they ignored the order and did it anyway! They answer to no one! BP was even pretentious enough to say they were going to drill in that reservoir again because it is so abundantly lucrative, as if they were thumbing their noses at us.
    Oil and magma mixed with dispersant, which is the red-rust-colored goo you see floating in the water, still continues to wash ashore along the Gulf. This is a different substance than what was cleaned up from the Exxon Valdez incident. The Exxon Valdez actually spilled oil. BP tapped into the mantle of the earth and got not only oil and toxic gasses but  volcanic magma too! Maybe if BP wouldn't have mixed dispersant with the magma it wouldn't have turned into a goo and would have dispersed naturally. We'll never know now. This problem is far from over.
   And then there are the eruptions from the sea volcanoes that they're not telling us about. There is no doubt in my mind that BP wants to claim that they've done their part and to get out. And I'm sure they want to shut down those spill cams so people like me can't see this stuff!
   This is the kind of arrogance, greed and apathy that will destroy this planet if we let it. There are quite a few grass roots movements springing up to try and battle BP and their control over the people and waters in the Gulf. Who are these people at BP and why should anyone surrender their lives to them? Why should we allow them to continue to create environmental apocalypses?
   Are you so opposed to change that you won't even consider an alternative fuel for your car or a new way to generate electricity for your house? Or something as simple as abandoning the use of styrofoam cups and plates which are made from oil?
   We didn't get to where we are by shunning change. Change is a part of life. Nothing ever stays the same. We have outgrown micro-biotic fuels. We have got to stop killing ourselves with laziness and complacency and make the change over to a better source of fuel. We need to act now!!
   I have a link to an alternative fuel below in my book store. If you don't like that idea, there are plenty more. Just Google alternative fuels. You can take your pick. Or at least talk about it. Just don't do nothing at all...
