Louisiana Residents Told To Get Out And Away From Possible Second Salt Dome Collapse

We just can’t seem to get away from the ongoing nightmare In Louisiana. Now we hear there is another salt dome ready to go possibly! Parts of Highway 70 have buckled. That is the one they use to “fix” things. Texas Brine it appears now says that everything is not under control as originally was the party line. What a surprise huh? It looks like they now are in a move or die situation.

There are approximately 50 salt domes in that area, some with gas which could go boom! Also new bubbles are showing up in some areas. I am  afraid this situation did not strike me as another run of the mill tragedy to begin with and I am afraid I was right. This area is at the tail of the New Madrid Fault line which is bad enough not to mention the ongoing horror of a now polluted Gulf of Mexico where residents are still getting sick with no relief in sight. BP says you know they have covered all damages.

Oil Rig Explosion and Fire in Gulf Coast, Two Missing

Posted in economics, enviroment, tagged , , , , , , , on November 16, 2012 | Leave a Comment »


An oil and gas rig off the coast of Louisiana was hit by an explosion and fire this morning, leaving crew members missing.

The U.S. Coast Guard confirmed that a Black Elk Energy Co. oil and natural gas platform had some sort of explosion occur in the gulf, sending plumes of black smoke into the sky over the water.

Two people are missing and “probably overboard,” according to Coast Guard spokesman Carlos Vega.

Four people aboard the platform were airlifted for medical treatment.

The platform was located about 20 nautical miles southeast of Grand Isle, La., when the explosion happened, Vega said. It is not clear whether the platform is still burning.

There has been no report that any oil spilled into the gulf.

Oil from BP spill uncovered by Isaac’s waves

Posted in enviroment, tagged , , , , , , , on September 7, 2012 | 1 Comment »


 

NEW ORLEANS — Waves from Hurricane Isaac uncovered oil buried along Gulf Coast beaches, exposing crude that wasn’t cleaned up after the BP spill in 2010.

Since Isaac made landfall more than a week ago, the water from the storm has receded and tar balls and oil have been reported on shores in Alabama and Louisiana, where officials closed a 13-mile stretch of beach Tuesday.

BP said Wednesday some of that oil was from the spill, but said some of the crude may be from other sources, too.

Hurricane Isaac Exploited to Acclimate Citizens to Federal Military Role in Natural Disasters

Posted in enviroment, government, media, military, tagged , , , , , , , on August 31, 2012 | Leave a Comment »


Despite the fact Isaac is a category one hurricane and New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu said the city had “dodged a bullet,” the Army National Guard has dispatched thousands of troops in Louisiana.

Gov. Bobby Jindal’s office said Tuesday it has asked the Defense Department to pay for up to 8,000 troops for 180 days. Moreover, the National Guard Bureau indicated another 35,000 troops and almost 100 aircraft are available for mobilization to Gulf Coast states, according to Paul Purpura of The Times-Picayune.

Jindal told the Wall Street Journal “Katrina-style flooding” wasn’t expected.

As has now become routine in federal responses to natural disasters, the demarcation between military and local law enforcement has all but disappeared. The Times-Picayune reports that soldiers are now assisting New Orleans cops with law enforcement duties in direct violation of Posse Comitatus, an 1878 law that prohibits troops from working with police.

The newspaper reports that police officers searched the house of a burglary suspect accompanied by “a soldier who carried an M-4 assault rifle, as other armed soldiers stood nearby on St. Claude Avenue beside their Humvees.”

The Time Has Come!!!

Posted in enviroment, science, tagged , , , , , , , on August 17, 2012 | 2 Comments »


Bayou Corne Louisiana has experienced a series of events which ‘professionals’ are having a hard time explaining — or at least the pros are finding it to be an inconvenient time to offer an explanation as to what is going on. The nuclear array of the US is all along fault lines, and those lines are seeing multiple earthquakes from top to bottom. SHUT DOWN NUCLEAR ENERGY NOW!!!

The ‘professionals’ will NEVER really tell you whats going on with Bayou Corne.. because this would mean ‘they’ must admit a global unrest event is taking place.. and they CANNOT do that .. since they have already made the vested claims that everything is normal.. and nothing is out of the ordinary when it comes to earthquakes, volcanoes, or other massive geologic movements CLEARLY TAKING PLACE DAILY/WEEKLY NOW…

Simply put, the Bayou Corne Salt Dome Collapse, the Plumes from several dormant volcanic areas, the Earthquakes along the edge of the plate at fracking / injection/ drilling sites, the mystery booms / rumbles toward the center of the plate……. all can be explained by excessive pressure on the craton.. moving the whole plate in one MASSIVE event — taking place currently — taking months to complete the process..

For certain it started last year… carrying on to today .. I am certain we will see more events similar in the near future (months or less).

Have your plans ready .. don’t be Scared… BE PREPARED !!

Its a long story, but crucial for everyone to understand !

New Oil Leaking from Deepwater Horizon Macondo Well

Posted in enviroment, history, tagged , , , , , , , on August 18, 2011 | Leave a Comment »


BP Hires Fleet of 40 Shrimp Boats to Lay Boom Around Deepwater Horizon Site.

Macondo Well site
No, this isn’t a post from last year. Oil from the Macondo Well site is fouling the Gulf anew – and BP is scrambling to contain both the crude and the PR nightmare that waits in the wings. Reliable sources tell us that BP has hired 40 boats from Venice to Grand Isle to lay boom around the Deepwater Horizon site – located just 50 miles off the Louisiana coast. The fleet rushed to the scene late last week and worked through the weekend to contain what was becoming a massive slick at the site of the Macondo wellhead, which was officially “killed” back in September 2010.
The truly frightening part of this development, as reported in a previous post (see below), is the oil may be coming from cracks and fissures in the seafloor caused by the work BP did during its failed attempts to cap the runaway Macondo Well – and that type of leakage can’t be stopped, ever.
Catch up on how this could possibly be happening – again – by reading or re-reading my July 25 post below. Stay tuned as we will be all over this story as it continues to develop.

Raw Ground beef

DODGE CITY, Kan. (AP) — At least three major grocery store chains have recalled some of their ground beef packages because they could be contaminated with E. coli bacteria.

Winn-Dixie Stores Inc., Publix Super Markets Inc. and Kroger Co. announced the recalls mainly in the southeastern U.S. and said they stem from problems at the National Beef Packaging Co. of Dodge City, Kan.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Friday that National Beef was recalling more than 60,000 pounds of beef after the Ohio Department of Agriculture found the bacteria during routine testing.

The recalls affect products sold mainly in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, South Carolina and Tennessee, but the meat was sent to several distributors and could have been repackaged for consumers and sold nationwide.

(NaturalNews) As record-breaking Mississippi River flood waters crested this morning near Memphis, Tenn., many other towns and cities along the river are awaiting record-breaking flood levels expected to arrive later this week and early next week.The Washington Posthas reported that three million acres of mostly farmland have already been flooded in Arkansas, Tennessee, and Mississippi — and much of this water is highly polluted with chemicals, pesticides, and other dangerous pollutants that are now surging down towards the Gulf of Mexico (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs…).

Flood waters continue to rise all along the Mississippi, including in Natchez, Miss., which today saw its portion of the river rise to 58.3feet, breaking the all-time 1937 record of 53.04 feet. Vicksburg, Miss., Baton Rouge, La., and New Orleans, La. are all expected to see record-breaking crests late next week, some far exceeding previous record flood levels. And the US Army Corps of Engineers may release several more levees in Louisiana within the next few days.

–’Gov. Jindal is essentially taking money from somebody who works for BP at the same time he’s supposed to be holding BP accountable.’ 28 Mar 2011 The head of a Hammond-based firm that is handling oil spill claims processing for BP is hosting the latest fund-raising event for Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-Terrorist). The $1,000 a plate cocktail reception — the “host” level costs $5,000 — is being held Tuesday at the offices of Worley Catastrophe Response, and hosted by the company’s chief executive, Mike Worley. Worley has handled claims on behalf of BP, and later the Gulf Coast Claims Facility, since shortly after the April 20 Deepwater Horizon explosion and subsequent oil spill.

Reports: Jet loaded with millions in gold and cash seized by Congolese authorities linked to Southlake philanthropist

A Gulfstream jet seized by Congolese authorities suspected of being used to smuggle gold from rebel-controlled strongholds is apparently owned by a North Texas aviation firm owned by Southlake philanthropist David Disiere, records show.

Dow Jones reported today that the tail number on the jet is N886DT, which FAA records shows to be owned by Southlake Aviation LLC. Disiere is that company’s director and president.

Disiere did not return phone calls to his house in Southlake today. It’s unclear whether he was leasing the plane to someone else or had any knowledge of the African incident.

Disiere made headlines last year when he pulled funding for a popular after school program for disadvantaged kids. In 2000, he pleaded guilty to failing to report a felony in connection with the corruption investigation of former Louisiana Gov. Edwin Edwards.

Southerners struggle to dig out from heavy snow

Posted in climate change, global warming, science, tagged , , , , , , , on January 12, 2011 | Leave a Comment »


AS ONION ONCE SAID, “LOOKS LIKE GLOBAL WARMING CAUGHT A COLD.”

Atlanta – Temperatures plummeted late Monday, turning slushy streets into sheets of ice across Southern states that are more accustomed to sunshine than snow. The wintry blast has grounded flights, cut power to thousands of homes and even forced Auburn University to cancel viewing parties for the national championship bowl game.

Snow ranging from several inches to more than a foot blanketed states from Louisiana to the Carolinas – a region where many cities have only a handful of snow plows, if any. In many areas, the snow began turning to freezing rain, making roads even more treacherous.

“If you’re off the main roads, it’s a skating rink,” said Tim Loucks, manager of the Pilot Truck Stop in Haughton, La.

The storm shut down most cities and towns, closed many businesses, and canceled most flights at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the world’s busiest. At least nine people were killed in weather-related traffic accidents.

Worried shoppers left grocery store shelves bare, and families without electricity huddled in dark, chilly homes. Predicted overnight lows in the 20s raised the threat of more outages as snow and freezing rain accumulated on tree branches and power lines.

“The problem here is that they’re not used to it, so the equipment and the sanitation removal and the snow removal is not really geared for this kind of situation,” said Tino Grana, 48, of New York City, who traveled to Atlanta to sell art at a downtown trade show.

HAARP hell: –500 carcasses collected after dying in Louisiana on Monday –As many as 5,000 birds dead in Arkansas on New Year’s Eve –Up to 100,000 dead and dying drum fish washed up in Arkansas River –Tens of thousands of dead fish in Chesapeake Bay in Maryland 04 Jan 2011 The mystery over thousands of birds raining from the sky in America deepened today after hundreds more plunged to their deaths in different parts of the country. Scientists said that New Year’s Eve fireworks might have been to blame for the 3,000 blackbirds that died in a small town in Arkansas. But they were forced to order more tests last night after 500 birds plummeted to the ground 360 miles away in Louisiana on Monday and dozens more died in Kentucky. And just a 100 miles away from the Arkansas mass bird kill, at least 83,000 dead and dying fish washed ashore – possibly as many as 100,000. The Internet has been abuzz with conspiracy theories about secret government testing and a looming Armageddon.

Oil rig explodes burning three workers

AN oil rig exploded overnight in a Louisiana bayou just north of the Gulf of Mexico, but authorities said it appeared that any release of oil or gas was limited.

Three workers were sent to hospital with burns after the 10am local time incident in Bayou Perot,  below the tiny town of Jean Lafitte south of New Orleans.

Helicopters surveyed the scene shortly after the explosion and found that the fire was out and no oil or gas was visible, Parish President John F. Young Jr said.

The US Coast Guard scrambled a helicopter and aircraft to survey the damage surrounding the “workover rig”, Petty Officer Thomas Blue said.
