I heard similar from a guy today. He's an ex Seal with still solid contacts in Intel. Told me his buds are saying the bottom in the Gulf is ready to blow. Said the gov't is petrified this could escalate beyond the "worst case scenario". Thus the gov't and BP as allies in the media blackout.

It is the British pension fund managers who have said that Obama has done more damage to BP's market cap than the cost of the spill... telegraph.co.uk

Interview with Dr. Ira Leifer, "researcher in the Marine Science Institute at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and a member of the government’s Flow Rate Technical Group" (June 09, 2010)... democracynow.org He indicates the upper bound for flow may be around 100,000 bbl/day (and is increasing in volume over time) . He talks about concerns about "weak formation" in geological strata, and also that independent scientists do not have continuous access to spill (and the problems this presents for "lessons learned" and understanding from a scientific vantage point the dynamic situation of oil spills at this depth). He indicates it's a massive reservoir of oil and gas at the bottom of the well, and could flow into the gulf for 20-30 years if it is not mitigated by current efforts.

It's another cover-up? I think this is the BIG one. When do they come clean? It's all about GREED, and the GREED created the debt, and the DEBT will demolish this place.

Anatoly Sagalevich appears to have some credibility At the helm of Mir-1 was Anatoly Sagalevich, head of the Deep Manned Submersibles Laboratory at the Russian Academy of Science’s P. P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology. vanityfair.com

Talked to Matt Simmons today. He had just appeared on the MSNBC Dylan Ratigan show where he told a similar tale. Here’s his story: There are not cracks in the sea floor. The Thomas Jefferson, deployed from Woods Hole, will end up finding an open hole where the well and casing used to be, some miles away from where BP is working. It is putting out 100,000 to 150,000 bpd. The explosion blew the Blowout Preventer off and left the riser on the sea floor. The recovery effort is just coming from the riser. The gas plumes you see in the videos are only 3 to 4 feet high. That’s not the main oil source. The claims of 11,000 bpd recovery is just lies. We don’t know where the BOP is. That’s just the riser you’re seeing. The well must have blown at 50,000 psi. When they find the oil well, it will be without any casing. All the casing blew out of the well. This is common occurrence. It was a bad cementing job. That is why relief wells cannot possibly work. The Soviets put their bombs down the open hole (not true, of course). The Navy needs to come in with a device that can force a 7” A-bomb 18,000 feet down the well and detonate it. You have to stop the gusher. It may cover 40% of the Gulf of Mexico 400 to 500 feet thick. We should be deploying tankers to suck up the oil from the bottom. marketoracle.co.uk
