I have heard many, many rumors swirling around the BP oil rig explosion. Frankly, I don’t know what to think at this point. What I will say is that I don’t think it was an accident. I have heard that 15 fail safes failed.
The first thought that came to mind is that our beloved government or eco-terrorists are behind it. But there are darker theories out there that you should know about. They may be untrue, but ask yourself: what if? In the age of Obama-in-Wonderland, nothing is improbable anymore.

US Orders Blackout Over North Korean Torpedoing Of Gulf Of Mexico Oil Rig
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers
A grim report circulating in the Kremlin today written by Russia’s Northern Fleet is reporting that the United States has ordered a complete media blackout over North Korea’s torpedoing of the giant Deepwater Horizon oil platform owned by the World’s largest offshore drilling contractor Transocean that was built and financed by South Korea’s Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd., that has caused great loss of life, untold billions in economic damage to the South Korean economy, and an environmental catastrophe to the United States.
Most important to understand about this latest attack by North Korea against its South Korean enemy is that under the existing “laws of war” it was a permissible action as they remain in a state of war against each other due to South Korea’s refusal to sign the 1953 Armistice ending the Korean War.
To the attack itself, these reports continue, the North Korean “cargo vessel” Dai Hong Dan believed to be staffed by 17th Sniper Corps “suicide” troops left Cuba’s Empresa Terminales Mambisas de La Habana (Port of Havana) on April 18th whereupon it “severely deviated” from its intended course for Venezuela’s Puerto Cabello bringing it to within 209 kilometers (130 miles) of the Deepwater Horizon oil platform which was located 80 kilometers (50 miles) off the coast of the US State of Louisiana where it launched an SSC Sang-o Class Mini Submarine (Yugo class) estimated to have an operational range of 321 kilometers (200 miles).
On the night of April 20th the North Korean Mini Submarine manned by these “suicidal” 17th Sniper Corps soldiers attacked the Deepwater Horizon with what are believed to be 2 incendiary torpedoes causing a massive explosion and resulting in 11 workers on this giant oil rig being killed outright. Barely 48 hours later, on April 22nd , this North Korean Mini Submarine committed its final atrocity by exploding itself directly beneath the Deepwater Horizon causing this $1 Billion oil rig to sink beneath the seas and marking 2010’s celebration of Earth Day with one of the largest environmental catastrophes our World has ever seen.
To the reason for North Korea attacking the Deepwater Horizon, these reports say, was to present US President Obama with an “impossible dilemma” prior to the opening of the United Nations Review Conference of the Parties to the Treat on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) set to begin May 3rd in New York.
This “impossible dilemma” facing Obama is indeed real as the decision he is faced with is either to allow the continuation of this massive oil leak catastrophe to continue for months, or immediately stop it by the only known and proven means possible, the detonation of a thermonuclear device.
Russian Navy atomic experts in these reports state that should Obama choose the “nuclear option” the most viable weapon at his disposal is the United States B83 (Mk-83) strategic thermonuclear bomb having a variable yield (Low Kiloton Range to 1,200 Kilotons) which with its 12 foot length and 18 inch diameter, and weighing just over 2,400 pounds, is readily able to be deployed and detonated by a remote controlled mini-sub.
Should Obama choose the “nuclear option” it appears that he would be supported by the International Court of Justice who on July 8, 1996 issued an advisory opinion on the use of nuclear weapons stating that they could not conclude definitively on these weapons use in “extreme circumstances” or “self defense”.
On the other hand, if Obama chooses the “nuclear option” it would leave the UN’s nuclear conference in shambles with every Nation in the World having oil rigs off their coasts demanding an equal right to atomic weapons to protect their environment from catastrophes too, including Iran.
To whatever decision Obama makes it remains a fact that with each passing hour this environmental catastrophe grows worse. And even though Obama has ordered military SWAT teams to protect other oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico from any further attack, and further ordered that all drilling in the Gulf of Mexico be immediately stopped, this massive oil spill has already reached the shores of America and with high waves and more bad weather forecast the likelihood of it being stopped from destroying thousands of miles of US coastland and wildlife appears unstoppable.
And not just to the environmental catastrophe that is unfolding the only devastation to be wrecked upon the United States and South Korea by this North Korean attack as the economic liabilities associated with this disaster are estimated by these Russian reports to be between $500 Billion to $1.5 Trillion, and which only a declaration of this disaster being an “act of war” would free some the World’s largest corporations from bankruptcy.
Important to note too in all of these events was that this was the second attack by North Korea on its South Korean enemy, and US ally, in a month as we had reported on in our March 28th report titled “Obama Orders ‘Immediate Stand-down’ After Deadly North Korean Attack” and which to date neither the Americans or South Korea have retaliated for and giving one senior North Korean party leader the courage to openly state that the North Korean military took “gratifying revenge” on South Korea.
And for those believing that things couldn’t get worse, they couldn’t be more mistaken as new reports coming from Japanese military sources are stating that North Korea is preparing for new launches of its 1,300 kilometer (807 miles) intermediate range ballistic “Rodong” missile which Russian Space Forces experts state is able to “deploy and detonate” an atomic electromagnetic pulse (EMP) device, and which if detonated high in the atmosphere could effectively destroy the American economy for years, if not decades, to come.
I don’t know whether this report is valid or not. What I do know is that the way Obama responded to this (although egregiously late by 8 days I believe) was the way you would respond to an act of terrorism.
11 men died and now Obama says that although the US and Mexico will help in the cleanup the blame lays solely with BP. This is an environmental disaster of epic proportions not only for the environment, but fiscally for the US at a time we can ill afford another economy hit.
By the way, North Korea is not our only enemy that could come from Cuba or South America. Iran has been building up their Qods Shock Troops in Venezuela and the Pentagon is predicting military clashes between the US and an Islamic paramilitary force. Plus we have all the violence on the Mexican / US border. So, opportunity and motive abound for our enemies who are at our back door.
So is it likely North Korea hit the oil rig? Nope… But is it possible? Yep… And we just sit here clueless as a nation while our numerous enemies poke at us with sticks and ready themselves to attack us. Meanwhile, expect more and more of this lethal crap to happen and more and more Americans to die while we are called conspiracy theorists and nuts. One more tidbit… Just remember, Rush Limbaugh pointed out this explosion happened the day before Earth Day. I don’t believe in coincidence, do you?
But it’s okay – our fearless eco-leader Interior Secretary Ken Salazar is declaring that the Obama administration is going to “keep our boot on the neck” of BP. Right… This couldn’t have been tied to the EPA, Cap and Trade and Obama, now could it?
If you want to see photos of the oil rig, go here… They are pretty spectacular – thanks to Pierre Legrand’s Pink Flamingo Bar for the tip.

I want to correct what I said above.
The figure 6.5 mil is crazy. A realistic max is something like 65,000 barrels/day. That would equal the Valdez in about 4 days. The Valdez spilled 270,000 barrels
I have seen this “Beneath the Oil Slick” illustration many times. Am I the only person who finds it ludicrous? I’m not sure if the person who created it was just crazily uniformed or if this is a genuine (although idiotic) effort to deceive. In either case, the average or even the somewhat dim witted can easily deduce that it can not possibly be anything close to the reality of the situation. I mean think about it; supposedly there is an enormous pressure being released (30,000 psi) when the oil and gas comes shooting out of the ground. Once the drilling riser disconnected from the rig (d/t the uncontained pressure caused by the failure of the BOPs, we’re supposed to believe that the now unconnected at the top riser just fell onto the sea floor, despite the fact that the oil is still shooting out of it at 30,000 psi? Now you know that stream of high pressure fluid would cause the riser to continue to maintain it’s verticle position directly over the hole. Obviously it would only collaps if there was no oil coming out of it. Second, they are trying to convince us that holes in the riser are contributing to an additional amount of oil. This is completely ridiculous. There is a certain amount of oil coming out of the hole and it doesn’t matter how many holes exist in the riser, the amount of oil disgorged is always going to be the same, and that is the amount coming out of the hole. The riser isn’t producing oil, the hole is producing oil. Whether it’s coming out one hole or 20, it’s the same amount of oil. I’m no physicist but I would speculate that almost no oil under that kind of pressure comes out of any additional holes but the one at the top of the verticle column. It’s just shooting straight up and bypassing any chinks that may have occurred along the way. The whole notion and diagram are just beyond silly. My conjecture is that they devised this as a way to explain the fact that they underestimated (lied about) the flow by at least 500% and they’re sticking with it. Figure if the BOPs failed the amount of oil being released is the exact same amount that would be released if the
wellhead didn’t exist. That would be maximum possible. I can’t remember what that is, but I think it’s something like 6.5 million/day. In other words, you could surpass the total for the Exxon Valdez in 2 days. I’d figure that is almost certainly what is going on, and then be pleasantly surprised if it isn’t.
It’s highly unlikely that the Deepwater Horizon explosion was the work of a torpedo, based on how the explosion happened.
Well blowouts which cause rig explosions are exceedingly rare, but they do happen. And while there are mysteries surrounding this accident, none of the theories about hostile action fit the facts as established from witnesses on that platform.
