Endless Gulf Oil Spill: Purposeful 'End of Days' Power Play?

NOTE:  The following commentary would not post this morning (5/24/10) to The Washington Post's "The Fix" political blog, but repeatedly elicited a full-screen "held for blog owner" message. 

The writer has confirmed that The Washington Post's web blogs do not "hold" reader comments unless software detects foul language. 

It appears that a covert government surveillance program is imposing ideological censorship, in real time, on the telecommunications of "targeted" American citizens -- many apparently targeted for their politics, their associations, or even their personal backgrounds.  The fact that this apparent censorship is arbitrary and capriciously applied is prima facia proof of its unconstitutionality. 

Please re-post this commentary and make it viral; you will be helping to combat a blatantly illegal, unconstitutional surveillance and censorship regime apparently being run out of the nation's 70-some Homeland Security- administered fusion centers.



GET POLITICAL w/ VIC LIVINGSTON


The Gulf of Mexico oil spill has become Obama's Katrina -- but what if that was an intended outcome all along, engineered by extremist adherents to the politics of chaos and cataclysm?


Another wild conspiracy theory?  Or a question that liberals and centrists refuse to entertain, out of a naive and misplaced notion that "it can't happen here?"

Last year, the website Wikileaks.org published what was purported to be a U.S. Army manual on "Unconventional Warfare."  (The document appears to be no longer available on the web.)  The manual outlined a series of strategies aimed at conquest through chaos:  sabotage of an enemy's economy and financial markets; asymmetrical attacks on the infrastructure; manipulation of the mass media by way of propaganda and psychological operations ("psy ops"); the fomenting of crises to divert the enemy's attention and to drain his resources.

This is not to suggest that the U.S. Army is responsible for what's happening in the Gulf; but the document could provide a road map for those who believe that chaos offers an expedient and untraceable route to military or political victory over a perceived enemy.

It would seem counterproductive for Big Oil and its satellite interest groups to create or prolong the crisis on the Gulf; after all, BP, as the responsible party, has pledged to bear the cost of the clean-up and to reimburse those who suffer financial losses as a result.  But then, there's that $75 million cap on damages that was approved by Congress -- opening the possibility that BP's pledge to make full restitution could prove in the end to be just lip service.

And there's also the fact that the oil spill has not stropped drilling in the Gulf; those two "relief wells" now being drilled also provide a new potential source of profit for the oil giant.

One thing that cannot be disputed is the growing political damage to President Obama and his administration.  As the crisis enters its second month, it's clear that the environmental and economic impact will far exceed the damage done by Hurricane Katrina.  The same is likely to be true when it comes to the political costs.  And because the spill resulted from what has been characterized as an accident, the administration cannot blame its political enemies.

But was it an accident?  A key employee working on the ill-fated Deepwater Horizon rig told CBS News' "60 Minutes" of his discovery that a key safety component, a rubber sealing ring, was damaged -- but that his concerns were dismissed by his superiors.  His account appears to leave open the unthinkable possibility of sabotage.

Perhaps investigators, and the Obama administration, should start thinking the unthinkable as they search for the reasons why this catastrophic BP oil spill is taking so long to contain. 

As they say, all's fair in love and war -- conventional, and unconventional.

What's going to happen to the price of gas?  Is this a big enough problem to jack it up?  I don't know the salvage value of the hydrogenized oil that they are recovering ...

Threats and intimidation -- yours is a mission of un-American evil.  Your threat delivered via telecommunications is noted.  

Did you commit this crime via a computer designated for a taxpayer-funded mission or assignment?  Perhaps that question is being asked in several quarters.  

This is so far beyond one lone journalist/blogger... your (gov't-funded?) bullying is exceeded only by your ignorance and ineptitude.

Have a nice day, "Jack."

35 days and counting and they haven't been able to stop the leak?

Can the environmentalists take advantage of this crisis? If not, who will?

Since British Petroleum has LIED from the start of this blowout - and has a sordid history of accidents/short cuts how can we believe anything they say? After all they were permitted to drill down (through bedrock) 18,000 ft and instead went down somewhere between 35-38,000. Now why would anybody put the perpetrators of a CRIME in charge (duh) of the crime scene? In fires - bad ones, like 4 alarm ones all surrounding fire stations assist. Here we have the most horrific of environmental accidents in our history - WHY didn't the Gov immediately call in  experts from all various oil companies - those who KNOW how to run oil rigs the correct way (Norway - Brazil - mandatory acoustic switches), top scientists and OIL men who work on these platforms / the best from world wide pool? Instead lalala the White House was busy (Michele and Husband) - unbelievable, going on vacation at an exotic spa (NC)..holding fancy dinners - yukking it up at the Correspondent's Dinner - playing golf, playing basketball (men serving their 5th - 6th deployments!) - and NOW with fishermen sick (toxic dispersant) - livlihoods ruined - thousands of dead fish - turtles - pelicans etc they are going on another VACATION to celebrate Memorial Day (forget Tomb of the Unknown Soldier) attending ball game, theater etc in Chicago. No such fun in the sun in the Gulf? Leadership demands compassion - sensitivity - common sense - discernment - etc. See the Peter Prinicpal . A man able to read 'scripted' (written by his team of writers - campaign manager) promises - tell jokes and smile / doesn't necessarily denote a great leader for very demanding times. What is needed is an archetype of FDR/ although I don't agree with some of his actions he was gifted in impressing people that he sincerely cared. Fireside chats. Did he? I wasn't alive - but I still hear elders talking about him. We aren't so lucky.

Very well put.  I suggest you post this to some political blogs.

If this WAS somebody's UW "op," Obama not only took the bait, but swallowed a sharp hook.

I posted a comment today on WaPo's "Fix" blog suggesting Obama clear the decks and head down to the Gulf TODAY... do his press briefing there with local and national media, and start consoling people who once again feel abandoned and betrayed by Washington.

Just who is whispering in Obama's ear?  More indications of "entrainment" here?  I am not kidding, either, because you don't have to be a political pundit to figure out that a month of diddling has only made matters worse....

We do not have a two-party system -- and have not had one since Nixon. We have a corporate-financial-military complex which calls the shots -- literally. This oilspill fiasco and the president's cavalier reaction to it is the proof. Entrainment?  I think not. Part of the oligarchy in charge?  You betcha.

Vic Livingston makes a valid observation. My spider sense has been observing the same attempts at chaos, confusion, fear inducement, etc. pointing to subversive and with Cheney overt coup attempts to form a parallel government. Yes, this is a tactic the U.S. has used to subvert foreign governments according to radio interview accounts by operatives trained in these tactics. The tactics of hate, fear, and repeating lies often enough that they appear the truth we experience daily. Greed and power are the only motivators that I can deduce as valid. After listening to the head of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce speak last week on CNN, I was impressed by his artfully kind rhetoric, which was garnished with contradictions in what he thought was good for America. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce drives education policy in this country now, yet knows nothing about educating a human being. Since they have taken over we see teachers more involved in jumping through their hoops than spending time and energy focused on students. Education has suffered. This is bad for the country.We see the Chamber mouthing concern for U.S. jobs but focusing efforts more on return on investments for stockholders and lobbying efforts to support their agenda which sends more jobs overseas. U.S. jobs are vanishing. We see this is bad for the country.We have seen private companies profit from war, catastrophe, and educational mandated testing. Taxpayers foot the bill. But now taxpayers are increasingly unemployed. Who then is in control? The rich who fund the lobbyists who influence legislation and governing. Now the rich corporations can fund any puppet candidate they choose to run for office. With a parallel government waiting in the wings, a complete coup de'tate could be in the workings. Follow the money trail.

Maybe the WaPo has an autobot filter detecting utter rubbish?

That's the only thing one could possibly label a theory that unseen Republican forces would sabotage an undersea oil well, create the worst disaster in Gulf drilling history, and create a massive public and legislative backlash making a very hostile environment for future energy exploration- all just to make the latest Trilateral Commission Puppet, Obama, look bad.

If that's not blatantly preposterous on the surface, also consider the environment is not exactly a pressing issue for most republicans, and his party faithful who've all but forgotten HE'S all but forgotten every issue he ran on, (echoes of Carter pledging to clean up White House corruption- then fills it with hand picked Trilateral Rockefeller cronies!) aren't going to complain a President didn't put his finger in a gulf of mexico dike no human could hope to influence- (ahem, KATRINA) could we be more detached from reality here?

You want a REAL story, Mr. Scrivener? 33 years apart, the "top 25 censored news stories" of 1977 and 2010 have a politically recurring entry that is just pathetic how the public needs to be reminded, that WE DID GET  FOOLED AGAIN. There are sufficient clues in this post to identify them.

You want to out-Bob Woodward Bob Woodward, you get that out in the open.  Anyone who would see it and continue on a bizarre tangent instead, can only be considered part of the problem.

I didn't say it's the "Republicans," so I guess you are referring to one of the commentators above.

The U.S. Army Special Forces Unconventional Warfare manual -- if what I read on Wikileaks.org was the real document -- provides a precise blueprint for what you're talking about.  I did not state or imply that the Army would subvert the Obama administration.  What I did say is that the document provides a roap map for an entity seeking to subvert our society and the present administration by way of chaos and cataclysm.

Could some rogue fanatics bent on creating "Obama's Katrina" have insinuated themselves on that rig, under the cover of employment for Halliburton, Transoceanic, or BP?  Or a subcontractor of any of those corporations?

That is the possibility that the U.S. Justice Department must investigate, and take seriously.

And if you don't think that's possible, you're either extremely naive or part of the disinformation campaign.  I've long suspected the latter, as you know, and you've given yourself away many, many times.  Were you involved in THIS op?

No, you didn't say "republicans", but as you assert the theoretical goal to be making a huge mess so Obama can look bad, who would have anything to gain by doing so? Little green men from space? No, in a two party country, the opposition party.  As that opposition party is heavily vested in energy exploration it already dances on thin ice with environmentalists to endeavor in, one can think of many ways to get Obama mired in a political quagmire that don't involve shooting oneself in the foot in regards to their primary source of income.

Possible? Sure, and it's possible we'll have pictures of Obama and Michael Jackson in a three way with a preschooler show up soon. Don't bet the farm on it, and anyone expecting a job offer from a respectable media outlet as an intelligent political commentator would be silly to assume an Army Warfare Manual publishing techniques should mean they were planning to use it on American assets, particularly with such dubious motivations as you're presenting.

In essence you're taking partisanship  to a new level of willful ignorance in defense of your party's disappointing choice for commander in chief. If he can't assume a strong leadership role in making foreign companies pay for negligent mistakes harming vital US assets, (and I'm not saying he hasn't) let's rush to theorize the whole thing was a setup made to make him look bad.

Perhaps Clinton paid Bin Laden to plan and execute 9/11, and Hillary paid the weather fairy to curse Bush with Katrina?  Or is she that lady on the Margarine tub TV ads that used to say "it's not NICE to fool Mother Nature"!

Hey, it's POSSIBLE.  And please stop attacking everyone who comments on your articles. It only invites similar replies.

Problem with this as a conspiracy theory is the CEO wasn't operating the rig and couldn't have caused the accident himself. Anyone he could have paid to do the job was on the rig itself and how many men died, 10? 11 Let's see, how much money would it take me to blow up something I'm standing on. How about a million dollars. Problem is how do I spend it if I am dead because I blew up the thing I am standing on.

 If anything you  have to ask, if he knew this was going to happen or even caused it, why did he keep 70% of his shares- and overall, what did he profit? He lost on the 70%, broke even on the 30%, so I'm not even sure what it is is being suggested here.

Overall it's pretty nuts to even think this disaster was intentional, for any reason.

BUCKS COUNTY, PA HOMELAND FUSION CENTER USES JOURNO'S CELL PHONE TO TARGET PAINFUL MICROWAVE TORTURE -- ONCE AGAIN

Microwave War Crimes Attack Report -- June 22, 2010

The head-in-vise pressure pain so familiar to me as a six-year victim of government microwave attack came on suddenly at about 3:15 p.m. today, as I was walking down the aisle of a variety store housed in a solid brick building -- the old Roebling wireworks factory in Trenton, N.J.

At once, I realized that I was under microwave attack from the U.S. government's cell-tower- mounted microwave laser radio frequency "directed energy" weapon system -- under the apparent command and control of the Newtown, Bucks County, PA- based MAGLOCLEN-RissNet multi-agency fusion center -- from which war criminals have assaulted me, and untold thousands of other extrajudicially "targeted" U.S. citizens, for more than six years running.

I also realized at that moment that I had made a cell phone call to my wife -- and I had forgotten to remove the device's battery after the call was done. I kill the device's power supply so the cellphone cannot be used by these fusion center slow-kill torturers to harvest the location coordinates that allow them to silently, covertly assault and impair their victims.

I reached in my pants pocket and took out the phone. The usual color graphic was missing; instead, the screen glowed a bright white. I immediately took off the back cover and removed the battery, while walking rapidly to escape what I had detected as a constant pulsed microwave energy burst that had been tracking my every movement.

Within seconds, the oppressive, vise-like head pain subsided, and I could again think clearly, without a feeling of overwhelming fatigue, pain and confusion. My knowledge of what was happening to me -- AND WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR IT -- allowed me to escape this heinous silent torture. For now.

I hasten to add that each time I visit this shopping center, in a predominantly Hispanic section of Trenton, the radio frequency radiation detector I carry on my person beeps incessantly. I have come to suspect that the Mid-Atlantic states fusion center war criminals are purposely irradiating certain geographic areas of their multi-state coverage area with harmful, debilitating radio frequency radiation -- perhaps as a sick and criminal means of maintaining "social control" -- another manifestation of an electromagnetic genocide.

I HAVE NO DOUBT -- NONE AT ALL -- THAT THIS ATTACK EMANATED FROM OPERATIVES OR AFFILIATES OF THE MAGLOCLEN-RISSNET HOMELAND SECURITY-ADMINISTERED MULTI-AGENCY FUSION CENTER IN NEWTOWN, BUCKS COUNTY PA .

That facility, supposed a law enforcement network devoted to fighting organized crime, has proven by its actions to be a serial violator of human, civil and constitutional rights.

THESE ARE WAR CRIMES BEING COMMITTED UNDER THE AEGIS OF FEDERAL AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT, MILITARY AND INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES -- along with their municipal and corporate "partners."

THIS GESTAPO-LIKE APPARATUS IS COMMITTING CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY ON A PAR WITH THE NAZI WAR CRIMES OF WORLD WAR II.

AND THESE WAR CRIMES ARE BEING COMMITTED WITH THE FULL KNOWLEDGE AND APPROVAL OF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS HIGH AND LOW AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT.

Only the naive elected officials who are supposed to be running this country seem to be left in the dark -- AND THAT INCLUDES PRESIDENT OBAMA, WHOM I FIRMLY BELIEVE HAS BEEN A TARGET AND VICTIM OF THESE COVERT MICROWAVE ATTACKS HIMSELF -- based on empirical evidence that I outline in the "comments" section of the article that has exposed these American war crimes to the world:

http://nowpublic.com/world/u-s-silently-tortures-americans-cell-tower-microwaves
http://nowpublic.com/world/gestapo-usa-govt-funded-vigilante-network-terrorizes-america
http://NowPublic.com/scrivener (see "stories" list) and my Facebook "Notes" page (Vic Livingston)

When will humanity and the rule of law be restored in America? Only when the President and Congress take decisive action to bring a rogue bureaucracy to justice -- and that means some very important people NEED TO GO TO FEDERAL PRISON AS CONVICTED WAR CRIMINALS.
