We’ve just seen Tepco indirectly blame the anti-nuclear movement for the Fukushima disaster — Now there’s the Washington Post claiming that ‘blogs’, rather than experts, are behind the allegations that BP’s Macondo reservoir “is not truly dead”:
[...] a BP internal slide presentation said the new oil sheen probably came from the riser [...] “the size and persistence of this slick, the persistent location of the oil slick origin point, the chemistry of the samples taken from the slick … suggest that the likely source of the slick is a leak of Macondo … oil mixed with drilling mud that had been trapped in the riser of the Deepwater Horizon rig.”
But Ian MacDonald, a professor of oceanography at Florida State University and a spill expert, cautioned said [sic] that the origin of the new oil remains uncertain. “The jury is out here,” he said, adding that it was too early “to rule out that this is oil freshly released from the reservoir.”
[...] there have been persistent rumors and allegations on blogs that Macondo is not truly dead, and that it is continuing to spew oil into the gulf. [...]
More from Professor MacDonald via Washington’s Blog, Oct. 12, 2012: “The key statement in the BP discussion was the fact that oil recovered on the ocean surface was not biodegraded. This is not consistent with a pool of oil supposedly trapped in the wreckage of the riser, which would have been exposed to ambient bacterial activity for over two years.”
The Washington Post reporters may want to consider a follow-up article using information provided by experts (not ‘blogs’) such as these:
- University of California Scientist: “It could be a persistent, significant, continuous oil spill again, and that would require BP to go back
- Stanford geophysicist suggests BP blowout could be traced to “cracks that formed in an underwater formation”
- Engineer who worked for BP: Geology around blow-out is “fractured” and “could keep leaking for years”

well said admin!
and more "illegal rumours" here
There has been a doubling of the concentration of nuclear radiation in the atmosphere.
”Yet another concern is the increase of radiation in our global environment – including the doubling of the concentration of nuclear radiation in the atmosphere.”
Re “Safety Report Says Europe’s Nuclear Reactors Need Repair” (news article, Oct. 4):
I spent the last year reviewing Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, Fukushima and so on and found that neither they nor practically any of the 435 operating nuclear plants around the world are designed for safe shutdown in case of simultaneous external and internal electricity failure.
Similarly, few of them are protected against hydrogen explosions, and practically none can handle regular or cyberterrorist attacks.

Funny how the main-stream-media downplays, exaggerates, highlights or ignores news either by political instructions or at will or agenda.
Now bloggers can't prove anything so it is all innuendo while newspapers have the final word with government expert's say so.
The competition is putting newspapers out of business, how is government going to get their talking points published?

Newspapers Owned by These Businesses and wont report or down plays.

As we all know, "blog" is short for "bull log", and besides, it's on the internet. How could anyone trust them?

This is ridiculous. Tell them to cap it off or face a nation-wide citizen class-action environmental damage lawsuit. If they won't respond to letters perhaps we should start shutting down their phone and fax lines.

This is the American Senate. Between this, Assumption Parish, and Fukushima the environmental damage has to end. Now. The profit isn't worth the billions of dollars taxpayers have to pay for substandard medical insurance to manage the many illnesses caused by BP.

Contact your representatives and tell them to intervene to cap it off or face losing ALL of their jobs next month. They need to decide if they are loyal to the people who elected them and pays their salaries or to corrupt, murderous, global "businessmen".

It WAS capped off. BP is currently only legally required to have capped off the well head, and not plug any leaking along any rifts if it cannot be proven that the rifts are leaking because of a broken line, unnatural pressure created by BP, etc. The theory is that the well had too much methane. BP will not be held accountable for a naturally occurring substance, only for a technical mistake or negligence, misconduct, etc.

So, now it's a wait and see game if this is just old oil stuck in a riser pipe that finally released or a new leak.
