Striking BP Oil: Response To Claims 75% Of Gulf Oil Is ‘Dispersed’

August 4, 2010: John Snell (Anchor) / FOX 8 Live New Orleans – August 2, 2010

Bay Long, Plaquemines Parish, LA– On a nameless Louisiana barrier island, oil oozes from a foot or two underground. The discovery, made over the weekend by a dive team, raises questions about how much oil might be present on the island, but hidden below the surface.

“It’s [like] Jed Clampet’s oil,” laments PJ Hahn, the Plaquemines Parish Coastal Zone Director.  “All we need is the theme song to The Beverly Hillbillies.”

Hahn accompanied the divers as they searched for oil in the water column or on the sea floor, a task made quite impossible by murky waters close to the islands. “We really didn’t get any good video shots,” Hahn said, until one of the dive team members stepped on a hole dug by a Hermit Crab.  “Oil just started bubbling out.” 

They used a piece of grass like a dipstick, which drew no oil to the surface.  Then, Hahn says they stuck a larger stick down the hole and found oil deeper under the surface.

On a second trip to the island with a Fox 8 News crew, Hahn brought a shovel and struck oil, turning up thick, black oil that had not been heavily weathered and did not appear to have been dispersed. “I would have never thought that this oil would be this deep underground,” Hahn said. Plaquemines Parish would like BP to take soil samples to determine how much more oil is present on the islands.

BP’s Oil Now Oozing Out From Beach Sand In Louisiana

The Tonka Report Editor’s Note: The recent claims being clamored throughout the disgusting corporate media parroting Obama, BP, and so-called “federal scientists” that 75% of the estimated 4.9 million barrels of oil that spewed into the Gulf of Mexico has been “dispersed,” cleaned up, burned off, eaten by Mother Nature, poof, vanished, is gone… leads me to only one conclusion: THESE FREAKS ARE UTTERLY INSANE! – SJH

Intelligence Experts Warn Obama Israel May Attack Iran In August!

August 4, 2010: Paul Joseph Watson / Infowars.com – August 4, 2010

Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS), a group of former intelligence and military officials, warns President Obama in a memo that Israel is preparing to attack Iran this month, and that Obama needs to publicly denounce such an attack in order to prevent a wider war and the ultimate destruction of Israel.

“We write to alert you to the likelihood that Israel will attack Iran as early as this month. This would likely lead to a wider war,” states the VIPS memo, which is addressed to the President.

The letter is signed by Phil Giraldi, former CIA (20 years); Larry Johnson, former CIA, DoS, (24 years); W. Patrick Lang, Col. USA Special Forces (ret.), Director of HUMINT Collection, Defense Intelligence Agency (30 years); Ray McGovern, US Army Intelligence Officer, CIA (30 years); Coleen Rowley, FBI (24 years); and Ann Wright, Col., US Army Reserve (ret.), (29 years), Foreign Service Officer, Department of State (16 years).

The intelligence experts explain that Israel’s tactic is to launch the war suddenly and then make it politically untenable for Obama to do anything other than offer the United States’ full military support for the campaign. Pointing out that Israel has habitually employed surprise and deception in furthering its geopolitical aims, VIPS warns Obama that misplaced trust in Israeli Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu’s assurances that Israel would not launch a surprise attack would be foolhardy.

The memo highlights Netanyahu’s attitude to how pliable he believes the American government is to satisfying Israel’s demands, making reference to comments he made nine years ago on Israeli television. “America is something that can be easily moved. Moved in the right direction. … They won’t get in our way … Eighty percent of the Americans support us. It’s absurd,” said Netanyahu.

“As we hope your advisers have told you, regime change, not Iranian nuclear weapons, is Israel’s primary concern,” states the memo, adding, “A strong public statement by you, personally warning Israel not to attack Iran would most probably head off such an Israeli move.”

The VIPS members appeal to Obama that only he can now head off an attack on Iran that could take place as soon as this month. But the group’s call on Obama to denounce a planned military assault on Iran is likely to fall on deaf ears, because Washington has been almost as active as Israel in planning an attack on Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities.

A report in Time Magazine last month confirmed that Israel had convinced Washington to put the idea of a military strike firmly at the forefront of strategic planning. The report stated that US Central Command had been finalizing a plan of targeted air strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities and that Israel had been brought into that process.

On Sunday August 1st during an appearance on CBS’s “Face The Nation,” Admiral Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reiterated that the military option remained on the table. Any such attack would come from the air and would utilize B-2 bombers and cruise missiles as part of a knockout blow against Iran’s nuclear facilities. This would be followed by a velvet revolution in which opposition groups, which are largely controlled by the CIA and its allies, would overthrow the Ahmadinejad government.

Destabilization efforts in pursuit of this overthrow have been ongoing for years, the latest of which appears to be a claim that Ahmadinejad himself was the target of an assassination attempt today, a story the Iranian state media has strongly denied.

The U.S. government has been funding and training the Sunni terrorist group Jundullah, formerly headed by the accused mastermind of 9/11 Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, to carry out bombings and other destabilization campaigns in Iran as part of a “campaign intended to destabilise, and eventually topple, the theocratic rule of the mullahs”.

As we have documented, political pressure is clearly being brought to bear on Obama in an effort to get the green light for the attack on Iran. Voices from both sides of the political spectrum are repeating the mantra that the only way to rescue Obama’s plummeting approval ratings is to rally the country behind another war in the Middle East.

Given this backdrop, it seems unlikely that the Obama administration would do anything other than vehemently support an Israeli-led attack on Iran. Perhaps the best way to try and stop such an outcome would be to appeal to current intelligence and military insiders who experienced the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction debacle at first hand and, as the November National Intelligence Estimate proved, are loathe to be hoodwinked into another staged war based on false pretenses.

The Tonka Report Editor’s Note: Most likely dates for an air strike on Iran would take place during the New Moon when skies are the darkest. Those dates are August 10, September 8, and October 7 for 2010… Brace yourselves as WWIII appears imminent! – SJH
