AboveTopSecret receives e-mail from guy claiming to be a BP supervisor

Listen, I know how some of you feel when you even remotely sense or hear the word "conspiracy", but I thought this was significant to re-post here for a few reasons:

- Most threads on ATS that are hoaxes or BS normally die, or don't go past a page or 2.

- This was posted from someone who's in the "admin" crew of ATS

- The thread is going on 10 pages and it was opened at 1PM. It's 9PM.

- The slang/vernacular used is that of an oil rig worker (doodlebs)

I will repost the entire post, so please...take a peek.

============================================


We have received a "Contact ATS" email from a source claiming to be connected to BP and the operations in the Gulf of Mexico. While the person making contact omitted a reply-to email address (apparently out of concern for his safety), we can verify that the IP of origin is from the Gulf region... specifically a city in Louisiana well-populated with people that work in the Gulf oil industry.

The email makes several claims, some of which we've seen in various forms here on ATS, and some we've not seen before -- including the improbable notion that BP purposefully caused the blow-out because it was apparently the only way to quickly get two new highly-profitable wells drilled.

However, we must take such efforts at information distribution with significant skepticism. The email is presented as-is in the hope that the combined research and investigative talent of our membership may be able to determine if there is any validity to what has been offered. Additionally, we must consider that highly-provocative information such as this may have been crafted to throw "us" off-target into absurd areas of inquiry... which brings up a whole new set of concerns.

Hello ATS
I'm a field sup pulled off a BP rig in the gulf to assist in several areas here and a fan of ATS. There are many things happening here that are only whispered about and more and more of us are getting very worried that this is the worst disaster man has seen and maybe even caused.

I'm a couple hours away from reporting to a security briefing along with many others, and then to what they are saying will be a long term assignment off shore. There are a lot of concerns from the inside you should know about.

The doodlebs (seismic analysts) we talk to have stories of repeated rhythmic events at the well head days before the blowout that was the original reason for several being on rig at the time of the blowout. Now no one talks about that since the two who were compiling data on the non-natural seismic signs have gone missing. Another who knows the doodleb killed in the blowout is telling me he was recommending an immediate pooh and manual trip of the bop.
There are others who are talking about rumors that something was happening at the bop hours before the blowout.

My current assignment has been the containment of any information about anything happening here. Something terrible happen on the floor yesterday and the doodlebs aren't talking except that they all look like they saw a ghost and everyone here is talking doom. My new job was to work with the press liais to push back all reporters and noncompany scientists. But now I have no idea what I will be doing.

All of us concerned BPers (yes, there are many) are talking that something or someone was at the bop and either deliberately caused the blowout or made a grave error that caused the bop to malfunction when the inevitable blowout happened.
Everyone here is talking about it but no one dare say anything to anyone even their families.

There's also something happening about 100 miles southeast of the rig site with several navy and uscg ships. And Friday two serious looking guys arrive and started directing our sup. Apparently they showed Navy Intelligence ID when they arrived along with a dozen commando looking guys.

Rumor is that now they're going to call marshall law and all of us will be prevented from leaving the ships to see our families. Things are going from really bad to crazy.

Nearly everyone here is of the belief that the blowout was planned as a way to destroy a well that had too many problems to be ultimately profitable, and get two new wells drilled (the relief wells) that will be wildly profitable and the only way to do that was destroy this one. We calculated that even with paying cleanup costs the profit on two wells in this reserve will far outweigh the costs in less than a year.

I hope you get this and trust me enough to find a way to get it out as it will probably be the last time I have access to internet and might be the only way you hear a BP employee talk about this for some time.

And Im sorry I can't give you my email as I'm concerned for what might happen if this disclosure is traced back to me

DISCLAIMER:

The email is offered as-is without any claims of accuracy from ATS ownership other than these are the unedited words of the submitter.

The person submitting this information had the clear hope that we would post it for public review, and in the interest of ensuring we encourage future methods of potentially critical information disclosure, we are doing so.

 

[CharacterZero]

crazy story. i can believe it.. i guess we will all find out someday or not.

this oil spill had really been depressing me lately.

 

[ItIsTime]

Think about it...

Blow the well to allow them to drill well relief systems, doubling their profit. Doesn't help that a shitload of BP shares were sold off right before the disaster.

Something is definitely going on. What exactly? Time will soon show us..

 

[TwoOhSix!]

I believe it.

 

[baan]

That... Or maybe the well walls are cracking and oil is leaking out of the resivour itself... Maybe the whole thing was caused by an earthquake? My thought lately was that it was intentional. I don't know what to think anymore.

All I am sure of is that something is way off, and somebody is behind something... Too bad there's no solid info on it.

 

[motaco]

I don't think anyone is really taking the nuclear option seriously. Not anyone at levels it would matter anyway.

 

[patches]

con·spir·a·cy (kn-spîr-s)
n. pl. con·spir·a·cies

1. An agreement to perform together an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act.

Everything is a conspiracy, as is this very web site, on an international level.

 

[arcticsun]

... you know its real bad when you hear; -"nuke it"




at this point im just wondering how its possible after 30 years of underwater drilling in deep waters that nobody has a plan for closing up a well like this??

 

[DiscoBiscuit]

They couldn't cap ixtoc for 10 months (30 years ago) and it was only 200 feet deep.

 

[Molson]

I like this part.

However, we must take such efforts at information distribution with significant skepticism. The email is presented as-is in the hope that the combined research and investigative talent of our membership may be able to determine if there is any validity to what has been offered.

You have to remember... there are A LOT of people fucking pissed at BP. Not out of the realm of possibility that someone would put this out there to stir up shit and create more animosity.

On an unrelated note... watching news clips every night on the oil spill.. I think it's funny that joe shmoe and his brother keep asking why this can't be stopped, should've been plugged earlier, etc, etc. Overnight, everyone and their brother is a fucking engineer qualified to give opinions on the situation.

 

[Dojo]

Why would they need this conspiracy? They already had the green light for more off shore drilling till this happened

 

[patches]

I cant beleive they made an article about such a stupid email, it says nothing and hardly makes sense.

 

[ItIsTime]

patches,

it does make sense, and it says a hell of a lot...

the question is not whether it makes sense or says something...

but if it's true.

again, time will tell. we take these things with grains of salt....just keep your eyes and ears open at all times and ignore the MSM outlets.

But on a lighter note http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/us_and_canada/10313921.stm

President Obama's remarks followed comments in which he said the ongoing oil spill would change the way the US thinks about energy forever - comparing the effect of the disaster on the environment to the way 9/11 shaped US security policy.

"Beyond the risks inherent in drilling four miles beneath the surface of the Earth, our dependence on oil means that we will continue to send billions of dollars of our hard-earned wealth to other countries every month - including many in dangerous and unstable regions," he said.

"In other words, our continued dependence on fossil fuels will jeopardise our national security. It will smother our planet. And it will continue to put our economy and our environment at risk.

"We cannot delay any longer, and that is why I am asking for your help."

 

[patches]

if you read more into the ATS thread they pretty much tear all of it apart...

 

[SOTF420]

I feel this entire incident was an accident caused by poor safety measure and half assed inspection procedures. They are tapping into mother earth and she is fucking pissed.

 

[ItIsTime]

knowing TPTB,

90% of me knows the oil spill was intentional for a reason...a means to an end. what end? time will tell, like i said...

10% of me thinks it was just a god awful mistake

...there you have it. i just thought it was interesting. but the events will play out regardless of what anyone on ATS or ICMAG says....just be keen and SKEPTICAL at all times...and not just of conspiracy theories...of your government!

at first, everyone was in disbelief about 9/11. years later, the evidence was broken down and people were interviewed and the evidence clearly points to a purposeful demolition of both towers and WTC 7 to initiate war games to invade afghanistan, iraq, etc. we are all in disbelief of the oil spill, but like i said with time events will play out and we will be confronted with what REALLY happened.

 

[ButteredIt]

conspiracy time. who thinks it was the GOVERNMENT? to get support for obama's new alternative energy initiative?

 

[danut]

why not just good 'ol ,dynomite the SEALs blow shit up under water obiously not at 5k feet but modify a ROV to guide it in, put enough lead weight to over power 40k psi let it sink below the earth surface and colapse it in on itself at the source.

Conventional explosives won't provide the heat to seal the well.

They went after the "top kill" move. Pump mud and then concrete.

How about shoving liquefied rock down the pipe? It would solidify in seconds. A nuke would provide that.

 

[The Hummus Monk]

It is a conspiracy in that the well head and pipe section was constructed by a US company and BP is a UK company.

Finger pointing and blame will not help one bit...

...could someone please have a word in Mr Obama's ear?
