An odd thing keeps happeneing in the Gulf when we hear spokesmodels expostulating . . . .
They always report the actualization of last week's noozmedia speculation.

Just by way of example, when they put that new cap in place and talked about what the pressure readings would mean, we heard talk of "seabed fissures" and "well bore failings". The nattering noozie explains it all to us and tells us how unlikely it is to happen.

And then it happens.

We heard all day today about well bore issues and cracks in the seabed and seismic monitoring and fissures and escaping methane gas and the need to regush the gusher to stop it from gushing . . . . or whatever is today's shit loaf they're selling.





Seriously. They telegraphed the fissures last week. Today they admit they're there (although they claim they don't know what's leaking yet, thinking methane is better than oil so they tell us "probably methane" - for now).

Next up: Well bore failure (which is much more serious than what we have seen so far). Watch for it. They telegraphed it today.

. . . . motherfuckers.

1. Yep, same old tired pattern. They think we're forgetting it like Katrina, or we are
just too ignorant to understand/care what they are doing, or it's so out of control the "real" truth would incite some real panic, or bored out of our minds. I really get tired of the psycho-babble from BP and frankly our gov.

My take on it is we are in such deep shit in the Gulf that none know how to handle the real news. We get propaganda doled out... Oh I am so tired of all of the BS.

2. Exactly.
I was already expecting to hear that unexpectedly, the well casing is compromised and may fail totally at any moment . . .

4. An all too familiar pattern with anything BP/media/Gov.
It's not just our media.

:think: Maybe The Propaganda Networks, BP and our government can collaborate on a new website and call it: MSM_BP.Gov. :puke:
