The Gulf Oil Spill as the Unfolding of Prophecy

As someone who has written extensively on indigenous prophecies relating to this time, it is hard for me to escape the uneasy presentiment that the massive, ceaseless, devastating cascade of what may be more than 100,000 barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico each day – apparently still mixed with the far more toxic dispersant Corexit that British Petroleum continues to inject, despite EPA objections – is anything but the inception of a new phase in the foretold unfolding of events that may terminate most life on earth, potentially leading to the rapid extinction of the human species. Recent articles reveal that there is a gigantic bubble of methane gas underneath the Gulf of Mexico, which has helped to create the enormous pressure that makes it unlikely, if not impossible, that the Deepwater Horizon oil spill can be stopped by human means. Video taken by undersea robots show oil and gas leaking from many fissures in the earth, far beyond the range of the well hole. This suggests that the underground containment structure is cracking apart. If the current effort to build relief wells fails or is ineffective, there are no more known technological fixes available.

unsung I stopped by on March 7 2024. First time in many years, had to update payment info. Hope all is well. Politicians suck. Bye. Posts: 9,4872012 watch it go to fire.0

It was actually a pretty good read until I got to this part:I think it is quite possible that even the course of seemingly unstoppable biospheric and geophysical events, like climate change or the oil spill, could be altered through collective psychic effort, much as indigenous groups like the Hopi used initiatory ritual and trance dances to bring rain down from the sky.
I pray this is the universe’s wager for us: that we will go beyond our current ruts and limitations, that we will manifest a future of imaginative joy by stepping into our potential, becoming the wizards, warriors, and initiates that the world needs so desperately now.0 -

No need to worry. I read there's places in Africa this size accident has been happening yearly for the past half century, it just doesn't get the media attention because its not on our doorstep.. Not that its not bad.
EDIT: After reading that I couldn't help but laugh. It's just a doom and gloom, religious, end of the world 2012 prediction, that has no real science behind it. The sea floor is not going to collapse, vaporize the ocean and it is not going to rain oil.0 -

That's pretty crazy!
Hopefully it remains just a theory. I can't imagaine what a mount St. Helens explosion of oil and methane would do to the world. I'd imagine the gulf coast and Florida would immediately be wiped out by tsunami. That much oil would spread to all the oceans and who knows what that much methane would do to the atmosphere..
Here's to hoping they really do fix this by August.0 -

Is it? There IS a limited supply of oil on Earth and we're near Peak proportions now. Read any science book about it. What do you suppose will happen when the supply of oil left continues to go down? War on oil possession for sure.0 -

wouldn't it be something if it turned out oil played some vital role below the earth's surface?don't compete; coexist
what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

Honestly, the best thing that could happen right now is for that oil to dry up.. unfortunately this thing could leak for our lifetime if not fixed.
It'll stop at some point...
Just the act of deep water drilling is an act of desperation, since all the shallow water drilling is all accounted for. Desperation because it's running out.Pepe Silvia wrote:wouldn't it be something if it turned out oil played some vital role below the earth's surface?0 -

Yeah, but at what point? They think there might be a mountain size worth of oil under there. They are drilling desperately to keep up with raising demand. For the most part, predictions on when we will run out are predictions.0 -

Simple solution: stop depending on the oil now rather than later, when it just might be too late. Why take that chance?
And imagine if there really is a mountain size worth of oil we're watching spill.We're now so much closer to peak oil.0 -

If only it were simple.. I can't think of a way to be completely independent of oil besides moving into the wilderness and living apart from society. Everything you buy and eat has transported using oil.. even bicycle tires and the grease for the chains, production and delivery, all required oil.0 -

the associated press reported:
The oil emanating from the seafloor contains about 40 percent methane, compared with about 5 percent found in typical oil deposits, said John Kessler, a Texas A&M University oceanographer who is studying the impact of methane from the spill.
That means huge quantities of methane have entered the Gulf, scientists say, potentially suffocating marine life and creating "dead zones" where oxygen is so depleted that nothing lives.
"This is the most vigorous methane eruption in modern human history," Kessler said.
