A new and less well known asymmetric threat has surfaced in the Gulf of Mexico oil gusher. Methane or CH4 gas is being released in vast quantities in the Gulf waters. Seismic data shows huge pools of methane gas at the location immediately below and around the damaged “Macondo” oil well. Methane is a colourless, odourless and highly flammable substance which forms a major component in natural gas. This is the same gas that blew the top off Deepwater Horizon and killed 11 people. The “flow team” of the US Geological Survey estimates that 2900 cubic feet of natural gas, which primarily contains methane, is being released into the Gulf waters with every barrel of oil. The constant flow of over 50000 barrels of crude oil places the total daily amount of natural gas at over 145 million cubic feet. So far, over 8 billion cubic feet may have been released, making it one of the most vigorous methane eruptions in modern human history. If the estimates of 100000 barrels a day — that have emerged from a BP internal document — are true, then the estimates for methane gas release might have to be doubled. Video Rating: 5 / 5

www.helium.com — If you have loved ones in the states around the gulf of Mexico, (Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Carolinas) please send this to them ASAP! They need to understand what is happening! I don’t even want to think of what’s gonna happen when they nuke it! I remember Benjamin Fulfords words: “The Illuminati will be trying to carry out new atrocities. Since they are sun-worshippers, people need to be especially wary around the time of the June 21st summer solstice when sacrifices involving fire are required by their belief system. The explosion of missing South African nuclear weapons and the possible torching of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill are two scenarios to be wary of but this is only conjecture. Who knows what they might try next.” benjaminfulford.blog.shinobi.jp/ God bless.. Video Rating: 4 / 5
