It Begins… Plans to Evacuate Tampa Bay Are Put Into Place
Gateway Pundit ^ | 6-24-10 | Jim Hoft

As Barack Obama continues to golf, hit the ballpark, BBQ and party, the BP oil slick is now threatening Tampa Bay. Authorities have set up plans for evacuation. Veterans Today reported.

As FEMA and other government agencies prepare for what is now being called the worst oil spill disaster in history, plans to evacuate the Tampa Bay area are in place.

The plans would be announed in the event of a controlled burn of surface oil in the Gulf of Mexico, or if wind or other conditions are expected to take toxic fumes through Tampa Bay.

This practice has been used by the US Forestry service, when fire and smoke threaten the health and well being of people.

The elderly and those with respiratory problems would be more susceptible to health risks, in the event of a controlled burn.

Estimates of the rate of BP’s Deepwater Horizon oil spill have varied. Independent scientists now suggest that the true spill rate, before the riser pipe was cut off in June, was between 20,000 and 50,000 barrels a day.

Since the April 20th explosion, which resulted in the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon rig, there have been more than a million gallons of chemicals poured into the Gulf of Mexico in efforts to break up the spill. The chemicals have come under scrutiny because of their own toxic nature.

It is not certain if the massive slick will have to be set on fire near Tampa Bay, but the possibility has not been ruled out.

I am beginning to wonder if the folks in LA are considered expendable like those in Haiti

She is an “insider” and is whistleblowing - NOAA, BP, Gov, are all in it together!!

They could intentionally create an ecological disaster if it seemed to be the means to an end such as government control of the oil or energy industry; creating huge numbers of people newly dependent on government for all basic needs; thinking that at some point, a successful “rescue” of some sort could put them in a good light; creating a situation that would require martial law to maintain order, and on it goes.... your imagination seems fine to me.

Startling Reveletions. More going on in The Gulf Of Mexico Than An Oil Spill!

http://www.blogster.com/joannemor/startling-reveletions-more-going-on-in-the-gulf-of-mexico-than-an-oil-spill

Excerpt:

This administration and many other entities like BP, Citi, Nalco, GM, GE, Goldman Sachs, University of Chicago, holding companies along with Dept of Defense, Billionaires and Politicians are all vested in biofuels.

What is going on in the Gulf is directly related to this new industry.

There is an Algae these companies are interested in.

The Government DOES have a plan - it’s in the EPA regs, Title 40, Chapter 1, Subchapter J, Part 300:

http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=ecfr&sid=4273f9fb83b42a910c3da4b4b1427110&rgn=div6&view=text&node=40:27.0.1.1.1.2&idno=40

So where has all this activity been? Wouldn’t we have heard of this by NOW??

Tampa is not on the trajectory to have OIL on their beaches. But to dismiss the oil that is in other areas in the panhandle is just ridiculous. Tampa IS on the trajectory for dangerous air if they have to burn oil closer to you.

Some people want to act like because it isn’t in front of them, it doesn’t exist.

So we could have oil AND toxic chemical fires? Just lovely....

Has the EPA determined yet if those Millions of gallons of chemicals they added are relatively safe if fire is applied? This is a Circle-J...

“I know it is that bad. I don’t understand why some people here feel compelled to pooh-pooh the damage that has happened already and the damage that is almost certainly to come. This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better.”

Couple reasons come to mind.

1) They`re denying reality, just like libs do.

2) They could`nt care less how much damage is done.

I hate to see what FEMA is going to do to these people who are too poor to take care of themselves and to the communities FEMA decides to invade with the refugees. This is a fricking nightmare for the people of the Gulf.

And what do you propose would be the reason behind creating an enforced evacuation of the gulf states?

I cannot say, except to speculate. There might be a number of reasons. The more disorder, the easier it is to confiscate wealth and control a population.

Obama is not incompetent. In fact, he’s very competent and doing exactly what he wants to do. And that is destroy this nation.

So too, I suppose, that once martial law is declared in ONE area, how much easier it is to make further declarations in other areas --- the domino theory.
