Arrow Gulf of Mexico and Post Glacial Rebound

I have found myself here of late coming out from underneath one stone after another.

Have you guys ever heard of "Post Glacial Rebound?"

It is a theory that suspects that all the Ice melting due to the planet being in a warming cycle has displaced the weight from land to sea.

Now I don't know who knows this or not but the earth is not perfectly round as our atmosphere suggests. It is actually king of apple shaped. It took me a while to find a picture that reveals this but I did.



The Earth grew increasingly rounder as it recovered from thousands of years of being squished at the poles by the weight of Ice Age glaciers, an effect scientists refer to as post glacial rebound

The reason it is not perfectly round is because of the weight of the ice pressing down on the land masses in antartica and iceland etc etc.

Well with the ice melting, it displaces not only water but a tremendous amount of weight, if you tried carrying two five gallon buckets of water for any length of time you get the picture that water is heavy.

Though this weight may be evenly distributed along the planet, the land supporting the weight underneath is not evenly sustaining it, some places are not too happy about this added weight, considering they already had more than weight than they could stand as it was. IE the Gulf of Mexico.

Since 1993, sea level has risen at rate of about one inch every eight years, but scientists fear that will speed up

Now with all that weight, already on the Gulf giving it an exact pressure, what is the effect of adding more water and therefore much more pressure?

How much more weight was added to the pressure already on the damn holding back the Oil and gases the past 20 years?

I figure you take the square miles. Figure out the weight of water two inches spread out over those thousands of miles would add up too. And then just maybe you get a concept of what all the to do over "Post Glacial Rebound" is about.

"We've lost 9 Californias worth of ice in the last 3 years alone." Scott

With the Offshore natural gas platform sinks off Venezuela to all the pressure being released as a possible result of the weight has me scratching my head at this theory.

This anomaly is only going to get worse folks. Heck you just had a 100 square mile chunk of ice fall off. Man this ice is falling off that area up there hard core faster than lickity split.

You are losing on average 4 Californias worth of ice now, up there in the antartic. Thats hundreds of trillions of tons of water, this is weight folks...


Then you get this heavy water coming into zones that are actually just causing major, they are going to start new faults.

This is major weight it is going to start busting all the way through down to the strata and spreading this stuff apart.

It has to spread apart in layers ok. The center of the equater is your hot geo-zone for the maximum damage, so everybody in the gulf of mexico start moving the heck up...

Look at where the money is going, its all going above the 40th parallel. Heck the queen of England is investing in Colorado folks. The Money knows, start getting up. Get out of those places...

This is scientific fact not a bunch of hot air... If you can, move up~!!!

Man I've know about it for a long time, and these guys are lying to you... this isn't guess work folks... Your going to see sorrows and tribulations like you've never seen before and this is scientific fact not a bunch of hot air... If you can move up... Move up above the 40th parallel.

Start getting the educated on first aide training. Your the first responders


It only gets worst from here on out. Now get that in your mind, get the shock past you. It only gets worst from here.

Check out what just happened in the middle of a sugar cane field in LA

YouTube - Huge Oil Blowout In Assumption Parish, Louisiana

PAINCOURTVILLE — A blown-out well in Assumption Parish was spewing oil and gas nearly 200 feet into the air Wednesday, and it could be 10 days before crews can cap it, officials said.

Matthew Simmons Is Dead

Matthew Simmons was the go-to oil well expert sent during the Gulf War when Saddam lit the oil wells on fire. He KNOWS what he's talking about!

Bloomberg is reporting Simmons, 67, died in an accidental drowning at his home in Maine, local officials said.

Simmons was the sole industry critic of BP and the governments mismanagement of the oil volcano spewing out approximately 120,000 barrels a day since February.

According to Simmons many interviews the oil spill we have been watching since April, has actually been nothing more than a relief well for the actual spill 7 miles from the well we ahve been watching all this time in BP's look there is nothing in this hand trick.

The spill from the huge crack has now formed a huge lake of oil and gas under the surface of the Gulf.

Oil spill media blackout UPDATE for Tampa, Florida: Gulf oil spill sea floor leak now confirmed

BP has confirmed that there is an oil leak on the sea floor several miles away from the Deepwater Horizon's damaged blowout preventer. The undisclosed specific location of the sub- sea leak is reported to be billowing oil and deadly methane gas.
The huge crack over a hundred feet long and growing was the first well site. Casing and other parts have been found on the ocean floor a short distance from the crack after they where gushed out of it.

BP says Gulf oil seep may not be from its well

Interesting interview telling Gulf coast residents to evacuate....

Simmons was by far the Sole leading critic member of the industry, King of the hill when it came to being someone from the oil industry giving us the other side of the coin as to what is really going on while this administration dances to BP's song and dance of one deception after another.

No doubt there are many other critics in the oil industry, such as shown in one of the videos, but none have this guys track record for getting out there and spreading the message of the actual threat this disaster actually posses on Human life.

This guy actually called for an evacuation of the Gulf Coast. Just last month.

The issue is not a pipe, but a huge crack in the dam that once held back the oil reservoir. Now the oil is as we speak making its way out into the stratum while spreading underground by the pressure of the depths and up to the surface at the shallow end of the pond.

Gulf Oil spill on the verge of triggering the Great Tribulation?






NATO Orders 7,000 US Marines To Costa Rica As Gulf Oil Disaster Quake Fears Grow

NATO Orders 7,000 US Marines To Costa Rica As Gulf Oil Disaster Quake Fears GrowRussian foreign military intelligence directorate (GRU) sources are reporting in the Kremlin today that NATO has ordered over 7,000 US Marines to begin deploying in the Central American Nation of Costa Rica [map 2nd photo left] over fears the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is about to rupture the fracture zone lying between the North American and Caribbean Plates and potentially unleashing upon the America’s a catastrophic earthquake.

As we had previously reported on in our July 4th report titled “NATO Orders All “Critical Assets” Moved 100 Miles Inland From Gulf Oil Spill Region”, NATO’s current Chairman of the Military Committee Admiral Giampaolo Di Paola has taken defacto control over the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster from President Obama who continues to this day leaving this unprecedented catastrophe in the hands of his intelligence services and BP...

Admiral Di Paola’s decision to move these 7,000 US Marines from their American base in North Carolina to Costa Rica, this report continues, is based upon his need to have “viable forces” positioned on either side of the North American and Caribbean Plate Zones should disaster strike.


Under pressure from NATO, Costa Rica this week granted the US military a six-month window to bring the 7,000 Marines, five planes and 46 warships into its territory by a vote of 31-8 vote by its Legislative Assembly with some lawmakers warning that their Nation was giving up its sovereignty.




And in what could possibly be one of the greatest ironies of all time, (and we’re not making this up, check the links) the American government is saying that its rapid movement of these 7,000 US Marines to Costa Rica is to help this Central American Nation “fight drugs”, while at the exact same time it not only refuses to protect its own drug infested border with Mexico, it has actually sued one of its own States for trying to protect it themselves.

Though the US government continues to blackout nearly all the news of this historic catastrophe from reaching the American people, the same cannot be said of the hundreds, if not thousands of this beleaguered Nations citizens who continue their brave mission to inform their fellow citizens of the dire straight they are all facing, such as:

The New Orleans families that traveled at great peril to the Gulf dodging roadblocks to gather their own samples of the water which show the waters are totally poisoned.

A small, but very brave, American woman named Marguerite Cravatt who at 4’11” stood up to a 6’4” police officer trying to stop her from filming one of the many workers falling ill and having to be taken to hospital.

The Sea Shepherd environmental group whose pilots have braved flying over the Gulf in fear of being shot down to document the catastrophic extent of this spill from the air...
