Giant BP (NYSE:BP) Oil Plume Exposed for Hoax it Was

The story of the 21-mile long oil plume, which was allegedly also 65 stories high and a mile wide, keeps on getting better. We asked the question of whether or not it was a hoax on Friday, August 20, and it increasingly looks like it was.

Of course it's being spun a different way this time around, with other scientists saying a "newly discovered fast-eating species of microbes" have leveled the giant skyscraper oil plume.

The original plume was said to be invisible by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts. We won't be listening to their nonsense any longer, as they've lost all credibility.

Even on Friday they said the oil was still out there and the ocean currents had swept it away. Now they're getting in bed with the new story saying it complements their original fairy tale.

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution also said it didn't seem the organisms were eating the oil very quickly either, contradicting today's story.

The New York Times and Washington Post jumped on this story, and we said at that time it's one of the reasons they're declining so much, as it's the story they wanted to hear, rather than actual news.

Once the "scientists" understood the dilemma of having the size of oil plume in the ocean and no one able to find it, the next story had to be created of a new species of microbe that operate at cooler temperatures than previously known.

It's not that something like that couldn't be discovered, but having a different set of scientists create a story which both parties agree "complement" one another is suspicious at best; just as the original story was in its overreach.

Take into consideration the original story was asserted on the day of the House subcommittee hearing on the oil spill, even though Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution said they had made the discovery two months before.

Either they held back the information, created it for Democrat Ed Markey, who heads the committee, in order to pressure the leader of NOAA to capitulate in his original estimate that 75 percent of the oil had left the Gulf, which it indeed has, if not more now.

Markey savaged the NOAA lead scientist based on this faulty information and what could have been a hoax from the beginning.

The bottom line is, as originally stated, the oil has for the most part, been taken care of by the Gulf itself. That seems to trouble the fairy tale narrative some of these so-called scientists created for what appears to be a private agenda.
