Hi SilentlyKnowing. Great thread. I usually hang on the bezerk thread, which covers much of the ground you are interested in too.

We all have our respective theories, and one I'm leaning towards is the series of Earth changes predicted by Edgar Cayce, and more recently Gordon Michael Scallion. There is also the Navy Future Map of the USA. All three share a very similar layout, showing the Great lakes joining the Gulf of Mexico.

It's a huge 'join' and nothing realistically could have that occurring within the time frames suggested.

Until deep drilling, fracking, and now super fracking zones came in to the realm of today's language.

My personal views on the 'why' of it are a little outside the scope of your thread, and I will respect that, and concentrate on factors I think are part of your discussion.

But I will mention that oil, and recovery of oil from currently difficult areas, in the turbulent deep waters are a part of it.

As you have pointed out, the DWH, and Macondo site have resulted in a multiple collapse event, involving unstable strata, a collapsed salt dome, a tar volcano, and ridiculously over pressurised oil, tar and mud.

Not far beneath the sea bed (figuratively) are the layers of frozen methylhydrates that form part of the mix of the bed. And until recently, have been quite stable.

With the DWH disaster, splitting of the bed, rupturing of the dome, and melting of the methylhydrates - we have an increasingly unstable strata in an area with over 28,000 drill holes, wells, capped wells, pipeline connected wells, reserves, dead bores etc. Plus salt domes and massive aquifers, both deep and closer to shore.

It's a pin cushion.

The entire area is propped up by salt, and methyhydrates.

The melting methyhydrates turn to water and methanic gasses, and the cavity allows water ingress, and travel, through a previously solid strata. Oil and tar is also able to travel where once it was contained.

IMHO, it has taken nearly 3 years for enough of the interconnected domes and MH layers to melt, collapse, dissolve and merge since the DWH issue to the point it is appearing on land. (let alone back out in the Gulf and towards Mexico)

The methane bubbles at Assumption are the melting MH, and the oil found at the Napoleonville dome has the same finger print as that of DWH.

Explained and forgotten early on by the spin doctors, as the "site where they placed recovered oil from the shore line clean up". Very coincidental that...

Its the same finger print because its the same oil.

DWH/Macondo and Assumption are physically connected.

I stopped referring to the Napoleonville dome 'sinkhole' as a sinkhole, as it isn't one. It's a dome collapse, and the subtle difference means a great deal with regards liability of corporations. A sink hole is a natural event. A dome collapse connected back to Macondo and BP is not.

The small pockets of fracked lands years ago are now interconnected super fracked areas. A map of the US shows just how interconnected, and curiously a belt can be seen connecting the Great Lakes and the GoM. (I guess you see what you want to see.. LOL)

But it now makes sense how a new water way could connect the two, where as 10 years ago and earlier it wasn't clear at all.

The end result of a new water way would be an annexation of certain states, and likely a totally new series of unites states, maybe even a country.

The new 'system' of current flow, would also have drastic effects on the world's weather and ocean currents.

I'm betting many turbulent deep water areas would be drastically effected, to the point where they become almost stagnant waters.

It's a theory anyway. Or rather a series of theories.

But it seems very planned to me, one domino after the next.

Poppin you in my favourites OP. By all means pop on to bezerk and say g'day some time!
