Update on the OIL Plumes in the Gulf of Mexico etc.

Hi Everyone, a few days ago, I was given information, which started during a meditation about the situation in the Gulf of Mexico, as the "leaks" are still going strong. The information was shocking and I was shown (inside my head) a rough map of a massive, massive "plume" that has formed.  The plumb is in the Sigsbee deep and the area to the right of it. http://www.worldatlas.com/aatlas/infopage/gulfofmexico.htm for a basic image of the Gulf of Mexico.  The Sigsbee deep is the deepest portion of the Gulf, but using Google Maps, I was able to discern that whole central deep area is from over 1.5 miles up to about 2.3 miles deep.  It was important for me to check what I was given before posting to make sure there are areas of the Gulf deep enough for the information I was given. There are.  OK, Here's the size of this "plume" of oil.

400 MILES long, running roughly west to east.  80 MILES wide, north to south, and really shocking 2 MILES thick.  This will fit in the area above.  The nature of the Gulf Currents has forced a lot of the oil into this area, because of the use of the Dispersants, such as the Corexit.  It has "settled" into this deep area because it cannot exit between Florida and Cuba into the Atlantic.  It is both more shallow there, plus the dispersants that cause the settling in the first place.  This is a MONSTER problem and it's a LOT of OIL and other compounds.

Now the Cstars site hasn't put up any new satellite images since August 18.  And sometimes when they did update, they would days later at new images to previous updates, and this did occur with this link below on August 11.  You can see the huge amount of oil on the coast of Texas along Galveston Bay area, for proof the oil is wondering west, in a big way.

Article below talks about how deadly the plumes can be for small species of plankton etc.

August 28th:  Images of foam taken near Ocean Springs Mississippi. If the oil well is "capped" and 75% of the oil gone, why still the spraying of dispersants?  I posted something fairly recently on this, how it's going on at night, and the purpose to keep sinking the stuff.

Posted August 17, good summary article. http://blog.alexanderhiggins.com/2010/08/17/uncovering-lies-toxic-oil-dispersants-bp-gulf-oil-spill-waters-opened-fishing-3064/

Biloxi Volcano undersea which is also leaking big time.
