BP Houdini: Perhaps Vladimir Lenin was Right about Western Media

►BP to permanently 'bottom kill' Macondo oil well tomorrow

Remember the BP oil spill story? Talk about pulling a Houdini!

It was a full-throttle, 24/7 all-out attack on BP and the oil industry for political expediency as long as Obama and his political operatives in the media were able to keep it going. All they needed were two necessary ingredients: fear and chaos, and one word: "plume."

"Plume" was the political buzzword of the moment and it spread fast. Faster than the "plume" itself. It had to be a bad "plume" not something that could be confused with a good "plume" on the surface. Is there such a thing as a "plume" on the surface? Oil on the surface is a good thing.

No, this was an underwater "plume" the size of Manhattan, and it was headed right for us. It was going to wreck coastal communities, destroy the fishing industries and the economy; it was going to make Valdez appear as if it were something that could be wiped up in one swoop with a paper towel.

This had to be something big, something really, really big. It had to be something that would take us decades, if ever, to recover. Nothing on this planet would ever be the same again. You couldn't even run for the hills. Not even a black and white Godzilla in slow motion could cause this much damage to Tokyo. 

The stage was set and Obama took full advantage of this great political opportunity to shut down oil drilling in the gulf. The longer he was able to sustain fear and chaos the better his chances were to enforce the moratorium even when the courts said no.

Obama and the media succeeded, and his moratorium on drilling in the gulf has caused more harm to the coastal communities, to the fishing industry and to the economy than the "plume" had.

BP representatives were grilled in interviews that were agenda-driven and meant only to create animosity and disdain toward BP and the oil industry.

This video of the "plume" is beneath the dignity of responsible journalism. It is destructive and misleading. It is angry, condescending and clearly an attempt to create fear and catastrophic news where none exist. In the interviews, the media would not accept the BP representative's answers who, frankly, had no answers for the false information and false premise put to them in the interviews.

Take a look.

They validate Vladimir Lenin with hero-like status. Perhaps they should be reminded that Lenin also coined the term,"Useful Idiots" when describing Western reporters who would endorse the Soviet Union's policies in the West. 

Suddenly, out of nowhere, the "plume" could not be found. As much as the media tried to defend the "plume's" existence as if it were Big Foot, it was determined that the oil had been "eaten up" by the vast waters and microbes of the gulf, as was predicted by people who knew better like BP engineers, not the arm-chair scientists.

In this video the oil is supposed to linger for years.

BP personnel said it was light crude from the outset, but nobody reported that or wanted to accept it. As soon as the hoax was uncovered that the "plume" was never a threat, word went out to political operatives to stand down at once. Obama no longer needed it and the media buried the story.

The "Zeus-like" university scientists that were used in the first video to disregard any kind of explanation BP tried to put forth were clearly proven wrong, and as usual out of their league.

Well, not really, but they have the same motives using the same political operatives in the media to help pull off these kind of things.

So, BP is prepared to permanently shut down the well today symbolic, if you will, to the "shut-down" of the reporting.

In the end, however, Obama and the media-created apocalypse-that-never-was accomplished the goal that their "plume" could not.

Perhaps Vladimir Lenin was right about Western media.
