UniversalAgent — May 05, 2010 — Exclusive interview of Zac Zimmerman of Zimmerman Oil reveals little-known fact that the Bureau of Land Management was doing uncharacteristic surprise inspections the day of the oil rig explosion in the gulf, and they were on THAT VERY RIG just 2 HOURS before the disaster started!

This week’s show [Incorrect link. The mp3 of full show is actually HERE – editor] includes my interview with Zac Zimmerman of Zimmerman Oil, who reveals the shocking information that the Bureau of Land Management was conducting a surprise inspection on the Deepwater Horizon just two hours before the oil rig exploded last month. He also discusses the disturbing nature of the armed BLM “SWAT teams” that have been dispatched by the President to inspect the rest of the oil rigs in the Gulf, and the foreboding possibility of a peak oil crisis in the future.

After considerable pressure from the media and government agencies, BP tonight finally released a brief video showing for the first time the gushing stream of oil and gas leaking from the Deepwater Horizon oil rig into the Gulf of Mexico.

The video released by BP shows oil spewing from a broken pipe 5,000 feet (1,500m) below the surface. The stream of crude oil is interspersed with lighter-coloured natural gas.

The video was first posted on YouTube on Wednesday night by the Deepwater Horizon Incident Joint Information Centre, which said: “This video is from the larger of two existing leaks on the riser. This leak is located approximately 460 feet from the top of the blowout preventer and rests on the sea floor at a depth of about 5,000 feet.”

The combined leaks are releasing an estimated 5,000 barrels of oil a day into the Gulf of Mexico.
