    A grim report circulating in the Kremlin today written by Russia’s Northern Fleet is reporting that the United States has ordered a complete media blackout over North Korea’s torpedoing of the giant Deepwater Horizon oil platform owned by the World’s largest offshore drilling contractor Transocean that was built and financed by South Korea’s Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd., that has caused great loss of life, untold billions in economic damage to the South Korean economy, and an environmental catastrophe to the United States.

    Most important to understand about this latest attack by North Korea against its South Korean enemy is that under the existing “laws of war” it was a permissible action as they remain in a state of war against each other due to South Korea’s refusal to sign the 1953 Armistice ending the Korean War.

    To the attack itself, these reports continue, the North Korean “cargo vessel” Dai Hong Dan believed to be staffed by 17th Sniper Corps “suicide” troops left Cuba’s Empresa Terminales Mambisas de La Habana (Port of Havana) on April 18th whereupon it “severely deviated” from its intended course for Venezuela’s Puerto Cabello bringing it to within 209 kilometers (130 miles) of the Deepwater Horizon oil platform which was located 80 kilometers (50 miles) off the coast of the US State of Louisiana where it launched an SSC Sang-o Class Mini Submarine (Yugo class) estimated to have an operational range of 321 kilometers (200 miles).

    On the night of April 20th the North Korean Mini Submarine manned by these “suicidal” 17th Sniper Corps soldiers attacked the Deepwater Horizon with what are believed to be 2 incendiary torpedoes causing a massive explosion and resulting in 11 workers on this giant oil rig being killed outright. Barely 48 hours later, on April 22nd , this North Korean Mini Submarine committed its final atrocity by exploding itself directly beneath the Deepwater Horizon causing this $1 Billion oil rig to sink beneath the seas and marking 2010’s celebration of Earth Day with one of the largest environmental catastrophes our World has ever seen.

    To the reason for North Korea attacking the Deepwater Horizon, these reports say, was to present US President Obama with an “impossible dilemma” prior to the opening of the United Nations Review Conference of the Parties to the Treat on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) set to begin May 3rd in New York.

    This “impossible dilemma” facing Obama is indeed real as the decision he is faced with is either to allow the continuation of this massive oil leak catastrophe to continue for months, or immediately stop it by the only known and proven means possible, the detonation of a thermonuclear device.

    Russian Navy atomic experts in these reports state that should Obama choose the “nuclear option” the most viable weapon at his disposal is the United States B83 (Mk-83) strategic thermonuclear bomb having a variable yield (Low Kiloton Range to 1,200 Kilotons) which with its 12 foot length and 18 inch diameter, and weighing just over 2,400 pounds, is readily able to be deployed and detonated by a remote controlled mini-sub.

    Should Obama choose the “nuclear option” it appears that he would be supported by the International Court of Justice who on July 8, 1996 issued an advisory opinion on the use of nuclear weapons stating that they could not conclude definitively on these weapons use in “extreme circumstances” or “self defense”.

    On the other hand, if Obama chooses the “nuclear option” it would leave the UN’s nuclear conference in shambles with every Nation in the World having oil rigs off their coasts demanding an equal right to atomic weapons to protect their environment from catastrophes too, including Iran.

    To whatever decision Obama makes it remains a fact that with each passing hour this environmental catastrophe grows worse. And even though Obama has ordered military SWAT teams to protect other oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico from any further attack, and further ordered that all drilling in the Gulf of Mexico be immediately stopped, this massive oil spill has already reached the shores of America and with high waves and more bad weather forecast the likelihood of it being stopped from destroying thousands of miles of US coastland and wildlife appears unstoppable.

    And not just to the environmental catastrophe that is unfolding the only devastation to be wrecked upon the United States and South Korea by this North Korean attack as the economic liabilities associated with this disaster are estimated by these Russian reports to be between $500 Billion to $1.5 Trillion, and which only a declaration of this disaster being an “act of war” would free some the World’s largest corporations from bankruptcy.

    Important to note too in all of these events was that this was the second attack by North Korea on its South Korean enemy, and US ally, in a month as we had reported on in our March 28th report titled “Obama Orders ‘Immediate Stand-down’ After Deadly North Korean Attack” and which to date neither the Americans or South Korea have retaliated for and giving one senior North Korean party leader the courage to openly state that the North Korean military took “gratifying revenge” on South Korea.

    And for those believing that things couldn’t get worse, they couldn’t be more mistaken as new reports coming from Japanese military sources are stating that North Korea is preparing for new launches of its 1,300 kilometer (807 miles) intermediate range ballistic “Rodong” missile which Russian Space Forces experts state is able to “deploy and detonate” an atomic electromagnetic pulse (EMP) device, and which if detonated high in the atmosphere could effectively destroy the American economy for years, if not decades, to come.

    No,

    There were some unique witnesses. Four guys were fishing UNDER the Horizon rig when the problems started, but were able to crank-up and get away before the explosions.

    Their close-up, eye-witness accounts are not consistent with the "sub attack" theory.

    Ummmm the two dudes fishing, and have pictures prove there wasn't a torpedo. If there was those two dudes would've been blown out of the water.

    From what I understand the gas pressure was underestimated when calculating the density of the drilling mud used to backfill the well when they were trying to close it. The gas pressure built up and blew back through the well causing it to spew out. A friend of mine who works for ExxonMobil said he's seen it before (not at this magnitude) and with the amount of Methane gas and crude oil blowing through the top of the well even static electricity in air could ignite it.

    I seriously doubt it was the Koreans.... Although, I'm still not convinced it wasn't green-peace.

    WHY would anyone even consider this ********. Under no circumstances does it make any sense.

    When I first read the mini sub story there were no other explinations out, it didn't sound so far out considering 911,

    I kept looking........found out it was all crap about the mini sub

    Ck this out

    O.k. folks I will put to rest that anything other then a tragedy occured. The failures are a sequence we don't yet fully understand. What I know with certainty is the operation when things went tragic. The voiding of gas from a Riser is our largest fear. I have witnessed and survived it one time and pray not to see it again. I have also worked on a wild well team for 8 months. A gas blow out can ignite with the push of a button. I have seen gas blow outs that never catch fire. It is very likily that the seal assembly for their last casing run failed. This would allow gas from the back side of the casing to be released into the riser. Gas expansion occurs at a rapid rate. At some point the pressure of the gas bubble over comes the hydrostatic pressure of the riser column. This leads to a rapid swap of fluid for gas. This would void the riser of fluid (loss of hydrostatic pressure that controls the well bore) and allow the well to flow uncontroled (blow out). We have a circulating system that would now fill with gas vs fluid. Actions that we understand took place would have to be perfect to gain control at this point. It is clear to us that failures took place at this time that doomed the rig. I have had to stop typing a couple of times because this makes me cry. The men that would have performed the displacement (my job) were trapped like rats with no hope to come out alive. The Horizon rig design would place guys where there is no way out. Sad thing is many rigs have the same design.

    Now back to what actions I know they took. When the gas swap occured in the riser the Diverter was opened. The diverter is designed to give gas a path out to the side of the rig. This volume had to be such that the system could not handle it. Depending on the sequence of events the shears perhaps should have been closed at the first sign of gas to the riser. When the diverter was hit the Blind Super Shear rams should have been activated. The blind shears stop all added flow from the well bore. This did not take place (big question).

    Now with gas and oil to the surface space are filling with gas any spark and it's now a fire. The first exposion. Once the first explosion occures anyone on the drill floor is dead. The B.O.P.panel on the drill floor is destroyed. The remote panel in the living Quarters will only work for seconds if at all. Fire is burning the control lines that send the signal to the sea floor. Now with no controls the well comes on line full force (the second explosion). All hope for shutting the well in from the rig is lost. You can not disconnect the rig from the sea bed. The rig will burn down with in 15 seconds the derrick is gone. Men are loading boats and jumping into the water to save their lives I have talked with two that made the 68' jump.. Fear and panic rule.

    Question why did the failsafe shut in on the B.O.P. not work?

    No one blew this Rig up. There were failures that took place. We have lost our work mates. We will figure it out like we always do.

    Gas and Oil come at alot higher price then these companies can ever pay us. Today I will share with the kids on my rig the reality that they are just now looking at. I will speak to them after our weekily fire and abandon drill. Their attitude will be adjusted with my tears. More then the tears my harsh reality is that what we do can and will kill men. I will no doubt have some choose not to come back offshore; God bless them. God bless and allow each of us that stays to remember the Deepwater Horizon and never fail to do our jobs.

    At this time, I cannot go into specifics; but your friend is partially right on a few issues...

    We all know NK has spy ships and subs but how far does anyone think they actually go out to sea? Far enough to harrass Japan and South Korea maybe?

    I very seriously doubt a NK sub has ever been in the Gulf of Mexico ever.
