How Many Oil Plumes are in the Gulf? - The U.S. Government Challenge (ask them with me) Updating

6/9 6:35pm CT - Further updates are made in "Comments" to this article.

6/9 1022am CT - I just got off the phone with Lt. Budaio of the Deepwater Horizon Unified Command. He stated that the U.S. Geological Survey had confirmed that there are numerous oil plumes off the coast of Texas, also Florida. These have been investigated and they are identified as naturally occurring. One of them is quite large, three feet in diameter.

These fissures tend to increase after earthquakes, explained the Lieutenant. There may be as many as twenty or thirty plumes of oil, of various sizes, but none are approaching the volume of the Deepwater Horizon disaster's gusher.

Asked if this number of fissures is unusual, he said it was not.

At the Deepwater site: Lt. Budaio stated that he knows of no significant oil leaks outside the one barrel-shaped leaking pipe joint, which has been partially capped. This is the one in the videos.

My name, telephone number, and email address have been given to BP by Lt. Budaio, with the request that they reply immediately, to confirm information about the leaks. He would not give a separate number for BP and did not pass me through at that moment, telling me there was a change-over of personnel at the time.

If I do not get an immediate response from BP, which, frankly, I do not expect, I will try to contact them, through the telephone number I last listed in this article's comments. I will be available to do this only sporadically though the middle of the day, but intend to pursue and to ask other questions when and if I speak with a representative of British Petroleum plc.

6/9 am - See comments to this post, for progress. Please call too, but I have posted better telephone numbers in the comments.

6/8 - Tomorrow morning, Wednesday, June 9th, I intend to ask the U.S. federal government this question:

How many oil plumes are there in the Gulf of Mexico - how many leaks?

I ask you to do the same. I will report my results. Please report yours, in the comments to this post. This is not about how many plumes that private sources have found. It is about how many leaks does the United States government know exist. They have had since April 20, to discover this. They should be able to tell us, should they not? And if they can tell us that, perhaps they can give us their coordinates on the globe. How close or far are they, from each other? And if they can tell us that, perhaps they can tell us what they are coordinating, to stop them. Right?

Have You Seen this Man? - The Hunt for William Craig Fugate - Updated

How is it, we have a U.S. President who is taking over the United States' economy, but who leaves it up to BP plc (a foreign company) to fumble and stumble with this U.S. and World crisis?
More Alinsky-Cloward-Piven?

Original post, 6/1/2010

We repeat, his name is William Craig Fugate. This may be his photo. If he needs it, we are willing to give it back.

Mr. Fugate is believed to be the Administrator of the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under Barack Obama and Janet Napolitano.

Therefore, he might be seen either in the vicinity of Washington, D.C., or call it a hunch, the Gulf of Mexico.

Please report to Investigating Obama, if you have any word of his whereabouts or his doings. There appears to be an emergency in the Gulf that he should know about.

Where's Fugie?

Update - I'm getting some feedback that the Gulf Gusher may not be in Fugate's job descrip'. Now, I'm a small-government, federalist kind of guy, but shouldn't he sort of be preparing Gulf Coast folks for bad things that could come, over the next two or three months, if we pay him for that? And I am told we also have something called an "Environmental Protection Agency." Hm....

Update 2 - Did William Craig Fugate ever make it out to Tennessee, to check out all that flood stuff? Too busy collecting big, six or seven foot long, sealable plastic bins? America wants to know. Well, many who actually know about America.

Update 3 - 6/4, 2:33pm The beaches and estuaries are getting hit hard, today. Where is FEMA? Where is the massive government effort to guard the shores? Where are the berms? Is Obama enjoying his second trip?

And as for the news media, are you old enough to remember when they covered the space program well? Remember their models and scientists' explanations? Where is that, about the current attempt to cap and pump the gusher?

And about the space program back in the day, compared to government effectiveness now, you may wish to see, "The Chasm between Apollo and the Gulf; There is no valid analogy between the Gulf spill and Apollo 13," by Dr. H. Harrison Schmitt, former Apollo astronaut, former U.S. Senator, geologist. (h/t: Richard Wright)

Update 4 - 6/4, 3:53pm Barack Obama is on television, now. He's talking a lot. To the media, I mean. He does exhibit the Alinsky, Cloward-Piven model here, of blaming and haranguing BP, the latest "capitalist" straw man to "isolate," as the massive "disruption" continues. Never waste a good crisis.
