New oil spill in Gulf near BP disaster: Matt Simmons BP conspiracy claims true? - National Political Spin | Examiner.com

While there have been no new reports of damaged oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, a massive oil slick has been spotted just twenty miles from the site of last year's BP Deepwater Horizon disaster.The half-mile wide, hundred-mile long oil slick was reported by local residents who spotted it on Saturday, according to the Times-Picayune.
During the early stages of the 2010 BP Gulf oil spill, there were confirmed reports of three leaks at the BP Macondo well site. One was plugged within a week. The second was finally capped five months later, after pouring 4.9 million barrels of oil and a million gallons of chemical dispersant into the Gulf of Mexico.
The third leak was largely ignored by the media. However, oil industry expert, Matt Simmons claimed that the third leak, located about 5 miles from the Macondo well, was the “elephant behind the mouse.”
Simmons died unexpectedly on August 8th, 2010. The circumstances surrounding his death suggest to some people that he may have been assassinated for being a whistle blower during the BP oil spill.
The US Coast Guard has confirmed reports of the oil spill, and has sent samples to a laboratory for testing to confirm the signature of the substance.

Oil also washing up on Pensacola beach and on shores in LA.
I posted this last night with a Bloomberg link.

No one seems to care..I guess the oil spill is "so yesterday" along with the Japanese nuke problem.
All eyes are on Libya today.

Does this mean that no radiation is going to reach the U.S.?

I just think it's too much of a coincidence this would happen at the same time were lobbing cruise missiles at Libya to defend big Euro bankers oil interests....

Our government is in bed with em and they seem hell bent on implementing the 666

I see, you think the Coast Guard confirms the assassination of the "whistle blower"?

The Coast Guard is investigating a fisherman's report of an apparent oil spill "several miles" long near Venice, Louisiana, a Coast Guard spokesman said Wednesday.
