  • If there was a Nobel prize for energy, Matt Simmons would have won a long time ago.

  • BP is leasing 2 wells at MC252 watch this video shows both wells via BP rovers with different depths and latiude/longitude. Before the last tropical storm they were focused on well A which exploded.

  • I agree with "BP is leasing 2 wells at MC252 watch this video shows both wells via BP rovers with different depths and latiude/longitude. Before the last tropical storm they were focused on well A which exploded."

  • his death doesnt give him any more credibility. the dispersant worked better than expected. there is still an enormous amount of tragedy and loss.

  • eld a huge short position in BP stock. He was increasing his short position at the SAME TIME he was being called by CNBC and friends to give an "unbiased expert opinion." If you can't see that Simmons was using his media loudspeaker to panic the markets/ line his own back pocket, then you're as blind as an oil-covered pelican.

  • @meushubris I have looked at the facts but you obviously have not. Matt Simmons lied about everything he said about BP. Now, a year later, look at the facts. No massive "pool" of oil in Gulf, no need to nuke the hole, no Ch. 11 bankruptcy within 30 days, no enormous second leak 5-10 miles away from the Horizon site, no third leak 30 miles away from the site, no unrecoverable ecological disaster destroying the entire Gulf of Mexico. These were all lies screamed by Simmons. Why?

    Because he h

  • God bless Matt....he was one of many to motivate me to prepare my family for Peak Oil and now my life is actually more enjoyable....

  • i strongly suspectmatt simmons was killed/suicided for daring to reveal the truth about the spill.

  • Professional investment analysts don’t trade the investments they report on in order to remain objective. Could Simmons say the same about the companies involved in the Gulf spill? He held short positions on these companies and stood to profit from the devaluation of their stock. Given the platform he commanded as a make-believe financial journalist, this was HIGHLY UNETHICAL of him.

  • @majarnag Goldman Sachs shorted BP stock before this event and also shorted UAL stock shortly before the 9-11 incident. Professional investment analysts such as what is on CNBC are the worst of the scum.

  • @majarnag He probably shorted BP as peak oil is tightening its grip on the US. On the other hand Goldman did it because of foreknowledge of the oil spill event.

  • @majarnag do you just search for matt simmons videos bashing him, or how about discussing the evidence and issues he brought about this crime.

  • @ jimbobubbadj You're just a shill for COMEX silver. Pawn your 90 Proof Bull somewhere else cause no one's buying any.

  • @majarnag Why has silver been going up in price if no one is buying any? How can I be a shill for comex silver when I want to collapse the comex and wipe out JPMorgan?

  • Simmons was ousted from his firm due to credibility issues. Blatant conflict of interest with his 8000 short position on BP. Losing that short position and a pending SEC investigation was too much for the old SOB.

  • @majarnag How interesting it is that JPMorgan has 3 billion naked shorts against silver on the comex and nothing is done while Simmons gets the wrap.

  • Why have we not heard anything else about the oil spill regarding this information that Mr. simmons leaked. I hate to hear about the chemicals used to sink the oil but I believe someone should be looking into what Mr. Simmons said. Is there no longer any honest people who work in the media. People always say Fox is honest and the biggest truth tellers. Fox has never said a word about the spill except early in the spill and that was not much.

  • @amyalewine I've heard reports that there is still some oil leaking. I need to be more certain before I post any info on it.

  • SO FUNNY HOW IT ALL DISAPPEARED FROM THE MEDIA

  • 100 years from now when this all plays out. You will go down as a hero Matt. Didn't think they'd kill you too

  • RIP Matthew Simmons

  • his death doesnt give him any more credibility. the dispersant worked better than expected. there is still an enormous amount of tragedy and loss.

  • @gregmckinna you really need to do your research the dispersant there using is just causing the oil to go to the bottom of the sea bed thats it ! its not disappearing and its full of harmful chemicals so anyway it goes the gulf is fucked!

  • His death gives him so much more credibility now

  • RIP Matt Simmons 

  • Never really knew who he was but R.I.P

  • When will people say enough is enough? this death was no accident, he was murdered in cold blood, you don't have to be a genius to figure that out...

  • NWO claims another life... when will people say enough is enough? DO YOU SEE WHERE THESE PEOPLE ARE TAKING THIS WORLD, WAKE THE FUCK UP BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

  • It's obvious he was murdered. To much of a coincidence for the guy who has been the most outspoken against BP and very good at exposing their lies to just suddenly die.

  • RIP Matt, didin't think they'd kill you.

  • R.I.P to Matt... those killers will die.

  • BP is leasing 2 wells at MC252 watch this video shows both wells via BP rovers with different depths and latiude/longitude. Before the last tropical storm they were focused on well A which exploded.

    after the storm they came back and capped well B. Well A is still leaking and the news has never mentioned that there are TWO wells.

    BrainChild Out

  • Matt Simmons died yesterday. There are conflicting reports of causes of death. One says heart attack. Another says he "drowned" in his bathtub.... hmmm a little suspicious eh? Especially since BP recently plugged the cap.

  • its very convenient for him to just die. Matt Simmons is a fact guy and he speaks the truth. I'm very saddened to see him pass away. Very saddened.

  • This footage really needs more exposure right now.

  • rip

  • nwo murdered this guy

  • R.I.P Matt 

  • Weird MATT SIMMIONS is no longer alive.. after his whistle blowing

  • is it weird that matt simmons is no longer alive....??

  • BY MURDERING HIM - THEY JUST GAVE HIS STORY CREDIBILITY!

  • suicided

  • Well I have to say it, they chose the deep south to poison because people are just too sheepish, conservative and inactive to care. I cant see any of them protesting anything....just damn hippies do that. Poor silly sods.

  • RIP Matthew Simmons.

    

  • Rest In Peace

  • Heart attack, or drowning.........whatever happened , the cause of death would not be "announced" until an autopsy was completed. That would have been tommorrow. It is an accident, a sudden death that becomes an ME call.

  • @80Spill LOL

  • Yes it's creepy that this guy just recently died. Let's also remember both these guy have said in this video - - - "I think" blah , blah , blah this and blah , blah , blah that. At this moment in time none of us have any absolute as to what the truth is here as to what's really going on. I do hope and pray it really is fixed. Especially for those family's that make their living from the fishing industry.

  • HE WAS FOUND DEAD!!!!!

  • Search "CIA heart attack gun"

  • The timing of this heart attack is very suspicious indeed.

    I think a message is being sent to anyone who will DARE criticize BP!

  • Somebody should send a supertanker down into that fat f***'s circulatory system with an 18" flange and suck out all the cholsterol in there, we won't have to worry about peak oil. Oh, and the other schmuck died in his hot tub. These two jerks were like Ed Yourdon back in 1999 telling us that the world was going to end because of Y2K.

  • Today..August 9, 2010...The top critic (Matt Simmons) to the proposed " top kill" to stop the oil spill

    just died a few hours ago, mysteriously drowned... Prior to this, he also shorted BP..Is BP bancrupt?

  • @MrArtrigor What do you mean shorted BP? And anyone know what is the current situation of BP or any new interviews have been done like george noory or something coz i am not sure whats going on at this point. The MSM has complete back out!!

  • This guy died of a heart attack last night.....

  • they NWO killed Matt Simmons... whoa, they suicided him. damn!

  • @Zurnmusic Wow, so it was the new world order that killed him. I thought the CIA killed him with that dart thingy that brings on a hearty attack

  • R.I.P. Matt Simmons.

  • ..how about the hundres of thousands of fissures that are spewing oil? no one talks of that... i wonder why.

  • Chairman "Emer-I-tus"? Emer-I-tus?

    Ratigan = Rat-I-gan = I-DI-OT.

  • Fuck all Americans who vote Democrat and Republican. The separation of government and business has been on the ballot since 1971. It's called The Libertarian Party. I mean, if you want corporatism, and you want the CEO of Goldman Sachs to own BP, and have a "get out of jail free card" from the US Government, then go ahead, and allow the licensing of lawyers, and a corporate veil for the biggest financial players in the world. Then, allow them to print the money we all use... LOL

  • The elite rule the world. The poor, minorities, oppressed, working class are totally screwed. Hopefully Bill Gates and the other billionaires can jump onboard with the working class, oppressed, and save the world from the GREEDY BUZZARDS what are killing us all. All religions, get on your knees, pray, and then DROP your religious differences, color / nationality differences, and HEAL THE WORLD via ACTIVE RESISTANCE against the DESTROYERS. (BP, etc).

  • And now, today, they tell us about the other leak. Matt was right again! Just as with peak oil.

    I bought his book in 2007 and became a "believer".

  • Simmons has completely blown his credibility w/ this gibberish.

  • @MSKonings How so?

  • @MSKonings why?

  • another clear proof of failure of the government.

  • Search: matt simmons oil spill and sort after date. watch interview called (6 parts):

    TruNews Interview of Matt Simmons-BP Oil Crisis June 2010 youtube.com/watch?v=sAHyIn43iX­o

    Matt Simmons is one of the most respected guys in the oil industry with a lot of contacts to the ones that are in the know. I don't think he's lying.

  • Americans need to wake up .. English are under control and soon under UN troops ... Obama is a puppet of the New World Order ..¡¡

    Please WAKE UP ¡¡

  • Alright, someone just call Chuck Norris already and be done with all this shit, I'm tired of hearing about it.

  • I have my doubts about Matt Simmons,he confuses diameter with circumference of the pipe and he mentions that there are other leaks from the sea floor 7 miles away...

    How does he know that other than reading about some ship that located some underwater oil which may have just floated from he well site?

    What's the exact location in lat / lon of these cracks that are leaking?

    He's full of shit.

  • they need to do something and do something fast before this gets any worse then it already is.

  • i clicked on the little soccer ball thingy whenever Obama spoke, it was quite funny  =)

  • Proof that Matt Simmons is crazy.

  • I dont think anyone realises what has happened here. We have had a catostrophic break in the earths crust, some say caused by the LHC in Switzerland. The sinkhole that appeared in China is on the exact oppostie side of the world to the gulf leak. This was not a broken rig, that is what the government is saying until they figure out what to really tell us. I have studied many oil rig leaks in the past, there is not one drilling operation in the world that could leak the amount this has so fast.

  • @ausdiv Wow really? I'm sorry what is the LHC? Did they ever say what the sinkhole in China was caused by?

  • @morningmayan The LHC is the Large Hadron Collider, the largest particle accelerator in the world. The scientists at CERN began to crank up the collider to levels they had never before right before both events happened, and reached full power on the 17th May, the same day that seismographs measured tremors all over the earth. You decide for yourself.....

  • BP’s ruptured well could flow for 25 to 30 years at a rate of 120,000 barrels a day. When the hurricanes arrive, the hurricane will blow this oil on shore and it will basically paint the Gulf Coast black and it will shut down the refineries, the power plants and it will be America’s worst catastrophe nightmare.

    Goldman Sachs sold 44% of their total holdings, 4,680,822 shares of BP stock in the first quarter of 2010. Goldman Sachs earned about $ 266 million on the sale.

  • Blame Obama

  • When these mother fuckers are looking worried its time to start shitting yourself.

  • I have the solution to the Oil Spill. I need you to help forward my videos into the hands of every one of your friends and/or someone at the White House or BP. Thank You, my solution will work NO DOUBT. Please Help before all Sea life dies out in the Gulf of Mexico. GET INVOLVED NOW! Go watch my videos on my home page (in two parts) now and pass on to everyone you know. Solving this leak will require your help and all you need to do is forward this video, it isn’t much to ask! 225-718-8830

  • this is just SO fucked up.

  • why dont they just nuke it?

  • @oldstickbow Nukes might make matters much worse.

    Right now it's coming up from the pipe and a few other places.

    If a nuclear blast fractures the strata further it would mean 10 times the oil flow than is happening now.

  • Anyone leaving America? mind if I hitch a ride out

  • @DarkFoot25 can i go to

  • Oil is not the only thing that is spoiled,

    we spoil everything,

    and we are most spoiled ourselves...

  • Matt Simmons is very reputable, and when he says something, you better believe it....and yet here it is, June 12th, and nothing has been done that needs to be done. Fug BP, we need to get the govt on this, and they need to be listening to people like Matt Simmons.

    I shudder to think of what's going to happen when the first hurricane hits, because that shit is still going to be spewing.

  • Watch This Video Called:

    GULF SPILL - URGENT INFORMATION

  • So there is a secondary plume 6 miles from the live shot that we have been seeing, which is just the broken end of the riser (which is the "tube" which takes the oil up to the rig). The rig blew up, sank, and pulled the riser across the sea bed. The actual well head on the bottom of the sea floor has been venting since the explosion and we've never seen pictures of that. We need to get in there with our Navy and engineers, and use tactical nukes to seal the bedrock.

  • I wish people would just stop pointing fingers and just fix the problem and settle their differences later. Very disappointed in Obama, the first thing he comes out and says after this disaster is "Not my fault". Come on man!! you can't blame everything on Bush lol. You been office long enough that you could put the oil companies in their place. The blame game is getting old!!!!!! My home and job are in the hands of BP and Obama? Now thats a scary thought!

  • Obama needs to order BP to listen to the American oil men in this video. BP can play around with fixing the problem, but we should be in charge of caring for our precious ecosystem. What are you thinking Obama?

  • Mother earth is bleeding.

  • @supervirtuouswoman You sure Mother Earth just hasnt got a bad case of diarrhoea?

  • @supervirtuouswoman mother earth is a tough bitch and some oil spill isnt gonna mess much up. remember, one super volcano could kill all life on earth. the planet is incredibly powerful and capable of wiping us all out at any time. all life is a gift, a passing gift. nearly all life that has ever existed on earth is now dead. it would be silly to think everything on earth now will live forever...our time will pass too

  • Chuck Norris is The Only Man Who Can Fix This...!! He must kill all BP employees! Raid their Treasure and then provide the entire plant with free copies of WOW and unlimited online time. :)

  • i like how these guys just start ignoring the news guy and start brain storming!

  • I've said nuke it from day 1, better than destroying the entire ocean for the love of God......

  • @WhiteQueen420

    I thought the same thing, but I thought they were saying it was rock on the sea floor - if they nuke it and it doesn't work we are all screwed because it may get worse than it is now.

  • This story version, which I was aware of when it first broke for some odd reason does not have legs elsewhere. I se NO ONe else picking up on their version? WHY NOT?  Are they way off base? What?

  • @AnAmericanFan There is a media blackout. Gulf coast people are being threatend/silenced, so is the media. I saw a video of lady telling an independent reporter.

  • does everyone get that if this continues for a few years it will kill all the sea algea that gives us clean oxygen, 90 percent of the oxygen on the planet! the trees dont contribute that much! wake up! if they dont contain this,this really could be the end of humanity by slow suffication! really pisses me off! the giant life supporting system of the algea will be gone forever meaning you as well! suck it BP, throw that guy in that "wants to get back to his normal life ".hahaha, the earth suffers

  • it would have been closed if they didnt want to tap the thing again

  • People talk about the sea birds and how they're affected, but it doesn't really sink in fully until you see it for yourself: watch?v=H9-k9UhAjgY

  • No o-rings in casing because they use threaded metal to metal seals!

    Simmons you have lost all credibility w/ ur 'incredible and insightful analysis' . The riser is on the seafloor..what they heck are you talking about? Underground blowout -5-7 miles away BS!

    Idiots - Red Adair did not blowup, with explosives, blowouts! He used explosives to rob the fire of oxygen. Then approached the wellhead, still spewing oil or gas and snubbed a CAP..

    shut the hell up! I wish Chuck would do it for u 2 bozos

  • @latchdaddy1

    Ever seen a hose with a rubber o ring between the threaded metal to metal seals? Same exact thing

  • @LoryLandskipper No, there is no Hose with metal to metal unless you are thinking of Weco type. This casing mate, and no ones uses orings in casing unless you got something cheap. Outdated technology.

  • @latchdaddy1

    Thanks for the lesson.

  • Explosives have been widely used for decades, most famously by Red Adair, to extinguish oil and gas fires by rapidly pushing away the fire and oxygen. In other words, they can be used to “blow out” the fire. But they don’t stop the oil and gas coming out of the well.

    Does anybody remember the US military blowing up caves in Afghanistan in late 2001? What do you get when you put explosives in a cave? A bigger cave.

  • @marzolian yes their explanation and terminology is disturbing. I though that Simmons said, in another news piece with Bloomberg, that the Russians, when they had blowouts, used nuke charges placed in the well but far below the ground's surface, to collapse the whole oil well hole to seal it. He said something quite different here which did sound quite stupid to me. I see little other sources corraborating this version? WHY NOT? Are these guys way off base?

  • tragic

  • What are they smoking? Simmons is an investor, a finance guy. He must know something about the technology but it sure doesn’t come across here.

    Ponzi says that the casing was installed without O-rings. That makes no sense: casing is installed as a series of metal tubes threaded together, There are no O-rings in a casing string.

    They say, put a tanker above the spill. What will they use to get oil out of the water into the tanker? “Smart pipe”? What the heck is that?

  • Comment removed

  • My intuition is telling me we are not being told the truth whatsoever on what is truely unfolding with this event. Its been my experiance that the power of distraction is a tool commenly used on the masses.....in this case they have shown us the live streaming images of a leak they want us to see and focus on...so much that the cable news channels have it on nonstop in the sidebar, but what I think we should be asking, is what is going, that they arent speaking about....something isnt right.

  • They don't want to block the well-head, otherwise they will have to drill a new well. They are bullshitting us, this could have been stopped weeks ago, but the almighty fascist dollar.

  • @ZALGO333X2: As soon as the blowout occurred, the old well became useless. There is so much internal damage that it would impossible to control.

  • BP just denied the existance of the plooms. Are you kidding me? Really?

  • Hey ! Not to worry. I heard James Cameron will plug the hole ! YEAH !

  • lets how thunder doesnt strike that shit =0

  • @JA2NJ

    Thunder? Thunder doesn't strike anything, it's a fucking noise.

  • HERE WE GO AGAIN JUST LIKE KATRINA LOUISIANA GETS PUT ON THE BACK BURNER WHY IS IT TAKE N SO LONG,,, IT TOOK FOREVER TO SAVE OUR OWN PEOPLE IN THE U.S.OF A ON OUR OWN LAND I WOULDN'T SERVE IN THE US MILITARY AND IM ABOUT TO PUT MY AMERICAN FLAG 6 FEET UNDER TH DIRT WE CAN FLY TO THE MOON BUT CAN'T SAVE OUR OWN A&&

    WHAT A JOKE STOP TRY TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPEN AN STOP IT PLEASE WHAT THE F............. YOU'RS TRUELY LOUISIANA P.S HELP

  • The cone would be positioned wiv the bloody use of submersibles such that the cone tip would be inserted into a break at the top of the pipe; a submersible wiv a jackhammer apparatus would attach itself ter the top of the cone and lightly jackhammer the bloomin' openin' in the bloomin' pipe till the cone could be tilted into a plumb position; then jackhammer the chuffin' cone into the chuffin' pipe till it is wedged into place.

  • The Self-Efficacy Delusion - a long time best seller

  • DRILL BABY DRILL!!!!!!SPILL BABY SPILL!!!!!!!!!!HA HA HA ITS NOT NICE TO PLAY WITH MOTHER NATURE.FIRST THE FISH THAN THE BIRDS THAN THE PEOPLE GOOD!

  • This disaster needs a miracle!

  • hes right!! turn this over to Navy Engineers! then youll see some fast action! and BP will repay the Navy every penny they must spend on this mess! so get the navy engineers in there and boot out those idiot BP engineers! it will now be a restricted military zone!

  • WHERE IS THE BIONIC MAN?HE COULD FIX IT LOL,,seriously this is beyond bad the fish kiss them bye this is so damm bad man ..BP YOU SUCK

  • can chuck norris fix this ?

  • @menetoo Maybe he can team up with Charles Bronson and Steve Seagal and kick those mother's butts! Fascism has taken over everything here in the USA.

  • @jimbobubbadj america is a sinking ship...get ready for the hurricanes to splash that oil everywhere...and poison millions of people

  • @creedstat So many greedy people being so short sighted.

  • @creedstat wow, ur comment is just like mine usually r ~_~

  • @jimbobubbadj

    LOL hahhaa :)

    Talking about Fascism and things, i feel so sorry for your civil home people, and this isnt only America's issue, this is the ecosystem's and the environment, this is our whole world's problem, from the economical point of view, BP's and USA are being affected economically i see, lets say ameen the engineers fix this

  • @jimbobubbadj

    and no offense, i hate that fucking prick bush, he stole oil from many countries claiming shit, and now he gets it in the ocean, i could only wish that he drinks all the oil in his stomach and burn in fucking hell, much respect for the innocent american people

  • @jimbobubbadj how bout van damm can he help too!?

  • @wickedEGhatch can't do any worse than the help now

  • @jimbobubbadj def need charlse bronson

  • @menetoo DOES STUPIDS FLY

  • @SILLY711BEANS

    Do stupids fly *

    sigh

  • @menetoo ILL SHOW U STUPID WHEN I SHOW U OUR ALLIGATORS THEN ILL SEE A JACKA<< FLY IM IN LOUISIANA B SO YOU BESS SHHHHHHHH

  • @SILLY711BEANS

    Silly beans, It'd be more helpful if you speak English, thanks

  • @menetoo Just as soon as Chuck is finished working out on his Total Gym, he's gonna check it out. Or maybe McGyver might have something to fix it.

  • @menetoo No

  • @menetoo Call in Dirk Pitt. and sidekick Al Giordino.

  • @menetoo NO, because slugging it in the jaw would only make it worse....Sorry, I couldn't resist.

  • This was no Accident... Just my feelings on the matter, Think about it!!!!!

  • I thought Obama would fix everything!!!

  • This will most likely increase the cost of gas. I'm not looking forward to $4.00 a gallon simply because a couple of petroleum companies see an opportunity to capitalize on a disaster. On a related note, this may speed up research on cleaner methods of energy.

  • Flash forward the news, Christmas 2010; The oil spill has now completely circumvented the globe and the resulting fish kills , oxygen depletions and super el nino effect means we will all be dead by spring..

  • @AnarChristy Relax. 18 000 barrels is just a local problem. 

  • What if it never stops?Seriously, they may never cap it and it will just keep going, the entire planet polluted.

    What if the sea floor collapses. Tsunami? An even bigger gusher? Why was this allowed to happen.

    Why are people still driving trucks and huge cars?

  • Why the hell is it when protesters threaten some Corporate Weenie G- 20 summit, emergency decrees go into effect and everyone has do what the govt says yet BP is allowed to screw around endlessly for weeks and weeks ? Get the tankers in there and pump the crap out of the water !! NOW !!! And start indicting BP and Haliburton ( Cheney's Corp) for mass polluting .

    Off with their heads!!

  • I have an idea that just might work, why don't we (stay with me now) suck up all the water in the gulf of Mexico in a vaccum the size of the United States and than release the water back into the ocean once all the oil is cleaned up, what a great idea huh!!!!!!

  • @ccaa6732 how long/how much money to build that...and who would do the building?

  • @ccaa6732

    Yeah but Superman does not exist...

    In Superman III, Superman Blew Oil from a busted Oil Tanker back into the Tanker, and sealed it up with his Heat Vision.

  • These leaks could have been stopped immediately by detonating a nuclear charge within the well bore. The Russians have done this 6 times, with 100% success!

    I think what we have here is a situation where BP wants to keep this well active. They're basically trying to "save" the well - not plug it off.

  • @jcoopercam

    The Russkies said to Nuke it...

  • @jrag1000 This isn't going to end well...

  • @jcoopercam "Well" get it? LOL!
